Ithemba

NjengamaKristu, sigubha uKhisimusi njengendlela yokukhumbula ithemba esinalo kuJesu. Kungani-ke kulula kangaka ukuzizwa ungenathemba kulesi sikhathi sonyaka? Mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi asiqondi ngokugcwele ukuthi liyini ithemba nokuthi livelaphi.

uJeremiya 29:11 ungelinye lamavesi eBhayibheli aziwa kakhulu mayelana nethemba. Ithi, “ ‘Ngokuba ngiyawazi amacebo enginawo ngawe,’ usho uJehova, ‘amacebo okukuphumelelisa hhayi okukulimaza, amacebo okukunika ithemba nekusasa.’”

Lawa akuwona nje amagama amahle okuthi siwafakele noma siwafake enkomishini yekhofi. Ayisithembiso esivela kuNkulunkulu sokuthi sibambelele kuso lapho sizizwa singenathemba. Nakuba la mazwi ekuqaleni ayengawakwa-Israyeli ekuthunjweni kwaseBhabhiloni, uNkulunkulu usefana nanamuhla njengoba Wayenjalo ngaleso sikhathi. Ngenxa yokuthi isimo Sakhe sisafana, singathemba ukuthi lesi sithembiso siseyiqiniso kithina namuhla.

Eqinisweni, uma sizibheka, sizothola izethembiso zikaNkulunkulu kithina zitholakala eTestamenteni Elidala. Ngokuphindaphindiwe, ngezindaba zabantu Bakhe, uNkulunkulu usikhombisa ukuthi ungubani futhi ufakazela ukuthi uthembekile.

Esinye sezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zakuqala kithi sikuGenesise lapho uNkulunkulu ethi uyobusisa zonke izizwe zomhlaba ngo-Abrahama. Lokhu uNkulunkulu akushoyo ukuthi uMesiya uyoba inzalo ka-Abrahama futhi uyosindisa bonke abantu ezonweni zabo—hhayi nje abantu bamaJuda, kodwa noma ubani okholwa Kuye. Khona-ke eTestamenteni Elisha, sibona ubufakazi bokuthi uNkulunkulu uqinisile ezwini Lakhe. Incwadi kaMathewu isikhombisa ukuthi uhlu lozalo lukaJesu lusukela ku-Abrahama, futhi incwadi kaJohane isitshela ukuthi okholwa kuJesu uyothola ukuphila okuphakade. uNkulunkulu wethu ungumgcini wesithembiso. Uyithemba lethu eliphilayo.

Ithemba aliveli ezintweni ezibonakalayo noma ezithembisweni eziyize zalomhlaba. Ithemba langempela livela ekwazini ukuthi siyohlala noJesu kuze kube phakade. Uma kuqhathaniswa nephakade laseZulwini, izimo zethu zamanje ziwukucwayiza nje futhi zingabi bikho ngokuphazima kweso. Nakuba lokho akusho ukuthi ngeke sizwe ubuhlungu, kusho ukuthi singakhetha ukubheka ngale kobuhlungu bethu bamanje siye ekusaseni elingcono elizayo.

Noma ngabe yini obhekene nayo kulesi sikhathi samaholidi, bheka izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu ukuze ube nethemba. Akasoze akushiya futhi akasoze akwehlula. Uyohlale ekuthethelela futhi ekuhola njalo. Yena ungamandla akho, idwala lakho, futhi isivikelo sakho. Uma uzwa sengathi awusoze wakwenza okwanele, wanele, noma uphelele, khumbula ukuthi le mizabalazo ingeyesikhashana futhi uNkulunkulu unokuningi ngawe. Ukuthanda ngokujulile futhi ufisa ukuchitha isikhathi nawe. Khumbula ukuthi ukuthembise ikusasa, futhi lingaphezu kwalokho ongakucabanga.
