Ukuzalwa Ngokutsha—Yintoni Injongo Yako?
ABANTU abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba umntu ufanele azalwe ngokutsha ukuze asindiswe ngonaphakade. Khawuphawule oko kwathethwa nguYesu ngenjongo yokuzalwa ngokutsha. Wathi: “Ngaphandle kokuba nabani na azalwe kwakhona, akanakububona ubukumkani bukaThixo.” (Yohane 3:3) Ngaloo ndlela umntu ufanele azalwe ngokutsha ukuze angene eBukumkanini bukaThixo—kungekhona ukuze asindiswe. ‘Kodwa,’ abanye basenokuthi, ‘kanti la mabinzana mabini—ukungena eBukumkanini nokusindiswa—akathethi into enye na?’ Akunjalo. Ukuze uwuqonde kakuhle umahluko, masiqale sithethe ngentsingiselo yebinzana elithi “ubukumkani bukaThixo.”
Ubukumkani luhlobo oluthile lukarhulumente. Ngaloo ndlela ibinzana elithi “ubukumkani bukaThixo” lithetha “urhulumente kaThixo.” IBhayibhile ifundisa ukuba uYesu Kristu, “unyana womntu,” nguKumkani woBukumkani bukaThixo nokuba kukho abantu aza kulawula nabo. (Daniyeli 7:1, 13, 14; Mateyu 26:63, 64) Ukongezelela koko, kumbono owanikwa umpostile uYohane kwachazwa ukuba aba balawuli kunye noKristu ngabantu abakhethwe “kuzo zonke izizwe neelwimi nabantu neentlanga” yaye baya “kulawula njengookumkani phezu komhlaba.” (ISityhilelo 5:9, 10; 20:6) ILizwi likaThixo liphinda lityhile ukuba abo baza kulawula njengokumkani ‘ngumhlambi mncinane’ wabantu abali-144 000 “abathengwe emhlabeni.”—Luka 12:32; ISityhilelo 14:1, 3.
Bumiselwe phi uBukumkani bukaThixo? “UBukumkani bukaThixo” bukwabizwa nangokuba ‘bubukumkani bamazulu,’ nto leyo ebonisa ukuba uYesu nabanye ookumkani aza kulawula nabo baza kulawula besezulwini. (Luka 8:10; Mateyu 13:11) Ngaloo ndlela, uBukumkani bukaThixo ngurhulumente wasezulwini obunjwa nguYesu Kristu neqela labalandeli bakhe abakhethwe phakathi koluntu.
Wayethetha ukuthini ke ngoko uYesu xa wayesithi, ubani umele azalwe kwakhona ukuze “angene ebukumkanini bukaThixo”? Wayethetha ukuba umntu umele azalwe kwakhona ukuze alawule noKristu ezulwini. Ngamafutshane, ukuzalwa ngokutsha kulungiselelwe iqaqobana labantu abaza kulawula ezulwini.
Ngoku, sibonile ukuba ukuzalwa ngokutsha kubalulekile, kuvela kuThixo yaye kulungiselelwe ibathwana labantu abaza kulawula ezulwini. Kodwa ke, oku kuzalwa ngokutsha kwenzeka njani?
