Ukuzinikela: umthandazo wokuphila ngenyaniso
UYesu waphendula wathi: “Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi; Akukho namnye uzayo kuBawo engezi ngam ”. --Yohane 14: 6
Phila ngenyaniso yakho. Kuvakala kulula, kulula kwaye kukhulula. Kwenzeka ntoni xa inyani ekhethwe ngumntu yahlulwe kwinyaniso enye esiyifumene kuKristu? Le ndlela yokufuna nokuphila iqala ngokuzingca kungena kwiintliziyo zethu kwaye kungekudala iqala ukopha ngendlela esilubona ngayo ukholo lwethu.
Oku kubambe ingqalelo yam kwi-2019, xa ibinzana live inyani yakho yayisiya isaziwa kakhulu kwinkcubeko yaseMelika. Ithatha ukuba kusemthethweni ukuhlala kuyo nayiphi na indlela "yenyani" okholelwa kuyo. Kodwa ngoku sibona "iinyaniso" zabantu abaphila ebomini babo, kwaye akusoloko kumnandi. Kum, andiboni kuphela abangakholwayo besiba lixhoba loku, kodwa abalandeli bakaKristu nabo bawela kuyo. Akukho namnye kuthi ukhuselekile ekukholelweni ukuba unokuba nenyaniso eyahlukileyo kuKristu.
Ndikhunjuzwa ngobomi bokubhadula kwamaSirayeli kunye nebali likaSamson. Omabini la mabali abonisa ukungamthobeli uThixo ngenxa yokuphila "ngenyaniso" eyayenziwe ngesono kunye ezintliziyweni zabo. Ama-Israyeli abonisa elubala ukuba abamthembanga uThixo, baqhubekile nokuzama ukuthatha izinto ezandleni zabo kwaye babeka inyani yabo ngaphezu kwento efunwa nguThixo. Abazange batyeshele ilungiselelo likaThixo kuphela, kodwa babengafuni ukuphila ngaphakathi kwemida yemithetho yakhe.
Emva koko sinoSamson, ezaliswe bubulumko bukaThixo, otshintshe esi sipho ukuze abeke phambili ngakumbi kwiminqweno yakhe yenyama. Wayilahla inyaniso ubomi bakhe bonke eyaphela ishiya engenanto. Wayeleqa inyani eyayibonakala ilungile, iziva ilungile, kwaye ngandlela thile… ijongeka intle. Kude kube kulungile-kwaye ke uyazi ukuba ayikaze ilunge. Wayehlukene noThixo, enqwenelwa sisithuthi, kwaye wayegcwele ziziphumo ezazingafunwa nguThixo. Yile nto yinyaniso ebubuxoki nekratshi ngaphandle kukaThixo.
Uluntu lwethu alufani ngoku. Ukudlala ngothando nokuthatha inxaxheba esonweni, ukhetha ukungathobeli, ukuphila ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo "zobuxoki", ulindele ukuba ungaze ujongane neziphumo. Eyoyikisayo, akunjalo? Into esifuna ukubalekela kuyo, akunjalo? Dumisa uThixo, sinokukhetha ukungathathi nxaxheba kule ndlela yokuphila. Ngobabalo lukaThixo, sinesipho sokuqonda, ubulumko kunye nokucaca. Mna nawe sibiziwe, siyalelwa kwaye sikhokelwa ukuba siphile ngenyaniso yakhe kwilizwe elisingqongileyo. UYesu wathi kuYohane 14: 6 "Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi." Kwaye yena. Inyaniso yakhe yinyaniso yethu, isiphelo sebali. Ke ngoko, bazalwana noodadewethu kuKristu, ndiyathandaza ukuba nibe kunye nam ekuthatheni umnqamlezo wethu kwaye niphile inyani yenyaniso kaYesu Krestu kweli lizwe limnyama nelimnyama.

Nkosi Yesu,
Sincede sibone inyani yakho njengekuphela kwenyaniso. Xa inyama yethu iqala ukukhukuliseka, Thixo, sitsale umva ngokusikhumbuza ukuba ungubani kwaye usibizele ukuba sibe ngubani. Yesu, sikhumbuze yonke imihla ukuba uyindlela, uyinyaniso kwaye ububomi. Ngobabalo lwakho, sihlala ngokukhululekileyo kule nto uyiyo, kwaye singasoloko siyibhiyozela kwaye sincede abantu bakulandele.
Egameni likaYesu, Amen
