Inkha una otyitateka konthele yokunwa, okuti molityilika ovipuka vipondola okukulingisa okunwa unene? Inkha otyitateka tyove omahando omavi, okuti molityilika ovitalukiso ngetyi onosinema no internete novipuka ovikuavo vipondola okukukalesa nomalusoke omavi?

Mokonda Jesus wankhia, onthue tupondola okukala nomutima wasukuka iya otyo tyitukalesa nawa. (Hebreus 9:13, 14) Mokonda Omunene-nakwa wavilapo, Jesus “utyivila okuyovola aveho vana vekahi nokufuena ku Huku pokati kae, mokonda ukahiko pala okuveitilako.” (Hebreus 7:24, 25) Kohale, omunene-nakwa ankho una otyilinga tyokukuatesako ova Isilayeli okukala nonthumbi yokuti Jeova wevela ononkhali mbavo. Mokonda Jesus Omunene-nakwa wavilapo, onthue tuna vali onthumbi yokuti “makala nokankhenda nonthue, nokuvasa okankhenda tuahatokalele opo tuvatelwe momuvo tuesukisa.”—Hebreus 4:15, 16.

Otyilikutila tya Jesus otyiawa Jeova ekuavela!
