Vulelwa izipho zoMoya
UYohane umbhaptizi wabona uYesu esiza kuye wathi, “Nantso iMvana kaThixo, ethwala isuse isono sehlabathi. Yile nto bendiyithetha ngayo: "Indoda iza emva kwam, ime phambi kwam, kuba yayikho ngaphambi kwam." UYohane 1: 29-30
Ingqondo uYohane uMbhaptizi awayenayo malunga noYesu iyakhuthaza, iyamangalisa kwaye iyamangalisa. Ubona uYesu esiza kuye kwaye kwangoko uqinisekisa iinyaniso ezintathu ezityhiliweyo ngoYesu: 1) UYesu yiMvana kaThixo; 2) UYesu ubeka phambi koYohane; 3) UYesu wayekho ngaphambi koYohane.
UJohn angayazi njani yonke le nto? Yayivela phi le nkcazelo inzulu kangaka ngoYesu? Kungenzeka ukuba uYohane wayezifundile iZibhalo zelo xesha kwaye wayezazazi iinkcazo ezininzi malunga noMesiya ozayo owenziwa ngabaprofeti bakudala. Wayeza kwazi iiNdumiso kunye neencwadi zoBulumko. Kodwa, kuqala kwento yonke, uYohane wayeza kuyazi into awayeyazi kwisipho sokholo. Ngewayenolwazi lwenene lwasemoyeni alunikwa nguThixo.
Le nyani ayivezi kuphela ubukhulu bukaYohane kunye nobunzulu bokholo lwakhe, kodwa ikwabonisa imeko ekufanele ukuba siyilwele ebomini. Kufuneka sizabalazele ukuhamba yonke imihla ngokuqonda okuyinyaniso kokomoya esikunikwe nguThixo.
Akuninzi kangako ukuba kufuneka siphile, imihla ngemihla, ngendlela ebonakalayo, yesiprofeto neyimfihlakalo. Ayikuko ukuba silindele ukuba nolwazi oluphezulu kunabanye. Kodwa kufuneka sivuleleke kwizipho zoMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze sifumane ulwazi kunye nokuqonda ngobomi obungaphaya kwento umntu anokuyifumana ngemizamo yakhe.
Ngokucacileyo uJohn wayegcwele ubulumko, ukuqonda, ingcebiso, ulwazi, ukomelela, ukuhlonipha nokumangaliswa. Ezi zipho zoMoya zamnika amandla okuphila ubomi obuzinzileyo ngobabalo lukaThixo.UJohn wayezazi izinto kwaye eziqonda izinto ezinokutyhilwa nguThixo kuphela. Wayemthanda kwaye emhlonela u Yesu ngothando nokuzithoba kokuthanda kwakhe okunokukhuthazwa kuphela nguThixo.Ngokucacileyo, ubungcwele bukaYohane beza njengesiphumo sobunye bakhe noThixo.
Cinga namhlanje ngentetho ebalaseleyo kaJohane ngoYesu.UYohane wayeyazi into awayeyazi kuphela kuba uThixo wayephila ebomini bakhe emkhokela etyhila ezi nyaniso. Zibophezele namhlanje ekuxeliseni ukholo olunzulu lukaJohn kwaye uvuleleke kuyo yonke into uThixo afuna ukuyithetha nawe.
