Ukwahlula imiqobo ekushumayeleni kwethu ngokwazisa uBawo kunye noSapho

Nangeminyaka emi-3 of yokushumayela, u-Yesu wayengekatyhileli yonke inyani kubafundi bakhe. Ngaba ikho into esinokuyifunda kulo msebenzi wethu wokushumayela?

UJohn 16: 12-13[1] Ndisenezinto ezininzi zokuthetha kuwe, kodwa awukwazi ukuzithwala ngoku. Kodwa ke, xa athe wafika yena, umoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke le nyaniso, kuba akasayi kuthetha ngawakhe, kodwa into ayivileyo uya kuyithetha, uya kukuxelela izinto ezizayo.. "

Wazibamba ezinye izinto, kuba wayesazi ukuba abalandeli bakhe abanakuziphatha ngelo xesha. Ngaba kwahlukile xa sishumayela kubazalwana bethu abangamaNgqina kaYehova (JW)? Le yinto abaninzi bethu kuhambo lwethu lokomoya lokufunda iBhayibhile abaye banamava kuyo. Ubulumko nokuqonda ziyaphuhliswa ngomonde, unyamezelo kunye nexesha.

Kwimbali, uYesu wafa wabuya waphila. Ekuvukeni kwakhe, wanika abafundi bakhe imiyalelo ngqo kuMateyu 28: 18-20 kunye neZenzo 1: 8.

“Wasondela uYesu wathetha kubo, esithi:“Lonke igunya ndilinikiwe ezulwini nasemhlabeni.  Hambani ke ngoko niye kubenza abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke, nibabhaptiza egameni loYise neloNyana nelomoya oyingcwele, nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endiniyalele zona. Kwaye khangela! Ndinani yonke imihla de kube sekuphelisweni kwenkqubo yezinto. "" (Mt 28: 18-20)

Kodwa uya kufumana amandla xa umoya oyingcwele uza phezu kwakho, kwaye niya kuba ngamangqina am eYerusalem, kuyo yonke iJudiya neSamariya, kude kuse nakwezona nxalenye zikude zomhlaba. ”(Ac 1: 8)

Ezi ndinyana zibonisa ukuba unamandla okuxhasa abakhonzi bakhe abasemhlabeni.

Umceli mngeni wethu kukwabelana ngeenyaniso ezisisiseko esizifumana ngokufunda ibhayibhile yobuqu, uphando kunye nokucamngca kwabo bakwiqela le-JW, ngelixa siphepha ukutyholwa ngokuwexuka kunye neziphumo ezinokubakho.

Enye indlela isenokuba kukubonisa ubungqina obucacileyo betyala lobulungu le-UN; ii-Royal Commission zase-Australia (i-ARC) izityholo ezothusayo; iingxaki yeNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha kunye nokunye. Ukanti, ngokufuthi le migca yobungqina icacileyo ibonakala yenza imiqobo engakumbi ezingqondweni zeeJW. Makhe ndikunike umzekelo wokuba le ndlela yam ibethe eludongeni lwezitena. Esi siganeko senzekile malunga ne-4 kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo.

Incoko kunye nomzalwana obuze impilo yam, ikhokelela kwimpazamo. Ndibonakalise ukungonwabi kwam malunga nokumanyelwa kwe-ArC. Ngosuku lwangaphambili lo mzalwana wayetyelele eBheteli eLondon. Ngexesha lesidlo sasemini, uye wadibana noMdala ovela kwisebe lase-Australia owachaza ukuba abawexuki babebangela iingxaki e-Australia kwaye i-ARC yayihlukumeza uMzalwana uGeoffrey Jackson. Ndambuza ukuba uyayazi na ukuba yintoni na indima kunye nomsebenzi we-ARC. Uthe hayi, ke ndinike imbonakalo emfutshane yeARC. Ndicacisile ukuba abawexuki abananto yakwenza nomsebenzi we-ARC, kwaye ukuba benze njalo, onke la maziko abekiweyo bahlaselwa nabawexuki. Ndambuza ukuba ubonile na kodwa ukuba uyifundile ingxelo. Impendulo nguhayi. Ndicebise ukuba ajonge iindibano ze abonwe ukuba ubaphatha kakuhle na ngobumnene uJackson, kwaye wakhankanya amanye amagqabantshintshi okuphakamisa iliso. Lo mzalwana wadinwa wakugqiba incoko esithi uYehova uza kuzilungisa zonke iingxaki njengoko le yintlangano yakhe.

