Psalms 127:1-2.
Uma uJehova engayakhi indlu, basebenzela ize abayakhayo; uma uJehova engalondolozi umuzi, umlindi wawo ulindela ize. Kuyize kini ukuba nivuke ekuseni, nephuze ukuphumula, nidle isinkwa sezinhlupheko, ngokuba uyamupha othandiweyo wakhe esalele.
Genesis 6:13-14, 17-18, 22
“…Ukuphela kwenyama yonke kufikile phambi kwami, ngokuba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabantu; bheka, ngiyakubachitha kanye nomhlaba. Yakha umkhumbi ngemithi yegofere,* wenze amakamelo emkhunjini, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi nangaphandle ngekolitayi.* Mina, bheka, mina ngizakuzisa uzamcolo wamanzi emhlabeni ukuba achithe yonke inyama okukuyo umoya wokuphila phansi kwezulu; konke okusemhlabeni kuzakufa. Kepha ngiyakumisa isivumelwano sami nawe, uze ungene emkhunjini, wena namadodana akho, nomkakho, nabafazi bamadodana akho bekanye nawe. UNowa wenze njalo; njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile wakwenza.
Ngesikhathi sokubusa kwe nkosi uJehoshaphat kwabuya ukufundisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu kwaJuda wonke okwakuyinto eyabe isivaliwe ingasavumelekile.
2 Chronicles 17:9
Base befundisa kwaJuda benencwadi yomthetho kaJehova; bazungeza baya emizini yonke yakwaJuda, bafundisa phakathi kwabantu.
Isaiah 43:12-19
Ngimemezele, ngisindisile, ngizwisile, kungakabikho unkulunkulu wabezizwe phakathi kwenu; yebo, ningofakazi bami,” usho uJehova, “mina nginguNkulunkulu. Yebo, kwasendulo nginguye; akakho ongophula esandleni sami; lapho ngisebenza, ngubani ongakuvimbela na?” Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBabele, ngiyakwehlisa bonke njengababaleki, namaKaledi ngemikhumbi yokujabula kwawo. NginguJehova oNgcwele wenu, uMdali ka-Israyeli, iNkosi yenu.” Usho kanje uJehova owenza indlela elwandle, nomkhondo emanzini anamandla, okhipha izinqola namahhashi, impi namandla; kuyalala kanyekanye, akusenakuvuka; kucishile, kucinyiwe njengomongo. “Ningakhumbuli izinto zakuqala, ningazindli ngezindaba zasendulo. Bhekani, ngiyakwenza okusha; kuyakuqhamuka manje, angithi niyakwazi na? Yebo, ngiyakwenza indlela ehlane nemifula kwahlongasibi.
Psalms 127:1-2.
Uma uJehova engayakhi indlu, basebenzela ize abayakhayo; uma uJehova engalondolozi umuzi, umlindi wawo ulindela ize. Kuyize kini ukuba nivuke ekuseni, nephuze ukuphumula, nidle isinkwa sezinhlupheko, ngokuba uyamupha othandiweyo wakhe esalele.
Ngesikhathi sokwakhiwa koMkhumbi Ka Noah kwakuyisikhathi esifanayo nalesi esiphila kuso namhlanje.Ngaleso sikhathi uNkulunkulu wathuma uNoah ukuba akhe uMkhumbi ukuze asindise abantu bangabhubhi ngoba kwakuzofika uzamcolo imvula enkulu.
Namhlanje uNkulunkulu uthuma uJesu Kristu ukuba azokufa ukuze bonke abantu abakholwa nguye bangabhubhi ngomlilo oyichibi uNkulunkulu azophosa kulo bonke abazono zabo azithethelelwe.
John 3:16
“Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.
Kwakuyiso lesisikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu athi khona Ku Noah:
Genesis 6:13-14, 17-18, 22
“…Ukuphela kwenyama yonke kufikile phambi kwami, ngokuba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabantu; bheka, ngiyakubachitha kanye nomhlaba. Yakha umkhumbi ngemithi yegofere,* wenze amakamelo emkhunjini, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi nangaphandle ngekolitayi.* Mina, bheka, mina ngizakuzisa uzamcolo wamanzi emhlabeni ukuba achithe yonke inyama okukuyo umoya wokuphila phansi kwezulu; konke okusemhlabeni kuzakufa. Kepha ngiyakumisa isivumelwano sami nawe, uze ungene emkhunjini, wena namadodana akho, nomkakho, nabafazi bamadodana akho bekanye nawe. UNowa wenze njalo; njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile wakwenza.
