Indlela Iingcuka Ezinobuqhophololo Ziluchitha Ngayo Ubudlelwane Bakho NoKristu Ngaphantsi Kwesigqubuthelo Sothando

Okothusayo kukuba, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova ligqibe kwelokuba lisebenzise usasazo lukaNovemba 2023 kwi-JW.org ukukhulula iintetho ezine kwiNtlanganiso yoNyaka ka-Oktobha 2023 yeWatchtower, Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Asikazigubungeli ezi ntetho kwijelo leBeroean Pickets, ngoko ke ukuba neentetho ezikhutshwe ngaphambi kwexesha kunesiqhelo kufanelekile kuthi, kuba kusisindisa kwiinzame zokuvakalisa amazwi esijelo sethu sesiRashiya, isiJamani, isiPolish, isiPhuthukezi, isiRomania, nesiFrentshi. .

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba singene kuhlolisiso lwethu lwezi ntetho zine, ndifuna ukunifundela isilumkiso esibaluleke gqitha uYesu awasinika sona. Wasixelela ukuba “balumkeleni abaprofeti ababuxoki, abeza kuni ngezambatho zeegusha, ngaphakathi ke beziingcuka eziqwengayo. Nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo. ( Mateyu 7:15, 16 NWT )

Ngothando uYesu wasinika isitshixo sokufanisa amadoda aziingcuka azenza izimvu ukuze afihle ubunjalo bawo neentshukumisa zokuzingca. Ngoku usenokuba ungumProtestanti, umKatolika, umBhaptizi okanye uMormoni, okanye uliNgqina likaYehova. Usenokungabajongi abalungiseleli bakho, ababingeleli, abalungiseleli, okanye abadala uze ubacinge njengeengcuka eziguqulwe njengezimvu ezithambileyo nezimsulwa. Kodwa ungahambi ngokwembonakalo yabo. Basenokunxiba imiwunduzo yobufundisi etyebileyo, engacocekanga, okanye banxibe iisuti ezibiza imali eninzi ezenziwe ngokwesiko nezemidlalo ezihombisayo. Ngayo yonke loo nto icwebezelayo kunye nombala, kunzima ukuyibona ngaphaya kwayo kwinto elele phantsi. Yiyo loo nto uYesu wathi masijonge kwiziqhamo zabo.

Ngoku, ndandidla ngokucinga ukuba “iziqhamo zabo” zibhekisela kuphela kwimisebenzi yabo, izinto abazenzayo. Kodwa xa ndiqwalasela intlanganiso yonyaka yalo nyaka, ndiye ndabona ukuba iziqhamo zabo nazo zimele ziquke amazwi abo. Ngaba iBhayibhile ayithethi ‘ngesiqhamo somlomo’ ( Hebhere 13:15 )? Akatsho na uLuka ukuba “umlomo uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo.” ( Luka 6:45 )? Yonke into ezalise intliziyo yomntu ngulo uqhuba amazwi akhe, sisiqhamo somlomo wakhe. Inokuba sisiqhamo esihle, okanye isiqhamo esibolileyo kakhulu.

UYesu usiyalela ukuba sisoloko sibaphaphele abaprofeti bobuxoki, iingcuka eziqwengayo ezizenze izimvu ezingenabungozi. Ngoko, masenze oko. Masivavanye amazwi esiwava kwizithethi kwintlanganiso yonyaka ngokunikela ingqalelo ekhethekileyo kwi isiqhamo somlomo wabo. Akuyomfuneko ukuba sidlulele nangaphezu kwamazwi entshayelelo kaChristopher Mavor, uMncedi weKomiti Yenkonzo.

Nge-Okthobha 7^th iWatch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania yaqhuba intlanganiso yayo yonyaka. Ngokuqhelekileyo ubuya kubukela le nxalenye yocwangciso ngoJanuwari 2024. Noko ke, ngoku uyakwazi ukunandipha iintetho ezine kule nyanga kaNovemba 2023. Ezi ntetho zilungiselelwe ngokukhethekileyo ngolwalathiso lweQumrhu Elilawulayo. Bafuna ukuba abazalwana abasehlabathini lonke bakuqonde oko kuqulethweyo ngokukhawuleza kangangoko kunokwenzeka.

Ngaba akumangalisi ukuba izigidi zamaNgqina kaYehova akufuneki ukuba zilinde iinyanga ezintathu ezipheleleyo ukuze zifumane ithuba lokufunda oko kuphela kwabambalwa abanelungelo abakwaziyo ngo-Oktobha?

Ngaba ubusazi ukuba igama elithi “ilungelo” asilogama esiza kulifumana eBhayibhileni? Kwi NguNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha, ifakwe izihlandlo ezithandathu, kodwa kwimeko nganye, xa kujongwa i-interlinear, ubani unokubona ukuba asiyonguqulelo engqinelanayo okanye inguqulelo yentsingiselo yantlandlolo.

Kulo naliphi na ihlelo lonqulo, ibinzana elithi “ilungelo” lisetyenziselwa ukudala ucalucalulo kunye nomoya wokhuphiswano. Ndikhumbula ndisiva iintetho ezindibanweni zincoma ilungelo lenkonzo yobuvulindlela. Abazalwana babedla ngokuthi, “Ndinelungelo lokukhonza njengomdala,” okanye, “intsapho yam ibe nelungelo lokukhonza apho imfuneko inkulu khona.” Sasisoloko sikhuthazwa ukuba sizabalazele amalungelo angakumbi kwiindibano zesiphaluka nezesithili, nto leyo eyaphumela ekubeni abaninzi bagoduke bedandathekile yaye bevakalelwa kukuba abenzi ngokwaneleyo ukukholisa uThixo ngokupheleleyo.

