Tfola Tibusiso NgeNkhosi Lecondziswa Ngumoya WaNkulunkulu!
‘Umoya waJehova uyawubasetikwakhe.’—ISA. 11:2.
1. Labanye baye baveta kuphi kukhatsateka mayelana netinkinga temhlaba?
NGA-2006, Stephen Hawking, losati sekwakheka kwemaplanethi kanye netinkhanyenti wabuta nangumbuto: “Kulelive lelisesiphitsiphitsini setembusave, setenhlalo, kanye nalelinetinkinga temvelo, bantfu bangakhona njani kuphila leminye iminyaka lengu-100?” Sihloko lesitsite ephephandzabeni i-New Statesman satsi: “Asikabucedzi buphuya nobe saletsa kuthula kwemhlaba. Kodvwa kubonakala shengatsi sente lokwehluke kakhulu kuloko. Akusho kutsi besihleti singenti lutfo. Setame konkhe lokusemandleni etfu, kusukela ekubuseni kwebukhomanisi kuya esimeni semnotfo lesikhululekile; kusukela ekwakheni iNhlangano Yetive kuya ekucongeleleni tikhali tenukliya kute sivimbele imphi. Silwe ‘timphi letinyenti tekucedza imphi’ ngobe sicabanga kutsi singakwati kuyicedza.”
2. Madvutane, Jehova utawubusebentisa njani bukhosi bakhe emhlabeni wonkhe?
2 Emavi lanjena awatimangalisi tikhonti taJehova. LiBhayibheli liyasitjela kutsi bantfu bebangakadalelwa kutsi batibuse. (Jer. 10:23) NguJehova kuphela longuMbusi wetfu lofanele. Ngesizatfu saloko, unelilungelo lekusibekela timiso, kusitjela kutsi nguyiphi injongo lokufanele sibe nayo ekuphileni, kanye nekusicondzisa kute siyifeze. Ngetulu kwaloko, madvutane utawusebentisa ligunya lakhe kute acedze imetamo yebantfu yekutibusa leyehlulekile. Utawuphindze abhubhise bonkhe bantfu labangafuni kwemukela bukhosi bakhe, bese bakhetsa kugcina bantfu bagcilatekile esonweni, kanye ‘nakunkulunkulu walomhlaba,’ longuSathane Develi.—2 Khor. 4:4.
3. Yini Isaya layibiketela mayelana naMesiya?
3 Emhlabeni lomusha loliPharadisi, bukhosi baJehova belutsandvo butawuvetwa kubantfu ngeMbuso waMesiya. (Dan. 7:13, 14) Mayelana neNkhosi yawo, Isaya waphrofetha: ‘Kuyawuhluma lihlumela esiphuntini sakaJese; Ligala lelimila etimphandzeni takhe liyawutsela titselo. Umoya waJehova uyawubasetikwakhe, umoya wekuhlakanipha newekucondza, umoya wekweluleka newemandla, umoya welwati newekwesaba Jehova.’ (Isa. 11:1, 2) Nkulunkulu uwusebentise ngatiphi tindlela umoya wakhe longcwele kute ente Jesu Khristu—‘lolihlumela esiphuntini sakaJese’—afanelekele kubusa bantfu? Ngutiphi tibusiso letitawuletfwa kubusa kwakhe? Yini lokufanele siyente kute sititfole leto tibusiso?
Nkulunkulu Wenta Kutsi Jesu Afanelekele Kubusa
4-6. Nguluphi lwati lolubalulekile lolutawusita Jesu kutsi abe yiNkhosi, umPhristi Lomkhulu, kanye neMehluleli lohlakaniphile naloneluvelo?
4 Jehova ufuna kutsi bantfu labatikhonti takhe babuyele ekubeni bete sono ngephansi kwesicondziso saloyo loyiNkhosi, umPhristi Lomkhulu, kanye neMehluleli lohlakaniphile naloneluvelo. Kungako Nkulunkulu akhetsa Jesu Khristu, futsi wamsita ngemoya wakhe longcwele kutsi ayifanelekele yonkhe lemitfwalo lebaluleke kakhulu. Asewucabange ngaletinye tizatfu letitawukwenta kutsi Jesu ayifeze ngalokuphelele imitfwalo layiniketwe nguNkulunkulu.
