Njengoba isikhonzi sifunda nsuku zonke eSikoleni sikaJesu, sihlale siqaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu umthume ukuba enze izinto zenani laphakade. Labo abafunda kulesi sikole ngeke bafune ukunakwa bona, imfundo noma ikhono labo. Inhloso yakhe kuphela ukuholela izoni kuMsindisi. Ngoba uMesiya udlula konke kangangokuthi umuntu uyazikhohlwa. Labo abaqaphela ukuthi babuthakathaka futhi abafaneleki kangakanani, ukuthi imizamo yabo mincane kangakanani uma iqhathaniswa neyoMsindisi wabo, bahlala bethobekile, bezigxeka, futhi bethembele kuJesu ukuze bathole amandla nokufeza okuthile.

Umuntu onjalo ukhuluma ngegunya elivela phezulu. Inhliziyo yakhe igcwele ububele nothando lukaJesu, futhi ngisho nezinhliziyo zetshe, osekuyisikhathi eside zilukhuni ngokumelene noNkulunkulu, ziyathanjiswa ngenxa yokunxusa okuqotho kwesikhonzi esinjalo. Ngoba badonsela izoni esiphambanweni.

1. Imithandazo yokuncenga isoni

Izikhonzi akufanele zinqikaze uma kuziwa emthandazweni. Ngeshwa, phakathi kwabefundisi abalandela uJesu, umkhuleko usemncane kakhulu. Kunalokho, baqhosha ngokwedlulele. Bakhala kancane kakhulu phakathi kompheme ne-altare ngala mazwi: “NKOSI, hawukela abantu bakho futhi ungavumeli ifa lakho lijabhiswe.” ( Joweli 2,17:XNUMX ) Bakhuluma okuncane kakhulu ngothando nozwela lukaJesu. Nokho uMesiya uhlale emelela izoni. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna ukuhlanganyela naye, kungcono ukwenza izinto ezihambisana nokwenzeka ezulwini!

UJesu wasivulela umnyango wezulu. Ngakho nathi singancenga esihlalweni somusa: Singaphakamisa izandla ezingcwele ngaphandle kwentukuthelo noma ukungabaza ( 1 Thimothewu 2,8:XNUMX ) futhi silethe phambi kukaNkulunkulu abantu esibalwela. Ngokukholwa singase sibone izulu livuleka futhi lapho iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ekhazinyulisiwe, umPristi oMkhulu wensindiso yethu, ikhulumela izoni.

Akwanele ukushumayela kubantu. Kubalulekile ukubathandazela kanye nabo. Ngeke sikwazi ukubasiza inqobo nje uma sibhekene nabo ngokuthula. Badinga uzwelo njengoba uJesu ayenalo futhi badinga ukuzwa uthando Lwakhe.

2. Ukuhlanganyela okuphakade nezulu

Abefundisi bavunyelwe ukuhamba noNkulunkulu njengo-Enoke. Isihloko esingcono kakhulu sengxoxo kubo uthando olungenamkhawulo loMsindisi, indlela engcono kakhulu yokunikela ukwenza ngobuqotho nangokungenabugovu, njengoba kwenza uJesu. Kuphela uma izinhliziyo zabo zigcwele uthando loMsindisi lapho bengakwazi khona ukudiliza ubandlululo ezilalelini zabo. Njengoba abasanda kuguquka bengavamile ukwedlula izinga likamoya labafundisi babo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi bonke abafundisi beBhayibheli babe abantu bakamoya abanobudlelwane obuqhubekayo nezulu.

Igunya laphezulu lodwa elincibilikisa izinhliziyo ezinesono, lenze ziphenduke, futhi liholela kuMesiya. NoLuther, uMelanchthon, uWesley, uWhitefield, nanoma yimuphi omunye umshicileli noma uthisha owayengafinyelela izinhliziyo ezingaka futhi azuze imiphumela emihle kangaka. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wakhuluma ngabo. Abantu bezwa ithonya lamandla aphakeme abazinikele kuwo bengathandi. Labo abazikhohlwayo namuhla futhi bathembele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu ukuba asindise imiphefumulo yabo, ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu, bangathola ukuthi imizamo yabo iyosindisa ukuphila kwabantu abaningi ngendlela emangalisayo.

Ngiyadabuka ukusho ukuthi abefundisi bethu abaningi banegunya elincane kakhulu. UNkulunkulu angathanda ukubapha umusa Wakhe, kodwa bavumela usuku nosuku ludlule, babe nokholo egameni kuphela, bashumayele iqiniso ngombono ngaphandle kwalowo kuphila okuphuma ekuxhumaneni komuntu siqu nezulu futhi amazwi aqonde ngqo enhliziyweni. Ukube nje abafundisi bethu bebengavuka ebuthongweni babo obungokomoya ukuze kuthintwe izindebe zabo ngelahle eliphilayo elivela e-altare laphezulu! Balala belele, kuyilapho eduze kwabo abantu babhubha ebumnyameni nasephutheni.

UNkulunkulu ubiza bonke abayomemezela egameni lakhe umlayezo onesizotha kunawo wonke owake wanikezwa umhlaba: faka iqiniso ekuphileni kwansuku zonke! Uma lokho kwenzeka, abaningi abacasha ngodonga lokungakholwa babeyokholelwa eqinisweni. Ithonya lomKristu weqiniso linjengokukhanya kwelanga okukhanyayo okuxosha ubumnyama nomaphi lapho buvunyelwe ukungena khona. Izingxabano zingaphikiswa, imizamo yokuncenga kanye nezicelo inganikezwa ihlombe elibandayo, izikhalazo ezibukhali kakhulu zinganakwa; kodwa ngokwethembeka kwansuku zonke kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila, uthando olungenabugovu ngabanye lubhalwe ebusweni bomuntu futhi luzwakale ngamagama, ukuzinikela okunjalo nothando kwenza izicelo zicishe zingenakuvinjelwa.

6. Ukufunda iBhayibheli nomthandazo

Izikhonzi zingasindisa imiphefumulo ngokuphumelelayo kuphela uma zifunda iBhayibheli futhi zingamadoda omthandazo. Kungaba yisono ukufundisa iZwi kwabanye ngaphandle kokulitadisha ngokucophelela wena ngokwakho.
