Wenza ntoni uYesu ngoku? Kwaye ndingamvumela njani ukuba andisebenzise? Ngu-Ellen White

Ngomhla omiselweyo wokugweba - ekupheleni kweentsuku ezingama-2300 ngo-1844 - uphando kunye nokupheliswa kwezono kwaqala. Wonke umntu owakhe wathabatha igama likaYesu uya kujongwa. Abaphilayo nabafileyo baya kugwetywa “ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ngokoko kubhaliweyo ezincwadini.”— ISityhilelo 20,12:XNUMX .

Izono ezingaguqukiyo kwaye zilahlwe azinako ukuxolelwa kwaye zicinywe kwiincwadi zerekhodi, kodwa ziya kungqina ngokuchasene nomoni ngemini kaThixo. Nokuba wenza ububi emini, nokuba kumnyama thsu; Phambi kwale sijongene nayo, yonke into yayivuleleke ngokupheleleyo. Iingelosi zikaThixo zasibona sonke isono zaza zasibhala kwiingxelo ezingenakuphoswa. Isono sinokufihlwa, sikhanyelwe okanye sigqunywe kuyise, kumama, kumfazi, kubantwana nakwizihlobo; Ngaphandle komenzi wobugwenxa, akukho mntu unokukrokrela nantoni na ngokungabikho kokusesikweni; kodwa yonke into ityhiliwe kwinkonzo yobungqondi basezulwini. Ubusuku obumnyama, ubugcisa obufihlakeleyo bokukhohlisa akwanelanga ukufihla ingcinga enye kuNaphakade.

UThixo unengxelo echanileyo yayo yonke iakhawunti yobuxoki nempatho engafanelekanga. Imbonakalo yobuthixo ayinakumfamekisa. Akaphazami ekuvavanyeni umlinganiswa. Abantu bakhohliswa ngabo banentliziyo eyonakeleyo, kodwa uThixo ubona kuzo zonke izigqubuthelo zobuso kwaye ufunda ubomi bethu obungaphakathi njengencwadi evuliweyo. Enjani yona ukuba namandla ingcamango!

Ngenye imini emva kolunye uyadlula kwaye umthwalo wakhe wobungqina ufumana indlela yawo kwiincwadi zerekhodi zanaphakade zezulu. Amagama athethiweyo, imisebenzi xa sele yenziwe, ayinakuze ijikwe. Iingelosi zabhala okulungileyo nokubi. Abanqobi abanamandla emhlabeni abakwazi ukucima usuku olunye kwiirekhodi. Izenzo zethu, amazwi, nezona njongo zethu ziyimfihlo zithatha isigqibo ngobunzima bazo phezu kwekamva lethu, impilo-ntle yethu okanye yeha. Nokuba sele sizilibele, ubungqina bazo bunegalelo ekugwetyweni kwethu nasekugwetyweni. Kanye njengokuba inkangeleko yobuso ibonakala esipilini ngendlela echanileyo, ubuntu buyabhalwa ngokuthembekileyo kwiincwadi zasezulwini. Kodwa hayi indlela enikelwe ingqalelo encinane ngayo kule ngxelo apho izidalwa zasezulwini zifumana ukuqonda.

Ngaba umkhusane owahlula okubonakalayo kwihlabathi elingabonakaliyo ubunokurhoxiswa, baze abantwana babantu babone izithunywa zezulu zibhala onke amazwi nezenzo eziya kujongana nazo ekugwetyweni, mangaphi amazwi ebeya kuhlala engachazwanga, mingaphi na imisebenzi engagqitywanga!

