On Behalf of Chaplain, Rev Charles Mzinga, and the Board of Elders of Azania Front Lutheran Cathedral I wish all our members and visitors a very Happy Easter.
“ For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
This is the wonderful message of Easter. Jesus is the Lamb of God who died for our sins. God did not leave us helpless in our sins. We are not able to save ourselves. But God came down to earth. Jesus Christ took on human flesh and lived a perfect life. Finally He was condemned to die. Jesus died on the cross treated as a criminal. Jesus had no sin. He died for us. He was punished in our place so that our sins can be forgiven.
Then, Praise the Lord, He rose again that first Easter Sunday. He overcame sin and death and hell for us. Let us worship and praise God for this wonderful salvation. Make sure you are truly trusting in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

SALAMU ZA PASAKA
Kwa niaba ya Mchungaji Kiongozi, Mch Charles Mzinga, na Baraza la Wazee wa Kanisa Kuu Azania Front ninawatakia washarika na wageni wetu wote Heri ya Pasaka.
Mungu awabariki sana katika Siku Kuu hii muhimu sana ya Kanisa.
‘Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, hata akamtoa Mwanawe pekee, ili kila mtu amwamimiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele” Yohana 3:16
Huu ndio ujumbe wa ajabu wa Pasaka. Yesu ni Mwanakondoo aliyechinjwa kwa ajili yetu.
Mungu hakutuacha dhambini, bali alimtuma Mwana wake wa pekee duniani kutuokoa. Yesu Kristo alivaa mwili wa mwanadamu na aliishi maisha kamilifu hapa duniani. Kisha alihukumiwa na alichinjwa Msalabani kama mhalifu. Lakini Yesu hakua na hatia. Alitoa uhai wake kwa ajili yetu. Aliadhibiwa kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu. Na Haleluya! alifufuka Siku ya Jumapili ya Pasaka. Akawa hai tena. Yesu alishinda dhambi, mauti na Shetani, ili sisi tuweze kusamehewa na kupatanishwa na Mungu.
Mshukuru Mungu kwa wokovu huu. Uhakikishe kwamba unamtegemea Yesu Kristo kama Bwana na Mwokozi wako.
Karibuni sana katika Ibada zetu msimu huu wa Pasaka.
