UJehova Uyabathanda Labo 'Abathela Izithelo Ngokukhuthazela'

[Kusuka ku-ws 5 / 18 p. I-12, Julayi 9-15]

“Kepha leyo esemhlabathini omuhle, yilaba ... abathela izithelo ngokukhuthazela.” - Luka 8:15.

Isigaba 1 siqala ngesipiliyoni sikaSergio no-Olinda bethi "lo mbhangqwana othembekile umatasa ushumayela umyalezo woMbuso lapho ekuseni njalo ngeviki, unyaka wonke ”. Lapha sibona esinye sezihloko ezimbalwa okuxoxwe ngazo ezihlokweni zesifundo se-Nqabayokulinda. Lowo msebenzi wokutshumayela. (Amanye aqukethe ubhapathizo lwezingane, iminikelo enhlanganweni, ukwamukela isiyalo nokwamukela igunya labadala neNdikimba Ebusayo.)

Inqola 'Ukufakaza'!
Umbhangqwana ushumayela kanjani? “Bahlala endaweni eseduze kwesiteshi sebhasi futhi bahambisa izincwadi zethu zeBhayibheli kubantu abadlulayo.”Lesi sithombe esikulesi sihloko sibonisa kahle ukuthi kanjani. Ngokuhlala noma ukuma eduze kwenqola.

Ngakho-ke iyini incazelo yesichazamazwi yokushumayela?[i]

• "Ukuletha intshumayelo noma ikheli lenkolo eqenjini labantu elihlangene, ejwayelekile esontweni."
• "Ukumemezela esidlangalaleni noma ukufundisa (umlayezo wokholo noma inkolelo)."
• "Ukuxhasa ngokweqiniso (inkolelo noma inkambo)."

Ngakho-ke kudingeka sibuze lo mbuzo: Ingabe lo mbhangqwana osukhulile 'ushumayela' kanjani? Ngokwencazelo esigabeni nesithombe esikhonjiswe ngenhla ayikho kulezi zincazelo ezintathu ezenzekile. “Szigaya izigqila kulabo abazibukayo ” ayifaneleki ngempela.

Okungenzeka kwenzeke kulezi zikhathi, ezichazwe ngokungafanele ngokuthi 'ukushumayela', kubhekiselwe esigabeni esilandelayo lapho kuthi "NjengoSergio no-Olinda, abafowethu nodadewethu abaningi abathembekile emhlabeni wonke beshumayela amashumi eminyaka ezindaweni ezingasabeli zasekhaya ”. Kepha uJesu wathini ngezindawo ezingasabeli? UMathewu 10: 11-14 noLuka 9: 1-6 bakhombisa ukuthi bazoshiya okungaphendulanga ngemuva badlulele phambili. ULuka ubuye aveze ukuthi babezophilisa abantu njengoba behamba. Umphostoli uPhawuli ulandele le ndlela njengezibonelo kuzEnzo 13: 44-47,51 naku-Izenzo 14: 5-7, 20, njll. Kwakungekho okukhombisa ukuthi kufanele 'beshaye' insimu engaphenduli ukuzama ukuyenza iphendule.

"Kungani singazizwa sidanile?"

"NjengoPawulu, sishumayela kubantu ngoba sibakhathalela ngokusuka enhliziyweni. (Mathewu 22:39; 1 Korinte 11: 1) ” (Par.5)

Enzile noma enzile “sishumayeza abantu ngokubakhathalela ngokusuka enhliziyweni ”? Uma uke waba ngufakazi, zibuze lokhu. Ukube bebengasitshela kusasa ukuthi ngeke kusabikwa ngehora, ukuthi abadala ngeke babheke ukuthi senza malini emsebenzini wendlu ngendlu, ingabe umsebenzi wokushumayela ubuzoqhubeka unganqandeki futhi unganciphisi? Ukube bonke bebeshumayela ngokweqiniso "ngokukhathazeka okusuka enhliziyweni".

