ULouis Washkansky, 53, ubengumuntu wokuqala emhlabeni ukuhlala nenhliziyo eyinqaba esifubeni sakhe. Wahlinzwa amahora ambalwa nguChristiaan Barnard kanye nethimba labahlinzeki abangu-30. Ngobusuku buka- 2. Ngo-December 1967, 25, umthengisi wasebhange oneminyaka engu-6.13 u-Denise Ann Darvall wayiswa esibhedlela. Wayelimale kabi ebuchosheni ngemva kwengozi embi yomgwaqo.

Iqiniso elinonya lemvelo yethu enesono ukuthi kungagcina kuphela ngokufa komoya. Umprofethi uJeremiya ukusho ngokucacile: “Inhliziyo ilukhuni nenhliziyo ebuhlungu; ngubani ongakuqonda na?" (UJeremiya 17,9).

Uma kubhekwa iqiniso ‘lesimo senhliziyo yethu engokomoya,’ kungase kube nzima ukuba nethemba. Ngokwethu, ithuba lokusinda liqanda. Ngokumangalisayo, uJesu usinika okuwukuphela kwethuba esingaba khona empilweni kamoya.

Kuyinhliziyo yendodana yakhe uJesu Kristu. Umphostoli uPawulu ubhekisela kulesi sipho sikaKristu esinikezwe ngesihle njengokuvuselelwa kwesimo sethu sobuntu, ukuguqulwa komoya wethu, nokukhululwa kwentando yethu. Ngalokhu kukhululwa okuhlanganisa konke, sinikezwa ithuba elimangalisayo lokushintsha inhliziyo yethu endala, efile ngenhliziyo Yakhe entsha, enempilo. Inhliziyo egcwele uthando lwakhe nokuphila kwakhe okuphakade. UPawulu uyachaza: “Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi umuntu wethu omdala wabethelwa kanye naye ukuze umzimba wesono ubhujiswe, singabe sisakhonza isono. Ngokuba owafayo ukhululiwe esonweni. Kodwa uma safa kanye noKristu, siyakholwa ukuthi siyophila futhi kanye naye.” ( Roma 6,6-enye).

UNkulunkulu wenze ukushintshana okumangalisayo ngoJesu ukuze ube nempilo entsha Kuye, ube nobudlelwane Naye, futhi ube nokuhlanganyela noBaba ngoMoya oNgcwele.
