³ “INkosi uJesu, ngalobobusuku akhashelwa ngabo wathabatha isinkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wathi: Lokhu kungumzimba wami ohleshulelwe nina; lokhu kwenzeni ukuba ningikhumbule.

“Lokhu Kungumzimba Wami”

 5, 6. (a) Yini uJesu ayenza ngesinkwa? (b) Luhlobo luni lwesinkwa alusebenzisa?

⁵ Siye safunda ngalokho uPawulu “akwamukela eNkosini” ngokuphathelene neSikhumbuzo. Futhi kunokulandisa kwababhali abathathu bamaVangeli, omunye wabo owayekhona lapho uJesu emisa lomkhosi. (1 Korinte 11:23; Mathewu 26:26-29, qhathanisa neNW; Marku 14:22-25; Luka 22:19, 20) Lokhu kulandisa kuthi uJesu waqala ngokuthatha isinkwa, wathandaza, wayesesihlephula wasaba. Sasiyini lesosinkwa? Ngokomfanekiso, yini esetshenziswayo namuhla? Sisho ukuthini noma simelelani?

⁶ Okwakukhona kwakuyizinto ezazisale esidlweni sePhasika lamaJuda, enye iyisinkwa esingenamvubelo, uMose asibiza ngokuthi “isinkwa esingenamvubelo . . . , isinkwa senhlupheko.” (Duteronomi 16:3; Eksodusi 12:8) Lesinkwa sasenziwe ngofulawa kakolweni ngaphandle kokusebenzisa imvubelo, usawoti, noma izinongo. Njengoba sasingenamvubelo (ngesiHeberu, mats·tsahʹ), sasiyisicaba futhi siqinile; kwakufanele sihleshulwe sibe izingcezu ezingangena emlonyeni.—Mathewu 6:41; 8:6; IzEnzo 27:35.

 7. OFakazi BakaJehova basebenzisani emelela isinkwa ngeSikhumbuzo?

⁷ UJesu wasebenzisa isinkwa esingenamvubelo eSidlweni SeNkosi Sakusihlwa, ngakho oFakazi BakaJehova namuhla benza okufanayo. Amamatzo avamile amaJuda afeza lenjongo uma engenziwanga ngezithako ezenezelwe, njengomthombo, uhanyanisi, noma amaqanda. (Amamatzo analezozithako abengeke neze afanelane nencazelo ethi “isinkwa senhlupheko.”) Noma abadala bebandla bangase bacele othile ukuba enze isinkwa esingenamvubelo ngenhlama kafulawa kakolweni namanzi. Uma ufulawa kakolweni ungatholakali, isinkwa esingenamvubelo singenziwa ngofulawa webhali, ilayisi, ummbila, noma okunye okusanhlamvu. Inhlama yenziwa isicaba bese ibhakwa ngesitsha esifakwe kancane amafutha.

 8. Kungani isinkwa esingenamvubelo siyisifanekiselo esifanelekile, futhi ukusidla kubonisani? (Heberu 10:5-7; 1 Petru 4:1)

⁸ Isinkwa esinjalo siyafaneleka ngoba asinayo imvubelo (imbiliso), esetshenziswa iBhayibheli ekumeleleni ukonakala noma isono. UPawulu weluleka ngokuqondene nomuntu oziphethe kabi ebandleni: ‘Imvubelo encane ibilisa inhlama yonke. Khiphani imvubelo endala, ukuze ningabi namvubelo. UKristu iphasika lethu wenziwe umhlatshelo. Masigcine lomkhosi, hhayi ngemvubelo yokushinga neyobubi, kodwa ngesinkwa esingenamvubelo sobuqotho neseqiniso.’ (1 Korinte 5:6-8; qhathanisa noMathewu 13:33; 16:6, 12.) Isinkwa esingenamvubelo siwuphawu olufanelekayo lomzimba kaJesu wobuntu, ngoba ‘wayengcwele, engenacala, engenabala, ehlukanisiwe nezoni.’ (Heberu 7:26) UJesu wayekhona lapho ngomzimba wakhe wobuntu ophelele lapho ethi kubaphostoli: “Thathani lokhu [isinkwa] nidle, kusho umzimba wami.” (Mathewu 26:26, A New Translation of the Bible, kaJames Moffatt) Ukudla isinkwa kusho ukuthi umuntu uyakholelwa enzuzweni yomhlatshelo kaJesu awenza ngenxa yakhe futhi uyawamukela. Nokho, kuhileleke okwengeziwe.
