Inhliziyo Yethu - Incwadi Evela KuKristu

Ugcine nini ukuthola incwadi ngeposi? Esikhathini samanje sama-imeyili, i-Twitter kanye ne-Facebook, iningi lethu lithola izinhlamvu ezimbalwa nezimbalwa kunakuqala. Kodwa esikhathini esingaphambi kokushintshaniswa kwemiyalezo nge-elekthronikhi, cishe yonke into yenziwa ngencwadi ebangeni elide. Kwakuyinto elula futhi namanje; ishidi, ipeni ozobhala ngalo, imvilophi kanye nesitembu, yilokho kuphela okudingayo.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngesikhathi somphostoli uPawulu, ukubhala izincwadi kwakungelula neze. Ukubhala kwakudinga i-papyrus, eyayibiza futhi ingatholakali kubantu abaningi. Ngenxa yokuthi i-papyrus ihlala isikhathi eside, ngisho nalapho igcinwa yomile, ihle kakhulu ekubhaleni izinhlamvu nemibhalo ebalulekile.

Abavubukuli bebelokhu behlunga izintaba zemfucumfucu yasendulo equkethe amakhulukhulu emibhalo ye-papyrus; eziningi zalotshwa eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule, ngakho-ke zifika ngesikhathi somphostoli uPawulu nabanye ababhali beTestamente Elisha. Phakathi kwazo kwakunezincwadi eziningi eziyimfihlo. Indlela yokubhala kulezi zincwadi ifana ncamashi naleyo eyasetshenziswa uPawulu emibhalweni yakhe. Izincwadi zangaleso sikhathi zaziqala ngokubingelela, kulandele umthandazo wempilo yomamukeli bese kuba ukubonga konkulunkulu. Bese kulandelwa okuqukethwe kwangempela kwencwadi nemiyalezo nemiyalelo. Yaphetha ngokubingelela nokubingelela komuntu ngamunye.

Uma ubheka izincwadi zikaPawulu, uzolithola leli phethini. Yini ebalulekile lapha? UPawulu wayengahlosile ukuthi izincwadi zakhe zibe izincwadi zemfundiso yenkolo noma izincwadi zezazi. UPawulu wabhala izincwadi njengoba kwakuvamile phakathi kwabangane bakhe. Iningi lezincwadi zakhe lalikhuluma ngezinkinga eziphuthumayo emiphakathini eyamukelayo. Futhi wayengenalo ihhovisi elihle, elithule noma isifundo lapho ayengahlala khona esihlalweni azindle ngawo wonke amagama ukuze alungise yonke into. Lapho uPawulu ezwa ngesimo esibucayi ebandleni, wabhala noma wabiza incwadi ukuze alungise le nkinga. Akazange acabange ngathi noma ngezinkinga zethu njengoba ebhala, kodwa wabhekana nezinkinga ezisheshayo nemibuzo yabamukeli bezincwadi zakhe. Akazange azame ukungena emlandweni njengombhali omkhulu wemfundiso yenkolo. Konke ayekukhathalela kwakuwukusiza abantu ayebathanda futhi ebanakekela. Akuzange kufike kuPawulu ukuthi ngelinye ilanga abantu bazobheka izincwadi zakhe njengemibhalo engcwele. Nokho uNkulunkulu wathatha lezi zincwadi ezingabantu zikaPawulu futhi wazilondoloza ukuze zisetshenziswe njengemiyalezo kumaKristu yonke indawo, futhi manje kithi, ukubhekana nezidingo kanye nezinkinga ezifanayo eziye zehlela iBandla amakhulu eminyaka.

Uyabona, uNkulunkulu wathatha izincwadi ezivamile zobufundisi futhi wazisebenzisa ngendlela emangalisayo ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle zevangeli ebandleni kanye nasemhlabeni. "Niyincwadi yethu, ebhalwe ezinhliziyweni zethu, eyaziwa futhi efundwa yibo bonke abantu! Sekubonakala ukuthi niyincwadi kaKristu ngenkonzo yethu, ilotshiwe kungengoyinki kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, kungabi ezibhebheni zamatshe kodwa ezibhebheni zenyama yenhliziyo.”2. AbaseKorinte 3,2-3). Ngokunjalo, uNkulunkulu angasebenzisa ngokumangalisayo abantu abajwayelekile njengami nawe ukuba babe ubufakazi obuphilayo beNkosi, uMsindisi noMhlengi wabo ngamandla kaKristu kanye noMoya oNgcwele.