Kuthiwani uma sike sizwe ukuthi indima yephayona isusiwe. Akusekho ukwahlukaniswa okukhethekile okufanele kunikezwe labo abazinikela emahoreni angama-70 ngenyanga ekushumayeleni? Konke kuzofana, abamemezeli abavamile? Ngabe labo abaphayonayo manje bazoqhubeka nokufaka emahoreni angama-70, ngoba intshisekelo yabo bekungekhona isimo sokubukwa njengephayona elinelungelo, kepha bebenza nje "ngokukhathalela okusuka enhliziyweni" ngomakhelwane babo?

Abanye bangavuma ngokwesigaba 5 esithi: "Ngakho-ke naphezu kwezikhathi zokudumazeka, siyakhuthazela. U-Elena, oyiphayona elineminyaka engaphezu kwe-25, ukhulumela iningi lethu lapho lithi: “Umsebenzi wami usunzima. Noma kunjalo, awukho omunye umsebenzi engingathanda ukuwenza. ”

Okungakhulunywa ngaphansi kwalesi sihloko esingezansi mhlawumbe yingakho insimu ingaphenduli. Njenge:

• Iningi labantu likhathazekile ngabantu abangabazi emilenzeni yabo.
• Iningi labofakazi, esikhundleni sokusebenzisa ibhayibheli, lisebenzisa izincwadi namavidiyo akhiqizwe ngabesilisa.
• Abantu abaningi balahlekelwe ukholo kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yerekhodi lenkolo.
• Abamazi umuntu oshayayo, ngakho basihlulela ngenxa yenkolo yethu okubandakanya ukuvumela izingane ukuba zife ngokuzenqaba ukumpontshelwa igazi lapho zidingeka, kanye nokuvikela abahlukumeza izingane.
• Ngaphezu kwalokho, akukho okuphikisana nalokhu okungenhla, njengerekhodi engxenyeni yeNhlangano yokusiza abampofu nabaswele imisebenzi yokuphana kahle.

"Singasithela kanjani izithelo?"

"Yini engaqiniseka ukuthi noma ngabe sishumayela kuphi, singaba nenkonzo ethelayo?" (Par.6)

Njengamanje uzobe ususibonile ukuphela kwezithelo okuxoxwe ngazo umsebenzi wokushumayela. Ngabe yilokho uJesu ayekhuluma ngakho njengesithelo esibaluleke kakhulu noma ukuphela kwaso? Isigaba siyaqhubeka "Ukuze siphendule lo mbuzo obalulekile, ake sihlole imifanekiso emibili kaJesu lapho ebheka khona isidingo 'sokuthela izithelo.' (UMathewu 13: 23)". Ngakho-ke asikwenze lokho.

"Funda uJohn 15: 1-5,8"

Isigaba 7 siqala:

"Funda uJohn 15: 1-5,8. Qaphela ukuthi uJesu watshela abaphostoli bakhe: 'UBaba uyakhazinyuliswa ngalokhu, ukuthi niqhubeka nithela izithelo eziningi futhi nizibonakalise ningabafundi bami.' ” Iyaqhubeka “Ngakho-ke, yisiphi izithelo ezidingwa abalandeli bakaKristu? Kulomfanekiso, UJesu akazange asho ngokuqondile ukuthi ziyini lezo zithelo, kodwa washo imininingwane ebalulekile esisiza ekutholeni impendulo. ” (Par.7)

Ngabe uqaphele "UJesu akazange asho ngokuqondile ukuthi ziyini lezo zithelo" nokho bayaqhubeka nokwenza isimangalo mayelana "Ziyini lezo zithelo". Okokuqala, basho ukuthi kuyini HHAYI.  “Ngakho-ke, kulo mfanekiso, izithelo okufanele umKristu ngamunye athele Ayikwazi bhekisa kubafundi abasha esingaba nenhlanhla yokwenza. ”(Par.8)

Yisiphi isizathu esinikeza lesi siphetho? "Ngoba asikwazi ukuphoqa abantu ukuba babe abafundi."

