Thola i AppUJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“Ukwenza Okungenzeki Kube Khona”
Kulokhu kuhlangana, uJesu uthi kukhona okungalungile ngathi sonke—kodwa imali inamandla athile okusenza singakuboni. Eqinisweni, inamandla amakhulu okusikhohlisa esimweni sethu sangempela esingokomoya kangangokuthi sidinga ukungenela okunomusa, okuyisimangaliso okuvela kuNkulunkulu ukuze sikubone. Akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwesimangaliso. Ngaphandle komusa.
Cabanga ngendlela uJesu ayeluleka ngayo le nsizwa. Yebo, le ndoda yayidinga ukwelulekwa, nakuba ngaphandle yayibukeka idonswe ngokuphelele. Wayecebile, esemncane, futhi mhlawumbe emuhle—kunzima ukuceba nokuba mncane futhi ungabi muhle. Kodwa akazange abe nakho konke ndawonye. Ukube wakwenza lokho, wayengeke eze kuJesu futhi abuze, “Yini okumelwe ngiyenze ukuze ngizuze ifa lokuphila okuphakade na?”
Noma yimuphi umJuda oshisekayo wayeyoyazi impendulo yalo mbuzo. Orabi babehlale bebuza lo mbuzo emibhalweni yabo nasezimfundisweni zabo. Futhi impendulo yabo yayihlala ifana; zazingekho izikole zokucabanga ezihlukene kulokhu. Impendulo yayiwukuthi “Lalela izimiso zikaNkulunkulu futhi ugweme zonke izono.” Le nsizwa yayizoyazi le mpendulo. Pho wayebuzelani uJesu?
Amazwi kaJesu okuqonda athi “Inye into enintula ngayo” asivumela ukuba siwuthole umnyombo womzabalazo wale nsizwa. Indoda yayithi, “Uyazi ukuthini, ngenze konke kahle: Ngiye ngaphumelela kwezomnotho, ngaphumelela ngokwenhlalo, ngaphumelela ngokokuziphatha, ngaphumelela ngokwenkolo. Ngizwile ukuthi ungurabi omuhle, futhi ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini engikuphuthele, into engingayinaki. Ngizwa sengathi kukhona okushodayo.”
Yebo wayeshoda okuthile. Ngoba noma ubani othembele kulokho akwenzayo ukuze athole ukuphila okuphakade uyothola ukuthi, naphezu kwakho konke akufezile, kukhona ubuze, ukungazethembi, nokungabaza. Kukhona into ezoshoda nakanjani. Umuntu angakwazi kanjani ukuthi alungile ngokwanele?
Ungawuphishekela kanjani umsebenzi ophumelelayo futhi unganqotshwa ugibe oludalwa ingcebo? Yiziphi ezinye zezindlela ivangeli eliguqule ngazo—noma elingashintsha—umbono wakho ngemali?
