Bekukade kunentaba encane yokushushuluza ngaseWarren, ePennsylvania ebizwa ngokuthi "Amabhakaloni". Isikhathi sokuqala lapho ngigibela eqhweni (ngaphandle kwasegcekeni elingemuva) ngangiseBuckaloons. Kwakukhona intambo edonsayo eyayizokuyisa phezulu ethambekeni likanogwaja. Ungabamba, futhi uzokhuphuka -- akunankinga ngaphandle kokuthi ulahlekelwe ukuma kwakho, noma umuntu ophambi kwakho ulahlekile.
Ukudonsa ngentambo kuyisingathekiso esihle sempilo kamoya. Intambo ikhona, igijima, isilungele ukudonsa. Kunomfudlana ongapheli wothando nokuhlakanipha, ovela eNkosini, wehla entabeni uze ufike phansi, uphenduka, unikela ngokubamba, futhi ugijima uhlehla entabeni ubheke ekuhlanganeni naYe. Uma sibamba, kuzosidonsela phezulu. Uma singakwenzi, iyaqhubeka isebenza, isilungele isinqumo sethu esilandelayo esingokomoya. Sisazulazula.
Ingabe sikhona isisekelo esingokweBhayibheli salesisingathekiso? Yebo:
“UJehova ubonwa ekude nami, ethi: “Mina ngikuthandile ngothando oluphakade; ngalokho ngikudonsile ngomusa.” (Jeremiya 31:3)
"Isandla sami sifumene okungokwabantu njengesidleke; futhi njengoba umuntu ebutha amaqanda ashiyiwe, kanjalo ngibuthile wonke umhlaba; futhi kwakungekho neyodwa eyandizayo ngephiko, noma ekhamisile ngomlomo, noma etshiyozayo.”Isaya 10:14)
"Futhi mina, uma ngiphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ngiyodonsela bonke Kimi.”Johane 12:32)
"Kepha ebheka umoya onamandla wesaba, eseqala ukushona wakhala, wathi: “Nkosi, ngisindise! UJesu welula isandla masinyane, wambamba, wathi kuye: “Wena onokukholwa okuncane, ungabazeleni na? (Mathewu 14:30-31)
Futhi lapho uJesu ebethelwa esiphambanweni namasela amabili, elinye “libamba intambo yentambo”, elinye alikwenzi:
"Futhi esinye sezelelesi ezazilenga kuye samhlambalaza, sithi: "Uma unguKristu, zisindise wena nathi." Kepha omunye waphendula wamkhuza, wathi: "Awumesabi yini uNkulunkulu, lokhu wena ekugwetshweni okufanayo? Futhi thina ngempela, ngokufanele, ngoba samukela lokho esikufanelekele lokho esikwenzile, kodwa uJesu akazange asho lutho kimi. embusweni waKho uJesu wathi kuye: Amen, ngithi kuwe: Namuhla uzakuba nami eParadisi. (Luka 23:39-43).
Futhi ekugcineni, nali isiqephu esivela ku-"True Christian Religion":
"Eqinisweni kukhona uhlobo lwensimu ehlala iphuma eNkosini, edonsela konke ezulwini. Igcwalisa umhlaba wonke kamoya kanye nomhlaba wonke wenyama. Kufana nomsinga onamandla olwandle othwala imikhumbi ngasese ngasese. Bonke abantu abakholelwa eNkosini futhi baphile ngemiyalo Yakhe beza kuleyo nsimu noma emisinga futhi baphakanyiswe. Labo abangakholwa, nokho, abafuni ukungena kuyo." (Inkolo YeQiniso yobuKhrestu 652)
