Bhala Imizwa Yakho

UMsindisi wayelambile emuva kokuhamba esuka eBethaniya eya eJerusalema, futhi isihlahla samakhiwane esasibuqamama sasibukeka njengomthombo wokudla. Kodwa ngesikhathi uJesu esondela esihlahleni, Wathola ukuthi asithelanga zithelo (bheka NgokukaMathewu 21:17–20; NgokukaMarku 11:12–14, 20). Ngandlela-thile, umkhiwane wawufana nabaholi benkolo abangabazenzisi baseJerusalema: izimfundiso zabo eziyize nokubonisa kwabo ubungcwele kwangaphandle akuzange kunikeze ukondleka kwabo okungokomoya. AbaFarisi nababhali babonakala begcina imiyalelo eminingi kodwa begeja imiyalo emibili emikhulu: ukuthanda uNkulunkulu kanye nokuthanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena (bheka NgokukaMathewu 22:34–40; 23:23).

Ngokuphambene, abantu abaningi base beqale ukubona izithelo ezinhle ezimfundisweni zikaJesu. Lapho efika eJerusalema, bamamukela ngamagatsha anqunywe ezihlahleni ukuze alungise indlela Yakhe, bejabulela ukuthi ekugcineni, njengoba isiphrofetho sasendulo sasho, “INkosi yakho iyeza” (UZakhariya 9:9). Njengoba ufunda kulelisonto, cabanga ngezithelo zezimfundiso zoMsindisi kanye nomnikelo wenhlawulo empilweni yakho nokuthi ungaveza kanjani “isithelo esiningi” (NgokukaJohane 12:24).

Amasu Okuzifundela Imibhalo Engcwele

NgokukaLuka 19:1–10

INkosi ayahluleli ngokubonakala ngaphandle kodwa ngezifiso zenhliziyo.

Ngosuku lukaJesu, abantu abaningi babecabanga ukuthi abathelisi, babengathembekile futhi bebela abantu. Ngakho ngenxa yokuthi uZakewu, umthelisi omkhulu, wayecebile, kungenzeka ukuthi wayesolwa nakakhulu. Kodwa uJesu wabheka inhliziyo kaZakewu. Ngabe NgokukaLuka 19:1–10 ukuvezelani ngenhliziyo kaZakewu na? Ungase uphawule amazwi akulamavesi achaza lokho uZakewu akwenza ukuze abonise ukuzinikela kwakhe kuMsindisi. Yiziphi izifiso zenhliziyo yakho na? Wenzani ukufuna uMsindisi, njengoba kwenza uZakewu na?

Uchtdorf achaza, “[UJesu] wavukela ngentukuthelo elungile abazenzisi abafana nababhali, abaFarisi, nabaSadusi—labo ababezama ukubonakala belungile ukuze bazuze udumo, ithonya, nengcebo yomhlaba, konke, ngenkathi becindezela abantu okufanele ngabe bayababusisa” (“On Being Genuine,” iLiyahona, ngoMeyi 2015, 81).

Ku NgokukaMathewu 23, uMsindisi usebenzisa izingathekiso ukuchaza ukuzenzisa. Cabangela ukumaka noma ukuklelisa lezi zifenqo futhi uqaphele ezikufundisayo ngokuzenzisa. Uyini umehluko phakathi kokuzenzisa kanye nobuthakathaka bomuntu sonke esibhekana nabo ngesikhathi sizama ukuphila ivangeli na? Yini okhuthazwa ukuba uyenze ngokuhlukile ngenxa yezimfundiso zoMsindisi na?
