Ithemba kunye novuyo ngamandla okunyamezela kwethu
« Kodwa xa ziqala ukwenzeka ezi zinto, yimani nkqo niphakamise iintloko zenu, kuba seniza kusindiswa »
(Luka 21:28)
Emva kokuchaza iziganeko yoyikeka ngaphambi kokuphela kwale nkqubo yezinto, elona xesha linzima siphila kulo, uYesu Kristu waxelela abafundi bakhe ukuba ‘baphakamise iintloko zabo’ kuba inzaliseko yethemba lethu yayiza kusondela.
Indlela yokugcina uvuyo phezu kwazo nje iingxaki zobuqu? Umpostile uPawulos wabhala wathi simele silandele umzekelo kaYesu Kristu: “Ngoko ke, ekubeni sinelifu elikhulu kangaka lamangqina elisingqongileyo, masilahle zonke izinto ezisisindayo nesono esisirhintyela lula, yaye masilubaleke sinyamezele ugqatso olubekwe phambi kwethu, njengokuba sijonge ngqo kuMmeli Oyintloko noMphelelisi wokholo lwethu, uYesu. Ngenxa yovuyo olwalubekwe phambi kwakhe wasinyamezela isibonda sokungcungcutheka, engakukhathalelanga ukuhlazeka, waza wahlala ngasekunene kwetrone kaThixo. Cingisisani ngalowo uye wanyamezela amazwi enkohlakalo anjalo athethwa ngaboni bezenzakalisa, ukuze ningadinwa nize ninikezele” (Hebhere 12:1-3).
UYesu Kristu waba namandla phezu kweengxaki ngenxa yovuyo lwethemba elalibekwe phambi kwakhe. Kubalulekile ukuba sibe novuyo ngethemba lokuphembelela unyamezelo lwethu. Ngokuphathelele iingxaki zethu, uYesu Kristu wathi kufuneka sizisombulule imihla ngemihla: “Yiloo nto ndisithi kuni: Yekani ukuxhalela ubomi benu, ukuba niza kutya ntoni, nisele ntoni; okanye nixhalele imizimba yenu, ukuba niza kunxiba ntoni. Abubalulekanga ngaphezu kokutya na ubomi, nomzimba ngaphezu kwempahla? Bukelani iintaka; azityali mbewu, azivuni ibe aziqokeleli kutya koovimba, kodwa zondliwa nguTata wenu osemazulwini. Anibalulekanga ngaphezu kwazo na nina? Ngubani kuni onokuthi ngokuba nexhala ongeze nomzuzu lo omnye kubomi bakhe? Ngoku kutheni nina ninexhala lokuba niza kunxiba ntoni? Fundani isifundo kwindlela ezikhula ngayo iintyatyambo zasendle; azisebenzi nzima, zingazithungeli nampahla; kodwa ndithi kuni, kwaneempahla ezimbeje-mbeje zikaSolomon zazingazogqithi ngobuhle. Ngoko ke, ukuba uThixo uzinxibisa ngaloo ndlela izityalo zasendle, ezibakho namhlanje zize ziphoswe eziko ngengomso, akazukuninxibisa bhetele na nina, nina ninokholo oluncinci? Ngoko ningaze nibe nexhala, nithi, ‘Siza kutya ntoni?’ okanye, ‘Siza kusela ntoni?’ okanye, ‘Siza kunxiba ntoni? Kuba ezi zizinto iintlanga ezileqana nazo. Ke yena uTata wenu osemazulwini uyazi ukuba niyazidinga zonke ezi zinto » (Mateyu 6:25-32).Umgaqo ulula, simele sisebenzise eli xesha langoku ukucombulula iingxaki zethu ezivelayo, sibeka ithemba lethu kuThixo, ukuze asincede sifumane isicombululo: “Qhubekani, ke ngoko, nifuna kuqala uBukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, yaye zonke ezinye izinto ziza kongezelelwa kuni. Ngoko ke, ningaze nixhalele ingomso, kuba ingomso liza kuba namaxhala alo. Usuku ngalunye luneengxaki ezilulingeneyo » ( Mateyu 6:33,34). Ukusebenzisa lo mgaqo kuya kusinceda ukuba siwalawule kakuhle amandla engqondo okanye angokweemvakalelo ukuze sihlangabezane neengxaki zethu zemihla ngemihla. UYesu Kristu wathi masingaxhalabi ngokugqithisileyo, nto leyo enokubhidanisa iingqondo zethu ize iwasuse onke amandla omoya kuthi (Thelekisa uMarko 4:18, 19).
