Ukuhlanzeka

Emibuthanweni yobuKristu, ukuhlanzeka igama elikhulu elisho amadoda nabesifazane abangashadile. Sikhuthazwa ukuthi “sihlale simsulwa kuze kube umshado,” okusho ukulinda ukuya ocansini uze ushade. Nokho, ubumsulwa budlulela ngalé kobulili. Akupheli lapho umshado uqala, futhi awunalo ithuba elilodwa. Nakuba kubaluleke ngendlela emangalisayo kuNkulunkulu, abaningi bethu abayiqondi kahle indaba yobumsulwa.

Ngenxa yokuhlukunyezwa kwami ​​kwasebuntwaneni, ngezwa sengathi ubumsulwa bami bebiwe kimi. Ngazizwa nginamahloni futhi ngazibuza ukuthi ubani ongangifuna. Kodwa engangikuqonda ekuqaleni mayelana nobumsulwa kwakungalungile. Asibizelwa impilo yobuntombi. Sibizelwe ukuphila okumsulwa. Lapho ubuntombi bugxile ezenzweni zethu futhi kuvame ukuphikiswana ngakho, ubumsulwa bugxila ezinhliziyweni zethu futhi akukho mpikiswano. Ubumsulwa yisimo senhliziyo.

Inhliziyo kukhulunywa ngayo kulo lonke iBhayibheli lapho kukhulunywa ngezisusa nezenzo zethu. KumaHubo, uDavide unxusa uNkulunkulu ukuba adale kuye inhliziyo ehlanzekile ngemva kokuphinga noBati Sheba futhi abulale umyeni wakhe. Encwadini kaLuka, uJesu ucaphuna izinhliziyo zethu njengomthombo wokuhle nokubi. Uyasitshela futhi kuMathewu ukuthi ukukhanukela othile kuwukuphinga ezinhliziyweni zethu. Lapho umphakathi ugxile ezenzweni kuphela, uKristu ugxila ezinhliziyweni zethu. 

Mhlawumbe uzwa sengathi umoshile. Mhlawumbe ukhiphe ubuntombi bakho ungashadile. Mhlawumbe ukholelwa amanga okuthi usuhambe kakhulu noma ukuthi akekho oyokufuna ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka oye wabhekana nakho. Noma ngabe yisiphi isimo sakho, ubumsulwa busatholakala kuwena. Kukhona ukuhlengwa nokubuyiselwa egameni likaJesu. 

uKristu weza ukuze akukhulule kulo lonke ihlazo, necala, nokulahlwa. Ngamandla Akhe kanye nomoya Wakhe ukukuqondisa, ungakhetha ukuphila impilo emsulwa naphezu kwenkathi yakho edlule. Ungakhetha ukudumisa uNkulunkulu nomngani wakho womshado wesikhathi esizayo ngokuphila okuhlanzekile namuhla nangale kwanoma yiluphi usuku lomshado. Ungadweba umugqa namuhla bese uthi kusukela kulolu suku kuye phambili:
