UYESU Kumelwe ukuba wothuka xa, emi etempileni, esenza “umsebenzi kaTata” wakhe, umama wakhe wamxelela ukuba lixesha lokuba agoduke. Ngokumangalisayo, kule minyaka ili-18 izayo, konke esikwaziyo kwiincwadi zeVangeli kukuba kumele ukuba uYesu wangena ekuzikhupheleni kuye, esazi ukuba weza kulisindisa ihlabathi… kodwa okwangoku. Endaweni yokuba, ekhaya, angene kwizinto eziqhelekileyo zomsebenzi. Apho, kwimida yoluntu oluncinci lwaseNazarete, izixhobo zokuchwela zaba ziisakramente ezincinci uNyana kaThixo awafunda ngazo “kubugcisa bokuthobela.”

Isiqhamo selo xesha lobomi obufihliweyo bukaKristu sasisikhulu. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo yayiliNenekazi Lethu eladlulisela kuSt. Luka isiqhamo sokuthembeka koNyana wakhe:

Wakhula ke umntwana, waya esomelela, ezele bubulumko; nobabalo lukaThixo lwaba phezu kwakhe. ( Luka 2:40 )

Yaye alithandabuzeki elokuba amava kaYesu eentsikelelo nenkoliseko kaYise kuye akhokelela kumazwi ahlala ehleli kwiVangeli yangoMgqibelo:

Wenze kakuhle, mkhonzi wam olungileyo nothembekileyo. Ekubeni ubuthembekile kwizinto ezincinane, ndiya kukunika uxanduva olukhulu. Yiza, ube novuyo lwenkosi yakho;

Ihlabathi namhlanje, mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwaso nasiphi na isizukulwana sangaphambili, lifuna inkululeko nolwaneliseko ‘ekwenzeni okwalo. Kodwa uYesu utyhila ukuba ulonwabo lwabantu luxhomekeke ngokusisiseko kukuthanda kukaThixo. Oku koko kuthethwa nguPawulos Ongcwele xa esithi uYesu “waba bubulumko bukaThixo ngenxa yethu.” ^[1]Ufundo lokuqala lwangoMgqibelo Ubomi bukaKristu buphela baba ngumzekelo nomzekelo wokuba siwulandele apho: kusekulandeleni ukuthanda kukaThixo, okucaciswe kwimithetho nezibophelelo zemeko yobomi bukabani, athi umntu angene ebomini bukaThixo. injabulo KaThixo.

Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe. Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze uvuyo lwam luhlale kuni, luthi novuyo lwenu luzaliseke. (UYohane 15: 10-11)

Le nyaniso iyasinda, ndiyazama ukuthi, iblorho yethu. Ngenxa yokuba ulindelo luncinane kakhulu, ngendlela ethile. Ngapha koko, uYesu wathi, “Idyokhwe yam imnandi, nomthwalo wam ukhaphukhaphu.” ^[2]I-Matt 11: 30 Usicela ukuba siphile umthetho wothando kuyo yonke into esiyenzayo, singawutyesheli kodwa senze “imibandela emincinane” ngothando olunenkathalo. Ngale ndlela, singena kwiLizwi elathethwa ekuqaleni kwendalo esele liyityhilile injongo yomntu, elo Lizwi lasimisela ukuba sibengezele yaye sibe novuyo. ngokwenza nje ukuthanda kukaThixo... kodwa kwezo ndlela ziphantse zabonakala zingabalulekanga. Ngoko ke, uPawulos ubhala athi:

UThixo unyule izinto ezizizidenge zehlabathi, ukuze ngokwenjenjalo adanise izilumko, unyule ke abaswele amandla ehlabathi, ukuba adane abomeleleyo… (isifundo sokuqala sangoMgqibelo)

Ewe, umhlaba uthi kufuneka ube yinto entle, igama lakho libhalwe kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo, iYouTube yakho kunye noFacebook "uthanda" ukunyuka ngemini! Emva koko ungumntu! Emva koko wenza umahluko! Kodwa uYohane uMbhaptizi uthetha into yobudenge kule meko:

Umelwe kukuthi ande; ndinciphe. ( Yohane 3:30 )

Kwaye apha "yimfihlelo" yokuthembeka kwimiba emincinci, oku kufa kwisiqu sakho umzuzwana ngomzuzwana, le ntobelo kwimithetho kunye nemimiselo yeNkosi yethu: ivula umphefumlo kubomi obuguqulayo kunye nokutshintsha amandla, kuKristu ohleli ngaphakathi. ^[3]cf. Yoh 14:23

Ilizwi lomnqamlezo libubudenge kwabatshabalalayo, kodwa kwabasindiswayo thina, lingamandla kaThixo. (ufundo lokuqala lwangolwesihlanu)

Bazalwana noodade, oku koko kuthethwa kukuba ngcwele, yaye sinjalo “babizelwe ukuba ngcwele.” ^[4]Ufundo lokuqala lwangoLwesine Ngokwahlukileyo koko, uYesu wabagxeka abaFarisi ngenxa yokuba bengavumi ukuba neentliziyo ezincinane nezivulelekileyo ngolo hlobo, ukuthembeka kwimibandela emincinane ekhokelela kwenkulu ngakumbi yaye maxa wambi eyimfuneko ngakumbi. Ukuchwela kukaYesu kwamlungiselela ukuba akhe iBandla kamva; Ukugcinwa kwendlu kaMariya eNazarete kwamkhokelela ekubeni abe nguMama wendlu kaThixo… kwaye ukuthembeka kwakho kuThixo kwizinto ezincinci kuya kulungiselela kwaye Guqula nina kwiimbopheleleko ezinkulu, ezizezi, ukuba nenxaxheba ekusindisweni kwemiphefumlo. Akukho xanduva lungaphezu kolu.

Ngoko ke, kuzo zonke iiNdumiso nofundo lwale veki, siva indlela uYehova abasikelela ngayo abo bamoyikayo; indlela uPawulos akuncoma ngayo ukuthembeka kwabantwana bakhe bokomoya; indlela iNkosi yethu ngokwayo ebakhangela ngayo abo “babambe nkqi” ekuthobeleni kwabo. Aba ngaba bancinane aya kuthi ngovuyo uYesu abamise phezu kwendlu yakhe...

Ngubani na ke loo mkhonzi uthembekileyo, uqondayo, eyathi inkosi yammisa phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuze abelane nabo ukudla ngexesha elifanelekileyo? Unoyolo loo mkhonzi, iya kuthi yakufika inkosi yakhe imfumane esenjenjalo. Inene, ndithi kuni, iya kummisa phezu kwayo yonke impahla yayo. (IVangeli yangoLwesine)
