Ukhethiwe: Zikhumbuze NgeVangeli Nsuku ZonkeIsampula

“Kwanele manje, ngiyakuqeda konke.”

Lo mbhalo ubonakale ocingweni lomngani wami uRyan ovela enombolweni engaziwa ngoLwesibili ebusuku ngo-8:00 p.m. Wayesanda kuhlala kusofa ngemva kokwanga izingane zakhe ngemva kosuku olude. 

“Ngiyaxolisa, ubani lo?” ethumele umyalezo emuva.

Igama lakhe kwakunguSara. Wabona ukuthi uthumele inombolo okungeyona futhi waxolisa.
 

“Ima kancane” ebhala umlayezo. “Ngingasiza.” 

Baqala ukuthumelana umlayezo emuva naphambili cishe isigamu sehora. Wamtshela indaba yakhe. Kwakubuhlungu. Isilonda sokugcina esokuhlukana nesoka lakhe ebelimhlukumeza njengamanje. Wayelokhu ezama ukumtshela ngothando lukaJesu nokubaluleka kwakhe kuNkulunkulu naphezu kwakho konke ayekuzwa. Wamtshela ukuthi angasusi impilo yakhe embonweni womfana oneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili. 

“Sesiphelile isikhathi” wabhala umbhalo, “Ngisanda kwehlisela lonke ibhodlela lamaphilisi.” 

URyan wamncenga ukuthi amtshele ukuthi ukuphi. Wamtshela ukuthi uzofika nomkakhe bamlethe esibhedlela. Wamtshela, base bemphuthumisa esibhedlela, lapho odokotela belapha ngokushesha uSarah futhi basindisa ukuphila kwakhe. 

Ezinyangeni ezizayo, amehlo kaSarah avuleka kancane ukuze abone ukuthi ubaluleke kangakanani kuKristu. Waze wagcina eseyofunda eNyuvesi YamaKristu ukuze aphishekele icebo likaNkulunkulu ngempilo yakhe. UNkulunkulu wayemhlengile; Wayethathe ukuphila okubhekwa njengento engelutho emhlabeni wethu—futhi naye ngokwakhe—futhi wakuphenyisisa. Bekumfanele ukukufela. 

Ngenkathi umngani ethola i-MBA kwezamabhizinisi, uprofesa wezomnotho wafaka emakhanda abo umqondo oyisisekelo: Inani lento ethile inqunywa ukuthi yini umuntu azoyikhokhela. 

Inani elikhokhelwe ukuhlengwa kwethu yigazi likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Ingabe kungaba nenani elikhulu? Ingabe kukhona okungakwenza ubaluleke kakhulu? 

Silwa impi yansuku zonke ukuze sibeke ukubaluleka kwethu enanini uNkulunkulu asikhokhela lona. Sonke sinenye imali esiyisebenzisayo ukukala ukubaluleka kwethu. Sisebenzisa uhlobo lwemali lwezinto esizifezile, umndeni, ukubukeka, ingcebo, uhlanga, imfundo, ikhono lobuholi, ukuthonya , noma “ukugcwaliseka okungenalutho.” 

Abantu bazama ngamandla ukukhombisa ukubaluleka kwabo noma baphila ngaphansi kokudangala ngoba bezizwa bengafaneleki. 

Lona omunye wemiphumela enamandla yokushumayela iVangeli emphefumulweni wakho. Ukhumbuza umphefumulo wakho ngokubaluleka kwawo kuKristu ngokuzikhumbuza inani eliphakeme elakhokhwa ukuze uhlengwe.
