Umuntu [isintu]
UNkulunkulu wadala umuntu, owesilisa nowesifazane, ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wabusisa umuntu futhi wamyala ukuba ande futhi agcwalise umhlaba. Ngothando, iNkosi yanika umuntu amandla okuba ngabaphathi bomhlaba nokuphatha izidalwa zawo. Endabeni yendalo, umuntu ungumqhele wendalo; umuntu wokuqala u-Adamu. Efanekiselwa u-Adamu owona, isintu siphila ngokuhlubuka kuMdali waso futhi ngalokho saletha isono nokufa emhlabeni. Nokho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi unesono kangakanani, umuntu uhlala esemfanekisweni kaNkulunkulu futhi uchazwa yiso. Ngakho-ke, bonke abantu ngokuhlanganyela futhi ngabanye bafanelwe uthando, inhlonipho nenhlonipho. Umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ophelele phakade uwubuntu beNkosi uJesu Kristu, "u-Adamu wokugcina." NgoJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu udala isintu esisha isono nokufa okungasenamandla kuso. KuKristu ukufana komuntu noNkulunkulu kuyopheleliswa. (1. mose 1,26-28; ihubo 8,4-9; AmaRoma 5,12-21; AbaseKolose 1,15; 2. AbaseKorinte 5,17; 3,18; 1. AbaseKorinte 15,21-22; AmaRoma 8,29; 1. AbaseKorinte 15,47-ishumi nesithupha; 1. UJohannes 3,2)
uyini umuntu?
Lapho sibheka phezulu esibhakabhakeni, lapho sibona inyanga nezinkanyezi, futhi sibona ubukhulu bendawo yonke namandla amakhulu atholakala enkanyezini ngayinye, singazibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu esikhathalela kwasekuqaleni. Sincane kakhulu, silinganiselwe - njengezintuthwane ezigijimayo ziye ngapha nangapha ngaphakathi kwenqwaba. Kungani kufanele sikholwe ukuthi ubheke lesi siduli, esibizwa ngomhlaba, futhi kungani kufanele futhi afune ukukhathazeka ngayo yonke intuthwane eyodwa?
Isayensi yanamuhla yandisa ukuqaphela kwethu ukuthi indawo yonke inkulu kangakanani nokuthi inkanyezi ngayinye inkulu kangakanani. Ngokwesayensi yezinkanyezi, abantu ababalulekile kunama-athomu ambalwa anyakazayo - kodwa ngabantu ababuza umbuzo wencazelo. Ngabantu abathuthukisa isayensi yezinkanyezi abahlola indawo yonke ngaphandle kokushiya ikhaya. Ngabantu abaphendula indawo yonke ibe yisitebhisi semibuzo engokomoya. Ibuyela ehubo 8,4-7:
“Lapho ngibona izulu, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga nezinkanyezi ozilungisileyo, uyini umuntu ukuba umkhumbule, nomntwana womuntu ukuba umnake? Wamenza waba mncinyane kunoNkulunkulu, wamthwesa umqhele wodumo nodumo. Wamenza inkosi phezu komsebenzi wezandla zakho; konke wakubeka phansi kwezinyawo zakhe.”
Njengezilwane
Uyini-ke umuntu? Kungani uNkulunkulu emkhathalela? Abantu ngandlela thile banjengoNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, kodwa bangaphansi, kepha bathweswe umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo nguNkulunkulu uqobo. Abantu bayindida, imfihlakalo - egcwele ububi, kepha bakholelwa ukuthi kufanele baziphathe kahle. Yonakaliswe ngamandla, kepha inamandla ngaphezu kwezinye izidalwa eziphilayo. Kuze kube manje ngaphansi kukaNkulunkulu, kepha nokho ubizwa ngokuthi uyahlonishwa uNkulunkulu uqobo.
uyini umuntu? Ososayensi basibiza ngoHomo sapiens, ilungu lombuso wezilwane. Imibhalo engcwele isibiza ngo-nephesh, igama elisetshenziselwa nezilwane. Sinomoya kithina, njengoba nje nezilwane zinomoya kuzo. Siluthuli futhi lapho sifa sibuyela othulini njengezilwane nje. Ukwakheka komzimba wethu nokuma komzimba kufana nokwesilwane.
