UJesu Ubiza UMatewu Umthelisi | Ipilo KaJesu\nMATEWU 9:9-13 MARKOSI 2:13-17 LUKASI 5:27-32\nUJESU UBIZA UMATEWU UMTHELISI\nUKRESTU UZIHLANGANISA NEZONI BONA AZISIZE\nNgemva kwesikhatjhana uJesu alaphe indoda erholopheleko, uhlala eKapernawumi eduze neLwandle leGalile. Iinqubuthu godu ziza kuye, uyazifundisa. Njengombana akhambakhamba lapho, ubona uMatewu, obizwa nangokuthi nguLevi, ahlezi e-ofisini lomthelo. UJesu uyambiza uthi: “Ngilandela.” Lelo lilungelo elikarisa kwamambala.—Matewu 9:9.\nKungenzeka ukuthi uMatewu, njengoPitrosi, u-Andrisi, uJakopo noJwanisi, sekajayelene neemfundiso zakaJesu neemangaliso azenze endaweni le. Njengabo, uMatewu ulandela msinya. UMatewu uhlathulula lokhu eVangelini lakhe uthi: ‘Khonokho wasikima [uMatewu] walandela’ uJesu. (Matewu 9:9) UMatewu ulisa umsebenzakhe wokuba mthelisi uba mfundi kaJesu.\nNgokukhamba kwesikhathi, uMatewu wenza umnyanya omkhulu emzinakhe, mhlamunye ukutjengisa bona uthokoza kangangani ngokubizwa nguJesu. Ngaphandle kwakaJesu nabafundi bakhe, bobani abanye abamenyiweko? Kumenywe nabanye abathelisi egade basebenza noMatewu. Babuthelela umthelo ofunwa ziimphathimandla zeRoma ezihloyiweko, kuhlanganise umthelo wemikhumbi eza ethekwini lakhona, umthelo wabathengisi abakhamba eendleleni ezikulu, nomthelo wepahla ethengwe kwezinye iinarha. Ngokujayelekileko amaJuda abaqala njani abathelisi? Abantu bayabanyenya ngombana kanengi abakathembeki, babhadelisa abantu ngekani imali yomthelo engaphezu kwejayelekileko. Godu emnyanyeni lo ‘kunezoni,’ abantu abadume ngokwenza ubumbi.—Lukasi 7:37-39.\nAbaFarisi abazibona ngasuthi balungile nababona uJesu ahlezi nabantu abanjalo emnyanyeni babuza abafundi bakhe bathi: “Kubayini umfundisenu adla nabathelisi nezoni?” (Matewu 9:11) UJesu uyabezwa, yeke uthi kibo: “Abantu abaphilileko abamtlhogi udorhodere, kodwana ngabagulako abamtlhogako. Khambani-ke, niyokufunda bona lokhu kutjho ukuthini: ‘Ngifuna umusa, ingasi umhlatjelo.’ Ngombana angikezeli ukubiza abantu abalungileko, ngizele ukubiza izoni.” (Matewu 9:12, 13; Hosiya 6:6) AbaFarisi bayamtshima uJesu nabambiza ngokuthi ‘mfundisi,’ kodwana bangafunda okuthileko kuye malungana nokulungileko.\nUMatewu umeme abathelisi nezoni ukuze bazokulalela uJesu, “ngombana bebabanengi kibo abamlandelako.” (Markosi 2:15) UJesu ufuna ukubasiza bona babe nobuhlobo obuhle noZimu. Akafani nabaFarisi abazibona ngasuthi balungile, akabanyenyi abantu abanjalo. Ngebanga lokuba nesirhawu nomusa, angasiza labo ababogabogako ekulotjheni kwabo uZimu, njengombana nodorhodere angasiza umuntu ogulako bona alulame.\nUJesu uyabarhawukela abathelisi nezoni, kodwana lokho akutjho bona uvumela izono zabo, kunalokho ubazwela ngendlela efana naleya ayitjengisa nakalapha abantu abagulako emzimbeni. Ngokwesibonelo, lokha nakalapha umuntu ophethwe bulepheru wamrhawukela begodu wamkghwatha, wathi: “Ngiyathanda! Hlambuluka.” (Matewu 8:3) Kwangathi singalwela ukuba nomusa ofanako begodu sisize abatlhagako, khulukhulu ngokubasiza ngezinto ezimalungana noZimu!\nYini uMatewu ebekayenza uJesu nakambonako?\nKubayini amanye amaJuda anyenya abathelisi?\nKubayini uJesu azihlanganisa nezoni?

Ngokwesibonelo:\nNgoJanuary 2018 umantshi wase-United States wakhipha eyinye indoda eyayisileminyaka engu-38 isejele. Kwasekutholakale ubufakazi be-DNA obabutshengisa ukuthi indoda le yayingelacala.\nNgoSeptember 1994 amajaha amathathu kwelinye ilizwe elise-Africa abotshwa ngenxa yokwala ukungena esisotsheni. NgoSeptember 2020 ayeseleminyaka engu-26 esejele kodwa engazange atshelwe ukuthi icala aletheswayo ngelani.\nNxa kuyikuthi lawe wake waphathwa kubi ungazizwa ngendlela uJobe azizwa ngayo. Wathi: “Loba ngicela uncedo, kangahlulelwa kuhle.” (UJobe 19:7) Lanxa kungakhanya angani asisoze safa sahlulelwa kuhle, iBhayibhili lithembisa ukuthi sizafika isikhathi lapho wonke umuntu azakwahlulelwa khona kuhle. Amacebo aseBhayibhilini angakunceda ukuthi ubekezele nxa uphathwa kubi.\nKuyini okwenza ukuthi abantu bangaphathwa kuhle?\nAbantu abangafuni ukukhokhelwa nguNkulunkulu bajayele ukuphatha abanye kubi. IBhayibhili lithi uNkulunkulu wahlulela ngokulunga. (U-Isaya 51:4) Litshengisa ukuthi ukwahlulela kuhle kuyahambelana lokulunga. (IHubo 33:5) Nxa umuntu esenza izinto ezilungileyo futhi ezivumelana lentando kaNkulunkulu kuba lula ukuthi ahlulele kuhle. Kodwa nxa engelandaba lalokho okufunwa nguNkulunkulu ucina ebuswa yisono futhi lokho kumenza angahluleli kuhle. Nanzi izibonelo ezitshengisa lokhu:\nUkungabi lendaba labanye. Izifiso ezimbi kanye lesono kuhamba ndawonye. (UJakhobe 1:14, 15) Abantu abanengi bangenza loba yini ukuze bathole abakufunayo lanxa lokho kusitsho ukuthi kumele baphathe abanye abantu kubi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ufuna siqakathekise okufunwa ngabanye.—1 KwabaseKhorinte 10:24.\nUkungazi. Abanye abantu abananzeleli ukuthi baphatha kubi abanye kodwa lokhu akutsho ukuthi abakwenzayo kuqondile. (KwabaseRoma 10:3) Phela ukungazi lokhu yikho okwenza ukuthi abantu babulale uJesu Khristu.—ImiSebenzi 3:15, 17.\nEzinye izizathu. Abezombusazwe, labezentengiselwano labamasonto bathi baphatha wonke umuntu ngendlela efananayo. Kodwa iqiniso yikuthi izinto ezinengi abazenzayo zibangele ukuthi abantu bangaphathwa kuhle. Ngokwesibonelo balobugwelegwele, bayabandlulula, bathanda imali futhi abalandaba labantu. Lanxa abanye belenhloso ezinhle futhi befuna sibili ukubanceda abantu, kabaphumeleli ngoba kabakhokhelwa nguNkulunkulu.—UmTshumayeli 8:9; UJeremiya 10:23.\nUNkulunkulu uzwa njani nxa abantu bephathwa kubi?\nUyakuzonda konke ukuphathwa kubi kwabantu. (IZaga 6:16-18) Waphefumulela umphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi athi: “Mina, Jehova, * ngithanda ukwahlulela kuhle, ngizonda ubugebenga lobubi.”—U-Isaya 61:8.\nUmthetho uNkulunkulu awunika abako-Israyeli utshengisa ukuthi wayefuna baphathane kuhle. Ngokwesibonelo abahlulelayo kwakumele bayale nxa abantu bebafumbathisa njalo babalekele loba yini eyayingabenza ukuthi bangahluleli kuhle. (UDutheronomi 16:18-20) UNkulunkulu wabakhuza kanengi abantu bakhe ababephatha kubi abaswelayo futhi wacina ebalahla ngenxa yokungalaleli kwabo.—U-Isaya 10:1-3.\nUNkulunkulu uzakuqeda yini ukuphathwa kubi kwabantu?\nYe uzakuqeda. UNkulunkulu uzasebenzisa uJesu Khristu ukuthi akhiphe isono ebantwini okuyiso esibangela ukuthi abantu bangaphathani kuhle. (UJohane 1:29; KwabaseRoma 6:23) Usebeke uMbuso ozakwenza ukuthi kube lokulunga lokwahlulela kuhle emhlabeni. (U-Isaya 32:1; 2 Phetro 3:13) Ukuze ufunde okunengi ngoMbuso lo, bukela ividiyo ethi, Uyini UMbuso KaNkulunkulu?\nImpilo izabe isinjani emhlabeni omutsha?\nNxa sokulokwahlulela okuhle emhlabeni wonke abantu bazakholisa ukuthula lokuvikeleka. (U-Isaya 32:16-18) UNkulunkulu uzabaphatha ngendlela efananayo bonke abantu ngoba bonke baqakathekile kuye. Ubuhlungu bonke obubangelwe yikungaphathwa kuhle buzaphela du njalo sizakhohlwa lamanxeba ezinto ezimbi ezake zenzakala kithi. (U-Isaya 65:17; ISambulo 21:3, 4) Ukuze uthole okunengi ngendaba le, bala isihloko esithi, “UMbuso KaNkulunkulu Uzabenzelani Abantu?”\nKuyini okungenza sikholwe ukuthi izithembiso eziseBhayibhilini zizagcwaliseka?\nIBhayibhili kalikaze likhuthe ugatsha endabeni zeziphrofetho, kwezembali lakwezesayensi njalo lilonke nje liyavumelana. Konke lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi singakukholwa elikutshoyo. Khangela izihloko ezilandelayo ukuze uthole okunengi:\nSingakwazi njani ukuthi iBhayibhili lileqiniso? (ividiyo)\nSingenzani nxa siphathwa kubi khathesi?\nIBhayibhili lisitshela ngabantu abake bazama ukubalekela ukuphathwa kubi. Ngokwesibonelo, umphostoli uPhawuli wetheswa icala elalingenza ukuthi abulawe. Kodwa kazange aphongugoqa izandla yena ephathwa kubi. Wasebenzisa ilungelo lakhe ngokucela ukuthi icala lakhe lidluliselwe kuKhesari.—ImiSebenzi 25:8-12.\nLanxa kunjalo, konke abantu abangakuzama ukuze baqede ukungaphathwa kuhle akusoze kuphumelele. (UmTshumayeli 1:15) Kodwa abantu abanengi benelisile ukubekezela njalo baqhubeka bethokoza lanxa bephathwa kubi ngoba balokholo esithembisweni sikaNkulunkulu sokuthi uzaletha umhlaba omutsha olokulunga.\n^ indima 9 UJehova libizo likaNkulunkulu esilithola eBhayibhilini.—IHubo 83:18.\nIBhayibhili labanceda njani abanye?\nURafika wajoyina elinye iqembu elalilwela amalungelo abantu kodwa watshiyana lalo ngoba lalilodlakela. Akufunda eBhayibhilini kwamenza wananzelela ukuthi uMbuso kaNkulunkulu yiwo kuphela ozakwenza abantu baphathwe kuhle. Bukela ividiyo le uzwe okunengi ngendaba yakhe.\nU-Antoine wakhulela eLebhanoni ngesikhathi kulempi. Wayecabanga ukuthi udlakela yilo olwalungaqeda ukuphathwa kubi kwabantu. Kodwa kulamavesi amabili amnceda ukuthi angazikhathazi kakhulu ngokwakusenzakala. Bala isihloko lesi uzwe ukuthi iBhayibhili lamtshintsha njani.\nUJukka wayelwela amalungelo abantu kodwa uthi imizamo yakhe yonke yayiphelela emoyeni. Khathesi usethokoza ngoba usebenzisa isikhathi sakhe ukuthi afundise abanye ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu okuyiwo kuphela ozaletha ukuthula emhlabeni. Bala isihloko lesi uzwe okunengi ngaye.\nAmavesi akhuluma ngokuphathwa kuhle kwabantu\nUmTshumayeli 3:16: “Ngabona okunye ngaphansi kwelanga: endaweni yokwahlulela ububi babukhona.”\nIvesi le itshoni: IBhayibhili likwenza kucace ukuthi abantu abaphathwa kuhle lamuhla.\nUJobe 34:12: “Kakungeni engqondweni ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza ububi, ukuthi uSomandla angakutshila ukwahlulela kuhle.”\nIvesi le itshoni: UNkulunkulu ayisuye obangela ukuphathwa kubi kwabantu.\nUDutheronomi 32:4, 5, The Holy Bible in Ndebele: “UliDwala, lomsebenzi wakhe uphelele, ngoba zonke izindlela zakhe ziyikulunga.

