Ukuphila okuphakade
Ithemba enjabulweni lingamandla okubekezela kwethu
“Kodwa njengoba lezi zinto ziqala ukwenzeka, yimani niqonde niphakamise amakhanda enu, ngoba ukukhululwa kwenu kuyasondela »
(Luka 21:28)
Ngemva kokuchaza izenzakalo ezimbi ngaphambi kokuphela kwalesi simiso sezinto, esikhathini esicindezela kakhulu esisiphila manje, uJesu Kristu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuba ‘baphakamise amakhanda abo’ ngoba ukugcwaliseka kwethemba lethu kwakuyoba eduze kakhulu.
Indlela yokugcina injabulo naphezu kwezinkinga zomuntu siqu? Umphostoli uPawulu wabhala ukuthi kumelwe silandele isibonelo sikaJesu Kristu: “Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuthi sinefu elikhulu kangaka lofakazi elisizungezile, nathi masilahle konke okusindayo nesono esisithandela kalula, futhi masiwugijime ngokukhuthazela lo mncintiswano obekwe phambi kwethu, njengoba sigxilise amehlo ethu kuMmeli Oyinhloko noMphelelisi wokholo lwethu, uJesu. Ngenxa yenjabulo eyayibekwe phambi kwakhe wakhuthazelela isigxobo sokuhlushwa, engenandaba nehlazo, futhi useye wahlala phansi ngakwesokudla sesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. Ngempela, cabangisisani ngalowo okhuthazelele inkulumo enjalo yezoni ephikisayo emelene nezinzuzo zazo siqu, ukuze ningakhathali niphele amandla“ (Heberu 12:1-3).
UJesu Kristu waba namandla lapho ebhekene nezinkinga ngenjabulo yethemba elalibekwe phambi kwakhe. Kubalulekile ukudonsa amandla ukuze sikhuthaze ukukhuthazela kwethu, ngokusebenzisa « injabulo » yethemba lethu lokuphila okuphakade elibekwe phambi kwethu. Uma kuziwa ezinkingeni zethu, uJesu Kristu wathi kufanele sizixazulule usuku nosuku: “Ngenxa yalokhu ngithi kini: Yekani ukukhathazeka ngokuphila kwenu ngokuqondene nokuthi niyodlani noma niyophuzani, noma ngemizimba yenu ngokuqondene nokuthi niyogqokani. Ukuphila akubalulekile yini ngaphezu kokudla, nomzimba ngaphezu kwezingubo? Bukisisani izinyoni zezulu; azihlwanyeli mbewu noma zivune noma zibuthele ezinqolobaneni, nokho uYihlo osezulwini uyazondla. Nina anibalulekile yini ngaphezu kwazo? Ubani kini ongathi ngokukhathazeka anezele ngisho nomzuzu owodwa esikhathini sakhe sokuphila? Kungani nikhathazeka ngezingubo zokugqoka? Fundani ezimbalini zasendle, indlela ezikhula ngayo; azikhandleki, aziphothi; kodwa ngithi kini ngisho noSolomoni enkazimulweni yakhe yonke wayengahlobile nanjengeyodwa yazo. Manje, uma uNkulunkulu ezigqokisa kanjalo izitshalo zasendle, ezikhona namuhla ngakusasa ziphonswe eziko, ngeke yini nina anigqokise nakakhulu, nina eninokholo oluncane? Ngakho ningalokothi nikhathazeke nithi, ‘Sizodlani?’ noma, ‘Sizophuzani?’ noma, ‘Sizogqokani?’ Ngoba konke lokhu kuyizinto izizwe ezizifuna ngokulangazela. UYihlo wasezulwini uyazi ukuthi niyazidinga zonke lezi zinto » (Mathewu 6:25-32). Isimiso silula, kumelwe sisebenzise isikhathi samanje ukuze sixazulule izinkinga zethu eziphakamayo, sibeka ithemba lethu kuNkulunkulu, ukuze asisize sithole ikhambi: “Ngakho, qhubekani nifuna kuqala uMbuso nokulunga kwakhe, khona-ke zonke lezi ezinye izinto ziyokwenezelwa kini. Ngakho, ningalokothi nikhathazeke ngosuku olulandelayo, ngoba usuku olulandelayo luyoba nezalo izinkathazo. Usuku ngalunye lunezalo izinkinga » (Mathewu 6:33,34). Ukusebenzisa lesi simiso kuzosisiza ukuba siwalawule kangcono amandla engqondo noma angokomzwelo ukuze sibhekane nezinkinga zethu zansuku zonke. UJesu Kristu wathi singazikhathazi ngokweqile, okungase kuphazamise izingqondo zethu futhi kusiphuce wonke amandla angokomoya (Qhathanisa noMarku 4:18,19).
