USUKU 1: UNGUBANI UNKULUNKULU?

Inyanga ijikeleza umhlaba, kepha umhlaba ujikeleza ilanga. Ezimpilweni zethu, sonke silingeka ukuba sinciphise uNkulunkulu kuye ngobungako benyanga, lapho esizungeza khona. Kodwa iBhayibheli liveza isithombe esihlukile sikaNkulunkulu: uNkulunkulu okhanyayo futhi okhazimulayo kangangokuba unendlela yokuba yisizinda sobukhona bethu, hhayi nje igumbi lezenkolo ohlangothini. Yize umhlaba weBhayibheli nezwe lethu lanamuhla lehluke ngokuphelele, izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ochazwa yiBhayibheli akashintshile nakancane. Zonke izincazelo ezisolekayo zikaNkulunkulu ezise Bhayibhelini zisebenza njengekhampasi yeqiniso elingaguquki njengoba sifuna ukuthola ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani. Masifunde ukuhlangana komuntu oyedwa naye.Lifundisani iBhayibheli?Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u-Uziya ngabona uJehova ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi esiphezulu nesiphakemeyo, umsila wengubo yakhe ugcwalisa ithempeli. 2 Ngaphezu kwakhe kwakumi amaserafi;* yilelo nalelo lalinamaphiko ayisithupha; ngamabili lamboza ubuso, nangamabili lamboza izinyawo, nangamabili landiza. 3 Elinye lamemeza kwelinye, lathi: “Ungcwele, ungcwele, ungcwele uJehova Sebawoti, wonke umhlaba ugcwele inkazimulo yakhe.” 4 Izinsika zomnyango zathuthumela ngezwi lomemezayo, indlu yagcwala umusi. 5 Ngase ngithi: “Maye kimi! Ngokuba ngiphelile, lokhu ngingumuntu ozindebe zakhe zingcolile, futhi ngihlezi phakathi kwabantu abazindebe zabo zingcolile, ngokuba amehlo ami abonile iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.” 6 Kepha landizela kimi elinye lamaserafi* liphethe ilahle elivuthayo esandleni salo, elalithathe ngodlawu e-altare, 7 lathinta umlomo wami, lathi: “Bheka, lokhu kuthintile izindebe zakho; ububi bakho sebususiwe, nezono zakho zihlanguliwe.” 8 Futhi ngezwa izwi leNkosi lithi: “Ngiyakuthuma bani, ngubani oyakusiyela na?” Ngase ngithi: “Bheka, nangu mina; ngithume mina.” U-ISAYA 6:1-8Kusho ukuthini kimi?Unjani uNkulunkulu? Sibona ukuthi: 1) UyiNkosi yaphakade (V1). Noma amakhosi asemhlabeni angafika futhi ahambe, uNkulunkulu uhlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi. 2) Iphakeme futhi iphakeme (V2). Mkhulu ngendlela emangalisayo. 3) Ngcwele (V3). Lokhu kusho ukuthi umsulwa ngokuphelele futhi uhlukile ngokuphelele. 4) NKOSI (v3).

Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ingukukhanya okuhle kwesimo sakhe esiphelele. Inkazimulo yakhe igcwalisa umhlaba wonke.Kufanele siphendule kanjani ebukhoneni bakhe? Lapho sihlangana naye ngokweqiniso, simkhuleka njengalez’ izingelosi (v3), sithuthumela ngokwesabeka (v4), sinesono sethu (v5), sithole intethelelo yakhe kanye (v7) futhi sithole izindlela zokutshela abanye ukuthi uyamangalisa (v8). Nokusithinta ukuze asihlanze.Ngenzeni?Uyakholelwa yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufana ngempela noNkulunkulu ochazwe lapha? Uma impilo yakho iqhathaniswa nomhlaba, ngabe uNkulunkulu ufana nenyanga noma nelanga kuwe? Ufuna ukuqhubeka nokufunda?Funda u-Isaya 40:12-27 neHubo 103.YINI ISINYATHELO SAMI ESILANDELAYO?Xoxela omunye ngesinyathelo sakho sokulandela uJesu. Sonke sidinga abantu kukoluhambo lokholo. Ungakhuluma nobani, ubuze imibuzo futhi wabelane ngalokho okwenziwa uNkulunkulu empilweni yakho.

USUKU 2: UNGUBANI UJESU?

