SIKHATHI somhlangano oqakatheke khulu eJerusalema. Ikosi uDavida ibize iinduna, iimphathimandla zesigodlo kunye namadoda anamandla. Baqale phambili esimemezelweni esikhethekileko. UJehova uyale indodana kaDavida uSolomoni bona yakhe umakhiwo ozokujamela ukukhulekelwa kwakaZimu wamambala. Ikosi ekulu yakwa-Israyeli yabhudanga iplani yomakhiwo yalinikela uSolomoni. UDavida wathi, ‘Umsebenzi mkhulu,’ ‘ngombana umakhiwo lo akusiwo womuntu kodwana ngewakaJehova uZimu.’—1 Kron. 28:1, 2, 6, 11, 12; 29:1.

Ngokulandelako, uDavida wabuza naku umbuzo: “Nje-ke ngubani kinapha namhlanje ofuna ukuzahlukanisela uZimu ngokunikela ngehliziyo evumako na?” (1 Kron. 29:5) Akhesithi bowulapho, bowuyosabela njani? Bewuzowusekela na umsebenzi loyo? Ama-Israyeli khenge ariyade. Kwamambala, “bathokoza khulu ngokunikela kwabo. Iye, banikela ngokuvuma kwehliziyo kuZimu.”—1 Kron. 29:9.

Ngemva kwamakhulu weminyaka, uJehova wahlela omunye umsebenzi omkhulu ukudlula wethempeli. Wakha ithempeli elingokomfanekiso, okulilungiselelo lokobana abantu bakghone ukutjhidela kuye bamlotjhe ngomhlatjelo kaJesu. (Heb. 9:11, 12) UJehova ubasiza njani abantu namhlanjesi bona batjhidele, babenobuhlobo naye? Ngomsebenzethu wokufundisa abantu. (Mat. 28:19, 20) Ngebanga lomsebenzi lo, umnyaka ngamunye kuragwa iimfundo zeBhayibheli eziingidi bese kubhajadiswe iinkulungwana zabantu, kuthonywe namakhulu wamabandla.

Umphumela walokhu kukuthi kuba netlhogeko yokugadangiswa kweencwadi zeBhayibheli, ukwakhiwa nokutlhogonyelwa kwamaWolo womBuso, kunye nokufunwa kweendawo zokwakhiwa kwamaWolo wemihlangano. Awuvumi na ukuthi umsebenzethu wokurhatjha iindaba ezimnandi ephasini mazombe msebenzi othabisako?—Mat. 24:14.

Ukuthanda uJehova nabomakhelwana kunye nokurhaba komsebenzi wokutjhumayela ngomBuso, kwenza abantu bakaZimu ‘banikela ngokuvuma kwehliziyo kuJehova’ ngokuba ziinsebenzi ezingabhadelwako. Qala bona kuthabisa kangangani ‘ukuhlonipha uJehova ngomnonwakho,’ kunye nokubona ukusetjenziswa kwezinto nezakhiwo ngokuthembeka ukwenza umsebenzi omkhulu emlandweni wesintu!—IzA. 3:9.
