Nokho, njengenceku kaJehova, into ekulethela injabulo ngokukhethekile ukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu, ukutadisha iZwi lakhe nokushumayela izindaba ezinhle, akunjalo?
Engomeni yokubonga uMdali, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wasendulo, uDavide, yahlabelela: “O Nkulunkulu wami, ngikujabulele ukwenza intando yakho, nomthetho wakho usezibilinini zami.” (IHu. 40:8) Naphezu kobunzima nezingcindezi abhekana nazo ekuphileni, uDavide wayekujabulela ngempela ukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu. Yebo, uDavide akayena ukuphela komkhulekeli kaJehova owayekujabulela ukukhonza uNkulunkulu weqiniso.
Umphostoli uPawulu wasebenzisa amazwi eHubo 40:8 lapho ekhuluma ngoMesiya noma uKristu. Waloba: “Lapho [uJesu] efika ezweni uthi: ‘ “Awuzange uwufune umhlatshelo nomnikelo, kodwa ungilungiselele umzimba. Awuzange uyamukele iminikelo yokushiswa ephelele nomnikelo wesono.” Khona-ke ngathi, “Bheka! Ngizile (kulotshiwe ngami emqulwini wencwadi) ukuba ngenze intando yakho, Nkulunkulu.” ’ ”
Ngesikhathi esemhlabeni, uJesu wayekujabulela ukubuka indalo, ukuba nabangane nokudla nabanye. (Math. 6:
‘HAMBANI NIYOKWENZA ABAFUNDI’
UJesu wayala abalandeli bakhe: “Hambani niyokwenza abantu bazo zonke izizwe babe abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelomoya ongcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. Bhekani! Nginani izinsuku zonke kuze kube isiphelo sesimiso sezinto.” (Math. 28:
Uthando lusishukumisela ukuba siqhubeke sishumayela ngisho noma kwenzeka sihlangana nabantu abangasinaki
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abantu banesithakazelo esigijimini sethu noma cha, isimo sethu sengqondo sifeza indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekuyijabuleleni inkonzo. Kungani siqhubeka simemezela izindaba ezinhle ngisho noma kwenzeka sihlangana nabantu abangasinaki nabangenandaba nesigijimi sethu? Kungenxa yokuthi siyaqaphela ukuthi ukuhlanganyela emsebenzini wokushumayela ngoMbuso nokwenza abafundi kubonisa uthando lwethu ngoNkulunkulu nangomakhelwane. Empeleni, ukuphila kwethu nokomakhelwane bethu kusengozini. (Hez. 3:

Abantu abaningana kulabo ayebafundela baqala ukuba khona njalo emihlanganweni yethu. Yini eyasiza uMadaí ukuba aqale izifundo eziningi kangaka? Isikole sasigcizelele isidingo sokuqhubeka ebuyela aze abathole labo ababonise isithakazelo ekuqaleni. Omunye uFakazi osesize abantu abaningi ukuba bafunde amaqiniso eBhayibheli uthi, “Ngifunde ukuthi ukuphikelela ekwenzeni izimpindelo kubaluleke kakhulu ekusizeni abantu abafuna ukwazi uJehova.”
