NgoSepthemba 2–8: “Ukukhumbula iNkosi”

uHelamani 7–12

Uyise kaNefi, uHelamani, wayewancengile amadodana akhe ethi “khumbulani, khumbulani.” Wayefuna akhumbule okhokho bawo, akhumbule amazwi abaprofethi, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, akhumbule “uMkhululi wethu, onguKristu” (bheka kuHelamani 5:5–14). Kuyacaca ukuthi uNefi wayekhumbula, ngoba yiwo lona umyalezo awudlulisa kubantu ngemva kweminyaka “ngokungakhathali” (Helamani 10:4). “Ngabe nimkhohlwe kanjani uNkulunkulu wenu?” kwabuza yena (Helamani 7:20). Yonke imizamo kaNefi––eshumayela, ekhuleka, enza izimangaliso, futhi enxusa uNkulunkulu ngendlala––kwakuyimizamo yokusiza abantu babuyele kuNkulunkulu futhi Bamkhumbule. Ngezindlela eziningi, ukukhohlwa wuNkulunkulu kuyinkinga enkulu kunokungamazi Yena. Ngezindlela eziningi, ukumkhohlwa uNkulunkulu yiyona nkinga enkulu ngisho kunokungamazi, futhi kulula ukumkhohlwa lapho imiqondo yethu iphazanyiswe “[yizinto] eziyize zalomhlaba” futhi ifiphaziswe yisono (uHelanami 7:21; bheka futhi uHelamani 12:2). Kodwa, njengoba ubufundisi bukaNefi busikhombisa, asikaze siphele isikhathi sokukhumbula futhi “[niguqukele] eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu” (uHelamani 7:17).
