Molo, igama lam nguEric Wilson.

Kwividiyo yethu yokuqala, ndibeke umbono wokuba ndisebenzise imigaqo esiyisebenzisayo njengamaNgqina kaYehova ukujonga ukuba ngaba ezinye iinkonzo zithathwa njengeziyinyani okanye zibubuxoki kuthi. Ke, inqobo efanayo, la manqaku mahlanu — mathandathu ngoku — sizakusebenzisa ukujonga ukuba siyazifezekisa kusini na iikhrayitheriya esilindele ukuba zonke ezinye iinkonzo zihlangane nazo. Kubonakala ngathi luvavanyo olufanelekileyo. Ndingathanda ukuya ezantsi kuyo kwaye ngoku silapha kwividiyo yesithathu asikenzi oko; kwaye isizathu sikukuba kusekho izinto ezisendleleni yethu.

Nanini na xa ndizisa ezi zifundo kubahlobo, ndifumana inkcaso yenkcaso engaguquguqukiyo ebhodini endixelela ukuba ezi asizizo iingcinga zabo, kodwa ziingcinga ebezingeniswe kwiminyaka- kwaye ndiyakucaphukela Sebenzisa igama-uqeqesho, kuba baphantse baphuma igama negama ngokulandelelana. Makhe ndikunike imizekelo.

Inokuqala ngala mazwi: 'Kodwa singumbutho wenene… Singumbutho kaYehova… Akukho mbutho wumbi… Siza kuya phi kwenye indawo?' Emva koko kulandela into enje, 'Asifanelanga ukunyaniseka kumbutho?… Ngapha koko, ngubani owasifundisa inyani?… Kwaye' Ukuba kukho into engalunganga, kulungile ukuba silindele nje uYehova… Asifanelanga sibalekele phambili Ngokuqinisekileyo… Ngapha koko, ngubani osikelela umbutho? Asinguye na uYehova? Akucaci na ukuba intsikelelo yakhe iphezu kwethu?… Kwaye xa ucinga ngako, ngubani omnye oshumayela iindaba ezilungileyo emhlabeni wonke? Akukho mntu wumbi ukwenzayo oko. '

I-kinda iphuma ngale ndlela, kumjelo wokuqonda. Kwaye ndiyaqonda ukuba akukho mntu ukhe wahlala phantsi wacinga ngale nto. Ke masiyenze loo nto. Ngaba ezi zizichaso ezifanelekileyo? Masibone. Makhe siqwalasele nganye nganye kuzo.

Ngoku, enye yezokuqala ize ngapha koko, 'Lo ngumbutho wenene' — oyinyani le yinkcazo-ngumbuzo othi:' Singaya phi na? ' Ngokwesiqhelo ngokuhambelana noko, abantu baya kuthi emva koko bacaphule amazwi kaPetros kuYesu. Bayakuthi, 'Niyakhumbula xa uYesu waxelela isihlwele ukuba kufuneka batye inyama yakhe, basele igazi lakhe, bamshiya bonke, waguqukela kubafundi bakhe, wababuza,' Nani nifuna ukuya? ' Wathini uPetros? '

Kwaye phantse ngaphandle kokukhetha-kwaye bendinengxoxo kule minyaka idlulileyo nabantu abahlukeneyo-bazakuthetha la mazwi athethwa nguPeter, 'Siya kuphinda siye phi?' ”Ayiyiyo le nto ucinga ukuba wayithetha? Ewe, makhe sijonge into ayithethileyo. Uya kuyifumana kwincwadi kaYohane isahluko 6 ivesi 68. "Ngubani", usebenzisa igama, "ngubani." Ngubani siza kuya? Hayi, apho Siya?

Ngoku, kukho umahluko omkhulu apho. Uyabona, nokuba siphi na, singaya kuYesu. Singaba sisodwa, sinokuhlala embindini wentolongo, ekuphela komnquli wenene apho kwaye sibuyele kuYesu, Sisikhokelo sethu, uyiNkosi yethu, uyiNkosi yethu, uyiNkosi yethu, uyiNkosi yethu Yonke into kuthi. Hayi “phi.” "Phi" kubonisa indawo. Kufuneka siye kwiqela labantu, kufuneka sibesendaweni, kufuneka sibekho kumbutho. Ukuba siza kusindiswa, kufuneka sibekhona kumbutho lowo. Ngaphandle koko, asiyi kusindiswa. Hayi! Usindiso luza ngokuguqukela kuYesu, hayi ngobulungu okanye ukudibana nelinye iqela. Akukho nto eBhayibhileni ebonisa ukuba kufuneka ubekho kwiqela elithile labantu ukuze usindiswe. Kuya kufuneka ungokaYesu, kwaye inene yile nto ithi yiBhayibhile. UYesu ungokaYehova, singabakaYesu kwaye zonke izinto zezethu.

