[Thuthuzelani abanye] . . . ngendlela nathi esithuthuzelwe ngayo nguThixo.—2 Kor. 1:4.
UYehova uyabahlaziya aze abathuthuzele abantu abasentlungwini. Sinokuyilinganisa njani indlela uYehova abavela nabathuthuzela ngayo abantu? Enye indlela esinokuyilinganisa ngayo kukuzama ukuba neempawu eziza kusinceda sibavele size sibathuthuzele. Zeziphi ezinye zezo mpawu? Yintoni eza kusinceda singayeki ukuba nothando oluza kusenza ‘sihlale sithuthuzelana’? (1 Tes. 4:18) Kufuneka sisebenzele ukuba neempawu ezifana nokuvelana, ukuthandana njengabazalwana nobubele. (Kol. 3:12; 1 Pet. 3:8) Ziza kusinceda njani? Xa sibavela abazalwana noodade size sibakhathalele nyhani, siza kukufuna ukubathuthuzela xa besentlungwini. Kaloku uYesu wathi, “umlomo uthetha izinto ezigcwele entliziyweni. Umntu olungileyo ukhupha izinto ezintle kwizinto ezintle abezigcinile.” (Mat. 12:34, 35) Indlela ebalulekileyo yokubabonisa ukuba siyabathanda abazalwana noodade kukubathuthuzela xa besengxakini. w23.11 10 ¶10-11

Bona abantu abanengqiqo baza kuqonda.—Dan. 12:10.
Ukuze siziqonde iziprofeto, kufuneka sicele uncedo. Makhe siyizekelise ngale ndlela le nto. Khawube nombono wakho usiya kwindawo ongayaziyo, kodwa umhlobo ohamba naye uyazi kakuhle le ndawo. Wazi kakuhle ukuba niphi, neendlela enidlula kuzo uyazazi ukuba ziya phi. Ngokuqinisekileyo uza kuyivuyela into yokuba loo mhlobo wakho evumile ukuhamba nawe. UYehova uyafana naloo mhlobo, uyazi ukuba sindawoni nokuba siya phi. Ngoko ukuze siziqonde iziprofeto eziseBhayibhileni, simele sizithobe sicele uYehova asincede. (Dan. 2:28; 2 Pet. 1:19, 20) Njengaye nawuphi na umzali obathandayo abantwana bakhe, uYehova ufuna abantwana bakhe bonwabe kwixesha elizayo. (Yer. 29:11) Ngokungafaniyo nabazali abangabantu, uYehova uyakwazi ukuyixela kanye ngendlela eza kwenzeka ngayo into eza kwenzeka kwixesha elizayo. Wenza ukuba kwiLizwi lakhe kubhalwe izinto ezibalulekileyo eziza kwenzeka ukuze sizazi ngaphambi kokuba zenzeke.—Isa. 46:10. w23.08 8 ¶3-4

Siza kutsho sibone ukukhanya kuvela ezulwini.—Luka 1:78.
UThixo unike uYesu amandla okulungisa zonke iingxaki abanazo abantu. Xa wayesenza imimangaliso wayebonisa ukuba unawo amandla okulungisa zonke iingxaki ebesingenakukwazi ukuzilungisa ngokwethu. Ngokomzekelo, unamandla okusikhulula kwisono esisenza sibe neengxaki ezifana nokugula nokufa. (Mat. 9:1-6; Roma 5:12, 18, 19) Imimangaliso awayeyenza ibonisa ukuba angakwazi ukuphilisa zonke iintlobo zezigulo nokuvusa abantu abaswelekileyo. (Mat. 4:23; Yoh. 11:43, 44) Unawo namandla okuphelisa isaqhwithi nokukhulula abantu kwiidemon. (Marko 4:37-39; Luka 8:2) Kuyathuthuzela ukwazi ukuba uYehova unike unyana wakhe amandla okwenza zonke ezi zinto! Simele siqiniseke ukuba izinto ekuthenjiswe ukuba ziza kwenzeka kuBukumkani BukaThixo, ziza kwenzeka nyhani. Imimangaliso uYesu awayeyenza xa wayelapha emhlabeni isibonisa into aza kuyenza emhlabeni wonke xa enguKumkani woBukumkani BukaThixo. w23.04 3 ¶5-7