Ukuze sibuyele esikhuthazweni esilotshwe kumaHeberu 12:1-3 , kumelwe sisebenzise amandla ethu engqondo ukuze sibheke esikhathini esizayo ngenjabulo nethemba, okuyingxenye yesithelo somoya ongcwele: “Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izithelo zomoya ziluthando, injabulo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, umusa, ubuhle, ukholo, ubumnene, ukuzithiba. Akukho mthetho omelene nezinto ezinjalo” (Galathiya 5:22;23). Kulotshwe eBhayibhelini ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu ojabulayo nokuthi umKristu ushumayela “izindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu ojabulayo.” (1 Thimothewu 1:11). Nakuba leli zwe lisebumnyameni obungokomoya, kumelwe sibe izikhungo zokukhanya ngezindaba ezinhle esizishumayelayo, kodwa futhi sibe ngenjabulo yethemba lethu esifuna ukulikhanyisa kwabanye: “Nina ningukukhanya kwezwe. Idolobha ngeke lifihleke uma lakhiwe entabeni. Abantu abasikhanyisi isibani basibeke ngaphansi kukabhasikidi kodwa basibeka othini lwesibani, sikhanyisele bonke abasendlini. Ngokufanayo, ukukhanya kwenu makukhanye phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihle bese benika uYihlo osemazulwini inkazimulo” (Mathewu 5:14-16). Ividiyo elandelayo kanye nesihloko, esisekelwe ethembeni lokuphila okuphakade, kuye kwathuthukiswa ngalomgomo wenjabulo enethemba: “Jabulani nithokoze ngoba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwini, ngoba babashushisa ngaleyo ndlela abaprofethi ngaphambi kwenu” (Mathewu 5:12). Masenze intokozo kaJehova ibe yinqaba yethu:“ Ningadabuki, ngokuba intokozo kaJehova iyinqaba yenu ”(Nehemiya 8:10).
Ukuphila okuphakade emhlabeni oyipharadesi
« kumelwe nijabule nje kuphela » (Duteronome 16:15)
Impilo yaphakade ngokukhululwa kwesintu ebugqilini besono
« Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke umuntu obonisa ukholo kuyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. (…) Obonisa ukholo eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kodwa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luhlezi phezu kwakhe »
(NgokukaJohane 3:16,36)
Lapho uJesu esemhlabeni, wayevame ukufundisa ithemba lokuphila okuphakade. Kodwa-ke, wabuye wafundisa ukuthi impilo yangaphakade izotholakala kuphela ngokukholwa emhlatshelweni kaKristu (NgokukaJohane 3:16,36). Umhlatshelo kaKristu uzovumela ukwelashwa kabusha futhi uvuko.
Izinzuzo Zomhlatshelo KaKristu
« Njengoba nje neNdodana yomuntu ingezelanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza nokunikela umphefumulo wayo ube yisihlengo sabaningi »
(Matewu 20:28)
« UJehova ngokwakhe wasinqanda isimo sobuthunjwa sikaJobe lapho ethandazela abangane bakhe, futhi uJehova waqala ukwenezela kukho konke okwakungokukaJobe, ngokuphindwe kabili » (Jobe 42:10). Kuzoba yinto efanayo kuwo wonke amalungu esixuku esikhulu ayobe esindile kusizi olukhulu, uJehova uNkulunkulu, ngeNkosi uJesu Kristu, ozobusisa: « Bhekani! Sithi bayajabula labo abaye bakhuthazela. Niye nezwa ngokukhuthazela kukaJobe futhi nabona umphumela uJehova awunikeza, ukuthi uJehova unothando futhi unesihe”.