Ngoko, isibakala sokuba abanye sele beluvile lonke ucwangciso “ngokukhanya okutsha” ngoxa inkoliso imele ilinde de kube nguJanuwari igqalwe njengelungelo elikhethekileyo, kodwa ngoku banikela inxalenye encinane yentlanganiso yonyaka eza kuqhutywa. kubonwa njengelungiselelo lothando.

Ngoku, kwintetho yokuqala ekhutshwa kolu kusasazo lukaNovemba nenikelwa lelinye lamalungu eQumrhu Elilawulayo elamiselwa ngoJanuwari walo nyaka, uGage Fleegle. Ekuqaleni, xa ndabona intlanganiso yonyaka epheleleyo eyayichazelwe uluntu, ndandiza kutsiba iintetho eziliqela, engomnye wabo. Ingcamango yam yayikukugxila kuphela kwezo ntetho zinikelwayo ukukhanya okutsha.

Nangona kunjalo, emva kokumamela yonke intetho kaFleegle, ndabona ukuba kubalulekile ukuyihlalutya kuba izisa isiphene esikhulu kunqulo lweJW. Esi siphako siye sabangela abaninzi bazibuza enoba amaNgqina kaYehova angamaKristu ngokwenene kusini na. Ndiyazi ukuba oko kuvakala ngathi yingxelo engaqhelekanga ukuyenza, kodwa masithathele ingqalelo ezinye iinyani kuqala.

Intetho kaFleegle iphathelele uthando lukaYehova uThixo. Andazi ukuba yintoni esentliziyweni kaGage Fleegle, kodwa ekumbukeleni ethetha, ubonakala echukumiseke kakhulu ngumbandela wothando. Ubonakala enyanisekile. Nam, ndavakalelwa ngendlela awayevakalelwa ngayo xa ndandikholelwa ukuba amaNgqina kaYehova anenyaniso. Ndandikhuliswe ukuze ndinikel’ ingqalelo kuYehova uThixo, kungekhona kuYesu. Andiyi kukuthobela kuyo yonke intetho yakhe, kodwa ndiya kukuxelela ukuba into efanele igqame kuwe, ukuba uzigqala ungumKristu, iya kuba ngumlinganiselo phakathi kwezihlandlo abhekisa ngazo kuYehova kunoYesu. .

Ndinombhalo opheleleyo wentetho kaGage Fleegle kwaye ndiye ndakwazi ukukhangela igama elithi “Yehova” nelithi “Yesu.” Ndafumanisa ukuba kwintshumayelo yakhe yemizuzu engama-22, wasebenzisa igama likaThixo izihlandlo ezingama-83, kodwa xa kwafika kuYesu, wabhekisela kuye kuphela izihlandlo ezili-12. Ke, "uYehova" wayesetyenziswa malunga namaxesha ayi-8 rhoqo "njengoYesu".

Ngenxa yokufuna ukwazi, ndaphanda ngendlela efanayo ndisebenzisa iinkupho ezintathu zamva nje zoHlelo Lokufunda lweMboniselo ndaza ndafumana umlinganiselo ofanayo. Igama elithi “Yehova” lenzeka izihlandlo ezingama-646, ngoxa uYesu wabakho izihlandlo ezingama-75 kuphela. Ndikhumbula kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ndizisa oku kungangqinelani kwingqalelo yomhlobo wokwenene owayefudula esebenza kwiBheteli yaseBrooklyn. Wandibuza ukuba yintoni ephosakeleyo ngokugxininisa igama likaYehova kunelikaYesu. Akazange ayibone ingongoma. Ngoko, ndathi xa ujonga iZibhalo zamaKristu, uya kufumana okwahlukileyo koko. KwanakwiNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha efakela igama likaThixo apho lingekho khona kwimibhalo-ngqangi yesiGrike, igama likaYesu lisalodlula igama likaYehova izihlandlo eziliqela.

Impendulo yakhe yathi, “Eric, le ncoko indenza ndingakhululekanga.” Awukhululekanga!? Khawufan’ ucinge. Wayengasafuni ukuthetha ngayo kwakhona.

Uyabona, iNgqina likaYehova aliyi kubona nto iphosakeleyo ngokunikela ingqalelo epheleleyo kuYehova nasekuyijongeni phantsi indima nokubaluleka kukaYesu. Kodwa nangona oko kusenokubonakala kulungile kubo ngokwembono yabantu, eyona nto ibalulekileyo koko uYehova uThixo afuna sikwenze. Asimthandi uThixo ngendlela yethu, kodwa indlela yakhe. Asimnquli ngendlela yethu, kodwa ngendlela yakhe. Ubuncinane, siyakwenza ukuba sifuna ukumkholisa.

Ukuba iGage Fleegle inombono ongeyiyo ibonakala ngelinye igama elibaluleke kakhulu elithe lasilela ukulisebenzisa. Ngapha koko, yenzeka kabini kuphela, kwaye nangona kunjalo, ayikaze ibe kwimeko efanelekileyo okanye ukusetyenziswa. Leliphi igama elo? Ngaba unokuthelekelela? Ligama elivela kangangamakhulukhulu kwiZibhalo zamaKristu.

