Usuku 7: Ukugcina ukholo
INGABE “UYALUGCINA UKHOLO NA”?
Sinjani isimo sokholo lwakho? Uma ungumKristu, unokholo kuNkulunkulu, ikakhulukazi ukholo Kuye oluholela ensindisweni. Kodwa lowo akuwona umbuzo obuzwayo. Kunalokho, yini othembele kuyo kakhulu ekuphileni kwakho kwansuku zonke. Ingabe ngokuyinhloko ugxila futhi uncike emizweni yakho? Ukwesaba kwakho? Imicabango yakho ngalokho okungenzeka? Ukubheka kuphi ukuzethemba njengoba ubhekene nezinselelo nezilingo zempilo?
Kuyini ukukholwa? Igama elivame ukuhunyushwa ngokuthi “ukholo” eBhayibhelini lisho okungaphezu kokukholelwa nje. Kusho ukukholwa, kodwa futhi kusho ukuncika nokwethemba. Ukholo, ngoba luhlanganisa ukuthembela nokwethemba, luhlanganisa nesenzo. Lesi senzo singathatha izindlela eziningi, njengoba sibona ohlwini lwezibonelo kumaHeberu 11.
Uma unesikhathi, cabanga ukufunda yonke incwadi yamaHeberu isahluko 11 ukuze uthole isifinyezo esihle sezenzo zikaNkulunkulu azenzela labo (“abantu basendulo”) ababeka ukholo lwabo Kuye. Uma kungenjalo, khululeka ngokuzindla ngamavesi alandelayo angezansi.
Isiqephu siyaqala:
1 Kepha ukukholwa kungukuqiniseka kwezinto ezithenjwayo, kuyiqiniso ngezinto ezingabonwayo. 2 Ngoba ngalo abantu basendulo bazuza ukuvunyelwa. — KumaHebheru 11:1-2
Ngemva kokuchaza izibonelo zokholo luka-Abela, uNowa, u-Abrahama, uSara, uJakobe, uJosefa, uMose, ama-Israyeli, noRahabi, lesi siqephu siyaqhubeka:
Ngizothini futhi? Ngokuba isikhathi siyakungiyakushiya, uma ngikhuluma ngoGideyoni, noBaraki, noSamsoni, noJefta, noDavide, noSamuweli, nabaprofethi, 33 abathi ngokholo banqoba imibuso, benza izenzo zokulunga, bazuza izithembiso, bavala imilomo yezingonyama, 34 bacima amandla omlilo, baphunyuka enkembeni, baqiniswa ebuthakathakeni, baba namandla empini, baxosha amabutho abezizwe. — KumaHebheru 11:32-34
Inkolelo engenzeki empilweni eshintshile ayilona ukholo lweqiniso lwebhayibheli. Akukhona ukuthi ukholo alukwazi ukuba buthakathaka ngezinye izikhathi noma ukuthi aluzabalazi. Kodwa kunalokho, lokho kukholwa kuyaphila...kuyanyakaza...kungabonwa.
Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ukholo oluwukholo lweqiniso luthemba futhi luncike kuNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yalokho uKristu akwenzile, ungabuka ukwesaba kwakho kungasuka, wazi ukuthi kunqotshiwe nguye yedwa onamandla okukuqeda.
