Ubizelwe Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu Nokuthanda Abanye

Uthando malube ngobuqotho. Yenyanya okubi; bambelela uqinise kokuhle. ( KwabaseRoma 12:9 )

uJesu wafingqa imithetho eminingi yeTestamente Elidala ngomyalo omkhulu wokuthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yethu yonke nowesibili ofana nawo wokuthanda umakhelwane wethu njengoba sizithanda thina (NgokukaMathewu 22:37-40) . "Umakhelwane" kulesi siqephu akugcini kulabo ababelana nawe endaweni. Umakhelwane wakho yinoma ngubani ohlangana naye noma okwazi ukuba nomthelela. Kulula ukuzithanda thina. Siwashalazela kalula amaphutha ethu futhi sigxile kokuhle esikwenzayo. Kunzima kakhulu ukuthanda abanye.

Uma ngempela sibambelela othandweni lukaNkulunkulu kanye nezindaba ezinhle zevangeli, sizobe sihlose ukwabelana ngalolo thando nawo  wonke umuntu esingamsiza. Isiqephu sanamuhla sigcwele imiyalo eminingi enikeza izibonelo zendlela esingabonisa ngayo uthando, ukuthethelela, nomusa kwabanye. Yimuphi kule miyalo uNkulunkulu angase akuphonsele inselelo ukuba uwusebenzise ekusebenzelaneni kwakho nabanye namuhla?

Ngaphambi kokuba siqale ukubeka izaba, masingalokothi sikhohlwe ukuthi uJesu wahamba indlela yonke eya ekufeni, ngisho nasekufeni esiphambanweni, ukuze asithande. Ungakhohlwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubiza umKristu ngamunye ukuba abe umhlatshelo ophilayo (KwabaseRoma 12:1)! Kungase kungabi lula ukuthanda abanye, kodwa yilokho kanye uNkulunkulu akufuna kithi. Qala ngokuthandazela abanye, futhi uNkulunkulu uzothoba intukuthelo yakho, akusize unqobe izaba, futhi akunikeze iminyango evulekile yokubonisa nokwabelana ngothando lukaKristu. 

Njengoba ukhuleka, cela kuNkulunkulu wethu wothando ukuba akusize uthande abanye.
