Easter is a time to consid­er the events of Christ’s betrayal, sacrifice, death, and resurrection, which altered humanity’s connection with its creator.

The celebration of Easter calls for forgiveness as the Lord Je­sus Christ sacrificed his life for mankind forgiving them of their sins through his blood that was shed for mankind. In a same vein, Christians must show peo­ple Christ’s love by forgiving one another.

Easter is here again and offers a chance to forgive one another, let us take advantage of this wonder­ful chance to patch up damaged relationships, no matter how difficult it may be.

Since there is no assurance that we will survive tomorrow, let us make the required adjustments now before it is too late. James 4:14 of the Bible states, “For what is your life? It even appears as a vapour for a brief period of time before disappearing.”

Many people occasionally har­bour resentment for offences, particularly betrayal by those they trust and love the most. Judas, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ, betrayed Him by handing him over to the chief priests.

Despite having a strong devotion to Christ, Peter disowned Jesus three times at a crucial moment. However, he wept bitterly mean­ing he regretted his actions. The issue is how do you act when you offend someone? And also, how do you respond to people who hurt you?

Certain remarks have a profound effect and can never be repaired. Regardless of the situation, if you have harmed a loved one, express regret to them in order to calm tensions, mend scars, and rees­tablish relationships.

In order for peace to prevail, The Spectator urges individuals who have been offended to make every effort to extend forgive­ness.

In order to make the Easter celebration more meaningful and enjoyable, let us do everything in our power to show our family, friends, neighbours, work col­leagues and loved ones kindness, compassion, understanding, love, forgiveness, and consideration.

It is obvious that many people have already scheduled a number of events for Easter, including sharing food and beverages, hav­ing a good time, and reestablish­ing family relationships.

Aside from the enjoyable events, Easter is significant be­cause it allows us to make time to reflect on the things that truly matter—showing the love of Jesus Christ.

Set aside time to spend with your spouse and children, and express your love and affection for them.

By thoughtfully considering Christ’s suffering, death, cruci­fixion, and resurrection, you can reestablish your relationship with your Creator. This Easter season, let forgiveness be the most im­portant thing.

Happy Easter!

Dear Editor,

 I am writing to express a concern about the unhygienic conditions under which food vendors go about their business in some communities.

This is mostly associated with vendors that sell near gutters. It has become widespread and the earlier authorities do something about it, the better it will be for us.

I have noticed in recent times that several food sellers have set up their stalls close to open gutters, posing serious health risks to consumers.

The proximity of these food stalls to gutters means that food is being prepared and sold in an environment contaminated with filth, bacteria, and other harmful substances.

This is unacceptable and requires immediate attention from the rele­vant authorities.

I urge the Metropolitan and District Assemblies under the Local Govern­ment Ministry and other health agen­cies to take swift action to address this issue.

Food vendors should be relocated to cleaner and safer areas, with reg­ular inspections to be conducted to ensure that food is being handled and sold in a hygienic manner.

The recent outbreak of Cholera in some regions of the country should keep us on our toes to ensure that we don’t lose guard with sanitation.

I hope that your paper will highlight this important issue to help bring about the necessary changes.
