Umculi ongaziwayo
Kuba usindiswe ngobabalo
ngokholo… (Eph 2: 8)
YIBA Wakha wazibuza ukuba kutheni na ngenxa yokholo sisindiswa? Kutheni le nto uYesu engaveli nje kwihlabathi evakalisa ukuba usidibanisile noBawo, usibizele ukuba siguquke? Kutheni le nto uhlala esiba kude, engenakuchukunyiswa, engaphatheki, kangangokuba ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka silwe namathandabuzo? Kutheni engaphinde ahambe phakathi kwethu, avelise imimangaliso emininzi kwaye asivumele sijonge emehlweni akhe othando?
Impendulo kungenxa yokuba Siza kumbethelela kwakhona.
KHAWULEKA NGOKUKHULU
Ngaba akuyonyaniso? Bangaphi kuthi abaye bafunda ngemimangaliso okanye bazibonela ngokwabo: ukuphilisa ngokwasemzimbeni, ungenelelo olungachazekiyo, iziganeko eziyimfihlakalo, ukutyelelwa ziingelosi okanye imiphefumlo engcwele, imimangaliso, amava obomi emva kokufa, imimangaliso ye-Ekaristi, okanye imizimba yabangcwele engenakonakala? UThixo uvuse nabafileyo kwisizukulwana sethu! Ezi zinto ziqinisekiswa ngokulula kwaye ziyajongwa kweli xesha lolwazi. Kodwa emva kokunikela ubungqina okanye ukuva ngale mimangaliso, siyekile ukona? (Kungenxa yoko le nto uYesu weza, ukuzokuphelisa amandla esono phezu kwethu, ukusikhulula ukuze siphinde sibe ngabantu ngokupheleleyo ngokuhlangana noBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele.) Hayi, asikenzi njalo. Ngandlela thile, ngaphandle kobu bungqina bubambekayo bukaThixo, sibuyele kwiindlela zethu zakudala okanye sinikezele kwizilingo ezintsha. Sifumana ubungqina esibufunayo, emva koko silibale ngokukhawuleza.
INGXAKI EBANZIMA
Inento yokwenza nendalo yethu ewileyo, kunye nendalo yesono uqobo. Isono kunye neziphumo zaso zinzima, zintsonkothile, zifikelela nakwimimandla yokungafi ngendlela umhlaza ofikelela ngayo ngesigidi sokukhula esifana nesokukhula kumninimzi. Ayisiyonto incinci ukuba umntu, owenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo, emva koko wona. Isono, ngendalo yaso, sivelisa ukufa emphefumlweni:
Umvuzo wesono kukufa. (KwabaseRoma 6:23)
Ukuba sicinga ukuba "unyango" lwesono lincinci, sidinga kuphela ukujonga emnqamlezweni kwaye sibone ixabiso elalihlawulwe ukuze sixolelaniswe noThixo. Kwangokunjalo, nefuthe lesono kubuntu bethu lithe lashukumisa indalo yonke. Yonakalisile kwaye iyaqhubeka nokonakalisa umntu ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba nokuba angakhangela ebusweni bukaThixo, umntu usenakho ukuyenza lukhuni intliziyo yakhe aze amgatye uMdali wakhe. Iyamangalisa! Abangcwele, abanjengoFaustina Kowalski, bangqina imiphefumlo abathi, nangona bemi phambi koThixo emva kokufa kwabo, bayamnyelisa kwaye bamqalekise.
