Incwadi yamaHeberu ithi sinehange, ithemba eliqinisekile lensindiso ngoJesu Kristu: “Manje akunakwenzeka ngoNkulunkulu ukuba aqambe amanga, kodwa lapha uzenze wazinikela ngokuphindiwe—ngesithembiso nangezifungo, kokubili okungenakuphikiswa. Lesi yisikhuthazo esinamandla ngathi ukuba senze konke esingakwenza ukuze sifinyelele umgomo wethemba lethu elingaphambili. Lelithemba liyisiphephelo sethu; liyihange eliqinisekileyo neliqinile ezimpilweni zethu, lisihlanganisa endaweni engaphakathi impela yendlu engcwele yasezulwini, endaweni emva kwesihenqo.” 6,18-19 New Geneva translation).

Unehange lempilo elizokunikeza uzinzo nokuvikeleka uma impilo yakho ishayeka kanzima.
UJesu wafundisa okufanayo eNtshumayelweni YaseNtabeni: “Ngakho-ke noma ubani owezwayo amazwi ami awenze ufana nendoda ehlakaniphile eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwesisekelo esinamadwala. Khona-ke, lapho kuqubuka amafu futhi amanzi amaningi egeleza, futhi lapho isiphepho sihlasela futhi siphahlaza indlu ngamandla aphelele, ayiwi; wakhiwe phezu kwamadwala. Kepha yilowo nalowo owezwa amazwi ami angawenzi ufana nendoda eyisiwula eyakha indlu yayo emhlabathini oyisihlabathi. Khona-ke lapho kuba nemvula, futhi amanzi amaningi angena egijima, futhi lapho isiphepho sinamandla futhi sishaya indlu ngamandla, iyawa futhi ibhujiswe ngokuphelele.” (Math. 7,24-27 New Geneva translation).
UJesu uchaza amaqembu amabili abantu lapha: Labo abamlandelayo, lalabo abangamlandeliyo. Bobabili bakha izindlu ezibukeka kahle futhi bangagcina izimpilo zabo zihlelekile. Amanzi aphakeme namagagasi amakhulu ashayisana nedwala (uJesu) futhi awakwazi ukulimaza indlu. Ukulalela uJesu akuvimbi imvula, amanzi nomoya, kuvimbela ukuwa ngokuphelele. Lapho izivunguvungu zempilo zikushaya, udinga isisekelo esiqinile sokuzinzisa kwakho.
UJesu useluleka ngokuthi singagcini nje ukwakha izimpilo zethu ngokuzwa amazwi akhe, kodwa siwasebenzise. Sidinga okungaphezu kwegama likaJesu. Sidinga ukuzimisela ukwenza lokho akushoyo. Kufanele sithembele kuJesu ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke futhi siphile ngokukholwa kuye. UJesu ukunika ukukhetha. Uthi kuzokwenzekani uma ungamthembi. Ukuziphatha kwakho kukhombisa ukuthi uyamkholwa futhi uyamethemba.
