There is a fundamental distinction between Jesus’s choice to die and the experience of the Tutsi during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Jesus knew the "plan," yet the victims of the Genocide were met with a senseless, systematic attempt at total erasure.
While it is understandable that pastors and religious leaders wish to provide comfort, we must remember that the killers themselves weaponized religious imagery—such as the Easter themes invoked here—calling their victims "lambs offered for slaughter." To use these same tools to "create hope" during Kwibuka period is not only premature but profoundly disconnected.
When President Kagame speaks of a people who "died and resurrected," he is not merely referring to the events of 1994; he is describing a continuous, grueling process of remembrance and renewal. For survivors, Kwibuka is a literal reliving of the past. Survivors describe the feeling of being "killed now" in the present: "Ubu barimo kutwica" (They are killing us now).
To tell someone in the midst of that "reliving" that their suffering or survival was part of a divine plan can feel like a secondary injury. Offering the platitude "God has a plan" to survivors submerged in trauma is burdensome, dismissive, and even absurd.
During Kwibuka, perhaps the best ministry is not a sermon or a prayer that equates the suffering of a "God" with that of humans who did not choose their fate. It would be better to refrain from using scriptures that bypass the "why" of those who died or survived.
During Kwibuka, true comfort does not require a "God's plan." It requires the grace to stay quiet, to sit in silence, to listen, and to offer a presence that does not demand an explanation—the unburdened act of simply being there.

the worst part of being a good listener is that people get creeped out by the information I've retained about them just from listening
