JOHANNE 13

Taelo e ntjha

31Ha Judase a se a tswile, Jesu a re: “Jwale Mora Motho o tlotlisitswe, mme Modimo o tlotlisitswe ka yena. 32Ha Modimo a tlotlisitswe ka yena, Modimo le yena o tla tlotlisa Mora Motho, mme o tla mo tlotlisa kapelepele.

33“Bana ba ka, ke sa tla ba le lona ka nakwana; le tla mpatla, mme jwalokaha ke ile ka bolella Bajuda, ka re: ‘Moo ke yang teng, le ke ke la tla,’ le ho lona ke rialo jwale.

34“Ke le nea taelo e ntjha, ya hore le ratane; jwalokaha ke le ratile, le lona le ratane. 35Bohle ba tla tseba ka hona hore le barutuwa ba ka, ha le ratana.”

Tatolo ya Petrose e a bolelwa

36Simone Petrose a re ho yena: “Morena, o ya kae?”

Jesu a araba, a re: “Moo ke yang teng o ke ke wa ntatela hajwale, feela o tla ntatela hamorao.”

37Petrose a re ho yena: “Morena, ke ka baka lang nke keng ka o latela hajwale? Ke tla o tella bophelo ba ka!”

JOHANNE 13:31-37SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

If we truly love ourselves, God and one another and dwell in the love given us, life will be meaningful. If we dwell in places where love is not, we will find life meaningless and we will continue to struggle.  When we experience meaninglessness, take time to see where the Source of Love is and dwell in God’s tender care. Begin with loving yourself and the meaning  of God’s love for you will become clear as will God’s love that will enable you to find meaning once more.
