UKUTHOBEKA KWAJESU
Inhliziyo kaJesu ayizivezi emhlabeni, hhayi kuphela njengesibonelo sobumnene, kodwa futhi nokuthobeka. Lezi zimfanelo ezimbili azihlukaniseki, ukuze umuntu omnene futhi azithobe, kuyilapho ongakhathali evame ukuziqhenya. Sifunda kuJesu ukuthobeka enhliziyweni.
UMhlengi womhlaba, uJesu Kristu, ungudokotela wemiphefumulo futhi nangomzimba wakhe wayefuna ukwelapha amanxeba esintu, ikakhulukazi ukuziqhenya, okuyisimpande
zonke izono, futhi wayefuna ukunikeza izibonelo ezikhanyayo zokuthobeka, aze athi: Funda kimi, ozithobile wezinhliziyo!
Ake sikhombise okuncane ebubini obukhulu ubuqili obukukhohlisa, ukusenyanya nokusinxenxa ngokuthobeka.
Ukuziqhenya kuwukuziqhenya ngokweqile; kuyisifiso esonakalisiwe sokuba ngcono komuntu; yisifiso sokuvela nokuheha ukuhlonishwa kwabanye; kungukufuna udumo lomuntu; kungukukhonzwa kwezithombe zomuntu uqobo; ngumkhuhlane onganikeli ukuthula.
UNkulunkulu uyakuzonda ukuziqhenya futhi ukujezisa ngokungafanele. Waxosha uLusifa nezinye iziNgelosi eziningi ePharadesi, wazenza izigaxa zesihogo, ngenxa yokuziqhenya; ngesizathu esifanayo wajezisa u-Adamu no-Eva, ababedle isithelo esenqatshelwe, ngethemba lokuthi bazofana noNkulunkulu.
Umuntu oziqhenyayo uzondwa nguNkulunkulu futhi nabantu, ngoba bona, naphezu kokuphakama, bayazithanda futhi bakhangwa ukuthobeka.
Umoya wezwe ungomoya wokuziqhenya, ozibonakalisa ngezindlela eziyinkulungwane.
Umoya wobuKhristu, nokho, wonke ubonakala ngokuthobeka.
UJesu uyisibonelo esihle kakhulu sokuthobeka, ezithoba ngaphezu kwamazwi, aze ashiye inkazimulo yeZulu futhi abe yiNdoda, ayohlala endaweni yokucasha isitolo esimpofu futhi amukele zonke izinhlobo zokululazeka, ikakhulukazi kuPastor.
Siyakuthanda nokuthobeka, uma sifuna ukuthokozisa inhliziyo eNgcwele, futhi sikwenze nsuku zonke, ngoba nsuku zonke kuvela amathuba.
Ukuthobeka kubandakanya ukwazisa ngathi ngalokho esiyikho, okungukuthi, inhlanganisela yosizi lomzimba kanye nokuziphatha, futhi ekuboniseni uNkulunkulu ukuhlonipha kokunye okuhle esikuthola kithi.
Uma sicabangela lokho esiyikho ngempela, kungasilahlekisela okuncane ukuzigcina sithobekile. Ingabe sinayo ingcebo? Noma sazuza njengefa futhi lokhu akuyona imfanelo yethu; noma sibathenge, kepha kungekudala kuzodingeka sibashiye.
Ingabe sinawo umzimba? Kepha mangaki amanyala asemzimbeni! ... Impilo ilahlekile; ubuhle buyanyamalala; ulindele ukuchitheka kwesidumbu.
Kuthiwani ngobuhlakani? O, kunqunyelwe kanjani! Luyindlala kangakanani ulwazi lomuntu, ngaphambi kolwazi lomkhathi!
Intando-ke ithambekele kokubi; sibona okuhle, siyabonga kepha nokho sibambelele kokubi. Namuhla isono sinengekile, kusasa kwenziwa ngobuhlanya.
Singaziqhenya kanjani uma siluthuli nomlotha, uma singelutho, impela uma siyizibalo ezingezinhle phambi kobulungiswa baphezulu?
Njengoba ukuthobeka kuyisisekelo sawo wonke amandla, abazinikele beNhliziyo Engcwele benza konke ukukwenza, ngoba, njengoba umuntu engemthokozise uJesu uma umuntu engenabo ubumsulwa, okuwukuthobeka komzimba, ngakho-ke umuntu akenzi njalo kungajabulisa ngaphandle kokuthobeka, okuwukumsulwa komoya.
