Ngesikhathi abantu besalele, isitha sakhe safika sahlwanyela ukhula phakathi kukakolweni, sahamba.

 5. Ubani isitha emfanekisweni, futhi ukhula lumelela obani?

⁵ Ubani isitha, futhi ukhula lumelela obani? UJesu usitshela ukuthi isitha “uDeveli.” Ukhula luchazwa ngokuthi “abantwana bomubi.” (Math. 13:25, 38, 39) Ngomqondo ongokoqobo, ukhula uJesu ayekhuluma ngalo cishe kwakuwuhlobo oluthile lotshani okuthiwa i-bearded darnel. Lobu tshani obunobuthi bucishe bufane nokolweni lapho busebuncane. Yeka ukuthi buwafanekisela kahle kanjani amaKristu-mbumbulu athi angabantwana boMbuso kodwa ebe engatheli izithelo ezinhle! La maKristu angabazenzisi azibiza ngabalandeli bakaKristu, empeleni ayingxenye ‘yenzalo’ kaSathane uDeveli.—Gen. 3:15.

 6. Lwaqala nini ukuvela ukhula, futhi abantu ‘babelele’ ngamuphi umqondo ngaleso sikhathi?

⁶ Avela nini la maKristu anjengokhula? UJesu uthi: “Ngesikhathi abantu besalele.” (Math. 13:25) Kwenzeka nini lokhu? Impendulo siyithola emazwini umphostoli uPawulu awabhalela abadala base-Efesu: “Ngiyazi ukuthi ngemva kokuhamba kwami kuzongena izimpisi ezicindezelayo phakathi kwenu futhi ngeke ziwuphathe ngozwela umhlambi, naphakathi kwenu ngokwenu kuzovela amadoda, akhulume izinto ezisontekile ukuze amonyule abafundi ukuba bawalandele.” (IzE. 20:29, 30) Waqhubeka wakhuthaza labo badala ukuba bahlale bephapheme ngokomoya. Ngemva kokuba abaphostoli ‘ababenjengento evimbela’ ukuhlubuka, sebeqale ukulala ekufeni, amaKristu amaningi alala ngokomoya. (Funda eyesi-2 Thesalonika 2:3, 6-8.) Yilapho-ke kwaqala khona ukuhlubuka okukhulu.

 7. Ingabe omunye ukolweni waphenduka ukhula? Chaza.

⁷ UJesu akazange athi ukolweni wawuyoba ukhula kodwa wathi ukhula lwaluhlwanyelwe phakathi kukakolweni. Ngakho, lo mfanekiso awukhulumi ngamaKristu eqiniso ahlubukayo eqinisweni. Kunalokho, ubhekisela emzamweni kaSathane wangamabomu wokonakalisa ibandla lobuKristu ngokungenisa abantu ababi kulo. Ngesikhathi umphostoli wokugcina, uJohane, esegugile, lokhu kuhlubuka kwase kubonakala ngokucacile.—2 Pet. 2:1-3; 1 Joh. 2:18.
