Nick Clegg marks 'moving and powerful' story of Jesus
The Deputy Prime Minister has recorded a video message for Easter in which he describes the story of Jesus as 'moving and powerful'.
The Liberal Democrat leader, who earlier this year told Premier 'it must be the most wonderful thing to have faith', spoke of the difference made by Christians who have helped others through the Lent period.
He said: "As the poet Spenser wrote, "Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught."
"And the values that Jesus lived his life by - compassion, humility and forgiveness - resonate with people of all faiths and none."
"It's why so many people, both Christian and not, use the weeks before Easter - the forty days of Lent - to take stock of what is truly important to them and their families.
"Whether that is through giving their time to volunteer or going without something in their own lives to help those most in need. It all makes a difference."
