Abanye abantu bafunda ubufakazi bomphostoli uPawulu lapha futhi bacabanga ukuthi buzwakala njengesifiso sokufa. Kungani esho kanje emhlabeni? Ukusho ngoba, naphezu kwazo zonke lezi zimo ezibuhlungu ekuphileni kwakhe, uNkulunkulu unenjongo ngakho. UNkulunkulu wakhuluma enhliziyweni kaPawulu wathi, “Umusa wami ukwanele.” 

UNkulunkulu wayethi zonke izikhathi ezinzima, bonke ubuthakathaka, isihlamba, isidingo, ukushushiswa, kanye nokucindezeleka kuyithuba Lakhe lokubonakalisa umusa owanele.

Kunezindaba empilweni, njengokuhlupheka uPawulu ayekubekezelela, uNkulunkulu kuphela ongakushintsha, futhi uma eshintsha, uyazi ukuthi wakwenza. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlupheka kuyindlela kaNkulunkulu yokubonisa umusa namandla akhe. Yamukela ubuthakathaka. 

Akekho obuthakathaka kakhulu ukuba abe namandla. Yamukela ukuhlupheka futhi ubone umusa namandla kaNkulunkulu kupheleliswe kukho.
