“Khona-ke uJobe wasukuma, wabe eseklebhula isiphuku sakhe, futhi waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wabe esewela emhlabathini, futhi wakhuleka, Waye sethi, Ngaphuma ngihamba ze esibelethweni sikamama wami, futhi ngiyobuyela kuso ngihamba ze: iNKOSI iphile, futhi iNKOSI ithathile; malibongwe igama leNKOSI” (UJobe 1:20-21).

“Waye sethi, Thatha manje indodana yakho, indodana yakho okuwukuphela kwayo u-Isaka, oyithandayo, bese uya ezweni laseMoriya; bese uyonikela ngaye lapho abe umnikelo wokushiswa entabeni … Futhi u-Abrahama welula isandla sakhe wathatha ummese ukuba ahlabe ngawo indodana yakhe” (UGenesise 22:2,10).

“Laba yilabo abangazange bangcoliswe yisifazane; ngoba basemsulwa. Labo yilabo abalandela iWundlu lapho liya khona. Laba bahlengwa phakathi kwabantu, bayizithelo zokuqala kuNkulunkulu nakuWundlu. Kanti emilonyeni yabo akutholakalanga manga: ngoba abanasici phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu” (IsAmbulo 14:4-5).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

UJesu wakwazi ukufeza umyalelo kaNkulunkulu—umsebenzi wokuhlengwa kwesintu sonke—ngokuba wanikeza konke ukunakekela intando kaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwamacebo Akhe nokuzicabangela Yena. Ngakho, futhi, Naye wayesondelene noNkulunkulu—uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, into eniyiqonda kahle nonke. (Empeleni, wayenguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe owafakazelwa nguNkulunkulu; Ngikusho lokhu lapha ukusebenzisa iqiniso likaJesu ukucacisa indaba.) Wakwazi ukubeka phambili uhlelo lokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu, futhi wayehlala ethandaza kuBaba osezulwini futhi wayefuna intando kaBaba osezulwini. Wakhuleka wathi: “Nkulunkulu Baba! Feza lokho okuyintando Yakho, futhi ungenzi ngokwezinhloso Zami; ngifisa Wenze ngokohlelo Lakho. Umuntu angaba buthakathaka, kodwa kungani umnakekela? Kungani umuntu eyisihloko sokukhathazeka Kwakho, umuntu ofana nentuthwane esandleni Sakho? Enhliziyweni Yami, ngifisa ukufeza intando Yakho kuphela, futhi ngifisa Wenze njengalokhu ufisa ukwenza Kimi ngokwezinhloso Zakho.” Endleleni eya eJerusalema, uJesu wezwa umunyu, kusengathi ummese uphendulwa enhliziyweni Yakhe, kepha wayengenayo ngisho encane inhloso yokushintsha izwi ayelishilo; njalo kwakukhona amandla amakhulu amqhubezela phambili ekubethelweni Kwakhe. Ekugcineni, wabethelwa esiphambanweni futhi wafana nenyama yesono, efeza lowo msebenzi wokuhlenga isintu, futhi waphakama ngaphezu kwamaketanga okufa neHayidesi. Phambi Kwakhe, ukufa, isihogo kanye neHayidesi kwaphelelwa amandla, kwanqotshwa Nguye. Waphila iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu, kuyo yonke wenza njalo ngamandla Akhe onke ukufeza intando kaNkulunkulu ngokomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngaleso sikhathi, akanakanga inzuzo Yakhe ngokwakhe noma ukulahlekelwa, futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi wayecabanga intando kaNkulunkulu uBaba. Ingakho, emva kokuba esebhapathiziwe, uNkulunkulu wathi: “Le iNdodana Yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo.” Ngenxa yenkonzo Yakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu eyayihambisana nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wabeka umthwalo onzima wokuhlenga sonke isintu phezu kwamahlombe Akhe. Wamenza ukuba aphokophelele phambili ukuwufeza. Wayefaneleka futhi enelungelo lokufeza lo msebenzi obalulekile.

Lapho uJobe edlula ezilingweni okokuqala, waphucwa yonke impahla yakhe kanye nezingane zakhe, kodwa akazange awe noma asho into eyisono kuNkulunkulu. Wazinqoba izilingo zikaSathane, wanqoba nomuzwa wokulahlekelwa impahla yakhe kanye nezingane zakhe, okusho ukuthi wakwazi ukulalela uNkulunkulu futhi wadumisa uNkulunkulu ngenxa yakho. Yiyona ndlela uJobe ayeziphatha ngayo phakathi nesilingo sokuqala sikaSathane, futhi yibona bufakazi obanikezwa uJobe ovivinyweni lokuqala lukaNkulunkulu. Ovivinyweni lwesibili, uSathane welula isandla sakhe ukuze alimaze uJobe, futhi nakuba uJobe ezwa ubuhlungu ayengakaze abuzwe, ubufakazi bakhe babanele ukushiya abantu bebambe ongezansi. Wasebenzisa isibindi, ukholo, nokulalela kwakhe uNkulunkulu, ukuze aphinde anqobe uSathane, futhi uNkulunkulu wakwamukela ukuziphatha kanye nobufakazi abunikeza.