5 Jesu umati kahle Nkulunkulu. LeNdvodzana letelwe yodvwa ngiyo lemati sikhatsi lesidze kakhulu Babe kwendlula labanye bantfu, cishe sikhatsi lesingaba tigidzigidzi teminyaka. Kuleyo minyaka, Jesu watfola lwati loluphelele ngaJehova kangangekutsi bekungatsiwa ‘ungumfanekiso waNkulunkulu longabonwa ngemehlo enyama.’ (Khol. 1:15) Jesu watikhulumela matfupha watsi: “Lowo losabone mine, umbonile naBabe.”—Joh. 14:9.
6 Jesu ulandzela Jehova ngekuba nelwati loluphelele ngayo yonkhe indalo, lefaka ekhatsi nebantfu. UmBhalo waKholose 1:16, 17 utsi: “Kwadalelwa kuyo [iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu], lokusezulwini nalokusemhlabeni, lokubonakalako nalokungabonakali . . . Yona ikhonanchanti kwako konkhe, tonkhe tintfo time ngayo.” Asewucabange nje ngako konkhe loku! “Njengengcweti yekwakha” yaNkulunkulu, Jesu waba nencenye kuto tonkhe tici tekudalwa kwetintfo. Ngako-ke, uyicondza kahle yonkhe imininingwane lemayelana nendzawo yonkhe, kuhlanganise nebuchopho bemuntfu lobumangalisako. Kuyacaca-ke kutsi Khristu ukuhlakanipha lokwentiwe samuntfu.—Taga 8:12, 22, 30, 31.
7, 8. Nkulunkulu wawusebentisa njani umoya wakhe kute usite Jesu emsebentini wekushumayela?
7 Jesu wagcotjwa ngemoya longcwele waNkulunkulu. Jesu watsi: ‘Umoya weNkhosi ukimi, ngobe ungigcobile kutsi ngishumayele tindzaba letimnandzi etimphuyeni; ungitfumele kutsi ngimemetele inkhululeko kulabatfunjiwe, nekuvula emehlo etimphumphutseni, nekukhulula labacindzetelekile, ngimemetele umnyaka iNkhosi letakukhombisa umusa wayo ngawo.’ (Luk. 4:18, 19) Ngalesikhatsi Jesu abhajatiswa, kubonakala shengatsi umoya longcwele wamenta wabona tintfo labetifundzile ngesikhatsi asengaketi emhlabeni, kuhlanganise naloko Nkulunkulu labefuna kutsi akufeze emsebentini wakhe wasemhlabeni njengaMesiya.—Fundza Isaya 42:1; Lukha 3:21, 22; Johane 12:50.
8 Ngesizatfu sekutsi Jesu abeniketwe umoya longcwele futsi anemtimba kanye nengcondvo lete sono, abengagcini nje ngekuba ngumuntfu lomkhulu kunabo bonkhe labake baphila emhlabeni, kodvwa abephindze abe nguMfundzisi lomkhulu. Tilaleli takhe ‘tamangala ngetimfundziso takhe.’ (Mat. 7:28) Jesu abekwati nekuchaza imbangela yetinkinga tebantfu—lokusono kanye nekubabete lwati ngaNkulunkulu. Abephindze akwati nekubona loko bantfu bebangiko mbamba etinhlitiyweni tabo futsi abebaphatsa ngendlela lefanele.—Mat. 9:4; Joh. 1:47.
9. Kwetsembela kwakho kuJesu njengeMbusi, kukhula njani nawuhlola lokuhlangenwe nako lakutfola ngesikhatsi alapha emhlabeni?
