Izipho ezinhle kunazo zonke

Bekuwumshado owubukhazikhazi kunawo wonke onyakeni kanti uyise kamakoti oyisigidi esiningi akashiyanga lutho ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi umshado wendodakazi yakhe eyizibulo wawukhumbuleka. Abantu ababaluleke kakhulu edolobheni babesohlwini lwezivakashi futhi uhlu lwezipho nezimemo zithunyelwe kuzo zonke izihambeli. Ngosuku olukhulu, izivakashi zafika ngamakhulu azo zaletha izipho zazo. Nokho, umkhwenyana wayengacebile futhi wayengaveli emndenini ocebile. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyise wayecebe kakhulu, izihambeli zaziletha izipho ezikhethekile kakhulu, ezazijabulisa uyise womlobokazi.

Lapho lo mbhangqwana uthuthela efulethini lawo elincane, waqala ukuqaqa izipho ukuze ubone ukuthi yisiphi isivakashi esiwunike ini. Yize bebengasitholi isikhala efulethini labo ukuze kungene zonke izipho kodwa kukhona obekukhona umakoti abesezosiqaqa - isipho sikayise. Ngemva kokukhipha wonke amabhokisi amakhulu, waqaphela ukuthi akukho nesisodwa isipho esihle esasivela kuyise. Phakathi kwamaphasela amancane kwakukhona isipho esasigoqwe ngephepha lokugoqa elinsundu futhi lapho elivula waqaphela ukuthi ngaphakathi kwakuneBhayibheli elincane elinesikhumba. Ngaphakathi kufundeka kanje: "Endodakazini yethu esiyithandayo kanye nomkhwenyana wethu emshadweni kamama nobaba." Ngaphansi kwakunamavesi amabili eBhayibheli: uMathewu 6,31—33 noMathewu 7:9–11.

Wadumala kakhulu umakoti. Abazali bakhe babengamnika kanjani iBhayibheli kuphela? Lokhu kudumala kwaqhubeka iminyaka eminingi futhi kwaqhubeka ngemva kokushona kukayise. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, ngosuku lokukhumbula ukufa kwakhe, wabona iBhayibheli abazali bakhe ababemnikeze lona ngomshado wabo futhi walithatha eshalofini lase lihlala khona kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Wavula ikhasi lokuqala futhi wafunda: 'Endodakazini yethu ethandekayo nomkhwenyana wethu emshadweni wabo. Kusuka kuMama noBaba». Wanquma ukufunda lo mbhalo kuMathewu 6 futhi lapho evula iBhayibheli lakhe, wathola isheke egameni lakhe nenani lama-franc ayisigidi. Wabe esefunda lesi siqephu seBhayibheli: «Akufanele ukhathazeke ngakho bese uthi: Sizodlani? Sizophuzani? Sizogqokani? Abahedeni bafuna konke lokhu. Ngokuba uYihlo osezulwini uyazi ukuthi niyakudinga konke lokhu. Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe, khona konke lokhu kuyakuba-ngokwenu” (Mathewu 6:31-33). Wabe esevula leli khasi futhi wafunda ivesi elilandelayo: “Ubani phakathi kwenu oyonikela ngendodana yakhe itshe lapho icela isinkwa kuyo? Noma, uma icela inhlanzi, anikele inyoka? Ngakho-ke uma nina enibabi nikwazi ukupha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, kakhulu kangakanani uYihlo osezulwini uzakubapha okuhle abacela kuye.” ( Mathewu 7,9-11). Waqala wakhala kabuhlungu. Wayengamzwisisi kanjani uyise kanje? Wayemthanda kakhulu, kodwa akazange akuqaphele - yeka inhlekelele!

Isipho esihle kakhulu

Emasontweni ambalwa umhlaba uzophinde ugubhe uKhisimusi. Abaningi bakhathazeka ngokuthi yisiphi isipho esingasithengela liphi ilungu lomndeni. Abaningi sebeyazibuza ukuthi yiziphi izipho abazozithola kulo nyaka. Ngeshwa, bambalwa abazi isipho sikaKhisimusi asebesitholile kudala. Isizathu sokuthi bangafuni ukwazi ngalesi sipho ukuthi bekuyingane esongwe emkhombeni. Njengoba nje abasanda kushada babebheka iphepha elinsundu neBhayibheli labo njengento engelutho, abantu abaningi bayasishaya indiva isipho uNkulunkulu asinikeze sona ngoJesu Kristu. IBhayibheli likufingqa kanje: “Sibonga uNkulunkulu ngeNdodana yakhe—isipho esihle kakhulu esingenakuchazwa ngamazwi! (2. AbaseKorinte 9,15 I-New Life Bible).

Ngisho noma abazali bakho bekunikeza izipho ezinhle kakhulu kulo Khisimusi, nawe ubanikeze isono. Yebo, uzokufa! Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba usole abazali bakho ngalokhu, qonda ukuthi abazali babo bathola isono kubazali babo siqu, nabo abasithola kokhokho babo futhi ekugcineni kuAdamu, ukhokho wesintu.

Zikhona izindaba ezinhle nokho – izindaba ezimnandi, empeleni! Lomlayezo walethwa abelusi yingelosi eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule: «Ngilethela bonke abantu izindaba ezinhle! UMsindisi—yebo, uKristu iNkosi—uzelwe kulobubusuku eBhetlehema, emzini kaDavide.” ( Luka 2,11—12 New Life Bible). IVangeli likaMathewu lisitshela nangephupho uJosefa aliphupha: “Yena, uMariya, uzozala indodana. Uzayiqamba ngokuthi nguJesu, ngoba nguye ozakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zonke.” ( Mat 1,21).

Akufanele ubeke eceleni isipho esiyigugu kunazo zonke. KuKristu, ukuphila nokuzalwa kwakhe kulungisa indlela yokuza kwakhe kwesibili. Lapho ebuya futhi, ‘Uyozesula zonke izinyembezi zabo, futhi ukufa ngeke kusaba khona, nokudabuka nokukhala nobuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona. Ngoba umhlaba wokuqala nazo zonke izinhlekelele zawo awusekho phakade.” ( IsAmbulo 2 Kor1,4)

KuloKhisimusi, hlakanipha njengezazi zaseMpumalanga futhi uvule iBhayibheli lakho futhi uthole umlayezo oguqulayo wesipho sikaNkulunkulu kuwe. Yamukela lesi sipho, Jesu, ngoKhisimusi! Ungakwazi nokunikeza lo magazini njengesipho sikaKhisimusi futhi ungase ube isipho esibaluleke kakhulu owake wasipha sona. Ngakho umamukeli angakwazi ukwazi uJesu Kristu, ngoba ingcebo enkulu kunazo zonke ikulesi sikhwama!