Andiyi kukugcina kwisuspence. Igama alisebenzisa kabini kuphela lelithi “bawo” yaye akaze alisebenzise ukubhekisela kulwalamano lomKristu noThixo. Ngoba kutheni? Kuba akafuni abaphulaphuli bakhe bacinge ngokuba ngabantwana bakaThixo, ekuphela kwethemba losindiso elashunyayelwa nguYesu. Hayi! Ufuna bacinge ngoYehova, kungekhona njengoBawo wabo, kodwa njengomhlobo nje. IQumrhu Elilawulayo lishumayela ukuba ezinye izimvu zisindiswa njengabahlobo bakaThixo, kungekhona abantwana bakhe. Kakade ke, oku akuchasekanga kwaphela.

Ke, makhe sihlole intetho kaFleegle sicinga ngaloo ngqiqo ukuze sisikhokele.

Ukuba umamela yonke into ethethwa nguGage Fleegle, uya kuphawula ukuba uchitha phantse lonke ixesha lakhe kwiZibhalo zesiHebhere. Oko kusengqiqweni ekubeni engafuni ukunikela ingqalelo kuthando olwabonakaliswa nguYesu Kristu, imbonakaliso egqibeleleyo yothando nozuko lukaYise. Kunzima ukwenza oko ukuba uchitha ixesha elininzi kwiZibhalo zesiGrike. Noko ke, ubhekisela kancinane kwiZibhalo zesiGrike. Ngokomzekelo, ubhekisela kwixesha awathi uYesu wabuzwa ngalo owona myalelo mkhulu kumthetho kaMoses, yaye ekuphenduleni uGage ucaphula kwincwadi yeVangeli kaMarko:

Marko 12:29, 30 : UYesu waphendula owona myalelo wokuqala okanye owona mthetho ubalulekileyo, owona myalelo mkhulu ulapha, Sirayeli, uYehova, uThixo wethu nguYehova mnye. Uze umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangamandla akho ephela.”

Ngoku, andiqondi ukuba nabani na kuthi angayithatha loo nto, akunjalo? Kodwa kuthetha ukuthini ukuthanda uBawo wethu ngentliziyo, ngengqondo, ngomphefumlo nangamandla ethu ephela? UGage uyacacisa:

Kaloku, uYesu wabonisa ukuba ukuthanda uThixo kufuna okungakumbi kunemvakalelo nje yothando. UYesu wayibethelela into yokuba simele simthande ngokupheleleyo uThixo ngentliziyo yethu iphela, ngomphefumlo wethu uphela, ngengqondo yethu iphela, nangamandla ethu ephela. Ngaba loo nto ishiya nantoni na? Amehlo ethu, iindlebe zethu? Izandla zethu? Ewe, amanqaku okufunda kwindinyana yama-30 asinceda ukuba siqonde ukuba oku kubandakanya iimvakalelo, iminqweno kunye neemvakalelo zethu. Kuquka amandla ethu engqondo namandla engqiqo. Kubandakanya amandla ethu omzimba nawengqondo. Ewe, sonke, yonke into esiyiyo, simele sizinikele kuthando lwethu, kuYehova. Ukuthanda uThixo kumele kulawule ubomi bomntu. Akukho nto ishiywe ngaphandle. "

Kwakhona, yonke into ayithethayo ivakala ilungile. Kodwa injongo yethu apha kukuhlola enoba siphulaphula umalusi onobubele okanye umprofeti wobuxoki. Oko kuthethwa nguFleegle namanye amalungu eQumrhu Elilawulayo kule ntlanganiso yonyaka kulindeleke ukuba kugqalwe njengenyaniso evela kuYehova uThixo. Ngapha koko, zizibanga zilijelo likaThixo lonxibelelwano.

Apha uFleegle ucaphula kwiSibhalo kwaye uthetha ngokuthanda uThixo ngomphefumlo uphela. Ngoku kufika ixesha laxa eya kuwasebenzisa loo mazwi ngendlela esebenzisekayo. Imilebe yakhe sele iza kuvelisa isiqhamo awathi uYesu masijonge. Sekumbovu ukuba sibone ukuba yintoni ekhuthaza iQumrhu Elilawulayo, kuba iBhayibhile isixelela ukuba ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo, umlomo uyathetha. Ngaba siya kulibona iQumrhu Elilawulayo njengabalusi bokomoya bokwenyaniso, okanye njengeengcuka ezinxibe kakuhle ezizifihle? Masibukele kwaye sibone:

Kaloku, kamsinya nje emva kokugxininisa owona myalelo mkhulu size kwakhona sicinge ngoYesu. Ulapho etempileni. Kungekudala emva kokugxininisa owona myalelo mkhulu, uYesu ukhanyisa imizekelo emibi nemihle yokuthanda uThixo. Okokuqala, wabagxeka kabukhali ababhali nabaFarisi ngokuzenza ngathi bayamthanda uThixo. Ngoku, ukuba ufuna ukugwetywa okuzeleyo kufumaneka kuMateyu isahluko 23. Abo bahanahanisi, banikela kwanabali-10.^th okanye isishumi semifuno emincinane, kodwa bayityeshela imibandela enzima ngakumbi yokusesikweni nenceba nokuthembeka.”