9 Jesu waphila njengemuntfu. Lokuhlangenwe nako kwakhe lakutfola ngesikhatsi angumuntfu kanye nekuba nebuhlobo lobusedvute nebantfu labanesono, kwamenta wakufanelekela kakhulu kuba yiNkhosi. Umphostoli Pawula wabhala: “Kwakudzingekile kutsi [Jesu] afanane nabomnakabo ngako konkhe, kuze atewuba ngumPhristi Lomkhulu lonesihawu nalowetsembekile emsebentini waNkulunkulu, kube yinhlawulo yetono tebantfu. Njengobe naye matfupha wahlupheka alingwa, unawo emandla ekubasita labo labalingwako.” (Heb. 2:17, 18) Ngesizatfu sekutsi Jesu ‘walingwa,’ angakwati kuvelana nalabo labashushiswako. Luvelo lwakhe lwabonakala ngesikhatsi alapha emhlabeni. Bantfu labagulako, labakhubatekile, labacindzetelekile, ngisho nebantfwana imbala—abazange besabe kuya kuye. (Mak. 5:22-24, 38-42; 10:14-16) Labamnene kanye nalabo labebafuna kufundza ngaNkulunkulu nabo basondzela kuye. Ngakulokunye, labo labebatigabatisa futsi batigcabha, kanye nalabo ‘lebebete lutsandvo ngaNkulunkulu,’ abazange bamemukele kodvwa bamtondza futsi bamphikisa.—Joh. 5:40-42; 11:47-53.
10. Jesu waluveta ngayiphi indlela lenkhulu lutsandvo lanalo ngatsi?
10 Jesu wanikela ngekuphila kwakhe kute kuzuze tsine. Lesinye sizatfu lesitendlula tonkhe sekutsi Jesu abe nguMbusi loncono, sifiso labenaso sekusifela. (Fundza Tihlabelelo 40:6-10.) Khristu watsi: “Kute umuntfu lonelutsandvo lolukhulu kunalolu kwekutsi adzele kuphila kwakhe ngenca yetihlobo takhe.” (Joh. 15:13) Ngekungafanani nebaholi labanesono labavame kuphila ntofontofo ngesizatfu semali labayitsatsa kubantfu labababusako, Jesu yena wanikela ngekuphila kwakhe kute kuzuze bantfu.—Mat. 20:28.
Jesu Unemandla Ekusiniketa Tinzuzo Tesihlengo
11. Kungani singametsemba ngalokuphelele Jesu longuMhlengi wetfu?
11 Kuyafaneleka kutsi Jesu, longumPhristi Lomkhulu kube nguye loholako ekusiniketeni tinzuzo temhlatjelo wakhe wesihlengo! Ecinisweni, ngesikhatsi alapha emhlabeni, wasikhombisa sibonelo saloko lebekatawukwenta njengeMhlengi eMinyakeni leyiNkhulungwane yekuBusa kwakhe, lokutintfo lesitawutitfola nasihlala setsembekile. Welapha labagulako nalabakhubatekile, wavusa labafile, wapha tinkhulungwane tebantfu kudla, waphindze wacondzisa emandla emvelo. (Mat. 8:26; 14:14-21; Luk. 7:14, 15) Ngetulu kwaloko, letintfo akatentanga ngobe afuna kutsi kucashelwe ligunya kanye nemandla akhe, kodvwa watenta kute avete luvelo kanye nelutsandvo labenalo. Endvodzeni lebeyinebulephelo lebeyicela kutsi ayelaphe, watsi: “Ngiyatsandza.” (Mak. 1:40, 41) Jesu utawuba neluvelo lolufananako nangesikhatsi sekuBusa kwakhe kweMinyaka leyiNkhulungwane—kodvwa ngaleso sikhatsi letintfo utawutenta emhlabeni wonkhe.
