Ukubonakaliswa kukaJanuwari 9, 2021: ukufezekisa indima yethu kuphela
"Rabhi, lowo wayekunye nawe phesheya kweYordan, umngqinela, yabona, yena uyabhaptiza; beza kuye ke bonke". UYohane 3:26
UJohn uMbhaptizi wayeqokelele abalandeli abalandelayo. Abantu babesiza kuye ukuze abhaptizwe kwaye uninzi lwalufuna ukuba inkonzo yakhe inyuke. Nangona kunjalo, nje ukuba uYesu aqalise ubulungiseleli bakhe esidlangalaleni, abanye babalandeli bakaYohane baba nomona. Kodwa uYohane wabanika impendulo echanekileyo. Wabachazela ukuba ubomi bakhe nomsebenzi wakhe yayikukulungiselela abantu uYesu.Ukuba uYesu sele ewuqalisile umsebenzi wakhe, uYohane ngovuyo wathi, “Olu vuyo lwam lugqityiwe. Kufuneka ikhule; Ndimele ukunciphisa ”(uYohane 3: 29-30).
Oku kuthobeka kukaYohane sisifundo esikhulu, ngakumbi kwabo bathathe inxaxheba kwimishini yabapostile beCawa. Rhoqo xa sibandakanyeka kubuwexuki kwaye "ulungiselelo" lomnye lubonakala ngathi lukhula ngokukhawuleza kunolwethu, umona ungavela. Kodwa isitshixo sokuqonda indima yethu kwimishini yabapostile yeCawe kaKristu kukuba kufuneka sizame ukufezekisa indima yethu kunye nendima yethu kuphela. Akufuneki sizibone sikhuphisana nabanye ngaphakathi kwiCawa. Kufuneka sazi ukuba kufuneka senze nini ngokuhambelana nentando kaThixo kwaye kufuneka sazi ixesha lokubuyela umva kwaye sivumele abanye ukuba benze intando kaThixo.Sifuna ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, akukho okunye, akukho nto ingaphantsi, kwaye akukho nto iyenye.
Ngaphaya koko, ingxelo yokugqibela kaJohn kufuneka ihlale ihlokoma ezintliziyweni zethu xa sibizelwa ukuba sizibandakanye kwisiphukuphuku. “Lumele lwande; Ndimele ukunciphisa. Lo ngumzekelo ofanelekileyo kubo bonke abakhonza uKrestu kunye nabanye ebandleni.
Cinga, namhlanje, ngala mazwi angcwele amaBhaptizi. Bafake kwimishini yakho kusapho lwakho, phakathi kwabahlobo bakho kwaye ngakumbi ukuba ubandakanyeka kwinkonzo yabapostile eCaweni. Yonke into oyenzayo kufuneka yalathe kuKristu. Oku kuyakwenzeka kuphela ukuba wena, njengo-St. John the Baptist, uyayiqonda indima eyodwa akunike yona kwaye uyamkele ngokwakho.
Nkosi, ndizinikela kuwe ngenxa yomsebenzi wakho nozuko lwakho. Ndisebenzise njengoko ufuna. Njengoko undisebenzisa, nceda undinike ukuthobeka endikudingayo ukuze ndihlale ndikhumbula ukuba ndikhonza Wena kunye nentando yakho. Ndikhulule kumona nomona kwaye undincede ndivuye ngeendlela ezininzi ozenza ngazo kwabanye ebomini bam. UYesu ndiyakholelwa kuwe.
