Thola i AppUmkhuleko: Ukuzinikela kwezinsuku ezingu-14 ngoTim KellerIsampula
ETestamenteni Elisha isimo sobuthathu bukaNkulunkulu siyacaca, kodwa zimbalwa izindawo ezicindezelwe neziqondile njengoMathewu 28:19, lapho uJesu ethumela abafundi Bakhe emhlabeni ukuba bayobhapathiza “egameni likaYise neleNdodana neleNdodana. uMoya oNgcwele.” Alisho “emagameni” kodwa kunalokho lithi uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele bonke banegama elilodwa. Kithina leli gama lingase libe ilebula noma uphawu olungalahlwa noma lushintshwe ngokuthanda kwakhe, kodwa ezikhathini zeBhayibheli, lalibonisa kona kanye ubunjalo bomuntu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele bonke banesimo esisodwa sobuNkulunkulu, ukuthi bangumuntu munye. Munye kuphela uNkulunkulu—hhayi abathathu. Nakuba uPawulu eqhubeka ekhuluma ngobunkulunkulu bukaKristu, ethi konke ukugcwala kobunkulunkulu kuhlezi Kuye (KwabaseKolose 2:9), nokho uthi “akekho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle koyedwa” ( 1 KwabaseKorinte 8:4)—UNkulunkulu unemvelo eyodwa., igama, kanye nokuba khona.
Imibono kaZiqu-zintathu kaNkulunkulu ngomthandazo miningi. Kusho ukuthi, okokuqala, uNkulunkulu ubelokhu enobungane obuphelele ngaphakathi Kwakhe. UYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele bayakhuleka omunye komunye, benikezana uthando olukhazimulayo, futhi bayathokoza omunye komunye. Ayikho intokozo esiyaziyo edlula ukuthandwa nothando njengembuyiselo, kodwa uNkulunkulu onguziqu-zintathu uzokwazi ukuthi uthando nenjabulo ngezilinganiso ezingenakucatshangwa, ezingapheli. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu ujabule ngokujulile, ugcwele intokozo ephelele—hhayi ukuthula okungasho lutho kodwa injabulo enonya yobudlelwane bothando obunamandla. Ukwazi lo Nkulunkulu akukhona ukweqa imizwelo noma imicabango kodwa ukugcwaliswa ngothando olukhazimulayo nenjabulo.
