Umkhathi owandayo

Lapho u-Albert Einstein eshicilela umbono wakhe jikelele wokuhlobana ngo-1916, washintsha umhlaba wesayensi unomphela. Enye yezinto ezidabukisa kakhulu azitholile iphathelene nokwanda okuqhubekayo kwendawo yonke. Leli qiniso elimangalisayo alisikhumbuzi nje kuphela ukuthi indawo yonke inkulu kangakanani, kodwa nangalokho umhubi akusho: “UJehova unesihe, unomusa, uyabekezela, uchichima umusa. Ngeke ahlale ephikisana futhi ngeke ahlale ethukuthele unomphela. Akenzanga kithi njengokwezono zethu, akasibuyiselanga njengokwamacala ethu. Ngokuba njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba, unjalo umusa wakhe kwabamesabayo; njengokuba impumalanga ikude nentshonalanga, uzisusile kithi iziphambeko zethu” (IHubo 10).3,8-11 Butcher Bible).

Yebo, ungokoqobo ngendlela emangalisayo umusa kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yomhlatshelo weNdodana yakhe yodwa, iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. Inkulumo yomhubi ethi: “Njengokuba impumalanga iqhele entshonalanga” iqhumisa ngamabomu umcabango wethu wobukhulu obudlula ngisho nendawo yonke ebonakalayo. Isibonakude sikaJames Webb siletha izithombe zokuqala. I-NASA yethule isithombe se-infrared esibukhali futhi esijulile somkhathi kuze kube manje, sivula imibono emisha ngomlando womkhathi wethu.

Ngakho-ke, akekho ongacabanga ngezinga lensindiso yethu kuKristu, ikakhulukazi uma ubheka ukuthi konke kuhlanganisani. Izono zethu ziyasehlukanisa noNkulunkulu. Kodwa ukufa kukaKristu esiphambanweni kwashintsha yonke into. Igebe phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nathi livaliwe. KuKristu, uNkulunkulu wabuyisana nezwe. Siyamenywa ekuhlanganyeleni Kwakhe njengomndeni, ebudlelwaneni obuphelele noNkulunkulu oZiqu-zintathu kuze kube phakade. Usithumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba asisize sisondele kuye futhi sibeke izimpilo zethu ngaphansi kokunakekela Kwakhe ukuze sifane noKristu.

Ngokuzayo lapho ubheka esibhakabhakeni ebusuku, khumbula ukuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu wedlula zonke izilinganiso zendawo yonke nokuthi ngisho namabanga amakhulu esiwaziyo mafushane uma kuqhathaniswa nezinga lothando Lwakhe ngathi.
