Ingabe uzizwa unecala?
Kukhona abaholi abangamaKrestu abazama njalo ukwenza abantu bazizwe benecala ukuze basebenze kanzima ukuguqula abanye. Abefundisi bamatasa bakhuthaza amasonto abo ukuthi enze imisebenzi emihle. Kuwumsebenzi onzima futhi awukwazi ukusola abefundisi uma kwesinye isikhathi belingeka ukuthi basebenzise izimpikiswano ezenza abantu bazizwe benecala ukuze babashukumise. Kepha kunezindlela ezimbi kakhulu kunezinye, futhi enye yezindlela ezimbi kunazo zonke umbono ongekho ngokombhalo wokuthi abantu basesihogweni ngoba wena kubo bonke abantu awuzange ubashumayeze ivangeli ngaphambi kokuba bafe. Kungenzeka wazi othile ozizwa kabi futhi enecala ngokunganaki ukwabelana ngevangeli nomuntu osedlulile emhlabeni. Mhlawumbe uzizwa ngendlela efanayo.
Ngikhumbula umholi wentsha engumKristu womngane wesikole owabelana neqembu lentsha indaba ebuhlungu yokuhlangana nendoda eyazizwa inesifiso esinamandla sokuhlanganyela ivangeli nayo kodwa yangalenza. Kamuva wathola ukuthi le ndoda yashayiswa yimoto ngalo lolo suku yashona. “Le ndoda isesihogweni manje ihlushwa ubuhlungu obungachazeki,” etshela iqembu. Khona-ke, ngemva kokuhlaba ikhefu okumangalisayo, wanezela, “futhi yimina onesibopho sakho konke lokhu!”. Wabatshela ukuthi ngenxa yalokho wayehlushwa amaphupho amabi futhi ekhala embhedeni wakhe ngenxa yeqiniso elinyantisayo lokwehluleka kwakhe, okwenza lowo muntu ompofu akhuthazelele uvivinyo lwesihogo somlilo phakade.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi bayazi futhi bafundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wathumela uJesu ukuba alisindise, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi babonakala bekholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthumela abantu esihogweni ngoba siyehluleka ukushumayela ivangeli kubo. Yilokhu okubizwa ngokuthi "i-cognitive dissonance" - lapho izinkolelo ezimbili eziphikisanayo zikholelwa ngesikhathi esisodwa. Abanye babo bakholelwa ngenjabulo emandleni nothando lukaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo benza sengathi izandla zikaNkulunkulu ziboshelwe ukusindisa abantu uma sihluleka ukufinyelela kubo ngesikhathi. UJesu wathi kuJohane 6,40: “Ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaBaba, ukuba wonke obona iNdodana akholwe kuyo abe nokuphila okuphakade; futhi mina ngiyakumvusa ngosuku lokugcina.
Insindiso ngumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, futhi uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele bakwenza kahle impela. Kuyisibusiso ukuba yingxenye yomsebenzi omuhle. Kepha kufanele futhi sazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvame ukusebenza yize singeke sisebenze. Uma ukhathazwe unembeza onecala lokwehluleka ukushumayela ivangeli kumuntu ngaphambi kokuba afe, kungani ungadluliseli umthwalo kuJesu? UNkulunkulu akaxakile kakhulu. Akekho oshelela iminwe yakhe futhi akekho umuntu okufanele aye esihogweni ngenxa yakho. UNkulunkulu wethu muhle futhi unesihe futhi unamandla. Ungamethemba ukuthi uzoba khona kuwo wonke umuntu, hhayi wena kuphela, ngaleyo ndlela.
