Thola i AppUkuthula Emhlabeni: Uhlelo lwezinsuku ezingu-5 lomkhuleko we- AdventIsampula
Namuhla, sifunda u-Isaya 26:1-13. Kungase kubonakale kuyisiqephu esiyinqaba ochungechungeni lwe-Advent, kodwa sisibonisa okuthile okubalulekile ngoJesu, okuthile okuchaza ukuthi kungani eze emhlabeni.
Lolu chungechunge lwe-Advent lukhuluma ngoJesu oletha ukuthula. Kodwa lapho esemhlabeni, uJesu wathi, “Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni. Angizanga ukuletha ukuthula, kodwa inkemba. ( NgokukaMathewu 10:34)
Kusho ukuthini lokho?
Kusho ukuthi uJesu akezanga ukuze nje asenze sijabule. Uguqula izimpilo zethu futhi ubuse phezu kwezinhliziyo zethu. Entshumayelweni ka-1956 kaMathewu 10:34, uMartin Luther King Jr. wachaza, “Ukuthula akukhona nje ukungabibikho kwezingxabano, kodwa ukuba khona kobulungiswa.”
KuGenesise 1, uNkulunkulu uletha ukuhleleka esiphithiphithini. Udala zonke izinto, kuhlanganise nabantu—isiqongo sendalo Yakhe. Bese-ke Ephumula. Kungani? Ngoba yonke into yayilungile futhi inokuthula—kwakuyi-shalom. Futhi manje ngoJesu, uNkulunkulu wenza zonke izinto zibe zintsha futhi ubuyisela indalo ekuthuleni ( IsAmbulo 21-22)
uJesu akazange alethe ukuthula okuyize noma okumaphakathi. Ukuthula kwakhe akufani nalapho isiqhwaga sitshela ohlukunyezwayo ukuba angakhonondi noma abange izinkinga. Ukuthula kwakhe kuhlanganisa nobulungiswa. Kwenza izinto zilunge. Kukhulula izithunjwa. Kusinika intethelelo yezono zethu ngesijeziso—esibekezelelwa uJesu—ngenxa yezono zethu.
Umntwana osemkhombeni ubukeka emnene, futhi Unjalo. Kodwa futhi unguMvikeli wethu olungileyo, uMahluleli wethu ongcwele, noMhlatshelo wethu ongenasono.
Lapho kungekho noyedwa kithi ophelele, singayithola kanjani induduzo endabeni ekhuluma ngesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu? Hhayi ngomsebenzi wethu, kodwa ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kithi. Bheka futhi amavesi 3 no-12. Njengoba sincike kuNkulunkulu, usibekela ukuthula.

Kwabanye, isikhathi sikaKhisimusi singagcwala usizi, ubunzima, ubuhlungu, nokuhlukana.

Hlanganyela nathi kulesi sikhathi seAdvent sibheke ukuthula okulethwa uKristu.
