NgoJuni 24–30: “Ngenani Ekuphumuleni kweNkosi”

u-Alima 13–16

Ngezindlela eziningi, impilo yase-Amoniha yayiyinhle ku-Amuleki kanye noZeziromu. U-Amuleki “wayengumuntu ongenalo idumela elincane,” “enezihlobo nabangani abaningi” kanye “nengcebo eningi” (Alima 10:4). UZeziromu wayengummeli onesipiliyoni“ owayejabulela “ibhizinisi eliningi” (Alima 10:31). U-Alima wabe esefika e-Amoniha ethunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba ameme abantu ukuba baphenduke futhi “bangene ekuphumuleni kweNkosi” (Alima 13:16). Ku-Amuleki, uZeziromu, kanye nabanye, ukwamukela lesisimemo kwakudinga ukuthi bazidele futhi kwaholela ngisho nasebunzimeni obungabekezeleki.

Kodwa-ke indaba ayipheli lapho. Ku-Alima 13–16, sifunda ukuthi kwenzakalani ekugcineni kulabo abakholelwa “emandleni kaKristu anensindiso” (Alima 15:6). Kwesinye isikhathi kukhona ukukhululwa, kwesinye isikhathi ukuphiliswa—futhi kwesinye isikhathi izinto azibilula kulempilo. Kodwa njalo, “iNkosi iyabamukela [abantu Bayo] phezulu kuyo, enkazimulweni” (Alima 14:11). Njalo, iNkosi isinika “amandla ngokokholo [lwethu] olukuKristu” (Alima 14:28). Futhi njalo, lokho “kukholwa eNkosini” kusinika “ithemba lokuthi [si]zozuza ukuphila okuphakade” (Alima 13:29). Njengoba ufunda lezi zahluko, ungathola induduzo kulezi zithembiso, futhi ungase uqonde kangcono ukuthi u-Alima wayesho ukuthini lapho ekhuluma “ngokuphumula kweNkosi” (Alima 13:16).

Amasu okuFunda eKhaya kanye naseBandleni

U-Alima 13:1–19

Izimiso zobupristi kanye nezivumelwano zingikhomba kuJesu Kristu ukuze ngihlengwe.

Amazwi ka-Alima ku-Alima 13 embula amaqiniso anamandla ngobupristi kanye nenjongo yabo—ukusilungiselela ukungena “ekuphumuleni kweNkosi,” noma ukuphila okuphakade (Alima 13:16). Mhlawumbe ungazama ukuthola okungenani iqiniso elilodwa evesini ngalinye ku-Alima 13:1–19. Nansi imibono ongaqala ngayo:

Ivesi 1.Ubupristi bubizwa nangokuthi “uhlelo lweNdodana [kaNkulunkulu] (bheka futhi IMfundiso neziVumelwano 107:1–4).

Ivesi 2.UNkulunkulu ugcoba abapristi ukuze basize abantu babheke eNdodaneni Yakhe ukuze bakhululwe.

Yikuphi okunye okutholayo? Uzizwa kanjani ngobupristi njengoba uzindla ngalamaqiniso na?

Wake wacabanga ngezimiso zobupristu njengesipho esivela kuNkulunkulu ukukusiza “ulindele iNdodana ukuze uhlengwe” na? (ivesi 2; bheka futhi-ivesi 16). Mhlawumbe ungenza uhla lwezimiso ozitholile, njengokubhabhadiswa, ukuqiniswa, isidlo esingcwele, ukwahlukaniselwa ubizo, isibusiso senduduzo noma ukwelashwa, isibusiso senzalamizi, kanye nezimiso zasethempelini. Zindla ngalokho odlule kukho ngenxa yezimiso ezifana nalezi. Cabanga ngokuthi kwakumeleni kanye noMoya owawuzwa. Ngabe isimiso ngasinye sikukhomba kanjani kuJesu Kristu ukuze uhlengwe na?

Abanye abantu bakholelwa ephutheni elithi izimiso—kanye negunya lobupristi lokuzenza—azinasidingo. Ungawuphendula kanjani lowo mbono na? ­

Bheka futhi IMfundiso neziVumelwano 84:19– 22.

Izimiso zobupristi zisisiza ukuthi sibheke kuJesu Kristu ukuze sikhululwe.

u-Alima 13

INkosi ingimema ukuba ngingene ekuphumuleni Kwayo.

Isimemo “[soku]ngena ekuphumuleni kweNkosi” (Alima 13:16) siphindwa kaningi ku-Alima 13. Mhlawumbe ungabheka wonke amavesi lapho igama elithi “phumula” livela khona bese uzindla ngokuthi ivesi ngalinye likufundisani ngokuthi “ukuphumula kweNkosi” kungase kuchaze ukuthini. Kuhluke kanjani nokuphumula ngokomzimba na? Singakuthola kanjani na?

u-Alima 14

Ezikhathini zokuhlupheka, kumele sithembe iNkosi.

Ungamangala, njengoba kwenza abaningi, kungani kwenzeka izinto ezimbi kubantu abazama ukuphila ngokulunga.

Ngabe amazwi nezenzo zabo zikufundisani ngokuthi kungani iNkosi ngezinye izikhathi ivumela abantu abalungileyo ukuba bahlupheke na? Ngabe u-Alima no-Amuleki bangasinika iseluleko esithini uma sibhekene nezivivinyo ezinzima na?

Bheka futhi KwabaseRoma 8:35–39; 1 KaPetru 4:12–14; IMfundiso neziVumelwano 122:5–9.

“Hlala ulindile njalo.” Amathuba okufundisa adlula ngokushesha, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi uwasebenzise uma evela. Isibonelo, inhlekelele emhlabeni, ingaba yithuba lokwabelana ngezimiso ezivela ku-Alima 14 mayelana nokuthi kungani iNkosi ngezinye izikhathi ivumela abangenacala ukuba bahlupheke.

u-Alima 15:16, 18

Ukuba umfundi kaJesu kudinga ukuzidela.