Imibuzo esithanda ukuyibuza ngoNkulunkulu ayipheli: Ingabe uNkulunkulu ungokoqobo? Ngabe esikwaziyo Ngaye kuyiqiniso ngempela? Ngabe uhlanganisani nempilo yami? IBhayibheli kungenzeka lingaphenduli yonke imibuzo ngoNkulunkulu futhi livame ukusiholela ekubuzeni okuningi, kepha enye yezindawo lapho iBhayibheli lisho khona impela, iyimpendulo yombuzo othi: ungubani uJesu?

UJesu uncome ukuvuma kuka Mphostoli uPetru ngokuthi 'unguMesiya, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo' (UMathewu 16:16), ngoba uJesu wayazi ukuba ungubani - nokuthi angaba yini kithi-kunamandla okuguqula izimpilo zethu. UJesu uhlukile kakhulu ngoba imihlaba emibili iyashayisana kuYe: Izulu nomhlaba, okukaNkulunkulu nokomuntu.

Yebo, iGama Lakhe yigama elingaphezu kwawo wonke amagama, futhi amandla Akhe okuphefumula, ukuthambisa isivunguvungu, amandla okwenza izimangaliso awalandelwa. Noma kunjalo, futhi unguJesu ongumuntu, umngane woqobo owazi esibhekene nakho futhi osikhathalelayo. Kungakho iBhayibheli libuye limbize ngokuthi 'Emmanuel', uNkulunkulu unathi.Lifundisani iBhayibheli?"Ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda ngale ndlela izwe: Wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” JOHANE 3:16.38 Ngiyakholwa ukuthi nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, nakho okukhona, nakho okuzayo, namandla. KWABASEROMA 8:38Kusho ukuthini kimi?Ngakho-ke, ingabe uJesu uyakukhathalela? Yebo uyakwazi! Sikwazi kanjani lokhu? Imvamisa sizahlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yomlando wethu, ukwehluleka nokushiyeka kwethu. Isono sisehlukanise noNkulunkulu futhi asisoze sakwazi ukwenza okuthize ngesono sethu ngokuzithuthukisa noma ngemisebenzi emihle. Ngakho-ke singakwamukela kanjani ukuthi asizuzile? IBhayibheli lithi akukho lutho kuzo zonke okwendalo okunga ehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu (KwabaseRoma 8:38). Futhi ukwamukela uthando lukaNkulunkulu ukwethemba ukubekezela, ukuthethelela kanye nesimo sakhe esihle kithi. Nguye kuphela onamandla okusikhulula ezonweni, emahlonini nasekulahlisweni okusinika impilo yokugcwala. Ukuphela kokufanele sikwenze ukuphendukela kuye.Ngenzeni?Vuma uthando lwakhe namuhla. Vumela Yena ukuba akuthande njengoba unjalo, akagcini ngokukuthanda kepha uthokozela nawe.Ufuna ukuqhubeka nokufunda? Ukuqonda ubunikazi bakho obusha kuKristu kungokuhlangenwe nakho kokukhulula, ungafunda kabanzi ngakho ezindimeni ezilandelayo: 2 KwabaseKhorinte 5:17; KwabaseFiliphi 3:8-11

USUKU 3: UNGUBANI UMOYA OYINGCWELE?

