"Ubuhlobo bukaThixo" bukaIrenaeus oNgcwele, ubishophu
INkosi yethu, iLizwi likaThixo, yaqala yakhokela abantu ukuba bakhonze uThixo, emva koko njengabakhonzi wabenza abahlobo bakhe, njengoko watshoyo ngokwakhe kubafundi bakhe: “Andisatsho ukuthi ningabakhonzi, ngokuba umkhonzi akakwazi okwenziwa yinkosi yakhe; ndinibize ngokuba nizizihlobo, ngokuba ndinixelele konke endikuvileyo kuBawo "(Jn 15: 15). Ubuhlobo bukaThixo bunika ukungafi kwabo bazimiseleyo.
Ekuqaleni, uThixo wambumba u-Adam hayi kuba efuna umntu, kodwa ukuba abenomntu aza kuthululela kuye izibonelelo zakhe. Ngokwenyani, iLizwi lamzukisa uYise, lihlala kuye, hayi ngaphambi kuka-Adam kuphela, kodwa naphambi kwayo yonke indalo. Wavakalisa ngokwakhe esithi: "Bawo, ndizukise phambi kwakho ngobuqaqawuli bendinabo kuwe, lingekabikho ihlabathi" (Jn 17: 5).
Usiyalele ukuba simlandele hayi kuba ufuna inkonzo yethu, kodwa ukuze sizinikele usindiso. Ngapha koko, ukulandela uMsindisi nenxaxheba elusindisweni, njengokulandela ukukhanya kuthetha ukuba ujikelezwe kukukhanya.
Ngubani ukukhanya Akaniki nto kukhanya, kodwa ivela kuyo ukuba ifumana isibonelelo sobukhazikhazi kunye nazo zonke ezinye izibonelelo.
Kuyafana nokukhonza uThixo: akuzisi nto kuThixo, kwaye kwelinye icala uThixo akayifuni inkonzo yabantu; kodwa kwabo bamkhonzayo nabamlandelayo, ubanika ubomi, ukungonakali, nozuko olungunaphakade. Unika izibonelelo zakhe kwabo bamkhonzayo ngenxa yokuba bemkhonza, nakwabo bamlandelayo kuba bemlandela, kodwa akafumani nzuzo kuko.
UThixo ufuna inkonzo yamadoda ukuba abe nethuba, lowo ulungileyo kwaye enenceba, ukuba athulule izibonelelo zakhe kwabo bazingisayo emsebenzini wakhe. Ngelixa uThixo engadingi kwanto, umntu ufuna ubudlelwane noThixo.
Uzuko lomntu lubandakanya ukuzingisa kwinkonzo kaThixo.Kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu iNkosi yathi kubafundi bayo: `` Asinini enanyula mna, kodwa ndim owanyula nina '' (Jn 15:16), nto leyo ebonisa ukuba ayingabo abo Mzukiseni, nimlandele, kodwa ngenxa yokuba bemlandela uNyana kaThixo, bazukiswa nguye. Kwaye kwakhona: "Ndifuna abo undinike bona babe nam apho ndikhoyo, ukuze babubone ubuqaqawuli bam" (Jn 17: 24).