Ukuthi ga, kuhle. Iinkokeli zamaNgqina kaYehova zibonisa ubundlavini bababhali nabaFarisi bomhla kaYesu ababezenza amalungisa kodwa bengenaluvelwano ngabanye abantu. Babethanda ukuthetha ngedini, kodwa kungekhona inceba. Babengayi kwenza nto ingako ukuthomalalisa ukubandezeleka kwabangamahlwempu. Babezingca, benebhongo ngesikhundla sabo seofisi yaye bekhuselekile nezikhongozelo zabo zobutyebi ezizaliswe yimali. Makhe sive ukuba iFleegle ithini ngokulandelayo:

“Yayingumzekelo ombi lowo. Kodwa emva koko uYesu wanikela ingqalelo kumzekelo obalaseleyo wokuthanda uThixo. Ukuba uselapho kuMarko isahluko 12, phawula ukuqala kwindinyana 41 .

“Kwaye uYesu wahlala phantsi ekhangele kwizikhongozelo zobuncwane waza wabona indlela isihlwele esasiphosa ngayo imali kwizikhongozelo zobuncwane, yaye izityebi ezininzi zaziphosa iingqekembe ezininzi. Ngoku, kwafika umhlolokazi olihlwempu waza waphosa iingqekembe ezimbini ezincinane zexabiso elincinane kakhulu. Ebabizele kuye abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo, Inene ndithi kuni, Lo mhlolokazi ulihlwempu uphose ngaphezu kwabo bonke abaphosileyo emkhumbini wokulondoloza imali; kuba bonke baphose bethabatha kwintsalela yabo. Kodwa yena, ekusweleni kwakhe, ukhuphe yonke into abenayo yokuphila.”

Iingqekembe zomhlolokazi osweleyo zazixabisa malunga nomvuzo wemizuzu eli-15. Ukanti uYesu wayivakalisa imbono kaYise ngonqulo lwakhe. Wamncoma umbingelelo wakhe womphefumlo uphela. Sifunda ntoni?”

Ewe, Gage, sifunda ntoni? Sifunda ukuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo liye layiphosa yonke ingongoma yesifundo sikaYesu. Ngaba iNkosi yethu ithetha ngokwenza idini lomphefumlo uphela? Ngaba ude asebenzise igama elithi “umbingelelo”? Ngaba usixelela ukuba kwanokuba umhlolokazi akanakutya kokondla yena nabantwana bakhe, uYehova usafuna imali yakhe?

Leyo yimeko yoMbutho, kubonakala ngathi.

Ukuba iinkokeli zamaNgqina kaYehova zizama ukukukhanyela oku, ngoko zibuze isizathu sokuba zingawulandeli umzekelo wamaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala?

“Unqulo oluhlambulukileyo nolungadyobhekanga ngokwembono kaThixo noBawo wethu lulo olu: ukuvelela iinkedama nabahlolokazi embandezelweni yabo, nokuzigcina ungenabala kulo ihlabathi.” ( Yakobi 1:27 )

Loo maKristu enkulungwane yokuqala aseka ilungiselelo lothando lokunyamekela abahlolokazi abasweleyo neenkedama. UPawulos uthetha noTimoti ngaloo nto kwenye yeencwadi zakhe. ( 1 Timoti 5:9, 10 )

Ngaba ibandla lamaNgqina kaYehova linelungiselelo elifanayo lothando lokunceda amahlwempu? Akunjalo. Abanalungiselelo kwaphela. Phofu ke, ukuba ibandla lasekuhlaleni belizama ukuseka into enjalo, bebeya kuxelelwa ngumveleli wesiphaluka ukuba imibutho yesisa eqhutywa libandla ayivumelekanga. Oku ndikwazi ngokusuka kumava obuqu. Ndizamile ukuququzelela inkongozelo yosapho olusweleyo kwinqanaba lebandla kwaye ndavalwa yi-CO indixelela ukuba uMbutho awukuvumeli oko.

Ukuze sibazi abantu ngeziqhamo zabo, asihloli kuphela izenzo okanye izenzo zabo, kodwa kwanamazwi abo, kuba umlomo uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo. ( Mateyu 12:34 ) Apha, sineQumrhu Elilawulayo elithetha ngothando nezigidi zamaNgqina kaYehova. Kodwa zithetha ngantoni kanye kanye? Imali! Bafuna ukuba umhlambi wabo uxelise umzekelo womhlolokazi olihlwempu uze unikele ngezinto zabo ezixabisekileyo! Nika kude kube buhlungu. Baya kwandula ke babonise uthando lwabo ngoThixo ibe uYehova uya kuphinda abathande. Nguwo lo myalezo.

Isibakala sokuba iQumrhu Elilawulayo liqhubeka nokusebenzisa esi sicatshulwa ukuze likhuthaze umhlambi walo ukuba liphe, liphe, lifanele lisibonise ukuba liyayazi into eliyenzayo. Ngoba? Kaloku, khumbula ukuba uGage Fleegle wasixelela ukuba sifunde uMateyu isahluko 23 ukuze sibone indlela ababengendawo nabanyoluke ngayo ababhali nabaFarisi. Wandula ke ngokwahlukileyo koko, wasifundela kuMarko 12:41 , encoma iimpawu ezintle zomhlolokazi osweleyo. Kodwa kutheni engazange afunde iindinyana ezimbalwa emva kuMarko 12 ngababhali nabaFarisi? Isizathu sikukuba wayengafuni silubone unxulumano uYesu awayelwenza phakathi kwabaFarisi abanjengeengcuka besitya intwana yaloo mhlolokazi.

Siza kufunda iindinyana awazange akwazi ukuzifunda okanye ade azikhankanye, kwaye ndicinga ukuba uya kukwazi ukubona ukuba luhlobo luni lweziqhamo eziveliswa kule ntetho.