UJesu wabeka siphi isibonelo esihle sokuzidela?\nNGESIKHATHI uJesu asese sephasini, wabeka isibonelo esihle sokuzidela. Bekahlala alungele ukutshwilisa nanyana ngikuphi akuthandako, ukwenzela bona athabise uZimu. (Jwa. 5:30) Ukuthembeka kwakhe bewayokufa esigodweni sokuhlunguphazwa, kumane kusitjengisa bona ukuzidela kwakhe bekunganalitho ongalilinganisa nakho.—Flp. 2:8.\n2. Singaba njani nomoya wokuzidela? Kubayini kufuze senze njalo?\n2 Ngebanga lokuthi nathi sikhamba emanyathelweni kaJesu, kufuze sizidele. Yeke, nasikhuluma ngokuzidela, sikhuluma ngani? Nasesiyikha phezulu, ukuzidela kulokha navane umuntu alulukela ukukhamba ibanga bona asize abanye. Ngamanye amagama, ukuzidela yinto ephambene nomrhobholo. (Funda uMatewu 16:24, NW.) Ukungabi nomrhobholo ngikho okusenza sibeke abanye qangi, bese thina size muva. (Flp. 2:3, 4) NoJesu watjho wathi, ukungabi nomrhobholo kuyisika yokukhulekela kwethu, ngani ngoba ithando lobuKrestu elihlohlozela umoya wokuzidela, ngilo elisenza abalandeli bakhe bamambala. (Jwa. 13:34, 35) Cabanga nangendlela esibusisiseke ngayo ngokuba yingcenye yebandla lobuKrestu elinomoya wokuzidela ephasineli loke nje.\n3. Khuyini okungapontjisa umoya wokuzidela esinawo?\n3 Kodwana sisabambene itjhumi lezandla phezulu nenaba lethu elikhukhutha ngemva kwethu, lifuna ukupontjisa umoya wokuzidela esinawo lo. Inaba esikhuluma ngalweli, mrhobholo. Khewucabange ngokuba marhamaru kwaka-Adamu no-Eva. U-Eva waba nehliziyo ede yokufuna ukulingana noZimu. Nobabakhona waragela tjhubelo nomrhobholo loyo ngoba batjho ufuna ukuthabisa unakwakhe. (Gen. 3:5, 6) Kwathi nasekaqedile ngo-Adamu no-Eva, uDeveli wajikela ngebantwini. Isiga sakheso, wakhe walinga nokusenza kuJesu. (Mat. 4:1-9) Namhlanjesi uSathana sekakhiphe abantu abanengi khulu esiporweni, wabenza baba marhamaru ngazo zoke iindlela. Yeke nathi kufuze siwutjheje umoya lo, ngombana nasingawulemuki ungasibamba kube yincani indawo.—Efe. 2:2.\n4. (a) Kuyinto engenzeka na, bona silwisane ngokupheleleko nomrhobholo? Hlathulula. (b) Kuzokudenjwa miphi imibuzo?\n4 Umrhobholo singawufanisa nokurusa kwesimbi. Isimbi nayinethwa iyarusa. Yeke, ingozi iba kulokha nasibona ukuthi isimbi le iyarusa, kodwana sikweqisele amehlo lokho, bekube sezingeni lokurhirika komakhiwo ngebanga layo. Kunjalo nangathi, nanyana okwanje singekhe salwisana ngokupheleleko nesono esikithi kunye nomrhobholo onande uvusa ihloko, kodwana kufuze sihlale siyiphaphamele ingozi leyo, begodu silwisane nayo. (1 Kor. 9:26, 27) Siwabona njani-ke amatshwayo womrhobholo kithi? Khuyini esingakwenza bona sihlale silungele ukuzidela?\nSEBENZISA IBHAYIBHELI EKUZINGELENI UMRHOBHOLO\n5. (a) IBhayibheli lifana ngani nesiboniboni? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.) (b) Nasiziqala amakole womrhobholo, ngikuphi okungakafaneli sikwenze?\n5 Nasikghona ukuziqala esibonibonini bese silungisa imitjhapho ethileko endleleni esiqaleka ngayo, kwalaphi ukuthi singasebenzisa iBhayibheli njengaso bona sihlolisise imitjhapho engaphakathi kithi bese siyilungise? (Funda uJakopo 1:22-25.) Nokho, isiboniboni silisizo kwaphela nengabe sisetjenziswa ngendlela efaneleko. Ngokwesibonelo, nasithi tjhazi kwaphela esibonibonini, singaphundwa makodlana amancani angasifakela amehlo wabantu. Kanti godu nasiziqala butjhigama esibonibonini, singabe besibone nomunye umuntu. NeBhayibheli linjalo-ke, nasifuna ukulisebenzisa ngomnqopho wokubona amakole anjengomrhobholo, akukafaneli silifunde butjhobhori namkha silifundele ukuqala imitjhapho yabanye.\n6. ‘Sikhamba’ njani ngomthetho opheleleko?\n6 Nasi isibonelo, iBhayibheli singalifunda mihle namalanga, kodwana sibhalelwe kubona amakodlana amancani womrhobholo akhelako kithi. Kungenzeka njani lokho? Cabanga nganaku: UJakopo nakakhuluma ngesiboniboni emfanekiswenakhe lo, bekangatjho ukuthi umuntu lo ubhalelwe kuziqalisisa. Phela uthi umuntu ‘uqala ubuso bakhe esibonibonini.’ Yeke, la uJakopo usebenzise isenzo sesiGirigi esitjho ukuhlaziya, namkha ukuyivulela amehlo indaba. Ngokwalokhu-ke bewuyini umraro womuntu lo? UJakopo uyanaba: “Kuthi ngemva kokuziqala, asuke akhambe akhohlwe bona gade anjani.” Kutjho ukuthi umuntu lo uvele wasuka esipilini, wakweqisela amehlo lokho akubonileko. Ngakwelinye ihlangothi, umuntu obusisiweko akagcini ngokuqalisisa “emthethweni opheleleko” kwaphela, kodwana ‘ukhamba nangawo.’ Kunokuthi atjhiye umthetho opheleleko oseliZwini lakaZimu, umuntu lo ulinga ngamandla ukunamathela kiwo. NoJesu wakhe wayiphatha indaba le nakathi: “Nanijame efundiswenami, nibafundi bami bamambala.”—Jwa. 8:31.\n7. Singalisebenzisa njani iBhayibheli ekuzingeleni umrhobholo?\n7 Yeke, newuzakuphumelela ekulwisaneni nemikghwa yokuba marhamaru, kufuze ulifundisise iliZwi lakaZimu. Ukwenza njalo kungakusiza uziphaphamele izinto ezitlhoga ukulungiswa. Kodwana akupheleli lapho, ngombana kusafuze wembe utjhinge nangerhubhululo. Nasewuyizwa kuhle indaba eseBhayibhelini, zifake kiyo ngokuzibuza nasi imibuzo: ‘Mina bengingenzani ebujamwenobu? Kazi bungangani ubuhle ebengizobenza?’ Okuqakatheke khulu, zindla ngakho bewukusebenzise lokho osanda ukukufunda. (Mat. 7:24, 25) Khesibone-ke ukuthi indaba yeKosi uSawula nompostoli uPitrosi ingasisiza njani sihlale silungele ukuzidela.\nFUNDA EMTJHAPHWENI WEKOSI USAWULA\n8. USawula bekayiKosi enjani nekakuthoma ukubusa? Sikutjhwiso yini lokho?\n8 IKosi yakwa-Israyeli, uSawula, isiyeleliso esihle sokuthi umrhobholo ungaqabhela njani endleleni ebesizidela ngayo emsebenzini kaZimu. Nekazakuthoma ukubusa, uSawula bekayikosi enesithunzi nethobekileko. (1 Sam. 9:21) Akhange awahlunguphaze ama-Israyeli egade akhuluma kumbi ngobukhosi bakhe, ngitjho nanyana bekangakwenza lokho nekafuna ukuvikela isikhundla sakhe asiphiwe nguZimu. (1 Sam. 10:27) IKosi uSawula, yazithoba, yemukela umoya kaZimu njengesinqophiso ngesikhathi isiza ama-Israyeli bona aphumelele epini yawo nama-Amoni, begodu ngemva kwalokho, yathatha loke idumo yalisa kuJehova.—1 Sam. 11:6, 11-13.\n9. Kweza njani bona uSawula abe nezenzo zomrhobholo?\n9 Kwathi ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, uSawula wavumela umrhobholo wakhela kuye njengerusi. Banebutho lakhe bathi nabaqeda ukuhlula ama-Amalekhi epini, akhange asayingena yokuthobela uJehova, wathoma ukuzenzela izinto ngeyakhe indlela. Wababalela izinto ebekufuze zibhujiswe, bewazakhela nelitje lesikhumbuzo ngokuziphakamisa. (1 Sam. 15:3, 9, 12) Kwathi umphorofidi uSamyela nekamtjela bona uJehova akakayithandi into ayenzileko le, uSawula wabamba la, walisa, wathi batjho ukwenzile lokho uZimu amthume khona, begodu nje yena kuyamrara ukuthi ukhonjelwani ngomuno. Wabe waphosa umlandu kilabo ebebakhambe naye. (1 Sam. 15:16-21) Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusaba amehlwabantu kwenza uSawula wabhala ukuvuma phambi kwabo ukuthi unomlandu kuZimu. (1 Sam. 15:30) Indaba kaSawula le, singayisebenzisa njani-ke njengesiboniboni esizosisiza silungele ukuzidela?\n10, 11. (a) Okwenzeka kuSawula kusifundisani ngendaba yokulwela ukuzidela? (b) Singayibalekela njani ikambo engakalungi kaSawula?\n10 Kokuthoma, okwenzeka kuSawula kusifundisa bona angekhe sabaleka namatomu, sivike ngokuthi, ‘ingani ngaphambilini ngazidela, kuyatjho-ke ukuthi nanje ngingakghona.’ (1 Thim. 4:10) Khumbula bona soke isikhathesi, uSawula bekenza kuhle phambi kwakaZimu bekwaba kulapho abhalelwa khona kulawula imikghwa emimbi yomrhobholo eyathoma ukwakhela kuye. UJehova wamfulathela-ke uSawula ngebanga lokuthi besekalihlongandlebe.