Kepha imibhalo ithi singaphezulu kakhulu kwezilwane. Abantu banesici esingokomoya - futhi isayensi ayikwazi ukusitshela ngale ngxenye yokuphila engokomoya. Ngisho nefilosofi; asikwazi ukuthola izimpendulo ezinokwethenjelwa ngoba nje sicabanga ngazo. Cha, le ngxenye yobukhona bethu kufanele ichazwe ngokwambulwa. UMdali wethu kufanele asitshele ukuthi singobani, yini okufanele siyenze, nokuthi kungani enendaba nathi. Izimpendulo sizithola emiBhalweni.
1. UMose 1 usitshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala zonke izinto: ukukhanya nobumnyama, izwe nolwandle, ilanga, inyanga nezinkanyezi. AbeZizwe babekhonza lezi zinto njengonkulunkulu, kodwa uNkulunkulu weqiniso unamandla kangangokuthi wayengazenza zibe khona ngokumane akhulume izwi. Ulawulwa nguye ngokuphelele. Ukuthi wakudala ngezinsuku eziyisithupha noma eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha akusondele nakakhulu njengeqiniso lokuthi wakwenza. Wakhuluma, kwaba khona, futhi kwaba kuhle.
Njengengxenye yayo yonke indalo, uNkulunkulu wadala abantu futhi 1. UMose usitshela ukuthi sadalwa ngosuku olulodwa nezilwane. Ukufanekiswa kwalokhu kubonakala kusikisela ukuthi sifana nezilwane ngandlela thize. Singabona okuningi ngathi.
Umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu
Kodwa ukudalwa kwabantu akuchazwa ngendlela efanayo nayo yonke enye into. Ayikho into ebizwa ngokuthi “Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi... kwaba njalo.” Kunalokho siyafunda: “Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi: Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu ababusayo...” (1. mose 1,26). Ubani lo "wethu"? Umbhalo awukuchazi lokhu, kodwa kusobala ukuthi abantu bayindalo ekhethekile, eyenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Siyini lesi "sithombe"? Futhi, umbhalo awukuchazi lokhu, kodwa kusobala ukuthi abantu bakhethekile.
Kuye kwaphakanyiswa imibono eminingi ngokuthi uyini lo “mfanekiso kaNkulunkulu”. Abanye bathi kuwukuhlakanipha, amandla okucabanga okuhluzekile, noma ulimi. Abanye bathi kuyimvelo yethu yomphakathi, ikhono lethu lokuba nobudlelwane noNkulunkulu, nokuthi owesilisa nowesifazane babonisa ubudlelwano phakathi kobunkulunkulu. Abanye bathi kuwukuziphatha, ikhono lokwenza izinqumo ezinhle noma ezimbi. Abanye bathi umfanekiso uwukubusa kwethu phezu komhlaba nezidalwa zawo, nokuthi singabameleli bakaNkulunkulu kubo. Kodwa ukubusa ngokwakho kungokwaphezulu kuphela lapho kusetshenziswa ngendlela yokuziphatha.
Lokho umfundi akuqondayo ngale nguqulo kuvulekile, kodwa kubonakala sengathi abantu bafana noNkulunkulu ngendlela ethile. Kunencazelo engaphezu kweyemvelo kulokho esiyikho, futhi incazelo yethu ayikona ukuthi sifana nezilwane kodwa sifana noNkulunkulu. 1. UMose akasitsheli okuningi. Sizizwela ku 1. mose 9,6ukuthi wonke umuntu wenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ngisho nangemva kokuba isintu sesona, ngakho-ke ukubulala angeke kubekezelelwe.
ITestamente Elidala alisakhulumi “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu,” kodwa iTestamente Elisha linikeza incazelo eyengeziwe yalokhu kubizwa. Lapho sifunda ukuthi uJesu Kristu, umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ophelele, usembulela uNkulunkulu ngothando lwakhe lokuzidela. Kufanele senziwe ngomfanekiso kaKristu, futhi ngokwenza lokho sifinyelela amandla aphelele uNkulunkulu ayehlose ukuba sibe nawo lapho esidala ngomfanekiso wakhe. Lapho sivumela uJesu Kristu ukuba aphile kithi, kulapho sisondelana nenjongo kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yethu.
