Khuleka Izinto EzinkuluIsampula

Thatha Isinyathelo

Ibhayibheli lisiyala ukuba ‘sembathe iNkosi uJesu Kristu, singalingiseleli inyama’ (KwabaseRoma 13:14) futhi ‘sithumbe yonke imicabango ekulaleleni kukaKristu (KwabaseKorinte 10:5). Usitshela ukuthi silawule imicabango yethu ngoba eqinisweni siyakwazi ukuyilawula. Ukuveza imizwa yethu kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokwelapha, kodwa asikwazi ukunamathela emizweni yethu. Umuzwa awukwazi ukuthatha indawo yokucabanga. Asinakho ukukhetha emizweni yethu, kodwa sinokukhetha okukhulu emicabangweni yethu.

Phakathi neminyaka yami ngisemsebenzini wangemva kokuthweswa iziqu, ngangizwa izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo ziqinisekisa lesi simo ocwaningweni ngokusebenza kobuchopho kanye nemicabango exakile, siphethe ngokuthi abantu empeleni banamaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nanhlanu okulawula imicabango yabo. Ake sithi amaphesenti amahlanu asele ayizimpi ezingokomoya noma izimpendulo ezizenzakalelayo ezivela ekuhlukumezeni nasekubangeleni. Imfundiso yezenkolo neyokusebenza kwengqondo icacile: sinokukhetha kokuningi kwalokho esikukholelwayo ngesimo sethu, ngabanye, nangoNkulunkulu.

Indaba yokuhlupheka iyavela lapho sifuna ukucela imithandazo emikhulu kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka kokubili komuntu siqu kanye nomhlaba wonke kunendlela yokusimisa ngaphambi kokuba siqale. Ngisho noJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wamemeza esiphambanweni, “Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungishiyeleni na? (NgokukaMathewu 27:46). Lokhu kwenza ukungabaza ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu kubonakale kucishe kufezeke kulabo abasondelene kakhulu Naye. Phela, njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, sibuzwile ubuhle bakhe. Siyawazi amandla Akhe. Sinobudlelwane Naye—ngakho-ke mhlawumbe singase sizizwe sengathi ukekho kunalabo abangenabo.

Akukho okwakubonakala kukuhle ngokufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni. Abafundi babethukile, umsebenzi kaKristu wamiswa, noJesu wayesefile. Kodwa lowo bekuwumbono wangoLwesihlanu. ngeSonto ekuseni, lapho uJesu evuka kwabafileyo, abantu ekugcineni baqonda ukuthi zonke izinto zazenzekile ngesizathu—uJesu wakunqoba ukufa, ukuze sithole ukuphila okuphakade.

Unkulunkulu akazange awuphendule umthandazo kaJesu ngaphambi kwesiphambano sokuthi “susa le ndebe Kimi” (NgokukaLuka 22:42), kodwa uJesu “wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho” (KumaHeberu 5:8). Ukubalekela kuNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokubalekela uNkulunkulu phakathi nokuhlupheka akuyona impendulo engokwemvelo. Ukusabela okungaphezu kwemvelo uNkulunkulu ahlomisa ngayo abantwana Bakhe njengoba sigqolozele usizi, ukungaqiniseki, ukwesaba, futhi ngezinye izikhathi uSathane uqobo lwakhe ebusweni.

Vuma okukuvimbela ukuba uthembele kuNkulunkulu ngamaphupho akho. Mcele ukuhlakanipha nokholo ukuze uphumule ngendlela akhetha ukuphendula ngayo.