Ukuze sibuyele kukhuthazo olubhalwe kumaHebhere 12:1-3 , simele sisebenzise amandla ethu engqondo ukuze sikhangele kwikamva ngovuyo nethemba, eliyinxalenye yesiqhamo somoya oyingcwele: “Kwelinye icala isiqhamo somoya luthando, uvuyo, uxolo, umonde, ububele, ukulunga, ukholo, ukululama nokukwazi ukuzibamba. Akukho mthetho othi mazingenziwa ezi zinto” (Galati 5:22,23). EBhayibhileni kubhalwe ukuba uYehova nguThixo owonwabileyo nokuba umKristu ushumayela “iindaba ezilungileyo zoThixo onoyolo » (1 Timoti 1:11). Ngoxa eli hlabathi lisebumnyameni bokomoya, simele sigxininise ekukhanyeni ngeendaba ezilungileyo esizivakalisayo, kodwa nangovuyo lwethemba esifuna ukulivakalisa kwabanye: “Nisisibane sabantu bonke abasemhlabeni. Isixeko esiphezu kwentaba asinakufihleka. Xa abantu belayita isibane abasibeki phantsi kwebhaskithi, kodwa basixhoma endaweni yaso, size sikhanyisele wonke umntu osendlini. Nani ke, makubonakale ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze bayibone imisebenzi yenu emihle baze bamzukise uTata wenu osemazulwini” (Mateyu 5:14-16). Le vidiyo ilandelayo kunye nenqaku, elisekelwe kwithemba lobomi obungunaphakade, ziye zaphuhliswa ngale njongo yovuyo lwethemba: “Vuyani kakhulu, kuba ninomvuzo omkhulu emazulwini; kaloku babatshutshisa ngaloo ndlela nabaprofeti ababengaphambi kwenu” (Mateyu 5:12). Masenze uvuyo lukaYehova igwiba lethu: “ Musani ukuba nosizi, kuba uvuyo lukaYehova ligwiba lenu ” (Nehemiya 8:10).
Ubomi obungunaphakade kumhlaba oyiparadesi
« ibe niza konwaba kakhulu » (Duteronomi 16:15)
Ubomi banaphakade ngokukhululwa
koluntu kubukhoboka besono
“Kuba uThixo walithanda kakhulu ihlabathi kangangokuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe ekuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze wonke umntu ozikholelwayo izinto azifundisayo aze azenze, angatshabalali, kodwa afumane ubomi obungunaphakade. (…) Lowo uzikholelwayo izinto azifundisayo uNyana kaThixo aze azenze, uza kufumana ubomi obungunaphakade; kodwa lowo ungamthobeliyo uNyana kaThixo, akazukubufumana, ibe uza kuhlala ewuva umsindo kaThixo »
(Yohane 3:16,36)
UYesu Krestu, xa wayesemhlabeni, wayehlala efundisa ngethemba lobomi banaphakade. Nangona kunjalo, wafundisa nokuba ubomi banaphakade buza kufunyanwa kuphela ngokholo kwidini likaYesu (Yohane 3:16,36). Idini likaKristu liya kuvumela ukuphiliswa kunye novuko.
Inkululeko ngenxa yeentsikelelo zedini likaKristu
« Kuba noNyana womntu akezanga ukuze asetyenzelwe, kodwa uzele ukuba ibe nguye osebenzayo, aze anikele ngobomi bakhe ukuze kuhlawulelwe abaninzi »
(Mat. 20:28)
« Emva kokuba uYobhi ebathandazele abahlobo bakhe, uYehova wayiphelisa intlungu yakhe, waza wambuyisela bonke ubutyebi bakhe. UYehova wabuphinda kabini ubutyebi bakhe » (Yobhi 42:10). Kuya kuba njalo kuwo onke amalungu esi sihlwele sikhulu abaza kusinda kwiMbandezelo enkulu, uYehova uThixo, esebenzisa uKumkani uYesu Kristu, uya kubasikelela: « Kaloku bonwabile abo baye banyamezela. Neva ngendlela uYobhi awanyamezela ngayo, nayibona nendlela uYehova awamsikelela ngayo, nendlela uYehova anovelwano* nenceba ngayo » (Yakobi 5:11).
