Ukuze uqhubeke upheqe ngenkathi ulalele, dlala umsindo ewindini elisha.

Isifundo sethu sokuqala sivela eNcwadini ka Isaya, isahluko 40, amavesi 9-11:

Wena Ziyoni, oletha izindaba ezinhle, khuphukela entabeni ende; Jerusalema, wena oletha izindaba ezinhle, phakamisa izwi lakho ngamandla; liphakamise, ungesabi; yisho emizini yakwaJuda ukuthi: 'Nangu uNkulunkulu wenu!

Bheka, iNkosi uJehova iyakuza inesandla esinamandla, nengalo yayo iyakubusa; bheka, umvuzo wayo unayo, nomsebenzi wayo uphambi kwayo.

Iyakwelusa umhlambi wayo njengomalusi, ibuthe amawundlu ngengalo yayo, iwathwale esifubeni sayo, ihole kahle ezanyisayo. (Isaya 40:9-11) Amen.

Futhi isifundo sethu sesibili sivela eVangelini likaLuka, isahluko sesibili:

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kwaphuma isimemezelo kuKesari Awugustu sokuba kubalwe izwe lonke. Lokhu kubalwa okokuqala kwenziwa uKhureniyu engumbusi waseSiriya. Bonke bahamba bayobhaliswa, yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo.

UJosefa laye wakhuphuka eGalile, emzini waseNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavide othiwa iBetlehema; (ngokuba wayengowendlu nozalo lukaDavide); ukuba abhalwe kanye noMariya owayemthembise umshado, esekhulelwe.

Kwathi beselapho, zaphelela izinsuku zokuba abelethe. Wazala izibulo lakhe, wayisonga ngezindwangu, walilalisa emkhombeni; ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.

Kwakukhona abelusi kulelo zwe ababehlezi endle, belinda umhlambi wabo ebusuku. Bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yeza phezu kwabo, nenkazimulo yeNkosi yabakhanyisa nxazonke; besaba kakhulu.

Ingelosi yathi kubo: “Ningesabi; Ngokuba nizalelwe namuhla uMsindisi onguKristu iNkosi emzini kaDavide. Lokhu kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kini; Niyakufumana umntwana esongwe ngezingubo, elele emkhombeni.

Masinyane kwaba khona kanye nengelosi uquqaba lwebandla lasezulwini, ludumisa uNkulunkulu, luthi: Udumo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, nokuthula emhlabeni kubantu abathakazelelwayo.

Kwathi izingelosi sezimuka kubo ziya ezulwini, abelusi bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Masiye eBetlehema, sibone lokhu okwenzekileyo, uJehova esisazise khona. . Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bafica uMariya loJosefa, losane lulele emkhombeni.

Sebekubonile bamemezela izwi ababelitshelwe ngalo mntwana. Futhi bonke abezwayo bamangala ngalokho okwakukhulunywe kubo ngabelusi.

Kepha uMariya wagcina zonke lezi zinto, ezindla ngazo enhliziyweni yakhe.

Babuya abelusi, bemdumisa, bembonga uNkulunkulu ngakho konke ababekuzwile nabakubonile, njengalokho kwakukhulunyiwe kubo. (Luka 2:1-20) Amen.

Isifundo sethu sesithathu sivela ku-Apocalypse Revealed, izinombolo 705 futhi 158.

Bheka, ngiza njengesela; uyajabula lowo ophapheme futhi ogcina izingubo zakhe, ufanekisela ukuza kweNkosi, bese kuba izulu kulabo ababheke Kuye, futhi bahlale ekuphileni ngokwemithetho Yakhe, okungamaqiniso eZwi.... "Ukubuka" kufanekisa ukuphila ngokomoya, okungukuthi, ukuba seqinisweni nasempilweni evumelana nawo, nokubheka eNkosini,158); futhi “ukugcina izingubo zakhe” kusho ukuhlala kuyo kuze kube sekupheleni kokuphila; ngoba "izingubo" zisho amaqiniso okutshala imali, (166, 212, 328), kanjalo imiyalo yeNkosi eZwini, ngokuba lawa amaqiniso. (Ambulo sAmbuliwe 705)

