Umculi Akaziwa

NINI ingelosi uGabriyeli iza kuMariya ukumemezela ukuthi uzokhulelwa futhi azale indodana "iNkosi uNkulunkulu eyomnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide uyise," ^[1]ULuka 1: 32 uphendula ukumenyezelwa kwakhe ngamazwi athi, “Bheka, ngiyincekukazi yeNkosi. Kwangathi kungenziwa kimi ngokwezwi lakho. " ^[2]ULuka 1: 38 Umlingani wasezulwini wala mazwi kamuva kukhulunywa ngomlomo lapho uJesu eza kuye izimpumputhe ezimbili eVangelini lanamuhla

Kwathi edlula, izimpumputhe ezimbili zamlandela, zamemeza zathi: “Ndodana kaDavide, sihawukele!”

UJesu ungena endlini yabo — kodwa ubese ebavivinya. Ngoba njengoba sizwe eVangelini layizolo,

Akuwona wonke umuntu othi kimi, 'Nkosi, Nkosi,' oyongena eMbusweni wezulu. (bheka uMathewu 7)

Ngakho uJesu uyababuza, “Uyakholelwa yini ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu?”Lapho benikela nge-fiat yabo,“ Yebo, Nkosi, ”uyaphendula:

Mawenziwe kuwe ngokokholo lwakho.

Lapho sikhala kuJesu ekuhluphekeni kwethu, Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele, ungena endlini yethu athi, Uyangethemba? UJesu ukusho kanjani lokhu kithi? Ngokuvumela izimo zempilo yethu zisishiye kancane ebumnyameni lapho singenakubona khona izixazululo, lapho ukucabanga kwethu komuntu kwehluleka khona, lapho esizizwa sengathi uNkulunkulu usilahlile.

… Ngokuba sihamba ngokukholwa, hhayi ngokubona. (2 Kor 5: 7)

Ngabe uzongilinda, Uthi? Kepha asikwazi ukulinda! Sivame ukuqala ukukhononda nokukhononda, sibe nolaka kuNkulunkulu, sinenhliziyo encane nomakhelwane wethu, sibi futhi sidangele. “UNkulunkulu akangilaleli… akayizwa imithandazo yami… akanandaba!” Akusikho lokhu okwashiwo ngabakwa-Israyeli ehlane na? Ingabe sihlukile?

UNkulunkulu wavumela izilingo ukuvivinya ukholo lwabo. Kodwa kusho ukuthini 'ukuvivinya ukholo lwethu'? Akufanele sikubone njengohlobo lokuhlolwa kwesikole:

• a) Uyakholwa?
• b) Awukholwa na?
• c) Angiqiniseki.

Kunalokho, ukuvivinya ukholo lwethu kulingana nokuthi ukuhlanza it. Kungani? Ngoba lapho ukholo lwethu lumsulwa ngokwengeziwe, kulapho sizokwanda khona bheka Lowo ongukugcwaliseka kokulangazelela kwethu konke. Kufana nomthandi onqamula amagquma nezintaba, imigwaqo yedolobha nemigwaqo emincane, ecinga futhi ebiza isethembiso sakhe. Futhi lapho emthola, usethole konke. Uyamthatha amthathe abe ngumkakhe, laba bobabili baba munye.

Ukubona uNkulunkulu kungukuMthola futhi ube munye naye, ukuze ube like Yena.

… Siyoba njengaye, ngoba sizombona njengoba enjalo. Yilowo nalowo onalo leli themba, uzenza msulwa njengalokhu naye ehlanzekile. (1 Johane 3: 2-3)

Ngakho-ke, uvivinya, noma-ke, ahlanze ukholo lwakho ukuze ugcwaliseke ngokuthembela kuye kakhulu. UNkulunkulu akayona i-sadochist! Akazihlukumezi izingane zaKhe. Unenjabulo yakho enhliziyweni!

Ngaleso sikhathi, sonke isiyalo sibukeka njengesizathu senjabulo kepha hhayi sobuhlungu, kepha kamuva siletha isithelo sokuthula sokulunga kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiso. (Heb 12:11)

Kulabo abathi linda ngaye embusweni.

