Kunini apho kufuneka 'sitye sisele size sonwabe' (INtshumayeli 8:15)?
Ngaba wakha waba kwenye yezo teacup spin? Ngaba iisosi ezimibalabala, ezilingana nabantu ezenza ukuba intloko yakho ijikeleze kwiipaki zokuzonwabisa? Andibathandi. Mhlawumbi kukuthintela kwam isiyezi, kodwa ngaphezulu kokunxibelelana nememori yam yokuqala. Andikhumbuli kwanto kuhambo lwam lokuqala ukuya kwiDisneyland ngaphandle kwezo teacups. Ndikhumbula ngokufiphala kobuso kunye nemibala ejikeleze macala onke kum njengoAlice kumculo weWonderland odlalwa ngasemva. Njengoko ndandijingxela phantsi, ndazama ukulungisa amehlo am. Abantu basirhangqa, njengoko umama wayekhupha isifo sokuxhuzula. Kude kube namhlanje, andizukukwazi ukwenza nabuphi na ubuso, umhlaba wawusisiqhwithi nje, ngaphandle kolawulo kwaye ungcolile. Ukusukela ngoko, ndichithe ixesha elininzi lobomi bam ndizama ukunqanda ukufiphala. Ukufuna ulawulo kunye nocwangco kunye nokuzama ukuphelisa isiyezi esityhafileyo. Mhlawumbi nawe ukhe wakha wanamava oku, ngathi izinto ziqala ukuya ngendlela yazo, kuza inkungu kwaye iyabunciphisa ubuchule bakho bokubeka izinto kakuhle. Kudala ndizibuza ukuba kutheni le nto imizamo yam yokugcina ubomi ingabinaziqhamo, kodwa emva kokudlula enkungwini, incwadi yeNtshumayeli yandinika ithemba apho ubomi bam babubonakala bukhathazekile.
Kuthetha ukuthini 'ukutya, ukusela nokuba nemihlali' kwiNtshumayeli 8:15?
INtshumayeli yaziwa njengoncwadi lobulumko eBhayibhileni. Ithetha ngentsingiselo yobomi, ukufa kunye nentswela-bulungisa emhlabeni njengoko isishiya nembono ehlaziyayo yokutya, ukusela kunye nokuzonwabisa. Umxholo ophambili weNtshumayeli uvela kwigama lesiHebhere elithi Hevel, apho umshumayeli athi kwiNtshumayeli 1: 2:
"Akubalulekanga! Akubalulekanga! ”Utsho uMaster. "Ngokuqinisekileyo! Yonke into ingamampunge. "
Nangona igama lesiHebhere u-Hevel liguqulelwe "njengongabalulekanga" okanye "ngamampunge", abanye abaphengululi bathi ayisiyiyo le nto ithethwa ngumbhali. Imifanekiso ecacileyo iya kuba yinguqulelo "umphunga". Umshumayeli kule ncwadi unikezela ngobulumko bakhe ngokuchaza ukuba bonke ubomi bungumphunga. Buchaza ubomi njengokuzama ukubamba inkungu okanye ukubamba umsi. Yintsumantsumane, iyimfihlakalo kwaye ayinakho ukuqondwa. Ke ngoko, xa kwiNtshumayeli 8:15 esithi "masidle, sisele, siziyolise," usikhanyisela ngovuyo lobomi ngaphandle kwako ukudideka, ukungalawuleki, kunye neendlela ezingekho sikweni.
