Yiba nethemba kwiNkokeli yethu esebenzayo-uKrestu

Ngenxa yemicimbi yexesha kunye nokuthetha gwenxa endikuthatha kuxanduva olupheleleyo, nina niyizibonelelo zohlolo ezimbini zale veki Isifundo seMboniselo inqaku. Isibonelelo kukuba ufumana iiseti zamehlo ezimbini (ezintathu ngokwenene) kwisihloko esinye.]

[Ukusuka kwi-ws 10 / 18 p. I-22 -Disemba 17-23]

“Inkokeli yenu, uKrestu.” - UMateyu 23: 10

Ndiza kuphuma sengalweni. Ndisandul 'ukufunda intshayelelo yeziqendu ezine, kwaye ngaphandle kokufunda ngokuqhubekayo, ndiza kuqikelela ukuba ngelixa inqaku lithetha ngoYesu njengenkokeli yethu esebenzayo, injongo yabo yokwenene iya kuba kukuba abazalwana noodade bathembele kubunkokeli. kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo.

Ngoku, ukuthembela kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo kusengqiqweni kwiNgqina likaYehova eliqeqeshiweyo, njengoko ndakhuliswa ndinguye. Uyabona, ndafundiswa ukuba iArmagedon iyakukhokelela ekufeni ngonaphakade kwabo bonke abasemhlabeni abangakhange basithobele isilumkiso esisivakalisayo njengamaNgqina kaYehova kwihlabathi liphela. Owethu yayingumsebenzi osindisa ubomi, umsebenzi wosindiso. Ezo yayiziindaba ezimnandi esasishumayela ngazo. Uluvo esasiludlulisa lwalusithi, "Simamele kwaye ufumane ithuba elihle kubomi obungunaphakade.[i]  Sigxotha, kwaye ukuba iArmagedon ikubambile uphila, uyimpimpi! ”

Ngenxa yokuba ubomi baphakade ezibhiliyoni zabantu busemngciphekweni, siyaqondakala isizathu sokuba amaNgqina evakalelwa ukuba kungomzamo olungeleleneyo onamandla onke onokuphumeza lo msebenzi mkhulu kangaka, ongasokuze uphinde uphinde.[ii]

Masicace kwinto enye: Umsebenzi wokushumayela wamaNgqina kaYehova, umyalezo wawo kunye nolindelo lwabo lwento eza kwenzeka eArmagedon, ayisekelwanga eBhayibhileni. Ingcaciso yamadoda. Iindaba ezilungileyo iBhayibhile ethetha ngazo kukuhlanganiswa kolawulo olwenziwa ngabantwana bakaThixo abathanjiswe ngomoya. Ngabo, usindiso loluntu luphela luya kufezekiswa ngexesha loLawulo lukaMesiya eliwaka. Ukufundwa ngononophelo kwabaseRoma 1,000: 8-1 kukhokelela kwisiphelo esingenakuphepheka, ucinga ukuba umntu akanayo i-ajenda eya kwenza umsebenzi oxakekileyo kwiqela elithobelayo elifikelela kwizigidi.

Ewe kuya kubakho umsitho onje ngeArmagedon kodwa yinto enye kwinkqubo yosindiso. Yimfazwe uKristu ayilwayo neentlanga ukucoca indlela yolawulo lwakhe lobulungisa phezu koluntu. (Dan 2:44; ISi 16: 13-16)

Nangona kunjalo, akukho nto ibonisa ukuba iya kuba ngumgwebo wokugqibela kubo bonke abantu abaphilayo ngelo xesha. AmaNgqina alisebenzisa ngendlela engeyiyo ixesha lomzekeliso weegusha kunye neebhokhwe ukuya eArmagedon, kodwa eneneni, uSuku loMgwebo, nokuba kungaphakathi kwenkolo yesayensi, lixesha elilandela iArmagedon kwaye ifikelela kwiminyaka ye-1,000.