Ndazibuza ukuba yintoni le imbi kangaka kwaye kutheni ndibethe udonga lwezitena. Ngokuqwalaselwa, ndiyakholelwa ukuba yayinxulumene negunya. Ndikhe ndabhabhayisa ubhuti ongavumiyo ukuba avulwe kwaye akukho zibhalo zisetyenzisiweyo.

Iingcebiso zeZalathiso eziGunyazisiweyo

Kubalulekile kweli nqanaba ukuzama nokuqonda ii-mindset zeJW kwaye nokuba injani imeko yokwamkela njengenyaniso. Kwiminyaka yam yokuba yiJW enenzondelelo, bendibuthanda ubulungiseleli (ndisayenza nangona ndingazibandakanyi namalungiselelo ebandla) kwaye bendisoloko ndinxulumana kunye nokubuk 'iindwendwe abazalwana. Uninzi lwabadala kunye nabahlanganisi endibaziyo kwiminyaka edlulileyo benza ulungiselelo oluninzi lweentlanganiso kwaye banokunika iimpendulo malunga neentlanganiso zaphakathi evekini. Nangona kunjalo, bambalwa kakhulu abonakalisa ukucamngca ngesicelo sakho. Ukuba kukho inqaku ababengaliqondi, ithala leencwadi iJW Library CD le-ROM iya kuba yiyo kuphela iminxeba yokuphanda. (Ungandivi kakubi, kukho into encinci endidibene nayo, abadala kunye nabahlanganisi, abenza uphando olunzulu ngaphandle kwale paramitha.)

Oku kuthetha ukuba ukubandakanya iiJWS 'ngokucinga', kufuneka sifunde kwiNkosi yethu uYesu. Makhe siqwalasele iingxelo ezimbini zeemfundiso zakhe. Eyokuqala nguMateyu 16: 13-17 kwaye enye kuMateyu 17: 24-27.

Masiqale UMateyu 16: 13-17

“Akufika kummandla waseKesareya Phi · lipʹpi, uYesu wabuza abafundi bakhe:“ Abantu bathi ungubani na uNyana woMntu? ”14 bathi:“ Abanye bathi nguYohane umbhaptizi, abanye uEliya. , abanye bathi, NguJeremiya okanye omnye wabaprofeti. ”15 Uthe ke kubo:“ Ke nina nithi ndingubani? ”UXOXX USimon Petros waphendula wathi:" Unguye uKrestu, unyana kaThixo ophilayo. " 16 Ekuphenduleni uYesu wathi kuye: “Unoyolo, Simon kaJona, ngenxa yokuba inyama negazi azikutyhilelanga oku, kodwa nguBawo osemazulwini ukwazile.” (Mt 17: 16-13)

Kwivesi ye-13 uYesu uphosa umbuzo. Lo mbuzo uvulekile kwaye ungakhethi cala. UYesu ubuza ngoko bakuvileyo. Ngokukhawuleza, sinokubeka umfanekiso wakhe wonke umntu ofuna ukwabelana, kwaye ke iimpendulo ezahlukeneyo kwindinyana 14. Oku kukwenza ukuba abantu bazibandakanye kwingxoxo njengokuba kulula kwaye kungathathi cala.

Emva koko sitshintshela kwiivesi 15. Nanku umbuzo ubandakanya ukujonga ubuqu. Umntu kufuneka acinge, aqiqe kwaye mhlawumbi athathe umngcipheko. Kwakukho ixesha lokuthula elingathi livakala ngathi lilungu. Inomdla kwivesi 16, uSimon Peter, emva kokuchitha iinyanga ze18 noYesu, ugqibile ukuba uYesu nguMesiya kunye noNyana kaThixo. Kwivesi ye-17, uYesu uncome uPeter ngengqondo yakhe yokomoya nokuba usikelelwe nguBawo.

