NgoFebhruwari 19–25: 2 Nefi 6–10: “O Likhulu Kangakanani Isu likaNkulunkulu Wethu”

2 Nefi 6–10

Kwase kudlule iminyaka engekho ngaphansi kwama-40 selokhu umndeni kaLehi washiya iJerusalema. Babesemhlabeni ababengawujwayele futhi owawumusha futhi, ukude kakhulu neJerusalema. ULehi wayeseshonile, futhi umndeni wakhe wase uqale okwakuzophenduka ukungezwani okuzothatha amakhulunyaka phakathi kwamaNefi—“ababekholelwa ezexwayisweni kanye nasezambulweni zikaNkulunkulu”—namaLamani wona ayengakholwa (2 Nefi 5:6). Kulezi zimo, uJakobe, owayengumfowabo kaNefi omncane futhi manje wayesegcotshelwe ukuba uthishela kumaNefi, wayefuna abantu besivumelwano bazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengasoze abakhohlwe, ngakho-ke, kumele bangalinge bamukhohlwe. Lona umyalezo ngempela esiwudingayo namuhla (bheka IMfundiso neziVumelwano 1:15–16). “Masimkhumbule, … ngokuba asilahlwanga. … Zinkulu izethembiso zeNkosi,” wamemezela (2 Nefi 10:20–21). Kuzo lezo zethembiso, asikho esikhulu kunesethembiso “[se]nhlawulo engapheliyo” ukunqoba ukufa nesihogo (2 Nefi 9:7). “Ngalokho-ke,” kwaphetha uJakobe, “thokozani ezinhlizyweni zenu”! (2 Nefi 10:23).

Amasu okuFunda eKhaya kanye naseBandleni

2 Nefi 6–8

INkosi inomusa ebantwini Bayo futhi izofeza zonke izivumelwano Zayo.

Ukusiza abantu bakhe baqonde ukuthi babeyingxinye yendlu ka-Israyeli futhi babengathemba uNkulunkulu nezethembiso Zakhe, uJakobe waphinda iziprofetho zika-Isaya, ezilotshwe ku 2 Nefi 6–8. Lowo myalezo owakho nawe, ngoba abaNgcwele beziNsuku zokuGcina bayingxenye yabantu besivumelwano baNkulunkulu. Ngesikhathi ufunda lezi zigaba, zindla ngemibuzo efana nale elandelayo:

• Yikona kuphi engikufundayo ngothando oluhlengayo lukaMsindisi ngami na? Yimaphi amagama noma imisho echaza lolu uthando kahle kakhulu na?

• UMsindisi ubanikezani abamfunayo na?

• Yikona kuphi engingakwenza ukuze “ngilindele” uMsindisi nezibusiso Zakhe azethembisile na?

Bese, ngomunye umbala, ungagqamisa esingakuthola ngeNhlawulo kaMsindisi. Ngokwalokhu okufundile, ungachaza kanjani ukuthi siyidingelani iNhlawulo kaJesu Kristu na? Ngabe yikona kuphi okutholayo okukugqugquzelayo ukuthi udumise “ ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu, umusa kanye nesihawu sakhe” na? (2 Nefi 9:8).

Ngaphezulu kokufundisa lokho uJesu Kristu asisindisa kukho, uJakobe waphinda wafundisa ngendlela Akwenza ngayo. Cabanga ngokubhala okutholayo ku 2 Nefi 9:11–15, 20–24.

UJakobe wayelijabulela isu likaNkulunkulu lokukhululwa kangangokuthi wathi, “O likhulu kangakanani isu likaNkulunkulu.” Bheka akushoyo ku 2 Nefi 9 (okuningi kutholakala emavesini 8–20). Yikona kuphi okufundayo kulamavesi ngesu likaNkulunkulu na? Ngabe yiziphi ezinye izehlakalo ezike zakusiza uzwe okunye kwalokho uJakobe akuzwa na? ­

2 Nefi 9:7

INhlawulo kaMsindisi engapheliyo.

Ngabe yini ongayenza ukuqonda kangcono “inhlawulo engapheliyo” kaJesu Kristu na? (2 Nefi 9:7). Mhlawumbe bangabuka noma bacabange izinto ezibonakala zingapheli ngokwenani—utshani ensimini, izinhlamvu zesihlabathi ebhishi, noma izinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni. Kungani iNhlawulo yoMsindisi ingapheliyo na? Kungani futhi kuyinto yomuntu siqu na? Yiyona yiphi imishwana ku 2 Nefi 9 ejulisa ukubonga kwakho ngalokho uMsindisi akwenzele khona na?

2 Nefi 9:27–54

Ngingeza kuKristu futhi ngilandele isu likaNkulunkulu.

Ku 2 Nefi 9, uJakobe usebenzise imisho enamandla nephikisanayo owokuqala othi: “isu lomusa loMdali omkhulu” kanye nothi “O lelosu lobuqili lomubi” (2 Nefi 9:6, 28). Mhlawumbe ungadweba indlela bese uyinikeza igama elithi Isu likaBaba oseZulwini. Bese ubheka 2 Nefi 9:27–52. Bheka izexwayiso nezimemo uJakobe azinikeza ukusisiza silandele lelisu. Bhala okutholayo ngaphandle kwendlela. Ngabe uSathane uzama kanjani ukusisusa kwisu likaNkulunkulu na? Ngabe uzwa intshisekelo yokuthi wenzeni ngenxa yezixwayiso nezimemo zikaJakobe na?

2 Nefi 10:20, 23–25

Umnikelo kaJesu Kristu ungangilethela intokozo.

Umyalezo waJakobe kwakuwumyalezo onentokozo. Wathi, “Ngikhuluma kini lezi zinto ukuze nithokoze, futhi niphakamise amakhanda enu ingunaphakade” (2 Nefi 9:3).