Ukuqiqa ukuba akufuneki sibeke ithemba lethu emadodeni, uPaul uxelele abaseKorinte, ababesenza loo nto kanye, oku kulandelayo kwi-1 kwabaseKorinte 3:21 ukuya ku-23:

“Ngoko ke makungabikho namnye uqhayisa ngabantu: kuba zonke izinto zezenu, nokuba nguPawulos, nokuba nguApolo, nokuba nguKefas, nokuba lihlabathi, nokuba bubomi, nokuba kukufa, nokuba zizinto ezikhoyo, nokuba zezizayo: zonke zezenu. nina ningabakaKristu; UKristu ngokaThixo. ” (1 Co 3: 21-23)

Kulungile, injalo ke inqaku loku-1. Kodwa kusafuneka ulungelelaniswe ngokuchanekileyo? Kufuneka ube nomsebenzi olungelelanisiweyo. Leyo yindlela esoloko sicinga ngayo kwaye kulandela enye inkcaso esoloko isiza: 'UYehova ebesoloko enentlangano.' Kulungile, kulungile, ayisiyonyani leyo de kwaba kukusekwa kwesizwe sakwaSirayeli, kwiminyaka engama-2500 eyadlulayo, wayengenalo uhlanga okanye abantu okanye umbutho. Wayenabantu abanjengoAbraham, uIsake, uYakobi, uNowa, uEnoki ebuyela kuAbheli. Kodwa waseka umbutho ngo-1513 BCE phantsi koMoses.

Ngoku, ndiyazi ukuba kuyakubakho abantu abathi 'Yima kancinci, yima umzuzu. Igama elithi “umbutho” alikho eBhayibhileni ngoko awunakuthi wayenombutho. '

Ewe kuyinyani, igama alibonakali kwaye sinokubamba malunga naloo nto; kodwa andifuni kuphikisana ngamazwi. Ke, masikuthathe nje njengenikiweyo esinokuthi umbutho uyafana nesizwe, uyafana nabantu. UYehova unabantu, unesizwe, unombutho, unebandla. Masicinge nje ukuba ziyafana kuba ayitshintshi impikiswano esiyenzayo. Kulungile, ngenxa yoko usoloko enombutho ukususela oko uMosis waba ngowazisa umnqophiso omdala kwisizwe sakwaSirayeli-umnqophiso abasilelayo ukuwugcina.

Kulungile, kulungile, kulungile, ke ukulandela loo logic, kwenzeka ntoni xa umbutho ungahambi kakuhle? Kungenxa yokuba uSirayeli wayehamba kakubi amaxesha amaninzi. Iqale kamnandi kakhulu, bahlala kwiLizwe Lesithembiso emva koko ibhayibhile ithi, ngenene isithuba seminyaka embalwa, umntu ngamnye wenza oko kulungileyo emehlweni akhe. Oko akuthethi ukuba benze nantoni na abayifunayo. Babephantsi komthetho. Kwakufuneka bathobele umthetho kwaye benza njalo-xa babethembekile. Kodwa benza oko kulungileyo emehlweni abo. Ngamanye amagama, kwakungekho mntu ngaphezulu kubo ebaxelela, 'Hayi, hayi, kufuneka nithobele umthetho ngale ndlela; kufuneka uthobele umthetho ngaloo ndlela. '

Umzekelo, abaFarisi ngomhla kaYesu-baxelela abantu ngqo indlela yokuthobela umthetho. Uyazi, ngeSabatha, ukuba ungakanani umsebenzi onokuyenza? Ngaba ungambulala impukane ngesabatha? Benza yonke le mithetho, jk kodwa kwisiseko sokuqala sakwa-Israyeli, kuloo minyaka ingamakhulu ambalwa yokuqala, oosolusapho babeyintloko yosapho kwaye usapho ngalunye lwalunokuzimela geqe.

Kwenzeka ntoni xa kwakukho ukungavisisani phakathi kweentsapho? Ewe, babeneejaji kwaye enye yejaji yayingumfazi, uDebhora. Ke, ibonisa indlela uYehova abajonga ngayo abafazi ayisiyiyo le nto sibajonga njengabafazi. (Ngokwenene wayenomfazi ongumgwebi kwa-Israyeli. Umfazi wahlulela u-Israyeli. Ingcinga enomdla, into eyenzelwe elinye inqaku okanye enye ividiyo kwixesha elizayo. Kodwa masiyiyeke kuloo nto.) Kwenzeka ntoni emva koko? Badiniwe kukuzigqibela, basebenzise umthetho kubo. Ke benza ntoni?