Umshumayeli uyaliqonda ilizwe elonakeleyo esiphila kulo. Ujonge umnqweno woluntu wokulawula, uzabalazela impumelelo kunye nolonwabo, kwaye ubiza umphunga opheleleyo-ukusukelana nomoya. Nokuba sisebenza njani, sidume kakuhle, okanye sikhetha impilo, umshumayeli uyazi ukuba "ukufundisa" akuyeki ukujikeleza (INtshumayeli 8:16). Uchaza ubomi emhlabeni njengolu hlobo:
Ndabuya ndabona ukuba, phantsi kwelanga, ukubaleka asikokwabawo ukudla, asikokulwa kwabomeleleyo; isonka asisesezilumko; nobutyebi asibobabanokwazi; akukho kubabalwa nabazi ukuqonda. kwaye kwenzeka kubo bonke. Kuba umntu akalazi ixesha lakhe. Njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswa ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo oonyana babantu ukubanjiswa ngumgibe ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe. - INtshumayeli 9: 11-12
Kukule ndawo yokujonga ukuba umshumayeli unika isisombululo kwi-vertigo yelizwe lethu:
"Ndiludumisa uvuyo, kuba akukho nto imlungeleyo umntu phantsi kwelanga ngaphandle kokuba adle, asele, avuye; - INtshumayeli 8:15
Endaweni yokuvumela amaxhala ethu kunye noxinzelelo lweli hlabathi lusidimaze, INtshumayeli 8:15 isibiza ukuba sonwabele izipho ezilula esiziphiwe nguThixo ngaphandle kweemeko zethu.
Ngaba kufuneka "sidle, sisele, sonwabe" ngalo lonke ixesha?
INtshumayeli 8: 15 isifundisa ukuba sonwabe kuzo zonke iimeko. Esikhatsini sokuphuma kwesisu, ubuhlobo obungaphumeleliyo, okanye ukuphulukana nomsebenzi, umshumayeli wasikhumbuza ukuba "kukho ixesha lezinto zonke" (INtshumayeli 3:18) nokufumana uvuyo lwezipho zikaThixo ngaphandle kwesiseko Ukujikeleza kwehlabathi. Ayikokugxothwa ukubandezeleka okanye intlekele yethu. UThixo uyasibona kwintlungu yethu kwaye usikhumbuza ukuba unathi (KwabaseRoma 8: 38-39). Endaweni yoko, esi sisikhuthazo sokubakho nje kwizipho zikaThixo eluntwini.
“Ndifumanise ukuba akukho nto ilunge ngakumbi [kubantu] kunokuba nemihlali nokwenza okulungileyo ngexesha lokudla kwabo ubomi; Kwanokuba wonke umntu adle, asele, adle, nasemandleni akhe adle; oku kusisipho sikaThixo emntwini ”. - INtshumayeli 3: 12-13
Njengokuba lonke uluntu luphazanyiswa "kukufundisa" phantsi kwesiphumo sokuwa kwiGenesis 3, uThixo unika isiseko esiluqilima sovuyo kwabo wayebabizile ngokwenjongo yakhe (KwabaseRoma 8:28).
“Akukho nto ilunge ngakumbi emntwini kunokuba adle, asele, abone okulungileyo emigudwini yakhe. Nako oku, ndikubonile, kuvela esandleni sikaThixo, kuba ngaphandle kwakhe ngubani ongadla okanye ngubani onokuzonwabisa? Okholisa uThixo unike ubulumko, ulwazi novuyo “. - INtshumayeli 2: 24-26
Into yokuba sinee-buds zokungcamla ukonwabela ikofu etyebileyo, ii-apile eziswiti kunye nee-nas ezinosawoti sisipho. UThixo usinika ixesha lokonwabela umsebenzi wezandla zethu kunye novuyo lokuhlala phakathi kwabahlobo bakudala. Ngenxa yokuba "sonke isipho esilungileyo nesigqibeleleyo sivela phezulu, sehla kwizibane zikaBawo wasezulwini" (Yakobi 1: 7).
Ithini iBhayibhile ngokonwaba kobomi?
Ke singabonwabela njani ubomi kwihlabathi eliwileyo? Ngaba sigxila kuphela kukutya kunye nokusela okuphambi kwethu, okanye ngaba kukho okungakumbi kwiinceba ezintsha uThixo athi usinika zona ntsasa nganye (IZililo 3:23)? Isikhuthazo seNtshumayeli kukukhulula ukuqonda kwethu kolawulo kwaye sonwabele isabelo asinike sona uThixo, nokuba sithini na. Ukwenza oku, asinokuthi nje "sonwabele" izinto, kodwa kufuneka sifune eyona nto inika uvuyo kwasekuqaleni. Ekugqibeleni ukuqonda ukuba ngubani olawulayo (IMizekeliso 19:21), ngubani onika nohluthayo (uYobhi 1:21), kwaye eyona nto yanelisayo ikwenza utsibe. Singangcamla i-apile ethandwayo emtshatweni, kodwa ukunxanelwa kwethu ulwaneliseko lokugqibela akunakuze kupheliswe kwaye umhlaba wethu ophuphileyo awusoze ucace de sinikezele kuMniki wazo zonke izinto ezilungileyo.
UYesu usixelela ukuba uyindlela, nenyaniso, nobomi, akukho namnye uzayo kuBawo engezi ngaye (Yohane 14: 6). Kukuzinikela kwethu kulawulo, ukuzazisa kunye nobomi kuYesu apho sifumana uvuyo olude nolwanelisayo.
“Nokuba awukayiboni, uyayithanda. Nokuba animboni ngoku, kholwani kuye nivuye ngovuyo olungathethekiyo oluzele luzuko, nifumana isiphumo sokholo lwenu, usindiso lwemiphefumlo yenu ”. - 1 Petros 1: 8-9
UThixo, kubulumko bakhe obungenasiphelo, usinike esona sipho sigqibeleleyo sovuyo kuYesu, wathumela unyana wakhe ukuba aphile ubomi esingenako ukubuphila, afe ukufa okusifaneleyo kwaye avuke engcwabeni ngokoyisa isono noSathana kube kanye. . Ngokukholelwa kuye, sifumana uvuyo olungachazekiyo. Zonke ezinye izipho - ubuhlobo, ukutshona kwelanga, ukutya okumnandi kunye nokuhlekisa - zenzelwe ukuba zisibuyisele kulonwabo esinalo kuYe.
AmaKristu abizwa njani ukuba aphile emhlabeni?
Ngolo suku kwii teacups zihlala zitshisiwe engqondweni yam. Iyandikhumbuza kwangaxeshanye ukuba ndingubani kwaye uThixo wabuguqula njani ubomi bam ngoYesu.Ngokukhona ndizama ukuthobela iBhayibhile kwaye ndihlala ndinesandla esivulekileyo, kokukhona ndonwaba ngakumbi ngezinto Asinika zona nezinto azisusayo. Nokuba uphi namhlanje, masikhumbule eyoku-1 kaPetros 3: 10-12:
Lowo unqwenela ukubuthanda ubomi, abone imihla emnandi;
Gcina ulwimi lwakhe ebubini nasemilebeni yakhe ekuthetheni inkohliso;
suka ebubini, wenze okulungileyo; funa uxolo uze ulusukele.
Ngokuba amehlo eNkosi aphezu kwamalungisa, Neendlebe zayo zisingisele esikhungweni sawo;
Ke ubuso beNkosi buphezu kwabenza okubi.
NjengamaKristu, sibizelwe ukonwabela ubomi ngokugcina ulwimi lwethu lungabikho kobubi, sisenza okuhle kwabanye kwaye silandele uxolo nabo bonke. Ngokonwabela ubomi ngale ndlela, sizama ukuhlonipha igazi elixabisekileyo likaYesu owasifelayo ukuze sikwazi ukubufumana ubomi. Nokuba uziva ngathi uhleli kwi-teacup ejikelezayo, okanye unamathele kwisiyezi sesiyezi, ndiyakukhuthaza ukuba ubonise iziqwenga zobomi ozikrazulayo. Hlakulela intliziyo enombulelo, uxabise izipho ezilula azinikwe nguThixo, kwaye uzame ukonwabela ubomi ngokubeka uYesu nokuthobela imiyalelo yakhe. "Kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo asikokutya nokusela, kodwa bobulungisa, uxolo novuyo kuMoya oyiNgcwele" (KwabaseRoma 14:17). Masingahlali "YOLO" ukuba izenzo zethu azinamsebenzi, kodwa masonwabele ubomi ngokulandela uxolo nobulungisa kwaye sibulela uThixo ngobabalo lwakhe ebomini bethu.