Ngoku “bheka,” eZwini, akukho okunye okuboniswayo; ngoba ofunda amaqiniso futhi aphile ngawo, ufana nomuntu ovuswa ebuthongweni futhi ahlale elindile. Kodwa ongekho emaqinisweni, kodwa ekukhonzeni kuphela, ufana nolala aphuphe. Ukuphila kwemvelo, okucatshangwa ngokwakho, noma ngaphandle kokuphila komoya, akukho okunye ngaphandle kokulala; kepha ukuphila kwemvelo okukhona kukho ukuphila komoya kungukuqapha; futhi lokhu ngeke kuzuzwe ngenye indlela ngaphandle kwamaqiniso, asekukhanyeni kwawo kanye nasosukwini lwawo uqobo, lapho umuntu esekuphileni ngokuvumelana nawo. Okunjalo kufanekiselwa "ukubuka" ezindimeni ezilandelayo:

Lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi iNkosi iyakufika ngasiphi isikhathi,Mathewu 24:42).

Ziyajabula lezo zinceku okuyothi lapho inkosi ifika izithole zilindile: Ngakho-ke hlalani nilungile, ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izofika ngehora eningalicabangiyo.Luka 12:37, 40).

Lindani, ngokuba anazi ukuthi inkosi yendlu iyakufika nini; funa afike ngokuzuma, anifumane nilele; lokho engikusho kini ngikusho kubo bonke: Lindani,Marku 13:35-37). (Ambulo sAmbuliwe 158)

Lapha phetha izifundo zethu. INkosi mayingeze isibusiso sayo ekuzweni kwezwi layo. Amen. Egameni leNkosi uJesu Kristu, uYise iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele, Amen.

“Kwakukhona abelusi kulelo zwe ababehlezi endle belinda umhlambi wabo ebusuku.

Kunzima ukucabanga ngesigameko esinokuthula ukwedlula lesi. Sikubonile kuthwetshulwe emakhadini kaKhisimusi amaningi- abelusi endle ebusuku beqaphe izimvu zabo, endaweni ethile phakathi kwamagquma athambile aseJudiya nedolobhana laseBethlehema buqamama. Isimo sezulu kuleyo ngxenye yomhlaba sithambile futhi nomoya ucwebe kakhulu, futhi ngokuqinisekile zazingekho izibani ezikhanyayo zasedolobheni ngalezo zinsuku ezazizoqhudelana nezinkanyezi, ngakho isibhakabhaka sasebusuku kumelwe ukuba sasiwumbono okhazimulayo. Futhi manje, ngalobu busuku, inkazimulo enkulu nakakhulu yayisizobonakala kuwo. Isigcawu esihle nesinokuthula - kodwa hhayi ngokuphelele - ngoba kwakusebusuku, futhi ebumnyameni kungase kucashe izinto ezesabekayo. Impisi noma ingonyama noma ibhere noma ngisho nomuntu kwakungase kufike futhi kuthathe izimvu, ngakho abelusi bahlala bephapheme futhi bebhekile.

Akuyona ingozi ukuthi iNkosi yazalwa ebusuku, ngoba ubumnyama bobusuku buhambisana nesimo somoya esasikhona ebandleni emhlabeni ngaleso sikhathi. Kuncane kakhulu ukuhlakanipha okungokomoya okwasala. Isiprofetho sasendulo sase senzeka: “Bheka, ubumnyama buyosibekela umhlaba nesigayegaye abantu. Isimo sokungazi nokwesaba sasibusa. Ukukhanya kweqiniso kwase kunyamalele ngaphandle kwezinsalela ezincane zasendulo ezazisakhanya ezingqondweni zabanye njengezinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni ebusuku.

Izinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni zibukisa ngezinkanyezi ezingqondweni zabantu, okungukuthi, noma yiluphi ulwazi olumayelana neqiniso likamoya banalo ukuze zikhanyise ubumnyama bempilo yemvelo. Imibhalo isitshela ukuthi imiphakathi yezingelosi, ngenxa yobuhlakani bazo, ibonakala ezulwini njengezinkanyezi ezikhanyayo. Uquqaba lwezingelosi ezabonakala kubelusi kwakuyizingelosi ezazithanda ngokukhethekile ukutshela ngokufika kweNkosi, futhi kwakuyiwo lowo mphakathi wezingelosi owabonakala kwabahlakaniphileyo kude le empumalanga njengenkanyezi.

