Isikhathi Somusa

UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 27

 

NINI UNkulunkulu wangena emlandweni wesintu enyameni ngomuntu kaJesu, umuntu angasho ukuthi ubhabhadisile isikhathi uqobo. Ngokungazelelwe, uNkulunkulu — okhona kulo lonke iphakade — wayesehamba imizuzwana, imizuzu, amahora nezinsuku. UJesu wayembula ukuthi leso sikhathi ngokwaso siyimpambana-mgwaqo phakathi kweZulu nomhlaba. Ukuhlangana kwakhe noBaba, ukuba yedwa emthandazweni, kanye nayo yonke inkonzo Yakhe konke kulinganiswe ngesikhathi futhi iphakade ngasikhathi sinye…. Wabe esephendukela kithi wathi…

Lowo ongikhonzayo kufanele angilandele, futhi lapho ngikhona, nenceku yami iyoba lapho futhi. (Johane 12:26)

Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi thina, esisele emhlabeni, sibe noKristu, ohlezi ezulwini? Impendulo ukuthi ube lapho ekhona emhlabeni: ku umzuzu wamanje. Isikhathi esidlule asisekho; ozayo akakafiki. Umzuzu kuphela lokho kungukuthi, umzuzu wamanje. Ngakho-ke, nalapho kulapho uNkulunkulu ekhona — yingakho kungukuthi Isikhathi Somusa. Ngakho lapho uJesu ethi, “Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu”, ukuphela kwendawo yokuyifuna kulapho ikhona, entandweni kaNkulunkulu okwamanje. Njengoba uJesu asho,

… Umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze. (Math 3: 2)

Ngakho-ke isihambeli somoya akusiso esokugijimela phambili, kepha yilowo ngokucophelela nangothando othatha itshe lokuhamba elilodwa ngesikhathi. Ngenkathi umhlaba ugudla umgwaqo obanzi futhi olula, intando kaNkulunkulu ivezwa kunoma yikuphi okudingwa yisimo sethu sempilo ngokulandelayo. Njengoba nje uJesu asanga isiphambano sakhe, nathi kufanele siqabule lezi zikhathi ezincane zokushintsha amanabukeni, ukufaka intela, noma ukushanela phansi, ngoba Lapho kuyintando kaNkulunkulu.

Lapho eneminyaka engu-12, uJesu wangcwelisa i- ejwayelekile ngenkathi eshiya ithempeli eJerusalema futhi ebuyela ekhaya nabazali bakhe.

Wehla nabo weza eNazaretha, wabalalela… Futhi uJesu wakhula ekuhlakanipheni nasekukhuleni nasemseni phambi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. (Luka 2: 51-42)

Kepha eminyakeni eyi-18 eyalandela, iNkosi yethu ayenzi lutho ngaphandle komsebenzi wesikhashana. Ngakho-ke umuntu angahle enze iphutha ngokudabukisayo ukusho ukuthi lokhu bekungeyona kubalulekile ingxenye yomsebenzi kaKristu nobufakazi. Uma uJesu eguqula isikhumba sabanochoko eminyakeni eyalandela, eNazaretha wayeguqula isimo somsebenzi: UNkulunkulu wayengcwelisa umsebenzi wesikhashana. Wenza ingcweliso egeza izitsha, eshanela phansi, futhi esula uthuli lwefenisha; Wenza engcwele ethwala amanzi, wendlala umbhede, futhi wasenga imbuzi; Wenza ingcwele waphonsa inetha lezinhlanzi, walima ingadi futhi wageza izingubo. Ngoba lokhu kwakuyintando kaYise Ngaye.

Ukudla kwami ​​kukwenza intando yongithumileyo, ngiqede umsebenzi wakhe. (Johane 4:34)

Kwathi ekuqaleni, umsebenzi kaBaba kwakuzoba wumbazi! Asinakucabanga yini ukuthi lesi sisho esincane esilandelayo sikaJesu mhlawumbe sasinanela ngokuhlakanipha kukaMariya noma kukaJosefa ngenkathi ekhula?

Othembekile kokuncinyane uthembekile nakokukhulu. (Luka 16:10)

Izolo, ngikhulume ngokushiya ngokuphelele uNkulunkulu ngu ukwethembeka emzuzwini ngamunye, noma ngabe intando kaNkulunkulu iletha induduzo noma iziphambano. Lokhu kushiywa kufaka phakathi ukudlulisa konke okwedlule kanye nekusasa. Njengoba uJesu asho,

Ngisho nezinto ezincane kakhulu zingaphezu kwamandla akho. (Luka 12:26)

Noma njengoba isaga saseRussia sihamba:

Uma ungafi kuqala, uzoba nesikhathi sokwenza. Uma ufa ungakaqedi, awudingi ukukwenza.

UFr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade ukubeka ngale ndlela:

Ukwaneliseka kwethu kuphela okumele kube wukuphila kumzuzu wamanje sengathi akukho lutho olungalindelwa ngaphezu kwalo. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla Ukuhlinzekwa NguNkulunkulu, lihunyushwe nguJohn Beevers, k. (isingeniso)

Manje, “Ningakhathazeki ngekusasa,” UJesu wathi, “Kusasa lizozinakekela.” ^[1]I-Matt 6: 34

Kukhona ivesi kumahubo kaDavidi eligcwele ukuhlakanipha, ikakhulukazi esikhathini sethu sokungaqiniseki.

Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni zami nokukhanya endleleni yami. (IHubo 119: 105)

Intando kaNkulunkulu ivame kakhulu, hhayi isibani sangaphambili, kodwa isibani nje — ukukhanya okwanele esinyathelweni esilandelayo. Ngivame ukukhuluma nentsha ethi, “Angazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ngenzeni. Ngizwa lolu bizo lokwenza lokhu noma lokho, kepha angazi ukuthi kufanele ngenzeni… ”Impendulo yami ithi: yenza umsebenzi wakho wesikole, hlanza izitsha. Bheka, uma wenza intando kaNkulunkulu umzuzu nomzuzu, ulwela ukwethembeka Kuye, lapho-ke ngeke uphuthelwe yithuba lokugoba, umnyango ovuliwe, noma uphawu lwezimpawu oluthi, “Ngalendlela Ngane Yami.”

Cabanga ngokujabula, ukuzungeza, uhlobo owadlala ngalo useyingane olwaluzungeza ngemibuthano. Eliseduze lafika maphakathi nomcimbi wokujabula, kwaba lula ukubamba, kepha emaphethelweni kwakunzima kakhulu ukulenga lapho kuqhubeka ngokushesha okukhulu! Isikhungo sifana nesikhathi samanje—lapho iphakade liphambana nesikhathi-the Isikhathi Somusa. Kepha uma "unqenqemeni" ulenga esikhathini esizayo — noma ubambelela kokwedlule — uzolahlekelwa ukuthula kwakho. Indawo yokuphumula komphefumulo we-pilgrim ise- manje, iGrace Moment, ngoba kulapho uNkulunkulu ekhona. Uma sikuyeka lokho esingenakukuguqula, uma sizishiya entandweni kaNkulunkulu eyekelelayo, lapho-ke sifana nengane encane engenzi lutho ngaphandle kokuhlala phansi ishiye idolo likaPapa wakhe okwamanje. UJesu wathi: “Umbuso wezulu ungowalabo abancane.” Umbuso utholakala kuphela lapho ukhona: kuGrace Moment, ngoba uJesu wathi:

… Umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze. (Math 3: 2)
