Isigijimi somqhele wameva
INkosi yamakhosi yafika kubantu bayo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, endaweni yayo, kodwa abantu bayo abazange bamamukele. Ushiya umqhele wakhe wobukhosi noYise ukuze athathe umqhele wameva wabantu: “Amasosha eluka umqhele wameva, amthwesa wona ekhanda, amembathisa ingubo ebubende, eza kuye, athi. , Sawubona, Nkosi yamaJuda! Futhi bamshaya ebusweni” (Johane 19,2-3). UJesu uvumela usulu, ethweswe umqhele wameva futhi abethelwe esiphambanweni.
Ingabe siyayikhumbula insimu yase-Edene? U-Adamu no-Eva balahlekelwa umqhele wesintu sangempela epharadesi. Bawashintsha ngani? Ngameva! UNkulunkulu wathi ku-Adamu: “Umhlaba uyoqalekiswa! Impilo yakho yonke uzozikhandla ukuze uzondle ngesivuno sawo. Uthembele kuyo ngokudla, kodwa iyohlala igcwele ameva namakhakhasi. (Genesise 3,17-18 Ithemba Labantu Bonke).
“Ameva awalona uphawu lwesono, kodwa luwuphawu lwemiphumela yesono. Ameva asemhlabeni awumphumela wesono ezinhliziyweni zethu,” kubhala uMax Lucado encwadini: “Ngoba ubalulekile kuye. Leli qiniso lisobala emazwini kaNkulunkulu kuMose. Wacela ama-Israyeli ukuba asuse abantu ababi ezweni: “Kepha uma ningaxoshi abakhileyo ezweni phambi kwenu, labo enibashiya ngemuva bayakuba ngameva emehlweni enu, ameva ezinhlangothini zenu anicindezele ezweni. umhlaba lapho uhlala khona" (4. UMose 33,55).
Ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, lokhu kusho: ukuxosha izakhamuzi ezingamesabi uNkulunkulu zezwe lesithembiso ngaleso sikhathi kufana nokuqeda isono ekuphileni kwazo. Kula mazwi siyabona ukuthi uma siyekethisa nesono ezimpilweni zethu, zizosisinda njengameva emehlweni ethu nameva ezinhlangothini zethu. Emfanekisweni womhlwanyeli, ameva ahlotshaniswa nezinkathazo zaleli zwe nokukhohlisa kwengcebo: “Ezinye izinto zawela phakathi kwameva; ameva akhula ayiminyanisa” (Mathewu 1).3,7.22).
UJesu wafanisa ukuphila kwabantu ababi nameva; lapho ekhuluma ngabaprofethi bamanga, wathi: “Niyakubazi ngezithelo zabo. Umuntu angakha amagilebhisi emeveni noma amakhiwane emakhakhasini na? (Mathewu 7,16). Izithelo zesono zinameva ahlabayo, acijile, noma abukhali.
Lapho ungena futhi uhlanganyele ehlahleni elinameva lesintu esinesono, uzwa ameva: ukuzidla, ukuhlubuka, amanga, ukunyundela, ukuhaha, intukuthelo, inzondo, ukuxabana, ukwesaba, ihlazo - futhi lokhu akuwona neze wonke ameva nameva zingumthwalo futhi zibhubhisa ukuphila. Isono siwudosi olunobuthi. Inkokhelo yesono ingukufa (KwabaseRoma 6,23 I-New Life Bible). Kwakungenxa yaleliva elijulile okwadingeka ukuba uJesu ongenacala afe esikhundleni sethu. Noma ubani owamukela ngokwakhe uthando lukaNkulunkulu nentethelelo yakhe uyophinde athweswe umqhele: “Ohlenga ukuphila kwakho ekubhujisweni, okuthwesa umqhele womusa nesihe” (IHubo 10)3,4).
Umphostoli uPawulu ubhala ngomunye umqhele esiyowuthola: “Ngigcinile ukholo; Kusukela manje kubekelwe umqhele wokulunga, ezonginika wona ngalolo suku iNkosi, uMahluleli olungileyo, kungeyimi ngedwa, kodwa nakubo bonke abathanda ukubonakala kwayo.”2. UThimothi 4,8). Yeka umbono omangalisayo osilindele! Asikwazi ukuzuza umqhele wokuphila. Inikezwa labo abangabakaNkulunkulu nabamlalelayo: «Ubusisiwe okhuthazela ekulingweni; Ngoba ngemva kokuvunyelwa kwakhe, uyakwamukela umqhele wokuphila, uNkulunkulu awuthembisa labo abamthandayo.” (Jakobe 1,12).
Kungani uJesu ashintsha umqhele wakhe waphezulu futhi wathwala umqhele wameva? UJesu wembethe umqhele wameva ukuze akunike umqhele wokuphila. Ingxenye yakho ukukholwa nguJesu, ukumethemba, ukulwa ukulwa okuhle, ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nabantu futhi uhlale uthembekile kuye. Wenzela wena umhlatshelo wokuhlengwa, wena mathupha!
