UPetru uphetha incwadi yakhe yesibili futhi ufuna abantu bakhe bakhumbule ukuthi uJesu uyeza maduze, futhi ubakhuthaza ukuba baphile ukuphila kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu. Kodwa lesi sikhumbuzo asithandwa eqenjini labafundisi bamanga. Bayangabaza ukuthi uJesu uzobuya futhi abaqiniseki ukuthi kunesidingo sokunqanda izifiso zabo.

Abafundisi bamanga banezimpikiswano ezimbili. Okokuqala, kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba uNkulunkulu wehlulekile ukungenelela emlandweni wesintu nokwahlulela ububi. Lolo suku oluprofethiwe lokwahlulelwa kobubi bethu bokuziphatha alukaze lufike, ngakho-ke indlela esiziphatha ngayo akufanele isho lutho kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa uPetru uthi bayawaziba nje amaqiniso.

UNkulunkulu uye wangenela emlandweni wesintu. UNkulunkulu wakhipha izwe emanzini kudala ngezwi elilula. Futhi ngelinye igama wacwilisa umhlaba ngaphansi kukazamcolo ephendula ukonakala kwabantu. Laba bafundisi bamanga abawazi kahle umBhalo, leli iphuzu azophinde aliveze kamuva. UNkulunkulu ubelokhu ezimbandakanyile emlandweni womuntu kusenjalo izwi lakhe lisazohlulela umhlaba.

Impikiswano yesibili yabafundisi bamanga iwukuthi uNkulunkulu usephelelwe isikhathi. UJesu wathi uzofika masinyane, kodwa akeze eze. UPetru ubonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ongafi akasebenzi ngesilinganiso sesikhathi sethu. “Ngokushesha” kuye kungase kuhluke kakhulu kulokho thina esikwaziyo. Futhi ngaphandle kwalokho, uNkulunkulu akadileyi, uyabekezela. UNkulunkulu akafuni noma ubani afe noma ezwe isahlulelo sakhe. Ukubambezela kukaNkulunkulu isikhathi eside akubona ubufakazi bokuthi akanandaba nathi, kodwa kuwubufakazi bokuthi unesihe kubantu abathatha isikhathi eside ukuphenduka. Ukubambezeleka kukaNkulunkulu empeleni kuwukubekezela kwakhe. Futhi kulabo abangabazayo isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu, ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu kuwukuphela kwethemba lethu lensindiso.

Siyazi ukuthi uJesu uyeza maduze. Ngalolo suku ububi nesono kuyakuncibilika, kuphele nya. Ngokushesha konke okuzosala yilokho okuhle nokulungile. Kufanele siphile njengobuhle baphakade ngoba buyeza maduze. Kufanele siphile ukuphila obunophawu lobulungiswa nokuziphatha okuhle okuyohlala phakade. Kufanele siqaphele abafundisi abasenza singabaze isahlulelo sikaJesu esizayo noma ukucaca kwemiyalo yakhe yokuziphatha. UNkulunkulu unendaba nendlela esiphila ngayo. Futhi kulabo abazi ukuthi uJesu uyeza maduze, siyazi futhi ukuthi ngeke kube usuku lokwahlulela kithi, kodwa lwethemba.

UNkulunkulu uyeza, hhayi nje ukuzokwahlulela kodwa ukuzomisa izwe elisha lokulunga, eliphelele ngokuziphatha, nokuthula. UNkulunkulu usibekezelele ngesineke, hhayi ngoba engenandaba kodwa ngoba ufuna wonke umuntu aphenduke. UNkulunkulu ufisa ukuba bonke abantu bangene ezweni lakhe elisha lapho bungekho khona ububi nokuhlukumezeka okubangelwa izinkanuko zabanye. UNkulunkulu uyeza “ngokushesha” ukuze bonke ababhekana nobunzima bobugqila besonobabize kuye baphenduke futhi bathole inkululeko endaweni ezayo eyenziwe yaba yinhle.

UNkulunkulu wenze futhi wahlulela kanye ngaphambili, futhi uyokwahlulela futhi enze okusha futhi. Ungakuthathi kancane ukwenza kancane kukaNkulunkulu emlandweni wesintu njengokungathandi. Bala ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu njengensindiso. Bala ukubambezeleka kukaNkulunkulu kwamanje njengesimemo sabo bonke abantu. KunoMbuso waphakade ozayo womusa, amandla, ukulunga, nobuhle. Luyeza usuku lapho sizokhululwa khona sonke ekungalungini nasebubini esibenza kwabanye. Futhi lolo suku luyeza maduze kubo bonke abalubheke ngabomvu.

Sengathi uMoya oNgcwele uvule amehlo akho ukuze ubone uNkulunkulu owenze futhi wahlulela umhlaba. Futhi kwangathi ungabona uJesu njengalowo ozayo ezokwahlulela ububi futhi amise umhlaba omusha wokulunga kubo bonke abantu.
