Izinto EzibalulekileIsampula

UKUSHIYA UMHLABA UYINDAWO ENGCONO

Eminyakeni edlule, ngisanda kuphuma eNyuvesi yaseNebraska ngineziqu zebhange nezezimali, ngahamba ngayosebenza njenge-intern esontweni elikhulu e-Omaha. Ngesinye isikhathi, ngesikhathi somhlangano nabefundisi abangaphezu kwamashumi amabili, uMfundisi Omkhulu u-Bob Thune, wathi, “Ngizama ukuphuma kuwo wonke amagumbi engingena kuwo ngingcono kakhulu kunalokho engikutholile.”

Akulona ulwazi olusha mayelana nesibopho somuntu siqu, kodwa kwakukhona okuthile ngobuqotho bakhe okwenza umlayezo unamathele. Waqhubeka ebala izibonelo ezithile zokuphila kwakhe mayelana nokwenza lokhu: ukuhlanza amagumbi endlini yakhe, ukulungisa amagumbi esonto, ngisho nokusula izinto zokubala kuzo zonke izindlu zangasese zomphakathi azisebenzisayo.

Lapho eqeda ukukhuluma, wasiholela ngaphandle endaweni yokupaka izimoto, lapho sacosha khona wonke udoti esasiwuthola. Thina baholi bebandla esingaba ngu-20, sigqoke izingubo zasehhovisi, sihamba ihlombe nehlombe sisuka kwenye indawo yokupaka siye kwenye, sicosha udoti endleleni. Isifundo esitholakele futhi, ngokusobala, asizange sikhohlwakale.

Enye indlela thina sonke esilandela injongo esingahlulela ngayo ukuthi izenzo zethu zibalulekile yini iwukubuza ukuthi ziyazuzisa yini abanye. Ngenxa yokuphila kwakho ngamabomu . . .

• Ingabe ubudlelwano bunempilo?
• Ingabe abampofu bangcono, noma abagulayo banempilo, noma abangafundile banolwazi olungcono?
• Ingabe umhlaba wethu wenyama usesimweni esingcono?
• Ingabe baningi abantu abalizwile iVangeli?
• Ingabe kukhona ukuhlakanipha okwengeziwe okumele sikulandele?
• Ingabe kukhona umusa ongaphezu kwezinhliziyo zabantu ezibuthakathaka?

Ngokusobala, awukwazi ukubhekana nazo zonke izinkinga zomhlaba, kodwa ngokushesha noma kamuva kufanele kube nokuthile okubambekayo noma okuhlonzayo ukukhombisa lokho okwenzayo. Futhi uma kunjalo, khona-ke lapho ufika ekupheleni kwempilo yakho, uzokwazi ukubheka emuva futhi usho ngobuqotho ukuthi kukhona okwenzile ukwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono kunalokho owawuyikho ngenkathi ungena kuwo. Usize ekuletheni intando kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Impilo yakho ibalulekile.

UJesu wathi, “Yenzani umuthi ube muhle nesithelo sawo sibe sihle, noma nenze umuthi ube mubi nesithelo sawo sibe sibi, ngokuba umuthi waziwa ngesithelo sawo” (NgokukaMathewu 12:33). Siyini isithelo sempilo yakho kulo mhlaba kuze kube manje? Isiphi isithelo ofuna ukusithela kusukela manje kuqhubeke, ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu?

Sithemba ukuthi lolu hlelo lukukhuthazile. Funda kabanzi mayelana Nezinto Ezibalulekile ngo-Joshua Becker lapha.
