Uthixo Luthando. Akanakuzingca; Ubume bakhe kukupha. Wasinika uYesu. Isono salihlutha ihlabathi uthando; lwenza umntu azicingele yedwa. Ukuzingca akunathando; kuyatyhola. Mhla uAdam no Efa bonayo, banikela ingqalelo kwiziqu zabo. Babezazi ukuba bonile bakubona ukuba bahamba ze. Kunokuba basivume isono sabo, bazama ukubeka ityala.
UYesu weza emhlabeni waza wabonisa uluntu ukuba luyintoni na uthando. Waphila ubomi bokuthanda iintshaba zakhe waza wafa ukufa kothando. Wahamba eluthandweni, kwaye xa wayehamba, Wasinika uMoya kuye—uMoya wothando. UYesu wathi: “Njengoko ndinithandile , nani nimele nithandane.”