Ngoba ngomlilo igolide lihlolwe, futhi abakhethiweyo, ku-crucible yokululazeka Thembela kuNkulunkulu, uzokusiza; lungisani izindlela zenu nithembele kuye… Babusisiwe abahlanzekile enhliziyweni, ngokuba bayobona uNkulunkulu. (Sir 2: 5-6; Mat 5: 8)

USt. Catherine waseSienna wabhala,

Ngoba uma ebunzimeni besinganikeli bufakazi bangempela bokubekezela kepha sizame ukugwema ubunzima… lokhu kungaba yisibonakaliso esisobala sokuthi asikhonzi uMdali wethu, nokuthi asizivumeli ukuthi sibuswe nguye ekwamukeleni ngokuzithoba nangothando noma yini iNkosi yethu esinikeza yona. Ngeke kunikeze ubufakazi bokholo lokuthi siyathandwa yiNkosi yethu. Ngoba uma besikukholelwa ngokweqiniso lokhu, besingeke sithole isikhubekiso kunoma yini. Singahlonipha futhi sihloniphe isandla [esinikeza] umunyu wezinselele njengesandla [esinikeza] ukuchuma nenduduzo, ngoba sizobona ukuthi konke kwenziwa ngothando. -kusukela Izincwadi zikaSt.Catherine waseSiena, Umq. II; iphinde yashicilelwa I-Magnificat, Disemba 2013, k. 77

Ngaphandle kwalokho, uthi, empeleni asiboni.

Lona kanye iqiniso lokuthi singakuboni lokhu bekuzokhombisa ukuthi sesibe yizinceku zenyama yethu yobugovu nentando yethu engokomoya, nokuthi sizenze zaba yiNkosi yethu ngakho-ke besizivumela ukuthi zibuswe yizo. —Ibhid. 77

Ukuthembela kuNkulunkulu ngokuphelele isinyathelo sokuqala sokuqala ukumbona, ukuthola Lowo oyiNtandokazi yakho, ukungena ku Idolobha Lenjabulo…

… Ukuze ngibuke ubuhle beNkosi futhi ngicabange ngethempeli lakhe. (IHubo 27)

Futhi bafowethu nodadewethu, lokhu akudingi ukuthatha impilo yakho yonke! Ukungena eMzini Wenjabulo nokwenyuka ezindlini zawo zokuhlala kungenzeka ngokushesha okukhulu, “ngokokholo lwakho.” Lapho uba njengengane encane, uyazinikela, uthembele, futhi ngokuzithoba ukulinda kuye, kulapho amehlo akho azovuleka ngokwengeziwe ukukuvumela ukuba “umbone.” Njengoba kusho esifundweni sokuqala namuhla,

The ophansi bayothola injabulo eNkosini, futhi abampofu thokoza oNgcwele ka-Israyeli. (U-Isaya 29)

“Abaphansi” “nabampofu” yilabo abanengcebo eyintando kaNkulunkulu, abazama ukuyiphila ngomzuzu ngamunye futhi balwele…

… Ngalobo bungcwele okungekho noyedwa oyobona iNkosi. (Heb 12:14)

Kepha noma kunjalo, ungazithola ungcwatshwe ngaphansi kwezinkinga eziyinkulungwane. Yini-ke edingekayo kuwe? Ukulinda Yena. Ukulinda isikhathi Sakhe. Ukulinda Yena abuyisele itshe lethuna. Uyakhumbula ufunda kuleli sonto mayelana nabagulayo nezinyonga abeza kuJesu ukuzophulukiswa? Ithi babenaye for izinsuku ezintathu ngaphambi kokuthi ekugcineni akwandise ukudla futhi abaphakele. Lokhu kufanekisela izinsuku ezintathu uJesu azichitha ethuneni… leso sikhathi sokulinda lapho uzizwa ubethelwe esiphambanweni, uthululiwe, uthobekile futhi ubonakala ngathi ulahliwe. Kepha uma ulinda, uma ungazami "ukugwema ubunzima", njengoba uCatherine esho, amandla oVuko azofika.

Lesi sikhathi sokulinda-ke, isikhathi sokuthandaza ngamazwi weHubo lanamuhla:

Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi ngizobona umusa kaJehova ezweni labaphilayo. Lindela uJehova ngesibindi; yiba nesibindi, ulindele uJehova. (IHubo 27)
