Umhlatjelo waJesu uyindlela Nkulunkulu lakhulula ngayo bantfu esonweni nasekufeni. LiBhayibheli litsi ingati yaJesu leyacitseka iyinhlawulo. (Kubase-Efesu 1:7; 1 Phetro 1:18, 19) Ngako Jesu watsi wetela ‘kutonikela ngekuphila kwakhe kuze kube yinhlawulo yalabanyenti.’​—Matewu 20:28.

Kungani bekudzingeka ‘inhlawulo yalabanyenti’?

 Umuntfu wekucala Adamu wadalwa ete sono. Bekatawuphila phakadze kodvwa loko kwamlahlekela ngobe wakhetsa kungamlaleli Nkulunkulu. (Genesisi 3:17-19) Wendlulisela lesono kubantfwana bakhe. (KubaseRoma 5:12) Ngenca yaleso sizatfu, liBhayibheli litsi Adamu ‘watitsengisa’ yena kanye nebantfwana bakhe ekugcilatweni sono nekufa. (KubaseRoma 7:14) Njengobe bese banesono, kute lebekangakhona kutsenga loko lokwalahlwa ngu-Adamu.​—Tihlabelelo 49:7, 8.

 Nkulunkulu wayivela buhlungu intalelwane ya-Adamu lebeyite litsemba. (Johane 3:16) Nobe kunjalo, simiso saNkulunkulu sekwenta lokulungile asizange simvumele kutsi angatinaki tono tabo ngaphandle kwesizatfu lesicinile. (Tihlabelelo 89:14; KubaseRoma 3:23-26) Ngenca yekutsi Nkulunkulu uyabatsandza bantfu, ngako wabalungiselela indlela lesemtsetfweni kuze tono tabo titsetselelwe tiphindze tisuswe ngalokuphelele. (KubaseRoma 5:6-8) Inhlawulo ingulendlela lesemtsetfweni.

Isebenta njani lenhlawulo?

 EBhayibhelini, ligama lelitsi ‘inhlawulo’ lifaka ekhatsi letintfo letintsatfu letilandzelako:

1.   Ikubhadalwa.​—Numeri 3:46, 47.

2.   Iletsa inkhululeko.​—Eksodusi 21:30.

3.   Ilingana nelinani laloko lokubhadalelwako. a

 Naka kutsi letintfo tisebenta njani emhlatjelweni waJesu Khristu loyinhlawulo.

1.   Kubhadalwa. LiBhayibheli litsi emaKhristu “atsengwa ngelinani lelikhulu.” (1 KubaseKhorinte 6:20; 7:23) Lelinani lelikhulu yingati yaJesu ‘latsengela ngayo Nkulunkulu bantfu kuto tonkhe tinhlanga, tilwimi, bantfu netive.’​—Sembulo 5:8, 9.

2.   Inkhululeko. Umhlatjelo waJesu uletsa ‘kukhululwa ngenhlawulo’ esonweni.​—1 KubaseKhorinte 1:30; KubaseKholose 1:14; KumaHebheru 9:15.

3.   Ilingana nelinani. Sihlengo lesaletfwa nguJesu silingana ncamashi naloko lokwalahlwa ngu-Adamu lokukuphila lokute sono. (1 KubaseKhorinte 15:21, 22, 45, 46) LiBhayibheli litsi: “Ngobe njengobe ngekungalaleli kwemuntfu munye [Adamu] bantfu labanyenti baba toni, ngendlela lefanako, ngekulalela kwemuntfu munye [Jesu Khristu] bantfu labanyenti kutawutsiwa balungile.” (KubaseRoma 5:19) Loko kuchaza indlela kufa kwemuntfu munye lokwakhona ngayo kukhokha inhlawulo yetoni letinyenti. Ecinisweni, umhlatjelo waJesu “waba yinhlawulo yabo bonkhe,” labatsatsa tinyatselo letidzingekile kuze bazuze kuwo.​—1 KuThimothi 2:5, 6.