Amanzi angaba khona ngezindlela ezintathu ezahlukahlukene (amanzi, igesi, iqhwa) bese iba yinto efanayo. Ngendlela efanayo, uNkulunkulu uzembula kithi ngokuthathu: uYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele (bona uMathewu 28:19). Munye kuphela uNkulunkulu, hhayi abathathu. Ngokumangazayo, usabathathu bonke ngasikhathi sinye. Ake sibheke umoya ongcwele. UMoya uza ukuhlala kithi lapho siba ngamaKhristu. Isikebhe esihamba ngomkhumbi sidinga umoya noma kungenjalo asizukuhamba. UMoya oNgcwele ungumoya ezisekelweni zempilo yomKristu ngamunye.Lifundisani iBhayibheli?7 Kodwa mina nginitshela iqiniso lokuthi kunilungele ukuba ngimuke; ngokuba uma ngingamuki, uMduduzi kayikuza kini; kepha uma ngimuka, ngiyakumthumela kini. 8 Lapho esefikile yena, uyakuqondisa izwe ngesono, nangokulunga, nangokwahlulela: 9 ngesono, ngokuba bengakholwa yimi; 10 ngokulunga, ngokuba ngiya kuBaba, ningabe nisangibona; 11 ngokwahlulela, ngokuba umbusi waleli zwe wahlulelwe. 12 “Ngise nokuningi okokunitshela, kodwa ningekuthwale manje. 13 Kepha nxa esefikile yena, uMoya weqiniso, uzakuniholela kulo lonke iqiniso; ngokuba akayikukhuluma ngokwakhe, kodwa lokho akuzwayo uyakukukhuluma, anibikele okuzayo. 14 Uyakungikhazimulisa, ngokuba uyakuthatha kokwami anibikele khona. 15 Konke uBaba anakho kungokwami; ngalokho-ke ngithe uyakuthatha kokwami, anibikele. NGOKUKAJOHANE 16:7-15Kusho ukuthini kimi?Ungubani uMoya oNgcwele? Ubizwa ngokuthi 'uMeluleki' (v7) okusho ukuthi umduduzi, umqinisi, umeluleki kanye nomsizi. Ubizwa nangokuthi 'nguMoya weQiniso' (v13). Kungani enikezwe thina? UMoya oNgcwele ungumsizi wakho (v7). UJesu wayengaba sendaweni eyodwa ngasikhathi sinye, kepha ngoMoya oNgcwele, angaba nezigidi zabantu ngasikhathi sinye. Kungakho kukuhle ukuthi uJesu wabuyela ezulwini (v7).Wenzani? Angakholisa ababengewona amaKhristu ukuthi baphendule isono sabo kuNkulunkulu (v8-10). Usisiza ukuba siqonde amaqiniso eBhayibheli (v13). Usitshela ngentando kaNkulunkulu kithina (v14). Usiholela ekukhulekeleni nasekukhazimuliseni uJesu (v14). Usivumela ukuthi siibone umusa omangalisayo kaNkulunkulu (v15). Kungakho ukwazi nokulalela uNkulunkulu kungenzeki ngaphandle koMoya oNgcwele! Bonga uNkulunkulu ngalo mngane nesipho esihle!Ngenzeni?Yiziphi izindlela oye wabona ngazo umsebenzi kaMoya Oyingcwele empilweni yakho? Thandaza ucele kuMoya oNgcwele ukuthi wenze eminye imisebenzi Yakhe empilweni yakho.Ufuna ukuqhubeka nokufunda?UHezekeli 37:1-10 ukunikeza isithombe esinamandla somthelela okhulayo uMoya oNgcwele onawo kumakholwa. Futhi bona uJohane 14:16-17

