Ukuzuza Ukuhlakanipha KukaNkulunkuluIsampula

Isisekelo Esilungile 

KuMathewu 7:24-29, uJesu ufundisa ngesisekelo esakhela kuso izimpilo zethu. Wathi lowo olalela imfundiso yakhe ayilandele uhlakaniphile. Bakhe isisekelo sabo phezu kwedwala eliqinile, elingeke linyakaze noma lisuke lapho kufika iziphepho. Kodwa yilowo nalowo ozwa imfundiso yakhe futhi angakulandeli uyisiwula. Isisekelo sabo sibekwe phezu kwesihlabathi, esiphazamiseka kalula lapho kufika imimoya nemvula.  

Ngamunye wethu wakhele izimpilo zethu esisekelweni. Umbuzo uwukuthi, hlobo luni? 

Ingabe impilo yethu yakhelwe emathembeni nasemaphusheni abanye? Uma sifuna ukujabulisa abantu ezimpilweni zethu—ngisho noma kusho ukuthi asihlali sithembekile ezinkolelweni zethu—khona-ke isisekelo sethu siphezu kwabo. Lokhu kuyingozi, ngoba abantu bayashintsha, futhi uma kwenzeka, isisekelo sethu siyabhidlika.

Ingabe sibeka ithemba lethu ezintweni ezidlulayo na? Uma ithemba lethu lisezinjabulweni zenyama nokubukeka kwenyama, khona-ke ngokuqinisekile sizodumala futhi izimpilo zethu ziphazamiseke. Nganoma yiluphi usuku, imali yethu nokubukeka kwethu kungashintsha. 

Ingabe siyakuthola ukulondeka namandla ethu ezindleleni zomhlaba? Uma sibeka ithemba lethu kulokho umhlaba osinika kona, isisekelo sethu siyohlala siguquguquka. Uhlelo lwenkolelo abaningi emphakathini wethu ababambelele ngokuqinile ezinguqukweni kuye ngezifiso zabantu.  

Noma sizitshale siqinile kuJesu Kristu na? Uma isisekelo sethu singazinzi futhi siqinile, “indlu” yethu ngeke ibe nendawo yokuma. Uma isisekelo sethu singokwesikhashana, sizobe sesehluleka ngesikhathi “okwesikhashana” kushintsha. Kodwa, uma sigxile eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu futhi sifuna ukwenza uJesu impilo yethu yonke, khona-ke lapho kufika ubunzima nosizi, sinesisekelo esingeke sinyakaze. Impela, izimpilo zethu noma “indlu” ingase idinge ukulungiswa okuthile futhi ihlukane ezindaweni, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi isisekelo sethu sivikelekile kuJesu, singakha kabusha izimpilo zethu ethembeni esinalo Kuye. 

Chitha isikhathi esithile uhlaziya ukuthi isisekelo sakho sakhelwe kuphi. Enye indlela yokwazi ukuzibuza le mibuzo elandelayo:

Uma umuntu engimthandayo ehluleka noma elahlekelwa iphupho lakhe, ingabe umhlaba wami uyabhidlika?
Lapho umzimba wami ushintsha ngenxa yokuguga, ingabe ngiyacindezeleka noma ngicasuke?
Uma i-akhawunti yami yomhlalaphansi ingachumi, ingabe ngisazizwa ngivikelekile?

Uma uthole ukuthi isisekelo sakho sakhelwe phezu kwanoma yini enye ngaphandle kukaJesu Kristu, akukephuzi kakhulu ukuthi usakhe kabusha. Uma nje kunomoya emaphashini ethu, kuhlale kunethuba lokuguqula izimpilo zethu futhi siphilele inkazimulo Yakhe ngokugcwele.
