UKristu Namasela Amahle, IsiTitian (Tiziano Vecellio), c. 1566
LAPHO kunokudideka okukhulu namuhla ngokuthi "uthando" kanye "nesihe" kanye "nobubele" kusho ukuthini. Kangangokuba ngisho neBandla ezindaweni eziningi lilahlekelwe ukucaciseleka kwalo, amandla eqiniso athi ngaso leso sikhathi ahebe izoni aziphikise. Lokhu akubonakali njengalowo mzuzu eKalvari lapho uNkulunkulu ehlanganyela amahloni ngamasela amabili…
KUVEZWA UMUSA
Elinye lamasela amabili abebethelwe noJesu limklolodela:
Wena awusiye uKristu na? Zisindise kanye nathi. ” “Lesinye isela lasikhuza, laphendula, lathi:“ Awumesabi uNkulunkulu, ngokuba ubhekene nokulahlwa okufanayo na? Ngempela sigwetshwe kufanele, ngoba isigwebo esisitholile sihambisana namacala ethu, kodwa lo muntu akenzanga lutho olubi. ” Wabe esethi, “Jesu, ngikhumbule lapho ungena embusweni wakho.” Wamphendula wathi, "Amen, ngithi kuwe, namuhla uzokuba nami ePharadesi." (Johane 23: 39-43)
Lapha simangele, sithule ngokujulile ukuthi kwenzekani kulokhu kushintshana. Yisikhathi lapho uMhlengi wesintu aqala khona isicelo ukufaneleka kothando nokufa Kwakhe: UJesu, kunjengokungathi ubiza owokuqala isoni kuye. Yisikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu embula khona injongo yothando Lwakhe lokuzidela: ukunika umusa kubantu. Leli yihora lapho inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu izovuleka khona kuvuleke umusa njengegagasi lamanzi, ligcwalise umhlaba njengolwandle olunzulu olungenakuqondakala, lugeza ukufa nokubola futhi lumboze izigodi zamathambo abantu abafile. Kuzalwa umhlaba omusha.
Futhi-ke, kulo mzuzu womusa omise izigidigidi zezingelosi, kumile kuphela one isela ukuthi lomusa waphezulu unikezwe: “namuhla wena uzoba nami ePharadesi. ” UJesu akazange athi, “Namuhla, nobabili…. kodwa “uphendule wathi yena, ” okungukuthi, isela lesibili. Lapha sibona umgomo, a elula Isimiso esiqondise imfundiso yeSonto iminyaka engama-2000:
UMUSA WENZELELA UKUPHENDUKA—
UKUTHETHELELA KULANDELA UKUPHENDUKA
Khumbula lawa mazwi; bambelela kuzo ngendlela ongathanda ngayo okokuphila, ngoba I-Tsunami Engokomoya yenkohliso egijimisa umhlaba ngalesi sikhathi ifuna ukuqeda leli qiniso, elibumba yona kanye halo weBarque kaPetru.
“Isihe sandulela ukuphenduka”
Lona kanye umnyombo wamaVangeli, umnyombo wesigijimi sikaKristu ngenkathi Ehamba ngasogwini lwaseGalile: Ngizile ukuzokufuna, imvu elahlekile.Lesi yisiqalo esijulile seNdaba Yothando esenzeka emgqeni ngamunye wamaVangeli.
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke umuntu okholwa yiyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo. (Johane 3: 16-17)
Lokhu kusho ukuthi uThando akasakwazanga ukulinda. Umhlaba waba njengomlobokazi ophingayo, kepha uJesu, njengomkhwenyana onomona, wafuna ukubuyisela umakoti wakhe onamabala futhi ongcolile. Akazange alinde ukuphenduka kwethu; kodwa kunalokho, ekhombisa ukusithanda Kwakhe, welula izingalo Zakhe, wahlatshwa ngenxa yezono zethu, futhi waklebhula inhliziyo Yakhe ngokungathi uthi: akukhathalekile ukuthi ungubani, noma ngabe umphefumulo wakho umnyama kanjani ngenxa yesono, noma ngabe uwe kude kangakanani noma uvukele kabi kangakanani… Mina, enginguLove uqobo, ngiyakuthanda.
UNkulunkulu uqinisekisa uthando lwakhe ngathi ngokuthi lapho siseyizoni uKristu wasifela. (Rom 5: 8)
Manje-ke kungani uJesu enganwebelanga iPharadesi isela lokuqala?