Bambalwa emhlabeni ababenesithakazelo ezindabeni ezijabulisayo zezingelosi, kodwa ngisho nasesibhakabhakeni esimnyama emhlabeni kwakunezinkanyezi. Kwakukhona abanye abahlala bethembekile, futhi nabantu abanjalo - nalabo abalangazelela ukukhanya kweqiniso ukuze baphile kahle - iNkosi igcina ukuqonda okwanele ukuze ukholo lwabo lukhuthazele. Asikhulekele ukuthi sibe phakathi kwabo. Njengoba izinkanyezi ezazikhanya esibhakabhakeni ebusuku zanikeza abelusi ukukhanya okwanele ukuba bagade izimvu zabo, kanjalo ngisho nezingxenye ezincane zeqiniso elivela eZwini zingasenza sikwazi ukuvikela nokulondoloza ubuhle esinabo ngaphakathi kithi obuvela eNkosini.

Izinkanyezi... ukukhanya kwazo kupholile futhi kukude futhi kufiphele njengezinye izinto ezisakhunjulwa isikhathi eside, ezikhohliwe kancane esake sazazi. Kodwa yeka ukuthi zinhle kangakanani izinkanyezi! Zibenyezela njengamatshe ayigugu achitheke ku-velvet emnyama. Banikeza ubungane obuzolile ebusuku. Zishukumisa umcabango, zisimema ukuthi sithole amaphethini kuzo. Ziyisiqondiso nenduduzo, ikakhulukazi kulabo abazidinga kakhulu - kubatilosi nabahambi ogwadule, abelusi abaqapha umhlambi wabo ebusuku. Kunjalo ngamaqiniso okholo lapho isibhakabhaka sengqondo simnyama, noma phakathi kweziphazamiso zalomhlaba wemvelo zikhunjulwa ngokufiphele, ukukhanya kwazo okubuthakathaka kuhle kakhulu futhi kwamukelekile.

Njengoba izinkanyezi zikude nomhlaba, kanjalo namaqiniso eZwi abonakala ekude futhi ewumcabango lapho sisesimweni sokuphila esihluke kakhulu kuleso esimelelwe yila maqiniso. Ngokwesibonelo, lapho sifunda eZwini ngokuthula okukhulu okukhona ezulwini, lokho kwaziswa kubonakala kukude kakhulu lapho kunokuthula okuncane ekuphileni kwethu. Kuyafana maqondana nentokozo yasezulwini, mayelana nenjabulo izingelosi ezinayo ekukhonzeni iNkosi nezinye izinto eziningi: uthando lokuhlangana, ukwaneliseka, nokuthembela ekuphatheni kwaphezulu, nawo wonke amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo akha ukuhlakanipha kwezingelosi. . Siyazazi lezi zinto futhi siyakholelwa kuzo, kodwa mhlawumbe zimelela into efiselekayo engaphezu kweqiniso lamanje. Kunesici esingokwesiprofetho kuwo wonke amaqiniso, isithembiso sokuhle okungafezwa. Wonke amaqiniso achaza isimo sempilo esingase senzeke kithi. Uma kuyisimo esibi, iqiniso ngaso liyisixwayiso. Uma kukuhle, iqiniso ngakho liyisithembiso sesibusiso esiseza. Iziprofetho eziphathelene nokuzalwa kukaJehova zaziyisithembiso nesixwayiso. Babikezela injabulo enkulu kulabo ababezomamukela, nokubhujiswa kwabamelene Naye. “Ngokuba bheka luyeza usuku oluvutha njengeziko, nabo bonke abaziqhenyayo, yebo, bonke abenza okubi bayakuba ngamabibi, nosuku oluzayo luyakubashisa. vuka unokuphulukisa emaphikweni akhe. (Malaki 4:1-2)

Futhi-ke, eVangelini likaLuka amazwi kaSimeyoni omdala lapho iNkosi ilethwa ethempelini isewusana: “Bheka lo mntwana umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi kwaIsrayeli, nesibonakaliso esiyokhulunywa. ngokumelene, ukuze kwambulwe imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi.

