He also reminded the Church that the book of Ecclesiastes stressed that “the day of death is better than the day of birth”.
He said when a child is born, there will be challenges, inequality, strife and serious human encumbrances, but when a human being dies, it is an end to all human strife, maintaining that for a Christian, death opens the door to a glorious hereafter.
He challenged the Christians of this contemporary time to be conscious of the Lord’s second coming.
He said, WO2 Dennis Majali has gone to be with the Lord, but for us whom he left behind, how prepared are we if the end comes?”
