King praises Judaism and Islam in Easter message

I despair. After his Eid/Iftar escapades we did wonder whether we would get an Easter message. 

 From the Telegraph

The King has praised the ethics of Judaism and the “human instinct” of Islam in his Easter message.

In a message issued on Maundy Thursday, the King wished the public a “blessed and peaceful Easter”, saying the greatest virtue the world needs is “love”.

The King has made “interfaith dialogue” one of his key causes, regularly sharing his admiration for elements of other faiths and urging greater communication across religion.

He has issued several Easter messages before, including during his last few years as Prince of Wales, but has not made such an explicit reference to celebrating other faiths before.

A message from The King to mark Easter

On Maundy Thursday, Jesus knelt and washed the feet of many of those who would abandon Him. His humble action was a token of His love that knew no bounds or boundaries and is central to Christian belief.

The love He showed when he walked the Earth reflected the Jewish ethic of caring for the stranger and those in need, a deep human instinct echoed in Islam and other religious traditions, and in the hearts of all who seek the good of others.

The abiding message of Easter is that God so loved the world — the whole world — that He sent His son to live among us to show us how to love one another, and to lay down His own life for others in a love that proved stronger than death.

There are three virtues that the world still needs — faith, hope and love. “And the greatest of these is love”

MInd you, he isn’t wrong about Judaism, it being Passover recently.
