INDIMA YETHU EBANDLENI

“... khulumani ngokufanayo, kungabibikho ukwahlukana phakathi kwenu...” (Ivesi 10)

Ngegunya alinikwe uNkulunkulu, uPawulu wathatha inselele yokuvala ukuhlukahlukana kwebandla. Akazange athathe uhlangothi kodwa wagxila ekukhonzeni iNkosi yedwa. Ngisho nasebandleni lanamuhla sinokuhlukana okuningi ngemibono nemicabango. Umehluko udinga ukulalelwa futhi ulungiswe noma uchazwe ngendlela efanele. Ukungezwani okunjalo kungaxazululwa kuphela uma sonke sinomgomo ofanayo wokulandela uKristu.

Abantu abahlukene ngemicabango kanye nemibono bavame ukugcina ngokuphambuka kulowo mgomo ofanayo futhi babe yizisulu zokushumayela okungamanga nokudala amaqembu ahlukene. Badinga ukubuyiselwa lapho beqala khona ukholo lwabo, futhi bakhuthazwe ukuba babe nesiqalo esisha sha ngoKristu yedwa njengetshe legumbi. UKristu kuphela okufanele abaluleke, nakulesi sikhathi sokusungulwa kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nobuhle.

Vumelani izipiliyoni zethu ekuvumeni ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyisambulo sokugcina, kukhuthaze abantu ukuthi bahlale begxile kuKristu kuphela. Ngakho-ke, masishumayele ngegunya izindaba ezinhle, sikhazimulise uKristu yedwa, singavumeli amasiko nemikhuba kuphazamise iqiniso likaNkulunkulu.

uNkulunkulu makabonakalise amandla akhe uma sesifezile ingxenye yethu.

“...uPawulu akabethelwanga ngenxa yenu...” ( 1 KwabaseKorinte 1:13)

Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ngenkathi siseyizoni, kuphela uKristu owasifela esiphambanweni, hhayi onkulunkulu noma abashumayeli bomthetho. Kuzo zonke izinto, makudunyiswe uKristu kuphela, kungabi omunye. Abantu bavame ukubheka izimangaliso, izimpikiswano ezihehayo nokuhluzeka kwengqondo, bekholelwa ezintweni ezibonwayo. Kodwa kubalulekile ukuthi sikukhombe esiphambanweni, lapho uKristu abethelwa khona. Leso isimangaliso esibonisa amandla nothando lukaNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke, njengababiziweyo nguNkulunkulu, masizithobe, sivume ukuthi asibizwanga ngoba sihlakaniphile, noma sinamandla. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wasikhetha naphezu kobuwula bethu ukuba ajabhise abahlakaniphileyo futhi naphezu kobuthakathaka ahlazise abanamandla.

Vumela iqiniso lokuthi wakhetha “izinto ezidelelekile izwe” ( 1 KwabaseKorinte 1:28) kubuse izinhliziyo zethu, futhi kusisize sifanelekele ubizo lwaKhe oluphakeme futhi sivumele uNkulunkulu alawule ukuphila kwethu futhi akusebenzisele udumo lwakhe.