The Titanic was built with the most expensive material.Noah’s Ark was built with the cheapest,but strongest material,but God made the material strong to save His people namely:
1.Noah
2. His wife
3.Son 1
4.Son 2
5. Son 3
6.Daughter in law 1
7.Daughter in law 2
8.Daughter in law 3
God himself saved his people and not the material.The Lord is our Strength.
UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe wasindisa abantu bakhe hhayi impahla yokwakha.Umkhumbi ka Noah wakhiwa ngamandla ka Moya oNgcwele ka Nkulunkulu
Zachariah 4:6-9
So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ” Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
Zachariah 4:6-9
Yayisithatha isho kimi, ithi: “Lokhu kuyizwi likaJehova kaZerubabele lokuthi: ‘Kungabi ngempi, kungabi ngamandla, kepha kube ngomoya wami kuphela,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti. “Ungubani wena ntaba enkulu? Phambi kukaZerubabele uyakuba yithafa; uyakukhipha itshe eliyinhloko ngokumemeza ukuthi: ‘Umusa, mawube kulo!’ ” Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: “Izandla zikaZerubabele zibeke isisekelo sale ndlu, futhi izandla zakhe ziyakuyiqeda, wazi ukuthi nguJehova Sebawoti ongithumile kini.
UJehova ungamandla ethu.
Exodus 15:2
UJehova ungamandla ami nehubo lami; waba yinsindiso kimi; unguNkulunkulu wami: ngizakumdumisa, noNkulunkulu kababa: ngizakumphakamisa.
Ungalokothi wethembe indlu yakho ukuthi iyabiza izokuvikela uma kufika izikhukhula.Indlu yakho kungasa igcwele udaka olubilayo oluphuma ngaphansi komhlaba ibiza injalo wena usubilile nge Lava.Kodwa abamethembayo noma bangabila nodaka kodwa bazovuka benokuthula okuphakade.
Isaiah 43:1-3
Kepha manje usho kanje uJehova owakudalayo wena Jakobe, nowakubumba wena Israyeli, uthi: “Ungesabi ngokuba ngikuhlengile, ngikubizile ngegama lakho; ungowami. Lapho udabula emanzini, mina nginawe; nasemifuleni, ayiyikukukhukhula; lapho uhamba emlilweni, awuyikusha, nelangabi aliyikukushisa. Ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uMsindisi wakho; ngiyanika iGibithe libe yihlawulo lakho, iKushe neSheba esikhundleni sakho.
Kuthathe cishe izinyanga ezingama-26 ukwakha iTitanic ( 2 years two months ) . Babalelwa ku-3 000 abantu abasiza ekwakheni iTitanic, abanye babo bashona kusakhiwa ngendlela okwakunzima ngayo.
Izinto zika Nkulunkulu azijahwa.UNoah wayehamba ngokwe instruction Ka Nkulunkulu wakha umkhombi engajahe ndawo.Kancane kancane Waze waqede.
Ngokwezincazelo zeBhayibheli, cishe uNowa wachitha iminyaka ephakathi kwengu-50 nengu-75 akha uMkhumbi, ngokusekelwe eminyakeni yamadodana akhe lapho eshadile nesikhathi okwakuyosithatha ukuqoqa izinto zokwakha nokwakha umkhumbi omkhulu kangaka; iBhayibheli alisho ngokuqondile isikhathi esiqondile, kodwa libonisa ukuthi uNowa waqala ukuwakha ngemva kokuba amadodana akhe esekhulile futhi eshadile, okwakungase kuthathe amashumi ambalwa eminyaka .
Amaphuzu abalulekile mayelana nesikhathi:
Iminyaka kaNowa:
UNowa wayeneminyaka engu-500 lapho kuzalwa izibulo lakhe, futhi uzamcolo waba khona lapho eneminyaka engu-600.
Iminyaka yamadodana:
Amadodana kaNowa ayedinga isikhathi ukuze akhule futhi athole abafazi ngaphambi kokuba asize ekwakheni.