Idini likaKrestu livumela uxolelo, uvuko, ukuphiliswa kunye nokuphinda wenzwe.
Umbingelelo kaKristu oya kuphilisa abantu
« Akakho umhlali wakhona oza kuthi: “Ndiyagula.” Abantu baloo ndawo baza kuzixolelwa iziphoso zabo » (Isaya 33:24).
“Ngelo xesha aza kuvulwa amehlo abantu abangaboniyo, Zivulwe neendlebe zabantu abangevayo. Ngelo xesha umntu oqhwalelayo uza kutsiba njengempunzi, Nolwimi lomntu ongakwaziyo ukuthetha luza kukhwaza ngovuyo. Kuba nentlango iza kumpompoza amanzi, Kubekho imisinga yamanzi entlango” (Isaya 35:5,6).
Idini likaKristu liya kuvumela ukuba mncinci kwakhona
« Umzimba wakhe mawube mtsha kunasebuntwaneni bakhe; Makabuyele emandleni obutsha bakhe » (Yobhi 33:25).
Idini likaKristu liya kuvumela ukuvuswa kwaba
« Abantu abaninzi kwabo bafayo baza kuvuka » (Daniyeli 12:2).
« Ndinethemba, phofu abanalo naba bantu, lokuba uThixo uza kuvusa abantu abangamalungisa nabangengomalungisa » (Izenzo 24:15).
» Sanukumangaliswa yile nto, kuba kuza ixesha apho bonke abasemangcwabeni beza kuliva ilizwi lakhe, baze bavuke. Abo benza izinto ezilungileyo baza kuvukela ebomini, baze abo benza izinto ezimbi, bavukele ukugwetywa” (Yohane 5:28,29).
« Ndabona itrone enkulu emhlophe naLowo wayehleli kuyo. Umhlaba nezulu zabaleka zemka phambi kwakhe, yaye zange ziphinde zifunyanwe ndawo. Ndabona nabantu abafileyo, abakhulu nabancinci, bemi phambi kwetrone, nemisongo yayivuliwe. Kodwa kwavulwa omnye umsongo, umsongo wobomi. Abo bantu babefile bagwetywa ngokwezinto ezibhalwe kuloo misongo, ngokwezenzo zabo. Ulwandle lwabakhupha kulo abantu ababefile, nako ukufa nengcwaba* kwabakhupha abantu ababefile, waza umntu ngamnye wagwetywa ngokwezenzo zakhe” (ISityhilelo 20:11-13).
Abantu abavusiweyo abangalunganga, baya kugwetywa ngesenzo sezenzo zabo ezilungileyo okanye ezimbi, kwiparadesi yexesha elizayo.
Idini likaKristu liya kuvumela isihlwele esikhulu ukuba sisinde kwimbandezelo enkulu kwaye sibe nobomi banaphakade ngaphandle kokufa
« Emva koko, jonga! ndabona naso isihlwele esikhulu sabantu, ekungekho mntu wakwaziyo ukusibala, siphuma kuzo zonke iintlanga nezizwe nezizwana neelwimi, simi phambi kwetrone naphambi kweMvana, sinxibe iimpahla ezimhlophe, yaye siphethe amasebe omthi wesundu. Sasiqhubeka sikhwaza sisithi: “Sisindiswe nguThixo wethu, ohleli etroneni, nayiMvana.”
Zonke iingelosi zazimile zijikeleze itrone nabadala+ nezidalwa eziphilayo ezine, bonke baguqa phambi kwetrone bejongise ubuso emhlabeni, bakhonza uThixo, besithi: “Amen! Umele udunyiswe Thixo wethu kuba uzukile, unobulumko, unamandla yaye womelele. Kwakhona umele ubulelwe, unikwe imbeko ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen.”
Emva koko omnye wabadala wathi kum: “Ngoobani aba banxibe iimpahla ezimhlophe+ yaye bavela phi?” Ngoko nangoko ndathi kuye: “Nkosi yam nguwe owaziyo.” Yena wathi kum: “Aba bantu baphuma kwixesha lentlungu engathethekiyo,baye bazihlamba iimpahla zabo zamhlophe egazini leMvana. Yiloo nto bephambi kwetrone kaThixo, besenza umsebenzi wakhe ongcwele imini nobusuku, etempileni yakhe, yaye Lowo uhleli etroneni uza kuyolulela phezu kwabo intente yakhe. Soze baphinde balambe okanye banxanwe, nelanga soze liphinde libagqatse okanye beve ubushushu obutshisayo, kuba iMvana engakwitrone iza kubakhathalela njengomalusi, ibase kwimithombo enamanzi obomi. Yaye uThixo uza kuzosula zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo » (ISityhilelo 7:9-17).