Bafuna ukumkani, bafuna umntu oza kubalawula kwaye u Yehova wathi, 'Licebo elibi eli.' Usebenzise uSamuweli ukubaxelela loo nto kwaye bathi, 'Hayi, hayi, hayi! Siza kuba nokumkani phezu kwethu. Sifuna ukumkani. '

Ke bafumana ukumkani kwaye izinto zaqala ukungahambi kakuhle emva koko. Ke, sifika komnye wookumkani, ukumkani wesizwe sezizwe ezilishumi, uAhabhi, owatshata nomphambukeli, uIzebhele; owamenza wanqula uBhahali. Unqulo lukaBhahali lwaluxhaphakile kwa-Israyeli kwaye apha une-Eliya elihlwempuzekileyo, ufuna ukuthembeka. Ngoku umthumele ukuba ashumayele kumandla kakumkani kwaye amxelele ukuba wenza okungalunganga Akumangalisi ukuba izinto zingahambanga kakuhle. Abantu abasemagunyeni abakuthandi ukuxelelwa ukuba bayaphazama; ngakumbi xa umntu ebaxelela ethetha inyani. Ekuphela kwendlela yokujongana noku engqondweni yabo kukuthulisa umprofeti, yiyo loo nto bazama ukuyenza ngo-Eliya. Kwaye kwafuneka abaleke esindisa ubomi bakhe.

Wabaleka ke waya kwiNtaba yeHorebhe efuna isikhokelo sikaThixo nakweyoku-1 yooKumkani 19: 14:

“Waza ke wathi:“ Ndinenzondelelo ngokupheleleyo kuYehova uTHIXO wemikhosi; kuba abantu bakwaSirayeli bawulahlile umnqophiso wakho, neziqonga zakho bazichithile, nabaprofeti bakho bababulele ngekrele, ndim ndedwa oseleyo. Ngoku bafuna ukuthatha umphefumlo wam. ”(1 Kum. 19:14)

Ewe, ubonakala ngathi uphantsi kwizinto, eziqondakalayo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, wayeyindoda nje kubo bonke ubuthathaka bamadoda.

Siyayiqonda ukuba kuya kuba njani ukuba yedwa. Ukuba ubomi bakho busongelwe. Ukucinga ukuba yonke into onayo ilahlekile. Ukanti, uYehova wamnika amazwi okhuthazo. Watsho kwivesi yeshumi elinesibhozo:

Ndishiye amashumi asixhenxe amawaka kwaSirayeli, onke amadolo angaguqanga kuBhahali, imilomo yakhe ingangaanga. ”(7,000Ki 1:19)

Inokuba loo nto yamothusa kakhulu uEliya kwaye isenokuba yayilukhuthazo naye. Wayengeyedwa; kwakukho amawaka afana naye! Amawaka angazange aqubude kuBhahali, awayenganquli uthixo wobuxoki. Enjani yona ingcinga! Ke uYehova wamnika amandla kunye nesibindi sokubuyela umva kwaye wakwenza oko kwaye waphumelela.

Kodwa nantsi into enomdla: Ukuba uEliya wayefuna ukunqula kwaye ukuba loo madoda athembekileyo angamawaka asixhenxe afuna ukunqula, ayekhonza phi? Ngaba bangaya eYiputa? Ngaba bangaya eBhabheli? Ngaba bangaya kwaEdom okanye nakwezinye iintlanga? Akunjalo. Bonke babenqula ubuxoki. Kwakufuneka bahlale kwaSirayeli. Yayikuphela kwendawo apho umthetho wawukho — umthetho kaMoses nemimiselo kunye nonqulo oluyinyaniso. Nangona kunjalo, uSirayeli wayengekho kunqulo lokwenyaniso. Babenqula uBhahali. Ke loo madoda kwafuneka ukuba afumane indlela yokukhonza uThixo eyedwa, ngendlela yabo. Kwaye rhoqo emfihlakalweni kuba baya kuchaswa batshutshiswe bade babulawe.

Ngaba uYehova wathi, 'Ewe, ekubeni inguwe kuphela othembekileyo, ndiza kwenza umbutho ngawe. Ndiza kuyilahla le ntlangano yakwaSirayeli kwaye ndiqale ngawe njengombutho '? Hayi, khange ayenze lonto. Kwiminyaka eli-1,500 XNUMX, waqhubeka nohlanga lakwaSirayeli njengentlangano yakhe, phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi. Kwaye kwenzeka ntoni, amaxesha amaninzi bekukubi, kuhlala kukreqa. Ukanti babesoloko bethembekile abo ngabo uYehova wababona wabaxhasa, njengoko wayexhasa uEliya.

