Ukucamngca ngoMeyi 16 "Umthetho omtsha"
INkosi uYesu iyangqina ukuba inika umyalelo omtsha kubafundi bayo, oko kukuthi, ukuba bathandane: "Ndiniwisela umthetho omtsha, wokuba nithandane" (Jn 13:34).
Kodwa ingaba lo mthetho wawungasekho kumthetho wakudala weNkosi, othi: "Uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu"? (Kwi-Lv 19, 18). Kutheni le nto iNkosi isithi mtsha umthetho ubonakala umdala kangaka? Ngumthetho omtsha lowo kuba usisusa umntu omdala ukuze sinxibe omtsha? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Wenza ntsha nabani na omphulaphulayo okanye kanye lowo uzibonakalisa ukuba uyamthobela. Kodwa uthando oluhlaziya ngokutsha ayilulo olo lomntu. Yiyo le nto iNkosi eyahlula kwaye ifaneleke ngala mazwi: "Njengoko ndinithandileyo nina" (Jn 13:34).
Olu luthando olusivuselelayo, ukuze sibe ngabantu abatsha, iindlalifa zomnqophiso omtsha, iimvumi zengoma entsha. Olu thando, bazalwana abathandekayo, luvuselele amalungisa amandulo, oosolusapho kunye nabaprofeti, njengoko lwaluhlaziya abapostile kamva. Olu thando ngoku luhlaziya zonke izizwe, noluntu luphela, lusasazeke emhlabeni, lwenza abantu abatsha, umzimba woMtshakazi omtsha okuphela koNyana ozelweyo kaThixo, esithetha ngaye kwiNgoma yazo iiNgoma: Ngubani liphuma likhanye ngobumhlophe? (Ct 8: 5). Ngokuqinisekileyo kukhanya ngobumhlophe kuba buhlaziyiwe. Isuka kubani, ukuba ayithanga ivela kumyalelo omtsha?
Ngenxa yoku amalungu ayahoyana; kwaye ukuba ilungu elinye liyasokola, onke ahlupheka naye, kwaye ukuba elinye liwongekile, onke ayavuya kunye nalo (cf. 1 Cor 12: 25-26). Bayamamela kwaye benze oko kufundiswa yiNkosi: "Ndiniwisela umthetho omtsha: wokuba nithandane" (Jn 13:34), kodwa hayi indlela obathanda ngayo abo bahendayo, okanye indlela othanda ngayo amadoda wedwa. inyani yokuba bangamadoda. Kodwa bathanda kangakanani abo bangoothixo nabantwana boPhezukonke, ukuba babe ngabantakwabo okuphela koNyana wakhe. Bethandana ngothando awayethanda ngalo amadoda, abazalwana bakhe, ukuze bakwazi ukubakhokelela apho umnqweno uya kwaneliswa khona zizinto (cf. iNdumiso 102: 5).
Umnqweno uya kwaneliswa ngokupheleleyo xa uThixo eya kuba kuko konke (cf. 1 Kor. 15:28).
Olu luthando lowo ucebisayo asinike lona: "Njengoko ndinithandileyo mna, ukuba nani nithandane" (Jn 13:34). Kungoko wasithandayo, kuba nathi siyathandana. Wayesithanda kwaye ke ngoko wayefuna ukuba sibotshwe kukuthandana, ukuze sibe liQumrhu leNtloko ePhakamileyo kunye nemilenze eqiniswe sisibophelelo esimnandi kangaka.
