Ubuyena bethu bangempela

Namuhla kuvame ukuvela ukuthi kufanele uzenzele igama ukuze ube nenjongo futhi ubalulekile kwabanye nakuwe. Kubonakala sengathi abantu basethubeni elinganeliseki lokuthola ukuthi bangobani nenjongo. Kodwa uJesu wayesevele wathi: “Noma ubani othola ukuphila kwakhe uyolahlekelwa yikho; futhi noma ubani olahlekelwa ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami uyokuthola” ( Mathewu 10:39 ). Njengebandla, sifundile kuleli qiniso. Kusukela ngo-2009 sizibiza ngokuthi singuGrace Communion International futhi leli gama libhekisela kubuntu bethu bangempela, obusekelwe kuJesu hhayi kithi. Ake sibhekisise leli gama futhi sithole ukuthi lifihlani.

Umusa

Umusa igama lokuqala egameni lethu ngoba lichaza kahle uhambo lwethu ngabanye nolweqoqo kuNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu ngoMoya oNgcwele. “Kodwa siyakholwa ukuthi ngomusa weNkosi uJesu Kristu siyakusindiswa, njengalokhu nabo” (IzEnzo 15:11). “Silungisiswa ngaphandle kwemfanelo ngomusa wakhe ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu” (KwabaseRoma 3:24). Ngomusa kuphela uNkulunkulu (ngoKristu) usivumela ukuba sihlanganyele ekulungeni kwakhe. IBhayibheli lisifundisa ngokungaguquki ukuthi umlayezo wokholo ungumyalezo womusa kaNkulunkulu (bona iZenzo 14:3; 20:24; 20:32).

Isisekelo sobudlelwano bukaNkulunkulu nomuntu besilokhu singesomusa neqiniso. Ngenkathi umthetho wawungukubonakaliswa kwala magugu, umusa kaNkulunkulu uqobo wathola ukugcwala okugcwele ngoJesu Kristu. Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, sisindiswa ngoJesu Kristu kuphela, hhayi ngokugcina umthetho. Umthetho okulahlwa ngawo wonke umuntu akusilo izwi lokugcina likaNkulunkulu kithi. Izwi lakhe lokugcina kithi nguJesu. Uyisambulo esiphelele futhi uqobo somusa kaNkulunkulu neqiniso elinikezwe ngokukhululekile esintwini.
Ukulahlwa kwethu ngaphansi komthetho kulungile futhi kulungile. Asikutholi ukuziphatha okusemthethweni kithina, ngoba uNkulunkulu akasona isiboshwa semithetho nezomthetho wakhe. UNkulunkulu kithi usebenza ngokukhululeka ngokwaphezulu ngokwentando yakhe.

Intando Yakhe ichazwa ngomusa nokuhlengwa. Umphostoli uPawulu uyabhala: “Angiwulahli umusa kaNkulunkulu; ngokuba uma ukulunga kungomthetho, uKristu wafela ize” (KwabaseGalathiya 2:21). UPawulu uchaza umusa kaNkulunkulu njengowukuphela kwendlela angafuni ukuyilahla. Umusa awuyona into okumelwe ikalwe futhi ikalwe futhi ixoxwe ngayo. Umusa uwubuhle obuphilayo bukaNkulunkulu, alandela ngabo futhi aguqule inhliziyo nengqondo yomuntu.

Encwadini yakhe ayibhalela ibandla laseRoma, uPawulu ubhala ukuthi okuwukuphela kwento esizama ukuyifinyelela ngokuzikhandla kwethu inkokhelo yesono, ukufa ngokwako, izindaba ezimbi lezo. Kodwa kukhona okuhle kakhulu, ngoba “isipho sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu” (KwabaseRoma 6:24). UJesu ungumusa kaNkulunkulu. Uyinsindiso kaNkulunkulu enikelwe ngesihle kubo bonke abantu.

