Nanini na Sibona umntu ehlupheka, sihlala sisithi "Owu, umnqamlezo womntu unzima." Okanye ndicinge ukuba ezam iimeko, inokuba ziintsizi ezingalindelekanga, ukubuyela umva, izilingo, ukonakala, imiba yezempilo, njl.njl. Ngaphezu koko, sinokufuna ukulungiswa, ukuzila ukutya kunye nemikhosi yokongeza "emnqamlezweni" wethu. Ngelixa kuyinyani ukuba ukubandezeleka yinxalenye yomnqamlezo womntu, ukunciphisa oku kukuphosa oko uMnqamlezo ubonakalisa ngokwenene: uthando.
UKUTHANDA NJENGOBAThathu EMNYE
Ukuba yayikhona enye indlela yokuphilisa nokuthanda uluntu, uYesu ngewayethathe elo khondo. Kungenxa yoko le nto kumyezo waseGetsemane Wacenga uYise 
awona magama anyamezelayo, embiza "ngutata", ukuba enye indlela ibinokwenzeka, nceda uyenze njalo. “Abha, Bawo, zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuwe. Yithabathe le ndebe kum, kodwa makungabi kokuthandwa ndim, makube kokuthandwa nguwe. Kodwa ngenxa ye- indalo yesono, ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni yayikukuphela kwendlela apho ubulungisa bunokwaneliseka kwaye umntu angaphinda axolelaniswe noBawo.
Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa; ke sona isibabalo sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade, kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu. (KwabaseRoma 6:23)
Ke u-Kristu wawufumana umvuzo wethu, saphinda safumana ithuba lobomi obungunaphakade.
Kodwa uYesu wayengazimiselanga kubandezeleka, ngomntu ngamnye, kodwa ukusithanda. Kodwa ngokusithanda, kwafuneka ukuba ahlupheke. Ngelinye igama, ukubandezeleka ngamanye amaxesha sisiphumo sothando. Apha andithethi ngothando ngamagama othando okanye inkanuko kodwa eyona nto iyiyo: ukuzinikela okupheleleyo komnye. Kwilizwe eligqibeleleyo (okt. Izulu), olu hlobo luthando alunakuvelisa ukubandezeleka ngenxa yokuba inkanuko, ukutyekela esonweni (ukuzingca, ukubamba, ukuziqwebela, ukubawa, inkanuko, njl.njl. Uthando luya kunikwa simahla kwaye lwamkelwe simahla. UBathathu Emnye Ongcwele ngumzekelo wethu. Phambi kwendalo, uYise, uNyana, kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele babethandana ngokupheleleyo, ekupheni nasekufumaneni okuNye, kangangokuba kwakungavelisi nto ngaphandle kovuyo olungathethekiyo nolonwabo. Kwakungekho kubandezeleka kuko konke ukunikela ngesiqu sakho, kwesi senzo sothando sigqibeleleyo.
UYesu ke wehla weza emhlabeni wasifundisa loo ndlela Wayemthanda uYise, kwaye uYise wamthanda, kwaye uMoya waqukuqela njengoLuthando uqobo phakathi kwabo, yindlela esimele sithandane ngayo.
Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo, nam ndanithanda; hlalani eluthandweni lwam. (UYohane 15: 9)
Khange athethe oku kwiintaka okanye kwiintlanzi, kwiingonyama okanye iinyosi. Endaweni yokuba wafundisa oku Ndoda kwaye umfazi kuba senziwe ngokomfanekiso wakhe, kwaye ke, sikwazi ukuthanda nokuthandwa njengoBathathu Emnye.
