THE "Ngoku ilizwi" ebelivutha entliziyweni yam kule veki iphelileyo- ukuvavanya, ukutyhila, nokucoca- ngumnxeba wokucacisa kuMzimba kaKristu ukuba ilixa lifikile xa kufuneka uthando ukugqibelela. Ithetha ntoni le nto?
UKUTHANDA UKUGQIBELA
UYesu akazange anyamezele ukugculelwa nokutshicelwa, ukukhethelwa ecaleni nokugculelwa. Akazange amkele kuphela ukubethwa ngameva, ukubethwa kunye nokuhlulwa. Akazange ahlale emnqamlezweni imizuzu nje embalwa… kodwa uThando “wakopha.” UYesu wasithanda imfezeko.
Ithetha ukuthini le nto kuwe nakum? Kuthetha ukuba sibizelwe ukuba "siphume" ngenxa yomnye, sithande ngaphaya kwemida yethu, sinike kude kube buhlungu, emva koko abanye. Yile nto uYesu asibonise yona, yile asifundise yona: uthando lufana nokhozo lwengqolowa ekufuneka luwele emhlabeni elowo kwaye zonke ixesha sibizelwe ukuba sikhonze, sincame, kwaye sinike. Kwaye xa sithanda ukugqibelela, kulapho kuphela… kuphela emva koko… laa ngqolowa yengqolowa ivelisa iziqhamo ezihlala zihleli.
Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi… isiqhamo esiya kuhlala sihleli.
Umahluko phakathi kokukrokra, ngokuzinikela ngentliziyo epheleleyo ngumahluko phakathi kothando lwethu lokuba ngumntu okanye nguThixo. Ngumahluko phakathi kokulamla kunye nobungcwele. Umahluko phakathi kokubonakaliswa kweLanga okanye iLanga ngokwalo. Ngumahluko phakathi kokudlula kumzuzu okanye ukuguqula umzuzu. Olona hlobo lothando olunokuguqula umhlaba esijikelezileyo uthando lukaThixo - luthando oluqhutywa ngamaphiko oMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye olukwaziyo ukugqobhoza kwanentliziyo elukhuni. Kwaye le ayisiyiyo indawo yabakhethiweyo abambalwa, kuba abo bangcwele "abangenakuchukunyiswa" esifunda ngabo. Endaweni yoko, kunokwenzeka mzuzu ngamnye okona kuqhelekileyo kunye nokuqheleka kwezinto.
Kuba idyokhwe yam imnandi, nomthwalo wam ulula. (UMateyu 11:30)
Ewe idyokhwe yokuthanda kukaThixo kukuba sizishiye ngokupheleleyo kwizinto ezincinci, yiyo loo nto idyokhwe ilula kwaye nomthwalo ulula. UThixo akaceli i-99.9% yethu ekufeni njengokubona kwethu kuMbindi Mpuma; Endaweni yoko, kukufela ukholo embindini wosapho lwethus. Kodwa senza nzima ngenxa yenkani yethu, ubuvila okanye ukuzingca- hayi kuba ukwenza ibhedi kunzima!
Ukuthanda ukugqibelela. Ayipheleli nje ekuhlambeni izitya kwaye uyitshayele phantsi, kodwa uchola nalaa mvuthuluka yokugqibela xa udinwe kakhulu kukugoba. Ukutshintsha ilweyile okwesihlanu ngokulandelelana. Ayisiyonto yokuthwala kuphela amalungu osapho lwakho okanye "abahlobo" kwimidiya yoluntu xa benganyamezeleki, kodwa ukumamela ngaphandle kokubanqumla-kwaye nangoko, uphendule ngoxolo nangobulali. Ezi zizinto ezibenze baba Ngabangcwele-hayi ii-ecstasies kunye ne-levitation- kwaye ezi ndlela zincinci azikho ngaphaya kokufikelela kwethu ngelo xesha, nazo. Zisenzeka qho ngomzuzu wosuku- ukusilela nje ukuziqonda ngenxa yoko zikuko. Okanye ukungamampunge kwethu kungena endleleni, kwaye siyazibona ezi zenzo njengeziswele ubukhazikhazi, ezingasizisi ngqalelo, ezingasizisiyo indumiso. Endaweni yoko, baya kusikhupha igazi, elihlala livakala njengezikhonkwane nameva, hayi indumiso kunye nehlombe.