Isidlo

Ukubambisana yigama lesibili egameni lethu ngoba singena ebudlelwaneni beqiniso noBaba ngeNdodana ngokuhlanganyela noMoya oNgcwele. KuKristu sinobudlelwano bangempela noNkulunkulu kanye nomunye nomunye. UJames Torrance ukubeka ngale ndlela: "UNkulunkulu oziqu-zintathu udala ukuhlangana ngendlela yokuthi singabantu bangempela kuphela lapho sesithole ubunikazi bethu ekuhlanganyeleni naye nabanye abantu." 

UYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele basesidlweni esiphelele futhi uJesu wathandazela ukuthi abafundi bakhe babelane nalobu budlelwane futhi babubonakalise emhlabeni (Johane 14:20; 17:23). Umphostoli uJohane uchaza lo mphakathi njengonezimpande ezijulile othandweni. UJohane uchaza lolu thando olujulile njengenhlanganyelo yaphakade noYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele. Ubudlelwane beqiniso busho ukuphila ekuhlanganyeleni noKristu othandweni lukaBaba ngoMoya oNgcwele (1. Johane 4:8).

Ngokuvamile kuthiwa ukuba umKristu kuwubuhlobo bomuntu siqu noJesu. IBhayibheli lisebenzisa izifaniso eziningana ukuze lichaze lobu buhlobo. Omunye ukhuluma ngobudlelwane benkosi nesigqila sayo. Ngokusuka kulokhu, kufanele sidumise futhi silandele iNkosi yethu, uJesu Kristu. UJesu waqhubeka wathi kubalandeli bakhe: “Angisasho ukuthi niyizinceku; ngoba inceku ayikwazi ukuthi inkosi yayo yenzani. Kodwa nginitshelile ukuthi ningabahlobo; ngokuba konke engakuzwa kuBaba nginazisile khona” ( Johane 15:15 ). Esinye isithombe sikhuluma ngobudlelwane bukababa nabantwana bakhe (Johane 1:12-13). Ngisho nomfanekiso womkhwenyana nomakoti wakhe, owatholakala eTestamenteni Elidala, usetshenziswa uJesu ( Mathewu 9:15 ) futhi uPawulu ubhala ngobudlelwane phakathi kwendoda nomkayo ( Kwabase-Efesu 5 ). Incwadi eya kumaHeberu ize ithi thina njengamaKristu singabafowabo nodadewabo bakaJesu (KumaHeberu 2:11). Zonke lezi zithombe (isigqila, umngane, ingane, umlingani, udadewethu, umfowethu) ziqukethe umqondo womphakathi ojulile, omuhle, womuntu siqu. Kodwa zonke lezi yizithombe nje. UNkulunkulu wethu onguMthathu Emnye ungumthombo neqiniso lalobu budlelwano nomphakathi. Kuyinhlanganyelo ahlanganyela nathi ngomusa wakhe.

UJesu wathandazela ukuthi sibe naye kuze kube phakade futhi sijabulele lokho kulunga (Johane 17:24). Kulomkhuleko usimeme ukuba sihlale njengengxenye yomphakathi komunye nomunye kanye noBaba. Ngenkathi uJesu enyukela ezulwini, wasithatha thina, abangani bakhe, saya ebudlelwaneni noBaba noMoya oNgcwele. UPawulu uthi ngoMoya oNgcwele kunendlela esihlala ngayo eduze kukaKristu futhi sisebusweni bukaYise (kwabase-Efesu 2: 6). Singakubona vele lobu budlelwano noNkulunkulu manje, noma ukugcwala kwalobu budlelwano kuzobonakala kuphela lapho uKristu efika futhi futhi emisa ukubusa kwakhe. Kungakho umphakathi uyingxenye ebalulekile yomphakathi wethu wezenkolo. Ubuyena, manje naphakade, busungulwa kuKristu futhi esidlweni uNkulunkulu ahlanganyela nathi njengoYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele.