Le ndlela yokucabanga ayiwunaki umqondo wokufanisa kukaJesu. Awukwazi ukuphoqa isihlahla ukuba futhi sithele izithelo. Ungayitshala kuphela, uyondle, uyinisele, futhi uyivikele. Kepha inhloso yakho kukho konke ukuzuza izithelo zesihlahla, izithelo zemisebenzi yakho.

Ngokulandelayo, bathi: “Yimuphi umsebenzi owakha umongo 'wokuthela izithelo'? Ukushunyayelwa kwezindaba ezinhle zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu. ”(Par.9)

Lokhu kungukucabanga okumsulwa. Kusho ukuthini ukuthi 'empeleni'? Ngokusho kwesichazamazwi seGoogle isho ukuthi "ubunjalo bokungena noma ikhwalithi engabalulekanga yento, ikakhulukazi into etholakalayo, enquma umlingiswa wayo." Ngakho-ke kuphakama umbuzo: Ingabe ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle kuthinta izithelo? Inkomba inikezwa ibambe kumbhalo waphansi obhekiswe ekugcineni komusho. Njengombhalo waphansi ngokungangabazeki iningi labafundi lizoyishalazela noma liyiskenke kodwa bangakugayi ukungenisa kwayo. Ithi “Ngenkathi “ukuthela izithelo” kusebenza futhi ekukhiqizeni “izithelo zomoya,” kulesi sihloko nakwesilandelayo, sigxile ekukhiqizeni “izithelo zezindebe zethu,” noma ukushumayela ngoMbuso. — AbaseGalatians 5: 22, 23; Hebheru 13: 15. " Ngakho-ke bayavuma ukuthi ukuthela izithelo kusebenza ekukhiqizeni izithelo zomoya, kodwa ezihlokweni ezimbili ezilandelayo bazolilahla lelo qiniso. Eqinisweni, bazokwenza okungaphezu kwalokho.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngesikhathi sokubhalwa, phakathi kwezihloko eziyishumi nambili zokufunda kulokhu, akukho noyedwa ozinikele kwesinye isithelo somoya, sixoxa ngokuthi singasibonisa kanjani empilweni ejwayelekile yansuku zonke. I-athikili eyodwa ikhuluma ngozwela kepha isuka kuphela embonweni womsebenzi wokushumayela. Indatshana eyodwa engafundile iphathelene nokubekezela, kepha isuka kuphela esicini sokulinda uJehova ukuthi alethe i-Amagedoni.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze kutholakale ngokomBhalo ukuthi kuyini 'okungaphakathi' ekuthela izithelo, manje ake sithathe imizuzwana embalwa yokuhlola ngempela lokho uJohane ayekusho kuJohane 15: 1-5,8. Ukuze siliqonde kangcono iphuzu uJesu ayekhuluma ngalo kudingeka sifunde kuvesi 9 no-10 njengomongo. Lapho, uJohane wabhala amazwi kaJesu kuJohane 15:10 ngale ndlela: “Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyohlala othandweni lwami, njengoba nje nami ngiye ngagcina imiyalo kaBaba futhi ngihlala othandweni lwakhe.”

Into yokuqala okufanele uyiqaphele ukuthi abafundi bakaJesu beqiniso kwakufanele babheke uJesu imiyalo. Ngakho-ke bekubukwa ezingaphezu kweyodwa umyalo owawudingeka. Ngaphezu kwalokho njengoba ivesi 5 liqokomisa “Ohlala [ebunyeni] nami, nami kuye [lowo] munye uthela izithelo eziningi; ngoba ngaphandle kwami ​​awunakwenza lutho. ” Qaphela ukufana? Ukuhlala othandweni lukaKristu kusho ukuthi umuntu uhlala ekuKristu. Ukuze sihlale othandweni lukaKristu sidinga ukugcina umyalo wakhes. Imiphi imiyalo yakhe? UJesu ukhuluma ngomyalo wakhe oyinhloko amavesi ambalwa kamuva kuJohane 15: 12 lapho eqhubeka athi: “Lokhu kungumyalo wami, ukuthi nithandane njengoba nje nami nginithandile.” Isiphetho esinengqondo kungaba ukuthi umyalo sithandane njengoba noKhrestu asithanda kungumnyombo, imvelo yangaphakathi enquma isimilo sokuthela izithelo.