Indaba yokuzalwa kweNkosi isikhumbuza ukuthi siqaphele hleze siwele ekubhujisweni kwesifiso noma umqondo omubi, futhi isikhumbuza futhi ngenqwaba yezibusiso ezathenjiswa ukufika Kwakhe. “Bheka ezulwini, ubale izinkanyezi, uma ungazibala,” kusho uJehova ku-Abrahama, “iyakuba njalo inzalo yakho.” Izinkanyezi zimelela zonke izinto ezinhle neziyiqiniso ezilethwa ukuba khona kweNkosi. Zonke lezi zinto, lezi zintokozo zempilo yasezulwini, zingahle zingabi yiqiniso lamanje ezimpilweni zethu, kodwa kuhle ukwazi ngazo njengezinto okumelwe sithembele kuzo futhi sizibheke futhi sizilwele. Njengoba izinkanyezi zikhulula ubumnyama bobusuku, kanjalo nasesikhathini sasebusuku somphefumulo, amaqiniso okholo avela eZwini anikeza ithemba nenduduzo.

Njengoba abantu bebuka izinkanyezi futhi bethola amaphethini kubo- amakhosi nezindlovukazi, amaqhawe nezilwane ezihlukahlukene- ngakho singathola ngisho nasemaqinisweni ambalwa okholo ahlakazekile incazelo yokuphila ezweni elimnyama. Lapho sazi kangcono, kodwa ngisho nolwazi oluncane lweZwi leNkosi lwanele ukuba sithole injongo yokuphila uma sibheka.

Ukwazi izinto kuhlukile ekuboneni iqiniso lazo, kodwa ulwazi lubalulekile. Akekho ongakwazi ukubona lokho angakwazi futhi akukholelwe. Ithi ku-Arcana Coelestia ukuthi asikwazi ukuphiwa ikhono lokubona okuhle kothando kanye neqiniso lokukholwa ngaphandle kolwazi ukuze sazi ukuthi ziyini nokuthi zinjani.

Umehluko phakathi kokwazi nokubona umehluko phakathi kwenkanyezi nelanga. Asifuni ukukholelwa kwethu eNkosini kuhlale kuyinkanyezi ekude kodwa kukhule kuze kube yilapho sizwa ukuba khona kwakhe nathi njengelanga lasezulwini, liphuma “linokuphulukisa emaphikweni aKhe”, njengoba kusho kuMalaki - efudumele, futhi ekhazimulayo. uthando nokuphila. Sifuna ukufika kweNkosi kungabi nje iqiniso elikude nomlando kodwa kube iqiniso lamanje neliphilayo ezimpilweni zethu ezisithintayo. Sifuna kube yinto esingayazi nje kuphela, kodwa into esiyibona iyiqiniso nesizizwa iyiqiniso. Lokhu kuwukwazi kwangempela kunokwazi nje.

“Bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yeza phezu kwabo, nenkazimulo yeNkosi yabakhanyisa nxazonke.

Izinkanyezi nesibhakabhaka kwahlangana kwaba ukukhanya okukodwa okukhazimulayo okwaphuma kukho izwi lomuntu ophilayo, kwase kuba iphimbo eliphelele, elimemezela izindaba ezijabulisa kakhulu zokuthi iNkosi yayizelwe. Yini esingayenza ukuze sizilungiselele ukubona inkazimulo yeNkosi ikhanya eduze kwethu, futhi nokwamukela lezi zindaba ezinhle? Indaba yabelusi iqukethe impendulo. Qaphela ukuthi babenzani: babeqapha izimvu zabo. Ngamanye amazwi, kalula nje, babehileleke ekusebenzeni kokusetshenziswa kwabo ekuphileni. Bebesemsebenzini. Umsebenzi wethu - ukusebenzisa kwethu ekuphileni - uhlanganisa izinto eziningi, kodwa okubaluleke kunakho konke umsebenzi wokukhula nokuthuthuka ngokomoya - umsebenzi wokuvuselela.