"Ukuthethelelwa kulandela ukuphenduka"
Umuntu akakwazi ukubiza amaVangeli ngokuthi yi "Love Story" yeqiniso uma engekho ezimbili abathandi. Amandla ale Ndaba alele enkululekweni uNkulunkulu enza ngayo umuntu, inkululeko yokuthanda uMdali wakhe—noma cha. UNkulunkulu uba ngumuntu ukuze afune lowo ongasamthandi ukuze ammemele kwinkululeko nasenjabulweni yokwanga kwabo kokuqala… buyisana. Futhi yingakho kuphela isela lesibili elingeniswa ePharadesi: kunguye kuphela kulaba ababili owamukela lokho akubona kahle phambi kwakhe. Futhi yini ayemukelayo? Okokuqala, ukuthi “ulahlwe ngokufaneleyo,” ukuthi uyisoni; kodwa futhi, ukuthi uKristu akekho.
Wonke umuntu ongivuma phambi kwabanye ngiyomvuma phambi kukaBaba osezulwini. Kepha noma ngubani ongiphika phambi kwabanye, nami ngiyomphika phambi kukaBaba osezulwini. (Math 10:32)
Kusobala-ke ukuthi amasela womabili azi kahle, ngaphezu kwalokho ebesingakulindela, ngomsebenzi kaJesu. Isela lokuqala livuma, ngezinga elithile, ukuthi uKristu unguMesiya; isela lesibili liyavuma ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi “enombuso.” Kepha kungani-ke, kungamasela wesibili kuphela amukelwa eBridal Chamber? Ngoba ukwamukela uJesu phambi kwabanye kusho ukwamukela ukuthi ungubani futhi ngubani Ngi, okungukuthi, isoni.
Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile futhi ulungile futhi uzothethelela izono zethu asihlanze kukho konke okubi. Uma sithi: “Asonanga,” simenza umqambimanga, nezwi lakhe alikho kithi. (1 Johane 1: 9-10)
Lapha, uJohn udwebe isithombe esihle sombhede womshado weSiphambano. UKristu, uMkhwenyana, ufuna “ukugxilisa” kuMlobokazi Wakhe “izwi” elinamandla okuzala impilo yaphakade. Njengoba uJesu asho kwenye indawo: “Amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe angumoya nokuphila.” [1]John 6: 63 Ukuze “lamukele” leli “zwi lokuphila”, umuntu kufanele “avule” ngokukholwa, adedele isono, futhi amukele Lowo “oyiqiniso.”
Akekho ozelwe nguNkulunkulu owenza isono, ngoba imbewu kaNkulunkulu ihlala kuye; akanakoni ngoba uzelwe nguNkulunkulu. (1 Johane 3: 9)
Ngokukholwa kwakhe kuJesu, isela lesibili lacwiliswa ngokuphelele emuseni kaNkulunkulu. Ungasho ukuthi, ngaleso sikhathi, isela lase lidele impilo yalo yesono, lenza ukuzisola kwalo esiphambanweni, futhi ngokubheka iFace of Love, lalivele liguqulwa ngaphakathi kusuka “enkazimulweni kuye enkazimulweni”, kube sengathi ubevele emthanda uKristu okuwukuphela kwendlela eyiqiniso:
Uma ungithanda, gcina imiyalo yami. (Johane 14:15)
Bona ukuthi ucebe kangakanani umusa kaNkulunkulu!
… Uthando lumboza inqwaba yezono. (Johane 14:15; 1 Pet. 4: 8)
Kepha futhi nokuthi uNkulunkulu ulungile kanjani.
Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; kepha ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. (Johane 6:36)
UMUSA WEQINISO
Ngakho-ke, yini uJesu ayibonisayo umusa weqiniso kuyinto. Kungukusithanda lapho singathandeki kakhulu; kungukusiqhweba lapho sihlubuka kakhulu; kungukufuna lapho silahlekile kakhulu; kungukusibiza
lapho siyizithulu kakhulu; kungukusifela lapho sesifile esonweni sethu; nokusithethelela lapho singenakuthethelelwa kakhulu ukuze sikhululeke.
UKristu wasikhululela enkululekweni; ngakho-ke yimani niqine futhi ningaphinde nizithobe ejokeni lobugqila. (Gal 5: 1)
Futhi sithola i- izinzuzo yalesihe, leyo inkululeko, kuphela lapho sizothandeka; kuphela uma siyeka ukudlubulunda; kuphela uma sikhetha ukutholakala; kuphela lapho sivuma ukulalela; kuphela lapho sivuka ezonweni zethu ngokucela ukuxolelwa kokungenakuthethelelwa. Kuphela lapho, lapho siqala ukubuyela kuYe “ngomoya nangeqiniso”, sivulelwe neminyango yePharadesi.
Ngakho-ke, ningakhohliswa, bangane abathandekayo: yilabo kuphela abaphenduka ezonweni zabo — hhayi abazithethelelayo njengesela lokuqala — abalungele uMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
KUFUNDWA OKUFUNDILE
Ngibonga wonke umuntu oseke wasekela
le nkonzo yesikhathi esigcwele ngokusebenzisa
imithandazo nezipho zakho.