12. Incwadzi ya-Isaya 11:9 itawugcwaliseka njani?
12 Khristu kanye nalabo latawube abusa nabo batawuchubeka neluhlelo lwekufundzisa bantfu ngaNkulunkulu, lokuluhlelo lalucala eminyakeni lengaba ngu-2 000 leyengcile. Ngaleyo ndlela, emavi laku-Isaya 11:9 atawugcwaliseka: “Umhlaba uyawugcwala kwati Simakadze, njengobe nemanti agcwalisa lwandle.” Asingabati kutsi lemfundvo lemayelana naNkulunkulu itawuhlanganisa nesicondziso sendlela yekunakekela umhlaba kanye netidalwa letinyenti letikuwo, lokuyintfo Adamu labeyalwe kutsi ayente ekucaleni. Ngemuva kweminyaka lengu-1 000, injongo yaNkulunkulu yasekucaleni lebhalwe kuGenesisi 1:28 itawube seyigcwalisekile, futsi umhlatjelo wesihlengo utawube sewusetjentiswe ngalokugcwele.
Jesu Unemandla Ekwehlulela
13. Jesu wakuveta njani kutsi abekutsandza kulunga?
13 Khristu, “nguye lokhetfwe nguNkulunkulu kutsi abe ngumehluleli walabaphilako nalabafile.” (Imis. 10:42) Kuyasidvudvuta kwati kutsi Jesu ute kungetsembeki, kanye nekutsi kulunga nekwetsembeka kwakhe kufanana nelibhande lelukhalo lwakhe! (Isa. 11:5) Wakufakazela kutsi abekutondza kuba bukhali, kutentisa, kanye nalobunye bubi, futsi abebalahla labo labebangabanaki bantfu labahluphekako. (Mat. 23:1-8, 25-28; Mak. 3:5) Ngetulu kwaloko, Jesu waveta kutsi abengeke ayengwe kubukeka kwangaphandle, “ngobe yena bekati lingekhatsi lemuntfu.”—Joh. 2:25.
14. Kulesikhatsi lesiphila kuso, Jesu uchubeka njani aveta kutsi uyakutsandza kulunga, futsi yini lokufanele sitibute yona?
14 Jesu uyachubeka aveta kutsi uyakutsandza kulunga, ngekutsi acondzise umsebenti lomkhulu wekushumayela newekufundzisa, loyendlula yonkhe leyake yaba khona emlandvweni webantfu. Kute umuntfu, hulumende webantfu, nobe umoya lomubi longakhona kumisa lomsebenti kutsi wentiwe ngelizinga Nkulunkulu latawenetiseka ngalo. Ngako-ke, singaciniseka ngekutsi naseyendlulile i-Amagedoni, kulunga kwaNkulunkulu kutawugcwala emhlabeni wonkhe (Fundza Isaya 11:4; Matewu 16:27.) Tibute: ‘Nginembono lofanana newaJesu yini ngebantfu labasensimini yakitsi? Ngimniketa konkhe lokusemandleni ami yini Jehova, ngisho nobe imphilo kanye netimo tami tingase tinciphise loko lengingakhona kukwenta?’
15. Yini lokufanele siyikhumbule lengasisita kutsi sinike Nkulunkulu lokuncono kakhulu?
15 Singalutfola lusito lwekukhonta Nkulunkulu ngemphefumulo wonkhe nangabe sihlala sikhumbula kutsi umsebenti wekushumayela wakhe. Nguye losiyale kutsi siwente; uyawucondzisa asebentisa iNdvodzana yakhe, futsi ubapha umoya longcwele labo lababa nencenye kuwo. Wena, uyawujabulela yini lomsebenti wekukhonta njengesisebenti saNkulunkulu lesisebenta kanye neNdvodzana yakhe lecondziswa ngumoya? Kute lomunye umuntfu ngaphandle kwaJehova longenta bantfu labangetulu kwetigidzi letisikhombisa lababitwa ngekutsi ‘bantfukatana nje labangakafundzi,’ kutsi batjele bantfu labasemaveni langu-236 umlayeto weMbuso.—Imis. 4:13.
Tibusise NgaKhristu!
16. Yini leshiwo nguGenesisi 22:18 mayelana netibusiso taNkulunkulu?
16 Jehova watjela Abrahama: “Tive tonkhe temhlaba tiyawubusiswa ngetitukulwane takho, ngobe ulalele livi lami.” (Gen. 22:18) Lamavi asho kutsi labo labajabulela kukhonta Nkulunkulu kanye neNdvodzana yakhe, bangabuka embili ngekuciniseka etibusisweni letitawuletfwa yiNtalo lenguMesiya. Nalamuhla basebenta ngenkhutsalo bacabanga ngaletibusiso.
