UKUPHILA KWAMI: Ngakhulela e-Ancram, idolobha elincaneelisemaphandleni aseNew York, e-U.S.A. Kuleli dolobhakwakunamapulazi amaningi okwakufuywe kuwo izinkomo.Empeleni kwakunezinkomo eziningi ukudlula abantu.Kulelo dolobha kwakunesonto elilodwa futhi umndeni wakithi

wawuya kulo. Njalo ngeSonto ekuseni umkhulu wayepholishaizicathulo zami bese ngiya kuSonto-sikole ngiphethe iBhayibhelilami elincane elimhlophe engangiliphiwe ugogo. Mina nezinga-ne zakithi safundiswa ukusebenza kanzima, ukuhlonipha, uku-siza omakhelwane nokubonga ngezibusiso esizitholayo.Lapho sengikhulile, ngahamba ekhaya ngaba uthisha. Nga-

nginemibuzo eminingi ngoNkulunkulu nangokuphila. Abanyebabafundi bami babehlakaniphile. Abanye babengahlakaniphi-le kangako kodwa bezikhandla. Abanye babekhubazekile ku-yilapho abanye beyimiqemane. Nganginomuzwa wokuthi abu-kho ubulungisa. Ngezinye izikhathi abazali babafundi ababedo-nsa kanzima ezifundweni zabo babesho izinto ezinjengokuthi,“Kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ukuba ingane yami ibe nje.” Ngangi-zibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu evumela ukuba ezinye izi-ngane zizalwe zikhubazekile. Ngoba phela izinsana azenzangalutho olubi.Ngangizibuza nokuthi, ‘Yini enenjongo okufanele ngiyenze

ngokuphila kwami?’ Ngangizwa sengathi akukho engikufezayongokuphila kwami. Ngakhulela emndenini omi kahle, ngaya ezi-koleni eziphambili futhi manje ngase ngenza umsebenzi engiwu-thandayo.

imibuzo yami. Ngemva kokubuyela ekhayaeSloatsburg, eNew York, ngavakashela amasontoamaningana. Kodwa alikho nelilodwa elanginikezaizimpendulo ezanelisayo.

Ngolunye usuku, umfundi oneminyaka engu-12weza kimi wangibuza imibuzo emithathu. Okokuqalawabuza ukuthi ngiyazi yini ukuthi ungomunye woFaka-zi BakaJehova. Ngathi yebo. Okwesibili wabuza ukuthingingathanda yini ukwazi okwengeziwe ngoFakazi Ba-kaJehova. Ngaphinde ngathi yebo. Okwesithathu wa-ngibuza ukuthi ngihlala kuphi. Lapho ngimtshela ikhe-li lami, kwabonakala ukuthi ngihlala ngakubo. Nga-ngingazi ukuthi leyo mibuzo emithathu engayibuzwaintombazanyana yayiyoshintsha ukuphila kwami ngo-kuphelele.Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, wagibela ibhayisi-

kili lakhe weza kwami, waqala ukungifundela iBhayi-bheli. Ngambuza imibuzo engangiyibuze abaholi be-nkolo abaningi. Ngokungafani nabowangibonisa eBha-yibhelini lami izimpendulo ezicacile nezanelisayo—izi-mpendulo engangingakaze ngizibone ngaphambili!Engangikufunda eBhayibhelini kwangenza ngajabu-

la futhi nganeliseka. Ngathinteka kakhulu lapho ngi-funda eyoku-1 Johane 5:19, ethi: “Lonke izwe lisema-ndleni omubi.” Ngakhululeka lapho ngithola ukuthiuSathane obangela usizi esilubona emhlabeni namu-hla, hhayi uNkulunkulu—nokuthi uNkulunkulu uzolu-qeda lolu sizi. (IsAmbulo 21:3, 4) Ngathola ukuthi la-pho iBhayibheli lichazwa kahle kulula ukuliqonda. Na-kuba uFakazi owayengifundela ayeneminyaka engu-12 nje kuphela, ngangizimisele ukuthola iqiniso ku-ngakhathaliseki ukuthi ngilifundiswa umuntu ongaka-nani.Ngisho noma kunjalo, ngangifuna ukubona ukuthi

