INTONI inkolo yenza amabango anjengala ethu? Luluphi ukholo olukhoyo olusondele kangako, olufikelelekayo, nolufikelela kweyona minqweno yethu, ngaphandle kobuKristu? UThixo uhlala ezulwini; kodwa uThixo waba ngumntu ukuze umntu ahlale eZulwini kwaye uThixo akwazi ukuhlala emntwini. Kuyamangalisa ngobuhle! Kungenxa yoko le nto ndisoloko ndisithi kubantakwethu noodadewethu abenzakeleyo nabaziva ngathi uThixo ubalahlile: angaya phi uThixo? Ukho kuyo yonke indawo. Ngapha koko, Ungaphakathi kuwe.

Ezinye iinkolo zibeka unqulo lwazo kuthixo "ophandle phaya", uthixo "ophezulu phezulu", uthixo "ongaphaya" Kodwa umKristu obhaptiziweyo uthi, Ndinqula uThixo okhoyo ngaphakathi. Le asiyompazamo iphosakeleyo yaBadala abathi bathethe ngo "kristu" ngaphakathi, ngokungathi ngokwabo bangokobuthixo kwaye baqhubela phambili ukuya ekuqondeni okuphezulu. Hayi! AmaKristu athi “Obu butyebi sibuphethe ngezitya zodongwe, ukuze incamisa yamandla ibe yekaThixo, ingaphumi kuthi.” ^[1]cf. 2 Kor 4:7 Obu buncwane sibuphetheyo bubuqaqawuli bukaThixo, noThixo ngokwakhe. Siyabona ukuba ibonakalisiwe kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje:

Ukuphuma kwababingeleli endaweni engcwele, ilifu layigcwalisa itempile kaYehova ... ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova bayizalisa itempile kaYehova. Waza uSolomon wathi: “UNdikhoyo uza kuhlala kwilifu elimnyama; Ngokwenene ndikwakhele indlu ebukhosini, indawo yokuhlala ohlala kuyo ngonaphakade. ”

Itempile ngumfuziselo wemizimba yethu.

Anazi na ukuba imizimba yenu yitempile yoMoya oyiNgcwele ongaphakathi kwenu, eninaye evela kuThixo; (1 Kor. 6:19)

"Ubumnyama" belifu bubonakalisa indalo yethu, isizathu sobumnyama kunye nobuthathaka bentando. ^[2]cf. Mat 26:41 Kwaye ngoku, uThixo uza kuthi ngqo ngale ndlela ngesizathu:

Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, kuba amandla enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka. (2 Kor. 12: 9)

Eli libali lothando leVangeli yanamhlanje: UThixo uza kusiphakamisa kubuthathaka bethu, ukwaphuka kunye nentlungu. Nangona uYesu nabaPostile bebaleka ngenxa yomsi, uYesu uya rhoqo kubantu abeza kuye. Ba…

… Bamcenga ukuba bachukumise kuphela intsholongwane empahleni yakhe; baza bonke abayichukumisayo baphiliswa kanye.

Ngubani na omkhulu njengoThixo wethu? Ngubani onothando nenceba njengoYesu? Le yeyona ntliziyo yeendaba ezimnandi: UThixo usithanda kakhulu kangangokuba uye weza kuthi, njengathi, ukuba abe kuthi. Singachukumisa inquma lakhe… singachukumisa Yena.

Unyana wam oneminyaka esibhozo ubudala weza kum ngenye imini, ubuso bakhe babubuzaza kwaye embuzweni. "Tata, ukuba uYesu ulungile, kwaye yonke into afuna ukuyenza kukusithanda, kutheni abantu bengayifuni loo nto?" Ndamjonga ndathi, “Ewe, ngenxa yokuba uYesu ebathanda kakhulu abantu, ubabiza ukuba baphume kwisono esi sibenzakalisa. Abanye abantu bathanda isono sabo ngaphezu kokuthanda uThixo. ” Uye wandijonga enza lonto bendiyithetha. Kodwa yayingenangqondo kuye. "Kodwa tata, ukuba uYesu ufuna nje ukonwabisa abantu, kutheni bengayifuni loo nto?" Ewe, ndiyabona ukuba umntu oneminyaka esibhozo ubudala wabona into engenakwenziwa zizithandi zobulumko, izazinzulu kunye nobukrelekrele bomhla wethu. Ndikhumbula umzukulwana kaThomas Huxley, owayengugxa kaCharles Darwin, owathi:

Ndicinga ukuba isizathu sokuba sixhume kwimvelaphi yeentlobo kukuba ingcamango kaThixo yaphazamisa ukuziphatha kwethu ngokwesondo. -Umtshizi, NgoFebruwari 2010, Umqulu 19, No. 2, iphe. 40.

Nangona bebanga ukuba bazizilumko, baba zizidenge, baza ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo ongenakufa babananisela intsobi yomfanekiselo womntu ofayo… Kungoko, uThixo wabanikela ekungcoleni, ngokweminqweno yeentliziyo zabo, ngenxa yokuthotywa kwemizimba yabo. KwabaseRoma 1: 22-24)

Olunjani lona utshintsho olukhulu! Amaxeshana amafutshane okonwabela ubukho bovuyo lwanaphakade!

Aniqondi na ukuba uYesu Krestu ukho kuni? (2 Kor. 13: 5)

Ukurhweba kweLizwi likaThixo ngamazwi abantu.

Lowo undithandayo uya kuligcina ilizwi lam; wothi noBawo amthande, size kuye, sihlale naye. (UYohane 14:23)

Ukuphulukana namandla angaphezu kwendalo okwethutyana!

Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; Ukuba uthe umntu waliva izwi lam, wavula umnyango, ndongena endlwini yakhe, ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3:20)

Ezi ziindaba ezimnandi ekufuneka sizikhwaze sisophahleni! UThixo ufuna ukukwenza itempile yakhe ukuze ahlale kuwe, nawe uhlale kuye. Ngale ndlela, ubomi obungunaphakade bungena okwexeshana, kwaye umntu uqala ukufumana amava nokwazi uThixo ngoku-Ukwazi ukuba kuyakuqhuma kubuqaqawuli kanye xa umntu ebiphile obu bomi kubuhlobo obuhlala kunye naye.

Ukuba ngumKristu akusosiphumo sokhetho lokuziphatha okanye umbono ophakamileyo, kodwa kukuhlangana nomsitho, umntu, onika ubomi umbono omtsha kunye nesikhokelo esigqibeleleyo. -BENEDICT XVI, Ileta Encyclical, UDeus Caritas, n. I-1

Mosha akukho xesha ngoko, mfundi! Yenza intliziyo yakho indawo yokuphumla kaThixo, indawo yokudibana noBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele…

Masingene endlwini yakhe, Masinqule esihlalweni seenyawo zakhe. Mamela, Yehova, uye endaweni yakho yokuphumla… (iNdumiso yanamhlanje, 132)
