ST. U-Augustine wake wathi, “Nkosi, ngihlanze, kepha hhayi okwamanje! "
Wadalula ukwesaba okuvamile phakathi kwabakholwayo nabangakholwa ngokufanayo: ukuthi ukuba ngumlandeli kaJesu kusho ukudlula ezintweni ezijabulisa umhlaba; ukuthi ekugcineni kubizwa ukuhlupheka, ukuswela, nobuhlungu kulomhlaba; ekwenziweni inyama kube kubi, ukuqedwa kwentando, nokwenqatshwa kenjabulo. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ezifundweni zangeSonto eledlule, sizwe uSt Paul ethi, “Ninikele ngemizimba yenu njengomhlatshelo ophilayo” [1]isib. Rom 12: 1 uJesu wathi:
Noma ngubani othanda ukungilandela makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela, kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola. (Math 16: 24-26)
Yebo, uma uthi nhlá, ubuKrestu bubukeka buyindlela edabukisayo ongayithatha ngenkathi yomuntu emfushane yokuphila kwakhe. UJesu uzwakala kakhulu njengombhubhisi kunomsindisi.
Ufunani kithi Jesu waseNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ungubani: ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
Kepha okulahlekile kulokhu kuhlola okungekho emthethweni yiqiniso elisemqoka lokuthi kungani uJesu eza emhlabeni, efingqiwe kulezi zingxenye ezintathu zeBhayibheli:
… Uzomqamba igama lokuthi uJesu, ngoba uzosindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo… (Mat 1:21)
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, wonke umuntu owenza isono uyisigqila sesono. (Johane 8:34)
UKristu wasikhululela enkululekweni; ngakho-ke yimani niqine futhi ningaphinde nizithobe ejokeni lobugqila. (Gal 5: 1)
UJesu akazelanga ukuzozigqilaza ngosizi, kodwa uzosikhulula kulo! Yini esenza sidabuke ngempela? Ngabe ukuthanda uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu, umphefumulo, namandla… noma icala nehlazo esizizwayo esonweni sethu? Okuhlangenwe nakho kwendawo yonke kanye nempendulo eqotho kulowo mbuzo kulula:
Inkokhelo yesono ngukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. (Rom 6:23)
Lapha, "abacebile nabadumile" bomhlaba basebenza njengomfanekiso — ukuthi umuntu angaba kanjani nakho konke (imali, amandla, ubulili, izidakamizwa, udumo, njll.) - kepha nokho, ube usaphukelwa umkhumbi ngaphakathi. Banokufinyelela kuyo yonke intokozo yesikhashana, kepha babamba ngokungaboni ngokuthokoza okuhlala njalo nokwaphakade okubalekela njalo.
Futhi-ke, kungani thina esivele singamaKristu sisaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ukusiphuca okuncane esinakho vele? 
Siyesaba ukuthi uma sinikela ngo "yebo" wethu ophelele nophelele kuye, uzobe esesicela ukuthi sidedele lelo khothane elisechibini, noma leyo ndoda noma lowesifazane esimthandayo, noma leyo moto entsha kuthengiwe, noma injabulo yokudla okuhle, ubulili, noma inqwaba yezinye izinjabulo. Njengendoda eyinsizwa ecebile emaVangelini, noma nini lapho sizwa uJesu esibiza ngokuthi siphezulu, sihamba ngokudabuka.
Uma ufisa ukupheleliswa, hamba uthengise onakho uphe abampofu, khona-ke uyoba nengcebo ezulwini. Bese uza ungilandele. ” Lapho le nsizwa izwa leli zwi, yamuka idabukile, ngokuba yayinempahla eningi. (Math 19: 21-22)
Ngifuna ukuqhathanisa okuthile kule ndima lapho uJesu acela uPetru ukuthi naye ashiye amanetha akhe okudoba amlandele. Siyazi ukuthi uPetru walandela uJesu masinyane… kodwa, emva kwalokho, sifunda ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukuthi uPetru wayesenaso isikebhe sakhe namanethi akhe. Kwenzenjani?
Endabeni yale nsizwa ecebile, uJesu wabona ukuthi izimpahla zakhe ziyisithixo nokuthi, kulezi zinto, inhliziyo yakhe ibizinikele. Futhi-ke, bekudingeka ukuthi le nsizwa "ishaye izithombe zayo" ngokulandelana ukukhululeka, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, ngijabule ngempela. Ngoba,
Akekho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili. Uyozonda enye athande enye, noma azinikele kokunye adelele enye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona. (Mathewu 6:24)
Angithi umbuzo wale nsizwa kuJesu wawuthi, “Yini enhle okufanele ngiyenze ukuze ngithole ukuphila okuphakade?” UPeter, ngakolunye uhlangothi, wabizwa futhi ukuthi alahle impahla yakhe. Kodwa uJesu akazange amcele ukuba azithengise. Kungani? Ngoba isikebhe sikaPetru ngokusobala sasingesona isithombe esimvimbela ekuzinikeleni ngokuphelele eNkosini.
