 KWAPHELA iminyaka lemibili Jesu ashumayela eGalile. (Fundza Matewu 9:35-38.) Wavakashela emadolobha nemadolobhana lamanyenti afundzisa emasinagogeni futsi ashumayela tindzaba letimnandzi letimayelana neMbuso. Kuto tonkhe tindzawo labeshumayela kuto, ticumbi tebantfu betimtungeleta. Jesu wabona kutsi “umsebenti wekuvuna mkhulu” futsi bekudzingeka tisebenti letinyenti.

² Jesu wahlela kutfutfukisa umsebenti wekushumayela. Wakwenta njani loko? Ngekutsi atfume baphostoli bakhe labangu-12 kutsi “bayoshumayela ngeMbuso waNkulunkulu.” (Luk. 9:1, 2) Kungenteka kutsi labaphostoli batibuta kutsi batawenta njani lomsebenti. Ngaphambi kwekutsi abatfume, Jesu wabanika loko Babe wakhe wasezulwini lamnika kona​—wabacecesha.

³ Nayi imibuto lembalwa lesitibuta yona: Ngukuphi kuceceshwa Jesu lakutfola kuYise? Jesu wabanika kuphi kuceceshwa baphostoli bakhe? Kutsiwani ngalamuhla​—iNkhosi lenguMesiya ibaceceshile yini balandzeli bayo kutsi bente umsebenti wabo wekushumayela? Nangabe kunjalo, ikwente njani loko?

4. Jesu wafundziswa nguBabe wakhe nini futsi kuphi?

⁴ Jesu wavuma ngalokucondzile kutsi wafundziswa nguBabe wakhe. Ngesikhatsi ashumayela lapha emhlabeni, watsi: “Letintfo ngitikhuluma njengobe Babe angifundzisile.” (Joh. 8:28) Jesu wafundziswa nini futsi kuphi? Kuyacaca kutsi kuceceshwa kwakhe kwacala ngemuva kwekudalwa kwakhe njengeNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu lelitibulo. (Khol. 1:15) Njengobe beyiseceleni kweYise ezulwini, leNdvodzana yacitsa iminyaka leminyenti ilalela futsi ibuka “uMfundzisi Lomkhulu.” (Isa. 30:20, NW.) Ngenca yaloko, leNdvodzana yatfola imfundvo leyendlula yonkhe ebuntfwini baBabe wayo, emisebentini kanye nasenjongweni yakhe.

5. Ngutiphi ticondziso Babe latinika iNdvodzana yakhe lebetimayelana nemsebenti wekushumayela lebeyitawenta emhlabeni?

Cabanga ngesiphrofetho lesichaza buhlobo lobusemkhatsini weMfundzisi Lomkhulu neNdvodzana yakhe lelitibulo. (Fundza  Isaya 50:4, 5.) Lesiphrofetho sitsi Jehova abevusa iNdvodzana yakhe “njalo nje ekuseni.” Lomfanekiso usenta sicabange ngathishela lovusa umfundzi wakhe ekuseni kute amfundzise. Lenye incwadzi lechaza liBhayibheli itsi: “Kuba shengatsi Jehova . . . utsatsa Jesu njengemfundzi wakhe amyise esikolweni kute amfundzise indlela lokufanele ashumayele ngayo naloko lokufanele akushumayele.” “Kulesikolwa” sasezulwini, Jehova wafundzisa iNdvodzana yakhe kutsi kufanele ‘ikhulume ini.’ (Joh. 12:49) Babe waphindze wanika iNdvodzana yakhe ticondziso tendlela yekufundzisa. a Ngesikhatsi Jesu alapha emhlabeni, akazange agcine ngekusebentisa loko labececeshwe kona emsebentini wakhe wekushumayela, kodvwa waphindze wacecesha balandzeli bakhe kutsi bente nemsebenti wabo wekushumayela.

⁷ Kutsiwani ngalamuhla? Jesu, iNkhosi yeMbuso waNkulunkulu, unike balandzeli bakhe umsebenti lobaluleke kakhulu wekutsi bashumayele “letindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso . . . emhlabeni wonkhe, kuze kube bufakazi etiveni tonkhe.” (Mat. 24:14) INkhosi isiceceshile yini kutsi sente lomsebenti lobaluleke kakhulu? Yebo isiceceshile. Njengobe isezulwini, ihlelile kutsi balandzeli bayo batfole kuceceshwa endleleni yekushumayela ensimini, kanye nekufeza imisebenti lebalulekile ebandleni.

Kantsi lenye injongo leyinhloko yalemfundvo kwenta labafundzi kutsi babe nesifiso lesikhulu sekuhlanganyela emsebentini webavangeli.”​—Ef. 4:11.

Letitfunywa telivangeli tikusebentise kahle kuceceshwa kwato ngekutsi tibe sibonelo sekukhutsala ensimini tiphindze ticeceshe nalabanye kutsi bente lokufananako. Etikhatsini letinyenti, letitfunywa telivangeli ngito letiholako ekwenteni lomsebenti etindzaweni lapho kunebamemeteli labambalwa khona nobe lapho bangekho kwasanhlobo.

¹³ Cabanga ngaloko lokwenteka eJapan ngesikhatsi umsebenti wekushumayela lohleliwe ungasachubeki ngalokuphelele, emkhatsini neMphi Yelive Yesibili. Nga-August 1949, bekunebamemeteli labangephansi kwalabalishumi eJapan. Nanobe kunjalo, ngasekupheleni kwaloyo mnyaka, besekunetitfunywa telivangeli letingu-13 leticeceshwe eGileyadi lebetimatasatasa tishumayela eJapan. Kwafika naletinye titfunywa telivangeli. Ekucaleni, betishumayela emadolobheni lamakhulu, kodvwa ngemuva kwesikhatsi tatfutsela nakulamanye. Ngelutsandvo, letitfunywa telivangeli betikhutsata bantfu letibafundzelako kanye nalabanye kutsi babe ngemahlahlandlela.
