Aregbesola, in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Belgore, on Wednesday, urged Christians to emulate the virtues of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience which were attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by His ministry on the earth.
