1. Ngubani uJesu?

UJesu yingilosi elamandla esezulwini. UJehova waqala ngokudala uJesu engakadali ezinye izinto. Yikho iBhayibhili lisithi ‘ulizibulo lakho konke okwadalwayo.’ (KwabaseKholose 1:15) Uphinda abizwe ngokuthi ‘yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa’ ngoba nguye yedwa owadalwa nguNkulunkulu ngokwakhe. (UJohane 3:16) UJesu wasetshenziswa nguYise uJehova ekudaleni zonke ezinye izinto. (Bala iZaga 8:30.) UJesu ubizwa langokuthi ‘nguLizwi’ ngoba ungumkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu. UJesu uyayikholisa yonke imisebenzi ayenzela uYise ngoba uyamthanda kakhulu.—UJohane 1:14.

U-Adamu lo-Eva abazange balalele uNkulunkulu futhi ukungalaleli kwabo kwabangela isono, ukuhlupheka lokufa.a Lanxa kunjalo, uJehova wenza indlela yokusikhulula esonweni lasekufeni esebenzisa iNdodana yakhe uJesu Khristu. IBhayibhili lifundisa ukuthi ukufa kukaJesu kwaba yinhlawulo yabantu bonke. Inhlawulo yimbadalo ekhitshwayo ukuze kukhululwe umuntu othunjiweyo. UJesu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe okupheleleyo ukuze asihlawulele. (Bala uMathewu 20:28.) UJesu wayengakhetha ukuzihlalela emhlabeni kuze kube nini lanini, kodwa wakhetha ukusifela futhi lokhu kwasivulela ithuba lokuphinda sithole ukuphila okungapheliyo okwalahlwa ngu-Adamu lo-Eva. Inhlawulo itshengisa ukuthi uJehova loJesu bayasithanda. Esifundweni lesi sizaxoxa ngokuthi ukufa kukaJesu kusinceda njani.

Zinengi izinto esizenzayo ezidanisa uJehova ngenxa yokuthi silesono. Kodwa nxa sifuna ukuba ngabangane bakhe kumele sizimisele ukungazenzi ngabomo lezozinto njalo simcele ukuthi asithethelele esebenzisa inhlawulo kaJesu Khristu. (1 UJohane 2:1) IBhayibhili lithi: “UKhristu wafela izono kwaba kanye kuphela, umuntu olungileyo efela abangalunganga, ukuze alikhokhele elisa kuNkulunkulu.”—1 UPhetro 3:18.

2. Ukufa kukaJesu kuzasinceda njani ngesikhathi esizayo?

UJehova wathuma iNdodana yakhe engelasono ukuthi izosifela “ukuze wonke umuntu otshengisa ukuthi uyakholwa kuyo angabhujiswa kodwa abe lokuphila okungapheliyo.” (UJohane 3:16) Sekuseduze ukuthi uJehova asebenzise uJesu ukuqeda zonke izinto ezimbi ezabangelwa yikungalaleli kuka-Adamu. Nxa sifuna ukuphila kuze kube nini lanini emhlabeni olipharadayisi kumele sibe lokholo enhlawulweni kaJesu.—U-Isaya 65:21-23.