oFakazi bayakwenza yini lokho abakufundisayo. Ngo-kwesibonelo, le ntombazanyana yagcizelela ukuthiamaKristu eqiniso abonisa izimfanelo ezinjengokube-kezela nomusa. (Galathiya 5:22, 23) Nganquma uku-mvivinya ukuze ngibone ukuthi wayenazo yini lezo zi-mfanelo. Ngolunye usuku ngamabomu, ngafika nge-mva kwesikhathi esasivumelene ngaso esifundweni se-thu. Ngangizibuza: ‘Kazi uzongilinda yini? Uma engili-ndile, ngizomfica ecasukile yini?’ Njengoba nginge-na ngemoto esangweni, ngambona engilindile phambikomnyango wendlu yami. Wagijima weza kimi emo-tweni wathi: “Besengicabanga ukuya ekhaya ngiyotshe-la umama ukuthi kudingeka sifonele izibhedlela nama-phoyisa ukuze sithole ukuthi akukho yini okukwehlele

ngoba awukaze ufike sekwephuzile. Bengikhathazekekakhulu ngawe!”Ngesinye isikhathi, ngabuza umbuzo engangicaba-

nga ukuthi kuzoba nzima kakhulu ngengane enemi-nyaka engu-12 ukuwuphendula. Ngangifuna ukubo-na ukuthi uzovele aphendule ngekhanda yini. La-pho ngiwubuza, wangibuka ngobuso obungahleki wa-thi: “Umbuzo onzima ngempela lowo. Ngizowubhalaphansi bese ngibuza abazali bami.” Nangempela, la-pho ebuya ezongifundela, wafika ephethe INqabayoku-linda eyayinempendulo yombuzo wami. Yilokho okwa-ngenza ngabathanda oFakazi—izincwadi zabo zangini-keza izimpendulo ezisekelwe eBhayibhelini zayo yonkeimibuzo yami. Ngaqhubeka ngifunda naleyo ntomba-zanyana futhi ngemva konyaka ngabhapathizwa ngabaomunye woFakazi BakaJehova.�

INDLELA ENGIYE NGAZUZA NGAYO: Lapho ekugcineningithola izimpendulo ezanelisayo zemibuzo yami,ngafuna ukuzixoxela wonke umuntu. (Mathewu12:35) Ekuqaleni umndeni wakithi wawuphikisananezinkolelo zami ezintsha. Nokho, ngokuhambakwesikhathi waqala ukulalela. Umama waqalaukufunda iBhayibheli ngaphambi nje kokuba ashone.Nakuba ashona engakabhapathizwa, ngiyaqinisekaukuthi wayesenqumile ukukhonza uJehova.Ngo-1978, ngashada noFakazi ogama lakhe lingu-Eli-

as Kazan. Ngo-1981, samenyelwa ukuba sibe amalu-ngu omkhaya waseBethel e-United States.� Ngokuda-bukisayo ngemva nje kweminyaka emine sikhonza la-pho, u-Elias washona. Nakuba ngase ngingumfeloka-zi, ngaqhubeka ngikhonza eBethel, okwanginika intoengangingagxila kuyo futhi kwangenza ngaduduzekakakhulu.Ngo-2006 ngashada noRichard Eldred engangikho-

nza naye eBethel. Mina noRichard sisaqhubeka sijabule-la ilungelo lokukhonza eBethel. Njengoba sengazi iqini-so ngoNkulunkulu, nginomuzwa wokuthi angitholanganje izimpendulo engangizifuna kodwa ngithole nenjo-ngo yangempela ekuphileni—konke lokhu kwaqala nge-mibuzo emithathu engayibuzwa intombazanyana. ˇ

� Le ntombazanyana kanye nezingane zakubo basiza othishababo abayisihlanu ukuba batadishe iBhayibheli futhi bakhuleke-le uJehova.� Igama elithi “Bethel” elisho ukuthi “Indlu kaNkulunkulu,”

yigama oFakazi BakaJehova abalisebenzisa lapho bechaza iza-khiwo zabo zamagatsha ezisemhlabeni wonke. (Genesise 28:17,19) Amalungu omkhaya waseBethel enza imisebenzi ehlukahlu-kene esekela umsebenzi wokufundisa woFakazi BakaJehova.

Arthur S. Hunt, izazi zasenyuvesi yase-Oxford, za-vakashela e-Egypt. Zilapho, zathola izingcezwanazama-Papyrus endaweni okulahlwa kuyo udoti ese-duze neSigodi saseNayile. Kamuva, ngo-1920, ngesi-khathi lezi zazi ezimbili zihlanganisa lokho ezaziku-tholile, uGrenfell wathola ezinye izingcezu ezazivu-bukulwe e-Egypt. Izingcezu azithola waziyisa e-JohnRylands Library eseManchester, eNgilandi. Nokho,zombili lezi zazi zafa ngaphambi kokuba ziqede uku-hlanganisa lezi zingcezu.

