njengesigaba somsebenzi kaJesu: wavula indlela entsha. Ngenkathi efika washumayela iVangeli lombuso wezulu, wathi umuntu kufanele aguquke, avume izono. Ngemva kokuba uJesu eseqede umsebenzi Wakhe uPetru noPawulu nabanye baqala baqhubekisa umsebenzi kaJesu. Ngemva kokuba uJesu abethelwe esiphambanweni wenyukela ezulwini, bathunyelwa nguMoya ukushumayela iVangeli lesiphambano.
Ngesikhathi, eNkathini Yomusa, uNkulunkulu ebuyela ezulwini lesithathu, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga sonke isintu empeleni wawusuqhubekele esinyathelweni sokugcina. Okuwukuphela okwakusele emhlabeni kwakuyisiphambano leso uJesu ayesithwele, ilineni elicolekile uJesu ayesongwe ngalo, kanye nomqhele wameva nengubo ebomvu klebhu uJesu ayeyigqokile (lezi yizinto amaJuda azisebenzisela ukuhlekisa Ngaye). Okungukuthi, umsebenzi wokubethelwa kukaJesu wawuvuse uthuthuva isikhathi esithile futhi lwase lwehlile. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuye phambili, abafundi bakaJesu baqala ukuqhubekisela phambili umsebenzi Wakhe, belusa futhi benisela emabandleni yonke indawo.

Kusukela lapho kwaqala ukwakhiwa kwamabandla eNkathini Yomusa.
Ngaphambili, emihlanganweni ekhethekile noma imihlangano emikhulu eyayibanjwa ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene, kwakukhulunywa ngengxenye eyodwa kwendlela yokwenza. Lokhu kwenza kwakuba yilokho okwakuzokwenziwa ngeNkathi Yomusa, futhi kwakuhlobene kancane kakhulu nolwazi ngoNkulunkulu, ngoba imibono yeNkathi Yomusa kwakuwumbono wokubethelwa kukaJesu kuphela, futhi yayingekho imibono emikhulu kunalona. Umuntu kwakungafanele azi okungaphezulu komsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga isintu ngokubethelwa, ngakho ngeNkathi Yomusa yayingekho eminye imibono yokulandelwa ngumuntu. Ngale ndlela, umuntu wayenolwazi oluncane ngoNkulunkulu, futhi ngale kolwazi ngothando lukaJesu kanye nozwelo, kwakunezinto ezimbalwa ezilula nezidabukisayo okwakumele azenze, izinto ezaziqhelelene kakhulu nesikhathi sanamuhla. Phambilini, noma ngabe kwakuhlangenwe ngayiphi indlela, umuntu wayengakwazi ukukhuluma ngolwazi lwangokoqobo lomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, engeke akwazi nokusho ngokucacile ukuthi iyiphi indlela yokwenza efanele umuntu okwakumele ayithathe. Wayedamane engeza imininingwane elula esisekelweni sokulalela nokubekezela; kwakungekho nguquko etheni engqikithini yokwenza kwakhe, ngoba ngaso leso sikhathi uNkulunkulu akazange enze msebenzi omusha, futhi ayekudinga nje kumuntu kwakuwukulalela nokubekezela, noma ukuthwala isiphambano. Ngaphandle kwalezi zenzo, ayikho imibono engaphezu kwokubethelewa kukaJesu.
Phambilini, kwakudingeka ukuthi umuntu ahambisane nomthetho kanye nemiyalelo, futhi kwakudingeka ukuthi abakezele futhi athobeke.

Bampofu, bayadabukisa, bayizimpuphuthe, futhi balahlekile, bayalila ebumnyameni, “Iphi indlela?” Yeka indlela abalangazelela ukukhanya ngayo, njengenkanyezi etshuzayo, eyehla masinyane bese ihlakaza amandla obumnyama obucindezele abantu iminyaka eminingi. Ubani ongazi ukuthi bethemba ngokukhathazeka okungakanani, futhi bakulangazelela kangakanani lokhu ubusuku nemini? Laba bantu abahlupheka kakhulu bahlala beboshwe emigodini yobumnyama, bengenalo ithemba lokukhululwa, ngisho nangosuku lokubanika kokukhanya; bayoyeka nini ukukhala? Le mimoya entekenteke engazange ithole ukuphumula ihlupheka ngempela ngeshwa elingaka. Bavalelwe isikhathi eside unya lwezintambo kanye nomlando omi ndawonye. Ubani oke wezwa umsindo wokukhala kwabo?
