USUYITHOBILE LE NTABA SEKUDE KWENELE
Ngenkathi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli behamba ehlane beya eZweni Lesithembiso, bachitha iminyaka engama-40. Ezindaweni ezithile bachitha isikhathi eside futhi ngokuvamile bangena enkingeni ngenxa yokuziphatha kwabo. Kwesinye isikhathi, baphambuka ngokungahambisani noNkulunkulu nomprofethi wakhe. KuDut. 2, bahlala eduze kwentaba iSeyiri, izinsuku eziningi; babeneliseka lapho, kepha lelo kwakungelona iZwe Lesithembiso. Kufana nokuthi wamukela uJesu Kristu njengoMsindisi neNkosi futhi uphile impilo yakho ngendlela othanda ngayo. Ukulandela isiko labantu esikhundleni sezwi likaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu watshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuDut. 2: 3, “Nizungeze le ntaba isikhathi esanele, jikani niye ngasenyakatho.” Le yinto okufanele ucabange ngayo, ngoba ungazithola ubambeke esikhathini esedlule. Ungadinga ukujika ekuphuzeni ubisi uye ekudleni inyama eqinile. Abanye bahlala bengabantwana abangamaKristu, abangakaze bakhule ngenxa yamasiko abantu.
Ngezinsuku zikaJohane uMbhapathizi, washumayela umbhaphathizo wokuphenduka kube ngukuthethelelwa kwesono, (Luka 3: 3). Wayenabafundi ababemlandela futhi bemlalela. Wakhuza abantu nabaholi babo benkolo. Wabatshela ukuthi bashintshe izindlela zabo nokuthi wayelungisa kuphela indlela yothile omkhulu kunaye. Ngelinye ilanga uJesu wayedlula, uJohane uMbhapathizi wambona wathi: “Bheka iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.” Abafundi ababili bakaJohane abamuzwa esho njalo, bamshiya masinyane uJohane balandela uJesu (Johane 1:37). UJesu waphenduka, wababona, bambuza ukuthi uhlala ngaphi. Wabamema ngomusa ukuba beze bazomvakashela futhi bahlala naye ngalolo suku. Kwazi bani okumele ngabe ubatshele khona. Awusoze wafana ngokweqiniso ngemuva kokuba ubenoJesu, ngaphandle kokuthi ulahlekile. NgokweBhayibheli omunye wamadoda amabili ashiya uJohane uMbhabhadisi walandela uJesu kwakunguAndreya. Ngenkathi u-Andrew eshiya uJohane uMbhapathizi futhi elandela uJesu akazange abuyele kuJohane. UJohane wayedlula umprofethi, wayeshumayela amazwi aphilayo futhi enombiko omuhle. Wabhabhadisa uJesu. Kodwa futhi wafakaza ngoJesu Kristu. Wathi, uJesu uzokwanda nami ngizokwehla. Lesi sitatimende sikaJohn, esabeka ukukholelwa okujulile ku-Andrew sasithi, "Le yiWundlu likaNkulunkulu." U-Andrew walandela iWundlu likaNkulunkulu futhi akazange abuyele esambulweni sakudala, sikaJohane; ngoba kwase kugcwalisiwe. UJohn uzobe encipha. Abaningi abakuqapheli empilweni yabo yokomoya namuhla futhi bayadamba.
Namuhla, abantu abaningi, kufaka phakathi abaningi abamemezele ukwamukela uJesu Kristu, bavalelwe ekuhlengweni okungaphelele noma emasikweni nasezimfundisweni zabantu. Amabandla amaningi akholelwa ekusindisweni kodwa acabanga ukuthi ukwelashwa kwakungeyona ingxenye yesithembiso, futhi kwakudlulile. Bashumayela insindiso kepha bakushiya ngaphandle ukuphiliswa komzimba. UJesu wakhokhela ukugula nezifo zethu ngemivimbo yakhe (u-Isaya 53: 5 no-1st UPetru 2:24) wakhokhela isono sethu ngegazi lakhe. Uma ukuhlelo elithile, yenza njengo-Andrew, landela isambulo lapho ushunyayelwe khona ngokuphelele futhi ungabheki emuva. KuzEnzo 19: 1-7, uzofunda ngalabo ababambelela ebhaphathizweni lokuphenduka nguJohane; futhi bazishaya indiva izimfundiso zikaKristu noma abakaze bafundiswe ngobhapathizo olufanele, olukuJesu Kristu kuphela. Ubhapathizo lukaJohane lungamanzi kuphela, kepha ubhapathizo kuJesu Kristu lungoMoya oNgcwele nomlilo. Ngenkathi uPaul ebashumayeza babebhaphathizwa kabusha. Babethobeke ngokwanele ukwamukela iqiniso lesambulo esisha esikuJesu Kristu. Abaningi namuhla babambeke kakhulu enkolweni yabo futhi ngeke babekezelele enye imfundiso.
