“Letindzaba letinhle . . .”​—MATEWU 24:14.

EMAKHRISTU kufanele ashumayele ‘tindzaba letihle tembuso’ ngekutjela labanye ngawo, achaze nekutsi loMbuso unguhulumende wesikhatsi lesitako lotawubusa umhlaba ngekulunga. Nanobe kunjalo, leligama lelitsi ‘tindzaba letinhle,’ liphindze lisetjentiswe ngetindlela letehlukehlukene eBhayibhelini. Sibonelo saloku kutsi sitfola emavi latsi ‘memetelani tindzaba letinhle tensindziso yakhe’ (Tihlabelelo 96:2); ‘tindzaba letinhle letiphuma kuNkulunkulu’ (Roma 15:16); ‘tindzaba letinhle ngaJesu Khristu.’​—Makho 1:1.

Tindzaba letinhle tifaka ekhatsi onkhe emaciniso Jesu lakhuluma ngawo kanye nalawo labhalwa bafundzi bakhe. Ngembikwekutsi enyukele ezulwini, naku Jesu lakutjela balandzeli bakhe: ‘Ngako-ke hambani, nente tive tonkhe tibe bafundzi bami, nibabhabhatise egameni leYise, neleNdvodzana, nelemoya longcwele, nibafundzise kugcina konkhe lenginiyale ngako.’ (Matewu 28:19, 20) Ngako-ke, umsebenti wemaKhristu eliciniso awusiko kumane nje atjele labanye ngeMbuso; kufanele aphindze ente bantfu babe bafundzi.

Enta njani emasontfo kulendzaba? Bantfu labanyenti labangati kutsi uyini uMbuso, angeke bakwati kufundzisa labanye ngawo. Kunaloko, bashumayela ngetintfo letenta bantfu bajabule letimayelana nekutsetselelwa kwetono kanye nekuba nekukholwa kuJesu. Baphindze betame kutfola emakholwa lengetiwe ngekushintja kuphila kwebantfu nobe kwakha tibhedlela, tikolwa, kanye netindlu tebantfu labahluphekako. Ngisho nobe leto tento tingalandzisa linani lebantfu labaya emasontfweni, atibenti babe ngemaKhristu eliciniso lafuna ngebucotfo kuphila ngekuvumelana naloko Jesu lakufundzisa.

Lesinye sati senkholo sabhala: “Tifundziswa letinyenti nobe baholi benkholo labangemaKhristu bayati kutsi kufanele ngabe benta bantfu bafundzi nobe tikhonti taJesu futsi babafundzise kwenta tonkhe tintfo Jesu latisho. . . . Ticondziso taJesu ngalendzaba ticacile. Simane nje asikwenti loko lakusho. Asetami nekukwenta. Ecinisweni asati kutsi kufanele sikwente njani.”

Ngendlela lefananako, luhlolo lwemaKatolika aseMelika lwaveta kutsi emaphesenti langu-95 ayavuma kutsi kushumayela tindzaba letinhle kuyimfuneko yekukholwa kwabo. Nanobe kunjalo, cishe bonkhe batsi indlela lencono yekwenta loku, kungakhulumi ngato, kodvwa kuphila ngendlela letawuba sibonelo kulabanye. Lomunye walabo labahlolwa watsi: “Kukhuluma ngeTindzaba letinhle akusiyo indlela lencono yekushumayela ngato. Lokubaluleke kakhulu kubeka sibonelo lesihle.” Magazini i-U.S. Catholic, lobewukhuluma ngaloluhlolo, watsi bantfu labanyenti ababatjeli labanye ngaloko labakukholelwako ngobe “emasontfo awasabukwa kahle ngesizatfu selihlazo lawo lekuhlukubeta bantfu ngekwelicasi kanye netimfundziso tawo letingacondzakali.”

Kulenye indzawo, umbhishobhi welisontfo lemaWeseli wakhaliswa kutsi emasontfo akhe ehlukane ekhatsi futsi adidekile, awanaso sibindzi sekwenta umsebenti wawo futsi aphila njengebantfu labangakholwa. Akhuluma ngelivi leliveta kutfukutsela, wabuta: “Bobani lokufanele bashumayele ngalelivangeli leMbuso?”

Lombhishobhi akazange awuphendvule lombuto wakhe. Nanobe kunjalo, ikhona imphendvulo. Utawuyitfola esihlokweni lesilandzelako.