Asikho isikhathi esibekiwe eBhayibhelini:
IBhayibheli alinikezi inani eliqondile leminyaka yokwakhiwa koMkhumbi.
Psalms 28.7
UJehova ungamandla ami nesihlangu sami; inhliziyo yami ithembe kuye, ngasizwa; ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyethaba; ngizakumdumisa ngesihlabelelo sami.
Noah was the only main member in the building of the Ark.Kunengqondo ukucabanga ukuthi uNowa wathola usizo kwabanye ababenikezwe umsebenzi omkhulu wokwakha umkhumbi.
Bhekani, ngiyakwenza okusha; kuyakuqhamuka manje, angithi niyakwazi na? Yebo, ngiyakwenza indlela ehlane nemifula kwahlongasibi.
“It makes sense ” ukucabanga ukuthi uNowa wathola usizo kwabanye ababenikezwe umsebenzi omkhulu wokwakha umkhumbi.
Kungenzeka ukuthi umndeni kaNowa wasiza ekwakheni.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uNowa waqasha izisebenzi ukuze zisize ekwakheni.Just ordinary people.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uNowa wayesebenzisa izilwane ukuze athwale i material.
Lemikhumbi yomibili yakhiwa lapha emhlabeni.Umkhumbi ka Noah u” designer” wawo ngu Nkulunkulu.Umakhi wawo ngu Nkulunkulu no Noah.UNkulunkulu uthe uNoah akakhe umkhumbi ngenhloso yokusindisa abantu baka Nkulunkulu kuzamcolo owawusendleleni uzobhubhisa abantu abangakhethwangwa nabangavumanga ukukhethwa ngu Nkulunkulu, umhlaba ungakasekelwa, ukuthi bangene emkhunjini.
UNkulunkulu uphindile waletha UJesu Kristu emhlabeni ukuba azokuba nguMkhumbi osindisayo.UJesu Kristu usindisa abantu abakhethiweyo ukuthi bangene kuye ukuze banga bhubhi emlilweni.Ukhethiwe! Vuma ukukhethwa ukuze usindiswe.
ITitanic yakhiwa ngenhloso yokwakha umcebo.Umnikazi we Titanic wabe engusomabhizinisi.Ehlose ukwakha umcebo ngomkhumbi ngomkhumbi wakhe.UNkulunkulu uhlose ukusindiswa abantu bakhe ngomkhumbi Ka Noah nango kufanele kuka Jesu Kristu.
Kwi Titanic akungenanga noma ubani.Kwangena osozigidi abanemali.Kwangena omtakabani. Omacaphuna kusale.Abantu abangenza kwi Titanic ngabantu ababefuna ukuyoqala impilo entsha e America.
NaseMkhunjini kaNoah akungeni noma ubani.Kwangena abantu abafuna ukuyoqala impilo entsha ezulwini.Impilo entsha iyimpilo oyithola ngokukholwa ngu Jesu Kristu.I Titanic yakhiwa ngosoSayensi noso Nkontileka abanzima bekhethelo.I Titanic yakhiwa ngabantu abafundile . UMkhumbi kaNoah wakhiwa ngu Nkulunkulu no Noah.UNoah akafudile kodwa u ” accurate” kukho konke okushiwo ngu Nkulunkulu.

God is fully involved ekusindiseni abakhethiweyo bakhe.Uma kwakhiwa I Titanic uNkulunkulu ” was not involved”.Igama lika Nkulunkulu lize laphathwa lapho sekukhulunwa kabi ngo Nkulunkulu kuthiwa
” Even God cannot sink this ship”
” Ngisho uNkulunkulu uqobo angeke akwazi ukucwilisa lomkhumbi -TITANIC
ITitanic kwaku ngumkhumbi omuhle impela,kodwa uNkulunkulu akawakhanga!Futhi akashongo lutho ngokwakhiwa kwawo.
Bonke abantu abanikwa ithuba lokwakha i Titanic ( ship designer and ship builders alike ) abazange bawuthole umyalelo wokuthi
1.Abakhe i Titanic
2.Bayakhe kanjani?
3.Bayakhelani?
Lento yokungathathi lutho kuNkulunkulu nokungakhuleki Ku Nkulunkulu babuze kuye ukuthi bawakhe kanjani uMkhumbi iTitanic,yenza ukuthibacabange ukuthi uNkulunkulu akazi lutho.
Bakhohlwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu nguye kuphela ongu God Omnipotent ( uNkulunkulu onamandla onke).Ungu God Omniscient ( uNkulunkulu onolwazi lonke).Ungu God Omnipresent ( unguNkulunkulu othi esezulwini abe semhlabeni,olwandle, ngaphansi kolwandle nangaphansi komhlaba ngesikhathi esifanayo).
UNkulunkulu ngo Jesu Kristu uNkulunkulu nguye okwazi ukusinika.
1.Umoya Ka Nkulunkulu
2.Umoya wokuhlakanipha
3.Umoya wokuqonda
4.Umoya wamasu
5.Umoya wamandla
6.Umoya wokwazi
7.Wokumesaba uNkulunkulu
Isaiah 11:2
UMoya kaJehova uyakuhlala phezu kwakhe, umoya wokuhlakanipha nowokuqonda, umoya wamasu nowamandla, umoya wokwazi nowokumesaba uJehova.
Wawu muhle umkhumbi i TITANIC! Kwaku ngekona nje kuphela ukuthi mkhulu kunayoyoke imikhumbi yangaleso sikhathi,kodwa wawu bushelelezi, ushesha, futhi ungacwili nhlobo,kodwa okwakungasho ukuthi ngisho noNkulunkulu angeke akwazi ukuwucwilisa. Omakhi be Titanic benza iphutha ngokucabanga ukuthi ngempela iTitanic awinaku cwila nanini nanini. Zonke izici zokuphepha eziqinisekisiwe kanye nezintsha eziningana zangena ekwakhiweni kwe Titanic. I-Titanic, eyabe ingumkhumbi omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni, yasuka eSouthampton yalibangisa eNew York ngoLwesithathu zingama-10 ku March 1912. Kulomkhumbi kwakunabagibeli abangu-922, kamuva bakhuphukela ku-1316 ngemva kwezingcingo eCherbourg naseQueenstown.ITitani yayikhazimula esibhakabhakeni.Wawu babazeka. Ukuziqhenya kweBritannia kwagibela olwandle.The Titanic was a pride of Britain .I-New York bekuyitheku layo elilandelayo” it’s next harbour “.Abaqavile emphakathini kwakungabagibeli bayo futhi babejabulela ukumenyezela bobukhazikhazi bayo. Ubuhle bekuyigama lendawo yangaphakathi ye-Titanic. Iiwubukhazikhazi ekuhlobiseni kwayo, amamenyu, nokuzijabulisa, yadlula lokho okwakulindelwe ngabagibeli bayo. Izingxenye ezintathu kwezine ohambweni lwayo lokuqala .Ekugcineni i-Titanic yaba iphupho elibi.
A deceptively large iceberg, detached from the polar ice fields, Intaba yeqhwa ( avalanche ) enkulu ngokungakholakali, yehla isuka ezindaweni zeqhwa iya ezindaweni ezishisayo, ibikhukhuleka ingena emizileni yemikhumbi yaseNyakatho ye-Atlantic , ehloselwe ukugcina ukuhlangana okunqunywe ( planned before the foundation of the world ) kusengaphambili ukuthi leliqwa elikhulukazi lihlangane ne-Titanic emangalisayo.”
Umhlaba kufanele manje uyayazi indaba yokuthi i TITANIC yaphonseka kanjani ethuneni layo elinamanzi ngo-2. 20 A. M. ekuseni ngomhla ka-15 April, 1912.
Kwakukade kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi ” The Titanic is unsinkable.Omunye wabasebenzi walomkhumbi waphawula wathi: ” Not even God would be able to sink the Titanic “.
I-Titanic, yethulwa ( Launched ) ngo-May 31, 1911, futhi yaqala uhambo lwayo lokuqala isuka e-Southampton ngo-April 10, 1912, inabagibeli nabasebenzi abangu-2,240. Ngo-April 15, 1912, ngemva kokushayisa intaba yeqhwa, i-Titanic yahlukana phakathi futhi yacwila olwandle, yathatha ukuphila kwabagibeli nabasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-1 500.
