Ukuhlanzeka Okujulile: Ukuqeda Ihlazo, Imithelela Enobuthi, kanye NokungathetheleliIsampula

Ukuhlanza Okujulile Imithelela Enobuthi 

Uke wakubona ukukhuphuka kokukhathazeka kwakho ngemuva kokuchitha isikhathi esiningi ufunda izindaba? Ingabe igazi lakho ngezinye izikhathi liyabila ngemva kokuskrola ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ubona ulwazi olunganembile nezimpikiswano ezigcwalisa amazwana? Ingabe uke wazibona usuqala ukungabaza, ugxeka, noma uluhlaza ezingxoxweni zakho nabanye ngemva kokulalela umculo othile, ukubukela izinhlelo ezithile, noma ukulandela ama-akhawunti athile? 

Nakuba kungekho lutho olungalungile ngokwaziswa, ukubuka okuqukethwe okujabulisayo, kanye nokuchitha isikhathi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, kuwukuhlakanipha ukuhlola ukuthi wonke lawo mathonya asithinta kanjani. Uma sizithola sizizwa sikhathazekile, sikhungathekile, futhi sigxeka esikhundleni sokujabula, ukuthula, nobumnene, singase sibe nenkinga. 

Lokhu akusona isenzakalo esisha. uJesu wakhuluma ngalokhu ngesikhathi esemhlabeni, exwayisa abafundi Bakhe ukuthi baqikelele ukuthi abawavumeli amathonya anobuthi ukuba agxile ezinhliziyweni zabo.  

KuMathewu 16, uJesu nabafundi Bakhe bahamba ngaphesheya kwechibi. Kuleli qophelo, uJesu usesuthise kakade abantu abangu-5 000 nabangu-4 000, futhi abafundi bayatatazela ngoba bekhohlwe izinkwa. UJesu usho into eyinqaba ekuphenduleni: 

“Kepha qaphelani imvubelo yabaFarisi nabaSadusi.” NgokukaMathewu 16:11 NIV

uJesu wayazi ukuthi ithonya elincane lihamba ibanga elide. Ngaphambili, abaFarisi nabaSadusi babezama ukucekela phansi ukholo lukaJesu ngokuzama ukumbamba ukuze akhulume into eyayingahlambalaza inkonzo Yakhe. uJesu uxwayisa abafundi Bakhe ukuthi bangavumeli lolo hlobo lokungabaza nokungabaza lungcolise izingqondo zabo. 

Njengoba abafundi kwadingeka balinganisele ithonya labaFarisi, nathi kufanele silinganisele ukuthi yimaphi amathonya esiwavumelayo. Okungase kubonakale kungenangqondo noma kungasho lutho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kungase kuqale ukonakalisa isimilo sethu futhi kube nobuthi emiphefumulweni yethu.  

uJesu wayekuthatha ngokungathi kuyiqiniso ukuzivikela esonweni. ENtshumayelweni Yakhe edumile yaseNtabeni, uthi uma isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, sinqume. Nakuba kungadingeki ukuba sinqume ngokoqobo izitho zomzimba, sidinga ukusika noma yini ekuphileni kwethu esiholela esonweni noma esikhubekisayo. 

Lokho akusho ukuthi kufanele sinqamule wonke amathonya, silalele ngokukhethekile umculo wobuKristu, noma silandele amanye amaKristu ku-inthanethi kuphela. Kodwa-ke, kusho ukuthi sidinga ukuchitha isikhathi sithandazela ukuthi yimiphi imithelela engaba ngcono kakhulu kithi futhi sicele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba usisize sihlanze ngokujulile noma yini esiyidlayo eyonakalisa kancane kancane isimilo sethu. 

Futhi akukhona nje ukususa lokho okunobuthi. Kumayelana nokufaka amathonya amahle esikhundleni samathonya amabi—izinto eziyiqiniso, ezilungile, ezihloniphekile nezitusekayo. Futhi uma wenza ushintsho, ungase uthole okunye ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu ohlelweni. 

Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, ngifuna ukukujabulisa kuzo zonke izici zokuphila kwami, kuhlanganise namazwi engiwalalelayo. Nginike ukuhlakanipha nganoma yimaphi amathonya amabi okufanele ngiwakhiphe, futhi ungibonise ukuthi ngingakuhlonipha kanjani Wena ngesikhathi sami. Ngisize ngilungise imicabango yami ezintweni ezinhle, ezilungile, eziyiqiniso, ezihloniphekile, nezincomekayo. Ngegama likaJesu, ameni.