Umhlatshelo kaKristu uvumela intethelelo, uvuko, ukuphulukiswa kanye nokuvuselelwa kabusha.
Umhlatshelo kaKhristu ozokwelapha isintu
« Akekho ohlala khona oyothi: “Ngiyagula.” Abantu abahlala ezweni kuyoba yilabo abaxolelwe isiphambeko sabo » (u-Isaya 33:24).
« Ngaleso sikhathi amehlo ezimpumputhe ayovulwa, nazo kanye izindlebe zabayizithulu ziyovulwa. Ngaleso sikhathi olunyonga uyoqombola njengendluzele, nolimi loyisimungulu luyokhamuluka ngokuthokoza. Ngoba kuyobe kuqhume amanzi ehlane, nezifufula ethafeni eliwugwadule” (u-Isaya 35:5,6).
Umhlatshelo kaKhristu uzokukwenza ube insizwa
noma ntokazi futhi
« Inyama yakhe mayibe ntsha kunasebusheni; Makabuyele ezinsukwini zobungqabavu bobusha bakhe » (Jobe 33:25).
Umhlatjelo kaKrestu uzokuvumela ukuvuswa kwabahlongakeleko
« Futhi kuyoba nabaningi balabo abalele othulini lomhlabathi abayovuka » (Daniyeli 12:2).
« futhi nginethemba kuNkulunkulu, okuyithemba nalaba bantu ngokwabo abanalo, lokuthi kuyoba khona uvuko lwabalungile nabangalungile » (Izenzo 24:15).
« Ningamangali ngalokhu, ngoba ihora liyeza lapho bonke abasemathuneni beyokhunjulwa futhi bayolizwa izwi layo baphume, abenze okuhle baphumele ovukweni lokuphila, ababenomkhuba wokwenza okubi ovukweni lokwahlulelwa” (NgokukaJohane 5:28,29).
« Ngabona isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe nalowo owayehlezi kuso. Umhlaba nezulu kwabaleka phambi kwakhe, indawo yako ayibange isatholakala. Ngabona abafileyo, abakhulu nabancane, bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, futhi imiqulu yavulwa. Kodwa nomunye umqulu wavulwa; umqulu wokuphila. Abafileyo bahlulelwa ngokwalezo zinto ezazilotshwe emiqulwini ngokwezenzo zabo. Ulwandle lwakhipha abafileyo ababekulo, nokufa neHayidesi kwakhipha abafileyo ababekukho, bahlulelwa ngamunye ngokwezenzo zabo” (Isambulo 20:11-13).
Abantu abavusiwe abangalungile, bayohlulelwa ngesisekelo sezenzo zabo ezinhle noma ezimbi, epharadesi lomhlaba elizayo.
Umhlatshelo kaKristu uzovumela isixuku esikhulu ukusinda osizini olukhulu futhi sibe nokuphila okuphakade ngaphandle kokufa
« Ngemva kwalezi zinto ngabona, bheka! isixuku esikhulu, okungekho muntu owakwazi ukusibala, siphuma kuzo zonke izizwe nezinhlanga nabantu nezilimi, simi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi naphambi kweWundlu, sigqoke izembatho ezimhlophe; kukhona amagatsha esundu ezandleni zaso. Saqhubeka simemeza ngezwi elikhulu, sithi: “Insindiso yethu ivela kuNkulunkulu wethu, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, nakulo iWundlu.”
Zonke izingelosi zazimi zizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi nabadala nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, futhi zawa ngobuso phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi zakhulekela uNkulunkulu, zithi: “Amen! Isibusiso nenkazimulo nokuhlakanipha nokubonga nodumo namandla makube kuNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen. »
Esabela kulokhu omunye kubadala wathi kimi: “Laba abagqoké izembatho ezimhlophe, bangobani futhi bavelephi?” Ngaso leso sikhathi ngathi kuye: “Nkosi yami, nguwe owaziyo.” Wathi kimi: “Laba yilabo abaphuma osizini olukhulu, abaye bahlanza izembatho zabo zaba mhlophe egazini leWundlu. Kungakho bephambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu; banikela inkonzo engcwele kuye imini nobusuku ethempelini lakhe; Lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi uyokwendlala itende lakhe phezu kwabo. Ngeke besalamba noma besoma, ilanga nanoma yikuphi ukushisa okuhangulayo ngeke kusabashisa, ngoba iWundlu, eliphakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, liyobelusa, futhi liyobaqondisa emithonjeni yamanzi okuphila. UNkulunkulu uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo.” » (Isambulo 7:9-17).
Umbuso kaNkulunkulu uzobusa umhlaba
« Ngabona futhi izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha; ngoba izulu langaphambili nomhlaba wangaphambili kudlulile, nolwandle alusekho. Ngabona nomuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema Elisha, wehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu futhi ulungisiwe njengomlobokazi ehlotshiselwe umyeni wakhe. Ngemva kwalokho ngezwa izwi elikhulu livela esihlalweni sobukhosi lithi: “Bheka! Itende likaNkulunkulu likanye nabantu, uyohlala nabo, babe ngabantu bakhe. UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uyoba nabo. Uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, ukufa ngeke kusaba khona, noma ukulila noma ukukhala noma ubuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona. Izinto zangaphambili zidlulile” » (Isambulo 21:1-4).
« Thokozani ngoJehova nijabule, nina enilungile; Nimemeze ngenjabulo, nonke nina eniqotho enhliziyweni » (AmaHubo 32:11)
Olungileyo uyophila ingunaphakade ababi bayobhubha
« Bayajabula abamnene ngoba bayodla ifa lomhlaba » (Mathewu 5:5).
« Sekusele isikhashana nje, ababi bazobe bengasekho; Uyoyibheka indawo yabo, Bayobe bengekho. Kodwa abamnene bayodla ifa lomhlaba, Bayothola injabulo enkulu ngenxa yokuthula okuchichimayo. Umuntu omubi wakhela olungile uzungu; Umgedlela amazinyo. Kodwa uJehova uyomhleka, Ngoba uyazi ukuthi usuku lwakhe luyeza. Ababi bahosha izinkemba zabo, bacibishela imicibisholo yabo Ukuze bawise abacindezelwe nabampofu, Ukuze babulale abaqotho endleleni yabo. Kodwa inkemba yabo iyogwaza inhliziyo yabo; Imicibisholo yabo iyophulwa. (…) Ngoba izingalo zababi ziyophulwa, Kodwa uJehova uyomsekela olungile. (…) Kodwa ababi bayoshabalala; Izitha zikaJehova ziyoshabalala njengamadlelo aluhlaza; Ziyonyamalala njengentuthu. (…) Abalungile bayodla ifa lomhlaba, Bahlale kuwo kuze kube phakade. (…) Themba uJehova, uhambe ngendlela yakhe, Uyokuphakamisa ukuba udle ifa lomhlaba. Uyobukela lapho ababi bebhujiswa. (…) Mqaphele ongasoleki, Ugcine oqotho ephambi kwamehlo akho, Ngoba ikusasa lalowo muntu liyoba nokuthula. Kodwa zonke izeqamthetho ziyobhujiswa; Abantu ababi ngeke babe nalo ikusasa. Insindiso yabalungile ivela kuJehova; Uyinqaba yabo ngesikhathi sokucindezeleka. UJehova uyobasiza abakhulule. Uyobakhulula kubantu ababi abasindise, Ngoba baphephela kuye » (AmaHubo 37:10-15, 17, 20, 29, 34, 37-40).
« Ngakho landela indlela yabantu abalungile Uhlale endleleni yabalungile. Ngoba ngabaqotho kuphela abayohlala emhlabeni, Abangasoleki abayosala kuwo. Ababi bayonqunywa emhlabeni, Abakhohlisayo bayosishulwa kuwo. (…) Izibusiso zisekhanda lolungile, Kodwa umlomo womubi ufihla ubudlova. Olungile uyokhunjulwa, kukhulunywe kahle ngaye, Kodwa igama lomubi liyobola » (IzAga 2:20-22; 10:6,7).
