Singabantu abanokufa, sidinga ingqiniseko kokweli xesha nethemba lokuzayo.
Njengoko kwabekwa kakuhle ngofunda ngoThixo uEmil Brunner, “Oko umongo-moya
ukuko kwimiphunga, linjalo ithemba ukunika intsingiselo kubomi bomntu. Susa umongomoya,
kubakho ukufa ngokufuthaniseleka, susa ithemba, uluntu LUFUTHANISELEKA
kukungabi namphefumlo; kungenelela ukuphelelwa
lithemba, kuchazeka ukudodobala kwengqondo
yokucinga namandla asemoyeni ngenxa yemvakalelo
yokungasebenzi kakuhle kwengqondo kwakunye
nokuphila ubomi ngaphandle kwenjongo ebhadlileyo.
Njengoko ukuphila kwento engumntu kuxhomekeke
kubukho bomongo-moya, kunjalo nokuphila kobuntu
ukuxhomekeka ekufumaneni kwabo ithemba.”—Emil
Brunner, Eternal Hope (London: Lutterworth Press,
1954), p. 7. Ngokwenene, ithemba elimile eBhayibhileni
liyasixhasa ngexesha kukho iintlekele esijongene nazo
kuhambo lwethu olusinga kunaphakade.
