Silukhanyiso lwehlabathiSample

Ubuwena njengokukhanya

Xa uYesu wayebiza abalandeli bakhe ngokuthi “lukhanyiselo lwehlabathi,” wayethetha ngokunzulu ngabo nenjongo yabo. Esi sibhengezo sasingapheleliselwanga kwixesha okanye kwindawo ethile kodwa sadluliselwa kubo bonke ababeza kumlandela, kuquka nathi namhlanje. Ukukhanya kunenjongo yendalo, kuyakhanyisa, kuyakhokela, kutyhila, kwaye kuyaguqula. Akunakwenzeka ukuba ukukhanya kuhlale kunye nobumnyama ngaphandle kokukugxotha. Ngokufanayo, njengamakholwa, sibizelwe ukuba siphile ngendlela yokuba ubukho bethu benze umahluko naphi na apho sihamba khona.

Phambi kokuza kuKristu, ubomi bethu baphawulwa bubumnyama. Ubumnyama eSibhalweni buhlala bufanekisela ukungazi, isono, kunye nokwahlukaniswa noThixo. Imela imeko apho abantu bengenako ukubona inyaniso, bephila ngokubhideka nokuphelelwa lithemba. Nangona kunjalo, ngokholo kuKristu, siguqulwe ebumnyameni saya ekukhanyeni. Olu tshintsho aluphelelanga nje ngaphandle koko luzinze nzulu kubume bethu obutsha njengabantwana bakaThixo.

Ukuphila njengokukhanya kuthetha ukuvumela inyaniso nothando lukaKristu ukuba lukhanye kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu. Akwanelanga ukuphepha nje isono; sibizelwe ekubeni sibonakalise ngenkuthalo isimilo sikaKristu. Amazwi ethu, izenzo, kunye nezimo zengqondo zethu kufuneka zikhombe abanye kwithemba nosindiso olufumaneka kuYe.

Ihlabathi esiphila kulo lizaliswe bubumnyama bokomoya, ukonakala, ukuwohloka kokuziphatha, nokuswela ulwalathiso. Oku kubalaselisa imfuneko engxamisekileyo yokukhanya kukaKristu, esikuthwala ngaphakathi kuthi. Ukuba kukukhanya asinto yokuzikhethela kwikholwa; luxanduva nelungelo. Naphi na apho sihamba khona, sizizixhobo ezikhethiweyo zikaThixo zokuzisa ukucaca, ithemba, nenyaniso kwabo basingqongileyo.
