Ukwabelana ngoJesu

Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu ezeemhlabeni, abantubakaNkulunkulu babeyisizweesisodwa kuphela, abantubakwaIsrayeli.

UJesu wenza isimo esisha sabantubakaNkulunkulu, iBandla. IBandlalalibuthana ngamaqembuamancane emakhaya kuqala.

IBandla liyisikole esiphakeme salabo abashabalala ngokweswela ulwazinobumnyama bomphefumulo, esibizelwe kusona sonke ukuba singene impiloyethu yonke-futhi-sihlale, sifunde kuJesu waseNazaretha, uthisha omkhulu.

“Kepha umSamariya othile owayesendleleni wafika kuye; wathi ukuba ambone, wamhawukela.” (Luka 10:33)

Yini engasenza “sibe nesihe” kwabanye?

UJesu ubona izidingo zabantuabasizungezile, ngakho usikhuthaza ukubasibasize.

IBandla libusiswe ngamaqiniso amakhuluasenza sizwisise kancono izithembiso kanyenentando kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa ke, ukwazilawo maqiniso kuphela akwenele ukubasiphathe abanye ngobumnenenangokungabagxeki.

Ukubona njengoJesu kubandakanyaukugxilisa amehlo ethu esiphambanweniendaweni yokuzibheka thina. Ukubhekaokunjalo kuyosisiza ukuba siboneukubaluleka okubonwa nguNkulunkulukuloyo naloyo muntu (kwabaseFilipi 2:3-4).

“Kanjalo makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu ukuba baboneimisebenzi yenu emihle, badumise uYihlo osezulwini.” (Mathewu 5:16)

UJesu wasikhuthaza ukuba sikhazimulenjengomuzi owakhiwe entabeni ebusuku.

Siphila ezweni elisithwe yisono, elingenasimilo, nelisebumnyameni ngokomoya. Umsebenziwebandla wukuletha ukukhanya kanyenethemba kuwona wonke amagumbi omhlaba.

Amalunga omzimba kaKristu kufanele abe njaniukuze abonise ukulunga kukaNkulunkulunjengokukhanya kwangempela (bukakuMathewu 5:3-12)?

Umsebenzi kaJesu–obhalwe kuLuka 4:18-19–wawubandakanyaukunakekela abaphuyile, ukusiza abanezinhliziyo ezaphukile, ukwelapha abagulayo, kanye nokukhulula abathunjiweyoesonweni.

Sibizelwe ukuba silandele isibonelo sakhe kanye nokubasithandane. Futhi sibizelwe ukuba siphile ngalolo thando, sinakekele abanye futhi sanelise izidingo zabo zenyama kanyenezikamoya ngendlela esingakhona ngayo.

SingabafundibakaThisha, ngakhokufanele sihlalesibonisa wona lowomusa ayewubonisa, ehlala njaloesebenzela usindisolwabo.

UKUFUNA IQINISO ELINGUJESU“Ngihambise eqinisweni lakho, ungifundise, ngokuba wena unguNkulunkuluwensindiso yami; ngilindela wena usuku lonke.” (AmaHubo 25:5)

UNkulunkulu usidale sinomoya wokufunaulwazi, kanye nokulangazelela ukwazi kanconookungenakweneliswa. “Iso alisuthi ngokubona, nendlebe ayigcwali ngokuzwa.” (Umshumayeli1:8; 3:11)

Sifuna izimpendulo zemibuzo enzulu kakhulu: Singobani? Yingani sikhona? Kufanele siphile kanjani? Kwenzekani uma sifa? Kungani kunobubi kanyenokuhlupheka?

Awukho umthombo wolwazi ongaphendulalemibuzo ukwendlula Lowo oyiqiniso eliphelele. “UJesu wathi kuye, ‘Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandlekwami.’” (Johane 14:6).

Imfundo yobuKristu ibandakanya ukuholelaabantu eqinisweni ngokufuna izimpenduloeBhayibhelini, eliyincwadi ephethe iqiniso uJesuabelana ngalo.

“Ngokuba lapho kubuthene ababili noma abathathu egamenilami, ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabo.” (Mathewu 18:20)

AmaKristu okuqala ayebuthana emakhaya ngamaqembuamancane.

Onke noma amanye alawo maqembu edolobheni thizeayebuthana njalo ukwenza imibuthano (isibonelo, ukuzolalelaukushumayela kukaPawule [Izenzo 20:7]).

AmaKristu ayekade abelana ngenkolo yawo, ekhula ndawonyeeqinisweni, futhi ayephila ngevangeli kulawo maqembu. Lawokwakungamaqembu ayevulekile, futhi ayezimisele ukwabelanangeqiniso nabo bonke ababefuna ukulamukela.

Inhloso yalelo nalelo bandla wukwabelana ngoJesu, nanomalingakanani. IBandla ngalinye liyisikhungo semfundo lapho wonkeumuntu engafunda futhi afundise ngoJesu.

“Amaqembu amancane mawahlangane

ukuba afunde iMibhalo.

Aniyikulahlekelwa lutho ngalokho,

kodwa niyozuza okukhulu. Izingelosi

zikaNkulunkulu ziyoba semihlanganweni

yenu, kuyothi nisadla iSinkwa Sokuphila,

niyophiwa amandla kamoya kanye

nempilo. Niyobe nidla, ngokwesifaniso,

amaqabunga omuthi wokuphila. Yilena

kuphela indlela yokugcina ukwethembeka

kwenu.”

E.G.W. (This Day With God, January 3)

“Singazisho ukuthi singabalandeli

bakaKristu, singazisho ukuthi sikholelwa

kulo lonke iqiniso elisezwini

likaNkulunkulu; kodwa lokho kungemsize

umakhelwane uma ukukholwa kwethu

singakuphili nsuku zonke. Singamemeza

kuze kufike esibhakabhakeni, kodwa

kungesisindise thina noma abantu bakithi

uma singabi ngamaKristu. Ukuba yisibonelo

esihle kuyoba yinzuzo enkulu emhlabeni

kunokuzisho kwethu.”