Yimiphi eminye imiyalo uJesu ayekhuluma ngayo kule ndima evela kuJohane 15? Kokubili uLuka 18: 20-23 noMathewu 19: 16-22 kusisiza ukuthi siqonde ukuthi imiphi imiyalo. Ukulandisa kweBhayibheli lapho insizwa ecebile yabuza uJesu “Mfundisi, yini enhle okumelwe ngiyenze ukuze ngithole ukuphila okuphakade?” Impendulo enikiwe ithi "Nokho, uma ufuna ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalo ngokuqhubekayo." Le nsizwa yabuza “Ziphi?” "UJesu wathi, Kungani, Ungabulali, Ungaphingi, Ungebi, Ungafakazi amanga, Hlonipha uyihlo nonyoko, futhi Uthande umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena." Uyabona ukuthi uJesu wakugcizelela kanjani “Ukushunyayelwa kwezindaba ezinhle zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu ” njengomyalo oyinhloko 'wokuthola ukuphila okuphakade'? Cha, akunjalo. Akushiwo nakushiwo. Lapho insizwa ecebile ithi “Ngikugcinile konke lokhu; nokho yini engiyintulayo? ” wathini uJesu? Uyoshumayela? Cha, “uJesu wathi kuye: 'Uma ufuna ukuphelela, hamba uthengise okungokwakho, uphe abampofu, khona-ke uyoba nengcebo ezulwini.'” Isihloko esasivamile phakathi kwayo yonke le miyalo sasiwukuthi kufanele siphathe kanjani abanye. Ungaziphatha kanjani njengomKristu ngamanye amagama. UJohn 15: 17 uyakufakazela lokhu ngokuphinda ukugcizelela “Nginiyala lezi zinto, ukuthi nithandane ”.

Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi uma umuntu ekhombisa izimfanelo zikaKristu, abanye bazobona futhi babone ukuthi umuntu ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu futhi labo ababizelwe uNkulunkulu bazojoyina esisodwa futhi umphumela uba ukuthi ngokuthela izithelo zomoya, munye ngokwemvelo siyokwenza abafundi.

"Funda uLuka 8: 5-8, 11-15" (Par. 10-12)

Eyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 4: 6 iyasixwayisa: “funda [umthetho]: 'Ungeqeli ngalé kwezinto ezilotshiwe…'”.

Unalokhu engqondweni. asihlole ukuthi bamhumusha kanjani uLuka 8: 5-8,11-15.

Qaphela ivesi 11. Lapha uJesu uqala ukutolika umfanekiso wakhe.

"Manje lo mfanekiso usho lokhu: Inzalo iyizwi likaNkulunkulu."