Emva kokuba enze nayiphi na indlela yokucinga yamaNgqina kaYehova kwinkolelo yawo esisiseko yokuba kufuneka umbutho, umntu kufuneka aqale azise kwisiseko esingalunganga nesichasene nesibhalo apho isekwe khona: imfuneko yokuba amaNgqina ashumayele kwihlabathi lonke ukusindisa amawaka ezigidi kwezigidi. ukulahlwa okungapheliyo

Ngenxa yokucinga kwabo, kulula ukuqonda ukuba uMbutho ungatyibilika njani kwiimfundiso ezisekwe ku- "givens" ngaphandle kokufunda. Bathetha nje into ngokungqalileyo, ngaphandle kobungqina, besazi ukuba umhlambi uyakuyitya uyigqibe.

Isiteyitimenti sokuqala esingumanga "esinikiweyo" sifumaneka kumhlathi 4.

'Njengokuba intlangano kaThixo ihambela phambili ngokukhawuleza, ngaba sinezizathu ezifanelekileyo zokuthembela kuYesu njengeNkokeli yethu emiselweyo?'

Ubungqina bokuba uMbutho "awuhambeli phambili ngokukhawuleza". Ngokuchasene noko, enyanisweni. Kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, sibone ukuphela kweeprojekthi ezininzi zokwakha. Endaweni yoko, kuthengiswa amawaka eeholo zoBukumkani, kuze kungeniswe imali kwikomkhulu. Sibonile abasebenzi behlabathi lonke besikwa ngama-25%, kwaye amanqanaba oovulindlela abakhethekileyo ancitshisiwe. Akukho nanye kwezi ebubungqina boMbutho "ohamba phambili ngokukhawuleza". Ngapha koko, ngoku ibonakala ngathi ibuyela umva.

Ukukhokelela abantu bakaThixo eKanan

Isiqendu 5 ukuya kwisi-8 sithetha ngemiyalelo engacacanga enikwe amaSirayeli nguYoshuwa ngaphambi kokuthinjwa kweYeriko. Ngaba abantu babenokuyithemba into yokuba uYehova amisele uYoshuwa njengenkokeli yabo? Kutheni kufuneka babe nazo? Ewe, qaphela ukuba babeyibonile imimangaliso emininzi kuMoses kwaye ngoku uMosisi wayedlulisele isigunyaziso kuYoshuwa. Ukongeza, babewubonile ummangaliso weYordan usoma ukuvumela ukuba badlule. (UYoshuwa 3:13)

Unaloo nto engqondweni, cinga ngesigqibo esiya kwenziwa liQumrhu Elilawulayo.

Yintoni esinokuyifunda kule ngxelo? Ngamanye amaxesha asinakuziqonda ngokupheleleyo izizathu zamanyathelo amatsha abekwe ngumbutho. Umzekelo, sisenokuba ekuqaleni bekuthandabuza ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ze-elektroniki kufundisiso lobuqu, kubulungiseleli nakwiintlanganiso. Ngoku sinokubona izibonelelo zokuzisebenzisa ukuba kunokwenzeka. Xa sibona iziphumo ezintle zenkqubela enjalo ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo esisenokuba sinawo, siyakhula elukholweni nasebunyeni. (Isiqendu se-9)

Oku "kunikiweyo" apha kukuba kukho unxibelelwano phakathi kukaJoshua eYeriko kunye neQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova. Baqala ngokwenyani yeZibhalo bonke bayayamkela-ukuba uYoshuwa wonyulwa nguThixo-kwaye bayolula ngaphandle kobungqina kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo.

Izinto ziye zifikelele kwinqanaba lokuqaqamba xa uthelekisa iphulo lokulwa neYeriko kunye nokusebenzisa izixhobo ze-elektroniki ezintlanganisweni nasentsimini.

