UKUPHILA NGOKUHLANGABEZANA NEQINISO
uDallas Willard wabhala kokuthi Ukuzwa uNkulunkulu, “Ngempela siphila ngokuvumelana nemibono yethu.” Imibono esiyikholelwayo emiqondweni yethu bese siyingenisa emizimbeni yethu inika umumo endleleni yemiphefumulo yethu. Uma sibeka enye indlela, ilolonga indlela esiphila ngayo nokuthi siba ngobani.
Lapho sikholelwa iqiniso—okungukuthi, imibono ehambisana neqiniso—sibonisa iqiniso ngendlela yokuthi sichume futhi siphumelele. Sibonisa imizimba yethu, ebuhlotsheni bethu bobulili, ebudlelwaneni bethu nabanye abantu, futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, kuNkulunkulu ngokwakhe ngendlela ehambisana nokuhlakanipha koMdali nezinjongo ezinhle ngendalo yakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, sithambekele ekujabuleni.
Kodwa uma sikholwa amanga—imibono engahambelani neqiniso nomklamo kaNkulunkulu ohlakaniphile nonothando—bese, ngokudabukisayo, sivula imizimba yethu kulawo manga siwafake ezinkumbulweni zethu zemisipha, sivumela umdlavuza wengqondo ukuba uthelelele imiphefumulo yethu. Siphila ngokungqubuzana namaqiniso, futhi ngenxa yalokho, silwela ukuchuma.
Siyazabalaza ukuze siphumelele ngoba iqiniso alihlali kahle emicabangweni yethu.
Sicabanga ukukholwa njengento yabantu abakholwayo, kodwa sonke siphila ngokukholwa. Ukuba nokholo kokuthile kuwukuphila njengokungathi kuyiqiniso. Kusho ukubeka ithemba lakho kokuthile noma kothile futhi uhlale uthembekile kukho.
Umbuzo awukhona ukuthi: Ingabe unokholo? Kodwa ubani noma yini okholelwa kuyo? UJesu kanye nababhali bemibhalo bafuna ukuthi ube nokholo kuJesu nasezimfundisweni zakhe—ukholo olusekelwe olwazini lweqiniso.
UJesu kanye nababhali bemibhalo baphinde babona ukuthi ukusho ukuthi unolwazi lweqiniso akusho ukuzikhukhumeza noma ukuholela endleleni eya yokuphakama, ngokuphambene nombono ovamile.
Akekho oyoke athi: “Ngingubani mina ukuthi ngingatshela omunye umuntu ukuthi umhlaba uyindilinga? Noma lokho okuhlanu kuhlanganiswe nesihlanu kwenza ishumi? Noma ukuthi ukubhema kuyingozi empilweni yakho?” Asinankinga nokutshela abantu esibathandayo ngamaqiniso ngoba sithemba ukuthi kuzoba nengxenye enjabulweni yabo.
Ukufunda ngaphansi kukaRabi uJesu kungaphezu nje kokubhalisa njengomfundi esifundweni sansuku zonke ekilasini lakhe lempilo; futhi ukubhalisa njengesosha futhi ujoyine impi yakhe yokukholelwa iqiniso phezu kwamanga.
Ingabe ukholelwa ukuthi zonke izinkolo ziyalingana? Kungani noma kungani kungenjalo? Izinkolelo zakho zishintshe kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Ingabe uzithola ukhathele ukubuka okuphakelayo kwakho kwezindaba muva nje ngoba uzizwa uhlukene phakathi kwemibono yesikhathi sethu? UJohn Mark Comer usikhuthaza ukuba silandele uJesu enkathini yokuthanda izwe okunenzondo ngokwandayo kuyilapho sigcina izinhliziyo zethu zithambile futhi zivulekile. Ukuthola ukuvuselelwa ngokomoya osukwini lwethu kuqala ngokuqaphela ukungqubuzana kwangaphakathi phakathi kwamanga esiwaphilayo neqiniso eliletha ukuthula esikulangazelelayo.