Izifundo eziphambili zezi zilandelayo:

1. Zama ukubuza umbuzo ongathathi cala ukubandakanya abantu kwingxoxo.
2. Nje ukuba uthengisene, buza umbuzo ukuze ufumane umbono wakhe. Oku kubandakanya ukucinga nokuqiqa.
3. Okokugqibela, wonke umntu uthanda ukuncoma ngokunyanisekileyo okuthe ngqo kwaye kujolise kuko.

Ngoku makhe siqwalasele UMateyu 17: 24-27

“Emva kokuba befikile eKapernahum, amadoda aqokelela irhafu yeedrarhma ezimbini eza kuPetros aza athi:“ Ngaba utitshala wakho akabhatali irhafu yeedrarhma ezimbini? ”U25 wathi:“ Ewe. ”Kodwa, xa wangena endlwini , Kuqala uYesu wathetha naye wathi: “Ucinga ntoni, Simon? Ookumkani behlabathi bamkela kubaphi na irhafu okanye irhafu yentloko? Ngaba ngoonyana babo okanye kwabasemzini? ”26 Xa wathi:“ Kwabasemzini, ”uYesu wathi kuye:“ Ngokwenene, ke, oonyana abekho rhafu. 27 Kodwa ke ukuba singabakhubekisi, yiya elwandle, uphose intlanzi, uthabathe loo ntlanzi ithe yavela, wathi wakuvula umlomo, wakufumana ingqekembe yesilivere. Thatha leyo ubanike mna nawe. ”(Mt 17: 24-27)

Nanku umba yitempile yasetempileni. Onke ama-Israyeli ngaphezulu kweminyaka eyi-20 kulindeleke ukuba ahlawule irhafu yokugcinwa komnquba kwaye kamva kwitempile.[2] Siyambona uPetros efakwa phantsi koxinzelelo ngumbuzo wokuba inkosi yakhe, uYesu iyayihlawula okanye ayiyihlawulanga. UPeter uphendula 'ewe', kwaye uYesu uyakubona oku njengoko sibona kwindinyana 25. Ugqiba kwelokuba afundise uPetros kwaye acele iingcinga zakhe. Umnika eminye imibuzo emibini ngokukhetha iimpendulo ezimbini ezinokubakho. Impendulo icacile, njengoko kubonisiwe kwindinyana ye-26 apho uYesu akhankanya ukuba oonyana abahlawulelwa rhafu. KuMateyu 16: 13-17, UPeter uxele ukuba uYesu ngu Nyana kaThixo ophilayo. Itempile yekaThixo ophilayo kwaye ukuba uYesu nguNyana, ukhululiwe ekuhlawuleni oko. Kwivesi ye-27, uYesu uthi uya kuliphina eli lungelo, ukuze angakhubekisi.

Izifundo eziphambili zezi zilandelayo:

1. Sebenzisa imibuzo ebhalwe buqu.
2. Nika ukhetho lokunceda ekucingeni.
3. Yakha ulwazi lomntu lwangaphambili kunye nokubonisa.

Ndisebenzise le migaqo ilapha ngasentla kwiisethingi ezahlukeneyo kwaye andifumene mpendulo imbi ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Zimbini izihloko endihlala ndibelana ngazo kwaye iziphumo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ziye zaba ntle. Eminye imalunga nokuba uYehova abe nguBawo kwaye enye iphathelele “isiXuku esikhulu”. Ndiza kuqwalasela isihloko sikaBawo wethu kunye nokuba yinxalenye yosapho. Umxholo wesi 'siXuku siKhulu' uya kuxutyushwa kwinqaku elongezelelekileyo.

Buyintoni ubudlelwane bethu?

