• Umsebenzi Wokutshumayela Uyaphumelela “Amabele Aselungele Ukuvunwa”
    UMbuso KaNkulunkulu Uyabusa!

    • 1, 2. (a) Kungani abafundi bedidekile? (b) UJesu ukhuluma ngakuphi ukuvuna?

      ABAFUNDI badidekile. UJesu ubatshele wathi: “Ngithi vulani amehlo enu likhangele amasimu! Amabele aselungele ukuvunwa.” Nxa bevusa amehlo bekhangela lapho uJesu akhombele khona, abakubonayo ngamasimu alebhali eluhlaza esanda kumila. Mhlawumbe bayazibuza ukuthi, ‘Kuvunwani? Phela kusasele izinyanga ukuthi kufike isikhathi sokuvuna.’​—Joh. 4:35.

      2 Kodwa uJesu kakhulumi ngokuvuna abakujayeleyo. Usebenzisa ithuba leli ukuthi afundise abafundi bakhe izifundo ezimbili eziqakathekileyo mayelana lokuvuna okungokomfanekiso, okutsho ukuvunwa kwabantu. Yiziphi izifundo zakhona? Ukuze sithole impendulo, ake siyikhangelisise indaba le.

      Ukubizelwa Umsebenzi Lesithembiso Sokujabula

       3. (a) Kuyini okungabe kwenza ukuthi uJesu athi: “Amabele asemhlophe aselungele ukuvunwa”? (Khangela amabala angaphansi.) (b) UJesu wawacacisa njani amazwi akhe?

      3 Kwasekuzaphela umnyaka ka-30 C.E. lapho uJesu ekhuluma labafundi bakhe beseduze kweSikhari, umuzi waseSamariya. Ngesikhathi abafundi bakhe bengena emzini lo, uJesu wasala ehlezi emthonjeni lapho atshumayeza khona owesifazane othile, owahle wabona ukuthi lokho ayemfundisa khona kwakuqakathekile. Abafundi bathi bephenduka, owesifazane wahle wabuyela eSikhari esiyatshela omakhelwane bakhe ngezinto ezimangalisayo ayesezifundile. Umbiko wakhe wabenza baba lelukuluku lokuzizwela ngezabo, njalo omakhelwane bakhe abanengi bagijima baya emthonjeni ukuze bayebona uJesu. Kungenzeka ukuthi ngalesosikhathi, uJesu wathi ekhangele ngale kwamasimu wabona ixuku lamaSamariya lithutsha, wasesithi: ‘Khangelani amasimu! Amabele aselungele ukuvunwa.’a Ukuze acacise ukuthi wayekhuluma ngokuvuna okungokomfanekiso hatshi abakujayeleyo, waqhubeka wathi: ‘Umvuni usebuthela amabele ekuphileni kwaphakade.’​—Joh. 4:5-30, 36.

       4. (a) UJesu wafundisa ziphi izifundo ezimbili eziphathelane lokuvuna? (b) Yiphi imibuzo esizayihlola?

      4 Yiziphi izifundo ezimbili eziqakathekileyo mayelana lokuvuna okungokomfanekiso ezafundiswa nguJesu? Esokuqala, umsebenzi kumele wenziwe masinyane. Lapho uJesu esithi ‘amasimu aselungele ukuvunwa,’ wayetshela abalandeli bakhe ukuthi kwasekumele kusetshenzwe. Ukuze kucace ukuthi umsebenzi kwakumele wenziwe masinya kangakanani, uJesu waphinda wathi: “Umvuni uvele usehle ezuza iholo lakhe.” Kuliqiniso ukuthi ukuvuna kwasekuvele sekuqalisile, yikho kwakungasamelanga batshone bechitha isikhathi. Esesibili, izisebenzi ziyajabula. UJesu wathi abahlanyelayo labavunayo ‘bajabula ndawonye.’ (Joh. 4:35b, 36) Abalandeli bakhe babezajabula kakhulu ngokusebenza ngomphefumulo wonke ekuvuneni, njengoba nje kumele ukuthi uJesu laye wajabula lapho ebona ‘amaSamariya amanengi ekholwa kuye.’ (Joh. 4:39-42) Indaba le eyenzakala ngekhulu lokuqala iqakatheke kakhulu kithi ngoba ifanana lalokho okwenzakala lamuhla emsebenzini wokuvuna okungokumfanekiso okukhulu kulakho konke. Ukuvuna lokhu kwaqalisa nini? Ngobani abavunayo? Umsebenzi lo uphumelele kangakanani?
