OKUDINGAYO UTHANDO

Uma ucabanga ngokwesaba, ungase ucabange ukuthi okuphambene nokwesaba ukuzethemba noma ukuthula. Ungase ucabange ukuthi okudingayo wukuzethemba okungcono. Kodwa iBhayibheli lisho okuthile okuhluke kakhulu—lifundisa ukuthi esikudingayo akukhona ukuzithanda kakhulu kodwa kunalokho uthando olwengeziwe ngabanye. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi okuphambene nokwesaba akukhona ukuzethemba noma ukuthula; okuphambene nokwesaba uthando. Ukuphela kwendlela esinganqoba ngayo ukwesaba kwethu ukufunda ukuthanda ngaphezu kwalokho esikwesabayo. Futhi lokho kungenxa yokuthi okuwukuphela kwamandla anamandla ngokwanele okuqeda ukwesaba uthando: uthando ngoNkulunkulu nabanye.

Ake sibhekisise iseluleko sikaJohane mayelana nokunqoba ukwesaba futhi sizame ukubona ukuthi kusebenza kanjani ukubulala lo drako onamandla. Ake sicabange sonke lesi siqephu njengoba sichazwe eBhayibhelini Eliphilayo:

“Siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu usithanda kangakanani ngoba siluzwile uthando lwakhe futhi siyakholelwa kuye lapho esitshela ukuthi usithanda kakhulu. UNkulunkulu uluthando, futhi noma ubani ohlala othandweni uhlala noNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu uhlala kuye. Futhi njengoba siphila noKristu, uthando lwethu lukhula luphelele futhi luphelele; ngakho ngeke singazethembi futhi sibe namahloni ngosuku lokwahlulela, kodwa singabhekana naye ngokuqiniseka nangenjabulo, ngoba uyasithanda futhi nathi siyamthanda. Akufanele simesabe umuntu osithanda ngokuphelele; uthando lwakhe oluphelele ngathi luqeda konke ukwesaba lokho angase akwenze kithi. Uma sesaba, kungenxa yokwesaba lokho angase akwenze kithi, futhi kubonisa ukuthi asiqinisekanga ngokugcwele ukuthi usithanda ngempela. Ngakho uyabona, uthando lwethu ngaye luza ngenxa yokusithanda kwakhe kuqala. “— 1 KaJohane 4:16-19 (The Living Bible)

Uhlobo lothando uJohane abhekisela kulo lapha akulona nje uthando oluvamile kubantu abaningi. Lolu thando olunamandla luvela emthonjeni owodwa kuphela: uNkulunkulu. Nakuba zonke izipho ezinhle zivela kuNkulunkulu ngomusa Wakhe ojwayelekile (kuhlanganise nothando abangakholwa abanalo komunye nomunye), uhlobo lothando uJohane akhuluma ngalo lapha uthando olutholakala kuphela ebuhlotsheni bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu. Kunjengoba sidonseleka Kuye, futhi singena ebudlelwaneni Naye lapho sithola khona uthando olunamandla olunqoba ukwesaba okungolwakhe yedwa. Singabona umehluko phakathi kobuhlobo obusekelwe ekwesabeni kanye nalobo obusekelwe othandweni ngokucabangela umehluko phakathi kokwahlulelwa ngumuntu ongamazi nokwahlulelwa ubaba. Ngale ndlela, sizokwazi kangcono ukuqonda ukuthi uthando lungakhipha kanjani ukwesaba.
