Thola i AppIthemba InguMuntu Isampula
Ithemba liwumgogodla wokholo lwethu
KumaHebheru 11:1 ayasitshela, “Ukholo lubonisa ubuqiniso balokho esikwethembayo; liwubufakazi bezinto esingenakuzibona.”
Lesi isitatimende esiyiqiniso sanoma yini esibeka ithemba lethu kuyo. Sihlakulela ukholo esitulweni lapho sihlala futhi isihlalo siseseka, emotweni yethu lapho iduma ngaphandle kwenkinga, kanye nasekuthengeni igilosa esitolo. Siyaqiniseka ukuthi lezi zinto zizoqhubeka ngokusekelwe yisipiliyoni sethu. Kodwa lapho leso sihlalo siphuka, imoto ingadumi, noma ingekho igilosa emashalofini, ithemba lethu nokulindela kwethu kuyashabalala kanye nokholo nokulondeka kwethu kulezo zinto.
Ukukholwa kwethu kuNkulunkulu nakho kuncike ethembeni lethu. Ukholo lwethu lungasimama futhi luvikeleke ngoba isimilo Sakhe sihlala siqinile, singanyakazi, futhi singaguquki. Unguye izolo, namuhla, futhi usazoba njalo naphakade. Ufakazela ukwethembeka Kwakhe lapho ilanga libonisa inkazimulo yalo njalo ekuseni, lapho intwasahlobo ihlale ilandela ubusika obumnyama, futhi izimvula ziza ukuze zigcwalise umhlaba. Njengoba sibeka ithemba lethu Kuye, ukholo lwethu nalo luyohlala, luvikelekile eqinisweni nezithembiso Zakhe ezingaguquki. Ithemba Kuye liwumgogodla—ukusekelwa—kokholo lwethu.
Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, ngoba uhlelo lwethu lokukholelwa luphinde lulawule imizwa yethu. Uma sifuna ukuzinza ngokomzwelo futhi silondeke, ukukholelwa kwethu kufanele kube kokuthile—Othile—naye ozinzile futhi ovikelekile. Singathola ukulondeka nokwanela kwethu kuNkulunkulu weThemba elingenamkhawulo, noma singakufuna ngaphakathi kwethu. Ukuzanelisa kwethu—umzamo wethu wokuzama ukubhekana nempilo sisodwa—kusinikeza inkohliso yokulawula, kodwa kungamanga futhi ekugcineni siyohluleka. Uma ithemba lethu selifile, mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi silibeke ezintweni ezingalungile noma kubantu abangalungile.
KwabaseRoma 5:5 isitshela ukuthi “...ithemba alisihlazi…” futhi inguqulo ye-NLT ithi “...lelithemba ngeke liholele ekudumazekeni…”. Elpis,igama lesiGreki elithi themba kuleli vesi lisho ukulindela ngokuqiniseka kokuthile okuhle. uPawulu wayenxusa amaRoma, nakithi, ukuba sibeke ukuzethemba kwethu, ukwethemba kwethu, ithemba lethu esimweni esingaguquki nesimo sikaNkulunkulu, uMuntu Wethemba, kunokuba sibeke ithemba lethu noma emiphumeleni ethile.
Ukuthembela kuphela kuNkulunkulu, indawo yokuqala ekusebenzeni kokholo lwethu, okuzosigcina siqhubekela phambili lapho impilo ibhidlika. Nguye kuphela othembekile nongathenjwa. Ukwethembeka kuye akusoze kwadumaza.
Uzokhetha ukubeka ithemba lakho esimeni sikaNkulunkulu esingaguquki noma uzontenga okholweni lwakho, ubeke ithemba kulokho okulindele na?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Lapho isimo sethu esijwayelekile sihlakazeka ngenxa yezehlakalo ezishintsha ukuphila ngokuvamile sisala nokwesaba, ukukhathazeka, ukudabuka kwenhliziyo, kanye nokudumala, ekugcineni kusiholela ekuphelelweni yithemba. Amathemba ethu namaphupho ethu afiphazwa iqiniso elinzima lempilo. Kodwa ithemba akulona nje isifiso esidlulayo, Ithemba liwuMuntu!