Xa abazalwana noodade bandityelelayo, babuza ukuba iintlanganiso zam azikho kusini na ngenxa yeengxaki zempilo yam okanye izinto zokomoya. Ndiqala ngokuchaza ukuba impilo idlale indima enkulu kodwa sinako nokufunda iBhayibhile. Bonwabile kakhulu ngeli nqanaba njengoko kubonakalisa ukuba ndinguye umntu onenzondelelo abasoloko bemazi umntu onomdla ngebhayibhile.

Njengoko wonke umntu ebonakala enesixhobo se-elektroniki, ndibacela ukuba bavule iBhayibhile kwi-JW Library App yabo. Ndibenza ukuba bakhangele igama elithi "umbutho". Benza njalo kwaye bajongeka bedidekile. Ndicela ukubuza ukuba ikhona na into engalunganga njengoko bejongile ukubona ukuba kukho impazamo. Ndicebisa ukuba basebenzise igama elithi "umbutho" waseMelika. Kwakhona akunto. Inkangeleko yobuso babo iyamangalisa.

Ndiphakamisa ke ukuba "masizame igama elithi ibandla" kwaye kwangoko iya kubonisa ukwenzeka kwe-51 phantsi 'kweevesi eziphambili' kunye ne-177 phantsi 'kweendinyana zonke'. Wonke umntu oye wayilandela le nkqubo wothuka. Ndidla ngokuthi, "ungafuna ukuqwalasela umahluko phakathi 'kombutho kunye' nebandla 'ngokwebhayibhile."

Ndiye ndazihambisa 1 Timothy 3: 15 apho kufundeka khonakodwa ukuba ndiyabambezeleka, ukuze uyazi indlela omele uziphathe ngayo endlwini kaThixo, ibandla eliThixo ophilayo. ” Ndibenza ukuba bayifunde okwesibini kwaye emva koko babuze le mibuzo ilandelayo:

1. Yintoni injongo yebandla?
2. Yintoni inkqubo yokusebenza?

Umbuzo wokuqala baphendula ngokukhawuleza, njengentsika kunye nenkxaso yenyaniso. Ndibuza ukuba siqhele phi ukufumana intsika kwaye bathi kwizakhiwo.

Umbuzo wesibini uthatha ixesha elincinci ukuba bagaye kodwa bayakufika kwindlu kaThixo kwaye umbuzo owongezelelekileyo unokufuneka malunga nokuba oko kuthetha ntoni ukuba sikusapho lukaThixo. Ebhayibhileni, izindlu zazidla ngokuba neentsika ezibonakalayo. Ke, sonke singamalungu osapho endlwini kaThixo. Ndiyabulela kubo ngokundibona njengelungu labo losapho, kwaye ndibabuza ukuba bangathanda na ukujonga isibhalo esingumxholo esivimbe ingqondo yam. Wonke umntu uthe 'ewe' ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

Ngoku ndibenza ukuba bafunde uMateyu 6: 9 kwaye ndibabuze ukuba babona ntoni. Wonke umntu uthi "malingcwaliswe igama lakho". Ndabe nditsho ukuba uphuthelwe yintoni. Impendulo yile “yindlela yokuthandaza”. Ndicele ukuba baqhubeke nokuhamba kwaye siya kuye "uBawo wethu".

Okwangoku ndifunde iEksodus 3: 13 ndibuze ukuba igama likaMoses liyalazi na? Impendulo ihlala ithi ewe. Ndibuza ukuba ubuza ntoni? Batsho ngomntu kaYehova nangeempawu zakhe. Ngeli xesha sibonisa oko uYehova aqhubeka nako ukutyhila ngaye ngokwevesi 14. Sidlula kuSomandla, uMniki-mthetho, uMgwebi, uKumkani, uMalusi njl.

Ndithi ke ndizibuze ukuba zingaphi izihlandlo ebizwa ngokuba nguBawo kwiZibhalo zesiHebhere eziphakathi kwe75-80% yebhayibhile? Ndibonisa itafile endiyenzileyo kwaye imalunga namaxesha e-15. Ayikhe ibe semthandazweni kwaye ubukhulu becala kuSirayeli okanye kuSolomon. Ngaphezu koko, kukwimo yesiprofetho. Ndichaza ukuba yiyo loo nto i-23^rd Indumiso isondele kakhulu, njengoko amaJuda ayeyazi indima yoMalusi nezimvu.