Khawuleza phambili kwiinkulungwane ezilithoba ukuya kwixesha likaKrestu. Apha uSirayeli useyintlangano kaYehova. Uthumele uNyana wakhe njengethuba, ithuba lokugqibela lokuba baguquke. Kwaye yiloo nto ahlala esenza. Uyazi, besithetha ngalo, 'Kulungile kufuneka silinde kuYehova kwaye umbono ke lowo, ewe, uya kuzilungisa izinto'. Kodwa uYehova akazange azimise izinto kuba oko kuya kuthetha ukuphazamisa inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Akangeni ezingqondweni zeenkokeli kwaye azenze zenze into elungileyo. Into ayenzayo, ubathumelela abantu, abaprofeti kwaye wenza njalo kuwo onke loo makhulu eminyaka ukuzama ukubenza baguquke. Ngamanye amaxesha bayakwenza kwaye ngamanye amaxesha abayenzi.

Ekugqibeleni, wathumela uNyana wakhe kwaye endaweni yokuguquka bambulala. Ke leyo yayiyingca yokugqibela kwaye ngenxa yoko uYehova walutshabalalisa uhlanga. Ke yindlela asebenza ngayo nombutho ongalandeli indlela yakhe, imiyalelo yakhe. Ekugqibeleni, emva kokubanika amathuba amaninzi, uyabatshabalalisa. Uyawucima umbutho. Kwaye yile nto ayenzileyo. Watshabalalisa uhlanga lwakwaSirayeli. Kwakungasekho mbutho wakhe. Umnqophiso omdala wawungasasebenzi, wabeka umnqophiso omtsha kwaye wawubeka nabantu ababengamaSirayeli. Ngoko ke wathabatha kwimbewu ka-Abraham, amadoda athembekileyo. Kodwa ngoku uzise ezintlangeni amadoda athembeke ngakumbi, abanye ababengengomaSirayeli kwaye baba ngamaSirayeli ngokwasemoyeni. Ke ngoku unombutho omtsha.

Wenza ntoni ke? Waqhubeka nokuxhasa loo ntlangano kwaye ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yokuqala uYesu ukhuthaza uYohane ukuba abhalele amabandla ahlukeneyo, umbutho wakhe. Ngokomzekelo, waligxeka ibandla lase-Efese ngokungabi naluthando; ishiye uthando ababenalo kuqala. Emva koko iPergamo, babesamkela imfundiso kaBhileham. Khumbula uBhileham wakhuthaza amaSirayeli ukuba anqule izithixo kunye nokuziphatha okubi ngokwesini. Babesamkela loo mfundiso. Kwakukho nehlelo lamaNicholas ababelinyamezela. Ke ihlelo lingena ebandleni, kumbutho. E-Tiyatira babekunyamezela ukuziphatha kakubi ngokwesondo kunye nokunqula izithixo kunye nemfundiso yomfazi ogama linguIzebhele. ESardis babefile ngokomoya. ELaodikea naseFiladelfi babengenamdla. Zonke ezi yayizizono uYesu awayengenakuzinyamezela ngaphandle kokuba zilungiswe. Wabanika isilumkiso. Le ikwayinkqubo enye. Thumela umprofeti, kule meko imibhalo kaJohane ibalumkise. Ukuba bayaphendula… balungile… kwaye ukuba abenzi njalo, wenza ntoni ke? Ngaphandle komnyango! Nangona kunjalo, babekho abantu entlanganweni ngelo xesha ababethembekile. Njengokuba babekho ngexesha likaSirayeli ababethembekile kuThixo.

Masifunde oko uYesu wayeza kukuthetha kwabo bantu.

“'Nangona kunjalo, unabantu abambalwa eSarida abangazingcolisanga izambatho zabo, kwaye baya kuhamba nam ngabamhlophe, kuba kufanelekile. Lowo weyisayo uya kuthiwa wambu ngeengubo ezimhlophe, andisayi kucima igama lakhe encwadini yobomi, ndiya kulazi igama lakhe phambi koBawo, naphambi kwezingelosi zakhe. Lowo unendlebe makayive into ayithethayo umoya kuwo amabandla. ”(Re 3: 4-6)

Loo mazwi ayesebenza nakwabanye abathembekileyo abakwamanye amabandla. Abantu bayasindiswa, hayi amaqela! Akakugcini kuba unekhadi lobulungu kumbutho othile. Usindisa kuba uthembekile kuye nakuYise.

Kulungile, ke siyayamkela into yokuba umbutho ngoku ulibandla lamaKristu. Kwakunjalo ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Kwaye siyavuma ukuba yena, uYehova, ebesoloko enentlangano. Kunene?

Kulungile, ke yayiyintoni intlangano yakhe kwinkulungwane yesine? Ngenkulungwane yesithandathu? Ngenkulungwane yeshumi?

Uhleli enombutho. Kwakukho iCawa yamaKatolika, kukho neCawa yobuOthodoki yamaGrike. Ekugqibeleni, ezinye iicawa zasekwa kwaye kwavela uHlaziyo lwamaProtestanti. Kodwa ngalo lonke elo xesha uYehova wayesoloko enentlangano. Ukanti, njengamaNgqina, sibanga oko, yayiyicawe yowexuko leyo. UbuKristu Abawexukileyo.