UColin H. Roberts, esinye isazi sasenyuvesi yase-Oxford, saqedela ukuhlanganisa lezi zingcezu. Nge-sikhathi sihlanganisa lezi zingcezu, sathola ucezulwe-Papyrus olucishe lulingane nekhadi lasebhange.Samangala lapho sibona amagama esasiwajwayelekulolu cezu olubhalwe ngesiGreki. Kolunye uhlango-thi lwalolu cezu kwakunamazwi athathwe kuJohane18:31-33. Kolunye kunezingxenye zamavesi 37 no 38.URoberts waqaphela ukuthi wayethole umbhalo we-sandla oyigugu.

UKUTHOLA UKUTHI LO MBHALO WALOTSHWA NINIURoberts wasola ukuthi lolu cezu lwe-papyrus lwa-

luludala kakhulu. Kodwa lwaluludala kangakana-

ni? Ukuze athole ubudala balo, waqhathanisa indle-la olwalubhalwe ngayo neminye imibhalo yesandlayasendulo ayenolwazi lokuthi yabhalwa nini—lokhukubizwa ngokuthi yi-paleography.� Ngokusebenzisale ndlela, wakwazi ukuthola ukuthi lo mbhalo we-sandla wawumdala kangakanani. Kodwa wayefunaukuqiniseka ngalokho ayekutholile. Ngakho watha-tha izithombe zalezi zingcezu, wazithumela ezaziniezintathu zemibhalo ye-papyrus (papyrologists), wazi-cela ukuba zihlole ubudala balezi zingcezu. Yini eya-tholwa yilezi zazi?

Ngokufunda indlela umbhalo obhalwe ngayo no-kubukeka kwezinhlamvu zamagama, lezi zazi ezi-chwepheshile zabe sezivumelana ngokuthi lolu cezulwabhalwa engxenyeni yokuqala yekhulu lesibili C.E.—ngemva kwamashumi eminyaka ambalwa nje um-phostoli uJohane efile. Nokho i-paleography akuyonaindlela eqinisekisiwe yokuthola ukuthi umbhalo we-sandla wabhalwa nini futhi esinye isazi sikholelwaukuthi asaziwa isikhathi esiqondile lo mbhalo owa-bhalwa ngaso phakathi nekhulu lesibili. Noma ku-njalo lolu cezu oluncane lwe-papyrus lwaluwumbha-lo—liseyiwo namanje—omdala kunayo yonke emibha-lweni yasandla yemiBhalo yamaKristu yesiGreki eya-ke yatholakala.

OKWEMBULWA UMBHALO WESANDLAWASE-RYLANDS

Kungani lolu cezu lombhalo wesandla weVange-li likaJohane lubaluleke kangaka kubathandi beBha-yibheli namuhla? Nazi izizathu ezimbili. Okokuqa-

� Ngokwencwadi ethi Manuscripts of the Greek Bible, i-palae-ography “iwumkhakha wemfundo ohlola imibhalo yasendulo.”Njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka, indlela yokubhala iyashintsha.Lezi zinguquko zingembula ubudala bombhalo wesandla umauqhathaniswa neminye imibhalo yasendulo okwaziwayo ukuthiyalotshwa nini.

Ukuthola Umbhalo WesandlaWasendulo Endaweni Kadoti

APRIL 1, 2015 11

la, indlela lolu cezu olubhalwe ngayo isenza siqo-nde indlela amaKristu okuqala ayeyazisa ngayo imi-Bhalo.

Ngekhulu lesibili C.E., imibhalo yayitholakala nge-zinhlobo ezimbili—umqulu nange-codex. Umqulu wa-wenziwa ngokuhlanganisa izingxenye ze-papyrusnoma isikhumba ukuze kwenziwe iphepha lokubha-la elide. Leli phepha lalisongwa noma livulwe umalifundwa. Ezikhathini eziningi, kwakubhalwa ohla-ngothini olulodwa lomqulu.

