U-Tony Evans Ufundisa KumaHeberuIsampula
Uyakhumbula i-layway? I-Layaway isivumelwano lapho umthengisi wento eyibambela ikhasimende kuze kube yilapho lelo khasimende selikhokhe inani eliphelele laleyo nto ngezitolimende. Ikhasimende belikhokha kancane lapha futhi kancane laphaya futhi liqhubeka likwenza lokhu kuze kube yilapho zonke izinkokhelo ezidingekayo sezikhokhelwe into. Kodwa-ke, kwesinye isikhathi ikhasimende alisoze lazikhokha zonke, futhi into ayisoze yaqiniseka.
Kuneqiniso elibalulekile kodwa elinganakiwe mayelana noSuku Lokubuyisana eTestamenteni Elidala. Lapho umpristi engena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele, ukuze enze umhlatshelo wesilwane ukuze ahlawulele izono zabantu, sasingekho isihlalo. Ngeke usithole isihlalo encazelweni yetabernakele. Yayingekho indawo yokuthi umpristi ahlale phansi. Kungani? Ngoba umsebenzi wakhe awuzange uphele. Lona kwakuwumsebenzi ayewuphindaphinda ephindelela. Kwakuyicebo likaNkulunkulu lokulahla. Umpristi kwakufanele ahlawulele izono lapha futhi ahlawulele izono nalaphaya. Kodwa wayengeke akwazi ukukhokha ngokugcwele. Lalingekho ikhambi elihlala njalo lenkinga yesono eTestamenteni Elidala.
Ngokushesha, incwadi yamaHeberu ibeka ukugxila kuJesu Kristu kanye nokuba yingqayizivele Kwakhe ukuze isikhuthaze ukuba singayeki. Sibona uJesu eyindlalifa yazo zonke izinto, amandla okudala kanye nomfanekiso oqondile kaNkulunkulu, umlondolozi wokuphila kanye nenhlawulo ephelele yezono zethu. Ngemva kokuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga ngokufa njengomthwali wesono sethu, waphinde wahlangana noBaba osezulwini, futhi wahlala phansi. Kwathi uJesu esefile esiphambanweni, kwangena isihlalo ezulwini ngoba lokhu kwakungamele kuphindwe. Kwaba kanye kwaphela. Ake ngikubeke ngenye indlela. Incwadi kaJohane ithi igama likaJesu lokugcina lalithi tetelestai, okusho ukuthi “kufeziwe.” Kungani uJesu ayengasho kanjalo? Ngoba isikweletu sakhokhwa ngokugcwele futhi insindiso yethu yavikeleka.
Akukhuthaza kanjani amazwi kaJesu okugcina?