Izimpi ziyophela kuzoba nokuthula ezinhliziyweni
nasemhlabeni wonke
« Nizwile ukuthi kwathiwa: ‘Kumelwe uthande umakhelwane wakho futhi uzonde isitha sakho.’ Nokho, mina ngithi kini: Qhubekani nithanda izitha zenu, nithandazela nalabo abanishushisayo, ukuze nizibonakalise ningamadodana kaYihlo osemazulwini, njengoba yena enza ukuba ilanga lakhe liphumele abantu ababi nabahle futhi enza ukuba imvula ine phezu kwabalungile nabangalungile. Ngoba uma nithanda labo abanithandayo, ninamvuzo muni? Abaqoqi bentela abenzi yini nabo into efanayo? Kanti uma nibingelela abafowenu kuphela, nenza lukhulu luni? Abantu bezizwe abenzi yini nabo into efanayo? Ngakho kumelwe nibe ngabaphelele, njengoba noYihlo wasezulwini ephelele” (Mathewu 5:43-48).
« Ngoba uma nithethelela abantu amaphutha abo, noYihlo osezulwini uzonithethelela nani; kanti uma ningabathetheleli abantu amaphutha abo, noYihlo ngeke awathethelele amaphutha enu » (Mathewu 6:14,15).
« Khona-ke uJesu wathi kuye: “Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo, ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bayofa ngenkemba » »(Mathewu 26:52).
« Wozani nibone imisebenzi kaJehova, Ukuthi uzenze kanjani izinto ezimangalisayo emhlabeni. Uqeda izimpi emhlabeni wonke. Uphula umnsalo anqamule umkhonto ube yizicucu; Izinqola zempi uzishisa ngomlilo » (AmaHubo 46:8,9).
« Uyokhipha isahlulelo phakathi kwezizwe Alungise izindaba ngokuqondene nabantu bezizwe eziningi. Ziyokhanda izinkemba zazo zibe ngamageja Nemikhonto yazo ibe ngocelemba. Izizwe ngeke ziphakamiselane inkemba, Ngeke zisayifunda impi » (Isaya 2:4).
« Ezinsukwini zokugcina, Intaba yendlu kaJehova Iyomiswa iqine ibe ngaphezu kweziqongo zezintaba, Iyophakanyiswa ngaphezu kwamagquma, Izizwe ziyothutheleka kuyo. Izizwe eziningi ziyohamba zithi: “Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova Nasendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe. Uzosifundisa izindlela zakhe Sihambe ezindleleni zakhe.” Ngoba umthetho uyophuma eZiyoni, Nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema. Uyokhipha isahlulelo phakathi kwezizwe eziningi, Alungise izindaba ngokuqondene nezizwe ezinamandla ezikude. Ziyokhanda izinkemba zazo zibe amageja Nemikhonto yazo ibe ocelemba. Izizwe ngeke ziphakamiselane inkemba, Futhi ngeke zisayifunda impi. Bayohlala kube yilowo nalowo ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe samagilebhisi nangaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwane, Akekho oyobenza besabe, Ngoba umlomo kaJehova wamabutho ukhulumile » (Mika 4:1-4).
Kuyoba nenala yokudla emhlabeni wonke
« Kuyoba nenala yokudla okusanhlamvu emhlabeni; Kuyochichima phezu kwezintaba. Amasimu enkosi ayothela kakhulu njengaseLebhanoni, Nasemadolobheni abantu bayoba baningi njengotshani obusemhlabeni » (AmaHubo 72:16).
« Uyoletha imvula yokunisela imbewu yenu eniyihlwanyele emhlabathini, nesinkwa esikhiqizwa umhlabathi siyoba siningi sibe nomsoco. Ngalolo suku imfuyo yenu iyoklaba emadlelweni avulekile » (Isaya 30:23).