Nokho, ucezu oluncane olwatholwa uRoberts lwa-lubhalwe nhlangothi zombili. Lokhu kwakubonisaukuthi lwaluyingxenye ye-codex hhayi umqulu. I-co-dex yayenziwa ngamakhasi esikhumba noma e-pa-pyrus ayehlanganiswa ngokuthungwa agoqwe abe yi-ncwadi.

Yini eyayenza i-codex ibe ngcono kunomqulu? Phe-la, amaKristu okuqala ayengabavangeli. (Mathewu24:14; 28:19, 20) Ayeshumayela umyalezo weBhayi-bheli nomaphi lapho ayethola khona abantu—ema-khaya, ezimakethe nasemigwaqeni. (IzEnzo 5:42; 17:17; 20:20) Ngakho ukuba nemiBhalo okulula ukuha-mba nayo kwakuwasiza kakhulu.

I-codex yayiphinde ikwenze kube lula ngamaba-ndla nabantu ngabanye ukuba bazenzele amakho-phi abo emiBhalo. Ngakho amaVangeli ayekopishwangokuphindaphindiwe futhi akungabazeki ukuthi

lokhu kwaba nomthelela ekutheni ubuKristu bandengokushesha.

Isizathu sesibili esenza umbhalo wesandla wase-Rylands ubaluleke kangaka kithi namuhla ukuthiwembula indlela enokwethenjelwa imiBhalo yeBha-yibheli eyadluliselwa ngayo. Nakuba lolu cezu luna-mavesi ambalwa eVangeli likaJohane, lawo mavesiavumelana ngokuphelele namavesi esiwafunda ema-Bhayibhelini ethu namuhla. Ngakho umbhalo wesa-ndla wase-Rylands ubonisa ukuthi iBhayibheli aliza-nge lishintshe naphezu kokukopishwa kwalo izikha-thi eziningi.

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi umbhalo wesandla wase-Rylands weVangeli likaJohane uphakathi kwemibha-lo yesandla eminingi efakazela ukuthi imiBhalo ye-Bhayibheli yokuqala ayizange ishintshwe. Encwadiniyakhe ethi The Bible as History, uWerner Keller wa-phetha ngokuthi: “Le mibhalo yesandla emidala ini-keza ubufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bokuthi esikufu-nda emaBhayibheli ethu namuhla kunembile futhikunokwethenjelwa.”

Yiqiniso, amaKristu awasekeli ukholo lwawo emi-vubukulweni. Akholelwa ukuthi “yonke imiBhaloiphefumulelwe uNkulunkulu.” (2 Thimothewu 3:16)Noma kunjalo, yeka indlela okuqinisa ngayo idolo la-pho imibhalo yasendulo eyigugu iqinisekisa lokhoiBhayibheli elakusho endulo: “Izwi likaJehova lihlalaphakade”!—1 Petru 1:25. ˇ

Kungani lolu cezulombhalo wesa-ndla weVangelilikaJohane luba-luleke kangakakubathandi be-Bhayibheli na-muhla? UCEZU LWASE-RYLANDS

ngaphambili nangemuva(ubukhulu bangempela balolu cezu)

“QHUBEKANI NIKWENZA LOKHU NINGIKHUMBULA”UMandisa: Sawubona Senzi. Ngajabula kakhu-

lu ukukubona ngesonto elidlule eSikhumbuzwe-ni sokufa kukaJesu Kristu.� Wakujabulela kodwawena?USenzi: Ngakujabulela kakhulu, nakuba nginga-

kuqondanga kahle konke okwakushiwo. Ngike nge-zwa ngabantu abagubha ukuzalwa kukaJesu ngo-Khisimusi nokufa kwakhe ngama-Easter, kodwaangikaze ngizwe kuthiwa kukhona abakhumbulaukufa kwakhe.UMandisa: Uqinisile, uKhisimusi nama-Easter

imikhosi ethandwa kakhulu emhlabeni wonke. Ko-dwa oFakazi BakaJehova banomuzwa wokuthi ku-balulekile ukukhumbula ukufa kukaJesu. Uma una-yo imizuzwana, ngingathanda ukukubonisa ukuthikungani benalowo muzwa.USenzi: Kulungile, nginaso isikhathi.UMandisa: Empeleni, oFakazi BakaJehova ba-

khumbula ukufa kukaJesu ngoba wayala abalande-li bakhe ukube bamkhumbule. Cabanga ngalokhookwenzeka ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuba uJe-su afe. Wake wezwa yini ngesidlo esikhethekile abanaso nabalandeli bakhe abathembekile?USenzi: Usho iPhasika?UMandisa: Yebo. Siphinde sibizwe nangokuthi

iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa. Phakathi naleso sidlo,

� Kanye ngonyaka, oFakazi BakaJehova bayahlangana ukuzebakhumbule ukufa kukaJesu nomhlatshelo asenzela wona. Kulonyaka, leso sikhumbuzo sizoba ngoLwesihlanu, ngomhla ka-April 3.