Ukuzimisela kukaJobe kwenza uSathane wangenwa amanzi emadolweni, ukholo lwakhe lwashiya uSathane ethuthumela futhi eqhaqhazela, amandla empi yakhe yokuphila nokufa noSathane enza uSathane waba nenzondo enkulu, ukulunga nobuqotho bakhe akumsizanga ngalutho uSathane, ngezinga lokuthi wayeka ukumhlasela nokumangalela uJobe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kwakusho ukuthi uJobe ulinqobile izwe, wayinqoba inyama kanye noSathane, futhi wakunqoba ukufa; wayengumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngokuphelele. Phakathi nalezi zilingo ezimbili, uJobe waqina ebufakazini bakhe, futhi waphila ngokulunga nobuqotho, waphila ngazo zonke izindlela ngomyalo wokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi. Ngemva kokudlula kulezi zilingo, uJobe waba nokuhlangenwe nakho okungeke kwatholakala ndawo, futhi kwamenza wavuthwa, kwamenza waba namandla, nokholo oluqinile, kwamenza wazethemba futhi waba qotho ngenxa yokuqina kwakhe.

Uvivinyo lukaJehova uNkulunkulu alumhlukanisanga Yena noJobe, kodwa lwasondeza inhliziyo yakhe kuNkulunkulu. Lapho izinhlungu zenyama zikaJobe zifinyelela ekugcineni, ukubona uJehova uNkulunkulu ekhathazeka ngaye kwamenza waqalekisa usuku azalwa ngalo. Ukuziphatha okunjalo kwakungeyona into ehleliwe, kodwa ukwambulwa okungokwemvelo kothando ayenalo ngoNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yakhe, kwakuyisambulo esingokwemvelo esasibangelwa uthando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu. Okusho ukuthi, ngenxa yokuthi uJobe wazizonda, wayengazimisele futhi wayengeke akwazi ukuhlukumeza uNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela uthando lwakhe lwalungenabo ubugovu. Ngalesi sikhathi, kwakubalulekile kuJobe ukuba nobuhlobo obude nokulangazelela uNkulunkulu nokuzinikela kuNkulunkulu kuze kufike ezingeni lokucabangelana nothando. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, wayelubheka njengolubalulekile ukholo nokulalela kwakhe uNkulunkulu nokwesaba uNkulunkulu ngezinga lokumcabangela nokumthanda. Akazange avume ukwenza noma yini eyayingalimaza uNkulunkulu, akazange aziphathe ngendlela engalimaza uNkulunkulu, akavumanga ukwenza uNkulunkulu abe lusizi ngenxa yakhe, ngisho nokuthi angajabuli ngenxa yakhe. Emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, nakuba uJobe ayengakashintshi, ukholo lukaJobe, ukulalela kanye nokwesaba uNkulunkulu, kwenza uNkulunkulu wagculiseka futhi wajabula. Ngalesi sikhathi, uJobe wafinyelela ekulungeni uNkulunkulu ayefuna afinyelele kukho, waba indoda okufanele ngempela kuthiwe “ilungile futhi iqotho” emehlweni kaNkulunkulu. Izenzo zakhe ezilungile zamenza wanqoba uSathane futhi wafakaza ngoNkulunkulu. Ngakho izenzo zakhe ezilungile zamenza waphelela, zamenza wakwazisa ukuphila kwakhe, wadlondlobala nakakhulu, waba umuntu wokuqala owayengasahlaselwa futhi alingwe uSathane. Ngenxa yokuthi uJobe wayelungile, wamangalelwa futhi walingwa uSathane; ngenxa yokuthi uJobe wayelungile, wanikelwa kuSathane; futhi ngenxa yokuthi uJobe wayelungile, wamnqoba futhi wamehlula uSathane, wama waqinisa ebufakazini bakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, uJobe waba ngumuntu wokuqala owayengasoze anikelwa kuSathane, weza ngempela ngaphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, waphila ekukhanyeni, ngaphansi kwezibusiso zikaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokonakaliswa uSathane.… Waba indoda yeqiniso emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, wakhululwa.…