Ewe, u-Israyeli, umbutho wakhe, waye wexuka amaxesha amaninzi. Kwakusoloko kukho abantu abathembekileyo kwaSirayeli, kwaye kwakufuneka bahlale kwaSirayeli. Abakwazanga ukuya kwezinye izizwe. Kuthekani ngamaKristu? UmKristu okwiCawa yamaKatolika ongayithandiyo ingcamango yesihogo somlilo nokuthuthunjiswa ngonaphakade, ongavumelani nokungafi komphefumlo njengemfundiso yobuhedeni, othi ubathathu emnye yimfundiso yobuxoki; angenza ntoni loo mntu? Ngaba uyalishiya ibandla lamaKristu? Ngaba uya kuba ngumSilamsi? UmHindu? Hayi, kwafuneka ahlale engumKristu. Kwakufuneka anqule uYehova uThixo. Kwakufuneka amkele uKristu njengeNkosi noMphathi wakhe. Ke, kwafuneka ukuba ahlale kumbutho, owawubuKristu. Kanye njengokuba uSirayeli wayenjalo, ngoku ngoku le ntlangano.

Ke ngoku sikhawulezisa ukuya kwinkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba kwaye unabantu abaninzi abaqala ukucela umngeni kwiicawe kwakhona. Benza amaqela okufunda iBhayibhile. Umbutho wabafundi beBhayibhile ngomnye wabo, wamaqela ahlukeneyo okufunda iBhayibhile kwihlabathi liphela ahlanganisanayo. Bahlala bebodwa, kuba babengekho phantsi komntu ngaphandle kukaYesu Kristu. Bamqonda njengeNkosi yabo.

URussell ngomnye wabo baqala ukupapasha iincwadi kunye neemagazini—IMboniselo umzekelo-ukuba aBafundi beBhayibhile baqala ukulandela. Kulungile. Uye wajonga phantsi uYehova wathi, 'Hmm, kulungile, nina nenza into elungileyo ke ngoko ndiza kunenza umbutho wam kanye njengokuba ndenza amadoda angama-7000 angazange aguqe ngamadolo kuBhahali abuyele kwaSirayeli. intlangano? ' Hayi. Kuba khange ayenze ngoko, khange ayenze ngoku. Kutheni enokuyenza loo nto? Unentlangano — ubuKristu. Ngaphakathi kulo mbutho kukho abanquli bobuxoki kunye nabanquli bokwenyaniso kodwa kukho umbutho omnye.

Ke, xa sicinga ngamaNgqina kaYehova, sithanda ukucinga ukuba, 'Hayi, kuphela kwentlangano yokwenene.' Ewe, ingaba siyintoni isiseko sokwenza loo ngcinga? Ngaba sifundisa inyaniso? Kulungile, ewe, nditsho no-Eliya kunye nama-7000, bavunywa nguThixo ukuba bangabanquli bokwenyani kodwa akabenzanga kwintlangano yakhe. Ke nokuba sifundisa inyani yodwa, kubonakala ngathi akukho sizathu seBhayibhile sokuthi singumbutho omnye oyinyaniso.

Kodwa masithi ikhona. Masithi kukho isiseko soko. Kulungile, kufanelekile ngokwaneleyo. Kwaye akukho nto inokusithintela ekubeni sihlolisise iZibhalo ukuze siqiniseke ukuba singumbutho oyinyani, nokuba iimfundiso zethu ziyinyani kuba ukuba azikho njalo yintoni? Ke asiyiyo intlangano eyinyani ngokwenkcazo yethu.

Kulungile, ke ngoku malunga nezinye izichaso, ukuba kufuneka sinyaniseke? Siva loo nto kakhulu kule mihla-ukunyaniseka. Ingqungquthela epheleleyo yokunyaniseka. Banokuwatshintsha amagama akuMika 6: 8 ukusuka "thanda ububele" uye "thanda ukunyaniseka", eyayingeyondlela ibhalwe ngayo ngesiHebhere. Ngoba? Kuba sithetha ngokunyaniseka kwiqumrhu elilawulayo, ukunyaniseka kumbutho. Ewe, kwimeko kaEliya ibhunga elilawulayo lomhla wakhe yayilikumkani kwaye noKumkani wayenyulwe nguThixo, kuba yayilulwalamano lookumkani kwaye noYehova emisela owokuqala ukumkani, wamisela owesibini ukumkani. Kwandula ke kwangena inzala kaDavide. Kwaye ke unokuphikisana, ngokwesiBhalo, ukuba bamiselwe nguThixo. Nokuba benze okuhle okanye kakubi, babemiselwe nguThixo. Ngaba uEliya wayenyanisekile kukumkani? Ukuba wayekhe wanqula, ngewayenqule uBhahali. Wayengenakuyenza loo nto kuba ukuthembeka kwakhe kwakuza kwahlulwa.