\n11 Kwesibili, kufuze sikuphaphamele ukudzimelela ezintweni esizenza kuhle, bese sizibe lezo okufuze ngathana ngizo esilwela ukuzenza kuhle. Ukwenza njalo kungafana nokuziqala esipilini sibone ukuthi izembatho ezitjhezo zisihlala njani, bese silibala ukuqala umtjhapho osebusweni. Ngitjho nanyana kithi kungekhe kwafana nekokuzikhukhumeza kwakaSawula, kodwana kufuze sitjheje nanyana ngiyiphi into engasikhipha esiporweni. Ngokungafani noSawula, thina naselulekwako akukafaneli sibaleke namatomu ngesikwenzileko, sizivikele, namkha sivike ngabanye. Kunalokho, kuhle bona thina sisamukele ngehliziyo emhlophe isiluleko.—Funda iRhubo 141:5.\n12. Umoya wokuzidela ungasisiza njani bona singakhaseli eziko?\n12 Kuthiwani-ke nangabe senze isono esimabhombo? USawula bekangalifuni ihlazo, lokho kwamenza wabhalelwa kululama ekubogabogeni ngokomoya. Ngokungafani naye, thina sifuna umoya wokuzidela lo usenze silihlule ihlazo, samukele isizo esilitlhogako. (IzA. 28:13; Jak. 5:14-16) Ngokwesibonelo, omunye umzalwana wathoma ukubukela iinthombe ezisilapheleko zomseme aneminyaka eli-12, waraga njalo nokuzibukela bekwadlula neminyaka elitjhumi. Nasekatjho uthi: “Bekubudisi kwamambala ukutjela umkami nabadala ngomukghwa lo. Kodwana njengombana sengibatjelile, ngizizwa kwanga kususwe ilitje elikhulu emahlombe wami. Abanye babangani bami badana kwamambala nabezwa bona angisese yinceku ekhonzako, kwaba ngathi ngibahlazisile. Kodwana okungithabisako kukuthi uJehova ungamukela khudlwana nje, kunangesikhathi ngisabukela ipatlapatla le, begodu nguye umuntu ebengitshwenyeke ngaye khulu.”\nUPITROSI WAWUHLULA UMRHOBHOLO\n13, 14. Yabonakala ngani imikghwa yomrhobholo kuPitrosi?\n13 Umpostoli uPitrosi naye bekanawo umoya wokuzidela ngesikhathi uJesu ambandula. (Luk. 5:3-11) Kodwana kwafuneka bona alwisane nomukghwa womrhobholo ebesewuthoma ukuvusa ihloko. Ngokwesibonelo, wakwata waqeda itjhukela ngokuzwa bona uJakopo noJwanisi bebaragelele uJesu erhorhomejeni ngeendaba yokuthi abalungisele iinkhundla nakafika emBusweni kaZimu. Kungenzeka uPitrosi bekadlumbana bona esinye seenkhundlezo bekufuze kube ngesakhe njengombana noJesu wakhe watjho bona uPitrosi kunendima ekhethekileko okufuze ayiphethe. (Mat. 16:18, 19) Kodwana uJesu wabakhalima boke njalo, uJakopo, uJwanisi, uPitrosi nabanye abapostoli ngokufuna ‘ukuba namandla’ phezu kwabanakwabo.—Mar. 10:35-45.\n14 Ngitjho nangemva kobana uJesu alinge ukumfaka endleleni, uPitrosi bekasolo alwisana nomukghwa lo. Ngesikhathi uJesu atjela abapostoli ukuthi bazombalekela kwesikhatjhana, uPitrosi wabaqalela phasi laba abanye ngokwenza kwanga nguye yedwa othembekileko. (Mat. 26:31-33) Kodwana kwathi nasekubudisi ngobusuku bamhlokho, wabhalelwa kukwenza njengokutjho kwakhe. Kunokuthi avele ngaphambili, wanyula ukuzivikela, waphika bekwaba kathathu ukuthi uyamazi uJesu.—Mat. 26:69-75.\n15. Nasesikuqala koke okwenziwa nguPitrosi, sikhuthazwa yini?\n15 Nasesizibekela ngancanye-ke zemitjhapho nokubogaboga kwakhe, uPitrosi yena bekamumuntu osibonelo. Ngesizo lomoya ocwengileko kaZimu nangokuzikhandla, uPitrosi wagcina ayihlulile imikghwa leyo, wathoma ukuzibamba nokuzidela ngokusuka ehliziyweni. (Gal. 5:22, 23) Wahlula iintjhijilo ezimabhombo khulu kunalezo ezambhalela phambilini. Wazithoba ngesikhathi umpostoli uPowula amkhalima phambi kwabantu. (Gal. 2:11-14) Kwathi ngemva kokukhalinywa kwakhe, uPitrosi akhange afukamele amavunda ngehliziyweni, ngokuzizwa kwanga uPowula umhlazisile. Kunalokho, wakutjho bunqopha ukuthi uyamthanda uPowula. (2 Pit. 3:15) Isibonelo sakaPitrosi singasisiza silwele ukuzidela.\nWasabela njani uPitrosi ngemva kokukhalinywa? Singakwenza nathi lokho? (Qala isigaba 15)\n16. Kungabonakala njani bona sikulungele ukuzidela ngitjho nebujamweni obubudisi?\n16 Khewuzibuze bona wena ungenza njani nasekubudisi. UPitrosi nabanye abapostoli babotjhwa bebabetjhwa ngebanga lokutjhumayela, kodwana bathaba “ngombana bazibona bafanelwe kuhlunguphazwa ngebanga [lebizo lakaJesu].” (IzE. 5:41) Nawe-ke ukuhlunguphazwa kwakho ungakuqala njengethuba lokulingisa uPitrosi bese ukhamba emanyathelweni kaJesu ngokuzidela. (Funda 1 Pitrosi 2:20, 21.) Lokho kungakusiza ngitjho nalokha abadala nebakufaka endleleni. Lingisa uPitrosi kunokuthi uzivikele.—UmTj. 7:9.\n17, 18. (a) Singazibuzani ngeminqopho yethu yokusebenzela uZimu? (b) Khuyini esingakwenza nasesilemuka umrhobholwanyana thize ngeenhliziyweni zethu?\n17 Isibonelo sakaPitrosi singakusiza nakilokho onqophe ukukwenzela uZimu, bona ukwenze ngokuzidela. Kodwana utjheje, ungaziletheli idumo ngezintwezo. Yeke, zibuze, ‘Inga-kghani ukwandisa isikhathi sami sokusebenzela uJehova, namkha ukuthuthuka kwamokhu, kukhambisana nokuthi ngifuna ukubukwa namkha isikhundla? Lokho akufani na, nokwenziwa nguJakopo noJwanisi nebazakuragelela uJesu ngokuzifunela iinkhundla?’\n18 Nengabe kunomrhobholwanyana thize ngehliziywenakho, bawa uJehova akusize ulungise ingqondwakho namazizo; bese ulinga ngamandla ukuphazimulisa yena kunokuzidumisa wena. (Rhu. 86:11) Nawe phela angekhe wafuna iminqopho ezokufakela amehlo. Kunalokho, ungalinga ukuzihlola ekutheni kukuphi la usilela khona ngokomoya, bese ulwele ukulungisa. Okunye ongakuqala, kukuthi nanyana wenza kuhle ezintweni ezingokomoya, njengokulungiselela imihlangano, uzizwa njani ngokuhlanganyela ekuhlanzeni iWolo lomBuso? Ngemva kwalokho, linga ukwenza okutjhiwo maRoma 12:16.—Ifunde.\n19. Khuyini okufuze sikwenze nasidaniswa mitjhapho esiyibona nasiziqala esipilini esililizwi lakaZimu?\n19 Nasiziqalisisa kuhle esibonibonini esililiZwi lakaZimu, bese sibona imitjhapho nezinto ezinjengomrhobholo, singaphelelwa mamandla. Nengabe kunjalo nangawe, khumbula umuntu obusisekileko loya emfanekisweni kaJakopo. UJakopo akhange atjho bona umuntu loyo uyilungise msinyana kanganani imitjhapho ayibonileko, begodu akhange atjho nokuthi uyilungise yoke imitjhapho yakhe; kunalokho, uJakopo uthi ‘ukhamba emthethweni opheleleko.’ (Jak. 1:25) Umuntu lo ukukhumbulile akubone esipilini, walinga ukukulungisa. Ungaphelelwa mamandla ngebanga lemitjhapho oyenzako. (Funda umTjhumayeli 7:20.) Ragela phambili nokukhamba emthethweni opheleleko, uhlale ukulungele ukuzidela. UJehova naye ahlala akulungele ukukusiza, njengombana sebabanengi abanakwenu abasizileko, nabo abangakapheleli njengawe kodwana kuZimu bayathandeka.


Izenzo 13:38 ziyayibeka, “Nina noke bazalwane kuzamele nazi bonyana kungebanga lakaJesu bona umlayezo wokulitjalelwa kwezono utjhunyayelwe kini; kuzamele nikwazi bona okholwako kuye ukhululiwe ezonwenezi.”\nIye kubulula kangako! Angekhe wakusebenzela ukulitjalelwa nguZimu. Angekhe wakubhadalela ukulitjalelwa nguZimu. Ungakwamukela kwaphela, ngekholo, ngomusa nesirhawu sakaZimu. Newufuna ukwamukela uJesu Krestu njengomphulusi wakho begodu ufumane ukulitjalelwa okuvela kuZimu, nawu umthandazo osibonelo. Khumbula, ukutjho lo nofana ingaba nangimuphi omunye umthandazo ngekhe kwakuphulusa. Kuthembela kuKrestu kwaphela okungakuphulusa esonweni. Umthandazo lo sewuyindlela yokuzwakalisa kuZimu ikholo lakho kuYe begodu umthokoze ngokukwenzela bona uphuluswe.\n"Zimu, Ngiyazi bona ngikonele begodu ngifanelwe sijeziso. Kodwana uJesu Krestu wathatha isijeziso esifanele mina kuzakuthi nengibonisa ikholo kuYe ngilitjalelwe. Ngibeka ithemba lami kuWe bona ngiphuluswe. Ngiyathokoza umusa nokulibalela kwakho – Amen!"

