“Does Jesus still belong on the cross? I am a Christian, and Christ has already died for me. He has been crucified there’s no need to constantly dwell there. Am I saying the cross isn’t important? No,” Bello explained.
He revealed that his insight came during a time of prayer, when he realised that Christ is no longer on the cross but seated beside God the Father. “When I think of Jesus now, I think of my identity in Him, seated right next to the Father,” he said.
Bello emphasised that the resurrection is central to Christian belief, citing Apostle Paul: “If Christ has not risen, then your faith is futile.”
The singer also shared that he was born a Muslim and only became a Christian after studying the Bible independently. “I had to start with the Bible myself—not for religious reasons, but for personal reasons,” he said.
He expressed concern that many believers remain focused on the crucifixion rather than embracing the victory of the risen Christ. “Our faith and identity are in the ascended Christ, not on earth or on the tree.
The cross carried our sins the old identity is gone. Dwelling there is like nailing Christ over and over again,” he added.
Bello encouraged Christians to prioritise love as the true marker of faith, recalling Jesus’ teaching: “People will know you’re my followers by the love you have for each other.”
He also highlighted that communion serves as the genuine act of remembrance, celebrating both the sacrifice and triumph of Christ.
