Bavandimwe Imana yaturemeye Ubuzima, Yezu Kristu yazanywe no kugira ngo tugire ubuzima busagambye (Jn 10, 10) adutsindira urupfu. Mwigira ubwoba muhumure mugire ukwizera (Mk 4, 40). Dukurikize amabwiriza tugume mu rugo, twirinde turinde n’abandi. Ntihagire uwicwa n’ inzara duhari, Dusangire icyo dufite. Mumenye ba Lazaro muturanye (Lk 16, 19-31) Imana irahari iraturinda tuyiragize cyane.