UMajaha wathi eseqede imisebenzi yakhe yangekhaya wathi,\n“Kahle kengiyevakatshela abangane bami ngaphetsheya komfula.”\nNango-ke ephuma echelesile etshaya umlozwi equma egangeni ngokuyindledlana okwakuzamfikisa masinyane. Wathi esedlula isithiyo esasenziwe ngezigodo, wezwa,\n“Majaha, mngane wami, akusondele ungivulele lapha ngiphume. Sengifile liphango lokoma.”\nKwakunguSilwane encenga ngelizwi elihawulisayo. UMajaha lalilijaha elilesihawu njalo elilomusa. Kodwa wayeke wezwa ngendumela ezimbi zikaSilwane. Ngakho wathi,\n“Ngiyafuna ukukusiza. Kodwa, bayakutsho wena ukuthi ulomoya omubi. Ngizakusiza lapha ucine usungidla.”\n“Hatshi mngane wami Majaha. Ngiyabe ngililema langaphi elingabongiyo?”\n“Mmh, Silwane? Uqinisile?”\n“Ngiqinisile sibili, mngane wami. Ake ungizwele. Sengiyatha ngendlala.”\nUMajaha waphambuka, wafika waphakamisa izigodo lezo ezazivale umjibila lowo owawuvalele uSilwane. Waphuma uSilwane welula imikhono le eyayisilenkantsho. Amathambo athi, qha-qha-qha!Wabe esithi,\n“Ya-a! Ngisake ngiyenatha amanzi ngicitshe umhawu.Ngizabuya sengikudla ngikuqhobe ngisuthe.” Wamangala uMajaha\n“Hawu! Njani mngane? Angithi uthembisile ukuthi awusoze\n“Uyinyama yami wena,” esitsho uSilwane esekhohliwe ukuthi ubehawula encenga engakakhutshwa emjibileni.\n“Ungiqeda amathe Silwane. Kodwa kungcono kesibuze kwabanye lapha eguswini ukuthi lokho ofuna ukungenza khona mina ngikusizile kuqondile na. Kulungile yini ukwephula izithembiso?”\n“Kulungile, Asibambisane indlela ngisiyanatha amanzi!”\nKhonalokho nje, ngqwa loNkomo. UMajaha wabuza wathi, “Nkomo mngane, akusilamule lapha. Ngifice uSilwane evalelwe phakathi kwesithiyo, wacela ngomusa ukuba ngimkhuphe. Bengisala ngisesaba ukuthi uzangidla. Kodwa uthembisile ukuthi angeke enze into yokuganga enjalo. Ngithe sengimkhuphile, nango sefuna ukungidla. Kulungile na ukwephula izithembiso?”\nUNkomo wanwaya ikhanda wasesithi, “Mooo! Ya-a, lina abantu alilazwelo. Ngisesemutsha lalingithanda ngilipha uchago. Njalo izihlobo zami zazidonsa ikhuba kulinywa zisenza leminye imisebenzi eminengi. Kodwa sengigugile nginje, ngiyakwazi ukuthi sengizabulawa, kudliwe inyama, isigogo sami senziwe izambatho zenu. Ngivumelana loSilwane. Uyinyama yakhe wena!”\n“Angithi uyezwa-ke?” uSilwane eveza ingavula zamazinyo ezesabekayo ekhotha ulimi.\nWadana uMajaha wathi, “Hatshi, angisuthiseki. Ake sibuze enye inyamazana njalo. Bahlangana lobabhemi osegugile, wabika indaba uMajaha. UBabhemi wathi,\n“O-hi, ohi, ohi, ohi! Yebo, kuhle udliwe wena. Uyinyama kaSilwane. Lilochuku lina abantu. Ngangisebenzela izihlobo zakho gadalala. Khathesi sengigugile angiselamandla, sengilahlelwa egangeni. Kuhle khonalokho na?”\nUMajaha kasuthisekanga, wacela ukuthi abuze kwenye njalo inyamazana. USilwane wayengasela sineke, sokumphuzele ukuthi ayenatha amanzi abe esemudle uMajaha. Khonokho nje, nango uKhanka eqolotsha esedlula lapho. UMajaha wammisa wamlandisela indaba. UKhanka wasondela eduzane wathi,\n“Uthini Majaha, kangikuzwisis? Silwane, uqinisile yini ujaha lo ngalokho akutshoyo?”\nUSilwane wathi, “Ye-e! Yikholokho sibili akutshoyo.”\nUKhanka wema wanwaya ikhanda ekhangele phansi wathi, “Wo-o! Kodwa, angizwisisi kahle. Kungono sihambe siye khonalapho okulesithiyo Silwane, ukuze ungitshengise lapho obukade ukhona ukuze ngibone kahle. Angikuboni elikutshoyo.”\nWacaphuka uSilwane ngoba sekumphuzela ukuthi amqhobe uMajaha lo. Kodwa watshitsha phambili wathi,\n“Kulungile. Woza ngikutshengise!”\nBahaluzela bebuyela emuva. Bafika uSilwane wathi,\n“Wo-o! Ngena sibone ukuthi bekuvalwe njani kuze ngisuthiseke. UMajaha yena wayesehawula esengumhlanga emfuleni ohubayo emi lapho. “Wena Majaha, vala sibone ukuthi bekuvalwe njani.” Waphakamisa icele lesithiyo eqhuqha uMajaha. USilwane ngeniyani. UMajaha valiyani. Uthe eqeda, uKhanka wakhangela ngelihlo elihlekayo, wathi,\n“Yetshwa-a-a! Hlala lapho uze ufe yindlala mthakathi wezigodo! Wakubona ngaphi ukuthi umuntu okusizileyo uyadliwa?

Ikhambo ngenyawo e-Robben Island\nIimvelo Yamambala Yesihlengeleni\nIndlela enqhono yokubukela imvelo yesihlengelesi kukhamba kiso. Ngabanetjhudu ukuphiwa ithuba lokwenza lokho, ngingatjho bona ikhambo lami esihlengelenesi kwakungelimnandi ukuwadlula woke epilwenami. ’ukwalandela lapho, kwabayincazelo encani ngekhambelo. Ukuzombeleza ishlengelweso esimamitha ayi-12 kwangithatha ama-iri amane ukobane ngikuqeda, ngizikhambela kancani. Ishlengelesi siyindawo espara, ngaphandle kwelanga elitjhisako uzikhambela kamnandi. Iindlela ezithulileko kanye nezindlu zakhona ezingahlalwa babantu zoke zitjhiswa lilanga lokha abahlai bakhamba abanye basuka abanye baya kizo. Kunenkoloyi ezimbalwa eshlengelenesi, kunekoloyi elayitjha abasebenzi eshlengelenesi soke.\nSikhuluma nje kunabantu abangaba ma-150, abahlala eshlengelenesi, begodu batmphakathi opheleleko. Kunehlangano yalapha ejamele abahlali balapha i-(RIVA Robben Island Village Association), kukhona ngitjho nephephandaba lakhona eliphuma nyangazoke elibizwa bona yi-The Lighthouse.\nKufanele bona kunomzwangedwa, nanyana kunjalo kumnandi, njengoba umphakathi omunye nomunye kufale ube njalo. Kodwana ebusuku, lokha kuthoma ukuvunguza umoya, ishlengelesi sitjhugulula ubuso sithome ukuthusa. Omunye wabentwana abahlala lapha walinga ukungithusa ngendaba zempoko ezikhambakhamba endleleni ezinzima. Ngamkholwa, nanabe ikhona indawo ephasini enempoko zakade kufanele kube yi-Robben Island. Entambama leyo, lokha nangileleko embhedeni, ngingedwa emzini wemvakatjhi, ngaqabanga bona ngizwe ukukhambakhamba komutnu ojame eduze kwevesidiri.\nKuyayarara ukubona bona kunabantwana abangakhi abahlala lapha. U-Allice engangivakatjhe kuye unabantwana ababili abancani, begodu uthi, kuyindawo ehle yokukhulisela abentwana, begodu iphephile. Ivalelekile kunokubola kwemadorobheni kwephasi lanamhlanjesi. Inentlabagelo zokudlala ezinengi, ikulisa, kanye nevikili 9 abahlali bakhona abasalibiza i-The Mess jarida lskolo linetjhada, kuyindawo yethabo, abahlali balapha baduda edamini lokwenziwa elinesisebenzi esibagadileko. Begodu lihlala limatasatasa.\nNgale kwesigoga, into yokuthoma oyibonako yi-view. Ubona intaba i-Table mountain ehle kufanele bona gade kubuhlungu embotjhweni ukubona iKapa kodwana bangakghoni ukuya kilo, iPumalanga yeshlengelesi izele amakhambo webhesi, kodwana awukghoni ukuthabela i-Vista ngaphandle kokobana utjhayele kancani. Ngalithabela ikhambeli ngokuqala i-the Alpha One outpost, kanye nensalela zomkhumbi i-Fong Chung, ikoponi yamasotja emosekileko, IWWII lookouts engasathlogonyelwako, kanye negwari endala ka-Van Riebeeck 9 kwanjesi esele izele ngamanzi ahlaza, nehlala izele iinyoni)\nNasiragela phambili ngekhambo lapha iimbhesi zijika khona ziqale ngemzini onelekghe, utjhiya incenye ephuqukileko yeshlengele ngemva ungene ehlathini elisetjingalanga. Lapha, iimvelo ivunyelwe bona ibekhona, iphawu lokobana iphazamiswa babantu ulibona ngendledlana yamatje elapho. Umdomo welwandle uzala iindlebe zakho, njengoba iinyoni zelwandle zihlangana ngobuneni ematjeni. Iinkomo zomango zidla ngokuthula etjanini obude, magega nendlela. Kodwana ikhambeli alibhori. Nawulapho ukghona nokubona ekapa, ubone iindawo ezifana ne-City bowl, Sea point kuya e-Camps Bay, Twelve Apostles kanye ne-Chapman’s Peak nekuyi-view ongaze wayithola nanjana kiyiphi indawo ephasinapha.\nIsibanga esifitjhani nawudlulako, kunendlu encani esikepe kanye nedamu akukukade lingasasetjenziswa elibizwa bona –yi Baths of Bethesda, lapho abantu egade banobulwelwe besilephero gade bahlambela khona emanzini welwandle apholisako amakhaza. Ishlengelesi sinedoyelo lekanophendlwane elifihleke ngemva komuthi we-bluegum ongesidleni, njengoba ilwandle lingesinceleni. Phambili kunelwandle elivulekileko. Kuthule kuthe du. Eduze kwaphezulu eshlengeleni, uthola igwari, lapha iimbotjhwa ezinengi zeshlengeleni gade zenza umsebenzi obudisi, nalapha egade zitlhoriswa khona. Kunentuntuma yamatje aphukileko, nawujame eduze kwegwarelo ukghona ukubona bona imbotjhwa zakade gade zitlhoriswa.


