Umntwana kaNkulunkuluIsampula

Umvini

Uma siphuma ebhalansini, inkinga eyodwa kungaba ukuthi sinqanyuliwe emvinini. Ingabe uyasazi isiqephu semiBhalo esikhuluma ngoKristu njengomvini? NgokukaJohane 15:5 uthi uKristu ungumvini, thina singamagatsha. Kunalokho, uke wahlukana nomvini, ucabanga ukuthi ungavakashela ibandla noma ufunde umBhalo kanye noma kabili ngesonto futhi ulunge? Zicabange udonsa iqabunga esihlahleni sawo, ucabanga, “Lizophila.” Ingase singashintshi isimo lapho liqala ukuhlukaniswa nomthombo walo wokuphila, kodwa alisaphili.

Isiko lingase lithi kuyinto evamile ukufaka izinto zikamoya ezimpilweni zethu izikhathi ezimbalwa isonto ngalinye, kodwa khumbula Insimu yase-Edene? Unkulunkulu wahlala no-Adamu no-Eva, futhi basemphakathini. Kungase kube nezikhathi lapho sizizwa singenathemba, futhi uma sithatha isikhathi sokuhlola, singase siqaphele ukuthi “asihlali kuKristu” noma siMmemele emisebenzini nasezimweni ezinzima.

Sifaka izicelo zokufunda esikoleni, izinhlelo zokusebenza zokujola, futhi sijahe ukuthola igigi elandelayo, kodwa siphumula Kuye uma sihlala kuKristu. Sisetha kabusha. Sikhumbula indima yethu yokuqala njengomntwana kaNkulunkulu. Umbono wethu ushintshile, futhi sithola umoya wethu. Inkinga iwukuthi, sizosuka kulokhu kuhlangana, sibuyela emuva esiphithiphithi esisidonsela ezintweni ezicindezelayo, nezingaxazululi.

Uma lokhu kuzwakala kungalungile, yingoba kunjalo. Uyakhumbula? Unkulunkulu wenza i-Edene, lapho ayehlala khona no-Adamu no-Eva. Babesebenza, bedlala, futhi behlala emphakathini no Nkulunkulu. Ezingeni elijulile, siyakulangazelela lokhu, kodwa singaqhubeka nokuletha uNkulunkulu ezindlini zethu nasezindimeni zethu njengamasoka, izintombi, abazali, nomakhelwane. Singaqhumisa umculo odumisa uNkulunkulu futhi sibe namaphathi okudansa omndeni. Singathandaza nesisebenza nabo abangakwazi ukuzibamba izinyembezi uma bethola izindaba ezimbi. Singabonisa ubuhle bukaNkulunkulu lapho siphumela ngaphandle. Singaguqa ngamadolo phakathi nengxabano. Yebo, kungaba nzima, kube lukhuni, futhi kube kusha, kodwa senza izinto ezinzima.

Okwengeziwe:
Ziphonsele inselelo ekusebenziseni isigaba samanothi ocingweni lwakho ukuze uqale uhlu lwezikhathi oletha ngazo uNkulunkulu ezindimeni eziningi ozenzayo. Isibonelo, uma uthandaza nezingane zakho, lokho kuletha uNkulunkulu endimeni yakho njengomzali. Kungaba ithuba elithobisayo kodwa elijabulisayo lokukhula.