Ngaba ndinyanisekile kukumkani? Okanye ndinyanisekile kuYehova? Ke sinokunyaniseka kuphela kuyo nayiphi na intlangano ukuba loo ntlangano ihambelana ngokupheleleyo no-100%. Kwaye ukuba kunjalo, sinokuthi nje sinyanisekile kuYehova kwaye siyishiye loo nto. Ke ngoku siqala ukuthinjwa, ukuba siqala ukucinga, 'Hayi, kufuneka ndinyaniseke emadodeni. Kodwa ngubani osifundise inyaniso? '

Nantso impikiswano uyazi. 'Andizange ndiyifunde ngokwam inyaniso. Ndiyifunde entlanganweni. ' Kulungile, ke ukuba uyifundile kumbutho kufuneka ngoku uthembeke kumbutho. Yiloo nto esisiseko sokuqiqa esikuthethayo. Ewe, umKatolika unokusebenzisa ukuqiqa okufanayo okanye umWesile okanye umBhaptizi okanye uMormon. 'Ndifunde ecaweni yam ke kufuneka ndinyanisekile kubo.

Kodwa ungathi, 'Hayi, hayi, yahlukile.'

Ewe, yahluke njani?

Ewe, kwahlukile kuba bafundisa izinto ezingezizo. '

Ngoku sibuyele umva kwisikwere sokuqala. Yiloo nto yonke le ngqungquthela yevidiyo-ukuqinisekisa ukuba sifundisa izinto eziyinyani. Kwaye ukuba kunjalo, kulungile. Ingxabano inokugcina amanzi. Kodwa ukuba asiyiyo, impikiswano iyajika kuthi.

'Kuthekani ngeendaba ezilungileyo?'

Yiyo, enye into eza ngalo lonke ixesha. Eli bali linye, 'Ewe, sisodwa esishumayela iindaba ezilungileyo emhlabeni wonke.' Oku akuyinanzi into yokuba isinye kwisithathu sehlabathi sithi singamaKristu. Baye baba ngamaKristu njani? Ngubani owabafundisa iindaba ezilungileyo ukutyhubela iinkulungwane ukuze isinye kwisithathu sehlabathi, ngaphezulu kwabantu abangama-2 ezigidi, bangamaKristu?

'Ewe kodwa ngamaKristu obuxoki,' utsho. 'Bafundiswa iindaba ezilungileyo zobuxoki.'

Kulungile, ngoba?

'Kuba bafundiswa iindaba ezilungileyo ezisekelwe kwiimfundiso zobuxoki. ”

Sibuyile ngqo kwisikwere sokuqala. Ukuba iindaba zethu ezilungileyo zisekwe kwiimfundiso eziyinyani sinokuthi singabo kuphela abashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo kodwa ukuba sifundisa ubuxoki, sohluke njani?

Kwaye lo ngumbuzo obaluleke kakhulu kuba iziphumo zokufundisa iindaba ezilungileyo ezisekwe kubuxoki zinzima kakhulu. Makhe sijonge kumaGalati 1: 6-9.

Ndiyamangaliswa kukuba nina niphambuke ngokukhawuleza kulowo ninibizayo ngobubele obungasifanelanga bukaKristu, nisiya kolunye uhlobo lweendaba ezilungileyo. Asikuko ukuba zikho ezinye iindaba ezilungileyo; Kodwa kukho abathile abanikhathazayo nabafuna ukugqwetha iindaba ezilungileyo ezingoKristu. Nangona kunjalo, nokokuba thina okanye ingelosi evela ezulwini inokwazisa iindaba ezilungileyo ngokungaphaya kweendaba ezilungileyo esazivakaliswa kuni, mabeqalekisiwe. Njengokuba besesitshilo, ndiyaphinda, ndithi, Ngubani na oshumayela iindaba ezilungileyo ezinxamnye nezo nazamkelayo, makasingelwe phantsi.

Ngoko, sibuyele ekulindeni kuYehova. Kulungile, masithathe umzuzu apha kwaye senze nje uphando malunga nokulinda uYehova-kwaye, ke, kuya kufuneka ndikhankanye ukuba oku kuhlala kunxulunyaniswa nokusebenzisa gwenxa into endiyithandayo: 'Asifanele siqhubele phambili.'

Kulungile, ukuqhubela phambili kuthetha ukuba siza nezethu iimfundiso, kodwa ukuba sizama ukufumana iimfundiso eziyinyani zikaKristu, ukuba kukho into esibuya nayo umva. Sibuyele kuKristu, sibuyele kwinyaniso yantlandlolo, singaqhubeli phambili neengcinga zethu.

