Okukuqala: I-Lent Devotional Isampula
Incazelo yobulungiswa
Ungabukeka kanjani umphakathi wamaKrestu?
Kungaba yilapho wonke umuntu eya esontweni? Lapho sonke sifunda khona iBhayibheli nsuku zonke? Lapho umculo wokudumisa uhamba phambili?
Uma silandela izwi likaNkulunkulu, umphakathi wamaKristu ubungaba yilowo ongenakho ukungalingani. Kuyilapho abantu benakekelana ngomusa nangozwelo. UbuKristu bungaphezu kwezinombolo zebandla - kuphathelene nobulungiswa. Ukwakha umbuso kaNkulunkulu kuwukuphakamisa labo abaphonswe phansi. Ngaphandle kokwenza lokho, sigeja iphuzu eliphelele. ITestamente Elidala nelisha womabili ayakugcizelela lokhu, isibonelo ku-Isaya:
Fundani ukwenza ukulunga, funani ukulunga, gwebani abacindezelweyo, mangalelani izintandane, melelani umfelokazi. (Isaya 1:17)
Ekuqaleni endimeni yanamuhla, uNkulunkulu uyakulahla ukudumisa kwabantu bakhe. UNkulunkulu uya kuzonda. Kungani? Ngoba kukhona ukungabi nabulungiswa ezweni. Ngoba ukukhala kwabanganakiwe akunakwa. Ngoba abantu bakhe ababanakekeli abaswele.
Ingabe uNkulunkulu angakuthanda ukuthola ukudumisa kwethu namuhla? Kungumbuzo oyinselelo. Kodwa okumele ubuzwe.
Umthandazo:
Nkulunkulu wokulunga, lihawukele ibandla lakho. Sizinikela kabusha entandweni yakho - intando efuna ubulungiswa futhi evikela abacindezelwe. Ameni.
