Ukucamngca kwanamhlanje: Ndilwile umlo olungileyo
UPawulos wahlala entolongweni ngokungathi wayesezulwini kwaye wafumana ukubethwa kunye namanxeba ngokuzithandela kunabo bafumana umvuzo kukhuphiswano: wayezithanda iintlungu ezingekho ngaphantsi kwamabhaso, kuba wayexabise iintlungu ezifanayo nemivuzo; Kungoko wababizayo bababalo lukaThixo. Kodwa lumka ukuba wayithetha ngantoni. Ngokuqinisekileyo yayingumvuzo ukukhululwa emzimbeni kwaye sihlale noKristu (cf. Phil 1,23: XNUMX), ngeli lixa ukuhlala emzimbeni kwakungumzabalazo oqhubekayo; Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa kaKristu wathumela kwakhona umvuzo ukuze akwazi ukulwa: into awayeyibona iyimfuneko ngakumbi.
Ukwahlukaniswa noKristu kwakungumzabalazo kunye nentlungu kuye, ngenene ingaphezulu komzabalazo nentlungu. Ukuba noKristu yayinguye kuphela umvuzo ngaphezu kwayo yonke into. UPawulos ngenxa kaKristu wakhetha eyokuqala kunale yokugqibela.
Ngokuqinisekileyo apha abanye banokuxoxa ukuba uPawulos wayezibambe zonke ezi zinto zimnandi ngenxa kaKristu. Ewe ndiyakuvuma oku, kuba ezo zinto ziyimithombo yosizi kuthi, endaweni yoko zazingumthombo wolonwabo olukhulu kuye. Kodwa kutheni ndikhumbula iingozi kunye nomsebenzi onzima? Kuba wayebandezelekile kakhulu, kwaye ngenxa yoku wathi: «Ngubani na obuthathaka, le nto ndingenguye nam? Ngubani ofumana ihlazo endingalikhathalelanga? (2 Kor. 11,29:XNUMX).
Ngoku, nceda, asincomi nje kuphela, kodwa sixelise lo mzekelo ubalaseleyo wokulunga. Kungale ndlela kuphela, enyanisweni, apho siya kuba nakho ukuthatha inxaxheba kukoyisa kwabo.
Ukuba kukho umntu otyholayo ngenxa yokuba sithethe ngoluhlobo, oko kukuthi, nabani na oya kufumana imbuyekezo kaPawulos naye uya kufumana imbuyekezo, unokumamela okufanayo
Umpostile othi: «Ndilwile umlo olungileyo, ndigqibile ugqatso lwam, ndilugcinile ukholo. Ngoku ndinesithsaba sobulungisa kuphela endiya kundinika sona iNkosi, ngaloo mhla, ingabi yeyam kuphela, kodwa kubo bonke abalindele ukubonakalaliswa kwakhe luthando "(2 Tim 4,7-8). Ungayibona ngokucacileyo indlela abiza wonke umntu ukuba athathe inxaxheba kubuqaqawuli obufanayo.
Ngoku, ekubeni isithsaba salo uzuko sinikwa kubo bonke, sonke masizame ukuzifanelekela ezo zinto sizithenjisiweyo.
Simele singaqwalaseli kuye kuphela ubukhulu kunye nokuthambeka kokuqaqamba kunye nokuvutha komoya oqinileyo kunye nokuzimisela komphefumlo wakhe, ekufanele ukuba afumane uzuko olukhulu kangaka, kodwa kunye nokuqheleka kwendalo, efana nathi kuzo zonke. Ngale ndlela, kwanezinto ezinzima zinokubonakala zilula kwaye zilula kuthi kwaye, ngeli xesha lifutshane, siya kunxiba isithsaba esingenakonakala nokungafi, ngobabalo nenceba yeNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, ekukuphela kwayo nozuko namandla ngoku, kwiinkulungwane zeminyaka. Amen.
