Ungavumeli Inhlebo Iqede Ubudlelwano Bakho

Sivame ukucabanga inhlebo njengesinye salezo zono “ezincane”. Kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma ngenhlebo, uyibeka ohlwini lwezinto ezinjengokuziphatha okubi kobulili nokubulala. Kungani? Ngoba bulimaza kakhulu ubudlelwano. Inhlebo ingahlukanisa ubungani, imindeni, namabandla.

Inhlebo ikhuluma ngesimo nomuntu ongeyona ingxenye yesixazululo noma ingxenye yenkinga. Uma sithembekile kithi ngokwethu, esikwenzayo kuwukuzenza sizizwe sibaluleke kakhulu ngezindleko zomunye umuntu. Sikhuluma ngobuhlungu babo nezinkinga zabo ukuze sizizwe singcono kunabo ngokuziphatha. Lokho kuyingozi kanye nokulimala kokuhleba.

Kunendaba eTestamenteni Elidala mayelana nomndeni owawunenkinga yokuhleba. UMose wayenodadewabo uMiriyamu okwathi ngolunye usuku wahileleka ekuhlebeni ngoMose phakathi kwabo bonke abanye abantu. UNkulunkulu wabiza uMose noMiriyamu futhi waba nengxoxo encane. Wakhuluma noMiriyamu futhi wamtshela lokho ayekwenzile futhi khona lapho wamnika uchoko. Ungase ucabange, “Lokho kuzwakala kubi, kodwa ngingathanda ukuthi lokho kwenzeke kumuntu ongihlebile. Mhlawumbe hhayi uchoko—kodwa umkhuhlane wesisu omubi ngempela, ukuze lowo muntu azi ukuthi lokhu kubuhlungu kangakanani.”

Uyazi yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabe esenzani? Wacela uMose ukuba athandazele ukuphulukiswa kukaMiriyamu—umuntu owamhleba.

Abanye benu balinyazwe kakhulu yinhlebo kanye nezinto ezishiwo ehhovisi noma ukungazethembi phakathi komngani noma ilungu lomndeni. Nakhu uNkulunkulu akusho kuwe: “Mkhulekele lowo ohleba ngawe ukuze ukhululwe ekulimaleni kwakho.”

Noma mhlawumbe uwena ohlebayo. Le ndaba iseTestamenteni Elidala ukuze isikhumbuze ukuthi inhlebo imbi kangakanani nokuthi ingaba buhlungu kangakanani kubantu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuluphi uhlangothi.

Uma ugcina ukwethenjwa, kukwenza ukwazi ukuxhumana nabanye ngezindlela ezikhiqizayo, ezinempilo, neziyiqiniso.

IzAga 11:13 zithi, “Inhlebi ikhohlisa imfihlo, kepha umuntu othembekile ugcina imfihlo” (NIV)

Ingabe uluhlobo lomuntu olungagcina izinto ezithenjwayo zabantu ukuze bakwethembe?
