Ungaveli nje uthathe izwi lami ngakho! Bheka lawa mazwi avela kongqondongqondo abakhulu abangamaKristu, ababhali, nezazi zemfundiso yenkolo: 

• “Ubani phakathi kwethu ongakaze abe nokungazethembi, ukulahlekelwa ngisho nokungabaza ohambweni lwakhe lokukholwa? … Sonke sikubonile lokhu. Nami futhi.” —UPapa Francis
• “Ngicabanga ukuthi inkinga enginayo ukweswela ukholo … ngokujwayelekile uma ngikhuleka, ngiyazibuza ukuthi angithumeli yini izincwadi ekhelini elingekho.” —C.S. Lewis
• “Ukungabaza kuyizintuthwane ebhulukweni lokukholwa. Kukugcina kuphapheme futhi kuhamba.” —Frederick Buechner
• “Abanye abantu banomqondo ngoNkulunkulu ongamanga kangangokuthi kungaba ngcono kubo ukungabaza kunokuba bahlale bezinikele. Lapho bezinikele ngokwengeziwe, ukholo lwabo luyoba lubi kakhulu, njengoba lusekelwe emangeni. Ukungabaza esimweni esinjalo akuqondakali kakhulu kuphela, ngisho kuwuphawu lokuzwela ngokomoya nangokwengqondo ephutheni, ngoba isithombe sabo asisona esikaNkulunkulu kodwa isithombe.”—Os Guinness

Esinye sezibonelo engizikhonzile zokungabaza eBhayibhelini siza ngaphambi kokuba uJesu athumele abafundi Bakhe ukuthi bayoshintsha umhlaba ekupheleni kweVangeli likaMathewu. Kuyindinyana ebizwa ngokuthi iKhomishini Enkulu. Umyalo Omkhulu uwuhlelo lokumasha esinalo njengamaKristu lokuhlanganyela izindaba ezinhle zikaJesu nezwe ukuze bathole uthando nomusa ofanayo abaningi bethu abanawo. 

Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu asho lamazwi, okuvele kube amazwi okugcina alotshiwe awakhuluma ngaphambi kokusuka eMhlabeni, sitshelwa evesini 17 ukuthi abanye babafundi babekhonza, futhi abanye babo bangabaza. 

Abanye babekhonza abanye bengabaza. Okwabo ukungabaza akuzange kubenze bangafaneleki. Ukungabaza kwakho akukwenzi ungafaneleki. Abanye babo bakhonza, abanye babo bangabaza, kodwa bonke balandela uJesu.