I-athikili iyavumelana futhi ikhulume ngalokhu. Isigaba 11 bese sithi “Njengoba inhlabathi enhle emfanekisweni kaJesu igcina imbewu, samukela umyalezo futhi sabambelela kuyo. ” Lokhu kuqonda kuvumelana noLuka 8: 16. Kuhle kakhulu, kepha manje kuza okucashile “okudlula izinto ezibhaliwe”. Sitshelwa “Futhi njengoba nje isiqu sikakolweni sikhiqiza njengezithelo, hhayi umhlanga omusha, kodwa imbewu entsha, sikhiqiza njengezithelo, hhayi abafundi abasha, kodwa imbewu yoMbuso entsha. Siyikhiqiza kanjani imbewu yoMbuso entsha? Njalo lapho simemezela isigijimi soMbuso ngandlela thile, siphinda kabili futhi siyisakaze, injalo imbewu eyayitshalwe enhliziyweni zethu. ”(Par. 11) Akukho ukusekelwa okucacayo kule ndima kuLuka 8 ukuhumusha lo mfanekiso ngale ndlela. Ngempela uJesu akazange ahumushe leso sithelo njengokumemezela kwethu isigijimi soMbuso. Ukugcizelela kunalokho kukhonjiswe kuLuka 8: 15 lapho uJesu athi "Ngokuqondene nalokhu emhlabathini omuhle, yibo, ngemuva kokuzwa izwi ngenhliziyo enhle nenenhliziyo enhle, kugcinwe bathele izithelo ngokukhuthazela. ”Yebo, iyagcinwa, ayikhishwa njengoba iNhlangano ingathanda ukuba nayo. Esikhundleni salokho inhliziyo enhle nenhle ixhumene nomphumela wezithelo ezikhuthazayo.

Ngokuqinisekile kungaba nengqondo eyengeziwe ukuqonda izithelo njengezimfanelo zobuKristu ezihlakulelwa yinhliziyo elalelayo eziyoqhubeka zikhuthazela njengomuntu othanda uNkulunkulu noJesu olwela ukubonisa izithelo zomoya. Ukulandisa okufanayo kuMathewu 13: 23 ikhuluma “Ngokuqondene nalowo ohlwanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle, lo yiwo ukuzwa izwi nokuzwa umqondo walo, Ngubani othela izithelo futhi akhiqize, lena ngekhulu, lelo amashumi ayisithupha, omunye amashumi amathathu. ”1 USamu 15: I-22 isikhumbuza ukuthi“ Ingabe uJehova ujabula kakhulu ngeminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo njengoba elalela izwi UJehova? Bheka! Ukulalela kungcono kunomhlatshelo, ukunaka kunamafutha ezinqama. ”Ngaphezu kwalokho i-James 1: I-19-27 futhi ilusizo kakhulu ukubona izinto ezibalulekile uNkulunkulu noJesu abafuna sizilalele ngazo kunokuzidela kwenhlangano. ufuna senze ukuze sikhonze injongo yaso.

UPowula wakhuthaza amaKhristu okuqala akumaKolose 1: 10 “ukuthi nihambe ngokufanele uJehova ukuze nimjabulise ngokugcwele njengoba niqhubeka nithela izithelo yonke imisebenzi emihle futhi nganda olwazini olunembile lukaNkulunkulu, ”futhi ekuxoxeni ngezithelo weluleka abase-Efesu ku-Efesu 5: 8-11 ukuthi" izithelo zokukhanya ziqukethe zonke izinhlobo zobuhle nokulunga neqiniso ".

Ngakho-ke uma isigaba 12 sithi “Yini esingayifunda emifanekisweni kaJesu yomvini neyomhlwanyeli?"Siyayazi impendulo esekelwa umbhalo ukuthi 'sidinga ukuhlakulela izithelo zomoya'.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi igama lesiGreki elihunyushwe ngokuthi “ukuthela izithelo ” ku-Thayer's Greek Lexicon kuqondwa ngokuthi “ngokomqondo, ukuthwala, ukuveza, izenzo: ngamadoda akhombisa ulwazi lwenkolo ngokuziphatha kwabo, uMathewu 13: 23; Maka 4: 20; ULuka 8: 15; ”Qaphela ubuningi bezenzo noma imisebenzi esivele siphawula ngayo kanye“ nokuziphatha kwabo ”, hhayi 'ngokushumayela kwabo'.

"Singakhuthazela kanjani ukuthela izithelo?"

Njengoba sesivele sibeke ngokombhalo ukuthi isidingo 'sokukhuthazela ukuthela izithelo' asihlobene ngqo nomsebenzi wokushumayela ngakho-ke ingxenye esele yendatshana icishe ibe yize. Noma kunjalo iphuzu elilodwa noma amabili anokuphawula.

