Easter: Oyetola Felicitates Christians, Urges Rededication To God, Service To Humanity
Immediate past governor of Osun state, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, has felicitated Christian faithful in the state on the occasion of the Year 2023 Easter Celebration.
He has urged them to rededicate themselves to God and service to humanity, submitting that the Easter season should be seen as a period of sober reflection to further adhere strictly to its teachings and lessons.
Oyetola, in his Easter message to Christians which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his media aide, Mr Ismail Omipidan on Friday, advocated the need to further entrench healthy relationship, strengthen peaceful coexistence and promotion of unity during and after the festive period.
He called on Christians to continue to live together with people of other faiths in peace by extending hands of fellowship to non-Christians as exemplified by Jesus Christ, saying doing so would not only renew their faith in God but would also strengthen communal living.
‘On behalf of my family, I congratulate our Christian brethren all over the world particularly in Nigeria and most importantly in Osun State as they celebrate this year’s Easter in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Since Easter celebration is one of the cardinal festivities in the Christendom, it behooves on the followers of Christ to emulate the teachings and lessons of the celebration.
As a people, the Easter season offers us the opportunity to reflect on the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross and his resurrection, and to put into practice the lessons of love, sacrifice, perseverance and humility, which Jesus Christ taught and exemplified.
We must continue to stand together in peace and unity as one people irrespective of religion or social differences. Let us seize the occasion to be our brother’s keeper by reaching out to the less privileged amongst us’ the statement said- – Team@orientactualmags.com
