He appealed to the people to uphold the dignity of every individual, reminding them that each person is created with inherent worth. Drawing on Christian teachings, he urged the community to live in harmony, support one another, and avoid feelings of jealousy or division. “We are all made in God’s image,” he said, reminding the audience to live according to Christian values, which encourages love, respect, and care for others.
