U-Abishi
Esiza abantu bakhe bakholelwe kuJesu
U-Abishi wayesebenzela indlovukazi eyayingumLamani. U-Abishi wayefunde ngoJesu Kristu embonweni kababa wakhe. Iminyaka eminingi, wayekholelwa kuJesu futhi efuna ukumlandela. Kodwa wayengakawatsheli amanye amaLamani.
Ngolunye usuku, umNefi ogama lakhe lingu-Amoni weza embusweni ezofundisa amaLamani ngoJesu kanye noNkulunkulu. Indlovukazi nenkosi bakukholwa lokhu okwakufundiswa u-Amoni. Indlovukazi nenkosi bebazi ukuthi uJesu uzoza emhlabeni futhi enze ukuze bonke abakholwa kuye bathethelelwe.
U-Alima 17:12–13; 18:33–36, 39–40; 19:9, 13
Indlovukazi nenkosi bezwa uMoya oNgcwele futhi bajabula ngendlela yokuthi bawela phansi. U-Amoni kanye nezinceku nabo bawa. U-Abishi uyena yedwa owayemile.
U-Abishi wayefuna ukutshela abantu ngalesi simangaliso. Wayenethemba lokuthi abantu bazokholelwa emandleni kaNkulunkulu uma bebona okwenzekile. Ngakho-ke u-Abishi wagijima eya kwindlu nendlu. Watshela abantu ukuthi bahambe bayobona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayenzelani indlovukazi nenkosi.
Abantu abaningi beza endlini yendlovukazi nenkosi. Bamangala ngoba kwakubonakala sengathi indlovukazi, inkosi, nazo zonke izinceku zabo zazifile.
Babedidekile abantu. Baphikisana ngokuthi kwenzekeni kwindlovukazi nenkosi.
Lapho u-Abisha ebuya, wabona abantu bexabana. Wayedabukile ngoba babengawaboni amandla kaNkulunkulu. Wabe esebamba indlovukazi ngesandla, indlovukazi yasukuma yadumisa uJesu.
Indlovukazi yabamba umyeni wayo ngesandla, wasukuma. Inkosi yatshela abantu ngoJesu. Bese u-Amoni kanye nezinye izinceku basukuma. Bonke batshela abantu ukuthi uJesu ubashintshile. Manje base befuna ukwenza izinto ezinhle kuphela. Abantu abaningi babakholwa.
Njengoba nje u-Abishi ayethemba, abantu bawabona amandla kaNkulunkulu. Abantu abaningi bakholwa kuJesu futhi babhabhadiswa. BabenoMoya kaNkulunkulu nabo. Baze bamisa iBandla ezweni labo. Babona ukuthi uJesu usiza noma ubani ophendukayo futhi okholwa Kuye.
