Ukuzindla kosuku: kumele sisekele amaKhristu abuthakathaka
INkosi ithi: "Awuzange uzinike amandla izimvu ezibuthakathaka, awuzange welaphe ezigulayo" (Ez 34: 4).
Khuluma nabelusi ababi, nabelusi bamanga, nabelusi abafuna izintshisakalo zabo, hhayi ezikaJesu Kristu, abakhathalele kakhulu imali etholakala ehhovisi labo, kepha abangawukhathaleli nhlobo umhlambi, futhi abangabajabulisi abagulayo.
Njengoba sikhuluma ngabagulayo nabakhubazekile, noma ngabe kubonakala kuyinto efanayo, umehluko ungavunywa. Empeleni, uma sibheka amagama ngokwawo kahle, umuntu ogulayo nguyena osevele ethintekile ngobubi, kanti ogulayo nguyena ongaqinile ngakho-ke ubuthakathaka kuphela.
Kulabo ababuthakathaka kuyadingeka ukuthi besabe ukuthi isilingo siyabahlasela futhi sibabhubhise.Umuntu ogulayo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, usevele uhlushwa wuthando oluthile, futhi lokhu kubavimba ukungena endleleni kaNkulunkulu, ekuzithobeni ejokeni likaKristu.
Amanye amadoda, afuna ukuphila kahle futhi asevele enze isinqumo sokuphila ngobuhle, anamandla amancane okuthwala ububi kunokuzimisela ukwenza okuhle. Manje, nokho, kufanelekile ebuhleni bobuKristu hhayi kuphela ukwenza okuhle, kodwa futhi nokukwazi ukuthwala okubi. Ngakho-ke, labo ababonakala benentshiseko ekwenzeni okuhle, kepha bengafuni noma bengazi ukuthi bangakhuthazelela kanjani izinhlupheko ezicindezelayo, babuthaka noma babuthakathaka. Kepha noma ngubani othanda umhlaba ngenxa yesifiso esithile esingenampilo futhi abuye ahlukane nemisebenzi efanayo emihle, usevele unqotshiwe ngobubi futhi uyagula. Ukugula kumenza angabi namandla futhi angakwazi ukwenza noma yini enhle. Kwakunjalo emphefumulweni okhubazekile ongakwazanga ukwethulwa phambi kweNkosi. Bese kuthi labo ababeliphethe bathola uphahla futhi ukusuka lapho balwehlisa. Nawe kufanele uziphathe ngokungathi ufuna ukwenza into efanayo emhlabeni wangaphakathi womuntu: ukwembula uphahla lwakhe bese ubeka phambi kweNkosi umphefumulo okhubazekile uqobo, ubuthakathaka ezithweni zonke zawo futhi ungakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi emihle, ucindezelwe izono zawo futhi uphethwe yisifo sokuhaha kwakhe.
Udokotela ukhona, ucashile futhi ungaphakathi kwenhliziyo. Lo ngumqondo weqiniso wemilingo ongachazwa.
Ngakho-ke uma uzithola uphambi komuntu ogulayo eshwabene ezingalweni zakhe washaywa ukukhubazeka kwangaphakathi, ukumvumela ukuthi afike kudokotela, avule uphahla avumele okhubazekile ehlise phansi, okusho ukuthi, ake angene kuye amembulele lokho okufihlwe ezibayeni zakhe inhliziyo. Mtshengise ukugula kwakhe nodokotela okumele amelaphe.
Kulabo abanganaki ukwenza lokhu, uzwile ukuthi yikuphi ukuhlambalaza okwenziwayo? Lokhu: "Awuzange uzinike amandla izimvu ezibuthakathaka, awuzange welaphe ezigulayo, awuzange uzibophe lezo zilonda" (Ez 34: 4). Umuntu olimele okukhulunywa ngaye lapha unjengoba sesishilo, lowo ozithola esethuka izilingo. Umuthi ongawunikeza kuleli cala uqukethwe kulawa mazwi aduduzayo: "UNkulunkulu uthembekile futhi ngeke akuvumele ukuba nilingwe ngokungaphezu kwamandla enu, kodwa kanye nesilingo uzosinika nendlela yokuphuma namandla okusibekezelela"
