Waza uYesu wakhokelelwa nguMoya ezulwini, ukuba ehendwe nguMtyholi. Wazila iintsuku ezimashumi mane nobusuku obumashumi mane, kwaye ke walamba emva koko. UMateyu 4: 1-2
Ngaba isilingo silungile? Ngokuqinisekileyo ayisosono ukulingwa. Ngaphandle koko iNkosi yethu ngekhe ihendwe yodwa. Kodwa yayinjalo. Kwaye nathi. Njengoko singena kwiveki yokuqala epheleleyo yeLente, sinikwa ithuba lokucamngca ngebali lokulingwa kukaYesu entlango.
Izilingo aziveli kuThixo, kodwa ke yena uvumela ukuba uhendwe. Hayi ngenjongo yokuwa, kodwa ukuze akhule ebungcweleni. Isilingo sisinyanzela ukuba siphakame senze ukhetho kuThixo okanye ngesilingo. Nangona inceba kunye nokuxolelwa kusoloko kunikezelwa xa sisilela, iintsikelelo ezilindelwe kwabo boyisa isilingo zininzi.
Ukulingwa kukaYesu akuzange kubukhulise ubungcwele bakhe, kodwa kwamnika ithuba lokuzibonakalisa egqibelele kwindalo yakhe yobuntu. Kukufezekisa esikufunayo kunye nokugqibelela ekufuneka sikwenze ukulinganisa njengoko sijamelene nezilingo zobomi. Makhe siqwalasele ezintlanu "iintsikelelo" ezicacileyo ezinokuvela ngokunyamezela izilingo zongendawo. Cinga ngononophelo kwaye ucothe:
Okokuqala, ukunyamezela isilingo kunye nokohlula kusinceda ukuba sibone amandla kaThixo ebomini bethu.
Okwesibini, isilingo siyasihlazisa, sisuse ikratshi lethu kunye nomzabalazo wethu wokucinga ukuba sanelisiwe kwaye siyakwazi ukuzivelisa.
Okwesithathu, kukho ukubaluleka okukhulu ekuchaseni uMtyholi ngokupheleleyo. Oku akugcini ngokususa amandla akhe aqhubekayo okusilahlekisa, kodwa kukwacacisa umbono wethu wokuba ungubani ukuze siqhubeke ukumala nemisebenzi yakhe.
Okwesine, ukoyisa isilingo kuyasomeleza ngokucacileyo nangokucacileyo kuwo onke amandla.
Okwesihlanu, usathana akangekhe asihende ukuba akanangxaki ngobungcwele bethu. Ngenxa yoko, kufanelekile ukujonga isilingo njengophawu lokuba ongendawo uphulukana nobomi bethu.
Ukoyisa isilingo kufana nokubhala uviwo, ukuphumelela ukhuphiswano, ukugqiba iprojekthi enzima okanye ukufeza umsebenzi onzima. Kuya kufuneka sonwabe kakhulu ukoyisa isilingo ebomini bethu, siqonda ukuba oku kuyasomeleza kwintliziyo yethu. Njengoko siyenza, kufuneka siyenze ngokuthobeka, siqonda ukuba asiyiphumelelanga sodwa kodwa ngobabalo lukaThixo ebomini bethu.
Ukujika kwakhona kuyinyani. Xa sisilela ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwisilingo esithile, siyadimazeka kwaye sityekele ekuphulukaneni nokuziphatha okuhle esinako. Yazi ukuba nasiphi na isilingo esibi sinokoyiswa. Akukho nto intle kakhulu. Akukho nto inzima kakhulu. Zithobe uvume isono, funa uncedo lomntu ozithembileyo, uguqe ngamadolo emthandazweni, uthembele kumandla onke kaThixo, Ukoyisa isilingo akunakwenzeka kuphela, ngamava azukileyo kwaye aguqulayo obabalo ebomini bakho.
Cinga namhlanje ngoYesu ujongene nomtyholi entlango emva kokuchitha iintsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila ukutya. Uye wajongana naso sonke isilingo sabangendawo ukuze aqinisekise ukuba, ukuba kuphela sizimanya ngokupheleleyo naye kwimo yakhe yobuntu, siya kuba nawo ke amandla akhe okoyisa nayiphi na into nayo yonke into edlalwa ngumtyholi okhoyo endleleni yethu.
Nkosi yam ethandekayo, emva kokuchitha iintsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila ukutya kunye nokuthandaza kwindawo eyinkqantosi kunye nentlango eshushu, uzivumela ukuba uhendwe kongendawo. Umtyholi ukuhlasele ngako konke awayenako kwaye ngokulula, ngoko nangoko nangokucacileyo woyisa, wagatya ubuxoki nenkohliso. Ndiphe ubabalo endiludingayo ukuze ndoyise zonke izilingo endihlangabezana nazo nokuzinikezela ngokupheleleyo kuWe ngaphandle kokubhukha. Yesu ndiyakholelwa kuwe.