,
“Nakuba ngilibonga ngiwezwa amazwi alabo abathi uNkulunkulu akakwazi ukucwilisa i-Titanic,kodwa mina njengomzalwane angisoze ngahlambalaza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi noma yimuphi umkhumbi ungaphezu kwamandla ka Nkulunkulu. Futhi bengiyocela ngokuzithoba uNkulunkulu ukuba agcine i-Titanic iphephile ezingozini zasolwandle.”
Jeremy 32:27
“Bheka, nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenyama yonke, kukhona okungahlulayo na?
UNkulunkulu futhi unamandla anele okusinika ukuphila okuphakade.
John 3:16
“Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.”
Yini okufanele siyifunde ngoku cwila kwe Titanic emva koku qinisekiswa nga ma designers mama builders ukuthi unamandla okumelana nezimo zonke zasolwandle?
UNkulunkulu akawucwilisanga umkhumbi ” per se” ,kodwa wavuma ukuthi ucwile ngenhloso .UNkulunkulu usifundisa ukuthi ukuziqhenya, ukuzidla, nokuzidla kuza ngaphambi kokuwa. Kufanele siqaphele kakhulu ngamazwi ethu. Amagama angaqukatha ukuphila noma ukufa. Ulimi alunamathambo kodwa lunamandla okuphula inhliziyo nokudala usizi. Amazwi angamdiliza umuntu noma amphakamise. Amazwi angakulethela izibusiso kodwa futhi angakuqalekisa. Amazwi angase abe lula kodwa abe yingozi futhi abe yingozi kunoshevu. Kungathatha iminyaka ukululama emazwini ashiwo kuwe ngokunganaki. Amagama kufanele asetshenziselwe ukudumisa uNkulunkulu, ukulungisa ubuhlobo, nokukhuthaza abanye.
Abagibeli abaningi ababegibele i-Titanic babesendleleni yokuyoqala impilo entsha eMelika – izwe elalichazwa ngaleso sikhathi ngokuthi: “umhlaba omusha.”Babephethe umnotho wabo nobucwebe babo.Kubuhlungu ukuthi lomkhumbi wamosha kakhulu ekubeni wabe uyisethenjwa.
Kubantu abangu-2,201 ababegibele abangu-711 kuphela, abasindile futhi abangu-1,514 bashona. Iningi labantu babulawa yi
Hypothermia isimo esenzeka lapho izinga lokushisa lomzimba lehla lingaphansi kuka- 35 degrees Celsius Kuyisimo esiphuthumayo sezokwelapha. Ku-hypothermia umzimba ulahlekelwa ukushisa ngokushesha kunalokho ongakwazi ukukhiqiza wona ukushisa
Proverbs 19:2
Futhi akulungile ukuba umphefumulo ungabi nakwazi; oshesha ngezinyawo uyaduka.
Ngenkathi i-Titanic ishayisa i-iceberg abagibeli abathile kungenzeka babesobuthongweni.Cishe baphupha ngempilo entsha eMelika – ‘umhlaba omusha’! Injabulo enkulu, ehambisana nokuzijabulisa emkhunjini, ihlale ivame ukuletha ukukhathala ngokomzimba! Ngempela lesi kwakuyisenzo sesibindi sokwethembeka kubaqashi babo, nomzamo wokugcina wokusiza ekudambiseni uvalo nokwesaba kwabagibeli nabasebenzi. Ngokuqinisekile zikhona ‘izifundo ze-titanic kumaKristu’ kukho konke lokhu namuhla; AmaKristu akholwayo noma atshelwa ukuthi konke kuvikelekile futhi akukho lutho olungalahleka!
Prov. 16: 25
Kukhona indlela eqondile phambi komuntu, kepha ukuphela kwayo kuyizindlela zokufa.
Rev. 2: 23
ngiyakubulala abantwana bakhe ngokufa; amabandla onke ayakwazi ukuthi nginguye ophenya izinso nezinhliziyo, futhi ngiyakumnika yilowo nalowo wenu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe.
