Apostle Frederick Kweku Andoh, the Assin Foso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, emphasised that Christianity is distinct among all religions due to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaking at the climax of the 2024 Easter Convention held at Assin Foso Jomsco School Park on Sunday, March 31, 2024, Andoh addressed the topic, “The Message, Evidence, Effects, and the Commission of the Resurrection” with 1Corinthians 5:21, 1Corinthians 15:1-9, and Romans 4:25 as scripture references.
“The foundation of Christianity is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is what makes Christianity unique among all other religions,” he affirmed.
Apostle Andoh further noted that Jesus’ resurrection was vicarious because he did not die for his own sins but for humanity’s.
He asserted that among the many people to whom Jesus revealed himself after his resurrection was his brother, James. This, he said, was significant evidence of Jesus’ resurrection because, until then, James, like other Jews, did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah.
“The evidence of the resurrection motivates action,” he emphasized.
Apostle Andoh encouraged all believers to continue propagating the message of the resurrection, which communicates the Lordship of Jesus and our total obedience to him.
He also stressed that the resurrection message must prompt us to walk in righteousness and learn to forgive one another.
The climax of the convention, held at the Area Level, brought together political figures, royals, and other dignitaries in the area.