USUKU 4: ISIPHAMBANO Empini yesibili yomhlaba iqembu lososayensi lalakha ibhomu le-athomu. Omunye wosomakhenikhi waphosela isipanela entweni engokwazi ukuthi lokhu kuzodala ukuthi ibhomu liqhume ngemizuzwana, omunye wososayensi ufike lapho wabamba ispanela. Wasindisa izimpilo zabo bonke, kepha walahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yokuvezwa kwemisebe. Indaba efakazela umyalezo wesiphambano, lapho uJesu afela khona izono zethu ukuze thina singabhubhi. Lifundisani iBhayibheli? Yihora lesishagalolunye ekuseni lapho bembethela esiphambanweni. 25 Kwakuyihora lesithathu esembethela esiphambanweni. 26 Umbhalo wecala lakhe ubulotshiwe ngaphezulu wokuthi: INKOSI YABAJUDA. 27 Kwabethelwa kanye naye abaphangi ababili, omunye ngakwesokunene nomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakhe. 28 Kwase kugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: “Wabalwa kanye naboni.” 29 Abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo, bathi: “Eya wena odiliza ithempeli, ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu; 30 zisindise, wehle esiphambanweni.” 31 Kanjalo nabapristi abakhulu bambhinqa bebodwa kanye nababhali, bathi: “Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena.32 UKristu, iNkosi yakwa-Israyeli, makehle manje esiphambanweni, ukuze sibone, sikholwe.” Nababebethelwe kanye naye bamdumaza. 33 Sekufikile ihora lesithupha kwaba mnyama emhlabeni wonke, kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye. 34 Ngehora lesishiyagalolunye uJesu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa: “Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungishiyeleni na?” 35 Abanye kwababemi khona bekuzwa bathi: “Bheka, ubiza u-Eliya.” 36 Wayesegijima omunye, wagcwalisa ilula ngoviniga, walichoma emhlangeni, wamphuzisa, wathi: “Yekani, sibone uma u-Eliya eza ukumehlisa.” 37 UJesu wayesememeza ngezwi elikhulu, wafa. 38 Khona isihenqo sethempeli sadabuka kabili, kusukela phezulu kuze kufike phansi. 39 Kepha induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana naye imbona efa ngokunjalo, yathi: “Nempela lo muntu ube yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” NGOKUKAMARKU 15:25-39 Kusho ukuthini kimi? UJesu wafa ukufa okwesabekayo, okungenabulungiswa ukuze bonke abantu bakubone. Kepha kunokuthile okungabonakali futhi okubi kakhulu. Yena, ongenasono, wathola isijeziso sesono sethu ukuze thina sithethelelwe. Yikho wazizwa elahliwe nguYise (v.34). Ngenkathi 'ephefumula okokugcina', ikhethini lethempeli laklebhuka kabili - ngokwalo (v38). Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Kudala ngaphambi kokufika kukaJesu, amaJuda akha ithempeli. UNkulunkulu wayehlala kulo, endaweni eNgcwelengcwele. Akekho umuntu owayengangena ngesilenge ngaphandle koMpristi omkhulu kanye ngonyaka. Lokhu kwakhumbuza abantu ukuthi isono sabo simbi kakhulu futhi sibahlukanise noNkulunkulu. Kepha njengoba uJesu efa, ikhethini laklebulwa ngokungaphezulu kwemvelo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi umgoqo phakathi kwezoni (Yithina) noNkulunkulu wabhujiswa ngomnikelo ka Jesu! Umnyango manje uvulelwe ukuba siphile ngokusondelana noNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwezono zethu zangesikhathi esedlule, esezixolelwe manje. Izindaba ezinhle kanjani! UJesu unikeza ukukhululeka emsindweni nasebuhlotsheni obusondelene noNkulunkulu. Kunjalo-ke, lokhu kusebenza kithi kuphela uma sithola intethelelo Yakhe-ethengwe ngegazi futhi sihambe ngomnyango ovulekile, ngokubeka ukholo lwethu kuJesu nesiphambano. Ngenzeni? Ngabe usubekile ukholo lwakho ekufeni kukaJesu nokuthethelelwa kwezono zakho? Ngabe uke wakuthola ukugcwala kokubuyiselwa Kwakhe kabusha? Ufuna ukuqhubeka nokufunda? Bheka ama-Heberu 10:19-22 no-Isaya 53 (isiprofetho esiphawulekayo ngokuhlupheka kukaMesiya ozayo).

