The 'Reluctant' Saviour

  It's once again a season to remember our Lord and saviour Jesus, and many creatives have not disappointed in their display of the events of the season.

One of such creative videos caught my attention, and as a writer per excellence, a lot of ideas are determined to be poured out.



I know that many Christians frown at any comical display of Christ-related issues. But, suffice it to say that no matter your stance or opinion, drama is a powerful informative and entertaining channel. And, like every great art, this skit by IG: @randypeterz while entertaining, made me ponder on the ramifications of what Christians would have faced had Christ Jesus being reluctant or refused to die for our transgressions. 

Have ever wondered about that? And, as a Christian, does it scare you to imagine Christianity without the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus? 

Well let's not allow fear to rule us, and embrace optimism. Our optimistic nature have decided to appreciate a few significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 


Significance of Christ's death 
  1. Fulfilment of prophecy. Isaiah 55:1-9, Matthew 27:9-52

2. Access to God. Ex 26:31-37, Hebrew 10:19-25

3. For our healing. Isaiah 53:5

4. Proof of His endless love. John 3:16

5. Proof of His supremacy. 1st Corinthians 15:15-20

6. Introduction of the new covenant. 1st Corinthians 11:23-26

7. Redemption from sin's curse. Galatians 3:13-14, 1st Corinthians 15:21-23

8. Christians' everlasting hope. Matthew 27:50-53

So as we celebrate this season, endeavour to; RAP
  • reflect on the significance of the season. 
  • appreciate God's endless love. 
  • ponder on how to be better.

POURQUOI? [8/7/16, 19:02]

All my life I have always done things because it's expected of me. The expectations didn't necessarily steam from within me but from without; others. And I honestly don't regret any bit of it. But after a tragic event in my area that reminded me once again of the vanity of life, I decided to change the dance; I decided to do something cos it's what I want and not what others wanted. I decided to indulge myself in some past-time passion of mine. So I went into the world of music— not to sound arrogant, but I virtually know a little of my onions about a lot except music, so I went to rectify that. One day, in this "music-world" we had an argument about the delicate topic; "churches".  And someone made this point about his reason for being in his present denomination and why he can't change church that surprised me.  According to him, 'he can never leave his church for a church that his present church is senior to'. {Lol😅} Now, that is prob

                I feel like I’m living a nightmare where I have the option to wake-up, but I choose to still be asleep 😴.  Ok...maybe 'nightmare' is me exaggerating and being a little bit dramatic. But, seriously, am  I the only one that took this eighteen (18) months plan hook, line and sinker. And look, fastforward to three (3) years+— between Covid-19 & ASUU, I feel like I'm on a pendulum. 🥺 What do I mean about the nightmare, you ask!?! Lol...wait, as a typical African (Nigerian), I'm already saying, 'God forbidden!' 'This nightmare is not my portion!' And, I'm not suspended on any pendulum'🙄🤣 Well...let’s take a mini trip to early this year, 2022. I lost an international job that was nearly within my grasp. Was it God’s will or a case of unpreparedness. Honestly, I’ve got no idea. After scaling through the written and two oral interviews, I was called in one Saturday for briefing, and was informed to resume work the following week Tu