Inkundla iphonononga ukuba italente nganye isetyenziswe kangakanani na. Silisebenzise njani ikomkhulu esalibolekwa lizulu? Xa ithe yakufika iNkosi, yoyizuza na impahla yayo inenzala? Ngaba sibuphucule ubuchule esibuqhelileyo ezandleni zethu, iintliziyo neengqondo zethu kwaye sabusebenzisa ekuzukiseni uThixo nakwintsikelelo yehlabathi? Silisebenzise njani ixesha lethu, usiba lwethu, ilizwi lethu, imali yethu, impembelelo yethu? Samenzela ntoni uYesu xa wayedibana nathi ekwimo yamahlwempu nababandezelekileyo, iinkedama nabahlolokazi? UThixo usenze abagadi belizwi lakhe elingcwele; Senze ntoni ngolwazi nenyaniso esiyinikwayo ukuze sikwazi ukubonisa abanye indlela yosindiso?

Ukuvuma nje ngoYesu akunto yanto; kuphela uthando olubonakaliswa ngemisebenzi olubalwe njengenene. Noko ke, emehlweni asezulwini, uthando lulodwa lwenza isenzo sibe nentsingiselo. Yonke into eyenzekayo ngenxa yothando, nokuba incinci kangakanani na emehlweni abantu, iya kwamkelwa kwaye ivuzwe nguThixo. Nkqu nokuzingca kwabantu okufihlakeleyo kutyhilwa ngeencwadi zezulu. Zonke izono zokungahoyi abamelwane bethu kunye nokungakhathali kwethu kwizinto ezilindelwe nguMsindisi nazo zibhaliwe apho. Apho unokubona ukuba kaninzi kangakanani na ixesha, ingcinga namandla anikelwa kuSathana ebekufanele ukuba zezikaYesu.

Ilusizi ingxelo eziswa ziingelosi ezulwini. Abantu abaziingqondi, abathi bangabalandeli bakaYesu, baxakeke ngokupheleleyo kukuzuza ubutyebi behlabathi nasekuziyoliseni iziyolo zasemhlabeni. Imali, ixesha namandla kunikelwa ngenxa yembonakalo nolonwabo; yimizuzu embalwa kuphela esinikelwe emthandazweni, ekufundeni iBhayibhile, ekuzithobeni nasekuvumeni izono. USathana usenza intaphane yamaqhinga okuzalisa iingqondo zethu ukuze singacingi kwawona msebenzi esifanele siqhelene nawo. Umkhohlisi omkhulu uzithiyile iinyaniso ezinkulu ezithetha ngombingelelo wokucamagushela kunye nomlamli onamandla onke. Uyazi ukuba yonke into ixhomekeke kubuchule bakhe bokuphambukisa iingqondo kuYesu nakwinyaniso yakhe.

Nabani na oza kuxhamla kulamlo loMsindisi kufuneka angavumeli nantoni na ukuba ibaphazamise emsebenzini wabo: “ekugqibeleleni ubungcwele, esoyika uThixo” ( 2 Korinte 7,1:XNUMX ). Kunokuba achithe iiyure ezixabisekileyo ekuziyoliseni, ekuboniseni imiboniso okanye ekufuneni ingeniso, uzinikela ngomthandazo kufundisiso olunzulu lweLizwi leNyaniso. Kuyimfuneko ukuba abantu bakaThixo bawuqonde ngokucacileyo umbandela wengcwele nomgwebo wophando, ukuze bonke basiqonde ngokobuqu isikhundla nobulungiseleli boMbingeleli wabo Omkhulu oMkhulu. Kungenjalo abasayi kukwazi ukuba nentembelo efunekayo ngeli xesha okanye bathabathe isikhundla uThixo awayebalungiselele sona. Wonke umntu unomphefumlo afuna ukuwusindisa okanye awulahlekele. Onke amatyala asaxoxwa enkundleni kaThixo. Wonke umntu kufuneka aziphendulele phambi komgwebi omkhulu. Hayi indlela ekubaluleke ngayo ukuba ngokufuthi sikhumbule isiganeko esindilisekileyo xa inkundla ihleli phantsi neencwadi zivulwa, xa wonk’ ubani, noDaniyeli, bemele beme kwindawo yabo ekupheleni kwemihla.