Ubukumkani bukaThixo buza kulawula umhlaba
« Ndabona izulu elitsha nomhlaba omtsha, kuba izulu langaphambili nomhlaba zazingasekho, nolwandle lungasekho. Ndabona nesixeko esingcwele, iYerusalem Entsha, sisihla siphuma ezulwini kuThixo yaye silungisiwe njengomtshakazi ehombele umyeni wakhe. Ndeva ilizwi elikhulu livela etroneni lisithi: “Jonga! Intente kaThixo iphakathi kwabantu. Uza kuhlala nabo, babe ngabantu bakhe, yaye uThixo uza kuba kunye nabo. Uza kuzosula zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo, kungabi sabakho kufa, kungabi sabakho kuzila nakukhala nantlungu. Izinto zangaphambili azisekho” » (ISityhilelo 21:1-4).
« Yaye imbewu oyityalileyo emhlabeni uza kuyinika imvula, nokutya okuveliswa ngumhlaba kuza kuba kuninzi yaye kutyebe. Ngaloo mini imfuyo yakho iza kutya kumadlelo athe tyaba » (IiNdumiso 32:11)
Amalungisa aya kudla ubomi ngonaphakade, kodwa abakhohlakeleyo baya kutshabalala
« Bonwabile abo balulamileyo, kuba umhlaba uza kuba lilifa labo » (Mateyu 5:5).
« Sekusele ithutyana, bangabikho abenzi-bubi; Xa ujonga apho bebekho, Baza kube bengasekho. Kodwa umhlaba uza kuba ngowabalulamileyo, Ibe baza kuphila kamnandi kukho uxolo oluninzi. Umntu ongcolileyo ulenzela amayelenqe ilungisa, Yaye ulitshixizela amazinyo. Kodwa uYehova uza kumhleka, Kuba uyazi ukuba iyeza imini yakhe. Abenzi-bubi bakhupha amakrele abo baze bagobe izaphetha zabo, Ukuze bawise abacinezelekileyo namahlwempu, Baxhaxhe amalungisa. Kodwa amakrele abo aza kuhlaba kwezabo iintliziyo; Izaphetha zabo ziza kwaphuka. (…) Kuba ziza kwaphulwa iingalo zabantu abenza izinto ezimbi, Kodwa uYehova uza kuwaxhasa amalungisa. (….) Kodwa abenza izinto ezimbi baza kutshabalala; Iintshaba zikaYehova ziza kunyamalala okwamadlelo aluhlaza; Ziza kuthi shwaka okomsi. (…) Umhlaba uza kuba ngowamalungisa, Ibe aza kuhlala kuwo ngonaphakade. (…) Thembela ngoYehova uze uhambe endleleni yakhe, Ibe yena uza kukuphakamisa ukuze umhlaba ube ngowakho. Xa abenzi-bubi betshatyalaliswa, uza kubabona. (…) Uze umqaphele ongenakusoleka, Uhlale umjongile umntu olilungisa, Kuba uza kuhlala eseluxolweni. Kodwa bonke abenza izinto ezingalunganga baza kutshatyalaliswa; Abenzi-bubi baza kupheliswa. NguYehova osindisa amalungisa; Uyinqaba yawo ngexesha lobunzima. UYehova uza kuwanceda awasindise. Uza kuwasindisa kubantu abenza izinto ezimbi, Kuba abalekela kuye » (IiNdumiso 37:10-15, 17, 20, 29, 34, 37-40).
« Ngoko ke, landela indlela yabantu abalungileyo Uze uhlale endleleni yamalungisa, Kuba ngabalungileyo kuphela abaza kuhlala emhlabeni, Ibe ngabo bamsulwa abaza kushiyeka kuwo. Ke bona abenzi-bubi baza kususwa emhlabeni, Nabantu abanamaqhinga baza kuncothulwa kuwo. (…) Iintsikelelo zikwintloko yelungisa, Kodwa umlomo womenzi-bubi, ufihla ubundlobongela. Igama elihle lelungisa liza kufumana intsikelelo, Kodwa igama labenzi-bubi liza kubola » (IMizekeliso 2:20-22; 10:6,7).