Ufundisa Ngokutlhala Nangokuthanda Abantwana | Ipilo KaJesu\nUfundisa Ngokutlhala Nangokuthanda Abantwana\nMATEWU 19:1-15 MARKOSI 10:1-16 LUKASI 18:15-17\nUJESU UKHULUMA NGENDLELA UZIMU AKUQALA NGAYO UKUTLHALA\nKUTLHOGEKA SIFANE NABANTWANA ABANCANI\nNabasuka eGalile, uJesu nabafundi bakhe bayama uMlambo iJordani bese bathatha indlela etjhinga esewula ekhamba ngePhereya. Ngaphambilini uJesu nakasePhereya watjela abaFarisi ngebanga uJehova alibekileko malungana nokutlhala. (Lukasi 16:18) Nje bavusa indaba leyo bona balinge uJesu.\nUMosi watlola ukuthi indoda ingatlhala umkayo “ngebanga lokobana ibone ubutjhophori kuye.” (Duteronomi 24:1) Kunemibono ehlukileko ngokuthi ngiliphi ibanga elivumelekileko lokutlhala. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi umuntu angatlhala nangebanga lezinto ezincani. Nje-ke abaFarisi bayabuza: “Kuvumelekile na ukuthi indoda itlhale umkayo ngananyana ngisiphi isizathu?”—Matewu 19:3.\nKunokuthi athabise abantu, ngokuhlakanipha uJesu ukhuluma ngendlela uZimu athome ngayo umtjhado. “Akhenge nifunde na ukuthi owababumba kusukela ekuthomeni wabenza baba ngomduna nomsikazi wathi: ‘Ngalokho indoda izokutjhiya uyise nonina inamathele kumkayo, begodu ababilaba bazokuba yinyama yinye’? Nje-ke abasesebabili, kodwana bayinyama yinye. Ngalokho-ke, lokho uZimu akuhlanganisileko, akungabi nomuntu okuhlukanisako.” (Matewu 19:4-6) UZimu nakenza umtjhado wokuthoma phakathi kwaka-Adamu no-Eva, khenge enze ilungiselelo lokuthi bangawuphelisa.\nAbaFarisi baphikisa uJesu, bathi: “Alo-ke, kubayini uMosi ayale bona indoda inikele umkayo incwadi yokumqotha bese iyamtlhala?” (Matewu 19:7) UJesu uthi kibo: “Acabangela iinhliziyo zenu eziqinileko, uMosi waninikela imvume yokutlhala abafazi benu, kodwana bekungasi njalo ekuthomeni.” (Matewu 19:8) UJesu nakathi “ekuthomeni” utjho ngesikhathi uZimu athoma umtjhado e-Edeni; ingasi ngesikhathi sakaMosi.\nNgemva kwalokho, uJesu ubeka iqiniso eliqakathekileko uthi: “Ngiyanitjela ukuthi nanyana ngubani otlhala umkakhe ongakenzi izenzo zomseme ezisisono [ngesiGirigi yi-por·neiʹa], bese atjhade nomunye uyafeba.” (Matewu 19:9) Kusemtarini ukuthi ibanga elivumelekileko ngokomTlolo lokutlhala, zizenzo zomseme ezisisono.\nNabezwa lokho abafundi bathi: “Nangabe ubujamo bunjalo ngendoda nomkayo, kungcono ukungatjhadi.” (Matewu 19:10) Kusemtarini-ke ukuthi umuntu ocabanga ukutjhada kufuze azi bona umtjhado yinto ehlala unomphela!\nNakakhuluma ngokungatjhadi, uJesu uhlathulula ukuthi abanye babelethwa babaphakulwa, abakghoni ukuya emsemeni. Abanye benziwe baba baphakulwa, nabo abakghoni ukuya emsemeni. Nokho, kunabanye abavimba isifiso sabo sokuthabela ukuya emsemeni. Benza lokhu ngombana bafuna ukudzimelela ngokuzeleko ezintweni zomBuso kaZimu. UJesu ukhuthaza abamlaleleko uthi, “Loyo okghona ukukwamukela lokho [ukungatjhadi] akakwamukele.”—Matewu 19:12.\nAbantu bathoma ukuletha abantwana babo abancani kuJesu. Nokho, abafundi bayabakhalima, kungenzeka abafuni uJesu aphazanyiswe. Nakabona lokhu, uJesu uyasilingeka uthi kibo: “Vumelani abantwana beze kimi; ningalingi ukubavimba, ngombana umBuso kaZimu ungewabanjalo. Kwamambala ngithi kini, nanyana ngubani ongamukeli umBuso kaZimu njengomntwana omncani, angekhe angene kiwo.”—Markosi 10:14, 15; Lukasi 18:15.\nSifundo esihle khulu lesi! Nangabe sifuna ukufumana umBuso kaZimu, kufuze sithobeke begodu sifundiseke njengabantwana abancani. UJesu utjengisa indlela abathanda ngayo abantwana ngokubasingatha ababusise. Unethando elinjalo ngabo boke ‘abamukela umBuso kaZimu njengomntwana omncani.’—Lukasi 18:17.\nAbaFarisi bamlinga njani uJesu ngendaba yokutlhala?\nNgokutjho kwakaJesu, ngiliphi ibanga uZimu alibekileko malungana nokutlhala?\nKubayini kungenzeka abanye abafundi bakhethe ukungatjhadi?\nNgisiphi isifundo uJesu asifundisako ngendlela aphatha ngayo abantwana?\nAtjho Ukuthini Amezwi KaJesu Ngesiphiwo Sokungatjhadi?

Imbongi iyababonga abantu abaNsundu ngomsebenzi omkhulu abawenzileyo owokulwisana lokunqoba isitha sathola inkululeko.\nImbongi iphetha inkondlo yayo ngesibongo esikhulu kumaqhawe, wona ayingxenye yomdaka omnyama, isizwe esiNsundu. Ithi uyesabeka uMdakomnyama, esitsho sona isizwe esiNsundu ngoba salwa sanqoba abeLungu. Imbongi idumisa abeNsundu nje ngoba balwa impi enzima yona eyaletha inguquko elizweni. Iyakhuthaza njalo imbongi ukuthi kabaqhubeke bahlome ngazo zonke izikhali zokhululekileyo emoyeni lasemzimbeni.\nBalwile abantu abaNsundu bakhuphukela ezibukweni loncindezelo behlela emfuleni wegazi.

Ukuhlangana Ngomnqopho Wokukhulekela | UmBuso KaZimu\nSizokubona ituthuko kunye nendlela eqakatheke ngayo imihlangano yethu\n1. Ngesikhathi abafundi bahlangana ndawonye, ngiliphi isizo abalithola, begodu kubayini bebalitlhoga?\nNGAPHAMBI kobana uJesu avuswe, abafundi bakhe bebahlangene ngomnqopho wokukhuthazana. Kodwana bebayilodlhele iminyango ngombana bebasaba izitha zabo. Ungayibona nawe indlela okwehlangayo amaphaphu kibo lokha uJesu nakazakujama hlangana nabo athi: “Yamukelani uMoya oCwengileko.” (Funda uJwanisi 20:19-22.) Kwathi ngemva kwalokho, abafundi buye bahlangana, nje-ke uJehova wabathululela umoya ocwengileko. Baba nerhuluphelo khulu malungana nomsebenzi wokutjhumayela!—IzE. 2:1-7.\n2. (a) UJehova usiqinisa njani, begodu kubayini simtlhoga? (b) Ihlelo lokuKhulekela komNdeni liqakatheke ngani? (Qala umtlolo ophasni nebhoksi elithi “ Ukukhulekela Komndeni,” ekhasini 175.)\n2 Nathi siqalene neentjhijilo ezifana patsi nezabazalwana bangesikhathi sakade. (1 Pit. 5:9) Ngas’ khathi, abanye bethu bahlutjhwa kusaba abantu, okuyinto esenza sitlhoge amandla avela kuJehova bona siwenze ngerhuluphelo umsebenzi wokutjhumayela. (Efe. 6:10) UJehova usebenzisa imihlangano le bona asiphe amandla lawo. Nawungaqala, sinethuba lokuya emihlanganweni emihlanu yoke evekeni—umHlangano weNengi, isiFundo sesiThala, isiFundo seBhayibheli seBandla, kunye nomhlangano wethu waphakathi neveke obizwa ngokuthi Yipilo Nomsebenzi WobuKrestu. * Sinezinye godu izenzakalo ezine qobe mnyaka—umhlangano wesifunda, imihlangano emibili yesigodi, nesiKhumbuzo sokufa kwakaKrestu. Yeke, kuqakatheke ngani ukuba khona kiyo yoke imihlangano le? Esikhathini sethu, seyithuthuke njani imihlangano? Begodu, indlela esiyiqala ngayo imihlangano le, ivezani ngathi?\nOkusenza Sihlangane Ndawonye\n3, 4. Khuyini okufunwa nguJehova ebantwini bakhe? Khewusiphe iimbonelo.\n3 UJehova bekavele athanda bona abantu bakhe bahlangane ndawonye ngomnqopho wokumkhulekela. Ngokwesibonelo, emnayekeni ka-1513, uJehova wanikela isitjhaba sakwa-Israyeli umThetho wokuthi umndeni ngamunye qobe veke kufuze ubambe iSabatha ngomnqopho wokufunda imiThetho yakhe. (Dut. 5:12; 6:4-9) Kwathi ama-Israyeli nasekayilandele ikambiso leyo, imindeni yakhuthazeka kwamambala begodu nesitjhaba sisoke saqina khulu ekukholweni kwaso, sabe sahlwengeka. Kodwana kwathi isitjhabeso nasesibhalelwa kukwenza ngokuvumelana nomThetho loyo, sathoma ukuyibethisa mthalazeni indaba yokuhlangana qobe ngomnqopho wokukhulekela uJehova. UZimu wasinghala!—Lev. 10:11; 26:31-35; 2 Kron. 36:20, 21.\n4 Cabanga nangesibonelo esabekwa nguJesu. Naye bekanesiga sokuya esinagogini qobe veke ngeSabatha. (Luk. 4:16) Kuthe ngemva kokuhlongakala kwakhe, abafundi bakhe baragela phambili nesiga sokubamba imihlangano yamlibe nanyana bebangasese ngaphasi komthetho weSabatha. (IzE. 1:6, 12-14; 2:1-4; Rom. 14:5; Kol. 2:13, 14) Emihlanganweni leyo, amaKrestu wekadeni akhenge agcine ngokuthola ifundo nesikhuthazo kwaphela, kodwana bekenza nemihlatjelo yokudumisa uZimu ngemithandazo, iimpendulo, neengoma.—Kol. 3:16; Heb. 13:15.\nAbalandeli bakaJesu bebahlangana ndawonye ngomnqopho wokukhuthazana\n5. Kubayini siya emihlanganweni yebandla yaqobe veke neyaqobe mnyaka emincani nemikhulu? (Qala nebhoksi elithi “ Imihlangano Yaqobe Mnyaka Ehlanganisa Abantu BakaZimu,” ekhasini 176.)\n5 Kunjalo nangathi nevane siya emihlanganweni yethu yaqobe veke neyaqobe mnyaka, emincani nemikhulu. Sisuke siveza ukuthi siyawusekela umBuso kaZimu, sithola amandla emoyeni ocwengileko, nokuthi siyabakhuthaza abanye ngendlela esikholwa ngayo. Kanti-ke okuqakatheke kunakho koke, kukuthi sinethuba lokukhulekela uJehova ngemithandazo yethu, iimpendulo, kunye neengoma esizivumako. Indlela imihlangano yethu ehlelwe ngayo ingahluka kileyo yesikhathini sakade, kodwana imihlangano yethu le iqakathe njengaleyo yakade. Ithuthike njani-ke imihlangano yethu namhlanjesi?\nImihlangano Yaqobe Veke Ikhuthaza ‘Ithando Nemisebenzi Emihle’\n6, 7. (a) Uyini umnqopho wemihlangano yethu? (b) Imihlangano yeenqhema beyihluke njani kweyezinye iinqhema?