Popular ‘Yesu wa Tongaren’ born Eliud Wekesa has responded to an alleged Kenyans’ plan to crucify him over Easter holidays, saying that he has not come to die for the second time for the sins of mankind but instead save them.
The head of the New Jerusalem sect claimed to be Jesus Christ and now Kenyans in the internet wants him to emulate the biblical Jesus Christ as he refers to himself as the Messiah.
The self proclaimed Jesus reminded netizens that even in the Bible, Jesus was only crucified once and therefore he cannot be crucified for the second time.He asserted that he has just come for the second time to save believers and not to die for their sins.
“Jesus was crucified only once, and since I have come for the second time, it is written that I come to save those who await me, not to die for their sins a second time,” Wekesa said at his home in Lukokhwe village in Bungoma.
The crucifixion buzz was set ablaze on social media after a photo was shared of the Bungoma Jesus and his wife having a meal ahead of Easter festivities when Kenyans claimed that indeed he was having the last supper.
He however said that those rooting for his crucifixion are just agents of darkness who do not know that their destruction is soon due.
“Those are the dark hearts from Babylon. My father is letting them come together to attack me because he wants to destroy them,” Wekesa said.
Wekesa also declared that according to him, Easter festivals should kick off on July 28 and run up to July 30.
His remarks come at a time when Christians across the globe are celebrating Easter that is set to end on Monday, April 10.