IQumrhu Elilawulayo liyakukholelwa ukuba kanye njengokuba amaSirayeli ayenokuyithandabuza imiyalelo kaJoshua, ke ngoko abazalwana bathandabuza ukusetyenziswa kweefowuni kunye neetafile, kodwa ekugqibeleni, konke kusebenze ngokuchanekileyo. Senzelwe ukuba sifundele kule nto umbono wokuba uYehova ukhokela uMbutho kwaye bahlala behleli phambili, bekhokela kweyona nto ilungileyo. Kubonakala ngathi bayalibala ukuba kwakungekude kwakudala ukuba singavunyelwa ukuba sisebenzise iikhompyuter kuyo nantoni na enxulumene nebandla. Xa ekugqibeleni bangena kwaye benza iJW.org emva koko baqala ukuvelisa IMboniselo ngezinto ze-elektroniki, ndiye ndaqala ukusebenzisa i-iPad yam xa ndifunda iSifundo seMboniselo qho ngeveki. Nangona kunjalo, ndaxelelwa nguMveleli weSekethe ukuba andivumelekanga ukuba ndenze njalo. Nantsi ikhonkco kwiNovemba 8, 2011 Ileta eya kwiiBhodi zabadala kusetyenziso lwezixhobo ezinjalo. Isicatshulwa esifanelekileyo sifundeka ngolu hlobo:

"... ithebhulethi ye-elektroniki okanye esinye isixhobo esifanayo asifanelanga ukusetyenziswa eqongeni, njengokufunda iziqendu IMboniselo Ukufunda, ukuqhuba iintlanganiso, okanye ukwenza intetho ngalo naluphi na uhlobo… kuvakala ukuba ukusebenzisa i-elektroniki ithebhulethi eqongeni kunokubangela abanye ukuba bazive ukuba nabo kufuneka batyale imali kweso sixhobo. Ukongeza, ekubeni abazalwana abaninzi bengakwazi ukuthenga isixhobo esinjalo, ukusebenzisa enye eqongeni kunokubangela “ucalucalulo” okanye kubonakale ngathi 'kukuqhayisa ngezinto zobu bomi.'

Kwisithuba seminyaka emibini, eso sigqibo sasirhoxisiwe. Ngesiquphe, abazalwana noodade ababengekabinaso “isixhobo esinjalo” babesalathiswa ukuba basisebenzise kubulungiseleli basentsimini. Inokujika njani “into yokuqhayisa ngezinto zobu bomi” iye — kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweminyaka emibini — ibe sisixhobo esivunyiweyo sokushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo ngokwamaNgqina kaYehova? Kwaye ngaba inyani yokuba abavakalisi ngoku bekhuthazwa ukuba basebenzise iifowuni ezibiza kakhulu kunye neetafile kubulungiseleli kuthetha ukuba imeko yezemali yamaNgqina ahlwempuzekileyo yayingasathathelwa ngqalelo?

Umbuzo ofanelekileyo ngulo, 'Ngaba le Flip Flip isebenza njani njengomzekelo olinganayo nemfundiso kaThixo eyanikwa nguYoshuwa kumaSirayeli malunga nokuhlaselwa kwelizwe lesithembiso?'

Ubunkokeli bukaKristu kwinkulungwane yokuqala

“Unikiwe” bayaqhubeka benyuka.

Malunga neminyaka eyi-13 emva kokuguquka kukaCornelius, amanye amakholwa angamaJuda ayesakhuthaza ulwaluko. (Izenzo 15: 1, 2) Xa kwabakho impikiswano kwa-Antiyokwe, kwalungiselelwa ukuba uPawulos awise lo mthetho kwiqumrhu elilawulayo eYerusalem. Kodwa ngubani owayesenza olo lwalathiso? UPawulos wathi: “Ndinyuke ngenxa yesityhilelo.” Ngokucacileyo, uKristu walathisa imicimbi ukuze ibhunga elilawulayo liphelise imbambano. (Isiqendu se-10)