Ngoku ndiyabuza "sithini isityhilelo esithi umprofeti omkhulu kunoMoses, lowo nguYesu, ufundisa ngoYehova?" Ndibonisa ukuba amaJuda onke ayelazi igama nokuba lingcwele njani, kodwa ke uYesu wamazisa njengo "Bawo" kodwa "Bawo wethu". Uthini ukuba sinokuba nawo? Ulwalamano lukatata nomntwana. Ndiyabuza "ngaba likho elinye ilungelo elingcono kunokubiza uYehova ngokuba nguBawo?" Impendulo ihlala isithi hayi.

Ukongeza, ndibonisa ukuba kwiZibhalo zamaKristu zesiGrike, kuyo yonke imibhalo ebhaliweyo, igama likaThixo lisetyenziswa kuphela izihlandlo ezine kwifomathi yohlobo lwegama elithi 'Jah' (jonga kwiSityhilelo Isahluko 19). Ngokwahlukileyo koko, igama elithi Bawo lisetyenziswa amaxesha e-262, i-180 nguYesu nabanye ababhali beencwadi ezahlukeneyo. Okokugqibela, igama elithi Yesu lithetha ukuba 'uYehova lusindiso'. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo, igama lakhe liyakhula naphi na xa kukhankanywa uYesu (jonga kwabaseFilipi 2: 9-11).[3] Ngoku sinokuthi kuye 'Bawo' osondele kakhulu kuye.

Ndabe ndiyabuza, ingaba bayathanda ukwazi ukuba oku kuya kuthetha ntoni kumaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala? Bahlala besithi ewe. Ndaye ndicacisa le miba mihlanu izuzayo elikholwayo elingena kolu lwalamano noBawo.[4] Amanqaku amahlanu ngala:

1. Ubudlelwane kwilizwe 'elingabonakaliyo'

Ukunqulwa kwezithixo kwakudala kwakuxhomekeke ekubabekeni ngamadini nangezipho. Ngoku siyayazi ukuba uThixo 'nguBawo wethu', ngenxa yedini elikhulu likaYesu lethu lonke ixesha. Esi sisiqabu. Akusekho mfuneko yokuba sisoyike uSomandla njengeyona ndlela isondeleyo yokwaluka.

2. Ubudlelwane kwilizwe 'elibonileyo'

Sonke sijamelana nemiceli mngeni emininzi ebomini bethu. Ezi zinokufika nangaliphi na ixesha kwaye zinokuqhubeka. Oku kunokuba yimpilo enkenenkene, ukungaqeshwa ngokuqinisekileyo, iingxaki ezothusayo zemali, imiba yosapho, ukuphela kwemingeni yobomi kunye nokufelwa. Akukho zimpendulo zilula kodwa sazi ukuba 'uBawo wethu' uya kuba nomdla wokuxhasa kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ukulungisa iingxaki. Umntwana uyamthanda utata obambe isandla kwaye azive ekhuselekile ngokupheleleyo. Ayikho into ethuthuzelayo kwaye iyaqinisekisa. Oku kuyafana 'noBawo wethu' ngokomfuziselo sibambe isandla.

3. Ubudlelwane omnye komnye

Ukuba uThixo 'nguBawo wethu', ke singabazalwana noodade, usapho. Siya kuba novuyo kunye nosizi, iintlungu nolonwabo, ukuphakama nokuhla kodwa simanyene ngonaphakade. Hayi indlela ekuthuthuzela ngayo! Kwakhona, abo esidibana nabo kubulungiseleli bethu banokumazi uYise. Kulilungelo lethu ukubazisa. Le yeyona nkonzo ilula kwaye imnandi kakhulu.

