Ukuthola Ukuphumula Ngezigqi ZokuphilaIsampula

Isigqi Sokukhonza

Enye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu esingakhunjuzwa ngazo futhi sizizwele ukuphumula esikuthola kuKristu iwukukhonza. Sitshelwa ukuthi sihlengiwe futhi saguqulwa umsebenzi kaKristu, futhi umsebenzi wethu wempilo emhlabeni ukumema abantu endabeni yakhe. Njengoba uHenri Nouwen esho, “Ukugcwaliseka kwethu okukhulu kusekuzinikeleni kwabanye.”[7] Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, siqiniswa emiphefumulweni yethu lapho singakwazi ukukhonza abanye abantu. Kungeminye yaleyo migomo yombuso emihle, ebheke phansi lapho siqabuleka khona ngenkathi abanye besamukela.

Ngiyathanda ukuzwa izindaba zabantu abazizwele uthando lukaKristu ngendlela ehluke ngokuphelele ngesikhathi bezinikela enkonzweni. Ngikhumbula ngixoxa nomuntu owabhalisela ukuvolontiya enhlanganweni egxile ekusebenzeleni abafundi abakhubazekile. Wakhuluma ngokuba manqikanqika nokumelana kwakhe lapho ezibophezela ukukwenza kodwa wanquma ukulandela izwi lakhe. Ngosuku lokuqala, uthe umhlaba wakhe washintsha futhi akaphindanga waba umuntu ofanayo. Lo muntu waqala ukubona ukuthi izenzo zakhe ezincane nezilula zenkonzo zazinkulu kanjani ezimpilweni zalabo bafundi. Wabona ukuthi ukususa ukunaka kuye nokusebenzela abanye kwamsiza kanjani ukuba abone uthando lukaKristu ngamalensi amasha.

Kunezindlela ezingenakubalwa esingazithola zokusiza abanye. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuzinikela eqenjini yabafana namantombazane, ukuchitha isikhathi ekhaya lendawo lasebekhulile, noma ukusebenzisa isikhathi esontweni langakini, ukukhonza kungavusa ukuqwashisa abanye futhi kusisize ukuba sicabange ngaphezu kwethu kanye nesifiso sethu senjabulo nokwaneliseka.

Enye yezinto esizibona zenzeka eBhayibhelini kuJohane 13 lapho Inkosi yeNkazimul ewa ngamadolo futhi yawasha izinyawo zabalandeli bayo. Amandla kulesi senzo awakwazi ukweqiwa. Kulokhu, uJesu ubonisa ukuthi nakuba enawo wonke amandla, ukhetha ukuwasebenzisa ekuphakamiseni abanye ngaphezu kwakhe. uJesu ngokwakhe wathi uze ukuzokhonza hhayi ukuzokhonzwa. Wayeholwa nguMoya ngenkathi efuna ukusebenzela abanye. Sidinga amandla afanayo ukuze sisize, futhi. Kuyisifiso sethu ukugcwalisa umyalo wokuthanda umakhelwane wethu njengoba sizithanda okusisiza ukuba sibone ukuthi ayikho indlela okungenzeka ngayo lokhu ngaphandle kokuhola kukaMoya. Singaphumula lapho sazi ukuthi kukuye ukuba asisekele.
