Umfelokazi lo uyazidubekela, kungenzakala uthwala nzima ukuthenga izinto azidingayo empilweni. Lanxa kunjalo, uqonda kwelinye lamabhokisi eminikelo afike aphosele okuzinhlamvu kwemali okubili okungatsho lutho, okungenzakala akwenzi lamsindo nxa ekuphosela. UJesu uyakwazi ukuthi uphosele amalephuthoni amabili, okuzinhlamvu kwemali okuncane kulazo zonke. Imali le kayithengi ngitsho lentaka eyodwa, engeyinye yezinyoni ezitshiphe kulazo zonke ezithengiswayo. Okwenziwa ngumfelokazi kuyamthinta kakhulu uJesu, yikho ubiza abafundi bakhe abesesithi kubo: “Umfelokazi lo ongumyanga unikele okwedlula bonke abanye.” Uchasisa esithi: “Bonke [ikakhulu abanothileyo] bacuphe enothweni yabo, kodwa yena lanxa eswela, ufake konke abelakho, konke obekumele aphile ngakho.” (Mak. 12:43, 44) Ngesikhathi umfelokazi lo othembekileyo ephosela okuyimadlana kokucina ayelakho, wayetshengisa ukuthi uthemba uJehova ukuthi uzamnakekela.—Hubo. 26:3. w21.04 6 ¶17-18

Ngesikhathi uJesu esemhlabeni waqhubeka etshumayela elethemba lokuthi abantu bazamlalela, njalo ufuna labalandeli bakhe benze njalo. (Joh. 4:35, 36) Ngesikhathi abafundi bakhe belaye babekhuthele emsebenzini wokutshumayela. (Luk. 10:1, 5-11, 17) Kodwa ngemva kokubotshwa lokubulawa kwakhe, kwadlula isikhatshana bengasakutshisekeli ukutshumayela. (Joh. 16:32) Esevusiwe, wabakhuthaza ukuthi baqakathekise umsebenzi wokutshumayela. Wathi esebuyele ezulwini, batshiseka okuzwayo okokuthi izitha zabo zakhonona zisitsho amazwi asembhalweni walamuhla. UJesu wayeqondisa umsebenzi wokutshumayela owawusenziwa ngamaKhristu akuqala futhi uJehova wawabusisa ngoba banengi abalalelayo. Ngokwesibonelo, ngePhentekhosti ka-33 C.E., kwabhabhathizwa abantu abangaba ngu-3 000. (ImiSeb. 2:41) Lenani labafundi laqhubeka lisanda kakhulu. (ImiSeb. 6:7) Kodwa uJesu wayethe ezinsukwini zokucina abantu abanengi okumangalisayo babezalalela izindaba ezinhle.—Joh. 14:12; ImiSeb. 1:8. w21.05 14 ¶1-2

Uyasikhumbula yini isikhathi lapho owananzelela khona ukuthi usulitholile iqiniso? Wawucabanga ukuthi bonke abantu bazakwamukela lokho osukukholwa. Wawungathandabuzi ukuthi lokho okutshiwo liBhayibhili kuzabanceda bathokoze empilweni khathesi futhi babe lethemba lokuthola ukuphila okungapheliyo. (Hubo. 119:105) Yikho watshela bonke abangane bakho lezihlobo zakho ngezinto osuzifundile. Kodwa wamangala lapho abanengi bengakwamukeli lokho owawubatshela khona. Kakumelanga kusimangalise ukuthi abanye kabasilaleli nxa sibatshumayeza. Ngesikhathi uJesu esemhlabeni, abanengi babengamamukeli lanxa wayesenza izimanga ezazitshengisa ukuthi usekelwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngokwesibonelo, wavusa uLazaro, futhi lesi kwakuyisimanga labo ababemphikisa ababengeke basiphike. Lanxa kunjalo, abakhokheli abangamaJuda babengakholwa ukuthi unguMesiya. Baze bafuna lokumbulala yena loLazaro.—Joh. 11:47, 48, 53; 12:9-11. w21.05 2 ¶1-2
