JAKARTA, KOMPAS — President Joko Widodo congratulated Christians on celebrating Good Friday. The President hopes that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the values of love and forgiveness will continue to strengthen the togetherness of the Indonesian nation.
"May we always internalize the great meaning of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and make the values of genuine love, infinite forgiveness, and soothing peace as the inspiration for our life together as the nation of Indonesia", wrote the President on his social media account, on Friday (29/3/2024).
Good Friday, according to the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, also reminds people to learn about love and sacrifice. As for Sunday Easter, people will be reminded again about faith and hope, namely that God never abandons His people.
Luhut also invites everyone to unite in prayer and contemplate the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind. Thus, the values demonstrated by Jesus can also serve as an example in daily actions and decisions.
Luhut stated that the crossroads that every servant takes always requires sacrifice within it. However, that sacrifice is beautiful when done in the love of Christ.
"Let us continue to offer good prayers by always being a channel of blessings for others in the world. Happy commemoration of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. May peace, brotherhood, and blessings always be with us all," wrote Luhut on his social media.
Minister Retno Marsudi also made similar remarks on her social media account.
Let us continue to offer good prayers by always being a channel of blessing for others in the world.
Meanwhile, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Hadi Tjahjanto, not only extends congratulations but also conducts a review of security measures for the Holy Thursday service at the Jakarta Cathedral, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (28/3/2024).
This review is also to ensure that worship is carried out safely, peacefully, and devoutly. So far, according to Hadi, coordination meetings to ensure worship safety have been held together with stakeholders.
"As the coordinator, I have held a series of joint meetings with relevant stakeholders so that the worship service from Thursday to Sunday can be carried out well without the slightest disturbance," said Hadi via his Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno hopes that the Easter momentum filled with joy, peace, and hope will become a means for everyone to increasingly appreciate diversity.