\n6 Mhla uMzalwana uCharles Taze Russell athoma ukurhubhulula ngeqiniso eliseliZwini lakaZimu, walemuka bona kuzofuze ahlangane nabanye abantu abanomnqopho ofanako. Ngo-1879, uRussell wathi: “Mina nalabo ebengibambisene nabo ePittsburgh, sahlela iklasi lebhayibheli lokurhubulula ngemiTlolo, begodu besihlangana qobe ngaboSondo.” Abafundi be-Zion’s Watch Tower nabo bakhuthazwa bona bahlangane ndawonye, kwathi ngo-1881 kwathonywa kwabanjwa imihlangano ePittsburgh, ePennsylvania, qobe ngoSondo nangeLesithathu. IsiThala sakaNovemba 1895 sathi umnqopho oyihloko wemihlangano le kuthuthukisa “ubunye bokukhulekela kobuKrestu nethando,” kunikele nalabo abezile ithuba lokukhuthazana.—Funda amaHebheru 10:24, 25.\n7 Eminyakeni eminengi, indlela iinqhema zabaFundi beBhayibheli ebeziyibamba ngayo imihlangano beyikhamba ihluka kwezinye iinqhema. Ngokwesibonelo, incwadi etloliweko yesiqhema se-United States eyagadangiswa ngo-1911 yathi: “Sivame ukuba nemihlangano emihlanu, iveke neveke.” Imihlangano leyo bebayibamba ngoMvulo, ngeLesithathu, ngeLesihlanu nangekabili ngoSondo. Kwathi enye incwadi eyatlolwa siqhema se-Afrika neyagadangiswa ngo-1914, yona yathi: “Sivame ukubamba imihlangano kabili ngenyanga, kusukela ngeLesihlanu bekube ngoSondo.” Kodwana ngokukhamba kwesikhathi yathuthuka indlela esiyibamba ngayo imihlangano yethu. Khewubone ukuthi kuhlekuhle umhlangano ngamunye usukaphi.\n8. Bezithini ezinye iinhloko zeenkulumo zenengi zesikhathini sakade?\n8 UmHlangano weNengi. Ngo-1880, okumnyaka ongemva kwamhla uMzalwana uRussell athoma ukugadangisa i-Zion’s Watch Tower, walingisa isibonelo sakaJesu, wathatha ikhambo lokuyokutjhumayela. (Luk. 4:43) Phakathi nekhambwelo, uMzalwana uRussell wathoma ikambiso eyagcina seyaziwa ngomHlangano weNengi esikhathini sethwesi. IsiThala nasesikhuluma ngekhambwelo sathi uRussell “uzokuthabela ukukhuluma nenengi ‘ngezinto ezimalungana nombuso kaZimu.’” Kwathi-ke ngo-1911, ngemva kokuthi kwenziwe amaklasi namakha amabandla eenarheni ezimbalwa, iklasi ngalinye belikhuthazwa bona lithumele iinkhulumi ezifanelekako ebezizokubeka umlandelande weenkulumo ezisithandathu ezikhuluma ngesahlulelo nesihlengo. Bekuthi qobe ekupheleni kwekulumo ngayinye, kumenyezelwe isihloko sekulumo yangeveke ezako kunye nesikhulumi sakhona.\n9. UmHlangano weNengi bewutjhuguluka njani njengombana iminyaka ikhamba, begodu ungawusekela njani umhlangano lo?\n9 Ngo-1945, isiThala senza isaziso sejima elimlandelande lomHlangano weNengi ebelizokuba neenkulumo zeBhayibheli ezikhuluma “ngemiraro ebeyisematheni ngeenkhathezo.” Ematjhumini amanengi weminyaka, iinkhulumi bezingasebenzisi iindaba ezivela encekwini ethembekileko kwaphela, kodwana bezizenzela nezazo iinkulumo ezisekelwe endabeni ethileko. Kodwana ngo-1981, iinkhulumezo zatjelwa bona zithome ukusebenzisa amahlaka weenkulumo athunyelwe ebandleni. * Amahlaka anjalo weenkulumo bekaba njengemikhulumiswano namkha imiboniso, lokho kwenzeka bekwaba ngo-1990; kwathi-ke ngemva komnyaka loyo, iinqophiso zekulumo zabuyekezwa, bese iinkulumo zenengi zathoma ukubekwa njengekulumo elalelwako. NgoJanabari 2008, kwaba nezinye iinlungiso, isikhathi seenkulumo saphungulwa kusukela emizuzwini ema-45 ukuya kwema-30. Nanyana kunamatjhuguluko anjalo, kodwana ikulumo nayilungiselelwe kuhle iyakuqinisa ukukholelwa eliZwini lakaZimu nekufundiseni ngeemfanelo ezihlukahlukeneko zomBuso kaZimu. (1 Thim. 4:13, 16) Yeke, uyabamema na abantu ovame ukubavakatjhela nalabo bangasiboFakazi bona bazokuzwa iinkulumo eziqakathekilekwezo zeBhayibheli?\n10-12. (a) Ngimaphi amatjhuguluko ebekasolo enzeka esiFundweni sesiThala? (b) Ngimiphi imibuzo ozabe wenza kuhle ngokuzibuza yona?\n10 IsiFundo sesiThala. Ngo-1922, abazalwana abaziwa ngama-pilgrims, okuziinkhonzi ebezithunyelwa yi-Watch Tower Society bona ziyokubeka iinkulumo emabandleni, zidose phambili nemsebenzini wokutjhumayela, zanyula bona kube nomhlangano waqobe wesifundo sesiThala. Ihlongozo leyo yamukelwa, begodu ekuthomeni, iimfundo zesiThala bezibanjwa phakani kweveke namkha ngaboSondo.\nIsiFundo sesiThala, eGhana, ngo-1931\n11 IsiThala sakaJuni 15, 1932, saba nesinqophiso esinabileko malungana nokuthi umhlangano lo kufuze uragwe njani. Isihloko ebesikhuluma ngendaba le sathi kufuze kulandelwe ikambiso yendlela izinto ezenzeka ngayo eBethel, kube nomzalwana ozokuraga umhlangano loyo. Godu bekuzokuba nabazalwana abathathu abazokuhlala phambili bese badlhegane njengombana bafunda iingaba. Kanti-ke ngesikhatheso iinhloko ezifundwako bezingabi nayo imibuzo, yeke bekubizela oraga isifundo bona anikele abalaleli ithuba lokubuza imibuzo ngendaba edenjwako bese abanye phakathi kwabo baphendule. Nengabe kunokuthileko okutlhoga ukucaciswa kuhle, oraga isifundweso bekufuze atlole “ihlathululo efitjhazana” ngalokho.\n12 Ekuthomeni, ibandla ngalinye belivumelekile bona lizikhethele isihloko elifuna ukusifunda, kuye ngokuthi bangangani abasithandako. Kodwana isiThala saka-Apreli 15, 1933, sanyula bona woke amabandla athome ukufunda isihloko esifanako sangesikhatheso. Kwathi ngo-1937, kwaba nesinqophiso sokuthi nje isifundwesi sekufuze sibanjwe ngoSondo. Iinlungiso ezinengi ezahlophisa imihlangano yethu le bona ibe ngendlela engayo nanamhlanjesi, zagadangiswa esiThaleni saka-Oktoba 1, 1942. Umagazini lo wathoma waveza ukuthi isihloko ngasinye esifundwako sesizokuthoma ukuba nemibuzo ezokusetjenziswa esesikhaleni esisekugcineni kwekhasi, begodu watjho nokuthi isifundweso kufuze sithathe isikhathi esingange-iri. Umagazini loyo wakhuthaza nalabo abaphendulako bona basebenzise “amezwi wabo” khudlwana kunokuthi bafunde ipendulo esigabeni. Isifundo sesiThala saragela phambili nokuba mhlangano waqobe, inceku ethembekileko ebeyiwusebenzisela ukukhipha ukudla ngesikhathi esifaneleko. (Mat. 24:45) Kuhle-ke bona ngamunye azibuze ukuthi: ‘Ngiyasilungiselela na isifundo sesiThala qobe veke? Ngiyalinga na ukuphendula nengikghonako?’\n13, 14. Usukaphi umlando wesiFundo seBhayibheli sebandla, begodu khuyini okuthandako ngomhlangano lo?\n13 IsiFundo seBhayibheli seBandla. Phakathi nabo-1890, ngemva kokugadangiswa kwemiqulu eembalwa ye-Millennial Dawn, uMzalwana u-H. N. Rahn, omFundi weBhayibheli ebekahlala edorobheni leBaltimore, eMaryland, e-U.S.A., wahlongoza bona kube neenqhema zesifundo seBhayibheli ebezibizwa nge-Dawn Circles. Ekuthomeni, isifundo ebesibanjelwa emizini yabazalwanesi, besiyindabamlingwa. Kwathi ngoSeptemba 1895, iinqhema zesifundwesi zathoma ukurhagala emadorobheni we-United States. IsiThala senyanga leyo sahlongoza ukuthi boke abafundi beqiniso bayibambe imihlangano enjalo. Satjho nokuthi oraga isifundweso kufuze abe mumuntu okwazi kuhle ukufunda, ngombana bekazokufunda umutjho bese avule ithuba lokuthi ukhulunyelwe. Ngemva kwesahluko ngasinye, woke okhona kwabalaleleko bekangabeka lobubodlhana ngokubuyekeza okufundiweko.\n14 Ibizo lesifundo seBhayibhelesi latjhuguluka amahlandla ambalwa, ngombana sakhe sabizwa nangokuthi Berean Circles for Bible Study, okulibizo ebelisuselwe kwebekwenziwa ngebeBheriya nabahlolisisa imiTlolo. (IzE. 17:11) Kwathi ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, ibizweli latjhugulukela kwelithi isiFundo seNcwadi seBandla. Nje, sekusiFundo seBhayibheli seBandla, begodu loke ibandla lisibamba ndawonye eWolweni lomBuso, kunangendlela ebesibanjwa ngayo phambilini njengeenqhema emizini yabazalwana. Njengombana iminyaka beyisolo ikhamba, zinengi iincwadi, iincwajana kunye neenhloko ezithileko zesiThala ebezisetjenziswa esifundwenesi. Begodu kusukela nakade, woke umuntu okhona bekakhuthazwa bona azibandakanye emhlanganweni lo. Singatjho-ke ukuthi umhlangano lo wenze likhulu ekudephiseni ilwazi lethu ngeBhayibheli. Umbuzo osalako kukuthi uyasilungiselela bewuhlanganyele ngokuzeleko na isifundwesi?\nNililandela qobe veke na, ihlelo lenu lokukhulekela komndeni?\nNJENGOMBANA amalanga wokuphela nawo sekakhambe kangaka, nehlangano kaJehova seyiyiqalelela khulu indaba yokuthi umndeni ngamunye ube nerhelo lawo lokufunda iBhayibheli. (2 Thim. 3:1) Ngokwesibonelo, incwajana ethi Home and Happiness, eyagadangiswa ngo-1932, yatjho ngokunqophileko yathi: “Akhesekuthi umndeni ngamunye ube nesiFundo sawo seBhayibheli ekhaya.” Kwathi isiThala sangoMeyi 15, 1956 naso sayikhuthaza khulu imindeni yamaKrestu bona “yenze isifundo seBhayibheli kube yinto yanjalonjalo emizinayo, khona kuzokuzuza umndeni woke. Yabuye yabuza godu yathi, “Khekwenzeke na umndenenu ufunde isiThala ndawonye ngaphambi kokuya esifundweni?”