Ngakhale kuti mbuye wake anamukhululukira ngongole yaikulu, iye analephera kukhululukira kapolo mnzake ngongole yaing’ono. (Mat. 18:23-35) Ngati munasemphana maganizo ndi munthu wina mumpingo, kodi mungayambepo kukhazikitsa mtendere isanafike nthawi ya Chikumbutso? (Mat. 5:23, 24) Kuchita zimenezo kungasonyeze kuti mumakonda kwambiri Yehova ndi Yesu.

Koma Baibulo limatiuza kuti Yesu atafa, pamapeto pake Yosefe “anapita kwa Pilato molimba mtima kukapempha mtembo wa Yesu.” (Maliko 15:42, 43) Apa Yosefe sanadzibisenso kuti anali wophunzira wa Yesu.