Masifunde kuMarko 12, kodwa endaweni yokuba siqale ku-41 njengoko wenzayo, siya kubuyela emva ku-38 kwaye sifunde ukuya kuma-44.

“Kwaye kwimfundiso yakhe wahlabela mgama wathi: “Balumkeleni ababhali abafuna ukuhambahamba ngezambatho yaye befuna imibuliso kwiindawo zemarike nezihlalo eziphambili kwizindlu zesikhungu nezona ndawo zibalaseleyo kwizidlo zangokuhlwa. Badla izindlu zabahlolokazi, kwaye ngokuqhayisa benza imithandazo emide. Aba baya kufumana umgwebo oqatha ngakumbi. Yaye wahlala phantsi ekhangele kwizikhongozelo zobuncwane waza wabona indlela isihlwele esasiphosa ngayo imali kwizikhongozelo zobuncwane, yaye izityebi ezininzi zaziphosa iingqekembe ezininzi. Ngoku kwafika umhlolokazi olihlwempu waza waphosa iingqekembe ezimbini ezincinane zexabiso elincinane kakhulu. Ngoko wababizela kuye abafundi bakhe waza wathi kubo: “Inene ndithi kuni, Lo mhlolokazi ulihlwempu uphose ngaphezu kwabo bonke abanye abaphose imali kwizikhongozelo zobuncwane. Kuba bonke baphose bethabatha kwintsalela yabo, kodwa yena, ekusweleni kwakhe, uphose yonke into abenayo, yonke abephila ngayo.”— Marko 12:38-44 .

Ngoku loo nto isinika umfanekiso-ngqondweni ongathandekiyo wababhali, abaFarisi neQumrhu Elilawulayo. Indinyana yama-40 ithi “bazidla izindlu zabahlolokazi”. Indinyana 44 ithi lo mhlolokazi “wabeka yonke into abenayo, abephila ngayo.” Wakwenza oko kuba wayeziva enyanzelekile ukwenjenjalo kuba wayenziwe ukuba avakalelwe zezo nkokeli zonqulo ukuba ngokumnika intlawulo yokugqibela—njengoko sinokutsho—wayesenza into emkholisayo uThixo. Eneneni, ezi nkokeli zonqulo zaziqwenga izindlu zabahlolokazi, njengoko uYesu esitsho.

Zibuze, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lahluke njani xa likhuthaza umbono ofanayo kwaye liyomeleza ngemifanekiso ekwiMboniselo efana nale?

Ngoko, uYesu wayengasebenzisi umnikelo womhlolokazi njengomzekelo wothando lobuKristu olufanele luxelwe ngabantu bonke. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, umongo ubonisa ukuba wayesebenzisa umnikelo wakhe njengomzekelo ocacileyo wendlela iinkokeli zonqulo ezaziqwenga ngayo izindlu zabahlolokazi neenkedama. Ukuba siza kufunda kumazwi kaYesu, sifanele siqonde ukuba xa siza kunikela ngemali, ifanele ibe yeyokunceda abo basweleyo. Liyinyaniso elokuba, uYesu nabafundi bakhe bangenelwa kwiminikelo, kodwa abazange bafune ukuba zizityebi. Kunoko, asebenzisa oko ayekufuna ukuze aqhubeke eshumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zobukumkani ngoxa esabelana nakuphi na ukugqithisela kumahlwempu nabasweleyo. Lowo ngumzekelo amaKristu okwenyaniso afanele awulandele ukuze azalisekise umthetho kaKristu. ( Galati 6:2 )

Ukuxhasa amahlwempu yayingumxholo owaqhutyelwa phambili kuwo wonke umsebenzi wokushumayela wenkulungwane yokuqala. Xa uPawulos wadibana nabathile abadumileyo eYerusalem—uYakobi, uPetros noYohane—kwaye kwagqitywa kwelokuba banikele ubulungiseleli babo kumaYuda, ngoxa uPawulos wayeza kuya kwabeeNtlanga, kwakukho umqathango omnye kuphela ababa nawo bonke. UPawulos wathi “sifanele siwakhumbule amahlwempu. Yona kanye le nto ndiye ndazabalazela ngokunyanisekileyo ukuyenza.” ( Galati 2:10 )

Andikhumbuli ndifunda ulwalathiso olufanayo oluvela kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo kuyo nayiphi na kwiileta zalo ezininzi eziya kumaqumrhu abadala. Khawufane ucinge ukuba onke amabandla ebeyalelwe ukuba asoloko ewakhumbula amahlwempu njengoko iBhayibhile isitsho. Mhlawumbi oko ngekwakwenzekile ukuba inkampani yokupapasha yeWatch Tower yayingaqweqwediswanga ngulowo ubizwa ngokuba “nguMgwebi” uRutherford, nto leyo elingana nokubhukuqa kwequmrhu.

Emva kokubamba amandla, uRutherford wenza utshintsho oluninzi olunento yokwenza neshishini laseMelika kunelo Corpus Christi, oko kukuthi, umzimba kaKristu, ibandla labathanjiswa. IQumrhu Elilawulayo, ngenxa yezizathu esiza kuzihlolisisa kwividiyo yethu elandelayo, liye lagqiba ekubeni lilushenxise olo tshintsho: imfuneko yokufaka ingxelo yenyanga yexesha elichithwe kubulungiseleli basentsimini. Oku kukhulu. Ycinge! Kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwe-100, babefuna umhlambi ukholelwe ukuba ukufaka ingxelo ngexesha lakho kumsebenzi wokushumayela kuyimfuno yothando kaYehova uThixo. Kwaye ngoku, emva kwenkulungwane yokubeka lo mthwalo emhlambini, ngequbuliso, uphelile! Kapof!!

