Ekufundeni kokuqala kwanamuhla, uSt. John ubuza ngokugxeka:

Ngubani ngempela onqobayo emhlabeni ngaphandle kwalowo okholwa ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu?

“Ukukholwa” akukhona nje ukwamukela ukuthi uJesu waphila eminyakeni engama-2000 eyedlule, kodwa ukuthi uyaphila manje kimi njengeNkosi noMsindisi, uMelaphi noMduduzi. Kungukukholwa futhi ukwethemba ukuthi Ngiyathandwa.

Uthumela umyalo wakhe emhlabeni; ligijime izwi lakhe ngokushesha!

Yimuphi umehluko onochoko abona ukuthi angawenza ngaphandle kwekhathekishi, ukuqeqeshwa, kanye neMasters in Divinity? Kodwa uJesu akaceli ukuthi anikele ngaphezu kwamandla akhe, ebona ukuthi “lokho kuzoba ubufakazi kubo. ” Onochoko wenza, futhi…

Umbiko [ngoJesu] wasakazeka kakhulu, futhi izixuku ezinkulu zabuthana ukumlalela nokuphulukiswa ezifweni zabo…

Akudingeki ukuba ube ngumxolisi oxolayo; vele wabelane nabanye ngalokho okunikezwe mahhala yiNkosi. Futhi lapho unikela ngokwengeziwe, uzothola ngokwengeziwe futhi ukhule njengoba ezokwenza “akunike umoya wokuhlakanipha nokwambulwa okuholela olwazini ngaye. " ^[3]isib. Efe 1:17; 2 Kor 9: 8