Ngempela yiNkosi ngokwayo, uMalusi olungileyo, owenza lokhu, kodwa kumelwe sibambisane ngokuzuza kuYe indlela akwenza ngayo—okungamaqiniso angokomoya. Isizathu sokuthi iNkosi isebenze ngale ndlela ukuthi igcina inkululeko yethu kanye nokuhluzeka kwengqondo yethu, wona kanye amakhono asenza abantu. Singakwazi futhi kumelwe sikhethe ngokukhululekile ukusebenzisa izingqondo zethu kule njongo.

Umalusi, ngokomoya, yilowo ofundisa iqiniso futhi ngalo liholela ekuphileni okuhle. Ngakho ukuze sibe abelusi abathembekile, kudingeka sifunde amaqiniso eZwini ukuze sikwazi ukubona okuhle nokubi, futhi sikhulise ngokuphumelelayo okunye futhi silahle okunye.

Abelusi babegadile. Ngenxa yobubi emfuzweni wethu wemvelo nasezweni elisizungezile, nathi kumelwe siqaphe. Okungukuthi, kufanele siqaphe isimo sezimpilo zethu futhi sivikele futhi sondle uthando oluhle esinalo oluvela eNkosini. Abelusi abagade izimvu zabo bafanekisela umuntu ozelwe kabusha eqapha futhi elondoloza izinsalela zokungabi nacala kuye. Ukuthi “ukubuka”, iMibhalo iyachaza, ifanekisa ukuphila ngokomoya – okungukuthi, ukuba seqinisweni nasempilweni ehambisana nawo, nokubheka eNkosini. Kodwa kumelwe siqaphele ukuba sigweme ukuvumela amazwi anjengokuthi “ukuphila ngokomoya” nelithi “ukubheka enkosini” abe amazwi nje angasho lutho. Ukuphila ngokomoya kusho ukubeka izinto ezingokomoya kuqala hhayi nje ukuphilela ukwaneliseka okungokwemvelo. Kusho ukuhlakulela ukwazisa ngezinto zokuphila okuphakade - ukucabanga ngalezo zinto, ukuzindla ngazo, nokufunda ukuzazisa nokuthola induduzo kuzo, nokuba seduze kuzo ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinto zangaphandle kulomhlaba. Ukubheka eNkosini kusho ukufunda iZwi nokuthandazela usizo lweNkosi nokuholwa. Kudingeka sicabange ngokuthi lezi zinto zisho ukuthini.

Ukuqapha kuwukufunda izinto iNkosi eyambulele zona, sicabange ngazo, futhi sizame ngobuqotho ukuphila ngazo. Lokhu kuhilela isilinganiso esithile sokuzicabangela, ukubheka izimo zempilo yakho, ukuqaphela amathonya ayingozi. Futhi, kuhilela ukuvikela nokondla noma yini enhle neyiqiniso kithi. Lokhu kuyinto ngamunye wethu, umuntu ngamunye, okudingeka acabange ngayo - ukwenza kanjani lokhu - ukuthi kusho ukuthini ngempela futhi ngokuqondile empilweni yethu - kodwa ukuqaphela nokukhulisa nokuvikela noma yikuphi okuhle esinakho okuvela eNkosini ngoba leli ithemba lethu. .

Sengathi ukugubha kwethu ukuzalwa kweNkosi kulo nyaka nonyaka nonyaka kungasebenza ukuvusa uthando oluhle nolumsulwa uJehova alugcinile, futhi alubhekile komunye nomunye wethu. Kwangathi kungaqinisa ukuzimisela kwethu ukuba abelusi abathembekile, sisabela ngokumangala nokubonga nenjabulo enkulu ezindabeni ezinhle ezivela ezulwini.

“Ngokuba nizalelwe namuhla uMsindisi onguKristu iNkosi emzini kaDavide.” Amen

Manje, kuNkulunkulu oyedwa uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu makube inkazimulo namandla kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen
