UJesu uyindlela

Lapho ngiqala ukulandela indlela kaKristu, abangane bami abazange bajabule ngayo. Bagomela ngokuthi zonke izinkolo ziholela kuNkulunkulu oyedwa futhi bathatha izibonelo zabaqwali bezintaba abakhetha izindlela ezihlukahlukene futhi abasafinyelela esiqongweni sentaba. UJesu ngokwakhe wathi iyodwa kuphela indlela: “Lapho ngiya khona niyayazi indlela. UTomase wathi kuye: “Nkosi, asazi lapho uya khona; singayazi kanjani indlela? UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; Akekho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze ngami” (Johane 14,4-enye).

Abangane bami babeqinisile lapho bethi kunezinkolo eziningi, kodwa uma kuziwa ekufuneni uNkulunkulu oyedwa weqiniso, onamandla onke, inye kuphela indlela. Encwadini eya kumaHeberu sifunda ngendlela entsha nephilayo yokungena endlini engcwele: “Ngokuba manje, bazalwane, ngegazi likaJesu sinesibindi sokungena endaweni engcwele asivulele yona entsha nephilayo. wadabula iveli, okungukuthi, ngomhlatshelo womzimba wakhe.” (Hebheru 10,19-enye).

IZwi likaNkulunkulu lembula ukuthi kunendlela engalungile: “Indlela eyodwa ibonakala ilungile kwabanye; kodwa ekugcineni umyisa ekufeni” ( IzAga 14,12). UNkulunkulu usitshela ukuthi silahle izindlela zethu: “Ngokuba imicabango yami ayisiyo imicabango yenu, nezindlela zenu azisizo izindlela zami, usho uJehova, kepha njengokuba izulu liphakeme kunomhlaba, kanjalo izindlela zami ziphakeme kunezindlela zenu, nemicabango yami imicabango yakho” (Isaya 55,8-enye).

Ekuqaleni ngangingabuqondi kangako ubuKristu ngoba abalandeli babo abaningi ababonisi indlela yokuphila kaKristu. Umphostoli uPawulu wachaza ukuba ngumKristu njengendlela: “Kepha ngiyavuma lokhu kini, ukuthi ngendlela abathi iyihlelo, ngiyamkhonza uNkulunkulu wawobaba ngokukholwa yikho konke okulotshiweyo emthethweni nakubaprofethi. » (Izenzo 24,14).

UPawulu wayesendleleni eya eDamaseku eyobopha ngamaketanga labo ababelandela leyo ndlela. Amatafula aphenduka ngoba “uSawulu” waphuphuthekiswa uJesu endleleni futhi walahlekelwa ukubona. Lapho uPawulu egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, kwawa amaxolo emehlweni akhe. Wabuye wabona futhi waqala ukushumayela ngendlela ayezonda ngayo, ebonisa ukuthi uJesu unguMesiya. “Masinyane washumayela emasinagogeni ngoJesu, ukuthi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu” (IzE. 9,20). Ngakho-ke amaJuda aceba ukumbulala, kodwa uNkulunkulu wamsindisa.

Iyini imiphumela yokuhamba endleleni kaKristu? UPetru usinxusa ukuba silandele ezinyathelweni zikaJesu futhi sifunde kuye ukuba sibe mnene futhi sithobeke: “Uma nihlupheka futhi nikhuthazela ngoba nenza okuhle, lokhu kungumusa kuNkulunkulu. Ngokuba nabizelwa lokho, ngokuba uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yenu, wanishiyela isibonelo, ukuze nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe.” ( 1 Petru 2,20-enye).

Bonga uNkulunkulu uBaba ngokukukhombisa indlela yensindiso ngoJesu Kristu, ngoba uJesu ukuphela kwendlela, methembe!