(Isigaba 13) "Phawula lokho aqhubeka akusho encwadini yakhe ayibhalela amaKristu aseRoma ngemizwa yakhe ngalawo maJuda: “Ukuthakazela kwenhliziyo yami nokunxusela kwami ​​uNkulunkulu ngabo kungokusindiswa kwabo. Ngoba ngiyabafakazela ukuthi banentshiseko ngoNkulunkulu, kodwa hhayi ngokolwazi olunembile. ” (Roma 10: 1, 2) ”

Mayelana nale ndima kufanele sibe nemizwa efanayo kubo bonke abafowethu nodade abangakavuswa. Yebo, abaningi banentshiseko ngoNkulunkulu, kepha abanalo ulwazi olunembile. Yiluphi ulwazi olunembile uPawulu ayekhuluma ngalo? Ngabe kwakuyisidingo somsebenzi wokukhonza ngaphandle kwezindleko zokuthuthukiswa kwezimfanelo zobuKristu nezithelo zomoya njengakwabaseGalathiya 5: 22-23? Ngokomongo, bekuyile:

“Ngoba ngenxa yokungazi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kodwa ngifuna ukuzenzela ezabo, abazithobanga ekulungeni kukaNkulunkulu. 4 Ngoba uKristu ukuphela komthetho, ukuze wonke umuntu obonisa ukholo abe nokulunga. ”(KwabaseRoma 10: 3-4,)

Ngabe uqaphele ukuthi inkinga yingoba bengakuqondi kahle ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, bagcina sebezifunela ukulunga kwabo? Laba babengazi ukuthi uKristu wawuqeda umthetho, ngoba wona lowo mthetho wawukhombisa ukuthi akekho noyedwa ongathola insindiso ngemisebenzi. Babedinga isipho samahhala esigqanyiswe kwabase-Efesu 3: 11-12 lapho uPaul abhala khona “ngokwenjongo yaphakade ayibumba maqondana noKristu, uJesu iNkosi yethu, 12 esinayo ngale nkululeko yokukhuluma ukuzethemba ngokusebenzisa ukholo lwethu kuye ”(Bheka futhi amaRoma 6: 23). Ukusebenzisa ukholo lweqiniso kudinga okuningi kakhulu kunokushumayela nje.

"Singamlingisa kanjani uPawulu? Okokuqala, silwela ukulondolozela isifiso esisuka enhliziyweni sokuthola noma ngubani 'onesifiso esihle sokuphila okuphakade.' Okwesibili, sinxusa uJehova ngomthandazo ukuba avule izinhliziyo zabantu abaqotho. (Izenzo 13: 48; 16: 14)”(Par.15)

Ukuphela kwendlela yokulingisa uPawulu namuhla maqondana nokushumayela kungaba ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle zokuqala ezivela eBhayibhelini ngqo. Ukuthwala umlayezo othathwa njengezindaba ezinhle ezivela kuJW.Org noma ezincwadini ezishicilelwe yiNhlangano noma enye inhlangano yezenkolo ngalolo daba kuyizindaba ezihamba phambili. Izindaba ezinhle ezivela ngqo ezwini likaNkulunkulu yilokho uPawulu akushumayela. Ngale ndlela ukubaluleka kokholo lwethu kuJesu Kristu njengesihluthulelo ekufezekisweni kwenjongo kaNkulunkulu kuzobuyiselwa endaweni efanele. UJohane 5: 22-24 uqukethe isikhumbuzi sikaJesu sokuthi “Ongayihloniphi iNdodana akamhloniphi noYise oyithumileyo.”

