Thola i AppUJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“Okungaphezu Kwalokho Obekulindele”
Ngezinye izikhathi lapho ngiya kuJesu, uvumela izinto zenzeke engingaziqondi. Akenzi izinto ngohlelo lwami, noma ngendlela enengqondo kimi. Kodwa uma uJesu enguNkulunkulu, kufanele abe mkhulu ngokwanele ukuba abe nezizathu zokukuvumela ukuba udlule ezintweni ongaziqondi. Amandla akhe awanamkhawulo, kodwa kanjalo nokuhlakanipha kwakhe nothando lwakhe. Imvelo ayinandaba nawe, kodwa uJesu ugcwele uthando olungaguquki ngawe. Ukube abafundi babazi ngempela ukuthi uJesu uyabathanda, ukube babeqonda ngempela ukuthi unamandla futhi unothando, babengeke besabe. Umbono wabo, wokuthi uma uJesu wayebathanda wayengeke avumele izinto ezimbi zenzeke kubo, wawungalungile. Angakwazi ukuthanda umuntu kodwa avumele izinto ezimbi zenzeke kuye, ngoba unguNkulunkulu—ngoba wazi kangcono kunabo.
Uma unoNkulunkulu omkhulu ngokwanele futhi onamandla ngokwanele ukuba uthukuthele ngenxa yokuthi akakuvimbi ukuhlupheka kwakho, futhi unoNkulunkulu omkhulu ngokwanele futhi onamandla ngokwanele ukuba abe nezizathu ongaziqondi. Awukwazi ukuba nazo zombili izindlela. Uthisha wami u-Elisabeth Elliot wakubeka kahle ngemisho emibili emifushane: “UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu, futhi njengoba enguNkulunkulu, ukufanele ukukhulekelwa kwami nenkonzo yami. Ngeke ngikuthole ukuphumula kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwentando yakhe, futhi leyo ntando ingenasiphelo, ngokungenakulinganiswa, ngendlela engachazeki ngale kwemibono yami emikhulu yalokho aphezu kwayo.” Uma ubhekene nesivunguvungu, amandla aso awalawuleki. Ukuphela kwendawo ophephela kuyo kusentandweni kaNkulunkulu.Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi unguNkulunkulu futhi awusiye, intando kaNkulunkulu ingaphezu kwemibono yakho emikhulu yalokho aphezu kwayo, ngokungenakulinganiswa. .Uphephile “Yebo akaphephile ubani oke wathi uphephile kodwa muhle uyiNkosi”.
Singaba kanjani nokuthula kuKristu ngezimo ezivame ukudala ukukhathazeka kanye/noma ukuphelelwa ithemba? Kukuphi empilweni yakho lapho ulinde khona ukuthi uJesu akunikeze usizo?
