Kutheni AmaNgqina KaYehova Engayi Emfazweni?

AmaNgqina kaYehova akayi emfazweni ngenxa yezi zizathu:

1. Athobela uThixo. IBhayibhile ithi abakhonzi bakaThixo baya ‘kuwakhanda amakrele abo abe ngamakhuba, yaye abayi kuphinda bafunde mfazwe.’—Isaya 2:4.

2. Athobela uYesu. UYesu waxelela umpostile uPetros oku: “Buyisela ikrele lakho endaweni yalo, kuba bonke abathabatha ikrele baya kutshabalala ngekrele.” (Mateyu 26:52) Kule vesi uYesu ubonisa ukuba abalandeli bakhe babengamele basebenzise izixhobo zokulwa.

   Abafundi bakaYesu bathobela umyalelo wakhe wokuba ‘bangabi yinxalenye yehlabathi’ ngokuthi bangangeneleli ezopolitiko. (Yohane 17:16) Abangeneleli kwizinto zomkhosi okanye banqande abo bafuna ukuba semkhosini.

3. Athanda abantu. UYesu wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba ‘bathandane.’ (Yohane 13:34, 35) Ngenxa yokuba babeza kuba yintsapho enye esehlabathini lonke, babengazi kulwa nabazalwana okanye oodade abakwamanye amazwe.—1 Yohane 3:10-12.

4. Umzekelo wamaKristu exesha likaYesu. IEncyclopedia of Religion and War ithi: “Abalandeli bakaYesu bokuqala babengayi emfazweni nasemkhosini,” kuba babesazi ukuba oko “kunxamnye nothando lukaYesu nesibongozo sakhe sokuba bathande iintshaba zabo.” Ethetha ngala maKristu, umfundisi waseJamani, uPeter Meinhold wathi: “Ukuba ngumKristu uze kwangaxeshanye ube lijoni kwakujongwa njengokudibanisa izinto ezingadibaniyo.”

Ukunceda abahlali

AmaNgqina kaYehova aluncedo yaye akabangeli ngxaki kumazwe ahlala kuwo. Siyawahlonipha amagunya ngenxa yalo myalelo weBhayibhile:

• ‘Wathobeleni amagunya awongamileyo.’—Roma 13:1.

• “Buyiselani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, kodwa izinto zikaThixo kuThixo.”—Mateyu 22:21.

Ngoko sithobela umthetho, sibhatale irhafu yaye siyasebenzisana neenzame zikarhulumente zentlalo-ntle.