Umfowethu oyigugu wake wangitshela eminyakeni yokuqala yamashumi ayisikhombisa lapho ubhaphathizo loMoya oNgcwele lwethulwa kumaKrestu amaningi asemasha; ukuthi uzophila futhi afe njengeWeseli lamaWeseli. Akazange aqhubeke nenkulumo yobhapathizo loMoya oNgcwele. AmaKrestu amaningi lapho efundiswa kahle ngokubhabhadiswa ahamba ayobhabhathizwa kabusha. KuMat 28, uJesu watshela umfundi wakhe ukuthi ahambe emhlabeni ashumayele ivangeli futhi abhabhadise abantu eGameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele. Bonke abaphostoli babhaphathiza egameni likaJesu Kristu (Izenzo 2:38), (Izenzo 8:16), (Izenzo 10:48) kanye (NezEnzo 19: 5). ISonto LamaRoma Katolika laletha ukudideka kokubhabhadiswa koNkulunkulu abathathu noma imfundiso kathathu; nawo wonke amaProthestani namanye amaPentecostal balikopisha. Abalandeli bakaJohane uMbhapathizi e-Efesu, babhapathizwa kabusha lapho belalela uPawulu. IGAMA lokubhabhadiswa IGAMA, iNdodana yomuntu yeza nalo. Lelo yiGama likaYise. KuJohane 5:43, uJesu wathi, "Ngize egameni likaBaba." Lelo Gama nguJESU KRISTU. UJesu wathi, ebhaphathiza kubo EGAMENI hhayi AMAGAMA. Futhi lelo Gama nguJesu Kristu. Abaphostoli abanikezwa imiyalo ubuso nobuso, bezwa futhi baqonda ukufundiswa futhi babhapathizwa eGameni LIKAJESU KRISTU ngokulalela.
UJesu Kristu wahlangana noPawulu endleleni eya eDamaseku, futhi wezwa izwi negama likaNkulunkulu, "NGINGUJESU KRISTU OPHIKISELAYO." UPawulu akakaze amlalele uNkulunkulu, wabhapathiza futhi waphinde wabhapathiza abanye abantu eGameni likaJesu Kristu ngendlela iNkosi eyale ngayo abaphostoli. Kwabe sekufika abaphathi bezenkolo ababengekho lapho uJesu ekhuluma nabaphostoli ngokubhabhadiswa, kepha bakutshela ukuthi abaphostoli babeshaye phansi futhi isitayela sikathathu emunye sasiyiso esifanele UJesu akazange azethule kubo njengoba enza kuPawulu futhi bacabanga ukuthi uPawulu wenza iphutha lapho ebhapathizwa. Uma uzithola ubhapathiza abantu noma awuzange ubhapathizwe ngendlela abaphostoli abenza ngayo; khona-ke lolo bhapathizo ludinga ukuphindwa ngokunembile njengoba kwenza abaphostoli. Landela iNkosi uJesu Kristu njengoba kwenza u-Andrew bese ushiya isambulo sakudala sehlelo lakho uma lingahambisani nabaphostoli. Ngaphandle kokuthi unezwi elivela kuNkulunkulu, ukuthi abaphostoli babenephutha. Uma ungabaza iya kuBaba wethu umbuze. Sonke singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu hhayi abazukulu.
Abaningi namuhla basabambelele ezambulweni ezaveza amaMethodist, Episcopal, Pentecostal, Baptist, Evangelicals, amasonto amaRoma Katolika; ngisho ne-Scripture Union: Kepha khohlwa ukuthi ekugcineni kwalesi sikhathi ububi nokuza okufishane kwayo yonke iminyaka eyisikhombisa yebandla (IsAm. 2 no-3) kumele kugwenywe kepha kulangazelelwe ukuthola umvuzo. Ngalesi sikhathi inhloso yabo bonke abantu abathi uJesu Kristu, amaqembu nemindeni kufanele ifane no-Andrew, ifune okuphakade futhi ingaphinde ibuyele kokwedlule, indoda iguqule isiko ngezingubo zenkolo. Isambulo nomgomo womKrestu ukusindiswa kwabalahlekile, ukukhululwa kwalabo ababanjwe ngusathane kanye nokuza kweNkosi kungekudala emoyeni. Kuzoba ngokuzumayo, ngehora ongalicabangi. Yenza njengo-Andrew ushiye uJohane uMbhapathizi bese ulandela uJesu Kristu. U-Andrew walibona ihora lokuhanjelwa kukaJesu Kristu futhi walandela iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, eshiya uMbhaptizi owayesekhombe kwiWundlu, uMsindisi. Namuhla, abaningi, noma ngabe ngesambulo esivela kuNkulunkulu bazobambelela ezimfundisweni zehlelo labo ezingahlobene nesiqondiso uNkulunkulu asenzayo. U-Andrew wavele wabheka phezulu waletha umfowabo uPeter kuMesiya. Watshela umfowabo ukuthi simtholile uMesiya. Ubuza kuthiwani ngoJohane uMbhapathizi? Umyalezo wakhe wawenziwe, wayekhombe uNkosi. Labo abanesambulo ezinhliziyweni zabo njengo-Andrew, bazothinteka ngokwambulwa kukaJesu Kristu, bese belahla imikhuba yabo namasiko abantu abusa amabandla amaningi namuhla. Isambulo besingesihle ku-Andrew futhi kufanele kube ngesakho kuwe; kodwa imiphumela izofana? Ungabuyeli emuva. Yenza njengo-Andrew, lapho isambulo sikushaya, futhi uthola futhi wamukele iWundlu likaNkulunkulu. Usuyizungezile le ntaba yehlelo isikhathi esanele, phenduka njengo-Andrew ulandele uJesu Kristu aye endaweni yakhe efihlekile, uhlale naye usuku lonke. Amehlo akho azovuleka futhi ngeke uphinde ufane. Funda leli gama ngokukhuthala nangokwethembeka futhi uzokuba nesiphetho esifanayo, sokuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi noNkulunkulu, (Johane 20:28). Uzolazi IGAMA.
