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.

"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.
