UBABA WAMANGA

Njengoba ayenenhliziyo emnene, uJesu wake watshela abaFarisi ngokuthi “uyise” wayengubani: “Nina ningabakayihlo udeveli, nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo. Yena wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni, engabambeleli eqinisweni, ngokuba iqiniso lingekho kuye. Nxa eqamba amanga, ukhuluma ulimi lwakhe lokuzalwa, ngokuba ungumqambimanga noyise wamanga.” (NgokukaJohane 8:44).

Phawula izinto ezintathu emfundisweni kaJesu ngalesi sidalwa esiyimpicabadala asibiza ngodeveli. 

Ake siqale ngokusobala: kuJesu, kukhona udeveli. 

Ukuphela kwendlela yokwenza umqondo wobubi kubo bonke ububi babo—kusukela ezinhlelweni ezimbi zomhlaba wonke, njengokucwasa ngokwesimiso sobuhlanga noma ubukoloni bezomnotho, kuya ebubini obuncane kakhulu, obusezingeni lomuntu, njengokungakwazi kwethu ukuzinqanda- ukuphuza okulimazayo noma ukuhleba abangani bethu—ukubona amandla abangela lokho.

Okwesibili, kuJesu, umgomo kadeveli ukusabalalisa ukufa. 

I-ajenda kadeveli emelene nempilo, ukufa, umsindo ingumlilo onganeliseki.

UJesu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ungumqambi wempilo uqobo futhi ungummeli wakho konke okwamukelekayo, okuhle, kanye neqiniso-ikakhulukazi, othandweni. UNkulunkulu uluthando, futhi udeveli uvukela konke okunguNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, inhloso yakhe ukubhidliza uthando-ubudlelwane obubodwa, umphakathi owodwa, isizwe esisodwa, isizukulwane esisodwa ngesikhathi. 

Kungakho ukulandela uJesu kuvame ukuzwakala njengempi. Ikona. Akulula ukuqhubekela phambili nsuku zonke embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngoba kunokuphikisana nosathane uqobo lwakhe. Sizwa lokhu kuphikiswa nsuku zonke—kuleyo ngxabano yangaphakathi eqhubekayo njengoba siphakathi kwezifiso eziphikisanayo zothando nenkanuko, ukwethembeka nokulondoloza ubuso, ukuzithiba, nokuzitika. Sizwa lokhu kuphikiswa emzabalazweni wokholo enkathini yezwe lapho izicukuthwane eziningi kangaka zamasiko zibonakala zishiye ukholo ngemuva. Sizwa lokhu kuphikiswa ekuwohlokeni komphakathi olahlekelwa isikhungo futhi uphuma ekulawuleni

Ekugcineni, kuJesu, izindlela zikaSathane zingamanga. 

Okuxakayo ukuthi, ezimfundisweni zikaJesu ezijule kakhulu ngodeveli kuwo womane amaVangeli, akakhulumi ngokukhipha imimoya, ukugula, noma amaphupho amabi asabekayo. Kunalokho, uzibandakanya engxoxweni yobuhlakani nabaholi bemicabango bosuku lwakhe mayelana neqiniso namanga.

UJesu ubona impi yethu yokuqala nodeveli njengokulwela ukukholelwa iqiniso phezu kwamanga. Siyilwa kanjani leyo mpi? Yilokho esizokubuka ngokulandelayo.

Kungani kubaluleke kangaka kudeveli ukuthi ukholelwe amanga ngoNkulunkulu?
