1, 2. (a) Isiphi isimemo esikhangayo esidluliselwa kubo bonke abafuna ukuqhuba ukukhulekela okumsulwa? (b) Yini engabeka ingokomoya lethu engozini enkulu?

NJENGABAFUNDI bakaJesu, sisazi kahle lesi simemo sakhe esikhangayo: “Wozani kimi, nina nonke enikhandlekayo nenisindwayo, ngizonenza niqabuleke. . . . Ngoba ijoka lami ngelomusa nomthwalo wami ulula.” (Mathewu 11:28-30) AmaKristu futhi anikwa “izinkathi zokuqabuleka . . . zivela ebusweni bukaJehova.” (IzEnzo 3:19) Ngokuqinisekile uye wazizwela imiphumela eqabulayo yokufunda amaqiniso eBhayibheli, yokuba nethemba eliqhakazile ngekusasa, neyokusebenzisa izimiso zikaJehova ekuphileni kwakho.

² Nokho, abanye babakhulekeli bakaJehova babhekana neziqubu zokukhathala ngokomzwelo. Kokunye lezi zikhathi zokudangala ziba mfushane. Kwezinye izimo umuzwa wokukhathala ungase uqhubeke isikhathi eside. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abanye bangase babe nomuzwa wokuthi izibopho zabo zobuKristu seziwumthwalo ocindezelayo kunokuba zibe umthwalo oqabulayo njengoba uJesu athembisa. Imizwa enjalo eqeda amandla ingaba yingozi enkulu ebuhlotsheni bomKristu noJehova.

UbuKristu Abucindezeli

 5. Yini engase ibonakale iphikisana mayelana nokuba ngumfundi ongumKristu?

⁵ Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ukuba ngumKristu kudinga ukuzikhandla ngamandla. (Luka 13:24) UJesu waze wathi: “Noma ngubani ongathwali isigxobo sakhe sokuhlushwa angilandele, akakwazi ukuba ngumfundi wami.” (Luka 14:27) La mazwi angase azwakale ephikisana namazwi kaJesu athi umthwalo wakhe ulula futhi uyaqabula, kodwa empeleni awaphikisani.

 6, 7. Kungani sithi indlela yethu yokukhulekela ayikhathazi?

⁶ Nakuba kuwukhathaza umzimba, ukuzikhandla ngamandla nokusebenza kanzima kunganelisa futhi kuqabule lapho kwenzelwa injongo enhle. (UmShumayeli 3:13, 22) Futhi iyiphi nje injongo engaba yinhle ukudlula ukuhlanganyela amaqiniso amahle eBhayibheli nomakhelwane bethu? Futhi ukushikashikeka kwethu ukuze siphile ngezindinganiso zikaNkulunkulu eziphakeme zokuziphatha kuba ubala uma kuqhathaniswa nezinzuzo esizitholayo. (IzAga 2:10-20) Ngisho nalapho sishushiswa, sikubheka njengelungelo ukuhlupheka ngenxa yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu.—1 Petru 4:14.

⁷ Umthwalo kaJesu uyaqabula ngempela, ikakhulu lapho uqhathaniswa nobumnyama obungokomoya balabo abaqhubeka besejokeni lenkolo yamanga. UNkulunkulu uyasithanda, usibonisa isisa, futhi akafuni okungaphezu kwamandla ethu. “Imiyalo [kaJehova] ayiwona umthwalo.” (1 Johane 5:3) UbuKristu beqiniso, obuvezwe emiBhalweni, abucindezeli. Kusobala ukuthi indlela yethu yokukhulekela ayikubangeli ukukhathala nokudangala.
