Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

“Hlolani imibhalo; ngoba nicabanga ukuthi kuyo niyoba nokuphila okungunaphakade: yiyo engifakazelayo. Futhi ngeke nize kimi, ukuze nibe nokuphila” (Johane 5:39-40).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

IBhayibheli umbhalo womlando womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli, futhi lilandisa ngokuningi ukubikezela kwabaphrofethi basemandulo kanye namanye amazwi kaJehova emsebenzini Wakhe ngaleso sikhathi. Ngakho, bonke abantu bayithatha le ncwadi njengencwadi engcwele (ngoba uNkulunkulu ungcwele futhi mkhulu). Phela, lokhu kungenxa yokuhlonipha kwabo uJehova okukhulu kanye nokumthanda kakhulu uNkulunkulu. Abantu babiza le ncwadi ngale ndlela kuphela ngenxa yokuthi izidalwa zikaNkulunkulu zimhlonipha futhi zimthanda kakhulu uMdali wazo, futhi kukhona ngisho labo le ncwadi abayibiza njengencwadi yasezulwini. Empeleni, imane iwumbhalo wabantu. Ayizange iqanjwe igama nguJehova mathupha, futhi uJehova akazange aqondise ukwenziwa kwayo mathupha. Ngamanye amazwi, umbhali wale ncwadi akuyena uNkulunkulu, kodwa abantu. IBhayibheli Elingcwele yigama elinokuhlonipha elinikwe yona ngabantu. Leli gama alizange liqokwe nguJehova noJesu emva kokuthi bekade benengxoxo ndawonye; ayiyilutho ngaphezu kokuba umbono womuntu. Ngoba le ncwadi ayibhalwanga nguJehova, kungasaphathwa uJesu. Kunalokho, iyizindaba ezixoxwa ngabaphrofethi abaningi basendulo, abaphostoli kanye nababoni abaningi basendulo, ezabuthelwa ndawonye yizizukulwane zakamuva ukwenza incwadi yemibhalo yasendulo, kubantu ebonakala sengathi ingcwele kakhulu, incwadi abakholelwa ukuthi inezimfihlakalo ezingeqondwe futhi ezijulile ezilinde ukudalulwa izizukulwane ezizayo. Ngale ndlela, abantu bathanda ngisho ukukholwa ukuthi le ncwadi incwadi yasezulwini. Uma kwengezwa amaVangeli Amane kanye neNcwadi yeSambulo, isimo sengqondo sabantu ngayo sihluke nakakhulu kunanoma iyiphi enye incwadi, ngakho akekho olokothayo ukuhlaziya le “ncwadi yasezulwini”—ngoba “ingcwele” kakhulu.

