Cleric says Christians should embrace death with great expectations

Onaiyekan said this when he spoke with newsmen at the “Requiem Mass” in honour of the late James Okorie, the younger brother of Rev. Fr. Kenneth Agwu, at St. Francis Catholic Church, Galadimawa, Abuja.

He advised the Christian faithful not to be afraid of death, saying that death was inevitable as it could come anytime. He said that since death was inevitable, believers should look up to it with great expectations.

We will all go when our time comes. For us who are Christians, one thing is sure, that there is no untimely death for us. We die whenever it is our time. That also means that we should be ready for it at any time.
