Lapho siqonda ukuthi siyaphila, siyaluka futhi sikuKristu, kuLowo owadala zonke izinto futhi wahlenga zonke izinto futhi osithandayo ngokungenamibandela (Izenzo 1)2,32; AbaseKolose 1,19-20; UJohane 3,16-17), singabeka eceleni konke ukwesaba nokukhathazeka ngokuthi "lapho sikhona noNkulunkulu" futhi siqale ukuphumula ngempela ekuqinisekeni kothando Lwakhe namandla aqondisayo ekuphileni kwethu. Ivangeli liyizindaba ezinhle, futhi eqinisweni liyizindaba ezinhle hhayi kwabambalwa kuphela kodwa kubo bonke abantu, njengoba sikhona 1. UJohannes 2,2 ukufunda.
Kuyadabukisa kodwa kuyiqiniso ukuthi amaKristu amaningi akholwayo asaba ukwahlulelwa kokugcina. Mhlawumbe nawe. Ngemuva kwakho konke, sonke siyazi, uma sithembekile kithi uqobo, ukuthi kunezindlela eziningi lapho sihluleka khona ukulunga okuphelele kukaNkulunkulu. Kepha into ebaluleke kakhulu okufanele uyikhumbule ngesahlulelo ukuthi ijaji lingubani. Umahluleli owengamele ekwahlulelweni kokugcina akekho omunye ngaphandle kukaJesu Kristu, uMsindisi wethu!
Njengoba wazi, incwadi yesAmbulo inokuningi ekushoyo ngeSahlulelo Sokugcina, futhi okunye kungase kuzwakale kuthusa lapho sicabanga ngezono zethu. Kodwa isAmbulo sinokuningi esingakusho ngejaji. Umbiza ngokuthi Lowo osithandayo nosisindisayo ezonweni zethu ngegazi lakhe. UJesu ungumahluleli othanda izoni azehlulela kakhulu aze azifele, ezikhulumela zona kanye nazo! Ngaphezu kwalokho, wabavusela kwabafileyo futhi wabangenisa ekuphileni nasebukhoneni bukaBaba obathanda kakhulu njengoba kwenza uJesu. Lokhu kusenza sikhululeke futhi sijabule. Njengoba uJesu ngokwakhe engumahluleli, asikho isizathu sokuba sesabe ukwahlulela.
UNkulunkulu uthanda izoni, kuhlanganise nawe, kangangokuthi uBaba wathumela iNdodana ukuba izomela abantu futhi idonsele bonke abantu, kuhlanganise nawe, kuye.2,32) ngokuguqula izingqondo nezinhliziyo zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele. UNkulunkulu akazami ukuthola izinto ezingalungile kuwe ukuze ungangeni embusweni Wakhe. Cha, ufuna ngeqiniso embusweni wakhe futhi akasoze ayeka ukukudonsela ngaleyo ndlela.
Phawula indlela uJesu akuchaza ngayo ukuphila okuphakade kulesi siqephu sevangeli likaJohane: “Manje lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade, ukuba bazi wena wedwa onguNkulunkulu weqiniso, nalowo omthumileyo, uJesu Kristu” (Johane 17,3). Akunzima noma akunzima ukwazi uJesu. Asikho isenzo sesandla esiyimfihlo esingachaza noma izindida ezizoxazululwa. UJesu wamane wathi: “Zanini kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo, mina ngizakuniphumuza.” ( Mathewu. 11,28).
Kuyindaba nje yokuphendukela kuYe. Wenze noma yini edingekayo ukuze akwenze ufaneleke. Usekuthethelele zonke izono zakho. Njengoba umphostoli uPawulu abhala: “Kepha uNkulunkulu ubonakalisa ukusithanda kwakhe ngalokhu ukuthi, siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela.” 5,8). UNkulunkulu akalindi kuze kube yilapho sesilunge ngokwanele ukuba asithethelele futhi asenze sibe ngabantwana Bakhe - usevele enzile.
Lapho siphendukela kuNkulunkulu futhi sibeka ithemba lethu kuJesu Kristu, singena empilweni entsha. UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kithina bese eqala ukususa ungqimba lwesono sethu - imikhuba enesono, izimo zengqondo, nezingqondo zethu - usiguqulela ngaphakathi sibe umfanekiso kaKristu.
Lokhu kungaba buhlungu kwesinye isikhathi, kepha kuyakhulula futhi kuyaqabula. Ngalokhu siyakhula ekukholweni futhi simazi futhi simthande kakhulu uMsindisi wethu. Futhi lapho sazi kakhulu ngoMsindisi wethu, onguMahluleli wethu futhi, kulapho sisesaba kakhulu ukwahlulelwa. Lapho sazi uJesu, siyamethemba uJesu futhi singaphumula ngokuqiniseka okuphelele ekusindisweni kwethu. Akukona ukuthi silunge kangakanani; lelo kwakungeyona neze iphuzu. Bekulokhu kumayelana nokuthi muhle kangakanani. Yizindaba ezimnandi lezo - izindaba ezihamba phambili umuntu angazizwa!
