ONE kwezici ezithakazelisa kakhulu zeSonto lokuqala ukuthi, ngemuva kwePentekoste, ngokushesha, cishe, baqala ukwakha Umphakathi. Bathengisa konke ababenakho futhi bakuphatha ngokufana ukuze izidingo zabo bonke abantu zinakekelwe. Futhi-ke, akukho lapho sibona khona umyalo ocacile ovela kuJesu wokuthi senze kanjalo. Kwakunamandla amakhulu, kuphambene nokucabanga kwalesosikhathi, ukuthi le miphakathi yokuqala yaguqula umhlaba owawubazungezile.

Isandla seNkosi sasinabo kanye nenani elikhulu labakholwayo laphendukela eNkosini… bathuma uBarnaba ukuba aye e-Antiyokiya. Lapho efika futhi ebona umusa kaNkulunkulu, wajabula futhi wabakhuthaza bonke ukuba bahlale bethembekile eNkosini ngokuqina kwenhliziyo. (Kufundwa kokuqala namuhla)

Isandla seNkosi sasinabo ngoba babephila ngokufundisa kukaJesu ngokweqiniso—Imfundiso yokuthi, yize yayingabayaleli ngokusobala ukuthi bakhe imiphakathi, lokho yakwenza ngokuphelele — uma kungenjalo ngesibonelo saKhe sokuqoqa abaPhostoli abayiShumi naMbili bamzungezile.

Ngakho-ke, uma mina, njengomphathi nomfundisi, ngigeze izinyawo zenu, bekufanele nigezane izinyawo ... Ngoba lowo omncane kunani nonke nguye omkhulu kunabo bonke ... Ngininika umyalo omusha: thanda omunye omunye. Njengoba nginithandile, nani kufanele nithandane. Ngalokho bonke bayokwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma nithandana. (Johane 13:14; Luka 9:48; Johane 13: 34-35)

UJesu akenzi izimangaliso nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso uphawu lobufundi (okungenani hhayi ngokuyinhloko), kodwa uthando, okuyisikhungo sobumbano. Ngakho-ke, noma ngabe kungumphakathi wama-oda enkolo, umphakathi womndeni, noma umphakathi wendoda nenkosikazi, uthando olusebenzayo yilokho okukuguqula, kukwenze kube ukukhanya kukaKristu emhlabeni.

… Kwakuse-Antiyokiya lapho abafundi baqala ukubizwa ngamaKrestu. (Ukufunda kokuqala)

Lokho kungenxa yokuthi kwaba lapho lapho baba "abanye oKrestu" emhlabeni.

Imisebenzi engiyenzayo egameni likaBaba iyangifakazela… Mina noBaba simunye. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)

Abantu balalela ngokuzithandela kofakazi kunothisha, futhi lapho abantu belalela othisha, kungenxa yokuthi bangofakazi. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla, hhayi. 41

Uma umhlaba usenkingeni yokholo namuhla, akukhona ngenxa yokushoda kweziteshi zomsakazo nezethelevishini ezingamaKristu ezingamahora angama-24; uma umhlaba ungamtholi uKristu, akukhona ukuswela amasonto namatabernakele; uma umhlaba ungakholelwa eVangelini, akukhona ngenxa yokushoda kwamaBhayibheli kanye nokomoya izincwadi. Kunalokho, kungenxa yokuthi abasakwazi ukuthola leyo miphakathi yothando nomsebenzi, lezo zindawo lapho “ababili noma abathathu bebuthene khona” egameni Lakhe… egameni Lothando.
