Ngizinikele ngokugcwele: IsingenisoIsampula

Sixoxa Kanjani NgeBhayibheli?

Kulolu hambo lokuba abalandeli bakaJesu abazinikele ngokugcwele, sisendleleni yokuba njengoJesu ngenxa yabanye. UJesu wasibonisa indlela yokuphila eyayihlale iqondiswe ekukhonzeni abanye. Njengabalandeli Bakhe, sinikezwe umsebenzi wokwenza okufanayo. Yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu kithi ukuthi singagcini nje ngokwazi futhi siphile amazwi kaJesu, kodwa futhi sabelane ngawo nabanye.

Indinyana yombhalo abaningi abayithole iwusizo ekuphenduleni lowo mbuzo ivela encwadini kaPawulu eya kuThimothewu owayengumfundi. UThimothewu wayengumholi osemusha owayephethe ibandla lamaKristu e-Efesu. Njengomlandeli kaKristu, uThimothewu wayazi ukuthi wayebizwe nguNkulunkulu ukuze ahlanganyele ukuhlakanipha kwemiBhalo nabantu ababemzungezile. 

Ukuze amsize enze lokho, uPawulu wamkhuthaza ukuba abe yisibonelo ngendlela akhuluma ngayo, enza ngayo, athanda futhi aphila ngayo. Enye indlela ephumelelayo yokuhlanganyela izindaba ezinhle zikaJesu nabanye iwukuba isibonelo ekuphileni kwethu. Lapho sisebenzisa indlela kaJesu ngenkuthalo ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke, abantu bayobona okuhlukile kithi, futhi bayofuna lokho esinakho—ithemba nokuthula izwe elingenakusiphuca khona. 

Okulandelayo, uPawulu utshela uThimothewu ukuba azibophezele ekufundeni iBhayibheli nabanye, abakhumbuze ukuthi uJesu ungubani, nalokho Akwenzile. Kulokhu, kufanele abasize bafunde indlela yokuphila njengabafundi bakaJesu. 

Siluhlanganyela kanjani ukholo lwethu nabanye?  

Sibeka isibonelo ngendlela esiphila ngayo, bese sitshela abantu ngoJesu—ukuthi ungubani, nokuthi wenzeni. 

Kwesinye isikhathi lokho kuqala ngokumemela umuntu esontweni noma afunde nawe iBhayibheli. Kwesinye isikhathi, ukutshela abantu ukuthi uJesu uyiguqule kanjani impilo yakho. 

Ngenxa kaJesu, simenyelwe embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Futhi manje, njengabantu bombuso, sibizwe nguNkulunkulu ukuba sabelane nabanye ngokholo lwethu.

Ekugcineni, uPawulu utshela uThimothewu la mazwi: 

Khuthalela lezi zinto; zinike ngokupheleleyo kuzo, ukuze wonke umuntu abone ukuqhubeka kwakho. Bhekisisa impilo yakho nezimfundiso zakho. Phikelela kuzo, ngoba uma wenza, uyozisindisa wena nabakuzwayo. 1 Thimothewu 4:15-16 NIV

Uma sizibophezela ukuphila ngendlela kaJesu futhi sabelane nabanye ngamazwi Akhe, abantu bazobona izimpilo zethu futhi babone ukuthi kukhona okuhlukile. Uma simema abanye abantu kuloluhambo oluhle, nabo bangathola intethelelo yezono futhi bahlanganiswe noNkulunkulu.