Oku kucingela ukuba kukho iqumrhu elilawulayo lenkulungwane yokuqala.[iii]  Akukho bungqina bokuba bekukho iqumrhu elinjalo elalikhokela umsebenzi owenziwa kwihlabathi lonke ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Ingxaki yolwaluko ayivelanga kwa-Antiyokwe, kodwa yaziswa ngamakholwa angamaJuda “awayevela kwelakwaYuda”. (IZe. 15: 1) Ngokusengqiqweni, oku kwakuza kuthi xa befuna ukusombulula imbambano eyayivela eYerusalem, kwakuza kufuneka baye apho eYerusalem. Abapostile babelapho, kwaye umsebenzi waqala apho, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba baba liqela elalilawula ukwanda kobuKristu ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Emva kokutshatyalaliswa kweJerusalem ukuya kuthi ga kwisiluleko saseNicea ngowama-325 CE, abukho ubungqina kwimibhalo yembali yexesha lequmrhu elilawulayo. Ngapha koko, ingcebiso yaseNicea ibonisa ukuba okwahlukileyo kwakukhona. YayingumPagane uMlawuli uConstantine onoxanduva lokwenene ekuqalekeni kwegunya eliyintloko kwicawa.

Isiqendu 11 nebhokisi ekwiphepha 24 zithetha ngemeko apho amadoda amakhulu aseYerusalem acenga uPawulos ukuba enze isiko lamaYuda ngelizama ukonwabisa amaYuda. Khange isebenze kwaye ubomi bukaPaul babekwa emngciphekweni. AmaJuda ayenziwe amaKristu ayengayithathi inkululeko awayeyinikwe nguKristu, kwaye esi simo sengqondo sanyuka saya kutsho nakumadoda amakhulu abalulekileyo.

Ukuqukumbela olu qeqeshana lokucinga, umhlathi wokugqibela phantsi kwesi sicatshulwa sombhalo uthi:

Kwabanye, kuthatha ixesha ukulungelelanisa ukucaciselwa kokuqonda. AmaKristu angamaYuda ayedinga ixesha elaneleyo lokutshintsha iimbono zawo. (Yohane 16: 12) Abanye bakufumanisa kunzima ukwamkela ukuba ulwaluko lwalungaselulo uphawu lobudlelwane obukhethekileyo noThixo. (Gen. 17: 9-12) Abanye, ngenxa yokoyika intshutshiso, babethandabuza ukuvela kumaJuda. (Gal. 6: 12) Kodwa ke, ekuhambeni kwexesha, uKrestu wanikela isikhokelo ngakumbi ngeeleta eziphefumlelweyo ezabhalwa nguPaul. — Rom. I-2: 28, 29; Gal. I-3: 23-25. (Isiqendu se-12)

Kuyinyani ukuba njengabantu, sidinga ixesha lokufumana iinyaniso ezintsha eziguqula ubomi. Kuyinyani ukuba uKristu, njengoBawo wethu, uyanyamezela. Wanika oko kwakufuneka ngokukhuthaza uPawulos nabanye ukuba babhale ngalo mbandela. Kodwa ukungaphumeleli kwinzame yokubongoza eyazisa uPawulos kolo sizi yayingengomsebenzi kaKristu.

Into esimiselwayo apha yenye "enikiweyo". UKristu waphefumlela uPawulos ukuba abhale ukuze alungise indlela acinga ngayo amaKristu. Nangona kunjalo, uPawulos wayengenguye umsunguli wokucinga okusileleyo, kodwa ulixhoba lako. U-Kristu akazange awakhuthaze amadoda amakhulu ase Yerusalem ukuba alungise iingcinga zawo eziphosakeleyo, kodwa kwasetyenziswa umntu wangaphandle. Ke, isifaniso siyasilela. Ewe, ukuba siza kwenza uthelekiso, xa iQumrhu Elilawulayo liphuma nemiyalelo efuna uhlengahlengiso okanye notshintsho olukhulu, uYesu akazukuzisebenzisa ukuzilungisa, kodwa uya kusebenzisa umntu wangaphandle.

UKristu Usakhokela Ibandla lakhe

Kuyinyani ukuba uKristu usakhokela ibandla lakhe. Okunikiweyo apha kukuba i-JW.org lelo bandla.