uJesu wanika abalandeli bakhe umyalo ocacile. Ngi-cela ufunde la mazwi akhe alotshwe kuLuka 22:19.USenzi: Kulungile. Le ncwadi ithi: “Wathatha isi-

nkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wabanika sona, wa-thi: ‘Lokhu kusho umzimba wami ozonikelwa nge-nxa yenu. Qhubekani nikwenza lokhu ningikhu-mbula.’ ”UMandisa: Ngiyabonga. Phawula lo myalo uJe-

su awukhipha ekupheleni kwaleli vesi: “Qhubeka-ni nikwenza lokhu ningikhumbula.” Kanti ngapha-mbi nje kokuba ayale abalandeli bakhe ukuba bam-khumbule, uJesu wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi yiniokwakufanele bayikhumbule ngaye. Wathi ukuphi-la kwakhe kwakuzonikelwa ngenxa yabalandeli ba-khe. UJesu waphinde washo amazwi afanayo alo-tshwe kuMathewu 20:28. Wathi: ‘INdodana yomu-ntu ayizelanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza no-kunikela umphefumulowayo ube yisihlengo sabani-ngi.’ Kafushane nje, oFakazi BakaJehova bahlanga-na njalo ngonyaka esikhumbuzweni sokufa kuka-Jesu ngenxa yaleso sizathu—ukukhumbula umhla-tshelo wesihlengo owenziwa uJesu. Ukufa kwakhekunganikeza bonke abantu abalalelayo ukuphila.

KUNGANI SASIDINGEKA ISIHLENGO?USenzi: Yazi, ngike ngibezwe abantu bethi uJesu

wafa ukuze sithole ukuphila. Kodwa uma ngikhulu-ma iqiniso, angiqondi ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini.UMandisa:Akuwenawedwa ongakuqondi lokho,

Senzi. Phela le ndaba yomhlatshelo wesihlengo ka-Jesu ave ijulile. Kodwa futhi ingenye yamaqiniso

INGXOXO NOMAKHELWANE

Kungani KufaneleSikhumbule UkufaKukaJesu?Ngezansi kunengxoxo uFakazi kaJehova angase abenayo nomakhelwane. Ake sithi uFakazi ogama lakhelinguMandisa uxoxa noSenzi.

eZwi likaNkulunkulu amahle kakhulu. Angikuba-mbezeli nje, usenaso isikhathi?USenzi: Nginayo imizuzwana.UMandisa: Kuhle. Yazi ngisanda kufunda nga-

yo le ndaba yesihlengo, ngizozama ukuyichaza nge-ndlela elula.USenzi: Ngilalele.UMandisa: Ukuze sisiqonde isihlengo, kufanele

siqale siqonde isimo esabangelwa ukona kuka-Ada-mu no-Eva ensimini yase-Edene. Ukuze sikuqondekahle lokhu, ake sifunde eyabaseRoma 6:23. Ngice-la uwufunde lo mBhalo.USenzi:Uthi: “Inkokhelo yesono ngukufa, kodwa

isipho uNkulunkulu asinikezayo ngukuphila oku-phakade ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.”UMandisa:Ngiyabonga. Ake siwuchaze lo mBha-

lo. Okokuqala phawula indlela leli vesi eliqala nga-yo: “Inkokhelo yesono ngukufa.” Lona ngumthe-tho olula uNkulunkulu awubeka ekuqaleni komla-ndo wabantu—inkokhelo noma umphumela weso-no ukufa. Ekuqaleni akekho owayeyisoni. U-Adamuno-Eva babephelele futhi zonke izingane zabo zazi-yozalwa zingabantu abaphelele. Ngakho sasingekesibe khona isizathu sokuba sife. U-Adamu no-Evakanye nenzalo yabo babenethemba lokuphila pha-kade ngokujabula. Kodwa njengoba sazi, izinto aze-nzekanga ngaleyo ndlela.USenzi: Uqinisile. U-Adamu no-Eva badla isithe-

