“Nibe ngoFakazi Bami”

Bhala Imizwa Yakho

Wake wazibuza yini ukuthi uPetro wayecabangani futhi ezizwa kanjani lapho yena, nabanye abaPhostoli, “[b]egqolozele ezulwini” ngesikhathi uJesu enyukela kuYise na? (IzEnzo 1:10). IBandla elasungulwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu manje lase liphethwe uPetro. Umsebenzi wokuhola umzamo “wokufundisa izizwe zonke” manje wawuphezu kwakhe (NgokukaMathewu 28:19). Kodwa uma ayezizwa engafaneleki noma esaba, asibutholi ubufakazi balokho encwadini yezEnzo. Esikutholayo yizibonelo zobufakazi obungesabi kanye nokuguquka, ukuphulukiswa okuyisimangaliso, ukubonakaliswa komoya, kanye nokukhula okumangalisayo kweBandla. Leli kwakusayiBandla likaMsindisi, lisaholwa Nguye. Eqinisweni, incwadi yezEnzo zabaPhostoli ingaphinde ibizwe ngokuthi izEnzo zikaJesu Kristu ngabaPhostoli Bakhe. Eqondiswa ukuthululwa kukaMoya, uPetro wayengaseyena umdobi ongafundile uJesu amthola ngasogwini loLwandle LwaseGalile. Futhi kwakungeyona indoda eyayikhungathekile eyayikhala kabuhlungu emasontweni ambalwa edlule ngoba yayiphike ukuthi yayimazi nokumazi uJesu waseNazaretha.

Encwadini yezEnzo, uzofunda izimemezelo ezinamandla ngoJesu Kristu kanye nevangeli Lakhe. Uzobona futhi ukuthi lelo vangeli lingabaguqula kanjani abantu—uzibale nawe—ukuba babe abafundi abangamaqhawe uNkulunkulu aziyo ukuthi bangaba yibo.

IZenzo 1:1–8, 15–26; 2:1–42; 4:1–13, 31–33

IzEnzo 2:36–47; 3:12–21

Imithetho kanye nezimiso zevangeli ziyangisiza ukuba ngize kuKristu.

Ingabe wake wazizwa “uhlabeke enhliziyweni,” njengamaJuda ngosuku lwePhentekhoste na? (IzEnzo 2:37). Mhlawumbe wenze okuthile ozisola ngakho, noma mhlawumbe ufuna ukushintsha ukuphila kwakho. Yini okufanele uyenze uma unale mizwa na? Iseluleko sikaPetru kumaJuda sitholakala encwadini yezEnzo 2:38. Qaphela ukuthi imthetho nezimiso zokuqala zevangeli (okuhlanganisa ukholo, ukuphenduka, umbhabhadiso, kanye nesipho sikaMoya oNgcwele—noma lokho ngezinye izikhathi okubizwa ngokuthi imfundiso kaKristu) kwabathinta kanjani laba baphenduki, njengoba kubhaliwe encwadini yezEnzo 2:37–47.

Renlund: “Singapheleliswa ngokuphindaphindiwe … ngokubonisa ukholo [kuKristu], ukuphenduka, ukudla isidlo esingcwele ukuze sivuselele izivumelwano kanye nezibusiso zombhabhadiso, kanye nokwamukela uMoya oNgcwele njengomngane ohlale ekhona kangcono. Njengoba senza kanjalo, siba njengoKristu ngokwengeziwe futhi sikwazi ukubambelela kuze kube sekupheleni, nakho konke okuhlelekile” (“Latter–day Saints Keep on Trying,” Liahona, ngoMeyi 2015, 56).

IzEnzo 3:19–21

Ziyini “izikhathi zokuphola” “nezikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwakho konke” na?

“Izikhathi zokuphola” zibhekisela eNkathini Yeminyaka Eyinkulungwane, lapho uJesu Kristu eyobuyela emhlabeni. “Izikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwezinto zonke” kubhekise ekuBuyiselweni kwevangeli, okulungiselela umhlaba iMinyaka eyiNkulungwane.

IzEnzo 3; 4:1–31; 5:12–42

Njengabafundi baJesu Kristu, sihlala sifuna ukufana Naye.
