Isidingo esikhulu sesintu
“Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu, uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu... Kuye kwakukhona ukuphila, nokuphila kwakungukukhanya kubantu. Ukukhanya kukhanya ebumnyameni, futhi ubumnyama abukwamukelanga.” Johane 1:1-4 (Zurich Bible)
Oqokelwe isikhundla esithile sehhovisi lezepolitiki e-USA wacela inkampani yezokukhangisa ukuthi imklamele iphosta. Umklami wezokukhangisa wambuza ukuthi yiziphi izici zakhe angathanda ukuzigcizelela.
"Okuvamile nje," kuphendula okhethiwe, "ukuhlakanipha okuphezulu, ukwethembeka okuphelele, ubuqotho obuphelele, ukwethembeka okuphelele, futhi-ke, ukuthobeka."
Njengoba imithombo yezindaba ikuyo yonke indawo kulezi zinsuku, singalindela ukuthi kuzombusazwe ngamunye, noma ngabe muhle kangakanani, onke amaphutha, konke ukungahambi kahle, zonke izitatimende ezingacacile noma ukuhlolwa kuzokwaziwa esidlangalaleni kungekudala. Bonke abazongenela ukhetho, noma ngabe bephalamende noma umphakathi wendawo, babhekene nokoma kwabezindaba lokuzwa imizwa.
Vele, abazobhapathizwa banomuzwa wokuthi kufanele babeke isithombe sabo ekukhanyeni okuhle kakhulu, ngaphandle kwalokho abantu bebengeke babathembe nganoma iyiphi indlela. Ngaphandle komehluko naphezu kwamandla nobuthakathaka bomuntu siqu, bonke abangenele ukhetho bangabantu ababuthaka. Masivume, bangathanda ukuxazulula izinkinga ezinkulu zesizwe sethu nezomhlaba, kepha abanamandla noma izindlela zokwenza lokho. Bangenza konke okusemandleni abo ukugcina izinto ziphansi kolawulo ngesikhathi sabo.
Izinkinga nobuthakathaka bomphakathi wesintu zisaqhubeka. Unya, ubudlova, ukuhaha, ukuyenga, ukungabi nabulungisa nezinye izono kuyasibonisa ukuthi kunohlangothi olumnyama esintwini. Eqinisweni, lobu bumnyama buvela ekuhlukaniseni noNkulunkulu osithandayo. Inhlekelele enkulu kunazo zonke abantu okumelwe bayikhuthazelele futhi iyimbangela yazo zonke ezinye izifo zabantu. Phakathi kwalobu bumnyama, isidingo esisodwa sikhula ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye—isidingo sikaJesu Kristu. Ivangeli liyizindaba ezinhle zikaJesu Kristu. Usitshela ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni. “Mina ngiwukukhanya kwezwe,” kusho uJesu. “Ongilandelayo kasoze ahamba ebumnyameni, kodwa uyoba nokukhanya kokuphila.” ( Johane 8:12 ) UJesu Kristu ubuyisela ubuhlobo noYise futhi kanjalo ushintsha isintu ngaphakathi.
Lapho abantu bebeka ithemba labo kuye, ukukhanya kuqala ukukhanya futhi konke kuqala ukushintsha. Lesi isiqalo sempilo yeqiniso, ukuhlala ngenjabulo nangokuthula ngokuhlangana noNkulunkulu.
Umkhuleko:
Baba waseZulwini, ungukukhanya futhi abukho nakancane ubumnyama kuwe. Sifuna ukukhanya kwakho kukho konke esikwenzayo futhi sikucela ukuthi ukukhanya kwakho kukhanyise impilo yethu ukuze ubumnyama buhle kithi, njengoba sihamba nawe ekukhanyeni. Sikhuleka leli gama likaJesu, amen