Bazama ukucacisa olu tshintsho njengelungiselelo lothando. Yiyo ke intetho kaGage. Abazami nokucacisa indlela elinokuba lilungiselelo lothando ngayo ngoxa imfuneko yangaphambili yayikwalilungiselelo lothando. Ayinakuba zombini, kodwa kufuneka bathethe into kuba balungiselela umhlaba wokutyala olu tshintsho lubalaseleyo. Kodwa umhlaba unzima kakhulu, kuba bebehamba kuwo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo. Ewe, ngaphezu kweminyaka elikhulu, abafundi abathembekileyo besigidimi seWatch Tower Society bekufuneka banikele iingxelo rhoqo zenkonzo yasentsimini. Baxelelwa ukuba koko uYehova wayefuna bakwenze. Ngoku ngequbuliso uThixo uyitshintshile ingqondo yakhe?!

Ukuba eli lilungiselelo lothando, yayiyintoni le minyaka ilikhulu idluleyo? Ngaba lilungiselelo elingenaluthando? Ayiveli kuThixo, ngokuqinisekileyo.

Ngomhla kaYesu, yayingubani owayethwalisa umhlambi umthwalo onzima? Yayingubani owayefuna ukuthotyelwa kwemithetho engqongqo, nokubonakaliswa okubonakalayo nokubonakalayo kwemisebenzi yokuzincama?

Nonke niyayazi impendulo. UYesu wabagxeka ababhali nabaFarisi esithi: “Babopha imithwalo enzima, bayibeke emagxeni abantu, kodwa bona abafuni kuyishukumisa nangomnwe wabo.” ( Mateyu 23:4 )

URutherford wayekhupha iicolporteurs zakhe (ngoku, oovulindlela) bedlala amacwecwe akhe yaye bethengisa iincwadi zakhe kuzo zonke iintlobo zemozulu embi ngoxa wayehleli kwisitulo sakhe esitofotofo kwindlu yakhe enkulu yaseKhalifoniya enamagumbi ali-10 esela i-scotch entle ngetyala. Ngoku, amaNgqina adlala iividiyo zeQumrhu Elilawulayo emnyango, kwaye akhuthaze i-JW.org ngelixa iinkokeli zeWatch Tower ezikhethekileyo zinandipha ubomi obutofotofo kwindawo yazo yokuchithela iholide eWarwick.

Ndikhumbula njengomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova ndibuyela ekhaya ndivela kwindibano yesiphaluka okanye yesithili apho sonke senziwa saziva ngathi asizange senze nto ingako.

Hayi indlela olwahluke ngayo uthando lukaYesu oxelela abafundi bakhe:

“Thabathani idyokhwe yam nize nifunde kum, kuba ndinomoya wobulali, ndithobekile ngentliziyo, yaye niya kuzifumanela ukuhlaziyeka. Kuba idyokhwe yam yeyobubele, nomthwalo wam ukhaphukhaphu.”— Mateyu 11:29, 30 .

Ngoku ngequbuliso, iQumrhu Elilawulayo liye laqonda ukuba liphosakele emva kwalo lonke eli xesha?

Ima kancinci. Yintoni kanye kanye ebangela le ntshukumo? Siza kungena kuloo nto, kodwa inye into endiqiniseke ngayo: Ayinanto yakwenza nokuxelisa uthando lukaThixo.

Nangona kunjalo, libali abalithengisayo njengoko ingxelo elandelayo kaGage ibonisa:

Kaloku, ngokucacileyo izifundo zidlulela ngaphaya kokupha izinto eziphathekayo. Iintshukumisa, kunqulo lwethu kuYehova kubalulekile kuye. UYehova akasithelekisi nabanye, okanye kwaneenguqulelo zethu zangaphambili, iinguqulelo zethu ezincinane. UYehova ufuna nje simthande ngentliziyo, ngomphefumlo, ngengqondo nangamandla ethu ephela, kungekhona njengokuba kwakunjalo kwiminyaka eli-10 okanye engama-20 eyadlulayo, kodwa njengokuba kunjalo ngoku.

Kwaye nantso. NguYehova onobubele, onobubele. Ngaphandle kokuba uYehova akatshintshanga. ( Yakobi 1:17 ) Kodwa abo bazibeka kwinqanaba likaYehova baye batshintsha. Abo bathi ukushiya uMbutho kuthetha ukushiya uYehova ngabo benza utshintsho, kwaye bafuna ukuba ukholelwe ukuba eli lilungiselelo lothando elivela kuThixo. Ukuba umthwalo onzima abaye bakubophelela emqolo kwiminyaka eli-100 edluleyo ushenxiswa ngothando, kodwa oko akuyonyaniso.

Khumbula ukuba, ukuba awuzange unike ingxelo nangenyanga enye, ubugqalwa njengomvakalisi ongekho rhoqo yaye ngenxa yoko akunakuba nawo nawaphi na amalungelo ebandleni uwaxabisileyo akwenza ukuba uwaxabise kangako. Kodwa ukuba awuzange uchaze ixesha kwiinyanga ezintandathu, kwenzeka ntoni? Wakhutshwa kuluhlu lwabavakalisi ngenxa yokuba wawungasajongwa njengelungu lebandla ngokusemthethweni. Bebengayi kukunika noBulungiseleli bakho BoBukumkani.