Xa singaziqondi ngokupheleleyo izizathu zotshintsho lombutho, kuya kuba kuhle ukuba sicamngce ngendlela uKrestu awabusebenzisa ngayo ubunkokeli bakhe mandulo. Nokuba kwakumhla kaJoshua okanye kwinkulungwane yokuqala, uKristu ebesoloko enikela ulwalathiso lobulumko lokukhusela abantu bakaThixo xa bebonke, ukomeleza ukholo lwabo, kunye nokugcina umanyano phakathi kwabakhonzi bakaThixo. (Isiqendu se-13)

Zininzi izinto eziphosakeleyo ngalo mhlathi kangangokuba andazi ukuba mandiqale ngaphi. Okokuqala, bathi utshintsho olwenziwe nguMbutho kubunkokheli bukaKristu. Sivele safunda ileta eyalela abazalwana ukuba bangasebenzisi iicwecwe eqongeni kwaye isithi ukusetyenziswa kwabo kunokujongwa njengokuqhayisa ngezinto zabo zokuphila kwaye kukhuthaze abo bahluphekayo ukuba basebenzise imali abangenayo ukuze bangaziva ngathi babekwiklasi esezantsi. Emva koko sabona ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo ubuyisiwe. Ke, ukuba zombini ezi nguqu 'ibinguKristu owayesebenzisa ubunkokeli bakhe', kufuneka sityhole uKristu ngale nto. Ayinakulunga, kuba uKristu akazenzi iimpazamo zobudenge. Ke, xa indawo efana nale iziswa njengomceli mngeni, iQumrhu Elilawulayo linika ukuqonda kwangaphambili kwiimpazamo esizenzayo ngenxa yokungafezeki komntu. Kulungile, kodwa luluphi utshintsho olusisiphumo sokungafezeki komntu? Eyokuqala, okanye eyesibini? Ngaba uKristu wayebandakanyekile kwenye, kodwa abantu kwenye? Kwaye ukuba kunjalo, nguwuphi uKristu owayesalathisa ukuba simlandele? Ngaba uKristu wayesixelela ukuba singasebenzisi iitafile, kodwa ngenxa yokungafezeki komntu, eli Qumrhu lilawulayo libaleka phambi kukaKristu lisixelela ukuba singamthobeli kwaye sizisebenzise? Okanye ngaba akukho lwalathiso luvela kuKristu, kodwa luphuma ebantwini?

Emva koko, ngaba bathetha ngolwalathiso lukaKristu ngemihla kaYoshuwa? UKristu uthetha umthanjiswa, kwaye uYesu akazange abe nguKristu de wabhaptizwa, kwakudala emva kokuba uYoshuwa efile. Ngapha koko, yayiyingelosi eyatyelela uYoshuwa. UYesu akazange abe yingelosi nje. UPawulos uthi:

“Umzekelo, kwakwenye ingelosi awathi kuyo uThixo:“ Ungunyana wam; namhlanje ndiye ndaba nguyihlo ”? Abuye athi: Ndiya kuba nguyise wakhe, yena abe ngunyana wam? Kodwa xa ephinda ezisa izibulo kumhlaba omiweyo, uthi: "Kwaye zonke iingelosi zikaThixo mazinqule kuye." (Heb 1: 5, 6)

Apha, uPawulos wenza umahluko ocacileyo phakathi kwazo zonke iingelosi noNyana kaThixo. Emva koko ubonakalisa ukuba iingelosi zazisetyenziselwa ukunxibelelana namadoda athembekileyo akudala, azokubandakanya uYoshuwa, kodwa ukuba amaKristu afumane ulwalathiso kuNyana kaThixo.

“Kuba ukuba ilizwi elathethwa ngezithunywa zezulu laqina, kwaye lonke ukreqo nesenzo sokungathobeli safumana imbuyekezo ngokuhambelana nokusesikweni; singabalekela njani ukuba asilushiyanga usindiso lobungangamsha kangangokuba yaqala ukuthethwa [ngeNkosi yethu] kwaye yaqinisekiswa kuthi ngabo basivayo… ”(Heb 2: 2, 3)

Sikwisiqendu se-12 kwaye kukho okungakumbi okuzayo. Ngoku siza kwingxelo yokugqibela:

U-Kristu ebesoloko enikela ulwalathiso lobulumko lokukhusela abantu bakaThixo xa bebonke, ukomeleza ukholo lwabo, kunye nokugcina umanyano phakathi kwabakhonzi bakaThixo.

