Thola i AppUkuthula Emhlabeni: Uhlelo lwezinsuku ezingu-5 lomkhuleko we- AdventIsampula
Namuhla, sifunda eyabase-Efesu 2:11-22, esisiza sibone indlela ukuthula okumenyezelwa ngayo ngoKhisimusi akuthinti nje ubuhlobo bethu noNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi nobuhlobo bethu nabanye abantu.
Kulesi siqephu, uPawulu—indoda engumJuda efundiswe kahle ngomthetho weTestamente Elidala—ubhalela ibandla lase-Efesu. I-Efesu yayiseGrisi, futhi iningi labantu abezwa lencwadi kwakungabeZizwe, hhayi amaJuda.
Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze, uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwaludluliselwa ngokuyinhloko ngobuhlobo Bakhe besivumelwano nesizwe sakwa-Israyeli, hhayi nabeZizwe. Lapha, uPawulu utshela abeZizwe ukuthi uJesu wafela bonke abakholwa Kuye, ngakho abasashiywa ngaphandle. Badonselwa emfudumeni nasekukhanyeni komndeni kaNkulunkulu.
Azikho izakhamuzi zesigaba sesibili phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu, akekho nomntwana kaNkulunkulu omthanda kancane.
Lokhu kusho izinto ezimbili kithi:
- Uma uthembela kuJesu, wamukelekile emndenini wakhe, kungakhathaliseki ubuzwe bakho noma uhlanga noma isizinda sakho nanoma yini enye.
- Lapho abanye abantu bethembela kuJesu, bamukelwa emndenini wakhe. Uma uJesu wakhokha ngegazi lakhe, ayigugu ngendlela emangalisayo kuJesu. Balufanele ngokujulile uthando lwethu nenhlonipho njengabafowabo nodadewabo kuKristu.
