Ukuthola Ukuphumula Ngezigqi ZokuphilaIsampula

Isigqi Sokugubha

Manje, lena akuyona into okuvame ukuxoxwa ngayo noma ebonwa njengento ebalulekile, kodwa ngingaphikisa ukuthi lona bekuwumbono owawuthandeka enhliziyweni kaJesu. Njengoba sesixoxile, okunye esikuthola ekulandiseni kwendalo kungase kufane nomgubho. Uma lokhu kuyiqiniso ngempela, iyiphi indlela engcono yokubhekisela ekuchazeni esikuthola emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu oqediwe kunokuthola izindlela zokugubha ndawonye. 

Kusobala kukho konke ukulandisa kwamaVangeli ukuthi uJesu wayewazisa umkhosi. Hlola izincwadi ezine zokuqala zeTestamente Elisha futhi ubone ukuthi uJesu wayevame kangakanani ukuya esidlweni, eshiya ukudla, ekhuluma ngokudla (noma umcimbi), noma ukuya komunye. Singawubonakalisa umsebenzi kaJesu osuphelile ezinhliziyweni zethu lapho siphuphuma injabulo sikhumbula lokho asisindise kukho. Thina, njengabantu bokholo, akufanele sikuthole kunzima ukushintshela esimweni sokugubha. 

Ngesizathu esithile, abalandeli bakaJesu abaningi—besikhathi esidlule nabamanje—abaziwa kakhulu ngobuso babo obujabulisayo noma obugumbayo. Kungani sesiphenduke abantu abadume kakhulu ngokuba yizidlakela kanye nabakhatheleyo? Mhlawumbe asisenzi isigqi sokugubha futhi sisivumela ukuthi silethe inkumbulo yalokho esisindiswe kukho.

Sibona uJesu ejwayele ukukhumbuza abantu ukuthi kudingeka babe nokholo njengengane encane. Kukhona izinga lokungabi nacala nokuhlanzeka ngalo mbono esingamatanisa nawo kalula. Enye yezinto engicabanga ukuthi izingane zenza kahle ngendlela emangalisayo abantu abadala abaningi abangakwenzi ukudlala. Izingane ziyazi ukuthi kunjani ukuba nomoya omncane nekhono lokujabulela ngisho nezinto ezincane futhi zibone ukubaluleka kwazo. Abacindezelwe yizo zonke izingozi nezinselelo emhlabeni kodwa bavumela izinhliziyo zabo ezihlanzekile ukuthi zigubhe ngokukhululekile. Abadingi isenzakalo esikhethekile sokudlala nokuba nephathi. Lokhu kuyinto engikholelwa ukuthi uJesu ufisa ukuba siyizwe ngenxa yomsebenzi wakhe. Ekuphumuleni kwethu, ufisa ukuba ‘sijwayele ukubonga’ njengoba kusho kwabaseKolose 2:7. Ufuna sibe “nokuphila futhi sibe nakho kuchichime,” njengoba esho kuJohane 10:10 ( LEB). Uqaphelwa njengofisa ukuba “injabulo [His] igcwale” ezinhliziyweni zethu (NgokukaJohane 15:11; 16:24). Ufuna sikhululeke ngo kugubha kanye nokudlala.

Uma singazijwayeza isigqi sokugubha, singamema abanye endabeni kaNkulunkulu kanye nokunye akwethule khona ezimpilweni zethu. Uma ngicela abangani bami nomakhelwane ukuthi bahlanganyele etafuleni lami futhi bahlanganyele nomndeni wami ekugubheni, ngivula umnyango wokuthi ngingakwazi ukunikeza isizathu sethemba esinalo kuJesu. Empeleni, thina balandeli bakaJesu nabamukeli bokuphumula okuvela kuKristu kufanele kube yibona abenza amaphathi nemikhosi engcono kakhulu ngoba sinokuthile okufanele sikugubhe ngempela!

Ukuzijwayeza isigqi sokugubha kuletha umbono nokulinganiswa. Lapho sigubha ngisho nezinto ezincane, ukubonga kwethu kuyanda futhi ukuvuma kwethu isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwethu kuhlale kuphakanyiswa. Eminye yemigubho emihle kakhulu ingenziwa kwezinye zezindawo ezibonakala zijwayelekile. Ukugubha abanye futhi kusisiza ukuba senze abantu bazizwe bethandwa futhi baziswa kuyilapho kusikhumbuza ukuthi ukuphila kwethu akukona nje okuphathelene nathi. 

Ukuphakamisa abanye nokubathanda kahle kuwumkhuba osuselwe ekulondekeni okutholakala emsebenzini oqediwe kaJesu.
