“MLALELENI”

7. NgokukaMathewu 17:1-5, kunini lapho uJehova akhuluma khona esezulwini, futhi yini ayisho?

⁷ Funda uMathewu 17:1-5. Isenzakalo sesibili lapho uJehova akhuluma khona esezulwini kwakuyilapho uJesu ‘eguqulwa isimo.’ UJesu wacela uPetru, uJakobe noJohane ukuba bamphelezele aye entabeni ephakeme. Ngesikhathi belapho, babona umbono omangalisayo. Ubuso bukaJesu bakhanya nezingubo zakhe zakhazimula. Kwabonakala uMose no-Eliya, base beqala ukukhuluma noJesu ngokufa nokuvuswa kwakhe. Nakuba laba baphostoli abathathu “babozela,” baphaphama lapho bebona lo mbono omangalisayo. (Luka 9:29-32) Ngemva kwalokho, ifu elikhanyayo labemboza, base bezwa izwi livela efwini—izwi likaNkulunkulu! Ngendlela enza ngayo ngesikhathi uJesu ebhapathizwa, uJehova wabonisa ukuthi uyayamukela futhi uyayithanda iNdodana yakhe ngokuthi athi: “Lo yiNdodana yami, ethandekayo, engiyamukele.” Kodwa kulokhu uJehova wenezela la mazwi: “Mlaleleni.”

9. Yisiphi iseluleko esiwusizo uJesu asinika abafundi bakhe?

⁹ “Mlaleleni.” UJehova wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi ufuna siwalalele amazwi eNdodana yakhe. Yini uJesu ayisho ngesikhathi esemhlabeni? Washo izinto eziningi okubalulekile ukuba sizilalele! Ngokwesibonelo, ngothando wafundisa abalandeli bakhe ukuba bashumayele izindaba ezinhle futhi ngokuphindaphindiwe wabakhumbuza ukuba bahlale belindile. (Math. 24:42; 28:19, 20) Wabanxusa ukuba bazikhandle, wabakhuthaza nokuba bangapheli amandla. (Luka 13:24) UJesu wagcizelela isidingo sokuba abafundi bakhe bathandane, bahlale benobunye futhi bagcine imiyalo yakhe. (Joh. 15:10, 12, 13) Wanika abafundi bakhe iseluleko esiwusizo ngempela! Leso seluleko sisasebenza nanamuhla ngendlela esasisebenza ngayo ngesikhathi sikaJesu.