… Bashiya amanetha abo, bamlandela. (Marku 1:17)
Njengoba kuvela, isikebhe sikaPetru saba ithuluzi eliwusizo kakhulu ekusebenzeni ukuthunywa kweNkosi, noma ngabe kwakuthutha uJesu 
emadolobheni ahlukahlukene noma ukuhambisa izimangaliso ezimbalwa ezembule amandla nenkazimulo kaKristu. Izinto nobumnandi, ngokwabo, akubona ububi; yindlela esizisebenzisa noma esizifuna ngayo ezingaba khona. Indalo kaNkulunkulu yanikezwa isintu ukuze sikwazi ukumthola futhi simthande ngeqiniso, ngobuhle, nangobuhle. Lokho akukashintshi.
Tshela abacebile kulesi sikhathi samanje ukuthi bangaziqhenyi futhi bangathembeli entweni engaqinisekile kangako njengengcebo kodwa bathembele kuNkulunkulu, osinika ngokucebile zonke izinto ukuze sizithokozise. Batshele ukuthi benze okuhle, bacebe emisebenzini emihle, baphane, balungele ukwabelana, ngaleyo ndlela baqongelele njengengcebo isisekelo esihle sesikhathi esizayo, ukuze bazuze impilo eyimpilo yeqiniso. (2 Thim 6: 17-19)
Ngakho-ke, uJesu uphendukela kuwe nami namuhla futhi uthi, "Ngilandele." Kubukeka kanjani lokho? Yebo, lowo ngumbuzo ongafanele. Uyabona, vele sesiyacabanga, “Yini okufanele ngiyidele?” Kunalokho, umbuzo ofanele uthi “Ngingakusebenzela kanjani (nenginakho) Nkosi?” Futhi uJesu uyaphendula…
Ngizele ukuba [nibe] nokuphila, futhi nibe nakho kuchichime… noma ngubani olahlekelwa ngumphefumulo wakhe ngenxa yami uzowuthola… Nikela futhi uphiwe; isilinganiso esihle, esigcwele ndawonye, esinyakazisiwe, nesichichimayo, sizothululelwa ethangeni lakho ... Ukuthula ngikushiya nawe; ukuthula kwami ngininika kona; anginikeli njengoba umhlaba unikeza. Izinhliziyo zenu mazingakhathazeki, futhi zingasabi. (Johane 10:10; Math 16:26; Luka 6:38; Johane 14:27)
Lokho uJesu akuthembisa wena nami kuyiqiniso Inkululeko futhi injabulo, hhayi njengoba umhlaba unikeza, kepha njengoba uMdali ahlose. Impilo yobuKrestu ayikona ukuncishwa ubuhle bendalo kaNkulunkulu, kepha ukwenqaba ukuhlanekezelwa kwayo, esikubiza ngokuthi “yisono”. Futhi-ke, asikwazi ukuqhubekela phambili “ekujuleni” kwaleyo nkululeko engeyethu njengamadodana namadodakazi oPhezukonke ngaphandle kokuthi siwalahle amanga alawo mademoni esaba azama ukusenza sikholwe ukuthi ubuKrestu buzoqeda injabulo yethu. Cha! Lokho uJesu azele ukuzochitha amandla esono ezimpilweni zethu, futhi wabulala “umuntu omdala”Lokho kungukuhlanekezelwa komfanekiso kaNkulunkulu esidalwe ngaye.
Futhi-ke, lokhu ukufa kimi Ngempela ifuna ukwenqatshwa kwezifiso ezimbi ngokweqile kanye nokufisa kwesimo sethu sobuntu esiwile. Kwabanye bethu, kuzosho ukushaya lezi zithombe ngokuphelele futhi sishiye onkulunkulu balezi zidakwa njengezinto zakudala. Kwabanye, kuzosho ukubeka phansi lezi zinkanuko ukuze balalele uKristu, futhi njengesikebhe sikaPetru, bakhonze iNkosi, hhayi thina. Kunoma ikuphi, lokhu kubandakanya ukuzidela ngesibindi nokuthatha isiphambano sokuzincisha ukuze sibe ngumfundi kaJesu, ngaleyo ndlela, sibe yindodana noma indodakazi esendleleni eya enkululekweni yeqiniso.
Ngoba lokhu kuhlupheka okuncane okwesikhashana kusivezela isisindo saphakade senkazimulo engenakuqhathaniswa, njengoba singabheki kokubonwayo kepha kokungabonwayo; ngoba okubonwayo kudlula, kepha okungabonwayo kungunaphakade. (2 Kor 4: 17-18)
Uma sigxilisa amehlo ethu kwengcebo yaseZulwini, lapho-ke singasho nomhubi namuhla: “Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi ngizobona umusa weNkosi ezweni labaphilayo”—Hhayi eZulwini kuphela. Kepha kudinga okwethu i-fiat, u "yebo" wethu kuNkulunkulu no "cha" oqinile esonweni.
Futhi ukubekezela.
Lindela uJehova ngesibindi; yiba nesibindi senhliziyo, ulindele iNkosi… UJehova ungukukhanya kwami nensindiso yami; ngingasaba bani? UJehova uyisiphephelo sokuphila kwami; kufanele ngesabe bani? (Ihubo lanamuhla)
