Isiphambano & UmqheleIsampula
Ngoba Uyaphila
Iqiniso lokuthi uJesu Kristu wavuka kwabafileyo lisinika isisekelo esiphelele, esingangabazeki sakho konke okunye esikukholelwayo. Okokuqala, sinokuqiniseka ngokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wethu uyaphila. Ujesu wayengeyena nje umshumayeli othile ojikelezayo noma umfundisi; Wathi unguMesiya, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo (NgokukaMathewu 16:16-17). Inkosi yatshela abafundi Bayo ukuthi ukumbona kwakuwukubona uBaba (NgokukaJohane 14:9); futhi empeleni, leso kwakungesinye sezizathu ezenza eze—ukwembula uBaba osezulwini ukuze siqonde ukuthi unjani.
Zonke ezinye izinhlelo zezinkolelo zinalabo abazibiza ngonkulunkulu bazo, kodwa siyazi ukuthi abaholi bazo bangcwatshwe kuphi, okungabaza “ubunkulunkulu” babo. Ukristu wavuka kwabafileyo ukuze aqinisekise futhi enze kube kanye ukuthi uNkulunkulu wethu uwukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso, uMdali wazo zonke izinto. Lowo owenza ngamunye wethu angeke abunjwe yithi. Lowo esimkhonzayo uyaphila—akafile, angapheliyo, noma umbono osengqondweni yomuntu. Cabanga ngalokhu: Ngaphandle kwalapho ukholelwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, khona-ke ukhunza enye into noma awukhonzi nhlobo, isimo u-Isaya asibheka njengesiwubuwula futhi uPawulu asibiza ngokuthi esidabukisayo. Kungani? Ngoba nje abantu abangenaye uKristu ophilayo abanaso isiqiniseko salutho.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uyazibuza, Pho, uma uKristu ephila, uphi yena? Wenzani na?UmBhalo wembula ngokusobala ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ngakwesokunene sikaYise, esinxusela (KumaHeberu 7:25; 10:12). UnguNkulunkulu ophilayo okhathalelayo, othandayo, ozwayo, futhi ophendula imithandazo yethu. UyiNkosi yethu ethethelelayo, ehlezi esimela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iNkosi uJesu inguNkulunkulu iNdodana, olungiselela indawo ngamunye wethu okholwa yiyo (NgokukaJohane 14:2). UnguMsindisi futhi ovukile owathembisa abafundi Bakhe ukuthi, nakuba ayezohamba, wayengeke abashiye njengezintandane—uJesu wabaqinisekisa ngokuthi wayezothumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba afundise futhi aqondise ngamunye wabalandeli Bakhe aze abuye (NgokukaJohane 14:16, 18).
Ngakho-ke namuhla, wonke umuntu okholwayo uhlaliswa uMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, kusukela lapho ethola uKristu njengoMsindisi. NjengamaKristu, sibekwe uphawu kuze kube phakade osukwini lokuhlengwa lapho sibizelwa ekhaya ezulwini. uNkulunkulu wethu uyaphila futhi uyasebenza ezimpilweni zabantwana Bakhe, futhi ukulungele ukusindisa noma yibaphi abazimisele ukuvuma isono futhi bamukele isipho sentethelelo Asinika ngesihle.
