Kutheni sitshatile? Ngokwengcinga kaThixo kunye noko iBhayibhile ikuthethayo
Ukuba nabantwana? Kuphuhliso lobuqu kunye nokuvuthwa kwamaqabane? Ukuhambisa iminqweno yabo?
IGenesis isinika iingxelo ezimbini zendalo.
Kwakudala kakhulu (Gen 2,18: 24-XNUMX) uyasibonisa, phakathi kwendalo engcangcazelayo bubomi, ukungatshatanga kwindawo epheleleyo. Wathi uYehova uThixo: “Akulungile ukuba umntu abe yedwa, ndifuna ukumnceda njengaye.” Uncedo lokuzalisa ubulolo bomntu. “Kungenxa yoko le nto indoda iya kumshiya uyise nonina, imanyane nomfazi wayo, baze abo babini babe nyama-nye.” abantu.
Kwelinye ibali, kutshanje, nokuba lifakwe kwisahluko sokuqala seGenesis (1,26:28-XNUMX), umntu (kwiqela elikwisinye esidibanisa izini ezibini) uvezwa njengomfanekiso kaThixo omnye kubantu abaliqela. kaThixo othetha ngesininzi: Masenze umntu…; lichazwa lilonke ngeziqingatha ezibini ezihambelanayo: UThixo wamdala umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe…; indoda nenkazana.
Ngoko ke uThixo okholelwa kuBathathu Emnye udala isibini esizalayo esingabantu: kuso kuya kuzalwa ubathathu emnye wothando (uyise, umama, unyana) oya kusityhilela ukuba uThixo uluthando nothando lokudala.
Kodwa kwakukho isono. Ukuvisisana kobudlelwane phakathi kwabantu kuyaphazamiseka kwicandelo lezesondo (Gen 3,7: XNUMX).
Uthando luguqulwa lube yinkanuko yesini, kwaye ayiselulo uvuyo olusisipho esivela kuThixo esilawulayo, kodwa ubukhoboka, oko kukuthi, inkanuko yenyama (1 Yoh 2,16:XNUMX).
Kolu kuphazamiseka kweemvakalelo kunye neemvakalelo zokungathembani ngokwesondo kunye nokuphantse ukungahambelani kobudlelwane bezesondo kunye nokusondela kukaThixo kumiliselwe (Gen 3,10: 19,15; Ex 1; 21,5 Sam XNUMX).
INgoma yeeNgoma yeyona nto ihloniphekileyo, inkulu, ithambileyo, inethemba elikhulu, inomdla kakhulu kunye neyona nto iyinyani ebhaliweyo okanye ethethiweyo malunga nomtshato kuwo onke amacandelo awo omoya kunye nenyama.
Sonke iSibhalo sibonisa umtshato njengemeko yenzaliseko kwisibini nakubantwana abazelwe ngabo.
Umtshato lubizo olukhulu nolungcwele ukuba uphila ngokwecebo likaThixo.” Ngoko ke, iCawe, nomthendeleko wayo womtshato, izinikezela kwabatshatileyo, amaqabane kunye neentsapho njengabalingane babo abalungileyo.
Umanyano lwesibini, ukuthembeka kwaso, ukunganyibiliki kwaso, ulonwabo lwaso, aziyondalo, iziqhamo ezizenzekelayo nezilula zenkcubeko yethu. Kude oko! Imozulu yethu inzima kuthando. Kukho uloyiko lokwenza izicwangciso okanye ukhetho olwenza umntu aphile ubomi bakhe bonke. Kwelinye icala, ulonwabo lukwixesha lothando.
Umntu unesidingo esikhulu sokwazi iingcambu zakhe, ukuzazi. Isibini, usapho luvela kuThixo.
Umtshato wamaKristu, njengomntu ngokwakhe, ulwandiso, lunxibelelwano lwemfihlelo kaThixo.
Inye kuphela intlungu: kukuba wedwa. UThixo obesoloko engumntu omnye ebeya kusoloko engonwabanga, ungumntu ozingcayo onamandla noyedwa, otyunyuzwe bubutyebi bakhe. Umntu onjalo akanakuba nguThixo, kuba uThixo ululonwabo ngokwalo.
