7. Usho kutsini lomfanekiso?

⁷ Lamuhla siwucondza kancono lomfanekiso wetimvu netimbuti. Siyati kutsi “iNdvodzana yemuntfu,” nobe “iNkhosi” nguJesu. ‘Bomnakabo’ Nkhosi ngulabagcotjwe ngemoya longcwele futsi ngulabatawubusa naJesu ezulwini.

10. Timvu tingabasita njani bomnakabo Khristu?

¹⁰ Ngesikhatsi Jesu asho umfanekiso wetimvu netimbuti, abekhuluma ngaloko lobekutawenteka esikhatsini sekuphela. (Matewu 24:3) Sibonelo saloko kutsi watsi: “Letindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso tiyawushunyayelwa emhlabeni wonkhe.” (Matewu 24:14) Ngaphambi kwekutsi akhulume ngetimvu netimbuti, washo umfanekiso wemathalenta. Jesu washo lomfanekiso kuze afundzise labagcotjiwe kutsi bekufanele basebente ngekutimisela emsebentini wekushumayela. Kodvwa bambalwa labagcotjiwe labasaphila emhlabeni futsi mnyenti umsebenti lokusafanele wentiwe. Labagcotjiwe bayalwa kutsi bashumayele “etiveni tonkhe” ngaphambi kwekutsi kufike kuphela. Njengobe sifundza kulomfanekiso wetimvu netimbuti, “timvu” tisita bomnakabo Jesu. Umsebenti wekushumayela ungulenye yetindlela letibalulekile timvu letingabasita ngayo bomnakabo Jesu.