USUKU 5: UKHOLO KUKRESTU YEDWA

Intombazane encane yayifuna ukusondela kuNkulunkulu. Ngobunye ubusuku uNkulunkulu wamnika iphupho. Ephusheni wayefuna ukugibela idwala elikhulu ukuze afike kuNkulunkulu phezulu. Uzamile futhi wazama kodwa wangakwazi ukufika esicongweni. Ekhathele futhi edumele, wayekulungele ukudela futhi ehle ezansi. Wabe esebona i-trampoline ezansi edwaleni. Wadedela, futhi, esehla nge-trampoline, wafika escongweni kuNkulunkulu. Sisondela kanjani kuNkulunkulu? Yekela. Futhi gxuma.Lifundisani iBhayibheli?1 “Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki. Kholwani nguNkulunkulu, nikholwe nayimi. 2 Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu eziningi; uma bekungenjalo, bengiyakunitshela ukuthi ngiya ukunilungisela indawo. 3 Nanxa ngiya nginilungisela indawo, ngobuye ngize, nginibuyisele kimi ukuba lapho ngikhona nibe khona nani. 4 Nalapho ngiya khona niyayazi indlela.” 5 UTomase wathi kuye: “Nkosi, asazi lapho uya khona; siyazi kanjani indlela na?” 6 UJesu wathi kuye: “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami. 7Uma beningazi mina, beniyakumazi noBaba; kusukela manje niyamazi, nimbonile.” 8 UFiliphu wathi kuye: “Nkosi, sikhombise uYihlo, kusanele.” 9 UJesu wathi kuye: “Isikhathi esingaka nginani, awukangazi, Filiphu, na? Ongibonile mina ubonile uBaba; usho kanjani ukuthi: ‘Sikhombise uYihlo,’ na? NGOKUKAJOHANE 14:1-9Kusho ukuthini kimi?Ngeke size kuNkulunkulu ngokugibela idwala ngemizamo yethu yokuziphatha kanye nenkolo. UJesu weza ukuzosikhulula emangeni wokuthi singazisindisa. Singafinyelela ku Nkulunkulu kuphela ngokukholwa kuJesu nokufa kwakhe ngezono zethu (v16).Kungani kunezinkolo eziningi kangaka zomhlaba? Impendulo: Yonke imizamo yokufinyelela uNkulunkulu ngomzamo. I-Buddism ine-Eighthfold Path. I-Islam inemithetho emihlanu. AmaHindu aneKarma. UbuJuda bunayo iTorah. Yize lezi zinkolo zinikezela ngezinto zeqiniso nobuhle okufanele zibukelwe, zenza iphutha lokucabanga ukuthi singaphambanisa indlela yethu eya kuNkulunkulu. Bonke banikezela 'isitebhisi' kuNkulunkulu.Yini eyenza ubuKristu buhluke? Impendulo: Yize inkolo iyimzamo yabantu yokufinyelela uNkulunkulu, ubuKristu ngumzamo kaNkulunkulu wokufinyelela kubuntu. Njengoba singeke size kuye ngemizamo yethu, uza kithi njengoba sithembela emseni wakhe ongafanelwe! UKristu uluhlobo lwe-'trampoline' yomusa. Njengoba sithembela kuKristu singanqoba izinhliziyo ezikhathazekile (v1), ukwesaba ukufa (v3), nokungazi kokuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani ngempela (v7). KuJesu kuphela singathola indlela, iqiniso, impilo yangempela nobuhlobo bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu njengoBaba wethu (V6). Umusa omuhle kanjani!Ngenzeni?Ngabe usuyekile ukuthembela emandleni akho okuthola ukwamukelwa nguNkulunkulu? Ngabe manje uthembela ku-trampoline kaJesu kuphela, nasemseni wakhe ongafanelwe, ekwamukelweni kwakho nguNkulunkulu? Ngabe kukhona okuvimbayo ukuthi weqe? Ufuna ukuqhubeka nokufunda?Bheka kwabase-Efesu 2:8-10 nakwabaseRoma 10:2-4 ukubona ukuthi inkolo nemisebenzi emihle ingeke isisinde, kepha umusa kaNkulunkulu ungasindisa.SIYINI ISINYATHELO ESILANDELAYO?Ngabe ubhabhadisiwe ngamanzi?

Wathi kuye: “Nkosi, wena ugeza izinyawo zami na?” 7 UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Lokhu engikwenzayo awukwazi manje, kodwa uzakukuqonda emva kwalokhu.” 8 UPetru wathi kuye: “Awusoze wageza izinyawo zami naphakade.” UJesu waphendula wathi: “Uma ngingakugezi, awunasabelo nami.” 9 USimoni Petru wathi kuye: “Nkosi, akungabi yizinyawo zodwa kepha nezandla nekhanda.” 10 UJesu wathi kuye: “Ogeziweyo kadingi lutho, kuphela ukugezwa izinyawo, kepha ugezekile wonke. Nina-ke nigezekile, kodwa angisho nonke.” 11 Ngokuba emazi obezakumkhaphela kungalokho athi: “Anigezekile nonke.” 12 Esegeze izinyawo zabo wathabatha izingubo zakhe, wabuye wahlala, wathi kubo: “Niyakwazi yini engikwenzile kini na? 13 Ningibiza nithi: ‘Mfundisi, Nkosi;’ nisho kahle, ngokuba ngiyikho. 14 Uma-ke mina, iNkosi noMfundisi, ngigeze izinyawo zenu, nani-ke nifanele ukugezana izinyawo. 15 Ngokuba ngininikile isibonelo ukuba nenze nani njengokuba ngenzile kini. 16 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Inceku ayinkulu kunenkosi yayo, nothunyiweyo kamkhulu kunomthumileyo. 17 Uma nazi lokho, nibusisiwe uma nikwenza.

Kungani kufanele sikhonze abantu? Kufanele sikhonze abantu ngoba siyabathanda (v1). Kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi singobani kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu. (V3). Lolu lwazi lusenza futhi lwenze sizizwe sivikelekile, futhi olunikeza amandla okuthi sizithobe phambi kwabanye. Kufanele sithole izindlela zangempela ezisebenzayo zokusebenzela abanye (v5).
