Iphasi lokugibela lombuso kaNkulunkulu

Ibhodi lezaziso esikhumulweni sezindiza lifundeka kanje: Sicela uprinte ipasi lakho lokugibela, ngaphandle kwalokho uzohlawuliswa noma ungase wenqatshelwe ukugibela. Lesi sixwayiso sangethusa kakhulu. Ngangilokhu ngifinyelela i-boarding pass yami ephrintiwe emthwalweni wami wesandla ukuze ngiqiniseke ukuthi isekhona!

Ngiyamangala ukuthi uhambo lokungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu kufanele lube lukhuni kangakanani. Ingabe kudingeka silungise imithwalo yethu ukuze icacise imininingwane futhi sinikeze amaphepha afanele? Ingabe kuzoba khona umabhalane oqaphile ozimisele ukususa igama lami ohlwini lwendiza uma ngingafinyeleli zonke izidingo?

Iqiniso liwukuthi, akudingeki sikhathazeke ngoba uJesu wasilungiselela yonke into: “Makabongwe uNkulunkulu, uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu! Ngomusa wakhe omkhulu wasinika impilo entsha. Sizalwa ngokusha ngoba uJesu Kristu wavuka kwabafileyo, futhi manje sigcwele ithemba eliphilayo. Kuyithemba lefa laphakade, elingonakalisiwe isono futhi elingenakonakala, uNkulunkulu alibekele lona embusweni Wakhe.”1. UPetrus 1,3-4 Ithemba Labantu Bonke).

Umkhosi wamaKrestu wePhentekoste usikhumbuza ngekusasa lethu elikhazimulayo kuKristu embusweni Wakhe. Asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka. UJesu wasenzela konke. Wenza indawo futhi wakhokha inani lakho. Usinika isiqinisekiso futhi usilungiselela ukuba naye kuze kube phakade.
Abafundi bokuqala be 1. UPetru wayephila ezikhathini ezingaqinisekile. Ukuphila kwakungalungile futhi kwezinye izindawo kwakunoshushiso. Kodwa amakholwa ayeqiniseka ngento eyodwa: “Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, uNkulunkulu uyonivikela ngamandla akhe ngoba nithembele kuye. Futhi ngakho ekugcineni uthola insindiso yakhe, eyobonakala kubo bonke ekupheleni kwesikhathi. "1. UPetrus 1,5 Ithemba labo bonke).

Sifunda ngensindiso yethu ezobonakala ekupheleni kwesikhathi! UNkulunkulu usigcina kuze kube yileso sikhathi ngamandla akhe. Ukwethembeka kukaJesu kukhulu kangangokuthi usigcinele indawo embusweni kaNkulunkulu: «Ekhaya likaBaba kukhona izindlu eziningi. Ukuba bekungenjalo, bengizakuthi kini: Ngiya ukulilungisela indawo? (Johane 14,2).

Encwadini eya kumaHeberu, ngokwenguqulo yeBhayibheli ethi Ithemba Labantu Bonke, kuboniswe ukuthi sibhalisiwe ezulwini, okungukuthi, embusweni kaNkulunkulu. “Nina niphakathi kwabantwana bakhe ababusisile ngokukhethekileyo nabamagama abo alotshiwe ezulwini. Uphephele kuNkulunkulu ozakwahlulela abantu bonke. Nina nisonta ebandleni elikhulu njengazo zonke lezi zibonelo zokukholwa asebefinyelele umgomo wabo futhi bavunyelwe nguNkulunkulu.” ( KumaHebheru 1 Kor.2,23 Ithemba labo bonke).
Ngemva kokuba uJesu enyukele ezulwini, uJesu noNkulunkulu uBaba bathumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba ahlale kithi. UMoya oNgcwele akagcini nje ngokuqhubekisela phambili umsebenzi wombuso kaKristu onamandla kithi, kodwa futhi “uyisiqiniseko sefa lethu”: “Oyisibambiso sefa lethu ukuze sihlengwe, ukuze sibe ngabakhe, kube udumo. ngenkazimulo yakhe.” ( Efesu 1,14).
Ungase ukhumbule ingoma ethi "Sentimental Journey" kaDoris Day, Ringo Starr nabanye abaculi. Yebo, ikusasa lethu noNkulunkulu lingaphezu kochungechunge lwezinkumbulo namathemba anethemba: “Lokho iso elingakubonanga, nendlebe engakuzwanga, nenhliziyo yomuntu ayikucabangi lokho uNkulunkulu akulungisele abamthandayo” ( NW )1. AbaseKorinte 2,9).

Noma ngabe uzizwa kanjani ohambweni lwakho olubheke embusweni kaNkulunkulu, ungavumeli izinkulumo ezingqubuzanayo zikudide futhi ube novalo njengoba nganginjalo. Qiniseka, ukubhukha kwakho kuphephile ephaketheni lakho. Njengezingane, ungajabula ngokulangazelela okukhulu kokuthi usemkhunjini kuKristu.