Kwakungakhathali nokuba uye kuzo zonke iintlanganiso okanye uqhubeke ushumayela kwabanye. Ukuba awuzange wenze amaphepha afunekayo, ukuguqula loo ngxelo, ubunjalo persona non grata.

Kule ntetho kaGage Fleegle, ethetha ngothando, akazange nakanye abhekisele kumyalelo omtsha kaYesu ophathelele uthando esifanele silubonise omnye komnye.

Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane njengokuba ndinithandayo. ” (UYohane 15:12)

“Kanye njengoko ndikuthandayo.” Oku kudlulela ngaphaya kokuthanda ummelwane wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako. Ayiseyiyo indlela endizithanda ngayo le nto isisilinganisi sothando esichaza umkhonzi kaThixo. UYesu wayiphakamisa intsimbi. Ngoku, luthando lwakhe ngathi olungumlinganiselo esifanele sifikelele kuwo. Enyanisweni, ngokutsho kukaYohane 13:34, 35 , uthando omnye komnye njengoko uKristu wasithandayo kuye kwaba luphawu olwahlula amaKristu okwenyaniso, amaKristu athanjisiweyo, abantwana bakaThixo.

Yicinge loo nto!

Mhlawumbi yiloo nto uGage Fleegle echitha lonke ixesha lakhe kwiZibhalo zesiHebhere, kwiNcwadi kaIsaya, ukuze athethe ngothando lukaThixo. Akabi nabuganga bakungena kwiZibhalo zamaKristu aze akhangele kumthwali wothando onguNyana kaThixo, uYesu Kristu, owathunyelwa kuthi ukuze siluqonde ngokwenene uthando lukaBawo wethu.

Into uGage asilelayo ukuyiqonda kukuba zonke iZibhalo azicaphula kwiNcwadi kaIsaya zalatha kuYesu. Masimamele apha:

Kaloku, makhe sityhile kuIsaya isahluko 40-44 . Yaye apho siza kufunda ngezizathu ezininzi zokumthanda uYehova. Kwangaxeshanye siza kuqwalasela imizekelo yobunzulu bothando lukaYehova ngathi. Ngoko umzekelo wethu wokuqala ukuIsaya isahluko 40 yaye nceda uphawule indinyana 11. UIsaya 40, indinyana 11.

Njengomalusi uya kuwalusa umhlambi wakhe. Ngengalo yakhe iya kuhlanganisa ndawonye amatakane; iwathwale ngesifuba. Uya kubakhokela ngothantamisa abo bancancisa amantshontsho abo.

Ngaba uGage uyathetha ngoYesu apha? Hayi ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba ufuna ukukuphazamisa ekuyiboneni indima kaYesu njengomalusi wokwenyaniso wezimvu zikaYehova. Akafuni ukuba ucinge ngazo zonke ezi zibhalo zalatha kuYesu njengokuphela kwejelo likaThixo “indlela, inyaniso, nobomi.” Endaweni yoko, ufuna ukuba ugxile kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo ekuloo ndima.

“. . .kuba kuwe kuya kuphuma umlawuli, oya kubalusa abantu bam, amaSirayeli.

“. . . ‘Ndiya kumbetha umalusi, zichithwachithwe izimvu zomhlambi.’” ( Mateyu 26:31 ) Izimvu zomhlambi zazichithachitheka.

“. . .Ndim umalusi omhle; umalusi omhle unikezela umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yezimvu.” ( Yohane 10:11 )

“. . .Ndingumalusi omhle, kwaye ndiyazazi izimvu zam nezimvu zam ziyandazi, kanye njengoko uBawo endazi mna nam ndiyamazi uBawo; kwaye ndinikezela umphefumlo wam ngenxa yezimvu. ( Yohane 10:14, 15 )

“. . .“Ndinazo nezinye izimvu, ezingezizo ezobu buhlanti; nazo ezo ndimele ndize nazo, yaye ziya kuliphulaphula ilizwi lam, yaye ziya kuba mhlambi mnye, nomalusi abe mnye.” ( Yohane 10:16 )

“. . .Ke kaloku uThixo woxolo, owamvusayo kwabafileyo uMalusi omkhulu wezimvu . . .” ( Hebhere 13:20 )

“. . .Kuba beninjengezimvu zilahleka; kodwa ngoku nibuyele kumalusi nomveleli wemiphefumlo yenu.” (Funda eyoku-1 kaPetros 2:25.)

“. . .Nothi akubonakala umalusi oyintloko, nisifumane isithsaba salo uzuko esingabuniyo.” (Funda eyoku-1 kaPetros 5:4.)

“. . .iMvana, ephakathi kwetrone, iya kubalusa, ibakhokelele emithonjeni yamanzi obomi. . . .” ( ISityhilelo 7:17 )

Ngoku uGage uya kwiNcwadi kaEzequiel.

KuHezekile 34:15,16, XNUMX , uYehova uthi mna ndiya kuzondla izimvu zam, ezilahlekileyo ndiya kuzifuna, ezilahlekileyo ndiya kuzibuyisa, ezaphukileyo ndiya kuzibopha, [njengoko siphawula kulo mzekeliso] nezibuthathaka ndiya kuzibopha. iya komeleza. Onjani wona ukuchukumisa umfanekiso wemfesane nenkathalo.

Ewe, uEzequiel unikel’ ingqalelo kuYehova uThixo, ibe ngumzekeliso ochukumisayo, kodwa uYehova uThixo uwuzalisekisa njani lo mfanekiso? KungoNyana wakhe athi wondla amatakane, aze ahlangule izimvu ezilahlekileyo.

