Thola inkululeko yangempela

Akukaze kwenzeke emlandweni ukuthi amazwe aseNtshonalanga ajabulele ukuphila okuphakeme kangangokuthi abantu abaningi namuhla abakuthatha kalula. Siphila esikhathini lapho ubuchwepheshe buthuthuke ngendlela yokuthi ukusetshenziswa kwama-smartphone kusivumela ukuthi sihlale sixhumene nabathandekayo bethu ngisho sisohambeni lomhlaba. Singaba nokuxhumana okuqondile namalungu omndeni noma abangani nganoma yisiphi isikhathi sisebenzisa ifoni, i-imeyili, i-WhatsApp, i-Facebook noma izingcingo zevidiyo.

Cabanga nje ukuthi ubungazizwa kanjani uma zonke lezi ntuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe zithathwa kuwe futhi kufanele uhlale wedwa esitokisini esincane esincane ungaxhumani nezwe langaphandle? Kunjalo ngeziboshwa ezivalelwe ezitokisini. I-United States inalokho okubizwa ngokuthi amajele amakhulu, aklanyelwe ngokukhethekile izigebengu eziyingozi kakhulu, lapho iziboshwa zivalelwe zodwa ezitokisini. Bachitha amahora angu-23 esitokisini kanye nehora elilodwa lokuzivocavoca ngaphandle. Ngisho noma zingaphandle lezi ziboshwa zihambahamba sengathi zisekhejini elikhulu ukuze zikwazi ukuphefumula umoya ohlanzekile. Ungathini uma ufunda ukuthi isintu sisejele elinje futhi ingekho indlela yokuphuma?

Lokhu kuboshwa akukho emzimbeni wenyama kodwa kusengqondweni. Izingqondo zethu ziye zaboshwa futhi zenqatshelwa ukufinyelela olwazini nasebudlelwaneni noMdali weqiniso, uNkulunkulu. Naphezu kwazo zonke izinkolelo zethu, amasiko, amasiko kanye nolwazi lwezwe, sihlala siboshiwe. Ubuchwepheshe kungenzeka busiqhubekisela phambili ekuvalelweni sodwa. Asinayo indlela yokuzikhulula. Lokhu kuboshwa kusibangele ukuba sibhekane nesizungu esikhulu ngokomoya kanye nokucindezeleka naphezu kokuzibandakanya kwethu emphakathini. Singaphunyuka kuphela ejele lethu lapho othile evula izingidi zengqondo futhi asikhulule ekuthunjweni kwethu esonweni. Munye kuphela umuntu ophethe izihluthulelo zalezi zikhiye ezivimba indlela yethu eya enkululekweni - uJesu Kristu.

Ukuxhumana noJesu Kristu kuphela okungasivulela indlela yokuba sizibonele futhi sifeze injongo yethu ekuphileni. EVangelini likaLuka sifunda ngesikhathi lapho uJesu engena esinagogeni futhi wamemezela ukuthi isiprofetho sasendulo sikaMesiya ozayo sasigcwaliseka ngaye (Isaya 6)1,1-2). UJesu wamemezela ukuthi nguye othunyelwe ukuphulukisa abaphukile, ukukhulula izithunjwa, ukuvula amehlo ezimpumputhe ngokomoya, nokukhulula abacindezelwe kubacindezeli babo: “UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwami, ngokuba igcobile. Ngathumela ukushumayela ivangeli kwabampofu, nokumemezela ukukhululwa kwabathunjwa, nokubona kwabayizimpumputhe, nokukhulula abacindezelweyo, nokumemezela umnyaka womusa weNkosi.” 4,18-19). UJesu uthi ngaye: “Yena uyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila” (Johane 14,6).