lo esasenqatshelwe.UMandisa: Kunjalo. Ngokwenza kanjalo—lapho

u-Adamu no-Eva bekhetha ukungamlaleli uNkulu-nkulu—bona. Eqinisweni bakhetha ukuba abantuabangaphelele, baba izoni. Leso sinqumo salethelau-Adamu no-Eva kanye nenzalo yabo imiphumelaedabukisayo.USenzi: Usho ukuthini?UMandisa: Nasi isibonelo. Uyakuthanda uku-

bhaka?USenzi: Yebo! Ngikuthanda kakhulu.UMandisa: Ake sithi unepani elisha lokubhaka

izinkwa. Ngaphambi nje kokuba ulisebenzise live-le liwe libe nesifaca esikhulu. Zingaphuma zinjaniizinkwa ongazibhaka ngalelo pani? Ngeke yini zibenesifaca esikhulu?USenzi: Hhawu phela akubuzwa, zingaba naso.

UMandisa: Ngendlela efanayo, lapho u-Adamuno-Eva bekhetha ukungamlaleli uNkulunkulu, baba“nesifaca” noma isibazi, okuyisono nokungaphele-li. Ngenxa yokuthi baba yizoni ngaphambi koku-ba babe nezingane, zonke izingane zabo zaziyoza-lwa zinaleso “sifaca.” Zonke zaziyozalelwa esonwe-ni. EBhayibhelini igama elithi “isono” alibhekiselinje esenzweni kodwa nakulokho okuyimiphumelayaso esakuzuza njengefa. Umphumela uba wukuthinakuba mina nawe singenzanga lutho olubi—phelasasingakazalwa thina—ukona kuka-Adamu no-Eva

kwabangela ukuba bonke abantu bazalwe benga-phelele benesono okwakuyobangela ukuba ekugci-neni bafe. Njengoba sifundile kweyabaseRoma 6:23, inkokhelo yesono ukufa.USenzi: Kodwa abukho ubulungisa lapho. Ku-

ngani kufanele bonke abantu bahlupheke phakadengenxa yesono sika-Adamu no-Eva?UMandisa: Uqinisile—kona kubonakala kunge-

nabulungisa. Kodwa kuningi okuhilelekile kulendaba. Ngobulungisa bakhe obuphelele, uNkulu-nkulu wanquma ukuthi u-Adamu no-Eva kufanelebafe ngenxa yezono zabo, kodwa thina njengenzaloyabo sinalo ithemba. UNkulunkulu wenza indlelayokuba siphume kulolu sizi. Isihlengo sikaJesu si-ngena lapha ke. Ake uphinde ubheke eyabaseRo-ma 6:23. Ngemva kokuba ethe “inkokhelo yesonoukufa” ivesi liqhubeka lithi: “Kodwa isipho uNkulu-nkulu asinikezayo ngukuphila okuphakade ngoKri-stu Jesu iNkosi yethu.” Ngakho ukufa kukaJesu ku-sinika indlela yokusindiswa esonweni nasekufeni.�

� Isihloko esilandelayo kulolu chungechunge sizoxoxa nge-ndlela umhlatshelo wesihlengo kaJesu osikhulula ngayo eso-nweni kanye nalokho okumelwe sikwenze ukuze sizuze kulesisihlengo.

Umhlatshelo wesihlengouwukubonakaliswa kothandookukhulu kunakho konke

ISIHLENGO—ISIPHO SIKANKULUNKULU ESIKHULUUMandisa:Kunokunye kuleli vesi engingathanda

ukukubonisa khona.USenzi: Kulungile ungangibonisa.UMandisa: Phawula ukuthi leli vesi lithi: “Isipho

uNkulunkulu asinikezayo ngukuphila okuphakadengoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.” Ngakho, uma kungu-Jesu owahlupheka futhi wasifela, enikela ngokuphi-la kwakhe ngenxa yethu, pho kungani leli vesi li-khuluma ngesihlengo ‘njengesiyisipho uNkulunku-lu asinikezayo’? Kungani kungashiwo ukuthi, “isi-pho uJesu asinikezayo”?�USenzi: Ayi angazi.UMandisa: Nasi isizathu, uNkulunkulu wadala