Senza ukuthobeka kithi ngokwethu, singazami ukuvela, singazami ukuthola udumo lomuntu, masinyane senqabe imicabango yokuziqhenya kanye nokunganethembi, empeleni senza isenzo sokuthobeka kwangaphakathi noma nini lapho sizwa umcabango wokuziqhenya. Vumela isifiso sokugqama.
Sithobekile nabanye, asideleli muntu, ngoba labo abadelelayo, bakhombisa ukuthi bayaziqhenya kakhulu. Isihawu sithobekile futhi sihlanganisa amaphutha abanye.
Abaphansi nabasebenzi mabangaphathwa ngokuziqhenya.
Umona uyalwa, okuyindodakazi eyingozi kakhulu yokuqhosha.
Yamukela ukuthotshiswa buthule, ngaphandle kokuxolisa, lapho lokhu kungenamiphumela. UJesu ubusisa kanjani lowo mphefumulo, owamukela ukuthotshiswa athule, ngenxa yothando lwakhe! Umlingisa ekuthuleni kwakhe phambi kwezinkantolo.
Lapho kutholwa udumo oluthile, inkazimulo inikezwe uNkulunkulu masinyane kanye nesenzo sokuthobeka esenziwa ngaphakathi.
Prakthiza ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuthobeka ekusebenzelaneni noNkulunkulu. Ukuziqhenya ngokomoya kuyingozi enkulu. Ungazibizi ukuthi ulungile kunabanye, ngokuba uJehova ungumahluleli wezinhliziyo; sizazise ukuthi siyizoni, sikwazi zonke izono, uma uNkulunkulu engazange asisekele ngomusa wakhe. Abasukuma, qaphela ukuthi ungawi! Labo abazikhukhumezayo ngokomoya futhi bakholelwa ukuthi banamandla amakhulu, besaba ukuwa okungathí sina, ngoba uNkulunkulu anganciphisa umusa wakhe futhi awuvumele uwele ezonweni ezihlazisayo! INkosi imelana nabazidlayo futhi ibathobise, njengoba isondela kwabathobekileyo futhi ibaphakamise.
ISIBONELO
Usongo lwaphezulu
Ngaphambi kokuba abaPhostoli bamukele uMoya oCwebileyo, bebengaphelele futhi beshiye okuthile okufanele bakufise maqondana nokuthobeka.
Babengaqondi izibonelo uJesu abanikeza zona kanye nezifundo zokuthobeka ezazivela enhliziyweni yakhe yaphezulu. Lakanye iNkosi yababiza eduze kwayo yathi: Uyazi ukuthi izikhulu zezizwe ziyababusa futhi abakhulu basebenzisa amandla phezu kwazo. Kepha akuyikuba njalo phakathi kwakho; kodwa noma ngubani ofuna ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwakho uyisikhonzi sakho. Futhi noma ngubani ofisa ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwakho, yiba inceku yakho, njengeNdodana yomuntu, ongazange azokhonzwa, kodwa akhonze futhi anikele ngokuphila kwakhe ekuhleleni abaningi (S. Matthew, XX - 25) .
Yize besesikolweni se-Divine Master, abaPhostoli abasheshe bazikhiphe emoyeni wokuziqhenya, baze bafanelwa yisihlamba.
Ngelinye ilanga basondela edolobheni laseKapernawume; bathatha ithuba lokuthi uJesu usekude futhi bacabanga ukuthi akabalaleli, babeka umbuzo wokuthi: ngubani omkhulu kubo? Ngamunye wabo wayenezizathu zokudala kwabo. UJesu wakuzwa konke futhi wathula, wadabukisa ukuthi abangane bakhe abaseduze bebengawunaki umoya wakhe wokuthobeka; kepha lapho befika eKapernawume, bangena endlini, wababuza: Benikhuluma ngani endleleni?
Abaphostoli baqonda, baphoxekile futhi bathula.
Ngemuva kwalokho uJesu wahlala phansi, wathatha ingane, wayibeka phakathi kwabo futhi ngemuva kokumgona, wathi: Uma ungaguquki futhi ufane nezingane, ngeke ungene embusweni wezulu! (UMathewu, XVIII, 3). Lokhu kusongo uJesu akwenza kwabaziqhenyayo: ukungabamukeli ePharadesi.
I-Foil. Cabanga ngokungabi nalutho kwakho, ukhumbule usuku lapho siyobe sifile ebhokisini.
Ukuqanjwa. Inhliziyo kaJesu, nginikeze ukwedelela okungelutho komhlaba!