Ake sibuyele emuva 1. UMose, ngoba le ncwadi isitshela okwengeziwe ngokuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ebakhathalela kangaka abantu. Ngemva kokuthi, “Masenze,” wenza: “Futhi uNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; futhi wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane” (1. mose 1,27).
Qaphela lapha ukuthi abesifazane nabesilisa ngokufanayo badalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; banamakhono afanayo angokomoya. Ngokufanayo, izindima zomphakathi azikuguquli ukubaluleka komuntu ngokomoya - umuntu onobuhlakani obuphakeme akabalulekanga ngaphezu kongqondongqondo ophansi, futhi nombusi akabalulekile kunenceku. Sonke sadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu futhi safana naye, futhi bonke abantu bafanelwe uthando, udumo nokuhlonishwa.
1. UMose ube esesitshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wababusisa abantu futhi wathi kubo: “Zalani nande nigcwalise umhlaba niwunqobe nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle nezinyoni zezulu nezinkomo naphezu kwakho konke okuphilayo. ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni” ( ivesi 28 ). Umyalo kaNkulunkulu uyisibusiso, okuyilokho ebesingakulindela kuNkulunkulu onomusa. Ngothando, wanika abantu umthwalo wemfanelo wokubusa umhlaba nezidalwa eziphila kuwo. Abantu babengabaphathi bakhe, benakekela impahla kaNkulunkulu.
Izazi zemvelo zanamuhla kwesinye isikhathi zisola ubuKristu ngokuthi bumelene nemvelo. Ingabe leli gunya “lokubusa” umhlaba “nokubusa” phezu kwezilwane linikeza abantu imvume yokucekela phansi imvelo? Abantu kufanele basebenzise amandla abawanikwe nguNkulunkulu ukuze bakhonze, hhayi ukubhubhisa. Kufanele basebenzise ukubusa ngendlela uNkulunkulu enza ngayo.
Iqiniso lokuthi abanye abantu bayawasebenzisa kabi la mandla nombhalo akulishintshi iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna sisebenzise indalo kahle. Uma seqa okuthile kule akhawunti, sifunda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayala u-Adamu ukuthi alime futhi agcine insimu. Ubengazidla izitshalo, kepha akufanele asebenzise futhi abhubhise insimu.
Impilo engadini
1. UGenesise 1 uphetha ngokuthi konke "kwakukuhle kakhulu." Isintu sasingumqhele, itshe eliyinhloko lendalo. Kwakuyiyona ndlela kanye uNkulunkulu ayefuna kube ngayo - kodwa noma ubani ophila emhlabeni wangempela uyabona ukuthi kukhona okungalungile manje ngesintu. konakelephi 1. UMose 2–3 uyachaza ukuthi indalo ephelele ekuqaleni yonakaliswa kanjani. Amanye amaKristu athatha lokhu kulandisa ngendlela engokoqobo. Noma ngabe yikuphi, umlayezo wenkolo uyafana.
1. UMose usitshela ukuthi abantu bokuqala babizwa ngokuthi u-Adamu (1. mose 5,2), igama lesiHeberu elivamile elisho “umuntu”. Igama elithi Eva liyafana nelesiHeberu elisho “ophilayo/ophilayo”: “U-Adamu waqamba umkakhe ngokuthi u-Eva; ngokuba waba ngunina wabo bonke abaphilayo.” Ngolimi lwanamuhla amagama u-Adamu no-Eva asho “umuntu” kanye “nonina wawo wonke umuntu”. yini akuyo 1. Ukwenza uMose 3 - ukona - yilokho okwenziwa yisintu sonke. Umlando ubonisa ukuthi kungani isintu sisesimweni esikude kakhulu nokuphelela. Isintu sihlanganiswe u-Adamu no-Eva - isintu siphila ngokuhlubuka kuMdali waso, yingakho isono nokufa kuyisici sayo yonke imiphakathi yabantu.
