³ Kunebufakazi lobubili lobusenta siphetse ngekutsi lilanga lesikhombisa belisachubeka ekhulwini lekucala C.E. Kwekucala, cabanga ngemavi aJesu lawasho kubaphikisi bakhe labebamgceka ngekutsi uphilisa ngeliSabatha, lebebacabanga kutsi kungumsebenti.

Njengobe Babe abesolomane asebenta ngeliSabatha, futsi usasebenta nanyalo, nami-ke ngingasebenta ngeliSabatha.’ Lamavi aveta kutsi ngesikhatsi saJesu bekusolo kulilanga lesikhombisa, lilanga laNkulunkulu lekuphumula.a

5. Yayiyini injongo yelilanga lesikhombisa, futsi leyo njongo itawugcwaliseka nini?

⁵ Kute siphendvule lowo mbuto, kufanele sikhumbule injongo yelilanga lesikhombisa. Genesisi 2:3 uyayichaza: “Nkulunkulu walibusisa lilanga lesikhombisa, walingcwelisa.” Jehova wangcwelisa lelo langa ngobe walikhetsa kutsi kube ngilo lafeza ngalo injongo yakhe. Injongo yakhe kutsi emhlabeni kugcwale bantfu labalalelako labatawunakekela, baphindze banakekele nako konkhe lokuphila kuwo. (Gen. 1:28) Ngako-ke, sizatfu lesenta Nkulunkulu Jehova kanye naJesu Khristu, ‘loyiNkhosi yeliSabatha,’ kutsi ‘bachubeke basebenta kute kube manje’ kutsi bafuna leyo njongo igcwaliseke. (Mat. 12:8) Lilanga laNkulunkulu lekuphumula litawuchubeka kute kube ngulapho injongo yakhe seyigcwalisekile. Loku kutawukwenteka ekupheleni kweMinyaka Leyinkhulungwane.
