Ngaba wakhe waswelekelwa? Ukuba yakhe yenzeka loo nto, mhlawumbi uyazibuza: ‘Kwenzeka ntoni ebantwini xa beswelekile? Ngaba likhona ithemba lokuba siya kuze siphinde sibabone abantu abaswelekileyo?’ Kwesi sifundo, nakwesilandelayo, uza kuva iimpendulo ezithuthuzelayo ezisuka eBhayibhileni.

1. Kwenzeka ntoni ebantwini xa beswelekile?

UYesu wafanisa ukufa nokulala. Ukufa kufana njani nokulala? Umntu osebuthongweni akayazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kwindawo akuyo. Xa umntu eswelekile akeva ntlungu. IBhayibhile ithi abantu “abafileyo abazi nto kwaphela.”​—Funda iNtshumayeli 9:5.

2. Kusinceda ngantoni ukwazi inyani ngento eyenzeka ebantwini abaswelekileyo?

Abantu abaninzi bayakoyika ukufa, boyika nabantu abaswelekileyo. Kodwa ingakuthuthuzela into ethethwa yiBhayibhile ngokufa. UYesu wathi: “Inyaniso iza kunikhulula.” (Yohane 8:32) Ezinye iinkonzo zifundisa ukuba kukho into eqhubeka iphila emntwini xa eswelekile. Kodwa iBhayibhile ayitsho. Loo nto ithetha ukuba akukho mntu uba sezintlungwini xa eswelekile. Enye into, abantu abaswelekileyo abanakusenzakalisa kuba akukho nto bayaziyo. Ngenxa yaloo nto, asikho isizathu sokuba sibakhonze okanye senze izinto kuba sisithi asifuni baqumbe. Asinaso nesizathu sokubathandazela.

Abanye abantu bathi bayakwazi ukuthetha nabantu abaswelekileyo, kanti nabo abantu baswelekileyo bayathetha nabo. Kodwa ayinakwenzeka loo nto. Kaloku besifundile ukuba abantu abaswelekileyo “abazi nto kwaphela.” Kusenokwenzeka ukuba abantu abacinga ukuba bathetha nabantu abaswelekileyo bathetha needemon ezizenza abo bantu. Ngenxa yaloo nto, ukwazi inyani ngento eyenzeka ebantwini abaswelekileyo kusikhusela kwiidemon. UYehova uyasilumkisa ngokuthetha nabantu abaswelekileyo kuba uyayazi ukuba iidemon ziza kusenzakalisa.​—Funda iDuteronomi 18:10-12.
