Kungani Usuku Lokwahlulela Luyoba Isikhathi Esijabulisayo?
Ngezikhathi zeBhayibheli, uNkulunkulu wasebenzisa abahluleli ukuze asindise abantu bakhe ekuphathweni ngendlela engenabulungisa. (AbaHluleli 2:18) IBhayibheli lichaza Usuku Lokwahlulela oluzayo njengesikhathi esijabulisayo, lapho uJehova, uMahluleli womhlaba wonke, eyosindisa khona isintu ekungabini nabulungisa.—Funda iHubo 96:12, 13; Isaya 26:9.
UNkulunkulu umise uJesu ukuba ahlulele ngobulungisa kokubili abaphilayo nabafileyo. (IzEnzo 10:42; 17:31) Abantu abaningi bafa bengamazi uNkulunkulu. Phakathi noSuku Lokwahlulela, uJesu uyobavusa abantu abanjalo ukuze bazi futhi bathande uNkulunkulu weqiniso.—Funda izEnzo 24:15.
