Mashi 29–Ephreli 4

Iphasika

“Nginguye Ophilayo, Nginguye Owabulawa”

Ngesikhathi ulungiselela ukukhumbula uVuko loMsindisi Kwabafileyo ngeSonto lePhasika, cabanga ngendlela isambulo samanje sesiqinise ngayo ukholo lwakho ukuthi uJesu Kristu yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu eZelwe Yodwa kanye noMhlengi womhlaba wonke.

Bhala Okufika Emqondweni Wakho

Ngo–Ephreli 3, 1836, kwakuyiSonto lwePhasika. Emva kokupha isidlo abaNgcwele ababehlangene eThempelini laseKirtland elisha, uJoseph Smith no–Oliver Cowdery bathola indawo ethuli emva kwesihenqo ethempelini bazithoba bakhuleka ngokuthula. Bese, ngalolusuku olungcwele lapho amaKristu yonke indawo ejabulela ukuVuka kwabafileyo kukaJesu Kristu, uMsindisi imbala ovukile wafika etempelini wathi “Nginguye ophilayo, Nginguye owabulawa” (IMfundiso neziVumelwano 110:4).

Kusho ukuthini ukuthi uJesu Kristu “unguye ophilayo”? Akuqondile ukuthi wavuka ethuneni ngosuku lwesithathu wase evela kwabafundi Bakhe baseGalile. Kuqonde ukuthi Uyaphila namhlanje. Ukhuluma kubaphrofethi namhlanje. Uhola iBandla Lakhe namhlanje. Uyayilungisa imimoya enamanxeba kanye nezinhliziyo eziphukile namhlanje. Ngakho, singaqhafaza amazwi obufakazi bukaJoseph Smith obunamandla: “Manje, emva kobufakazi obuningi osebunikiwe ngaye, nabu ubufakazi, ekugcineni kwakho konke, esibunikayo ngaye: Ukuthi uyaphila!”(IMfundiso neziVumelwano 76:22). Siyalizwa izwi lakhe kulezi zambulo. Siyakwazi ukubona isandla Sakhe ezimpilweni zethu. Futhi siyayizwa “injabulo elethwa yilesi sisho: ‘Ngiyazi ukuthi uMhlengi wami uyaphila!’”(Hymns, no. 136).

UJoseph Smith wayazi ukuthi kunjani ukuzilela ukufa kwabantu obathandayo. Abafo bakhe ababili, u–Alvin noDon Carlos, bashona beyizinsizwa ezincane. UJoseph no–Emma bangcwaba izingane eziyisithupha zonke zingaphansi kweminyaka embili. Kodwa kwizambulo azithola, uJoseph Smith, wathola umbono ongunaphakade ngokufa kanye nesu likaNkulunkulu elingunaphakade. Bona amaqiniso ambuliwe kwiMfundiso neziVumelwano 29:26–27; 42:45–46; 63:49; 88:14–17, 27–31; 93:33–34. Lezi zambulo ziyishintsha kanjani indlela obona ngayo ukufa?
