Ukulangazelela kwethu Okukhulu

Imali, udumo, ubudlelwano, kanye nempumelelo—lezi zinto esizisukelayo—kuyizindlela zokuphela. Isifiso sethu esikhulu yinjabulo. Ukuthula. Ukwaneliseka.

Sithemba ukuthi imali ingasithengela ukuthula noma ubudlelwano buzosilethela injabulo. Kodwa impilo ayisebenzi njengoba sicabanga ukuthi kufanele. Izinto zinqwabelana nxazonke zethu futhi ziyehluleka ukukwanelisa. Ubudlelwano obuseduze bungaletha isiyaluyalu esikhulu. Ngakho ngokuvamile lezi zifiso ezinhle ezilangazelelwa—injabulo, ukuthula, ukwaneliseka—zibonakala zingaphezu kwamandla ethu. 

Mina nawe sobabili sidinga okuthile okukhulu kunalokho esingakwazi ukukuqoqa sisodwa. Sidinga okuthile ngaphandle kwethu, okuthile okuqinile, okuthile okuvikelekile. Le nto esiyifunayo, le nto sinethemba lokuyithola? Hhayi-ke, akuyona into ngempela. Ngumuntu. 

Isexwayiso somonakalisi: nguJesu. 

Ngiyazi ukuthi lokho kungase kuzwakale kulula. Kulula kakhulu, akunjalo? Nokho, kuningi kakhulu kuJesu kunalokho esikuqaphelayo. Ungumdali, umsekeli, nomthombo wakho konke okuhle, futhi ebukhoneni Bakhe “kugcwele intokozo” (AmaHubo 16:11). Lapho simazi ngokwengeziwe uJesu, yilapho siyazi kakhulu injabulo, ukuthula, nokwaneliseka. Ukufunda eyabaseFilipi kusisiza ukuba siqonde ukuthi ukumazi okwengeziwe kwenza umehluko onjalo. 

AbaseFiliphi isimemo senjabulo, esabhalwa umphostoli uPawulu owayeboshiwe kumakholwa ebandla lokuqala ayehlushwa ukuphikiswa. Inkulumo yakhe eqhubekayo kuyo yonke le ncwadi ithi “Jabulani!” 

Injabulo yakhe yayinganyakazi. Ukuthula kwakhe kwakulondekile. Ithemba lakhe lalichichima. Wakutholaphi ukujula kwengcebo phakathi nezimo ezinzima kangaka? Uphuze kumuphi umthombo owamgcwalisa kangaka? Wayifunda kanjani imfihlo yokwaneliseka? 

Ngingayifunda nami? 

Yonke le mibuzo isala engqondweni yami njengoba ngifunda eyabaseFilipi kaningi. Lapho ngitadisha ngokwengeziwe, kulapho ngiqaphela nakakhulu ukuthi injabulo kaPaul yayihluke kangakanani enjabulweni engivame ukuyifuna. Kaningi ngibeka inhliziyo yami egolideni lesiwula nengcebo yamanga kunengcebo etholakala kuKristu. Izinto zezwe—ikhaya elihle, umsebenzi wamaphupho, iholidi elimangalisayo, noma ukulondeka ngokwezimali—zingase zinikeze injabulo yesikhashana kodwa zihluleke ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuwanelisa. Akukubi ukujabulela noma iyiphi yalezi zinto; bamane abanele ukwaneliseka okuhlala njalo. Ngokushesha, alahlekelwa ukucwebezela kwawo. Ithemba lami nomkhuleko wami wukuthi sizoba ngabesifazane benjabulo engapheli. 

Yini ekulethela injabulo enkulu empilweni yakho njengamanje?