Acts 5: 1-10
Kepha indoda ethile, igama layo lingu-Ananiya, inoSafira umkayo, yathengisa ngendawo; yagodla inxenye yemali, nomkayo ekwazi, yaletha inxenye ethile, yayibeka ngasezinyaweni zabaphostoli. Wayesethi uPetru: “Ananiya, kungani ukuba uSathane agcwalise inhliziyo yakho, uqambe amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, ugodle inxenye yemali yezwe, na? Lisekhona belingesilo elakho na? Selithengisiwe belingekho emandleni akho na? Uyibekeleni leyo nto enhliziyweni yakho na? Awuqambanga amanga kubantu kepha kuNkulunkulu.” Kuthe u-Ananiya ezwa lawo mazwi, wawa phansi, wafa, ukwesaba okukhulu kwehlela bonke abezwa lokho. Izinsizwa zasuka, zamsongelezela, zamkhiphela phandle, zammbela. Kwathi emva kwesikhathi esingaba ngamahora amathathu kwangena nomkakhe, engakwazi okwenzakeleyo. UPetru wayesethatha ethi: “Ngitshele ukuba izwe nilithengise ngokungaka na?” Wathi: “Yebo, ngokungaka.” Kepha uPetru wathi kuye: “Kungani ukuba nivumelene ngokulinga uMoya weNkosi na? Bheka, izinyawo zabambele indoda yakho zisemnyango, nawe bazakukukhiphela phandle.” Wayesewa phansi masinyane ngasezinyaweni zakhe, wafa; izinsizwa zangena, zamfumana efile, zamkhiphela phandle, zammbela ngasendodeni yakhe.
1 Cor. 6: 8 – 11
Kepha nina uqobo niyona, niyaphanga; nikwenza lokhu nakubazalwane benu. Kepha kanazi yini ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu na? Ningadukiswa. Nazifebe, nabakhonza isithombe, naziphingi, nazihlobongi, nabesilisa abalalanayo, namasela, nabahahayo, nazidakwa, nazithuki, nabaphangi abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu. Babenjalo abanye kini, kepha senahlanzwa, senangcweliswa, senalungisiswa ngegama leNkosi uJesu Kristu nangoMoya kaNkulunkulu wethu.
Eph. 5: 3-5.
Kepha ubufebe, nakho konke ukungcola, noma isangabe, makungaphathwa nangegama phakathi kwenu, njengokuba kufanele abangcwele, nehlazo, nokubheda, nokulawula, okuyizinto ezingafanele, kepha kunalokho makube ngukubonga. Ngokuba yazini lokhu, nikuqonde ukuthi akukho sifebe, noma ongcolileyo, noma onesangabe ongokhonza izithombe, onefa embusweni kaKristu noNkulunkulu.

2 Chronicles 17:9
Base befundisa kwaJuda benencwadi yomthetho kaJehova; bazungeza baya emizini yonke yakwaJuda, bafundisa phakathi kwabantu.
Isaiah 43: 12 – 19
Ngimemezele, ngisindisile, ngizwisile, kungakabikho unkulunkulu wabezizwe phakathi kwenu; yebo, ningofakazi bami,” usho uJehova, “mina nginguNkulunkulu. Yebo, kwasendulo nginguye; akakho ongophula esandleni sami; lapho ngisebenza, ngubani ongakuvimbela na?” Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBabele, ngiyakwehlisa bonke njengababaleki, namaKaledi ngemikhumbi yokujabula kwawo. NginguJehova oNgcwele wenu, uMdali ka-Israyeli, iNkosi yenu.” Usho kanje uJehova owenza indlela elwandle, nomkhondo emanzini anamandla, okhipha izinqola namahhashi, impi namandla; kuyalala kanyekanye, akusenakuvuka; kucishile, kucinyiwe njengomongo. “Ningakhumbuli izinto zakuqala, ningazindli ngezindaba zasendulo. Bhekani, ngiyakwenza okusha; kuyakuqhamuka manje, angithi niyakwazi na? Yebo, ngiyakwenza indlela ehlane nemifula kwahlongasibi.
Injongo yokushumayela yenziwe yacaca … ‘Phenduka futhi ukholwe ngu Jesu Kristu.Indlela yokuphila eshintshile esiyishumayelayo. Baningi abazothi bayakholwa – uJakobe wabhala ngo Develi ababethi bayakholwa – kodwa ubufakazi bokugcina benkolelo wukuphenduka kanye nendlela yokuphila eshintshile. Njengoba uJohn Calvin abhala, ‘Ukwazi uNkulunkulu kuwukushintshwa uNkulunkulu’.
Kungakanani esikuzwa namuhla epulpiti okuhlobene ngandlela ‘neVangeli’ lokukholwa ngu Jesu Kristu?