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingabe izingelosi ziyasiza emsebenzini wokushumayela njengoba kushiwo esigabeni 15 lapho zithi “Siphinde sithandaze kuNkulunkulu ukuthi izingelosi zingasiqondisela ekutholeni abanhliziyo ziqotho. (UMathewu 10: 11-13; ISambulo 14: 6) ”? Umbhalo kuSambulo 14 ubhekise osukwini lokwahlulela oluzayo, hhayi osukwini lwamanje nakuMathewu 10 umane uqukethe imiyalo kaJesu kubafundi bakhe yokuthi kumele baphathe kanjani indawo yabo. Yebo, impela uNkulunkulu uyakwazi ukuqondisa izingelosi ukuze abanhliziyo ziqotho bafunde ngezindaba ezinhle, kodwa lokho kucabanga ukuthi umyalezo njengoba ushunyayelwa oFakazi BakaJehova yizindaba ezinhle ezifanele, futhi ezingashunyayelwa abanye; ukuthi uNkulunkulu noJesu basebenzisa iNhlangano ukuthola abanhliziyo ziqotho; nokuthi uNkulunkulu usebenzisa izingelosi kulo msebenzi njengamanje. Noma ngabe okunye kwalokhu kucatshangelwa akulungile — futhi sinobufakazi bokungekho nakancane kukho — impendulo bekufanele ibe ngu-Cha, izingelosi ngeke zisiqondise ”.

“Ungavumeli isandla sakho siphumule”

Izigaba zokugcina ze-3 ziyisikhuthazo sokuthi singayeki ukufingqa ngokuthi "Babona indlela yethu yokugqoka ecocekile, inhlonipho yokuziphatha nokumomotheka okufudumele. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, indlela esiziphatha ngayo ingasiza abanye babone ukuthi imibono yabo engemihle ngathi kungenzeka ingalungi. ”

Ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi yilokho kuphela okubalulekile okungenani ngokombono weNhlangano. Umbukiso wangaphandle, konke okungaba yi-façade yalokho umuntu wangempela ayimfihlo. Ngokunikwa ubuqiniso besimo sekhanda esenzweni sokubhekana nezimo zokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi ngaphakathi kweNhlangano, kubonakala sengathi iNhlangano isazoqhubeka nokuvumela leli hlazo ukuba likhule futhi lonakalise idumela loFakazi ngamunye ngenhlangano.

Yebo, kufanele sinqaphele hhayi kuphela ngokugqoka kwethu okucocekile, isimilo esihle nokumomotheka okufudumele, kodwa nangezenzo zethu kwabanye ukuvumelana nezithelo eziyiqiniso, zomoya ongcwele, ngaleyo ndlela sibonisa ukuthi siphila ngokweqiniso ukholo lwethu esikhundleni ngishumayela nje.

Akusona isikhathi sokuthi iNhlangano ihlanzeke, futhi siguqule ukugcizelelwa kusuka kokubonakala kwangaphandle (ikakhulukazi ukushumayela) kuya ekubeni ngamaKristu angempela ezenzweni nasezimfanelweni (ukubonisa izithelo zangempela, izithelo zomoya)? Akungabazeki ukuthi lokhu kuzonciphisa izinkinga eziningi iNhlangano ebhekana nazo njengenhlangano kanye nofakazi ngamunye.

Yebo, uJehova uthanda labo abathela izithelo zomoya ngokukhuthazela njengoba belwela ukulingisa indodana yakhe nomlamuleli wethu uJesu Kristu. Njengoba i-1 Peter 2: I-21-24 isikhumbuza:

“Eqinisweni, nabizelwa kule nkambo, ngoba ngisho noKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yenu, enishiyela isibonelo sokuba nilandele izinyathelo zakhe eduze. Akenzanga sono, nenkohliso ayitholakalanga emlonyeni wakhe. Lapho ethukwa, akaphindiselanga ngokuthuka. Lapho ehlupheka, akazange asongele, kodwa waqhubeka ezinikela kulowo owahlulela ngokulunga. Yena ngokwakhe wathwala izono zethu emzimbeni wakhe esigxotsheni, ukuze kuthi lapho siqeda izono siphile ngokulunga. ”
