Ukuthethelela Okungenacala
Maye! okunzima kangakanani ukungakhangisi icala lomuntu ngokubukeka kwakhe. —ngu-Ovid
Icala likhulu… futhi linzima. Njengehange lomthofu eliboshelwe ezinyaweni zethu, izono zesikhathi esidlule—ezinkulu nezincane—zingasicwilisa olwandle olunamahloni. Lokhu kudala ukuthi abanye bethu bakholwe ngobuqotho ukuthi izono zethu azinakuthethelelwa ngumuntu (okungase kube yiqiniso), futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho noNkulunkulu (okungelona iqiniso!). Singagcina sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu akafuni ukusithethelela, noma okubi nakakhulu, ukuthi ngeke asithethelele.
Nokho, njengezikhathi eziningi ngaphambili, siyazi eBhayibhelini ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhluke ngokuphelele.
“… uthethelela ububi, nokuhlubuka, nezono.” (Eksodusi 34:7)
Uyathethelela. UNkulunkulu uBaba uyamthethelela lowo okholwa kuye ngokweqiniso. Uthethelela konke, futhi ukwenza ngokuphelele.
Ngokuba njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba,
umkhulu umusa wakhe kwabamesabayo;
njengoba impumalanga iqhelelene nentshonalanga,
kuze kube khashane usezisusile iziphambeko zethu kithi. (AmaHubo 103:11-12)
Kungase kudingeke ukuthi uvumele lokho kungene ngaphakathi okwesikhashana.
IBhayibheli liyincazelo yesimilo sikaNkulunkulu othethelelayo. Kuphelela eTestamenteni Elisha kumuntu kaJesu Kristu ngendlelayokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe. Konke kungenxa yokuthi unguBaba othethelelayo.
Yena [UJesu] wanikelwa ekufeni ngenxa yezono zethu futhi wavuswa ekuphileni ngenxa yokulungisiswa kwethu. (KwabaseRoma 4:25)
O Nkulunkulu, angifanelekele uthando Lwakho, futhi kakhulukazi intethelelo Yakho ngenxa yesono sami. NGIYABONGA KAKHULU ngokuba nozwelo, ngokuba nomusa, ngokuba nesineke kimi. Awubheki wedlule isono sami kuphela, kodwa ungisindise kuso! Ngiyabonga ngentethelelo Yakho. Ngiyakholelwa kukho. Ameni.
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Safundiswa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguBaba wethu futhi singabantwana Bakhe. Kodwa ukuhlobana noNkulunkulu njengoBaba akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi—ikakhulukazi uma obaba bethu basemhlabeni bezabalaza ukukhombisa uthando ebesilulangazelela. Kulolu cwaningo lwezinsuku ezingu-16, uPete Briscoe udonsela ukunaka kwethu kuNkulunkulu owenelisa konke ukulangazelela kwethu uthando—egqamisa indlela umBhalo uwembula ngayo ukuthi unguBaba wethu olungileyo nophelele.
