Lithini ibhayibheli ukuthi singabona futhi sibabone esibathandayo ezulwini? Ngenkathi indodana kaDavid esanda kufa yafa ngesono sikaDavid noBat-Seba, ngemuva kwenkathi yokulila kwakhe, uDavid wababaza: “Ngingakwazi yini ukuyibuyisa? Ngizoya kuye, kepha ngeke abuyele kimi! " (2 Samuweli 12:23). UDavid wayithatha kancane ukuthi wayezokwazi ukubona indodana yakhe ezulwini, yize ayeshonile eseyingane. Ibhayibheli lithi uma sifika ezulwini, "sizofana naye, ngoba sizombona njengoba enjalo" (1 Johane 3: 2). Eyoku-1 Korinte 15: 42-44 ichaza imizimba yethu evusiwe: “Kunjalo futhi ngovuko lwabafileyo. Umzimba uhlwanyelwa ukonakala futhi uvuka ungonakali; Kuhlwanyelwa kungenanhlonipho futhi kuvusa inkazimulo; Kuhlwanyelwa kubuthakathaka kukhuliswe kunamandla; Kuhlwanyelwa kungumzimba wemvelo futhi kuvuswa kungumzimba wokomoya. Uma kunomzimba wemvelo, kukhona nomzimba ongokomoya. "

[…] Eqinisweni, lokhu okubolayo kumele kwembathe ukungonakali futhi lokhu okufayo kumele kwembathe ukungafi ”(1 KwabaseKhorinte 15:49, 53). Abantu abaningi bambona uJesu ngemuva kokuvuka kwakhe (NgokukaJohane 20: 16, 20; 21: 12; 1 KwabaseKhorinte 15: 4-7). Ngakho-ke, uma uJesu abonakala emzimbeni wakhe ovusiwe, angisiboni isizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi ngeke kube njalo kithi. Ukukwazi ukubona abathandekayo bethu kuyisici esikhazimulayo sezulu, kepha okwedlule kuthinta kakhulu uNkulunkulu futhi kube nezifiso zethu ezingatheni. Kujabulisa kakhulu ukuhlangana nabantu esibathandayo futhi, kanye nabo, sikhonze uNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade!
