Bhala Imizwa Yakho

EThesalonikha, uPawulu noSila bamangalelwa ngokuthi “bayaluzisa izwe” (IzEnzo 17:6). Ukushumayela kwabo kwabathukuthelisa ngempela abaholi phakathi kwamaJuda, futhi labo baholi babangela isiyaluyalu kubantu (bheka IzEnzo 17:1–10). Ngenxa yalokhu, uPawulu noSila belulekwa ukuba bahambe eThesalonikha. UPawul wayekhathazekile ngamakholwa amasha aseThesalonikha noshushiso ayebhekene nalo, kodwa akakwazanga ukuphindela ukuyowavakashela. “Lapho ngingasenakubekezela,” wabhala, “ngathumela ukuba ngiqonde ukukholwa kwenu.” Ephendula uThimothewu, umsizi kaPawul, owayesiza eThesalonikha, “wasibikela izindaba ezinhle zokukholwa nothando lwenu” (1 KwabaseThesalonikha 3:5–6). Eqinisweni, abaNgcwele baseThesalonikha babaziwa njengesibonelo “kubo bonke abakholwayo” (1 KwabaseThesalonikha 1:7), futhi izindaba zokholo lwabo zasakazela emadolobheni aphesheya. Cabanga ngenjabulo nempumuzo kaPawulu lapho ezwa ukuthi umsebenzi wakhe phakathi kwabo “awubanga yize” (1 KwabaseThesalonikha 2:1). Kodwa uPawulu wayazi ukuthi ukwethembeka esikhathini esidlule akwenele ukuze siphile ngokomoya esikhathini esizayo, futhi wayexwaya ithonya labafundisi bamanga phakathi kwabaNgcwele (bheka 2 KwabaseThesalonikha 2:2–3). Umlayezo wakhe kubo, nakithi, owokuthi siqhubeke “siphelelise lokho okusileleyo ekukholweni [kwethu]” futhi “sande ngokwengezisiwe othandweni” (bheka 1 KwabaseThesalonikha 3:10; 4:10).