u-Adamu no-Eva futhi lapho bekhetha ukungala-leli ensimini yase-Edene bona kuye. Kufanele uku-ba wezwa ubuhlungu obukhulu lapho abantwanabakhe ababili bokuqala abangabantu bevukela. Ko-dwa ngokushesha uJehovawenza indlela yokukuxa-zulula lokho.� Wahlela ukuba esinye sezidalwa za-khe zomoya size emhlabeni, siphile njengomuntuophelele, futhi ekugcineni sinikele ngokuphila kwa-so njengomhlatshelo wesihlengo. Ngakho, ngempe-la lonke leli lungiselelo lesihlengo laliyisipho esi-vela kuNkulunkulu. Kunenye futhi indlela eboni-sa ukuthi isihlengo sasiyisipho esivela kuNkulunku-lu. Wake wayicabanga nje indlela okumelwe ukubauNkulunkulu wazizwa ngayo lapho uJesu ebulawa?USenzi: Cha, angikaze.UMandisa:Ngibone amathoyizi uma ngingena la

ekhaya. Kumelwe ukuba unabantwana.

USenzi: Yebo, nginabantwana ababili—umfananentombazane.UMandisa: Njengomzali, ake ucabange ngendle-

la okumelwe ukuba wazizwa ngayo uYise kaJesuosezulwini, uJehova uNkulunkulu, ngosuku uJesuafa ngalo. Njengoba ebuka esezulwini, wazizwa ka-njani lapho iNdodana yakhe iboshwa, ihlekwa usu-lu futhi ibhaxabulwa?Wazizwa kanjani lapho iNdo-dana yakhe ibethelwa esigxotsheni futhi ishiywa la-pho ukuba kancane kancane ife kabuhlungu?USenzi: Kumelwe ukuba wezwa ubuhlungu obu-

khulu. Hhayi yazi angikaze ngikucabange lokho!UMandisa: Khona akulula ngathi ukuqonda

indlela uNkulunkulu azizwa ngayo ngalolo suku.Kodwa siyazi ukuthi unemizwa, futhi siyasazi isiza-thu esamenza wavumela konke lokho ukuba kwe-nzeke. Sichazwe kahle la kulo mBhalo kaJohane 3:16 ojwayelekile. Ngicela uwufunde.USenzi:Ufundeka kanje: “UNkulunkulu walitha-

nda izwe kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdoda-na yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke umuntu obo-nisa ukholo kuyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphi-la okuphakade.”UMandisa: Ngiyabonga. Awuphinde ubheke la-

pha ekuqaleni kwaleli vesi. Lithi: “UNkulunku-lu walithanda izwe.” Nali igama eliyinhloko—utha-ndo. Uthando lwashukumisela uNkulunkulu ukubaathumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba izosi-fela. Ngempela umhlatshelo wesihlengo uwukubo-nakaliswa kothando okukhulu kunakho konke. Yi-ngakho oFakazi BakaJehova behlangana unyaka no-nyaka ukuze bakhumbule ukufa kukaJesu.

ImiBhalo YamaKristu YesiGreki ikhuluma kaningi ngezinduna zekhu-lu zaseRoma. Induna yebutho eyayengamele ukubulawa kukaJesu ya-yinaleso sikhundla, noKorneliyu oweZizwe wokuqala ukuphenduke-la ebuKristwini wayenesikhundla esifanayo. Isikhulu okwakufanelesengamele ukubhaxabulwa kukamphostoli uPawulu, kanye noJuliyuowayeqaphe uPawulu njengoba eya eRoma, bobabili babeyizindunazekhulu.—Marku 15:39; IzEnzo 10:1; 22:25; 27:1.Ngokuvamile induna yekhulu yayiba induna yebutho elakhiwa ama-

doda angu-50 kuya ku-100. Umsebenzi wayo wawuhlanganisa ukuqe-qesha nokuqondisa ibutho layo, ihlole izingubo nezikhali zebutho fu-thi ikhiphe iziqondiso empini.Ukuba induna yekhulu kwakuyisikhundla esiphakeme kakhulu

kwezazingatholwa amasosha avamile. Labo ababesithola lesi sikhu-ndla kwakuba amasosha asemkantsh’ ubomvu akwazi kahle ukuho-la. Ukuhleleka nokuphumelela kwebutho laseRoma elinamandla kwa-kuxhomeke kulezi zikhulu. Enye incwadi ithi izinduna zekhulu “ngoku-vamile zazingamadoda asenesikhathi eside nanolwazi oluningi ebu-thweni.” ˇ