Iimfazwe ziya kuyeka kuya kubakho uxolo ezintliziyweni nasemhlabeni wonke
« Niyazi ukuba kwathiwa: ‘Umele umthande ummelwane wakho, ulucaphukele utshaba lwakho.’ Kodwa mna ndithi kuni: Qhubekani nizithanda iintshaba zenu, nibathandazela nabo banitshutshisayo, ukuze kucace ukuba ningoonyana boTata osemazulwini, ekubeni elenza ilanga lakhe liphume kubantu abalungileyo nabangalunganga, nemvula eyinika amalungisa nabangengomalungisa. Kuba ukuba nithanda abo banithandayo, inceda ngantoni loo nto? Abenzi kwaloo nto na nabaqokeleli berhafu? Khona, ukuba nibulisa abazalwana benu kuphela, ningcono ngantoni kunabanye abantu? Abenzi kwaloo nto na nabantu beentlanga? Ngoko ke, nimele nigqibelele, kuba noTata wenu osemazulwini ugqibelele » (Mateyu 5:43-48).
« Ukuba niyabaxolela abantu izono zabo, noTata wenu osemazulwini uza kunixolela; kanti ukuba anibaxoleli, noTata wenu akazukunixolela » (Mateyu 6:14,15).
« UYesu wathi kuye: “Buyisela ikrele lakho endaweni yalo, kuba bonke abalwa ngekrele baza kufa kwangalo » » (Mateyu 26:52).
« Yizani nibone imisebenzi kaYehova, Indlela enze ngayo izinto ezimangalisayo emhlabeni. Uphelisa iimfazwe emhlabeni wonke. Waphula isaphetha aze awuthi qwatha umkhonto, Atshise neenqwelo zokulwa » (IiNdumiso 46:8,9).
« Uza kuzigweba iintlanga, Alungelelanise imicimbi phakathi kwezizwana ezininzi. Ziza kuwakhanda amakrele azo abe ngamakhuba Nemikhonto yazo ibe zizinto zokuthena imithi. Uhlanga aluzukuphakamisela uhlanga ikrele, Zingaphindi zifunde ukulwa imfazwe » (Isaya 2:4).
« Ekupheleni kwemihla, Intaba yendlu kaYehova Iza kuzinza ibe ngaphezu kweencopho zeentaba, Yaye iza kuphakanyiswa ngaphezu kweenduli, Zize izizwana zibe ngumsinga ukuya kuyo. Iintlanga ezininzi ziza kuhamba, zithi: “Yizani, sinyuke siye entabeni kaYehova Nasendlini kaThixo kaYakobi. Uza kusifundisa ngeendlela zakhe, Ibe siza kuhamba ezindleleni zakhe.” Kuba kuza kuphuma umthetho eZiyon, Nelizwi likaYehova eYerusalem. Uza kuwisa isigwebo phakathi kwezizwana ezininzi Aze alungelelanise imicimbi phakathi kweentlanga ezinamandla ezikude. Ziza kuwakhanda amakrele azo abe ngamakhuba Nemikhonto yazo ibe zizinto zokuthena imithi. Uhlanga aluzukuphakamisela uhlanga ikrele, Zingazukuphinda zifunde ukulwa imfazwe. Umntu ngamnye uza kuhlala phantsi komthi wakhe weediliya naphantsi komthi wakhe wamafiya, Kungabikho mntu uboyikisayo, Kuba umlomo kaYehova wemikhosi uthethile » (Mika 4:1-4).
Kuya kubakho ukutya okuninzi emhlabeni wonke
« Kuza kubakho intabalala yokutya okuziinkozo emhlabeni; Kuphuphume ezincochoyini zeentaba. Iziqhamo zakhe ziza kuqhama ngathi zezaseLebhanon, Nabantu ezixekweni baza kutyatyamba njengotyani » (IiNdumiso 72:16).
« Ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuyinika imvula imbewu yakho oyihlwayeleyo, kwaye, njengemveliso yomhlaba, isonka, esiya kutyetyiswa sityebile. Iinkomo zakho ziya kudla ngaloo mini kwidlelo elikhulu » (Isaya 30:23).