Lunye kuphela ulonwabo: olo lokuthanda nokuthandwa. UThixo uluthando, ebesoloko ekho yaye ngokuyimfuneko. Ebesoloko engeyedwa, ulusapho, usapho lothando. Ekuqalekeni ube ekho uLizwi, waye uLizwi ekuye uThixo, waye uLizwi enguThixo (Yohane 1,1:XNUMX). UYise, uNyana noMoya oyiNgcwele: abantu abathathu, uThixo omnye, usapho olunye.
UThixo-Uthando lusapho kwaye wenza yonke into ngokufana naye. Yonke into yenziwa uthando, yonke into yenziwa usapho.
Siye safunda izahluko ezibini zokuqala zeGenesis. Kwezi ngxelo zimbini zendalo, indoda nomfazi xa bebonke benza intsholongwane kunye nomzekelo woluntu njengoko uThixo efuna ngokubanzi. Kuzo zonke izinto awazenzayo ngemihla yokudala, uThixo wathi: “Kulungile. Kumntu yedwa wathi uThixo, Akulungile. Akulungile ukuba umntu abe yedwa (Gen 2,18:XNUMX). Enyanisweni, ukuba umntu uyedwa akanakulufeza ubizo lwakhe njengomfanekiso kaThixo: ukuba luthando kuyimfuneko ukuba naye angabi yedwa. Udinga umntu ome phambi kwakhe, omfanelayo.
Ukufana noThixo-Uthando, uThixo omnye kubantu abathathu, indoda kufuneka yenziwe ngabantu ababini abafanayo kwaye ngaxeshanye bahluke, balinganayo, baziswe umzimba kunye nomphefumlo omnye komnye ngokuguquguquka kothando, kwinto enjalo. indlela ababanye nokuba kumanyano lwabo umntu wesithathu, unyana, anokubakho kwaye akhule. Lo mntu wesithathu, ngaphaya kwabo, umanyano lwabo olubambekayo, uthando lwabo oluphilayo: Nguwe wonke, ndim wonke, sonke sibabini sinyama-nye! Ngesi sizathu isibini siyimfihlakalo kaThixo, nto leyo kuphela ukholo olunokuyityhila ngokupheleleyo, nto leyo kuphela iBandla likaYesu Krestu elinokubhiyozelwa ukuba liyintoni na.
Sithetha, kwaye ngesizathu esihle, ngemfihlelo yesini. Ukutya, ukuphefumla, ukujikeleza kwegazi yimisebenzi yezinto eziphilayo. Ukwabelana ngesondo kuyimfihlakalo.
Ngoku sinokuyiqonda le nto: ngokuba yinyama, uNyana utshata uluntu. Uyamshiya uYise, athabathe imo yomntu: uThixo-uNyana kunye nendoda uYesu waseNazarete enyameni enye, le nyama ezelwe yintombi enyulu uMariya. KuYesu kukho konke uThixo nabantu bonke: unguThixo oyinyaniso nomntu oyinyaniso, uThixo opheleleyo nomntu opheleleyo.
Imbalasane yomtshato yeyokaThixo nabantu, ngokuzalwa koNyana wakhe. Nanku uMtshato, unobumba omkhulu, ocacileyo, otyebileyo ngothando. Ngenxa yomtshakazi wakhe, uNyana wazinikela ekufeni. Ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nokumkani owenzela unyana wakhe umsitho ... (Mt 22,2-14). Madoda, bathandeni abafazi benu, njengokuba naye uKristu walithandayo ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo… (Efese 5,25:33-XNUMX).
Kaloku, iNkosi iyabuza, ngeBandla, ukuba amadoda nabafazi bazinikele omnye komnye ngokuthanda ubomi, ukuba bamkele imbeko nobabalo lokubonisa nokuphila lo mnqophiso kaKristu kunye neCawa yakhe, ukuba ibe ngumthendeleko wayo; uphawu lwayo olubuthathaka, olubonakala kubo bonke.
Ngokusisiseko into elindelwe yindoda emfazini nasemfazini kwindoda lulonwabo olungenasiphelo, ubomi obungunaphakade, uThixo.
Akukho nto ingaphantsi. Eli phupha liphambeneyo elenza ukuba isipho esipheleleyo senzeke ngosuku lomtshato. Ngaphandle koThixo konke oku akunakwenzeka.
