uSawuli Uhlangana NoJesu, Ingxenye 1

Umphostoli uPawulu owabhala izincwadi eziningi zeTestamente Elisha, wayengeyena njalo umlandeli kaKristu. Eqinisweni cishe wayeyisitha esikhulu somuntu sebandla lokuqala. Ake sibheke uSawuli (okwakuyigama likaPawuli ngaphambi kokuba abe umKristu) futhi sibone ukuthi washintsha kanjani lapho ehlangana noJesu Kristu.

Funda IzEnzo 9: 2.

Ucabanga ukuthi kungani amaKristu ayebizwa ngokuthi ‘abeNdlela’? AmaKristu athi ukholo kuJesu “ukuphela kwendlela” yokusindiswa. Upawuli wayengumholi wenkolo yamaJuda owayeqhosha futhi engafuni ukuvuma ukuthi imikhuba yakhe engokwenkolo yayishoda ngokuthile. Akekho othanda ukutshelwa ukuthi izinkolelo zakhe azilungile. Kufanele sizizwele lapho sixoxela abanye lokho iBhayibheli elikufundisayo. Abanye babo bangase basabele njengoSawuli. Khumbula, kugxilwe kuJesu: Ujesu uyindlela! Hhayi ibandla lethu noma ihlelo.

Funda indaba kaPawuli yokuhlangana kwakhe noKristu kwabaseGal. 1:11, 12 ukubona lokho uPawuli akugcizelelayo “ngevangeli” (izindaba ezinhle) alishumayelayo. Ivelaphi? Hhayi kumuntu, kodwa isambulo esivela kuNkulunkulu! Manje bheka evesini 14 lapho ekhuluma “ngamasiko awobaba.” Upawuli wayenokukhetha okubili: Wayengalandela (a) amasiko oyise noma (b) isambulo asithola kuJesu Kristu. Kwakumele anqume ukuthi uzolandela bani. Ikuphi akukhethile? Isambulo esivela kuNkulunkulu!

1. Yimaphi “amasiko oyihlo” osunqume ukuwashiya? (okungukuthi ukusebenza epulazini, ukuhlala esifundazweni sakini, njll.)

2. Ngaphandle kokugxeka inkolo yomunye umuntu, xoxa ngokuthile okufunde eBhayibhelini mayelana nendlela yokukhulekela uNkulunkulu.

Isikhathi sokuzindla:

1. Okwenzekile kuleli sonto njengoba usufinyelele kwabanye ukuze wabelane nabo ngothando lukaKristu?

2. Yikuphi iNkosi esihole ukuba sikwenze ukuze sifinyelele kwabanye ngoThando lukaKristu?

Cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi akuphe isibindi sokufana lomPhostoli uPhawuli njalo ukhethe ukulandela lokho okufundiswa liBhayibhili mayelana nobudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu, kunokuthi ulandele “amasiko awobaba.”