4. Siphakanyiselwe ebukhosini

Uninzi luhlupheka ngenxa yemicimbi yokuzixabisa. Ukuba 'uBawo wethu' yiNkosi enguMongami, ke sonke singamatshawe kunye neenkosazana zezona zindlu zibalaseleyo kwindalo iphela. 'UBawo wethu' ufuna ukuba ngamnye enze njengo Nyana wakhe waseBukhosini, umntakwethu omdala. Oko kukuthi ukuthobeka, ukuthobeka, uthando, inceba, ububele kwaye uhlala uvuma ukuncama abanye. Siya kuhlala silungele ukusebenza njengoBawo noNyana. Ngoku ntsasa nganye sinokujonga esipilini kwaye sibone ubukhosi ngaphakathi kwethu. Le yeyona ndlela imnandi yokuqalisa naluphi na usuku!

5. Ubungangamsha obungenasiphelo, amandla, uzuko kodwa lufikeleleke

Kwintsimi yethu, amaSilamsi ahlala esitsho ukuba ngokumbiza uAllah, Bawo, siyamthoba. Ayilunganga. UThixo usinike ukusondelelana kwaye oko kuthetha ukuba singafikelela kubuMkhulu bakwa-Israyeli, ukujongana noThixo uSomandla, kwaye sikwazi ukubonakalisa ubuqaqawuli bakhe ngokuxelisa okuphela kozelweyo konyana wakhe. Sinobudlelwane kunye nokufikelela kodwa akukho nto iyaphungwayo. UBawo wethu kunye noNyana wakhe abaphantsi kodwa siphakanyisiwe ngezenzo zabo zokusinika ulwalamano lusondeleyo.

Ngeli xesha, abanye baba neemvakalelo. Kuyamangalisa. Ndicebisa ukuba siyigqibezele ingxoxo okwangoku kwaye sicamngce ngala manqaku. Abambalwa bathathe amanqaku. Ndibuze ke ukuba bangathanda na ukufunda malunga nokusondela kuYesu njengoko kubonwa kwiRev 3: 20 kunye / okanye kwabase-Efese 1: 16 ngokuphucula imithandazo yethu.

Impendulo ihlala ithi 'ewe nceda'. Abantu ngokwesiqhelo bacela iseshoni yokulandela. Ndibaxelele ukuba ndiyaluxabisa utyelelo lwabo kunye nomdla onomdla kwimeko yam.

Ukuqukumbela, le ndlela ibonakala isebenza njengoko sisebenzisa nje amanqaku egunya ii-JWs zibambelele kuzo; i-NWT Bible, ipapasho “Ikhoboka Elithembekileyo”; iJW Library App; akufuneki siphikise nantoni na kwinkolo; sityhilela okungakumbi ngoYehova nangoYesu; Silingisa indlela yeNkosi yethu yokufundisa kangangoko sinako. Umntu unokuphanda kwaye acamngce 'ngokudibanisa ibandla'. Akukho minyango ivaliweyo kwaye amaHebhere 4: I-12 ithi "Kuba ilizwi likaThixo liphilile, linamandla kwaye libukhali kunayo nayiphi na ikrele elintlangothi-mbini, lihlaba laze lahlule umphefumlo kunye nomoya, nokudibana kunye nomongo wabo, kwaye liyakwazi ukuqonda iingcinga kunye neenjongo wentliziyo. ” Bonke abazalwana noodadewethu bayakuthanda ukufunda iBhayibhile kwaye ngakumbi okuthile ngoYehova uYise noNyana wakhe banokukusebenzisa ngoko nangoko. Kuphela lilizwi likaThixo, iBhayibhile kunye noNyana wakhe uLizwi ophilayo, abanokufikelela kweyona ndawo inzulu yanoma yimuphi umntu. Masenze into yethu encinci kwaye sibashiye bonke Nyana abanalo lonke igunya namandla afunekayo.

Elasar

JW ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20. Kutshanje uye wayeka ukuba ngumdala. Lilizwi likaThixo kuphela eliyinyaniso yaye asinakusebenzisa ukuba sisenyanisweni kwakhona. U-Eleasar uthetha "uThixo uncedile" kwaye ndizele ngumbulelo.