Qaphela ukuba ujoliso alushenxanga kuMbutho. UYesu ukhusela abantu bakaThixo “xa bebonke”. Enye indlela yokwenza amagama oku-ngokuhambelana nomyalezo The Inqaku leMagazini liyenza ngokucacileyo le nto: 'U-Krestu uhlala enikela ulwalathiso lobulumko lokukhusela uMbutho, ukomeleza ukholo loMbutho kunye nokugcina umanyano ngaphakathi kuMbutho.'

Iphi inkxaso yoku kwiZibhalo? Ukuba siza kwakha ubuhlobo noThixo ngoYesu, kufuneka sibe nembono yobuqu. UYesu usikhusela ngokukodwa, hayi xa sisonke. Womeleza ukholo lwethu kumntu ngamnye. Ngokubhekisele kubunye, konke kulungile kwaye kulungile, kodwa uYesu akaze asiyalele ukuba sigcine ubunye ngexabiso lenyaniso. Ngapha koko, waxela kwangaphambili okwahlukileyo.

“Musani ukucinga ukuba ndizise uxolo emhlabeni; Andize kuzisa uxolo, kodwa ingekuko. Kuba ndiza kwenza ulwahlulo… ”(Mt 10: 34, 35)

Kwaye kutheni yonke intetho kaKristu, kodwa ingeyiyo ekaYesu. “UKristu” ubonakala izihlandlo ezingama-24 kweli nqaku. "UYehova" ubonakala izihlandlo ezili-12. Kodwa "uYesu" kuphela 6! Ukuba uzama ukumisela ukuhlonipha igunya, ke uthetha ngendima egunyazisiweyo yomntu odlalayo, yiyo loo nto ubhekisa kubo ngesihloko sakhe. Ukuba ufuna ukwakha ubudlelwane bobuqu, usebenzisa igama labo.

Ukuphindwa okufunyenwe kumhlathi 16 kunzima kancinci ukukuthatha:

Ukongeza ekunyamekeleni iintswelo zethu zokomoya, uKrestu usinceda ukuba sihlale sigxile kowona msebenzi ubalulekileyo owenziwayo emhlabeni namhlanje. (Funda uMark 13: 10.) UAndré, osandula ukumiselwa njengomdala, ebesoloko elumkele utshintsho kwindlela eya kwintlangano kaThixo. Uthi: "Unciphiso kubasebenzi beofisi yesebe lisikhumbuza ngokungxamisekileyo kwamaxesha kunye nemfuneko yokugxila kumandla ethu ekushumayeleni."

Baqhuba befumana imali encinci kwaye endaweni yokuyivuma kwaye kufuneka bachaze ukuba iyaphi imali, babeka ubuxoki kwimeko leyo. Ubuxoki kuyo yonke le nto bubonakala kwinto yokuba baphinde bakhulula amanqwanqwa oovulindlela abakhethekileyo behla baya emathanjeni? Aba ngabantu abakwaziyo ukushumayela kwiindawo ezimbalwa abanokufikelela kuzo. Benza njalo kuba baxhaswe ngemali nguMbutho. Ke ukuba kufuneka sigxile "ekushumayeleni", kutheni sinciphise kakhulu abashumayeli bethu ababalaseleyo nabanemveliso?

Ukongeza, ukuba ibijolise ekushumayeleni, kutheni ungagxothi abasebenzi baseBheteli abadala kunabo bakudala. Ezi zinemicimbi yezempilo kunye namandla? Kuba sele bengasebenzi kangangeminyaka emininzi, baya kuba nengxaki yokufumana umsebenzi onokubenza babe nenxaxheba kubungqina bexesha elizeleyo. Kutheni ungabavumeli bonke abantwana ukuba bahambe; abo banonyana abancinci? Basenamandla, basempilweni kwaye banomvuzo wokuba ngabahambisi bevangeli bexesha elizeleyo.

Kubonakala ngathi uMbutho uzama ukubeka impilo entle kwimeko embi. Le nzame iya kuqhubeka kwinqaku leveki ezayo.