\nNgo-2009, ihlangano yakwenza kwacaca ukuthi isifundo somndeni siqakatheka kangangani, ngokuthi itjhentjhe irhelo lemihlangano yaphakathi kweveke, okusiFundo seBhayibheli seBandla, isiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini kunye nomHhlangano weKonzo zafakwa zoke njalo bona zibanjwe ngobusuku bunye. Seziragwa njalo solo kwamhlokho bekube kunamhlanjesi. Isihloko seKonzwethu yomBuso kaJanabari 2011 sathi, “Ibanga lokutjhentjhokhu gade kukunikela iimndeni ithuba lokuqinisa ubuhlobo bayo noJehova njengomndeni ngokuhlela ilanga elikhethekileko lokukhulekela komndeni evekeni.” Yabuye yathi: “Isikhathesi nisisebenzise kuhle ningarhabi nizigedlele zona ingcoco zeBhayibhelezi, nenze ngokuya ngokwalokho okutlhogwa mndeni.” *\nKhuyini okwenza ukuKhulekela komNdeni kuqakatheke kangaka ngaka, begodu kube yinto okungakafuzi isiphunde nanini? Kungebanga lokuthi kulapho umuntu athola khona amandla endabeni yobuhlobo bakhe noZimu, ingasaphathwa-ke nasiza emndenini nangebandleni. Nayibekwa ngokomfanekiso, ibandla lingafaniswa nendlu eyakhwe ngeentina. (Funda amaHebheru 3:4-6) * Nakukhulunywa ngamandla wendlu eyakhwe kuhle nangobukghwari, kusuke kukhulunywa ngezinto ezimbili—ukuqina kwesisekelo sendlu leyo nokuthi isitina ngasinye siqine kangangani. Nengabe isisekolo sayo asikaqini, nendlu leyo izokuduleka phasi. Ngitjho nendlu enesisekelo esiqinileko ingaba nemitjhapho nengabe yakhiwe ngeentina eziphutjhukako. Ibandla lobuKrestu lona lakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo esiqinine ngho, okuzimfundiso zakaKrestu. (Funda 1 Korinte 3:10-15) * Nebandleni-ke umuntu ngamunye kunye nemindeni yakhona, nabo bafaniswa neentina. Ukukhulekela komNdeni kuvula amathuba emuntwini ngamunye nemndenini bona ukwazi ukuhlala uqinile, uvuthe nekukholweni. Nakunabantu kunye nemindeni ebumbeneko, lokho kwenza namabandla aqine. Yeke, nililandela qobe veke na, ihlelo lenu lokukhulekela komndeni?\n^ isig. 59 Okhunye ongakusebenzisa nawenza ukukhulekela komndeni ungakuthola kuKonzwethu yomBuso kaJanabari 2011.\n^ isig. 60 Amezwi kaPowula bekaqalisele kilabo ‘abasekubizweni kwezulwini.’ (Heb. 3:1) Kodwana ngokomthethokambiso iselulekwesi sibandakanya woke amaKrestu.\n^ isig. 60 Nawufuna ilwazi elinabileko ngendaba yeBhayibheli le, qala isiThala sakaJulayi 15, 1999, amakhasi 12-14 iingaba 15-20. Kubayini ungafundi ukwazisokhu bowuzindle nangokuthi ungakusebenzisa njani ekuKhulekeleni kwakho komNdeni?\n15. IsiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini satlanyelwa ukwenzani?\n15 IsiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini. U-Carey Barber ebekasebenza emzimkhulu weBrooklyn, eNew York, batjho ukhumbula ngelinye ilanga “ngoMvulo ebusuku ngomhla ka-16 Febherbari 1942, ngesikhathi boke abazalwana abamalunga weBethel yeBrooklyn bakhonjelwa bona batlolise kwebekuzokugcina sekwaziwa ngesiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini.” UMzalwana uBarber, owagcina sekalilunga lesiHlopha esiBusako, isikolweso wasihlathulula “njengetuthuko ebabazekako endleleni uJehova asebenzelana ngayo nabantu bakhe banamhlanjesi.” Ifundo yalapho beyiyihle khulu ekusizeni abazalwana bona bathuthuke endleni yabo yokufundisa, sibasize bathuthukise namakghono wabo wokutjhumayela, kangangobana kusukela ngo-1943, kwathoma ukuba nencwadi ethi, Course in Theocratic Ministry emabandleni wephasini loke. IsiThala sakaJuni 1, 1943, sabe sathi isiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini sitlanyelwe ukusiza abantu bakaZimu sibenze bakghone ukufundisa “ilizwi lakaZimu ngokutjhejisisa.”—2 Thim. 2:15.\n16, 17. Inga-kghani isiKolo seKonzo esingoweZulwini gade sifundisa amakghono kwaphela? Hlathulula.\n16 Ekuthomeni banengi ebebanevalo nakufuze babeke ikulumo phami kwesiqubuthu sabantu. UClayton Woodworth, Jr., uyise owabotjhwa anganamlandu banoMzalwana uRutherford nabanye ngo-1918, usayikhumbula indlela azizwa ngayo mhla atlolisa esikolwenesi ngo-1943. UMzalwana uWoodworth uthi: “Bekubudisi khulu kimi ukubeka iinkulumo. Ilimi lami belirarana, umlomami wome begodu uthunye, iphimbo lami lona behlengezela komuntu ozwa amakhaza.” Kodwana njengombana amakghono kaClayton athuthuka, wagcina sekabeka iinkulumo ezinengi khulu. Isikolwesi samfundisa okungaphezu kwamakghono, ngombana samfundisa ukuthi kuqakatheke kangangani ukuthobeka nokuthembela kuJehova. Uthi: “Nganyekele ngalemuka ukuthi isikhulumi sisodwa asikabaluleki, kodawna nasilungiselele kuhle bese sathembela kuJehova, kuba mnandi ukusilalela, begodu nabalaleleko bazokuzuza.”\n17 Ngo-1959, abodade nabo bakhonjelwa bona basingenele isikolwesi. UDade Edna Bauer batjho usakhumbula namhla kwenziwa isazisweso emhlanganweni ekhabe akiwo. Uthi: “Ngikhumbula indlela abanye abodade ekhabe bathabe ngayo ngesazisweso, ngombana nje nathi besesivulekelwe mathuba.” Eminyakeni edlulileko, abafowethu nabodadwethu balisebenzisile ithuba lokungenela isiKolo seKonzo esingokweZulwini bona bafundiswe nguJehova. Nanamhlanjesi sisaragela phambili sifumana ibandulo elinjalo emihlanganweni yaphakathi neveke.—Funda u-Isaya 54:13.\n18, 19. (a) Nje sizifumana njani iinqophiso ezilisizo ezisihlomisela ukwenza umsebenzi wokutjhumayela? (b) Kubayini sivuma iingoma emihlanganweni yethu? (Qala ibhoksi elithi “ Umbhino Weqiniso.”)\n18 UmHlangano weKonzo. Ngo-1919, kwathoma ukubanjwa imihlangano emalungana nomsebenzi wokutjhumayela. Ngesikhatheso, bekungasiwo woke amabandla aba nomhlangano lo, kodwana bewungewalabo abahlanganyela ngokunqophileko ekukhambiseni iincwadi. Kwathi ngomnyaka ka-1923, umHlangano weKonzo, wathoma ukubanjwa kanye ngenyanga, begodu woke amaklasi namkha amabandla athoma ukuba khona. Ngo-1928, amabandla akhuthazwa bona abe nomHlangano weKonzo qobe veke, bese ngo-1935, isiThala sakhuthaza woke amabandla bona umHlangano weKonzo lo kufuze awenze asebenzisa imininingwana egadangiswa ku-Director (kamva eyabizwa ngokuthi yi-Informant bese kwathi ngokukhamba kwesikhathi yabizwa ngePilo Nomsebenzi weboKrestu.) Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi umhlangano lo wathoma ukufakwa ehlelweni laqobe lemihlangano yebandla.\n19 Namhlanjesi sifumana iinqophiso ezilisizo emhlanganweni waphakathi neveke ezisihlomisela ukwenza umsebenzi wokutjhumayela. (Mat. 10:5-13) Nangabe uyayifumana ikhophi yehlelo lomhlangano webandla Wepilo yobuKrestu, uyayifunda na bewulinge nokusebenzisa iimphakamiso zayo njengombana utjhumayela?\nUmhlangano Oqakatheke Khulu Emnyakeni\nNgeekhanthi zabapostoli, amaKrestu bewahlangana ndawonye qobe mnyaka bona azokugidinga isiKhumbuzo sokufa kwakaKrestu (Qala isigaba 20)\n20-22. (a) Kubayini sikhumbula ukufa kwakaJesu? (b) Uzuzani ngokuya esiKhumbuzweni qobe mnyaka?\n20 UJesu watjela abalandeli bakhe bona bahlale balikhulumbula ilanga lokuhlongakala kwakhe, bekube kulapho abuyako. IsiKhumbuzo sokufa kwakaKrestu siyisenzakalo esigidingwa qobe mnyaka, njengombana bekunjalo nangePhasika. (1 Kor. 11:23-26) Umhlangano lo uhlanganisa ingidigidi zabantu qobe mnyaka. Ukhumbuza nalabo abazesiweko ngelungelo labo lokuyokuhlanganyela emBusweni. (Rom. 8:17) Kuthi-ke kwezinye izimvu, uphehle ihlonipho ezikileko nokuthembeka eKosini yomBuso kaZimu.—Jwa. 10:16.\n21 UMzalwana uRussell nabalingani bakhe, balemuka bona kuqakatheke kangangani ukukhumbula isiDlo seKosi saNtambama begodu bebazi nokuthi kufuze sikhunjulwe kanye ngomnyaka. IsiThala saka-Apreli 1880 sathi: “Eminyakeni eembalwa le besekusisiga ngabanengi bethu la ePittsburgh bona . . . sikhumbule iPhasika [okusiKhumbuzo] bese sidle nomfuziselo omzimba neengazi zeKosethu.” Ngemva kwalokho kwabanjwa imihlangano emikhulu emalungana nesiKhumbuzo. Begodu bekuthoma ukuthi kubulungwe amarekhodi anjenga la wesenzakalo sango-1889, nakuzakuba nenani labantu abama-225, kwabhajadiswa abama-22.\n22 Namhlanjesi isiKhumbuzo asisabambi njengomhlangano omkhulu, kodwana siyabamema boke abasemiphakathini yethu bona bazokuhlanganyela nathi eWolweni lomBuso namkha kwenye indawo esiyicatjhileko. Ngo-2013, kwaba nabantu abangaphezu kweengidi ezili-19 ebebazokukhumbula ukufa kwakaJesu. Lokho kulilungelo elihle khulu lokuthi singagcini ngokuza esiKhumbuzweni kwaphela, kodwana sikhuthaze nabanye bona beze bazokuhlanganyela nathi ebusukwini obucwengilekobo! Yeke, umema abanengi ngokwezinga ongakghona ngalo na bona beze esiKhumbuzweni qobe mnyaka?\nOkuvezwa Yindlela Esicabanga Ngayo\n23. Uyiqala njani seyiyoke imihlangano yethu?\n23 Iinceku zakaJehova ezithembekileko azisiqali njengomthwalo isinqophiswesi sokuthi sihlangane ndawonye. (Heb. 10:24, 25; 1 Jwa. 5:3) Isibonelo salokho yiKosi uDavida, owakuthanda ukuya ekumbeni kaJehova yokumkhulekela. (Rhu. 27:4) Ebekumenza akuthande khulu ukuya lapho, ngilabo ahlanganyela nabo egade bamthanda uZimu. (Rhu. 35:18) Bese ucabanga ngesibonelo sakaJesu. Ikumba kaYise yokukhulekela, yindawo ebekalulukela ukuhlala akiyo.—Luk. 2:41-49.\nUkuzika kwesifiso sethu sokuhlangana ndawonye, kuveza indlela umBuso kaZimu ongewamambala ngayo kithi\n24.

