MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte on Easter Sunday, April 1,
encouraged Filipinos to be humble and to forgive.
"As we remember Christ's triumphs against death, may we nurture humility
and forgiveness in our hearts as these will free us from the shackles of
hatred and greed," the President said in his message. He added: "For it is only
by being selfless that we can truly say we are worthy of God's love."
Duterte also called on Filipinos to offer aid to the needy. "Let us make this
occasion more meaningful by offering aid to others, especially to those in
need. Let us pray for the welfare and safety of our countrymen and for
lasting peace in our nation so that we can all work together in harmony
towards real change," he added.
The President's Easter Sunday message has the same tone as his Palm Sunday
message, where he called on people to "help and uplift the downtrodden.“ In
2017, Duterte's Easter Sunday message was more political, saying Filipinos
"deserve salvation from social ills" such as drugs, criminality, and corruption.
Duterte spent the Holy Week break in Davao City, celebrating his 73rd birthday at
home with his grandchildren.
I join our brothers and sisters in the Christian faith in celebrating
Easter Sunday.
Today we are called to thank the Lord for giving us His only Son to
save the world from sin. It is also a time to glorify Jesus for His
sacrifices so that we can live with renewed hope towards eternal
salvation.
As we remember Christ's triumphs against death, may we
nurture humility and forgiveness in our hearts as these will free
us from the shackles of hatred and greed. For it is only by being
selfless that we can truly say we are worthy of God’s love.
Let us make this occasion more meaningful by offering aid to others,
especially to those in need. Let us pray for the welfare and safety of
our countrymen and for lasting peace in our nation so that we can all
work together in harmony towards real change.
I wish everyone a solemn and joyous Easter Sunday.
3. JESUS
BEFORE
HIS BIRTH
He is in a position of absolute
sovereign and complete control
over all things.
They are sinless, perfect and holy angels are still not
worthy to gaze the goodness and glory of this Lord.
Holiness means God is pure, good,
separate, distinct, better and
infinitely different in every good way.
It is the attribute of God that is
mentioned more frequently in Scripture
than others attribute of God.
4. JESUS’
INCARNATION
“in” “carne” means flesh
It teaches that God who is spirit took upon himself
a literal, actual and physical human body.Echoes Genesis 1
Jesus the second member of the trinity is face to face with God
the Father in the loving relationship with the Holy Spirit.
The second member of trinity, who
is face to face with God entered
into creation.
God went from glory into history. This is all
about reconciling relationship and all about love.

POSSIBLE TO COME
FROM GLORY TO
INCARNATION
Anointed One, the Messiah, God is my Salvation
He is the same as God the Father,
sharing the same attributes.
a slave having no right and
privileges, doing the most menial,
dirtiest and degrading job
The distance between the
Creator and Creation is infinite.
