Ngubani Losisebenti Lesetsembekile Nalesihlakaniphile?

Ngekushesha ngembikwekufa kwakhe, Jesu wacoca nebafundzi bakhe labane​—Phetro, Jakobe, Johane na-Andreya. Njengobe Jesu abebiketela ngeluphawu lwekuba khona kwakhe emalangeni ekugcina, wabuta lombuto lobalulekile: “Pho, ngubani losisebenti lesetsembekile nalesihlakaniphile, inkhosi yaso lesimise etikwebendlu yayo, kutsi sibanike kudla ngesikhatsi lesifanele?” (Matewu 24:3, 45; Makho 13:3, 4) Jesu abecinisekisa bafundzi bakhe kutsi yena ‘njengenkhosi’ yabo, abetawubeka bantfu labebatawuchubeka balungiselela balandzeli bakhe kudla kwakamoya emalangeni ekugcina. Bobani labebatawuba ngulesigaba sesisebenti?

Licembu lelincane lebalandzeli baJesu labagcotjiwe. ‘Lesisebenti’ sihlobene kakhulu neSingungu Lesibusako saBoFakazi BaJehova. Sikhiphela labo labakhonta nabo Jehova kudla kwakamoya ngesikhatsi lesifanele. Siyasidzinga lesisebenti lesetsembekile kutsi sichubeke sisinika ‘kudla lokusifanele ngesikhatsi lesifanele.’​—Lukha 12:42.

Sinakekela indlu yaNkulunkulu. (1 Thimothi 3:15) Jesu wanika lesisebenti umsebenti lomkhulu wekunakekela lokwentiwa yincenye yasemhlabeni yenhlangano yaJehova​—kunakekela tintfo tayo letiphatsekako, kucondzisa umsebenti wekushumayela nekusifundzisa emabandleni. Ngako-ke, kute sisinikete loko lesikudzingako ngesikhatsi lesifanele, ‘lesisebenti lesetsembekile nalesihlakaniphile’ sikhicita tincwadzi lesitisebentisa ensimini siphindze sisentele tinhlelo lesiba nato emihlanganweni lemincane nalemikhulu.

Lesisebenti setsembekile emacinisweni eliBhayibheli nasemsebentini lesiniketwe wona wekushumayela tindzaba letimnandzi. Sihlakaniphile nangendlela lesinakekela ngayo tintfo lesitiphatsiswe nguKhristu tasemhlabeni. (Imisebenti 10:42) Jehova uyawubusisa umsebenti waso ngekutsi advonse bantfu babe boFakazi bakhe futsi uyasisita lesisebenti kutsi sichubeke sisiniketa imfundvo lenyenti ngaye.​—Isaya 60:22; 65:13.
