NgokukaJohane 14

26Kepha uMduduzi, uMoya oNgcwele, uBaba ayakumthumela egameni lami uyakunifundisa konke, anikhumbuze konke enginitshele khona. 27Ukuthula ngikushiya kinina, ukuthula kwami nginipha khona. Akunjengokupha kwezwe ukunipha kwami. Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki, ingesabi.

NgokukaJohane 14:26-27ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

When Jesus says: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27), He is asking us to hear His voice. It is not about war or withdrawal from conflict to achieve peace. It is about engaging with the broken-hearted in the world. It is indeed about loving persuasion. It is about engaging with injustice.

It is about engaging with those who are invisible and need to be heard. It is about engaging with the ways of the world. Jesus is asking us to redesign a way to live peacefully.
