UPetru wabhekana nalokhu kanye nabaningi babalandeli bakaJesu bokuqala. Sibona isibonelo esisodwa esinamandla ngokukhethekile kuMathewu 16. Ngokomongo, uPetru, njengabaningi bamaJuda osuku lwakhe, wayecabanga ukuthi uMesiya wayeyofika njengenkosi enqobayo, ethatha ukunqoba amaRoma.

Kodwa uJesu weza njengenceku ehluphekayo, hhayi inkosi enqobayo. Akazange alindele lokho abaholi benkolo ababecabanga ukuthi wayeyoba yikho, edala indlela yokuphila egxilile, egxile eMbusweni.

Mhlawumbe ukuvuselela ukholo lwethu kumayelana nokuqaphela lapho sibeke khona imibono yethu kuNkulunkulu. Mhlawumbe yithuba lokuhlola ngobuqotho ukuthi sifana kakhulu noJesu noma sidala unkulunkulu ozwakala njengathi, ocabanga njengathi, futhi ofana nathi.

Futhi yingakho ukwephula izinkolelo zethu nokuzwakalisa ukungabaza kwethu kungekona okuphambene nokholo. Njengoba sifunda kuPetru, uTomase, nabanye abaningi, ngokuvamile kuyingxenye enkulu yokholo olukhulayo.