17, 18. Ngusiphi setsembiso saJehova lesifundza ngaso kuDutheronomi 28:2, futsi sisho kutsini kitsi?
17 Naku Nkulunkulu lakusho entalweni ya-Abrahama, lokusive sema-Israyeli: “Tonkhe letibusiso [letibhalwe esivumelwaneni seMtsetfo] tiyakwehlela etikwenu tinilandzele, nanilalela Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu.” (Dut. 28:2) Loku kuyenteka nasetincekwini taNkulunkulu lamuhla. Nangabe ufuna kubusiswa nguJehova, chubeka ‘ulalela’ livi lakhe. Nawenta njalo, tibusiso takhe ‘tiyawukwehlela etikwakho tikulandzele.’ Kodvwa-ke, ‘kulalela’ kufaka ekhatsi ini?
18 Kulalela kufaka ekhatsi kucabangisisa ngaloko lokuseVini laNkulunkulu kanye nekudla kwakamoya lasiniketa kona. (Mat. 24:45) Kuphindze kusho kulalela Nkulunkulu kanye neNdvodzana yakhe. Jesu watsi: “Akusibo bonkhe labatsi kimi: ‘Nkhosi, Nkhosi,’ labayawungena embusweni welizulu, kodvwa ngulabo labenta intsandvo yaBabe losezulwini.” (Mat. 7:21) Kulalela Nkulunkulu kusho kutitfoba ngekutitsandzela ebandleni lebuKhristu lalisungulile, lelinalabadzala labakhetsiwe ‘labatipho letibantfu.’—Ef. 4:8.
19. Singasitfola njani sibusiso?
19 ‘Kuletipho letibantfu’ kuneSigungu Lesibusako, lesinakekela tidzingo telibandla lebuKhristu. (Imis. 15:2, 6) Ecinisweni, indlela lesibaphatsa ngayo labomnakaboKhristu bakamoya, ngiyo letawuveta kutsi sitawukwehlulelwa njani ngesikhatsi sekuhlupheka lokukhulu. (Mat. 25:34-40) Lenye indlela lesingatfola ngayo sibusiso kutsi sibasekele ngebucotfo labo labagcotjwe nguNkulunkulu.
20. (a) Ngumuphi umsebenti loyinhloko lowentiwa ‘tipho letibantfu’? (b) Singaveta njani kutsi siyabajabulela labazalwane?
20 ‘Tipho letibantfu’ tiphindze tifake ekhatsi emaKomidi Eligatja, babonisi labajikeletako, kanye nalabadzala belibandla—bonkhe laba babekwe ngemoya longcwele. (Imis. 20:28) Umsebenti walabazalwane loyinhloko, kutsi bakhe bantfu baNkulunkulu ‘baze bafinyelele ebunyeni bekukholwa, nasekuyatini iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, ebudvodzeni lobuphelele kuKhristu.’ (Ef. 4:13) Njengatsi, nabo banesono. Nanobe kunjalo, siyatibusisa nangabe sikujabulela futsi sikulalela kwelusa kwabo kwelutsandvo.—Heb. 13:7, 17.
21. Kungani kuphutfuma kutsi silalele iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu?
21 Ngekushesha, Khristu utawulibhubhisa lelive laSathane lelibi. Nasekwentekile loko, kuphila kwetfu kutawuba setandleni taJesu, ngobe Nkulunkulu umnike ligunya lekucondzisa “sicumbi lesikhulu” lekwabiketelwa ngaso, futsi asiyise “emitfonjeni yemanti ekuphila.” (Semb. 7:9, 16, 17) Ngako-ke, asenteni konkhe lokusemandleni etfu kutsi sititfobe ngekutitsandzela futsi sijabulele iNkhosi lebekwe nguJehova lecondziswa ngumoya.