Qaphela indlela 1. UGenesise 2 ubeka isiteji: insimu ekahle, eniselwa ngasemfuleni endaweni ethile lapho ingasekho khona. Umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu uyashintsha usuka ekubeni umkhuzi wendawo yonke uye ekubeni ngumuntu ocishe abe ngokoqobo ohamba ensimini, atshale izihlahla, alolonge umuntu aphume emhlabeni, afuthe umoya wakhe emakhaleni akhe ukuze aphile. U-Adamu wanikwa okungaphezu kwezilwane futhi waba umuntu ophilayo, umnephe. UJehova, uNkulunkulu ongokoqobo, “wamthatha umuntu, wambeka ensimini yase-Edene ukuba ayilime, ayigcine” (ivesi 15). Wanikeza u-Adamu iziqondiso zensimu, wamcela ukuba aziqambe zonke izilwane, wabe esedalela owesifazane ukuba abe umngane ka-Adamu ongumuntu. Nalapha, uNkulunkulu wayehileleke mathupha futhi esebenza ngokomzimba ekudaleni owesifazane.
U-Eva “wayengumsizi” ka-Adamu, kodwa lelo gama alisho ukuthi uphansi. Igama lesiHeberu lisetshenziswa izikhathi eziningi kuNkulunkulu ngokwakhe, ongumsizi wabantu esidingweni. U-Eva wayengadalelwanga ukwenza umsebenzi u-Adamu ayengafuni ukuwenza—u-Eva wayedalelwe ukuba enze into u-Adamu ayengenakuyenza ngokwakhe. Lapho u-Adamu embona, waqaphela ukuthi ngokuyisisekelo wayefana naye, umngane aphiwe uNkulunkulu ( ivesi 23 ).
Umbhali uphetha iSahluko 2 ngokubhekisela ekulinganeni: “Ngakho-ke indoda iyoshiya uyise nonina inamathele kumkayo, futhi bayoba nyamanye. Babenqunu bobabili, indoda nomkakhe, bengenamahloni” (amavesi 24-25). Yileyondlela uNkulunkulu ayefuna kube ngayo, indlela okwakuyiyo ngaphambi kokuba isono singene endaweni. Ucansi lwaluyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, hhayi into yokuba namahloni.
Kukhona into engahambanga kahle
Kodwa manje inyoka ingena esiteji. U-Eva walingeka ukuba enze okuthile uNkulunkulu ayekwenqabele. Wamenywa ukuba alandele imizwa yakhe, azijabulise, kunokuba athembele isiqondiso sikaNkulunkulu. “Owesifazane wabona ukuthi umuthi wawulungele ukudliwa, nokuthi wawubukeka kahle emehlweni, futhi ubukeka kahle, ngoba wawuhlakaniphisa. Wathatha isithelo, wadla, wanika umyeni wakhe owayenaye, naye wadla.1. mose 3,6).
Yini eyafika enqondweni ka-Adamu? 1. UMose akanikezi lutho ngalokhu. Iphuzu lendaba ku 1. UMose uthi bonke abantu benza okwenziwa u-Adamu no-Eva - silishaya indiva iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi senza esikuthandayo, sibeka izaba. Singamsola udeveli uma sithanda, kodwa isono sisengaphakathi kithi. Sifuna ukuhlakanipha, kodwa siyiziwula. Sifuna ukufana noNkulunkulu, kodwa asikakulungeli ukuba yilokho asitshela ukuba sibe yikho.
Umuthi wawumelelani? Umbhalo awusitsheli okunye ngaphandle kokuthi "ulwazi lokuhle nokubi." Ingabe imele isipiliyoni? Ingabe umele ukuhlakanipha? Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi imelelani, iphuzu eliyinhloko libonakala sengathi yayinqatshelwe, kodwa idliwe kuyo. Abantu bonile, bahlubuka kuMdali wabo futhi bakhetha ukuhamba ngendlela yabo. Ayengasafaneleki engadini, engasafaneleki ‘emthini wokuphila.
Umphumela wokuqala wesono sabo kwaba wukuguquka kwesimo sabo - baba nomuzwa wokuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle ngobunqunu babo (v. 7). Ngemuva kokwenza amafaskoti ngamaqabunga omkhiwane, besaba ukubonwa uNkulunkulu (v. 10). Futhi benza izaba ezivilaphayo.
