Churches under the Olivet Assembly of South Asia observed a series of graceful and spiritually enriching gatherings during Passion Week, culminating in Good Friday and Easter Sunday services. The events were marked by deep reflection, heartfelt worship, and a renewed commitment to the message of the cross and resurrection.
Throughout the week, believers meditated on the suffering and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, understanding it as God’s ultimate expression of love and the payment for humanity’s sins. Scriptures such as Isaiah 53:5 – “By His wounds we are healed” – and John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world…” – guided their reflections.
On Good Friday, congregations remembered the words of Christ from the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30), acknowledging the completed work of redemption.
Easter Sunday was celebrated with joy and hope, declaring the risen Christ, as the angels proclaimed in Luke 24:5–7, “He is not here; He has risen!”
Romans 4:25 and 1 Corinthians 15 served as reminders of the significance of Christ’s resurrection for the justification and eternal hope of all believers. The gatherings strengthened the unity of churches and revived the mission to proclaim the Gospel with boldness and love.
