Amaqhawe Asemasha Ayizinkulungwane Ezimbili, ngu-Arnold Friberg

Ngo-Agasti 19–25: “Ulondoloziwe Ngamandla Akhe Amangalisayo”

U-Alima 53–63

Uma liqhathaniswa namabutho lamaLamani, “impi encane” kaHelamani (u-Alima 56:33) yabafana kwakungamele libe nethuba lokunqoba. Ngaphandle kokuba yidlanzana ngokwesibalo, amabutho kaHelamani “babe bancance … bonke,” futhi “babengakaze balwe” (u-Alima 56:46–47). Ngezinye izindlela, isimo sabo sasingabukeka sicishe sifane nesabanye bethu abazizwa ngesinye isikhathi bezungezwe futhi becindezeleka empini yezinsuku zokugcina ngokumelana noSathane kanye namandla obubi emhlabeni.

Kepha ibutho likaHelamani lalinokulisizayo ngaphezulu kwamaLamani okwakungekona izibalo noma ikhono lokulwa. Lakhetha uHelamani, umprofethi, ukuba alihole (bheka u-Alima 53:19); “babefundiswe ngonina, ukuthi uma bengangabazi, uNkulunkulu wayezobakhulula” (u-Alima 56:47); futhi “babenokholo lwabo olukhulu kulokho ababefundiswe khona.” Umphumela, bavikeleka “ngamandla Akhe amangalisayo” (u-Alima 57:26). Ngakho ke lapho sibhekene nezimpi empilweni, singaba nesibindi. Ibutho likaHelamani lisifundisa ukuthi “[u]khona uNkulunkulu olungile, futhi nokuthi lowo [o]ngangabazi [uzo]londolozwa ngamandla Akhe amangalisayo” (u-Alima 57:26).

U-Alima 53:10–22; 56:43–49, 55–56; 57:20–27; 58:39–40

Ukuba nokholo kuNkulunkulu kuyangisiza ukuba nginqobe ukwesaba.

Ukuba kwakungengenxa yokholo lwawo, amasosha asemancane kaHelamani ayezoba nesizathu esihle sokuzizwa esaba. Kodwa ngenxa yokholo lwawo, babenesizathu esikhulu sokuba nesibindi.

They Did Not Doubt [Abangabazanga], nguJoseph Brickey

U-Alima 58:1–12, 31–37; 61

Abalandeli baJesu Kristu abacasuki kalula.

UHelamani noPahorani babenezizathu zokuba bacasuke. UHelamani wayengakutholi ukwesekwa kwamabutho akhe, futhi uPahorani wasolwa ngokwamanga nguMoroni ngokugodla lokho kweseka (bheka u-Alima 58:4–9, 31–32; 60). Yikuphi okukuhlaba umxhwele ngezimphendulo zabo ku-Alima 58:1–12, 31–37 futhi u-Alima 61? Ucabanga ukuthi kungani baphendula ngalendlela?

IGosa uDavid A. Bednar lakhomba uPahorani njengesibonelo sokuthobeka futhi wafundisa ukuthi “izibonelo ezinkulu zobumnene futhi nesingazuza kakhulu kuzo zitholakala empilweni yoMsindisi uqobo” (“Meek and Lowly of Heart,” Liahona, ngoMeyi 2018, 32). Cabanga ngokuthi uMsindisi wabukhombisa kanjani ubumnene. Bheka, Isibonelo, NgokukaMathewu 27:11–26; NgokukaLuka 22:41–42; NgokukaJohane 13:4–17. Ungasilandela kanjani isibonelo Sakhe na?

U-Alima 60:7–14

Nginesibopho sokuphakamisa abantu abaseduze kwami.

UMoroni wabhala ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezombeka icala uPahorani uma engazinaki ngamabomu izidingo zamabutho amaNefi. Yikuphi okufundayo ku-Alima 60:7–14 mayelana nokunakekela abantu abaswele? Yini ongayenza ukuze uqaphele futhi ufeze izidingo zabanye na?

U-Alima 62:39–51

Uma ngizehlisa, izinkinga zingaphendula inhliziyo yami eNkosini.

Faka iqanda elikuhlaza kanye nezambane emanzini abilayo ukuze kukusize ucabange ukuthi ungakhetha kanjani “ukuthanjiswa” noma “ukuqiniswa” izivivinyo zakho. Ngenkathi kuphekeka iqanda lakho kanye nezambane, funda u-Alima 62:39–51, futhi uqaphele ukuthi abantu basabela kanjani enkonzweni kaHelamani ngemva kwempi yabo ende namaLamani. Ungakwazi ke ukuqhathanisa lokhu nendlela abasabela ngayo ekushumayeleni kwakhe eminyakeni eyi-13 edlule (bheka u-Alima 45:20–24). Ngabe amaNefi athinteka kanjani ngezindlela ezahlukile yizinkinga ezifanayo na? Uma iqanda nezambane sekuphekwe ngokugcwele, qhekeza iqanda futhi usike izambane. Ngabe amanzi abilayo abe nomthelela ohlukile kanjani na? Ngabe ufundani ngokuthi singakhetha ukuziphatha kanjani uma sibhekene nezinkinga? Ungaphendukela kanjani kuNkulunkulu ngenkathi udlula osizini?

Funda kulokho okwenzeka ekhaya. Uma ufundisa ikilasi eBandleni, cela amalungu ekilasi ukuthi abelane ngalokho abakufundile ekhaya. Isibonelo, thola ukuthi bafundeni ngezinkinga nokuthobeka ngokubilisa amaqanda namazambane.