UNkulunkulu wachaza imiphumela: U-Eva wayeyozala abantwana, okwakuyingxenye yesu lokuqala, kodwa manje usezinhlungwini ezinkulu. U-Adamu wayezolima insimu, eyayiyingxenye yesu lokuqala, kodwa manje ngobunzima obukhulu. Futhi babeyokufa. Eqinisweni, base befile kakade, “Ngokuba ngosuku oyodla ngalo kuwo uyakufa nokufa.”1. mose 2,17). Ukuphila kwabo ebunyeni noNkulunkulu kwase kuphelile. Okwakusele kwakuwukuphila okungokwenyama, okungaphansi kakhulu kwalokho uNkulunkulu ayekuhlosile. Nokho lalikhona ithuba ngabo ngoba uNkulunkulu wayesenezinhlelo Zakhe ngabo.
Kwakuzoba nempi phakathi kowesifazane nendoda. “Futhi isifiso sakho siyakuba sendodeni yakho, kepha yona iyoba inkosi yakho” (1. mose 3,16). Abantu abazithathela izindaba zabo ezandleni zabo (njengoba kwenza u-Adamu no-Eva) esikhundleni sokulandela imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu kungenzeka ukuthi baxabane, futhi amandla anonya avame ukubusa. Unjalo umphakathi emva kokuba isono singene kanye.
Ngakho-ke kwabekwa isigaba: inkinga abantu ababhekene nayo ngeyabo, hhayi eyikaNkulunkulu, yiphutha. Ubanikeze isiqalo esihle, kepha basicuphile, futhi kusukela lapho bonke abantu bangenwe yisono. Kepha ngaphandle kokuba nesono komuntu, isintu sisesemfanekisweni kaNkulunkulu - sishayiwe futhi sinamazinyo, singasho, kepha sisengumfanekiso ofanayo oyisisekelo.
Lamandla avela kuNkulunkulu asachaza ukuthi abantu bangobani futhi lokhu kusiletha emazwini eHubo 8. UMkhuzi Wendawo Yonke usabakhathalela abantu ngoba wabenza bafana naye kancane futhi wabanika igunya indalo yakhe—igunya abasenalo namanje. Kusenodumo, kusenenkazimulo, noma ngabe singaphansi kwesikhashana kunohlelo lukaNkulunkulu ngathi. Uma umbono wethu muhle ngokwanele ukuba usibone lesi sithombe, kufanele uholele ekudunyisweni: “Nkosi Mbusi wethu, yeka ukuthi likhazimula kangakanani igama lakho emhlabeni wonke.” ( IHubo. 8,1. 9). Akadunyiswe uNkulunkulu ngokuba necebo ngathi.
UKristu, isithombe esiphelele
UJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu enyameni, ungumfanekiso ophelele kaNkulunkulu (Kolose 1,15). Wayengumuntu ngokugcwele, futhi usibonisa ngokuqondile lokho umuntu okufanele abe yikho: ukulalela ngokuphelele, ukwethemba ngokuphelele. U-Adamu wayengumfanekiso kaJesu Kristu (KwabaseRoma 5,14), futhi uJesu ubizwa ngokuthi “u-Adamu wokugcina” (1. AbaseKorinte 15,45).
“Kuye kwakukhona ukuphila, futhi ukuphila kwakuwukukhanya kwabantu.” ( Joh 1,4). UJesu wabuyisela ukuphila okwalahleka ngenxa yesono. Ungukuvuka nokuphila (Joh 11,25).
Lokho u-Adamu akwenzela isintu senyama, uJesu Kristu uyakwenza ukuze kulungiswe izinto ezingokomoya. Uyisiqalo sesintu esisha, indalo entsha (2. AbaseKorinte 5,17). kuye bonke bayovuselwa ekuphileni (1. AbaseKorinte 15,22). Sizalwa ngokusha. Siqala futhi, kulokhu ngonyawo lwesokudla. NgoJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu udala isintu esisha. Isono nokufa akunamandla phezu kwalesi sidalwa esisha (KwabaseRoma 8,2; 1. AbaseKorinte 15,24-26). Ukunqoba kwanqotshwa; isilingo saliwa.
