“Ukuthanda Abangenalo Uthando”

Umvuzo wethu uyoba mkhulu, uJesu wathi, hhayi lapho sithanda abantu abasithandayo nathi, kodwa lapho sithanda “abangabongiyo nababi” njengoba kwenza uNkulunkulu.

Uma ushade nowakwakho onoNkulunkulu, onomusa, ophayo nocabangelayo, lowo kuyoba umvuzo wakho. Ngeke kube khona udumo olwengeziwe kwabasezulwini ngokujabulela umshado olula kunabaningi. Ngakho-ke uzoba namashumi eminyaka ejabulisayo, kuyilapho omunye umuntu engase akusebenzele ingunaphakade.

Uma, ngokwesibonelo, umngani wakho womshado ekuthatha kalula, ungase ungalokothi waziswa kulo mhlaba, kodwa usuku luyofika—uJesu uyathembisa!—lapho ubona uBabezala wakho wasezulwini ubuso nobuso ethi kuwe, “Wayithanda kakhulu indodana (noma indodakazi) Yami, nakuba ngazi ukuthi ayizange iqonde ukuthi wabusiswa ukuba ashade nawe. Manje, ake Nginibonise ukuthi ngichitha kanjani ingunaphakade lonke ngivuza labo abathanda egameni Lami. Thola imivuzo, ngena ekuphumuleni kwakho!”

Uyabona ukuthi ukukholelwa kulolo suku kuyishintsha kanjani indlela esichaza ngayo ukuthi yiluphi usuku oluhle lapha namanje? sizobheka amathuba okuthanda, ukukhonza, ukuqaphela, ukukhuthaza, kanye nokwazisa, esikhundleni sokuba sikhathazeke ngokuthi abantu esishade nabo basithanda kangakanani, basikhonza, basiqaphela, basikhuthaza, futhi basazisa kangakanani. Lokhu kuyakhuthaza kulabo kini abathathwa kalula. Masikhulume iqiniso: abanye benu bashade iziwula. Angiqondile ukuphaphatheka, kodwa iBhayibheli lithi kukhona iziwula, akunjalo? Kimina kubonakala sengathi kukhona okumele babashade. Mhlawumbe ukhethe esisodwa. Ngokombono wasemhlabeni, lokho kuyimpilo echithiwe. Ngokombono waphakade, unethuba lokuzilungiselela ingxoxo ejabulisayo nenelisayo ngokukhethekile esihlalweni sokwahlulela sikaKristu.

* Lezi ziqephu zikukhuthaza kanjani ukuthi uthande oshade naye noma kunzima? lesi sifundo sizoba nomthelela kanjani empilweni yakho yansuku zonke naye?