Oku kungathembeki kokulunga kwam kundenzakalisa kakhulu. Ukuba ukufa kwam akuqinisekisanga ngothando lwam, yintoni ezakwenzeka? … Kukho imiphefumlo edelela ukubabalwa kwam kunye nabo bonke ubungqina bothando lwaM. Abafuni ukuliva ubizo lwaM, kodwa baya kungena enzonzobileni yesihogo. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 580
ISISOMBULULO ESILULA
U-Yesu walithabathela kuye eli thuba libuhlungu, ngokuthatha ubuntu bethu "nokufunxa" ukufa uqobo. Wabuya wayikhulula indalo yethu ngokuvuka kwabafileyo. Ukutshintsha eli Dini, unikezela ngesisombululo esilula kubunzima besono kunye nendalo ewileyo:
Nabani na ongabamkeliyo ubukumkani bukaThixo njengomntwana akasayi kubungena. (UMarko 10:15)
Kukho okungakumbi kule ntetho kunokuba ihlangana nelihlo. Ngokwenyani uYesu usixelela ukuba uBukumkani bukaThixo buyimfihlakalo, buqhutywa ngesisa, obungafunyanwa kuphela ngulowo ubamkelayo ngomntwana. themba. Yiyo i, ukholo. Esona sizathu siphambili sokuba uYise athumele uNyana wakhe ukuba athathe indawo yethu emnqamlezweni yayikuku buyisela ubudlelwane bethu naye. Kwaye ukumbona nje akwanelanga ukubuyisela ubuhlobo! U-Yesu, onguLuthando uqobo, wahamba phakathi kwethu iminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesithathu, emithathu yayo iminyaka yasesidlangalaleni egcwele imiqondiso emangalisayo, ukanti yena walahlwa. Omnye umntu angathi, “Kutheni le nto uThixo engatyhili uzuko lwaKhe nje? ngelo xesha sikholelwe! ” Kodwa akazange uLusifa kunye nabalandeli bakhe abaziingelosi bajonge kuThixo kubuqaqawuli baKhe? Kanti ke bona bamlahla ngenxa yekratshi! AbaFarisi bayibona emininzi imimangaliso yakhe bayiva efundisa, kodwa nabo bamchasa, bambulala.
UKHOLO
Isono sika-Adam ka-Eva sasisisono esivela kuso themba. Abazange bamkholelwe uThixo xa wayebalela ukuba batye isiqhamo somthi wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi. Elo nxeba lihlala kwindalo yomntu, kwi inyama, kwaye siyakwenza njalo de sifumane imizimba emitsha eluvukweni. Iyazibonakalisa njenge inkanuko lowo ngumnqweno wokufuna iinkanuko ezisezantsi zenyama kunobomi obuphezulu bukaThixo. Yinzame yokwanelisa umnqweno wethu wangaphakathi ngesiqhamo esalelweyo kunokuba nothando kunye noyilo lukaThixo.
Unyango lweli nxeba lusenamandla okusitsalela kude kuThixo ukholo. Ayikokukholelwa nje kuye (kuba nomtyholi uyakholelwa kuThixo, kodwa ulahlekelwe bubomi obungunaphakade) kodwa uyamvuma uThixo, kulungelelwano lwaKhe, nakwindlela yakhe yothando. Kukuthembela okokuqala ukuba uyandithanda. Okwesibini, kukukholelwa ukuba ngonyaka ka-33 AD, uYesu Krestu wafela izono zam, wabuya wavuka kwelabafileyo—Ubungqina olo thando. Okwesithathu, kukunxiba ukholo lwethu ngemisebenzi yothando, izenzo ezibonakalisa ukuba singoobani ngokwenene: abantwana abadalwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo oluthando. Ngale ndlela-le indlela yokholo-Sibuyiselwe kubuhlobo kunye noBathathu Emnye (kuba asisasebenzi ngokuchasene noyilo lwaKhe, "uthando lothando"), kwaye, enyanisweni, saphakanyiswa noKrestu emazulwini ukuze sithathe inxaxheba kubomi baKhe obuNgcwele ngonaphakade. .
Kuba singumsebenzi wezandla zakhe, sidalelwe kuKristu Yesu ngenxa yemisebenzi elungileyo ayilungisileyo uThixo kwangaphambili, ukuba sihlale kuyo. (Efese 2: 8. 10)
Ukuba uYesu ebenokuhamba phakathi kwethu kwesi sizukulwana, singambethelela emnqamlezweni kwakhona. Kungokholo kuphela oluthi sisindiswe, sihlanjululwe ezonweni zethu, senziwe ntsha… sisindiswe bubudlelwane bothando kunye nentembeko.
Kwaye ke… siyakuMbona ubuso ngobuso.
Ngaba uyawuxhasa umsebenzi wam kulo nyaka?
Ndikusikelele kwaye ndiyabulela.
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