Abantu, abakhohlakele bonke bahlala ogibeni lukaSathane, baphila enyameni, baphila ezifisweni zokuzifunela, futhi akekho namunye phakathi kwabo ofanelana Nami. Kunalabo abathi bafanelana Nami, kodwa bonke badumisa izithixo ezingabonakali. Yize bevuma ukuthi igama Lami lingcwele, bahamba endleleni ephambana Nami, kanti amazwi abo agcwele ukuzidla nokuzethemba, ngoba, ekuqaleni baphambana Nami, futhi abafanelani Nami. Nsuku zonke bafuna imikhondo Yami eBhayibhelini bathole izingxenye “ezifanele” benganakile abazifunda bangaqedi bese bezisho “njengemibhalo”. Abakwazi ukuthi bafanelane Nami, abazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukungazwani Nami, baphinde bafunde “imibhalo” ngokunganaki. Bazicindezela ngeBhayibheli kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali abangakaze bambone, futhi abangeke bakwazi ukumbona, bazinikeze isikhathi sokubheka esikhathini sabo esiseceleni. Bayakholwa ukuthi ngikhona ngokweBhayibheli kuphela. Kubona, ngiyafana neBhayibheli; ngaphandle kweBhayibheli angikho Mina, futhi ngaphandle Kwami alikho iBhayibheli. Abanendaba nobukhona noma izenzo Zami, kunalokhu banake kakhulu igama negama lombhalo ongcwele, futhi abaningi babo bakholelwa ukuthi kufanele ngingenzi lutho engifisa ukukwenza ngaphandle kokuthi kwabikezelwa umbhalo ongcwele. Benza umbhalo ongcwele ubaluleke kakhulu. Kungathiwa nje ukuthi babona amazwi nezinkulumo zibaluleke kakhulu, ukufika ekutheni basebenzisa amavesi aseBhayibhelini ukulinganisa igama negama engilishoyo, nokungehlulela. Lokho abakufunayo akuyona indlela yokufanelana Nami, noma indlela yokufanelana neqiniso, kodwa indlela yokufanelana namazwi eBhayibheli, futhi bakholelwa wukuthi noma yini engahambelani neBhayibheli, ngaphandle kokukhetha, akusiwo umsebenzi Wami. Ingabe abantu abanjalo abazona izizukulwane ezilalelayo zabaFarisi? AbaFarisi abangamaJuda babesebenzisa umthetho kaMose ukwehlulela uJesu. Abazange bafune ukufanelana noJesu wangaleso sikhathi, kodwa ngokukhuthala balandela umthetho kwaze kwaba yilapho kufinyelela ekutheni babethele uJesu ongenacala esiphambanweni, bembeke icala bengalandelanga umthetho weTestamente Elidala nokuthi akayena uMesiya. Kwakuyini umnyombo wabo? Kwakungekhona yini ukuthi abazange bafune izindlela zokufanelana neqiniso? Babenentshisekelo ngawo wonke amazwi ombhalo ongcwele, bebe bengenandaba nentando Yami nezinyathelo nezindlela zomsebenzi Wami. Babengebona abantu ababefuna iqiniso, kodwa abantu ababebambelela ngokuqinile emazwini; bebengebona abantu abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, kodwa abantu abakholelwa eBhayibhelini. Empeleni, bebengonogada beBhayibheli. Ukuze bavikele okungokweBhayibheli, baqhakambise isithunzi seBhayibheli, bavikele isithunzi salo, baze bafika ekubetheleni uJesu onomusa esiphambanweni. Lokhu bakwenze nje ngoba befuna ukuvikela iBhayibheli, nokugcina ukuma kwegama ngalinye eliseBhayibhelini nawo wonke amazwi aseBhayibhelini esezinhliziyweni zabantu. Ngakho-ke bakhethe ukushiya ikusasa labo nomnikelo wesono ukwahlulela uJesu, ongazange ahambelane nezimfundiso zombhalo oyingcwele, ukuya ekufeni. Ingabe babengezona izinceku egameni ngalinye loMbhalo ongcwele?

Bese kwenzekani ngabantu namuhla? UKristu uzele ukuzokhulula iqiniso, kodwa babona kungcono ukumxosha ebantwini ukuze bathole umusa. Bangamane baphike ngokuphelele ukuza kweqiniso ukuze bavikele okweBhayibheli, futhi bangamane babethele uKristu obuyele enyameni esiphambanweni ukuze baqinisekise ukuba khona kweBhayibheli ingunaphakade. Umuntu angayithola kanjani insindiso Yami, uma inhliziyo yakhe iyimbi kangaka, nesimo sakhe semvelo siphikisana kangaka Nami? Ngihlala phakathi kwabantu, kodwa abantu ababazi ubukhona Bami. Uma ngikhanyisa ukukhanya Kwami kubantu balokhu behlala bebungabaza ubukhona Bami. Uma ngidedela ulaka Lwami phezu komuntu, ukuphika ngelikhulu iqholo ukuba khona Kwami. Umuntu ufuna ukufanelana ngamazwi, ngeBhayibheli kodwa akekho noyedwa umuntu oza phambi Kwami afune indlela yokufanelana neqiniso. Umuntu ubheka Kimi ezulwini, anikele ukukhathazeka okuthile ebukhoneni Bami ezulwini, kodwa akekho onginakayo enyameni, ngoba Mina engihlala phakathi kwabantu angibalulekanga nhlobo. Labo abafuna kuphela ukufanelana namazwi eBhayibheli, abafuna ukufanelana noNkulunkulu ongabonakali, bayisinengiso Kimi. Kungenxa yokuthi lokho abakukhonzayo kungamazwi afile, noNkulunkulu okwazi ukubanikeza ingcebo engelinganiswe. Abakukhonzayo uNkulunkulu ozibeka emseni womuntu futhi ongekho. Manje, abantu abanjalo bangazuzani Kimi? Umuntu uhlwempu kakhulu ngamazwi. Labo abaphikisana Nami, abenza izimfuno ezingapheli Kimi, abangalithandi iqiniso, abahlubukayo Kimi—bangafanelana kanjani Nami?