Inkululeko yeqiniso ayiveli ingcebo, amandla, isikhundla nodumo. Inkululeko ifika lapho izingqondo zethu zivulekele injongo yangempela yokuphila kwethu. Lapho leli qiniso lembulwa futhi libonakala ekujuleni komphefumulo wethu, sinambitha inkululeko yeqiniso. Khona-ke uJesu wathi kumaJuda akholwe kuye: “Uma nimi ezwini lami, ningabafundi bami isibili, niyolazi iqiniso, futhi iqiniso liyonikhulula.” ( Joh. 8,31-enye).

Yini esikhululwa kuyo lapho sinambitha inkululeko yeqiniso? Sikhululiwe emiphumeleni yesono. Isono siholela ekufeni okuphakade. Ngesono siphinde sithwale umthwalo wecala. Isintu sibheka izindlela ezehlukene zokukhululeka esonweni esidala ukungabi nalutho ezinhliziyweni zethu. Noma ngabe ucebe kangakanani futhi unelungelo elingakanani, ubuze obusenhliziyweni yakho buhlala bukhona. Ukuya esontweni kwamasonto onke, ukuhambela izindawo ezingcwele, umsebenzi wokusiza abampofu, kanye nezinkonzo zomphakathi nokusekelwa kungase kunikeze ukukhululeka kwesikhashana, kodwa ukungabi nalutho kusekhona. Kuyigazi likaKristu elachitheka esiphambanweni, ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu, elisikhulula enkokhelweni yesono. “Kuye (uJesu) sinokuhlengwa ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngokwengcebo yomusa wakhe asiphe wona ngokuhlakanipha konke nokuqonda” (Kwabase-Efesu 1,7-enye).

Lona umusa owutholayo lapho wamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi, uMsindisi noMsindisi wakho. Zonke izono zakho zithethelelwe. Umthwalo nokungabi nalutho obukuthwele kuyanyamalala bese uqala impilo eguquliwe, eshintshile enokuxhumana okuqondile nokuseduze noMdali wakho noNkulunkulu. UJesu uyakuvulela umnyango wokuphuma ejele lakho likamoya. Umnyango wenkululeko yokuphila kwakho konke uvuliwe. Niyokhululwa ezifisweni zenu zobugovu ezikulethela usizi nokuhlupheka. Abaningi bayizigqila ezingokomzwelo zezifiso zobugovu. Lapho wamukela uJesu Kristu, kwenzeka uguquko enhliziyweni yakho olugxile ekubalulekeni kwakho ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu.

“Ngakho-ke maningavumeli isono sibuse emizimbeni yenu efayo, futhi ningazilaleli izinkanuko zayo. futhi anizinikeli izitho zenu esonweni njengezikhali zokungalungi, kodwa zinikeleni nina kuNkulunkulu njengabafile nabaphilayo, nezitho zenu kuNkulunkulu njengezikhali zokulunga. Ngokuba isono asiyikubusa phezu kwenu, ngokuba aniphansi komthetho, kodwa niphansi komusa.” ( Roma 6,12-enye).

Siqala ukuqonda ukuthi iyini impilo eyanelisayo lapho uNkulunkulu eba yisizinda sethu futhi umphefumulo wethu ulangazelela ukuba noJesu njengomngane nomngane oqhubekayo. Sithola ukuhlakanipha nokucaca okudlula umcabango womuntu. Siqala ukubheka izinto ngombono waphezulu ovuza ngokujulile. Indlela yokuphila iqala lapho singasezona izigqila zesifiso, ukuhaha, umona, inzondo, ukungcola kanye nokulutheka okuletha ukuhlupheka okungenakulinganiswa. Kukhona nokukhululwa ekucindezelekeni, ekwesabeni, ekukhathazekeni, ekungavikelekeni nasekukhohliseni.
Vumela uJesu avule iminyango yejele lakho namuhla. Wakhokha inani lokuhlengwa kwakho ngegazi lakhe. Woza ujabulele impilo evuselelwe kuJesu. Mamukele njengeNkosi, uMsindisi noMsindisi wakho futhi uthole inkululeko yeqiniso.