Wathini uYesu kuPetros? Dlisa amatakane am egusha. Watsho kathathu. Kwaye wathini kubaFarisi. Nguwuphi na kuni ongayi kuzishiya iigusha ezingamashumi asithoba anesithoba, aye kufuna leyo ilahlekileyo?

Kodwa uGage akenziwanga ukucutha indima kaYesu. Ude akwazi ukuyibetha ngoyaba indima yakhe njengoLizwi likaThixo ekudaleni zonke izinto.

Ebhekisela kuYesu Kristu njengoLizwi likaThixo, umpostile uYohane uthi: “Zonke izinto zabakho ngaye, yaye ngaphandle kwakhe akubangakho nanye into.” ( Yohane 1:3 )

Umpostile uPawulos wathetha la mazwi ngoYesu Kristu: “Ungumfanekiselo kaThixo ongenakubonwa, owamazibulo kwindalo yonke; ngenxa yokuba zadalwa ngaye zonke ezinye izinto emazulwini nasemhlabeni, izinto ezibonakalayo nezinto ezingabonakaliyo, enoba ziitrone okanye ubukhosi okanye oorhulumente okanye amagunya. Zonke ezinye izinto zidalwe ngaye yaye zidalelwe yena.” ( Kolose 1:15, 16 )

Kodwa ukuva uGage Fleegle eyibalisa, awuyi kuba nalwazi ngendima ebalulekileyo kaYesu kwiNdalo.

Makhe sithethe ngesizathu sesibini sokuba simele simthande uYehova. UIsaya isahluko 40, phawula indinyana 28 neyama-29. Indinyana 28 ithi:

“Anazi na? Ngaba anivanga? UYehova, uMdali weziphelo zomhlaba, unguThixo ngonaphakade. Akadinwa okanye adinwe. Akuphengululeki ukuqonda kwakhe. Umnika odiniweyo amandla. Yaye ukomelela okupheleleyo kwabo baswele amandla.”

Ngomoya oyingcwele kaYehova onamandla wadala yonke into: Ukususela kunyana wakhe wamazibulo, ukusa kwizigidi ngezigidi zezidalwa zomoya ezomeleleyo, ukusa kwindalo iphela enezigidi ngezigidi ngezigidi zeenkwenkwezi, kulo mhlaba mhle neentlobo ngeentlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana ezingapheliyo, umzimba womntu ngamandla awo amangalisayo kunye nokuguquguquka. Ngokwenene uYehova nguMdali onguSomandla.

Kuyaphawuleka, akunjalo? Hayi indlela abaye bamshenxisa ngokunempumelelo ngayo uYesu kwindima yakhe njengentloko yebandla. Ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba bayacelwa umngeni, baya kuyinikela ngomlomo indima kaYesu. Kodwa ngezenzo zabo nangamazwi abo, ngokubhaliweyo nathethwayo, baye bamtyhalela ecaleni uKristu ukuze bazivulele ithuba njengentloko yebandla lamaNgqina kaYehova.

Andizuchitha ixesha elingakumbi ndifunda yonke intetho yakhe. Kuninzi kakhulu okufanayo. Uqhubeka esiya kwiZibhalo zesiHebhere, ngoxa etyeshela iZibhalo ZamaKristu ZesiGrike, kuba efuna ukunikela ingqalelo kuYehova uThixo ngaphandle koNyana wakhe othanjisiweyo, umsindisi wethu, uYesu Kristu. Yintoni ephosakeleyo apho, unokuthi? Eyona nto iphosakeleyo ngaloo nto asiyiyo le nto uBawo wethu wasezulwini ayifunayo.

Wasithumela uNyana wakhe, ukuze sifunde ngaye uthando nentobelo, ongumbonakaliso ogqibeleleyo wozuko lukaThixo, nomfanekiselo woThixo ophilileyo. Ukuba uYehova uthi: “Lo nguNyana wam, oyintanda. Mphulaphuleni yena.” Singoobani na ukuba sithi, “Ewe, kulungile kwaye kulungile, Yehova, kodwa silungile ngeendlela zakudala ngaphambi kokuba uYesu eze embonisweni, ke siya kubambelela ekugxininiseni kuhlanga lwakwaSirayeli kunye neZibhalo zesiHebhere kwaye yenza oko iQumrhu Elilawulayo lisixelela ukuba sikwenze. Kulungile?"

Ukuqukumbela: Sivavanye isiqhamo somlomo njengoko sivakaliswe liQumrhu Elilawulayo ngeGage Fleegle. Ngaba siyaliva ilizwi lomalusi wenyaniso okanye ilizwi lomprofeti wobuxoki? Kwaye konke oku kukhokelela entwenini? Kutheni betshintsha inkalo yoMbutho ebikho kangangenkulungwane?

Siza kujonga iimpendulo zale mibuzo kwividiyo elandelayo neyokugqibela kuqweqwe lwethu lweNtlanganiso yoNyaka ka-2023.

Ukunciphisa imfuneko yokunikela ingxelo yexesha kusenokubonakala kungumbandela wobugcisa kwabathile, okanye inguqulelo engephi yenkqubo yequmrhu kwabanye, njengokuba kwenzeka kuwo nawuphi na umbutho omkhulu njengobukhosi obukhulayo beWatch Tower. Kodwa ngokobuqu, andicingi njalo. Enoba siyintoni na isizathu, abakwenzi oko ngenxa yothando ngommelwane. Ngaloo nto, ndiqinisekile.

Kude ibe lilixa elizayo.