Imihlangano Yokuqala Eyenziwa NgoFakazi bakaJehova eMexico City\nKWAKUYINYANGA ka-November ngo-1932 njalo kwasekwedlule iviki kufakwe amarobhothi emigwaqweni eminengi esigodlweni seMexico esasihlala abantu abedlula 1 miliyoni. Lanxa indaba yokufakwa kwamarobhothi yayisegudwini, izinto zasezintshintshile. Ngaleyoviki intathelizindaba zazibhodabhoda esititshini sesitimela zithwele amakhamera zilindele ukufika kwesivakatshi esiqakathekileyo. Lesosivakatshi kwakunguJoseph F. Rutherford owayengumongameli weWatch Tower Society ngalesosikhathi. OFakazi beMexico labo babekhona bezomhlangabeza umzalwane lo owayelande umhlangano wensuku ezintathu owawuzakwenzelwa esigodlweni selizwe lelo.\nI-Golden Age yabika ukuthi umhlangano lo wawuzahlala ukhunjulwa kakhulu ngoba wenza ukuthi izindaba ezinhle zimemetheke eMexico. Kodwa kuyini okwenza umhlangano owangenwa ngabantu abangu-150 kuphela wamangalisa?\nUngakenziwa umhlangano lo yayincane intuthuko emsebenzini wokutshumayela elizweni leli. Kusukela ngo-1919 yayisiba khona sibili imihlangano eMexico. Loba kunjalo inani lamabandla lalilokhu lisehla eminyakeni eyalandelayo. Ukuvulwa kwegatsha ngo-1929 kwakungani kuzantshintsha izinto kodwa akuzange kube njalo. Ngokwesibonelo ngemva kokukhutshwa kwesiqondiso sokuthi amaphayona angenzi ibhizimusi ngapha etshumayela, omunye umzalwane owayeliphayona watshiya inhlanganiso wasebumba elakhe iqembu. Kanti njalo umzalwane owayekhokhela egatsheni wayesesenza izinto ezingavumelani leMibhalo ngakho wasuswa kwafakwa omunye. Abazalwane beMexico babekudinga sibili ukukhuthazwa.\nUmfowethu uRutherford wenza izinkulumo ezimbili ezivusa usinga kulowomhlangano futhi ezinye ezinhlanu wazenza emsakazweni. Lokhu kwabavuselela abazalwane beMexico. Kwakungokokuqala ukuthi izindaba ezinhle zifikiswe ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo ngomsakazo elizweni leli. Ngemva komhlangano lo, umzalwane owayesekhokhela egatsheni leMexico wavuselela umsebenzi wokutshumayela. Lokhu kwenza abazalwane baba ledlabuzane lokuqhubekela phambili ngomsebenzi futhi uJehova wababusisa.\nUmhlangano owenziwa ngo-1941 esigodlweni seMexico\nNgomnyaka olandelayo kwaba lemihlangano emibili elizweni leMexico, omunye wenzelwa edolobheni leVeracruz ikanti omunye wenzelwa esigodlweni. Ukukhuthala kwabazalwane ekutshumayeleni kwaqala ukuba lempumela emihle. Ngo-1931 kwakulabamemezeli abangu-82 kuphela kodwa eminyakeni elitshumi eyalandelayo inani labamemezeli laqansa okumangalisayo. Ngo-1941 kwaba labantu abedlula 1 000 emhlanganweni omkhulu owawusesigodlweni seMexico.\n“BAGCWELE IMIGWAQO YONKE”\nNgo-1943 oFakazi baqalisa umkhankaso wokunxusela abantu emhlanganweni owawulesihloko esithi, “Isizwe Esikhululekileyo.” Umhlangano lo wenzelwa emadolobheni angu-12 eMexico. * Abafowethu labodadewethu babehamba begaxe amabhakani amabili elinye phambili elinye emuva futhi indlela le yokutshumayela yayisetshenziswa ngoFakazi kusukela ngo-1936.\nImagazini eyaphuma ngo-1944 ikhuluma ngomkhankaso owawusenziwa esigodlweni seMexico\nElinye iphephandaba leMexico okuthiwa yi-La Nación lakhuluma ngomkhankaso owawusenziwa ngabafowethu lathi: “Ngelanga lokuqala [lomhlangano, oFakazi] bakhuthazwa ukuthi banxuse abantu abanengi futhi ngelanga lesibili abantu babengaseneli enkundleni yomhlangano.” Umkhankaso lo awuzange ubaphathe kuhle abafundisi besonto yeRoma, ngakho baqalisa ukuhlasela oFakazi. Kodwa abaphumelelanga ngoba abafowethu labodadewethu baqhubeka bebhoda ezitaladini benxusa abantu. Iphephandaba leli laphinda lathi: “Bebegcwele yonke indawo edolobheni . . . amadoda labesifazane begaxe amabhakani.” Kwaze kwaphuma lomfanekiso owawutshengisa abazalwane behamba emigwaqweni yedolobho ngaphansi kwawo kwakulamazwi athi: “Bagcwele Imigwaqo Yonke.”\nKUNGCONO KULOKULALA PHANSI\nNgalesosikhathi kwakunzima kakhulu kuboFakazi abanengi eMexico ukuthi bangene imihlangano. Abanye babesuka emaphandleni lapho okwakungelazimota khona loba izitimela. Ngakho babegada izimbongolo loba bakhasabule ngenyawo baze bayefika esititshini sesitimela esasizabafikisa lapho okwakungenelwa khona umhlangano.\nKwezinye izikhathi abafowethu labodadewethu abanengi babeyiswela imali yokuya emhlanganweni ngoba babezidubekela nje. Abanye babefika bahlale ezindlini zabazalwane ikanti abanye babelala emaWolu oMbuso. Ngomunye umnyaka abazalwane abangaba ngu-90 bafikela egatsheni ngesikhathi bezongena umhlangano futhi babelala phezu kwamabhokisi amabhuku ababewelekanisile. Umbiko owaphuma ebhukwini lomnyaka wachaza ukuthi abazalwane labo bathi ukulala phezu kwamabhokisi kwakungcono kulokulala phansi.\nLanxa kwakulobunzima bonke lobu, oFakazi beMexico babekuthakazelela kakhulu ukuba semihlanganweni le. Lamuhla oFakazi sebephose bafike 1 miliyoni elizweni leli futhi balokhu bekuqakathekisa ukungena imihlangano. * Ibhuku lomnyaka lika-1949 labika ukuthi lanxa abazalwane beMexico behlangana lobunzima, bakhuthele kakhulu ekukhonzeni uJehova. Sonke isikhathi nxa bangaba lomhlangano basala bexoxa ngawo okwesikhathi eside futhi bajayele ukubuza ukuthi, “Sizakuba lawo nini omunye umhlangano?”—Ezembali yethu ezivela eCentral America.\n^ indima 9 Ibhuku lomnyaka lika-1944 labika ukuthi umhlangano owenziwa ngo-1943 “wenza oFakazi baziwa eMexico.”\n^ indima 14 Ngo-2016 kwaba labantu abangu-2 262 646 eSikhumbuzweni elizweni leMexico.


UJesu Ukhangela Umfelokazi Ophosela lmali Encane (UMakho 12) | Impilo KaJesu\nIlanga Lokucina Esethempelini\nUMATHEWU 23:25–24:2 UMAKHO 12:41–13:2 ULUKHA 21:1-6\nUJESU UPHINDA ABASOLE ABAKHOKHELI BENKOLO\nUMFELOKAZI ONGUMYANGA UNIKELA NGOKUZINHLAMVU KWEMALI OKUBILI\nNgelanga lokucina uJesu esethempelini, uqhubeka echaya egcekeni ubuzenzisi bababhali labaFarisi, ekhuluma phambi kwabantu ukuthi bangabazenzisi. Usebenzisa umzekeliso athi: “Linjengenkomitsho lomganu okugeziswe ngaphandle kodwa ngaphakathi kungcolile. Ngaphakathi ligcwele ubuhwaba lokubuswa zinkanuko! MFarisi oyisiphofu, qala ugezise ingaphakathi yenkomitsho leyomganu ukuze lengaphandle ihlanzeke.” (UMathewu 23:25, 26) AbaFarisi bakuqakathekisa kakhulu ukuhlanzeka ngokomthetho kanye lendlela ababukeka ngayo ngaphandle, kodwa kabalandaba lalokho abayikho khona ngaphakathi futhi bayehluleka ukuhlambulula izinhliziyo zabo.\nImisebenzi yabo yokwakha amathuna abaphrofethi lokuwacecisa layo itshengisa ubuzenzisi babo. UJesu uthi ‘bangamadodana alabo ababulala abaphrofethi.’ (UMathewu 23:31) Lokhu bakuvezile ngoba bafuna ukumbulala.—UJohane 5:18; 7:1, 25.\nUJesu ukhuluma ngalokho okuzakwenzakala kubakhokheli benkolo laba nxa bengaphenduki, uthi: “Zinyoka, nzalo yamabululu! Lizakubalekela njani ukwahlulelwa lokuphoselwa eGehena?” (UMathewu 23:33) IGehena itsho “iSihotsha SikaHinomi.” Izibi zitshiselwa esihotsheni leso esiseduze khonapho, yikho amazwi kaJesu atshengisa ukuthi ababhali labaFarisi abenza okubi bazabhujiswa phakade.\nAbafundi bakaJesu bazakuba ‘ngabaphrofethi lamadoda ahlakaniphileyo kanye labantu abazafundisa.’ Bazaphathwa njani? UJesu ukhuluma labakhokheli benkolo esithi: ‘Abanye [abafundi bami] lizababulala libalengise ezigodweni, abanye libabhaxabule emasinagogeni enu futhi libazingele idolobho ngedolobho libahlukuluza, ukuze igazi labo bonke abalungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni libe phezu kwenu, kusukela egazini lika-Abela owayelungile kusiya egazini likaZekhariya elambulalayo.’ Uyabaxwayisa athi: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, isizukulwane lesi sizakwehlelwa yizinto zonke lezi.” (UMathewu 23:34-36) Lokhu kuyenzakala ngo-70 C.E. ngesikhathi amabutho eRoma ebhubhisa iJerusalema, lezinkulungwane zamaJuda zisifa.\nUJesu uyakhathazeka kakhulu nxa ecabanga ngokuzakwehlela iJerusalema. Ukhuluma edanile athi: “Jerusalema, Jerusalema, mbulali wabaphrofethi. Wena okhanda ngamatshe labo abathunywe kuwe. Kunini ngifuna ukubuthela abantwabakho ndawonye sasikhukhukazi esibuthela ndawonye amatsiyane aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso! Kodwa lina belingafuni. Khangelani manje! Indlu yenu isideliwe yatshiyelwa lina.” (UMathewu 23:37, 38) Kumele ukuthi abalalele uJesu bayazibuza ukuthi utshoni nxa ekhuluma ‘ngendlu.’ Kambe engabe ekhuluma ngethempeli leli eliyibukhazikhazi eliseJerusalema futhi elikhanya angani livikelwe nguNkulunkulu?\nUJesu uqhubeka esithi: “Ngilitshela ukuthi kalisoze lingibone futhi, kusukela khathesi kuze kube yilapho lisithi, ‘Ubusisiwe lowo oza ngebizo likaJehova!’” (UMathewu 23:39) Ukhuluma amazwi asesiphrofethweni esikuHubo 118:26 athi: “Ubusisiwe lowo ozayo ngegama likaJehova. Siyakubusisa sisendlini kaJehova.” Kusegcekeni ukuthi nxa ithempeli leli selidiliziwe kuyabe kungaselamuntu ozakhonzela kulo.\nKhathesi uJesu uyasuka aye kwenye indawo esethempelini elamabhokisi eminikelo. Abantu bangafaka iminikelo yabo ezikhaleni ezincane ezikuwo. Ubona amaJuda amanengi enikela njalo abanothileyo ‘bephosela imali enengi.’ Ngemva kwalokho ubona umfelokazi ongumyanga ephosela “okuzinhlamvu kwemali okubili okungatsho lutho.” (UMakho 12:41, 42) Akuthandabuzwa ukuthi uJesu uyakwazi ukuthi umnikelo womfelokazi lo uyamthokozisa uNkulunkulu.\nUJesu ubiza abafundi bakhe abesesithi kubo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, umfelokazi lo ongumyanga unikele okwedlula bonke abanye abafake imali emabhokisini eminikelo.” Kungani esitsho njalo? Uyachasisa athi: “Bonke bacuphe enothweni yabo, kodwa yena lanxa eswela, ufake konke abelakho, konke obekumele aphile ngakho.” (UMakho 12:43, 44) Okwenziwa ngumfelokazi lo kutshiyene kakhulu lokwenziwa ngabakhokheli benkolo.\nUJesu uyasuka ethempelini njalo kasoze aphenduke kulo futhi. Kulokhu kunguNisani 11 njalo omunye wabafundi bakhe ubabaza esithi: “Mfundisi, khangela ukuthi amatshe la lezakhiwo lezi kuhle njani!” (UMakho 13:1) Amanye amatshe asethempelini makhulu sibili njalo enza kukhanye angathi ithempeli lelo liqine okokuthi ngeke lidilike. Yikho kuyamangalisa ukuthi uJesu uthi: “Uyazibona yini izakhiwo lezi ezinkulu? Amatshe la azadilizelwa phansi loba sekutheni, kakusoze kusale ngitsho lelilodwa phezu kwelinye.”—UMakho 13:2.\nEsetsho njalo, uJesu labaphostoli bakhe bachapha iSigodi SaseKhidroni besebeqansa besiya kwenye indawo eNtabeni Yama-Oliva. Uthi esele labaphostoli bakhe abane, uPhetro, lo-Andreya, loJakhobe, loJohane balibone kuhle ithempeli leli elimangalisayo belapho abakhona.\nUJesu wenzani ngelanga lokucina esethempelini?\nUJesu uthi kuzakwenzakalani ngethempeli?\nKungani uJesu esithi umfelokazi unikele ukwedlula abanothileyo?
