Ukuzalwa Okusha—Iyini Injongo Yakho?
ABANTU abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi umuntu kufanele azalwe kabusha ukuze amukele ukusindiswa kwaphakade. Kodwa, phawula lokho okwashiwo uJesu ngokwakhe ngokuphathelene nenjongo yokuzalwa kabusha. Wathi: “Ngaphandle kokuba umuntu aphinde azalwe, akanakuwubona umbuso kaNkulunkulu.” (Johane 3:3) Ngakho-ke, umuntu kufanele azalwe kabusha ukuze angene eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, hhayi ukuze athole insindiso. Abanye bangase bathi, ‘Kodwa ingabe lezi zinkulumo ezimbili—ukungena eMbusweni nokuthola insindiso—azibhekiseli emvuzweni ofanayo?’ Cha, akunjalo. Ukuze siqonde umahluko, ake siqale sicabangele incazelo yenkulumo ethi “umbuso kaNkulunkulu.”
Umbuso uwuhlobo oluthile lukahulumeni. Ngakho-ke, inkulumo ethi “umbuso kaNkulunkulu” isho “uhulumeni kaNkulunkulu.” IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi uJesu Kristu, “indodana yomuntu,” uyiNkosi yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu nokuthi unabanye abantu abusa nabo. (Daniyeli 7:1, 13, 14; Mathewu 26:63, 64) Ngaphezu kwalokho, umbono owanikwa umphostoli uJohane wembula ukuthi abayobusa noKristu bangabantu abakhethwe “kuzo zonke izinhlanga nezilimi nabantu nezizwe” futhi “bayobusa njengamakhosi phezu komhlaba.” (IsAmbulo 5:9, 10; 20:6) IZwi likaNkulunkulu lembula nokuthi labo abayobusa njengamakhosi bakha ‘umhlambi omncane’ wabantu abangu-144 000 “abathengwé emhlabeni.”—Luka 12:32; IsAmbulo 14:1, 3.
Likuphi ikomkhulu lalo Mbuso kaNkulunkulu? “Umbuso kaNkulunkulu” ubizwa nangokuthi “umbuso wamazulu,” okubonisa ukuthi uJesu namakhosi abusa nawo babusa besezulwini. (Luka 8:10; Mathewu 13:11) Ngakho, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu uwuhulumeni wasezulwini owakhiwa uJesu Kristu neqembu lababusi abakanye naye abakhethwe esintwini.
Pho-ke, uJesu wayesho ukuthini lapho ethi umuntu kumelwe azalwe kabusha ukuze “angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu”? Wayesho ukuthi kudingeka umuntu azalwe kabusha ukuze abuse kanye noKristu ezulwini. Uma sikubeka kalula, injongo yokuzalwa okusha iwukulungiselela iqembu elilinganiselwe labantu ukuba liyobusa ezulwini.
Kuze kube manje, sesibonile ukuthi ukuzalwa okusha kubaluleke kakhulu, kuvela kuNkulunkulu, futhi kulungiselela iqembu elithile labantu ukuba liyobusa ezulwini. Kodwa kwenzeka kanjani ngempela ukuzalwa okusha?
