The United Church of Papua New Guinea (UCPNG) left an Easter message to its members in the country and abroad. Reverend Garo Kilagi, UCPNG’s Moderator, encouraged members of the church to see this Easter period as a time of transition. Rev. Kilagi stated that Easter is more than just a remembrance of Christ's resurrection, it is an invitation to experience revival in our own lives. “Just as Christ rose from the tomb, breaking the chains of our of our death, he calls us to step out of the graves of sin despair and brokenness into his glorious light.” “The reading from Luke Chapter 24:6 [He is not here; he has risen!..]; this scripture tells us that the tomb represents pain struggles and lost hope the tomb was a was meant to be the final resting place of Jesus sealed by the expectations of men, yet even in the darkest moments God was working behind the scenes.” He explained that many find themselves in their own tombs of spiritual dryness, emotional wounds or battles, or even sickness and financial struggles, but the story of Easter is a reminder that the tomb is not the end. “The tomb is not just a place of death; it is a place of transition.” “The tomb represents a moment between sorrow and victory; between endings and new beginnings the tomb is a place of transformation.” “Jesus entered the tomb as the crucified savior but emerged as the risen king.” “The tomb is where struggles turn into testimonies, where despair meets hope and brokenness leads to renewal.” He added that the power of resurrection is a call to renewal and revival. “When Christ rose, the power of sin and death was shattered, and new life became possible for all who believed.” He stated that revival begins when we surrender our burdens and trust in the victory of Jesus. “Christ's resurrection assures us that no grave be it fear, failure or hopelessness can hold us or stop us.” “The same same power that raised Jesus is available to revive our faith our church and our families and our futures.” He encouraged the church to embrace restoration. “It is a call to rise up to walk in the purpose and power of God which he has given us we're no longer bound by our past the stone has been rolled away, and revival has begun.” “Easter is a celebration of new life, new faith and unstoppable hope just as Christ walked out of the tomb so we must walk out of our own tombs in faith knowing that resurrection power is at work within us.”
