UBIZO LUKANKULUNKULU KANYE NOKUGUQULWA KWETHU
“UPawulu, obizelwe ukuba umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu..” (Ivesi 1)
Ngaphambi kokuba athole ubizo lukaNkulunkulu, uPawulu wayekwimishini yokushushisa ibandla - abantu bakaNkulunkulu. Umkhandlu wamaJuda eJerusalema, wamnika igunya lokushushisa abalandeli bakaJesu Kristu. Kodwa lapho esendleleni eya eDamaseku, uNkulunkulu wamhlangabeza futhi wambonisa ukuthi uPawulu wayengubani nokuthi uPawulu wayezoba ngubani.
Lokho kuhlangana noNkulunkulu kwaletha uguquko lomuntu siqu empilweni yakhe. Kwamenza walalela izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi wazisa abanye. Wayengaseyena umuntu ofanayo.
UPawulu oguquliwe, encwadini yakhe eya kwabaseKorinte, ubiza abantu abafanayo ake wabashushisa, ngokuthi “bangcwelisiwe kuKristu Jesu, ababizelwe ukuba ngabangcwele” (Indima 2). Naphezu kwakho konke ukuhlukahluka, waqala ukubona iBandla njengomzimba kaKristu ongokaNkulunkulu nokuthi uNkulunkulu ungowamaJuda kanye nabeZizwe ngokufanayo.
Wayelithanda ibandla njengendawo lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu bezwa khona umusa nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu. Kuzo zonke izincwadi, uthandazela umusa nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu ukuba kube sebandleni - abalandeli bakaKristu. Isonto lanamuhla lisakhuleka umthandazo ofanayo.
Kusukela ekubeni umshushisi webandla kuya ekubeni umthandi webandla, ukuphila kukaPawulu kwase kushintshile ngenxa yalokho kuhlangana noNkulunkulu. Ukuhlangana ayengakulindele, ikakhulukazi lapho esendleleni eyoshushisa uNkulunkulu ofanayo. Ezikhathini eziningi, sizithola sihlubuka kuNkulunkulu.
Yilapho impela Ahlangana khona nathi! Kungaleso sikhathi futhi lapho asikhombisa khona ukuthi singobani nokuthi kufanele sibe yini. Uyasenza sifaneleke ngokomusa wakhe futhi asiguqule. Okufanele sikwenze ukulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu, simlalele, sifulathele izindlela zethu zakudala futhi silungele ukuguqulwa. Uma sivumela uNkulunkulu ukuba enze ezimpilweni zethu, uthembekile ekubekeni ubuntu bethu obudala ngemva kwethu futhi asinike isiqalo esisha, esiyoba isibusiso hhayi kithi kuphela kodwa nasezizukulwaneni ezizayo.
