The Polri chief emphasized in his statement that Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross represents redemption for humanity’s sins, founded on Jesus’ love.

Prabowo believes that Christians can draw valuable messages and lessons from this event.
"This moment reminds us that behind suffering, there is hope; behind pain, there is salvation; and behind death, there is new life," he remarked.