KHANGELA KUYESU
Jonga emnqamlezweni. Jonga indlela Uthando olukhuphe ngayo. Jonga indlela uYesu - owakhe walandelwa ngamawaka - wayethanda ukugqibelela xa izihlwele zazincinci, xa uHosa wathula, xa abo wayebathandayo bemlahlile. Ukuthanda ukugqibelela Ibuhlungu. Isizungu. Ivavanya. Iyacoca. Kusishiya siziva ngamanye amaxesha ngathi, "Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiyeleni na?"[1]UMarko 15: 34 Kodwa ukuphuma kwegazi lomnye kuye okusenza sahlukane, yintoni esingcwalisayo inyaniso, yintoni ebangela ukuba imbewu encinci yedini lethu ivelise isiqhamo esingaphezulu kwendalo esiya kuhlala ngonaphakade.
Yile nto kanye ilungiselela uzuko uvuko Zobabalo ngeendlela ezaziwa nguThixo kuphela.
Kungekudala, kungekudala umzimba kaKristu uza kungena kwelona candelo libuhlungu. Ke eli gama ku Uthando ukugqibelela ayisiyiyo (kuphela ebaluleke kakhulu) kubomi bethu bemihla ngemihla kunye nemiceli mngeni, kodwa ikwasilungiselela ucalucalulo lwezonyango olukhoyo noluzayo, kunye nolwahlulo olukhulu olubonakala ngathi luza kuqhuma eCaweni uqobo. Kodwa ndifuna ukuyishiya ecaleni okwangoku, ndibuyele kulo mzuzu wangoku. Kuba uYesu wathi:
Umntu othembekileyo kwizinto ezincinci kakhulu unokuthenjwa nakwezinkulu; kwaye umntu ongathembekanga kwizinto ezincinci kakhulu akathembekanga nakwezinkulu. (ULuka 16:10)
Singo Ibali leNenekazi lethu elincinci, kwaye usilungiselela ngoku incopho yeminyaka engama 2000 ukusukela oko uNyana wakhe wahamba kulo mhlaba. Kodwa wenza ngendlela efanayo ukuba yena ngokwakhe uzilungiselele ukuthatha inxaxheba kuMnqweno woNyana wakhe: ngokutshayela umgangatho eNazarete, ngokwenza ukutya, ngokutshintsha amanabukeni, ukuhlamba iimpahla… ewe, ukuphuma kwezinto ezincinci ... ukuthanda ukugqibelela.
Oyena mkhulu phakathi kwenu makabe sisicaka senu.
Nabani na oziphakamisayo uya kuthotywa;
kodwa nabani na ozithobayo uya kuphakanyiswa. (Mat 23: 11-12)
Mna ke ndilibanjwa ngenxa yeNkosi,
Ndiyanibongoza ukuba niphile ngendlela efanelekileyo
yomnxeba owufumeneyo,
ngokuthobeka konke nobulali,
ngomonde, ninyamezelana ngothando;
ukuzama ukugcina ubunye bomoya
ngomxokelelwane woxolo… (Eph 4: 1-3)
Ngoko fezani, njengokuba uYihlo osemazulwini efezekile.
(Mat 5:48)
Phawula: ILizwi ngoku liya lijongwa. Uninzi lwenu uxela ukuba awusafumani ii-imeyile ngamaqonga aliqela. Jonga ugaxekile okanye ifolda ye-junk kuqala ukuze ubone ukuba bayaphela na. Zama ukuphinda ubhalise apha. Okanye qhagamshelana nomnikezeli wakho weenkonzo ze-intanethi, onokuba ubathintela.
Mamela oku kulandelayo:
Landela uMarko kunye "nemiqondiso yamaxesha" yemihla ngemihla kum:
