KwabaseKoloseIsampula

Abanye abaholi ebandleni laseKolose babengabaza ukuthi umphostoli uPawulu ubatshele lonke iqiniso. Basebeqalile ukufundisa ukuthi ngaphezu kokuthembela kuJesu, ezinye izinqubo zomoya ziyadingeka ukuze uthole ukugcwaliseka kukaNkulunkulu. Ekhathazekile, u-Ephafra, umsunguli webandla laseKolose, uvakashela uPawulu oboshiwe ukuze athole iseluleko. Utshela uPawulu ngakho konke okuhle akubona ebandleni labo, kodwa nezimfundiso zabaholi bakhe ziyasakazeka. Incwadi yabaseKolose iyimpendulo kaPawulu.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba abhekane nezinkinga zaseKolose, uPawulu ugcizelela isithombe esigcwele salokho uNkulunkulu abenzele kona. UPawulu ubonga uNkulunkulu ngokholo lwabaseKolose. Bathembekile, banothando, futhi banethemba ezindabeni ezinhle zokuthi uJesu wafa, wavuka, futhi uzobuya maduze. Futhi kunokuba agcwalise ukuphila kwabo ngezindlela ezintsha zokujabulisa uNkulunkulu, uPawulu uthandazela ukuba abaseKolose bagcwale uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu. Egcwele amandla kaNkulunkulu, uPawulu uyaqiniseka futhi ukuthi bayophila ukuphila okujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngokugcwele.

Kunokuba bazame ukuzizamela kwezinye izindawo, abaseKolose kufanele bakhumbule futhi babonge ngokuthi uJesu uyiNkosi. UJesu uye owabakhulula embusweni wobumnyama futhi wathembisa ukuthi abaseKolose bayizindlalifa ezifanelekile zoMbuso wakhe wokukhanya waphakade. INkosi uJesu nayo iwaxolele amaphutha abo esikhathi esidlule. Kuze kube manje, abaseKolose abenzanga lutho ukuze bakuzwe ngokugcwele lokho iNkosi uJesu abanikeza kona, futhi akudingeki baqale manje.

Esikhundleni sokuzama ezinye izindlela zokugcwaliswa, abaseKolose kufanele futhi bakhumbule ukuthi uJesu ungumdali onegunya. Uyindlalifa efanele nombusi wazo zonke izinto ezidaliwe.

UJesu unegunya phezu kwazo zonke izinto eziphilayo, futhi ukuvuswa kwakhe kubonisa ukuthi igunya lakhe lidlulela ngisho naphezu kokufa. UJesu ungoPhakeme endaweni yonke, futhi ngegazi lakhe nangesiphambano uye wahlanganisa indalo yakhe eyake yahlukaniswa ekupheleleni kwamandla akhe okudala.

Ngokuphambene nalokho okushiwo abanye, ukuphelela kwegunya namandla kaNkulunkulu kunikelwe ngesihle. AbaseKolose sebeyakwazi lokhu ngoba nabo babazi ukuthi ngaphambili babeyizitha zikaNkulunkulu. Bayazi ukuthi uJesu wasebenzisa igunya lakhe ukuze esule ukuvukela kwabo umbuso, futhi bayazi ukuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu ubanikeze amandla aphelele okujabulisa uNkulunkulu. Lena ukuphela kwemfundiso enikeza ukugcwala, futhi kungokuhlala kule mfundiso kuphela lapho abaseKolose beyojabulisa khona uNkulunkulu.

UPawulu uyaqonda ukuthi umsebenzi wakhe njengomphostoli owukuchaza ngokugcwele umyalezo kaJesu; ikakhulukazi, izindaba ezinhle zokuthi ukugcwala kukaNkulunkulu manje kuhlala phakathi kwabo bonke abantu abamethembayo. Umsebenzi kaPawulu ukuchaza ukuthi azikho izinyathelo ezengeziwe, azikho izenzo zokuziphatha, futhi azikho izenzo zenkolo ezosinika okungaphezu kukaNkulunkulu kunalokho esinakho manje ngoJesu.

Kodwa iphuzu likaPawulu kuso sonke isahluko sokuqala kwabaseKolose ukuthi awukwazi ukukhula udlule uJesu waphakade. Awukwazi ukweqa uMoya oNgcwele ohlala ngaphakathi kuwe.
