Ukuzindla namuhla: ukukholwa ezintweni zonke
Kwakukhona isikhulu senkosi, indodana yaso yayigula eKapernawume. Lapho ezwa ukuthi uJesu ufikile eGalile evela eJudiya, waya kuye wamcela ukuba ehle aphulukise indodana yakhe, eyayiseduze nokufa. UJesu wathi kuye: "Ngaphandle kokuthi nibone izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, anisoze nakholwa." Johane 4: 46-48
UJesu wagcina ephulukise indodana yesikhulu sasebukhosini. Futhi lapho isikhulu sasebukhosini sibuya ukuthola ukuthi indodana yaso iselaphekile, sitshelwa ukuthi "yena nomndeni wakhe wonke bakholwa." Abanye bakholelwa kuJesu kuphela ngemuva kokwenza izimangaliso. Kunezifundo ezimbili okufanele sizifunde kulokhu.
Zindla namuhla ngokujula kokholo lwakho
Okokuqala, iqiniso lokuthi uJesu wenza izimangaliso lingubufakazi bokuthi Ungubani. UnguNkulunkulu womusa omkhulu. NjengoNkulunkulu, uJesu wayengalindela ukholo kulabo ayebasebenzela ngaphandle kokubanikeza "ubufakazi" bezibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukholo lweqiniso alusekelwe ebufakazini bangaphandle, njengokubona izimangaliso; kunalokho, ukukholwa okuyiqiniso kusekelwe ekwambulweni kwangaphakathi kukaNkulunkulu azikhulume nathi ngakho futhi siyakholelwa. Ngakho-ke, iqiniso lokuthi uJesu wenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso likhombisa ukuthi unesihe kangakanani. Akazange anikeze lezi zimangaliso hhayi ngoba noma ngubani ezifanele, kepha ngenxa yokupha kwakhe okuningi ekusizeni ukuvusa ukholo ezimpilweni zalabo abakuthola kunzima ukukholwa kuphela ngesipho sangaphakathi sokukholwa.
Lokho kusho, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi kufanele sisebenzele ukuthuthukisa ukholo lwethu ngaphandle kokuncika kwizimpawu zangaphandle. Ngokwesibonelo, cabanga ukube uJesu wayengakaze enze izimangaliso. Bangaki abebezokholelwa Kuye? Mhlawumbe bambalwa kakhulu. Kepha kuzoba khona abazofika bakholwe, futhi labo abenza lokho bazoba nokholo olujulile noluyiqiniso. Cabanga, isibonelo, ukube lesi sikhulu sasebukhosini besingazange sithole isimangaliso sendodana yaso kodwa, noma kunjalo, besikhethe ukukholelwa kuJesu noma kanjani ngesipho esiguqulayo sangaphakathi sokholo.
Empilweni ngayinye yethu, kubalulekile ukuthi sisebenzele ukuthuthukisa ukholo lwethu, noma ngabe uNkulunkulu engabonakali enza ngezindlela ezinamandla nezisobala. Ngempela, uhlobo olujulile lokukholwa luvela empilweni yethu lapho sikhetha ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nokumkhonza, noma ngabe izinto zinzima kakhulu. Ukukholwa phakathi kobunzima kuyisibonakaliso sangempela sokholo.
Zindla namuhla ngokujula kokholo lwakho. Lapho impilo inzima, uyamthanda uNkulunkulu futhi usamkhonza? Noma kungasusi iziphambano ozithwele? Zama ukuba nokholo lweqiniso ngaso sonke isikhathi nangaphansi kwazo zonke izimo futhi uzomangala ukuthi ukholo lwakho luba ngokoqobo futhi luqiniswe kanjani.
Jesu wami onomusa, uthando lwakho ngathi lungaphezu kwalokho esingakucabanga. Ukuphana kwakho kukhulu ngempela. Ngisize ngikholelwe kuwe futhi ngamukele intando yakho engcwele ngazo zombili izikhathi ezinhle nezinzima. Ngisize, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukuthi ngivulele isipho sokukholwa, noma ngabe ubukhona bakho nesenzo sakho empilweni yami kubonakala kuthule. Kwangathi lezo zikhathi, Nkosi ethandekayo, zingaba yizikhathi zenguquko yangempela yangaphakathi nomusa. Jesu ngiyakholelwa kuwe.
