Ukubanethonya ngesibindiIsampula

USUKU 1 KWEZINGU- 5

Ithonya Lisizungezile 

Uke waqaphela ukuthi amahora amaningi ngemva kokukhuluma ngendawo yokudlela entsha, umkhiqizo, incwadi, noma uhlobo lomkhiqizo, uthola isikhangiso esixhasiwe ku-Instagram kuleyo nkampani ngqo? Kuyinto esabekayo. Singakubeka kumlingo wokumaketha—kodwa uma sikubiza ngokuthi kuyini—kuyithonya.

Ulimi lusebenza ngendlela efanayo. Amagama anjengokuthi “kuhle,” “kuyabab,” noma imishwana efana nokuthi, “ngikhiphele imali,” ivuse i-inthanethi ngenxa yama-gif, ama-meme, nesiko le-pop. Bese, bonke abangani bakho bayakusho. Yini leyo? Ithonya.

Kuyenzeka futhi emibuthanweni yethu yangaphakathi. Iqiniso liwukuthi—siba njengabantu esichitha isikhathi nabo. Uma abangani bakho benemidlalo yezicathulo eziku-point, cishe uqala ukuba nentshisekelo kakhulu ezicathulweni. Uma abangani bakho besho amagama athile ngendlela yokugcizelela, ungase uqale kancane ukukwenza, nawe. Lokho kunomthelela.

Njengoba singabantu abahlukile, sisengozini enkulu yokuba nomthelela. Esikweni lanamuhla, ithonya linzima nakakhulu ukulibona. Kusukela ku-YouTuber oyintandokazi yakho, kuya kuleyo akhawunti ye-Instagram ohlale ubuyela kuyo, siyathonywa njalo—noma ngabe siyakuqaphela noma cha.

Eqinisweni, ukuba “ngumgqugquzeli” njengomsebenzi manje sekungomunye wemisebenzi eyiphupho yokuqala entsheni. Ngakho-ke, kunemakethe ekhulayo kule nkathi yedijithali yokuthonya. Lokho kuphakamisa umbuzo obalulekile: Ingabe amathonya owakhethayo akuholela eduze noNkulunkulu noma akuphushele kude Naye?

Manje, ngaphambi kokuthi uqale ukuhlanganisa imakrofoni yefoni yakho noma ungalandeli i-vlogger yakho oyithandayo, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi akuwona wonke umthelela omubi. Futhi uma sihlala ephuzwini lethu elincane, asisoze sazuza ithonya esibizelwe ukuba nalo njengabalandeli bakaKristu. Kodwa, ukuthi ubani esilalela izindaba zakhe. Futhi uma sizoba abanamandla, kufanele silalele amazwi alungile.

UJesu wakhuluma ngokubaluleka kokuqaphela izwi Lakhe lapho ezifanisa nomalusi, nathi nezimvu Zakhe. Izimvu ziyalazi izwi likaMalusi. Ukuqaphela iphimbo likaJesu ezimpilweni zethu kusisiza ukuba sivumelane namanye amazwi esiwavumelayo. Izwi lakhe lizwakala ngokwehlukile kithi sonke. Ngokuvamile alizwakali. Kodwa iBhayibheli liyasithembisa ukuthi lapho sifuna uNkulunkulu, sizomthola. Futhi uma sisondela kuye, naye uyosondela kithi.

Sifana nalabo esichitha nabo isikhathi. Ngakho, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezizayo, sizobheka ukuthi singawakhetha kanjani amathonya ethu ngokuhlakanipha, kungani sithonya izinto, nendlela yokusebenzisa ithonya lethu siqu ukuze sikhazimulise uNkulunkulu.

Inselelo: Xoxani ngohlu lwabantu, ama-akhawunti, noma abantu abaku-inthanethi abakuthonya kakhulu. Linganisa ukuthi lawo mathonya akuthinta kanjani. Ungasho ukuthi lawo mathonya akuholela eduze kuKristu, akusunduzele kude Naye, noma akunjalo?
