I-Infinitum Advent Bheka Ubuhle, Iviki 1Isampula

“Ubuhle buzosindisa umhlaba.”—UFyodor Dostoyevsky

Kuthiwani uma ubuhle bungasindisa umhlaba ngempela?

Kwabaningi bethu, le sizini edlule isishiye sizizwa sinokungabaza. Abaningi bethu babhidliza futhi baphuma esikhathini sokulahlekelwa okukhulu. Isikhathi sezepolitiki, ubhubhane, kanye nokuvezwa okwandayo kokungabi nabulungiswa nokuhlukunyezwa ezindaweni zezenkolo kusishiye sidangele.

Abaningi bethu bayabuza ... ingabe kukhona okungaba kuhle?

Umhlaba wethu ugcwele ukuhlukumezeka. NgokukaDkt. Curt Thompson, MD, sivame ukufuna ukuphendula ukuhlukumezeka ngezindlela zobuchopho zokubhekana nakho: ukucabanga, ukuzindla, nokulawula.

Lokho kuyiqiniso kakhulu. Sizama ukunqoba ukuphelelwa ithemba, ububi, nokungalungi ngokulawula kwethu - ukulungisa, ukuphatha, nokuxazulula izinkinga, futhi akusebenzi kahle kangako.

Ngokuvamile, uma sizama kakhudlwana ukubamba ukulawula, kulapho lezi zinkinga zisilawula khona.

Kodwa kuthiwani uma inkinga enciphisa umphefumulo emhlabeni wethu bekungeyona inkinga yobuchopho kwesokunxele ebidinga izixazululo ezinobuchopho kwesokunxele njengokushintsha kwesistimu noma imfundiso yenkolo eqinile?

Kuthiwani uma sisabela ezinkingeni zobubi obusemhlabeni ngokububhidliza ngobuhle obungalindelekile?

Uyafuna ukwazi ukuthi ubuhle bungasindisa umhlaba? Ake sibheke ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhetha kanjani ukuzisindisa Yena. Phakathi nosizi olwamboza umhlaba ebumnyameni, “uLizwi waba yinyama, wakha phakathi kwethu.”

“UJesu akazange athathe indlela engokoqobo enkingeni yobubi; UJesu wathatha indlela yobuhle enkingeni yobubi.”—UBrian Zahnd kkokuthi Ubuhle Buzosindisa Umhlaba.

UNkulunkulu wakhukhula ubumnyama emhlabeni ngokukhanya ngobuntu bukaJesu. Waguqula umhlaba ngobuhle obungalindelekile.

Ngoba ubuhle buwuthando olwenziwe lwabonakala.

Wake waba nomzuzwana wokukhathazeka okumangalisayo noma ukudabuka okwaguqulwa ngokuzumayo ukuba khona kobuhle phakathi kwakho? Mhlawumbe uzwile ingoma ekhuluma amazwi owadinga ngaleso sikhathi. Noma othile wakwenza wahleka ngesikhathi ucindezelekile ngempela.

Lezi yizikhathi zothando olungcwele oluvezwa kuwe—futhi ziyaguqulana, akunjalo?

Cabanga ngendawo empilweni yakho njengamanje noma emhlabeni wethu ezizwakala zingaphezu kwamandla futhi ezibangela ukukhathazeka. Buza uNkulunkulu, “Isiphi isenzo sobuhle engingasidala esingabonisa uthando Lwakho kulesi simo?”
