Intsomi 3: Bonke Abantu Abalungileyo Baya Ezulwini

Yavela phi le ntsomi?

Emva kokufa kwabapostile bakaYesu, ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesibini yeXesha Eliqhelekileyo kwavela Abaseki BeCawa. INew Catholic Encyclopedia (2003), Umqulu 6, kwiphepha 687 ithi xa ichaza iimfundiso zabo: “Eyona nto yayifundiswa yayikukuba uyolo lwasezulwini lufunyanwa ngumphefumlo ophume emzimbeni ngoko nangoko emva kokuba uye wahlanjululwa.”

Ifundisa ntoni yona iBhayibhile?

“Banoyolo abo banomoya wobulali, kuba baya kuwudla ilifa umhlaba.”—Mateyu 5:5.

Nangona uYesu wathembisa abafundi bakhe ukuba wayeza kubalungiselela indawo ezulwini, akazange athi bonke abantu abalungileyo baza kuya apho. (Yohane 3:13; 14:2, 3) Khumbula ukuba uYesu wathandazela ukuba ukuthanda kukaThixo “kwenziwe emhlabeni, njengasezulwini.” (Mateyu 6:9, 10) Amalungisa aza kuya kwiindawo ezimbini. Iqaqobana lawo liza kulawula ezulwini noKristu, aze amaninzi kuwo aphile apha emhlabeni ngonaphakade.—ISityhilelo 5:10.

Njengoko iminyaka yayihamba, icawa yayitshintsha indima yayo emhlabeni. Lwaphumela entwenini olo tshintsho? IThe New Encyclopædia Britannica ithi: “Icawa yabuthathela indawo uBukumkani bukaThixo obabulindelwe ngabantu.” Icawa yafumana amandla angakumbi ngokungenelela kwipolitiki, ngaloo ndlela igatya isiluleko sikaYesu esicacileyo sokuba abalandeli bakhe babengafanele babe ‘yinxalenye yehlabathi.’ (Yohane 15:19; 17:14-16; 18:36) Icawa yaphenjelelwa nguMlawuli waseRoma uConstantine ukuba ingxenge ezinye zeenkolelo zayo, kuquka nokuba unjani kanye kanye uThixo.
