Singumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu
Unyaka omusha uyaqala kuleli zwe elinezinkathazo njengoba siqhubeka nohambo lwethu olumangalisayo siqhubeka sijula embusweni kaNkulunkulu! Njengoba uPawulu abhala, uNkulunkulu usesenze kakade izakhamuzi zombuso wakhe lapho “esikhulula emandleni obumnyama futhi wasibeka embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo, esinokuhlengwa kuyo, okuwukuthethelelwa kwezono.” ( Kolose 1,13-enye).
Njengoba ubuzwe bethu busezulwini (Fil. 3,20), sinesibopho sokukhonza uNkulunkulu, sibe izandla nezingalo zakhe emhlabeni, ngokuthanda umakhelwane wethu njengoba sizithanda thina.” Ngoba singabakaKristu, hhayi abethu noma izwe elisizungezile, akufanele sibe ngabakaKristu. ububi buyanqotshwa, kodwa bunqobe ububi ngokuhle (Rom. 12,21). UNkulunkulu unesicelo sokuqala phezu kwethu, futhi isisekelo salokho ukusho ukuthi ngokuzithandela nangomusa wabuyisana futhi wasihlenga sisesebugqileni obungenathemba besono.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wayizwa indaba yomuntu owafa, wabe esevuka futhi wazithola emi phambi kukaJesu, phambi kwesango elikhulu legolide elinophawu oluthi, "Umbuso weZulu." UJesu wathi, “Udinga amaphuzu ayisigidi ukuze ufike ezulwini. Ngitshele zonke izinto ezinhle ozenzile, esingabe sesizifaka kuzo ku-akhawunti yakho - futhi uma sifinyelela amaphuzu ayisigidi, ngizovula isango ngikungenise."
Indoda yathi, “Awu, ake sibone. Ngangishade nowesifazane ofanayo iminyaka engu-50 futhi angikaze ngimqhathe noma ngiqambe amanga kuye.” UJesu wathi: “Kuyamangalisa lokho. Uthola amaphuzu amathathu ngalokho.” Indoda yathi, “Amaphuzu amathathu kuphela? Kuthiwani ngokuya kwami esontweni okuphelele kanye nokweshumi okuphelele? Futhi kuthiwani ngayo yonke iminikelo yami yokupha kanye nenkonzo? Ngitholani ngakho konke lokhu? UJesu wabheka ebhodini lakhe lamaphuzu wayesethi, “Lawo amaphuzu angama-28. Lokho kukufikisa kumaphuzu angama-31. Udinga kuphela ezinye ezingu-999.969. yini enye oyenzile Yatatazela indoda. "Yilokho okungcono kakhulu enginakho," ebubula, futhi kubiza amaphuzu angama-31 kuphela! angisoze ngaphumelela!” Waguqa ngamadolo wakhala wathi: “Nkosi, ngihawukele!” “Sekwenzekile!” kusho uJesu. “Isigidi samaphuzu. Ngena!"
Lena indaba emnandi eveza iqiniso elimangalisayo nelimangalisayo. NjengoPawulu kwabaseKolose 1,12 wabhala, nguNkulunkulu “osifanelekele njengefa labangcwele ekukhanyeni. Siyindalo kaNkulunkulu uqobo, sabuyisana futhi sihlengiwe ngoKristu ngoba nje uNkulunkulu uyasithanda! Omunye wemibhalo engiyithanda kakhulu eyabase-Efesu 2,1-10. Qaphela amagama abhalwe ngokugqamile:
“Nani nani nanifile ngeziphambeko nezono zenu... Sonke sake saphila phakathi kwabo ezinkanukweni zenyama yethu futhi senza intando yenyama nezinzwa, futhi sasingabantwana bolaka ngokwemvelo njengabanye. Kepha uNkulunkulu ocebile ngesihawu, othandweni lwakhe olukhulu asithanda ngalo, nathi usiphilise kanye noKristu enafa ngesono, ngomusa nisindisiwe; wasivusa kanye naye, wasimisa ezulwini kuKristu Jesu, ukuze ezikhathini ezizayo abonakalise ingcebo enkulu yomusa wakhe ngobubele bakhe kithina kuKristu Jesu. Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, nalokhu akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu, akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo. Ngokuba thina singumsebenzi wakhe, sidalelwe kuKristu Jesu imisebenzi emihle, ayilungisela ngaphambili uNkulunkulu ukuba sihambe kuyo.”
Yini engase ikhuthaze? Ukusindiswa kwethu akuncikile kithi - kuncike kuNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yokuthi usithanda kakhulu, wenze kuKristu noma yini edingekayo ukuze aqinisekise lokho. Siyindalo yakhe entsha (2 Kor. 5,17; Gal. 6,15). Singenza imisebenzi emihle ngoba uNkulunkulu usikhululile emaketangeni esono futhi wazibiza ngezakhe. Siyilokhu uNkulunkulu asenze saba yikho, futhi uyasiyala ukuthi kufanele sibe yilokho esiyikho—indalo entsha asenze saba yiyo kuKristu.
Yeka ithemba elimangalisayo nomuzwa wokuthula esingakulethela onyakeni omusha, ngisho naphakathi kwezikhathi zezinkathazo neziyingozi! Ikusasa lethu likuKristu!
