Ukuhlengwa Nokuthethelela

Ngaphandle kwegazi likaKristu, akekho ongaba nobuhlobo noBaba osezulwini. Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungcwele, isono sethu sivimba noma yimaphi amathuba okuxhumana Naye. Kodwa ngothando, Wahlela futhi waqala inkambo yokubuyisana nesintu esiwile. Igazi likaJesu lisinika konke esikudingayo ukuze sisondele kuBaba.

Ukuthi “hlenga” kusho “ukuthenga okuthile futhi.” UJesu Kristu weza esiphambanweni ngenjongo yokuqala yokusithenga empilweni yobugqila besono. Mhlawumbe ucabanga ukuthi ungumuntu olungile futhi awuzizwa ugqilazwe isono. Kodwa kungakhathalekile ukuthi umuntu angase abonakale eziphatha kanjani, wonke umuntu unemvelo yesono ( KwabaseRoma 3:23)

Ukuze sikhululwe, inani bekufanele likhokhwe. Kodwa kubani? UJesu akazange amkhokhele udeveli; Wakhokha inani elalifunwa uNkulunkulu ukuze anelise ubulungisa Bakhe obungcwele. NgokukaHezekeli 18:20, “Umuntu owonayo uyakufa.” Izindleko zokuhlengwa kwethu kwakuyigazi leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ephelele—futhi wenza lo mhlatshelo esikhundleni sethu. Ngenxa yokuthi uBaba wayamukela inkokhelo kaKristu, sikhululiwe ebugqilini besono futhi samukele amandla kaMoya oNgcwele, osenza sikwazi ukuphila enkululekweni yokulalela uBaba.

Manje uma kukhulunywa ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zethu, abantu abaningi banomqondo wokuthi iNkosi izobathethelela ngoba nje becela kuye. Abangase bangakuqondi ukuthi isisekelo sokuthethelelwa Kwakhe akusona isicelo sabo, kodwa inkokhelo kaKristu yesikweletu sabo. INkosi ayikwazi ukuthethelela okubi ngoba nje othile ecela. Ubungcwele Bakhe abuyikumvumela ukuba angasinaki isono; kufanele kujeziswe. Ukulunga Kwakhe angeke kumvumele ukuba athethelele iziphambeko ngaphandle kwenkokhelo.

Ngokufa kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu ephelele kuphela lapho uBaba enesisekelo esisemthethweni angathethelela ngaso noma ubani oza kuye ngokholo nokuphenduka (Kwabase-Efesu 1:7). Akukho esingakwenza ukuze sizuze intethelelo Yakhe. Ukuxolelwa kwethu sikuthola kuphela lapho igazi likaKristu lisetshenziswa ekuphileni kwethu.