Ngaba 'ukulinda kuYehova'? Ewe, eBhayibhileni. . . Kulungile, masikhe siye kwilayibrari yeWatch Tower size sibone ukuba isetyenziswa njani eBhayibhileni. Ngoku, into endiyenzileyo apha kukusebenzisa amagama athi, "linda" kunye "nokulinda" ahlukaniswe ngumqobo othe nkqo, oya kusinika yonke into eyenzekayo apho naliphi na kula magama mabini likho kwisivakalisi kunye negama elithi "Yehova". Kukho iimeko ezingama-47 zizonke kwaye ukonga ixesha andizukuya kuzo zonke ngenxa yokuba ezinye zazo zichaphazelekayo, ezinye zazo azikho. Umzekelo, ukuvela okokuqala kwiGenesis kufanelekile. Ithi, “Ndilindele usindiso lwakho, Yehova.” Ke xa sisithi 'linda kuYehova', sinokuyisebenzisa kwimeko yokulindela kuye ukuba asisindise.

Nangona kunjalo, indawo elandelayo ikwiNumeri apho wathi uMoses, "Yimani apho, ndive oko uYehova anokukuwisela umthetho ngawe." Ke ayifanelekanga kwingxoxo yethu. Abalindi kuYehova, kodwa la magama mabini ayenzeka kwisivakalisi. Ke ukugcina ixesha lokuhamba kwimeko nganye kunye nokufunda nganye ngoku, ndiza kukhupha ezifanelekileyo, ezinxulumene nokulinda ngandlela thile. Nangona kunjalo, ndincoma ukuba wenze olu phando ngokwakho ngesantya sakho ukuze uqiniseke ukuba yonke into oyivayo ichanekile ngokoko kufundiswa yiBhayibhile. Ke, into endiyenzileyo apha kukuncamathisela kwiZibhalo ezifanelekileyo kwingxoxo yakho ukuze uphonononge. Sele siyifundile iGenesis, 'Ukulindela usindiso kuYehova.' Le ilandelayo yiNdumiso. Kukwimeko efanayo, ukumlinda ukuba asindiswe, njengoko kunjalo ngeNdumiso 33:18, apho ithetha ngokulinda uthando lwakhe olunyanisekileyo, ngelixa uthando lwakhe olunyanisekileyo lubhekisa ekugcineni izithembiso. Njengokuba esithanda, uyazizalisekisa izithembiso zakhe kuthi. Elandelayo ikwangumbono ofanayo, uthando olunyanisekileyo, iNdumiso 33:22. Ke, kwakhona, sithetha ngosindiso ngala ndlela inye.

INdumiso 37: 7 ithi: “Yithi cwaka ngoYehova, umlinde, ungamcaphukisi umntu ophumeleleyo ekuphumezeni amaqhinga akhe.” Ke, kwimeko apho ukuba umntu uyasikhohlisa okanye uyasixhaphaza okanye usisebenzisa kakubi nangayiphi na indlela silindele kuYehova ukuba alungise ingxaki. Eli lilandelayo lithetha, "AmaSirayeli makaqhubeke elindele uYehova kuba uthembekile kuthando lwakhe kwaye unamandla amakhulu okuhlangula." Ke intlawulelo, uthetha ngosindiso kwakhona. Kwaye elandelayo ithetha ngothando olunyanisekileyo, elandelayo ithetha ngosindiso. Ke nyani, yonke into, xa besithetha ngokulinda uYehova, yonke into inento yokwenza nokulindela usindiso lwethu.

Ke, ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba sikwinkolo efundisa ubuxoki, umbono ayisiyo yokuba siza kuzama ukuyilungisa loo nkolo, ayisiyongcamango leyo. Injongo kukuba sihlale sithembekile kuYehova, sinyanisekile kuye. Oko kuthetha ukuba sinamathela enyanisweni njengo-Eliya. Kwaye asiphambuki enyanisweni, nangona abo basingqongileyo besenza njalo. Kodwa kwelinye icala, asikhawulezi siye phambili kwaye sizama ukulungisa izinto ngokwethu. Silindele kuye ukuba asisindise.

Ngaba iyakothusa yonke le nto? Ngokucacileyo siyacebisa, kodwa asikangqineli okwangoku, ukuba ezinye zeemfundiso zethu zibubuxoki. Ngoku, ukuba kunjalo, sibuyela kumbuzo othi, Siya kuyaphi enye indawo? Ewe, besele sitshilo ukuba asiyi kwenye indawo, siya komnye umntu. Kodwa kuthetha ntoni oko?