UJesu nguye esimethembayo futhi uyisibonelo okufanele sisilandele (Roma 8,29-35); siguqulwa sibe ngumfanekiso wakhe (2. AbaseKorinte 3,18), umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Ngokukholwa kuKristu, ngomsebenzi Wakhe ezimpilweni zethu, ukungapheleli kwethu kuyasuswa futhi sisondezwa kulokho okufanele sibe yintando kaNkulunkulu (Kwabase-Efesu 4,13. 24). Sisuka kwenye inkazimulo siye kwenye - enkazimulweni enkulu kakhulu!
Yebo, asikawuboni umfanekiso ngobukhazikhazi bawo, kodwa siyaqinisekiswa ukuthi siyowubona. “Futhi njengoba sasinomfanekiso wowomhlaba [u-Adamu], kanjalo siyoba nomfanekiso wowasezulwini” [uKristu]1. AbaseKorinte 15,49). Imizimba yethu evusiwe iyofana nomzimba kaJesu Kristu: ekhazimulayo, enamandla, engokomoya, esezulwini, engenakonakala, engenakufa (v. 42-44).
UJohane wakubeka ngalendlela: “Bathandekayo, kakade singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; kodwa akukabonakali esizakuba yikho. Kepha siyazi ukuthi lapho sekwambulwa, siyakuba njengaso; ngoba sizambona njengoba enjalo. Futhi wonke umuntu onethemba elinjalo kuye uyazihlanza, njengoba nje yena ehlanzekile.1. UJohannes 3,2-3). Asikakuboni kodwa siyazi ukuthi kuzokwenzeka ngoba singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu futhi nguye ozokwenza kwenzeke. Siyobona uKristu enkazimulweni yakhe, futhi lokho kusho ukuthi nathi siyoba nenkazimulo efanayo, ukuze sikwazi ukubona inkazimulo engokomoya.
Khona-ke uJohane unezela lokhu kukhulumela komuntu siqu: “Futhi wonke umuntu onethemba elinjalo kuye uyazihlanza, njengoba nje naye ehlanzekile.” Njengoba siyoba njengaye ngaleso sikhathi, masizame ukufana naye manje.
Ngakho-ke umuntu ungumuntu osemazingeni amaningana: ngokwenyama nangokomoya. Ngisho nomuntu wemvelo wenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Akunandaba ukuthi umuntu ona kangakanani, isithombe sisekhona futhi umuntu unenani elikhulu. UNkulunkulu unenhloso necebo elibandakanya sonke isoni.
Ngokukholelwa kuKristu, isoni silingisa isidalwa esisha, u-Adamu wesibili, uJesu Kristu. Kulesi sikhathi singokwenyama njengoba uJesu ayenjalo phakathi nenkonzo yakhe yasemhlabeni, kodwa siguqulwa sibe umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongokomoya. Lokhu kuguquka kukamoya kusho ukuguquka kwesimo sengqondo nokuziphatha okwenziwa ngoba uKristu uphila kithi futhi siphila ngokukholwa kuye (KwabaseGalathiya 2,20).
Uma sikuKristu, siyowuthwala ngokuphelele umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ovukweni. Izingqondo zethu azikwazi ukuqonda ngokugcwele ukuthi lokho kuyoba njani, futhi asazi kahle-hle ukuthi “umzimba womoya” uyoba yini, kodwa siyazi ukuthi kuyoba kuhle kakhulu. UNkulunkulu wethu onomusa nothando uyosibusisa ngakho konke esingakujabulela futhi siyomdumisa phakade!
Yini oyibonayo lapho ubheka abanye abantu? Ngabe uyawubona umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, amandla obukhulu, isithombe sikaKristu esakhiwayo? Uyabubona ubuhle becebo likaNkulunkulu liyasebenza ekunikezeni umusa ezonweni? Ngabe ujabulile ukuthi Uhlenga uhlanga lwesintu oluye lwaphambuka endleleni elungile? Uyayithokozela inkazimulo yecebo elihle likaNkulunkulu? Ingabe unamehlo okubona? Lokhu kumangalisa kakhulu kunezinkanyezi. Ikhazimula kakhulu kunendalo ekhazimulayo. Unikeze izwi lakhe futhi kunjalo, futhi kuhle kakhulu.
