9, 10. (a) Izimo zayishintshela kanjani indodana esaphazayo, futhi yasabela kanjani? (b) Bonisa ukuthi abanye namuhla abalahla ukukhulekela kweqiniso baba kanjani sesimweni esinzima njengesendodana esaphazayo.

⁹ “Lapho isisebenzise konke, kwaba khona indlala enzima kulo lonke lelozwe, futhi yaqala ukuswela. Yaze ngisho yahamba yazihlanganisa nesinye sezakhamuzi zalelozwe, futhi sayithumela emadlelweni aso ukuba yeluse izingulube. Futhi yayivame ukufisa ukusuthiswa imidumba yamakharobhu eyayidliwa izingulube, futhi akekho owayeyinika utho.”—Luka 15:14-16.

11. Yini eyasenza saba sibi nakakhulu isimo esibucayi sendodana esaphazayo, futhi abathile namuhla baye bathola kanjani ukuthi izinto eziyengayo zezwe ‘ziyinkohliso eyize’?

¹¹ Isimo esibucayi sendodana esaphazayo saba sibi nakakhulu ngenxa yokuthi “akekho owayeyinika utho.” Base beshonephi abangane bayo abasha? Njengoba yayingasenamali, kwase kunjengokungathi ‘bayayizonda.’ (IzAga 14:20) Ngokufanayo, abaningi namuhla abaphumayo okholweni bathola ukuthi izinto eziyengayo nemibono yaleli lizwe ‘ziyinkohliso eyize.’ (Kolose 2:8) “Ngabhekana nobuhlungu obukhulu benhliziyo njengoba ngangingenaso isiqondiso sikaJehova,” kusho owesifazane osemusha owashiya inhlangano kaNkulunkulu isikhathi esithile. “Ngazama ukuzifanisa nezwe, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ngangingafani ngempela nabanye, bangikhipha inyumbazane. Ngazizwa sengathi ngiyingane elahlekile, ngidinga ubaba ozongiqondisa. Yilapho engaqaphela khona ukuthi ngiyamdinga uJehova. Angiphindanga ngafuna ukuziphilela ngaphandle kwakhe.” Indodana esaphazayo yomfanekiso kaJesu yaqaphela okufanayo.