Uyabona, njengeNgqina likaYehova, kwaye ndithetha ngokwamava am, besisoloko sicinga ukuba sikwisikhephe esinye. Umbutho ufana nenqanawa esiya kwiparadesi; iya eparadesi. Zonke ezinye iinqanawa, zonke ezinye iinkolo — ezinye zazo ziinqanawa ezinkulu, ezinye zazo zezincinci kodwa zonke ezinye iinkolo — ziya kwelinye icala. Baya ngakwimpophoma. Abazi, akunjalo? Ke, ukuba ngequbuliso ndiyaqonda ukuba inqanawa yam isekwe kwimfundiso engeyiyo, ndiyahamba nabanye. Ndiya ngase ngxangxasi. Ndiyaphi? Jonga le ngcinga, ndifuna ukuba senqanaweni. Ndingena njani kwiparadesi ukuba andikho enqanaweni? Andikwazi kuqubha kuyo yonke indlela.

Kwaye ngesiquphe wandibetha, kufuneka ukholo kuYesu Kristu. Kwaye lolu kholo lusenza ukuba sikwazi ukwenza oko luyasivumela, lusenza ukuba sikwazi, lusinika amandla okuhamba phezu kwamanzi. Sinokuhamba phezu kwamanzi. Yiloo nto kanye eyenziwa nguYesu. Wahamba ngokoqobo phezu kwamanzi-ngokholo. Kwaye akakwenzanga oko ngenjongo yokuqhayisa ngamandla, kodwa ukwenza eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu. Ngokholo singazisusa iintaba; ngokholo sihamba phezu kwamanzi. Asifuni mntu wumbi okanye nantoni na eyenye, kuba sinoKristu. Unokusisa apho.

Ukuba sibuyele kwi-akhawunti kaEliya, sinokubona indlela emnandi ngayo le ngcinga, nokuba uBawo wethu unenkathalo kangakanani, nokuba unomdla kangakanani kuthi ngokomntu ngamnye. Kweyoku-1 yooKumkani 19: 4, sifunda oku:

“Uhambile uhambo lwemini yonke entlango, wafika wahlala phantsi komthi womhluzi, wacela ukuba afe. Yathi: “Kwanele! Ke ngoku, Yehova, seluwuthatha umphefumlo wam, kuba andilunganga kunookhokho bam. ”(1 Kum. 19: 4)

Ngoku, okumangalisayo ngale nto kukuba oku kuphendula isoyikiso sikaIzebhele ngobomi bakhe. Kwaye lo mntu wayesele enze imimangaliso eliqela. Wayinqanda imvula ukuba ingani, woyisa ababingeleli bakaBhahali kukhuphiswano olwaluphakathi koYehova noBhahali, apho isibingelelo sikaYehova sasitshiswe ngomlilo ovela ezulwini. Ngayo yonke loo nto isemva kwakhe, ungacinga, “Ingenzeka njani le nto ngesiquphe ukuba lusizi? Uyoyikeka kangaka? ”

Ibonisa nje ukuba sonke singabantu kwaye nokuba senza ngolunye usuku kakuhle kangakanani, ngosuku olulandelayo singangumntu ohluke ngokupheleleyo. UYehova uyazibona iintsilelo zethu. Uyazibona iintsilelo zethu. Uyaqonda ukuba siluthuli nje kwaye uyasithanda nangona kunjalo. Kwaye oko kubonakala ngokwenzekayo emva koko. Ngaba uYehova uthumela ingelosi ukuba iye kohlwaya uEliya? Ngaba uyamkhalimela? Ngaba umbiza njengongenamandla? Hayi, ngokuchasene noko. Ithi kwivesi 5:

Emva koko walala phantsi komthi womtshayelo. Kodwa ngequbuliso ingelosi yamchukumisa, yathi kuye: “Vuka utye.” Akujonga, entloko kuye kukho isonka esijikeleze amatye ashushuweyo kunye nejagi yamanzi. Watya, wasela, walala phantsi kwakhona. Emva kwexesha ingelosi kaYehova yabuya okwesibini, yamchukumisa, yathi: “Vuka utye, kuba uhambo luza kuba lukhulu kuwe.” (1 Kum. 19: 5-7)

Ibhayibhile ityhila ukuba ngamandla okondla, uqhubeke iintsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane. Ke yayingeyondlwaniso ilula. Kwakukho into ekhethekileyo apho. Kodwa okunomdla kukuba ingelosi imchukumise kabini. Asazi nokuba ngokwenza oko wamnika amandla akhethekileyo ukuze aqhubeke okanye yayisisenzo senceba yokwenene kumntu obuthathaka. Kodwa into esiyifundayo kule ngxelo kukuba uYehova ukhathalela umntu ngamnye kubo. Akasithandi ngokudibeneyo, usithanda ngokungafaniyo, njengokuba utata ethanda umntwana ngamnye ngendlela yakhe. Ngoko uYehova uyasithanda kwaye uya kusixhasa kwanaxa sifika kwinqanaba lokufuna ukufa.
