Uxolo

Izinto zokuqala kuqala: izikweleti lapha kusho izono kanye nabanamacala abenza okubi kithi. Noma kunjalo, ngenxa yokuthi sijwayele umqondo obambekayo wokuzuza noma ukulahlekelwa imali nsuku zonke, umqondo wesikweletu uyasiza ekuqondeni kwethu. Isono si yisikweletu.

Kunezinto ezintathu ezibalulekile okungafanele sizishaye indiva lapha.

Okokuqala, iBhayibheli licacile ukuthi sonke sidinga ukuthethelelwa ngokuphelele. Abanye abantu bawuthatha kalula umqondo wesono, njengokungathi yindaba encane nje, njengothuli oluncane ejazini, olungasulwa kalula. Isithombe sebhayibheli sesono sethu ngokudabukisayo sibanzi, sijulile futhi sikhona emhlabeni wonke.

• Isono sibanzi kunalokho esikucabangayo. Sivame ukuthatha isono njengezinto nje eziba sematheni njengokuhaha okumangalisayo, inkohlakalo enkulu, ukuphinga kanye nokubulala. Futhi sithambekele ekucabangeni izono njengalezo zinto thina esingenacala ngazo. Incazelo yeBhayibheli yesono ibanzi kakhulu futhi ihlanganisa nezono ezicashile neziyimfihlo ezingavamisile ukuvela obala: umona, ukukhaphela, ihlazo, ukuzenzisa, ukuzidla, ubugwala, njll. Eqinisweni, uJesu ukhomba ukuthi isono asikhona nje esenzweni, kusemcabangweni.
• Ngokulinganayo isono sijulile kunalokho esikucabangayo. Ukutheleleka okujulile, okungamahlalakhona okusebenze ngendlela yawo kuzo zonke izici zokuba umuntu: umzimba, ingqondo, umoya. Okukhathaza nakakhulu ukuthi isono asiyona nje into eyenzeka phakathi kwabantu ababili, futhi siphakathi kwethu noNkulunkulu.
• Isono naso singaphezu komhlaba wonke kunalokho esikukhathalelayo ukusivuma. Akekho okhululiwe kuso. Lokhu kuyinto iBhayibheli elingasitsheli ngayo nje; kuyakubonakalisa kuKristu. Empilweni yakhe, njengoba kubonakala emavangelini, sibona kubekwe phambi kwethu izinga lokuphelela okungekho noyedwa wethu ongahlangabezana nalo.

Okwesibili, kukhona ithuba lokuthethelela. Enye yezinto ezinonya kakhulu yinoma iyiphi inkolo noma uhlelo lwezinkolelo ukulahla abantu ngesono ngaphandle kokumemezela intethelelo ngesikhathi esifanayo. Ukwenza lokhu kufana nodokotela ekutshela ukuthi unesifo esibi kodwa angakunikezi ikhambi ngasikhathi sinye. Injabulo yobuKristu igxile kuNkulunkulu wentethelelo; ngaye izono zethu zithethelelwe. Uhlelo lweTestamente Elidala lwalusekelwe embonweni wemihlatshelo yezilwane eyayisusa isono sekholwa. Itestamente Elisha lichaza iqiniso elijulile lokuthi leyomihlatshelo yayikhomba emhlatshelweni omkhulu kaJesu esiphambanweni. Izikweletu zethu zingakhokhwa kuphela uma sizovumela uNkulunkulu azikhokhe. Izono zethu zingasulwa; kuKristu singakhululwa kuzo.

Okwesithathu, nakuba lokhu kuthethelela kwamahhala kuyizindaba ezinhle kakhulu, kuza nesibopho. Abathethelelwe kumele bathethelele. Lokhu kwenza umqondo ophusile; uma umuthi wokuthethelela siwunikiwe ukuze siphulukise izono zethu, ngeke sikwazi ukuwugodla kulabo abasonile. Lesi simiso ngokuvamile asiqondwa ngendlela yokuthi abanye abantu bacabange ukuthi intethelelo kaNkulunkulu incike ekubeni sithethelele kuqala. Iqiniso liwukuthi uNkulunkulu uthethelela kuqala futhi ngokukhululekile; kodwa kukhona ukucabanga ukuthi uma sithethelelwe, impendulo yethu yemvelo kufanele kube ukuthi lokho kuthethelela kuvele kuphuphume ekuthetheleleni kwabanye. Kukhona ukuxhumana okunganqamuki phakathi kokuthethelelwa nokuthethelela. Phikelela!

Angisho ukuthi ukuxolela kulula. Kulula ukusho ngesenzo esithile sokungabi namusa noma ukukhohlisa ‘kuthethelelwe’. Iqiniso liwukuthi akhona amanxeba ajula kakhulu kangangokuthi ukuphulukiswa kungathatha isikhathi nosizo oluvela kuMoya oNgcwele.

Kuhle ukukhumbula, futhi, ukuthi nakuba sithethelelwe esiphambanweni, sidinga njalo ukuza kuNkulunkulu ukuze sithethelelwe. Ubuhlobo bethu obusha noNkulunkulu njengomzali wethu ophelele budinga ukuba sicacise ngalokho esikwenzile okungalungile lapho sihlangana naye. Isono esingavunywanga nesingathethelelwe siba umgoqo phakathi kwakhe nathi futhi silimaza ubuhlobo bethu. Njengoba sicela isinkwa semihla ngemihla, kufanele sicele intethelelo nsuku zonke.
