“INkosi Idinga iNhliziyo neNgqondo eFisayo”

UMongameli uHenry B. Eyring wathi “ngivamise ukuya ezincwadini ezingcwele nemibuzo ‘UNkulunkulu angafisa ngenzenjani?’ noma ‘Angafisa ngizizwe kanjani?’ Njalo ngithola amasu kanye nemicabango emisha engingakaze ngaba nayo ngaphambilini” (“How God Speaks to Me through the Scriptures,” Feb. 6, 2019, blog ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Ngesikhathi ilanga lishisa kakhulu ngo-Agasti 1831, amagosa amaningi ayehamba ebuyela emumva eKirtland emva kokuhlola umhlaba weSiyoni eMissouri njengokuyalelwa yiNkosi. Kwakungesilo uhambo olumnandi. Izihambi—uJoseph Smith, u-Oliver Cowdery, uSidney Rigdon, u-Ezra Booth, kanye nabanye—babeshiselwa futhi bekhathele, futhi izingxabano zajika zaba umbango ngokushesha. Kwakungabukeka sengathi ukwakha iSiyoni, idolobha lothando, ubumbano, kanye nokuthula kwakuzothatha isikhathi eside.

Ngenhlanhla, ukwakha iSiyoni—eMissouri ngo-1831 noma ezinhliziyweni kanye nasemawadini ethu namhlanje—akusidingi ukuthi sibe ngabantu abazi konke. Esikhundleni kwalokho, “kuwena kudingeka ukuthi uxole,” kwasho iNkosi (IMfundiso neziVumelwano 64:10). Idinga “inhliziyo nengqondo efisayo” (ivesi 34). Futhi Idinga ukubekezela kanye nokukhuthala, ngoba iSiyoni sakhiwe ngaphezulu kwesisekelo “sezinto ezincane,” ezenziwe yilabo “abangakhathali ekwenzeni kahle” (ivesi 33).
