UYesu yiNtloko yebandla lamaKristu. (Efese 5:23) Namhlanje, uYesu esezulwini, ukhokela abalandeli bakhe abasemhlabeni esebenzisa ‘ikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi.’ (Funda uMateyu 24:45.) Eli ‘khoboka’ lamiselwa nguYesu ibe uyalivumela ukuba lenze izigqibo ezithile. Kodwa ke limele lithobele uKristu lize lisebenzele abazalwana bakhe. Ngubani eli khoboka? Lisikhathalela njani?

1. Ngubani “olikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi”?

UYehova ubesoloko esebenzisa amadoda ambalwa okanye umntu omnye ukuze akhokele abantu bakhe. (Malaki 2:7; Hebhere 1:1) Emva kokufa kukaYesu, yayingabapostile nabadala ababekhokela eYerusalem. (IZenzo 15:2) Ngokufanayo, namhlanje kukho iqela elincinci labadala abakhokelayo. Eli qela kuthiwa liQumrhu Elilawulayo LamaNgqina KaYehova. Lisinika izinto ezisinceda sibe ngabahlobo bakaYehova ibe likhokela nomsebenzi wokushumayela. IQumrhu Elilawulayo, ‘likhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi elanikwa nguYesu umsebenzi.’ (Mateyu 24:45a) Bonke abazalwana abakwiQumrhu Elilawulayo ngamaKristu athanjisiweyo. Bajonge phambili kwixesha apho baza kulawula noYesu eBukumkanini bakhe basezulwini, emva kokusweleka kwabo.

2. Yintoni oku kutya kuqinisa ukholo ikhoboka elithembekileyo elisinika kona?

UYesu wathi ikhoboka elithembekileyo liza kunika abazalwana noodade “ukutya kwabo ngexesha elifanelekileyo.” (Mateyu 24:45b) Ukutya esikutyayo kusinceda sibe sempilweni size sihlale somelele. Ngokufanayo, ukutya okuqinisa ukholo okuphuma eLizwini likaThixo, kusinika amandla okuhlala sithembekile kuYehova size senze umsebenzi esawunikwa nguYesu. (1 Timoti 4:6) Oku kutya sikufumana kwiintlanganiso, kwiindibano ezinkulu nezincinci, kwiincwadi ezithetha ngeBhayibhile nakwiividiyo ezisinceda sazi izinto uThixo azifunayo, size sisondele kakhulu kuye.