Nguwo lo umthetho wam: thandanani, njengoko ndinithandayo nina. Akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu, lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele izihlobo zakhe. (UYohane 15: 12-13)
YOKUHLUPHEKA
UYesu wathi,
Nawuphi na umntu ongawuthwaliyo umnqamlezo wakhe andilandele, akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (ULuka 14:27)
Xa sisiva la mazwi, ngaba asikhe sicinge ngoko nangoko ngazo zonke iintlungu zethu? Lo okanye lo wezempilo, intswela-ngqesho, ityala, inxeba lotata, inxeba lomama, ukungcatshwa, njl. Kodwa nabangakholwayo bayasokola kwezi zinto. Umnqamlezo awusosibalo seentlungu zethu, endaweni yoko, umnqamlezo luthando esifanele silunike kude kube sekupheleni kwabo basendleleni yethu. Ukuba sicinga "ngomnqamlezo" njengentlungu yethu, emva koko sikhumbula oko wayekufundisa uYesu, sikhumbula oko uYise wakutyhilayo eMnqamlezweni:
Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze wonke umntu okholwayo kuye angatshabalali kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade. (UYohane 3:16)
Kodwa ungazibuza, “Ngaba ukubandezeleka akuthethi nto emnqamlezweni njengokuba kwenza kuYesu?” Ewe iyasebenza — kodwa hayi kuba kunjalo Unayo ukuya. Abaseki beCawa babona “emthini 
yobomi ”ngaphakathi kwegadi yase-Eden umfuziselo woMnqamlezo. Yaba ngumthi we ukufa, ngamanye amazwi, xa uAdam noEva bonayo. Ngokunjalo nothando esinika omnye komnye luba Umnqamlezo wokubandezeleka xa isono, esabanye kunye nesethu, singena emfanekisweni. Nasi isizathu:
Uthando luzeka kade umsindo, lunobubele; uthando alunamona okanye luqhayise; ayiziphakamisi okanye ikrwada. Uthando alunyanzelisi indlela yalo; alunomsindo okanye ingqumbo; aluvuyeli kungalungisi; luvuyisana nolungileyo. Uthando luthwala izinto zonke, lukholelwa izinto zonke, luthemba izinto zonke, lunyamezela izinto zonke. (1 Kor. 13: 4-7)
Ke uyabona ukuba kutheni ukuthanda uThixo kunye nokuthandana kunokuba ngumnqamlezo onzima kakhulu. Ukuba nomonde nobubele kwabo basicaphukisayo, singabamoneli okanye sizibeke kwimeko ethile, singanqumli omnye umntu kwincoko yethu, singanyanzeli indlela yethu yokwenza izinto, singabinangqumbo okanye sicaphukele abanye ubomi babo busikelelwe , ukungavuyi xa umntu esingamthandiyo ekhubeka, ethwala iimpazamo zabanye, angalahli ithemba kwiimeko ezibonakala zingenathemba, ukuba azinyamezele ngomonde zonke ezi zinto… nantsi into esinika yona ubunzima kuMnqamlezo wothando. Yiyo le nto umnqamlezo, ngelixa sisemhlabeni, uyakuhlala uyinto "yomthi wokufa" ekufuneka sixhonywe kuwo kude kubethelelwe uthando lwethu kwaye siphinde senziwe ngokomfanekiso wothando. Ewe, kude kubekho amazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha.
UMnqamlezo UTHANDO
The nkqo umqadi woMnqamlezo kukuthanda uThixo; umqadi oxwesileyo luthando lwethu ngommelwane. Ukuba ngumfundi waKhe, ke, ayiyonto yokwenza nje "ukunikela ngentlungu yam" Kukuthanda njengoko wasithandayo. Kukubambesa abahamba ze, ukunika isonka abalambileyo, ukuthandazela iintshaba zethu, ukuxolela abo basenzakalisayo, ukuhlamba izitya, ukutshayela phantsi kunye nokunceda bonke abo basingqongileyo ngokungathi bangoKrestu buqu. Ke xa uvuka yonke imihla ukuba "uthwale umnqamlezo wakho," ingqwalaselo ayifanele ibe kukusokola kwakho kodwa nakwabanye. Cinga ngokwakho ukuba ungaluthanda kwaye uluncede olo suku-nokuba liqabane lakho kuphela okanye abantwana bakho, nokuba kungomthandazo wakho xa ulele nje ebhedini. Nguwo umnqamlezo, kuba uMnqamlezo luthando.
Ukuba niyandithanda, yigcineni imithetho yam… Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina. (UYohane 14:15, 15:12)
Kuba wonke umthetho uzaliswe ngazwi linye, ngeli lithi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. (Gal 5:14)
uthando NguMnqamlezo ekufuneka siwuthwele, kwaye kwimeko apho isono sabanye kunye nokuba nesono kwethu kugqugqisileyo, kuya kuzisa ubunzima, ubungqwabalala, ameva nezikhonkwane zentlungu, ukubandezeleka, ukuthotywa isidima, isizungu, ukungaqondi, ukugculelwa kunye nentshutshiso.
Kodwa kubomi obulandelayo, loo Mnqamlezo Wothando uya kuba ngumthi woBomi oya kuthi kuwo uvune isiqhamo sovuyo noxolo ngonaphakade. Kwaye uYesu uya kuzisula zonke iinyembezi zakho.
Ke ngoko, bantwana bam, phila ngovuyo, ukukhanya, umanyano kunye nothando olufanayo. Yile nto uyifunayo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje. Ngale ndlela niya kuba ngabapostile besithandwa sam. Ngale ndlela uya kumngqina uNyana wam ngendlela eyiyo. -Inenekazi lethu laseMedjugorje kuthiwa laya eMirjana, nge-2 ka-Epreli 2019.
