Naphi na apho ukukhanya kukhanya khona umtyholi uzama ukungena aze akhohlise, ukuba, bulala, kwaye utshabalalise. Kuba lowo ngumsebenzi kasathana, ukucima ukukhanya kwebandla kwaye wenze umhlaba ungabikho kwaye ungabikho kwaye uvumele ubumnyama nokufa kulawule emhlabeni.. Kwaye ke ubumnyama bucima ukukhanya kwaye lenza ntoni ibandla?

Ngaphakathi 1 UYohane 1:15 kubhaliwe kwathiwa, uThixo ukukukhanya, akukho bumnyama kuye. Into yokuqala, ukuba uThixo wadala, kwakusenyanyeni umhlaba, kuselubala, kwakumnyama phezu kwamanzi anzongonzongo, ibikukukhanya. Wathi uThixo: “Makubekho ukukhanya” kwabakho ke ukukhanya.
Wahlula uThixo ukukhanya kubumnyama, wathi ukukhanya yimini, nobumnyama wathi bubusuku (IGenesis 1:1-5). Ukususela kuloo mzuzu, kwakungekho bumnyama kuphela, ke kukho umahluko phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama.
Ubumnyama obabukho kunye nokungabi nasimo nokungabi nalutho komhlaba okwabangelwa ngusathana needemon zakhe. (iingelosi eziwileyo), ezaphoswa emhlabeni emva koko idabi egadini. Yiloo nto uMtyholi awayenzayo emhlabeni, kwaye yiloo nto uMtyholi awayenzayo emva kokuba uThixo edale umhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi ngokugqibeleleyo, ngokulukuhla umntu, kwaye yiloo nto usathana esayenza ngomhlaba nayo yonke into ephilayo.
Abantwana bobusuku
UMtyholi unguthixo weli hlabathi nalapho amise khona ubukumkani bakhe, ubumnyama bukhona. Nangona uYesu enguKumkani kwaye uye wathabatha izitshixo, igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni, Ukusuka kuMtyholi, usathana usenamandla okuba, Bulala kwaye utshabalalise.
UMtyholi uhamba njengengonyama egqumayo, efuna ubani angamginyayo. Ngenxa yokuba umsebenzi wakhe kukutshabalalisa yonke imiphefumlo kwaye ebe ilifa, athe uThixo ngoYesu Kristu wabanikela abangcwele bakhe. Uzama ukucima konke ukukhanya okukhanya kubumnyama beli hlabathi.
Umtyholi uzama ukuhenda nokulahlekisa abantu abaninzi kangangoko ngobuxoki bakhe. Ubagcina bengayazi inyaniso, ubalalisa, ubenza abantwana basebusuku.
Yiyo loo nto umtyholi ezama ukugcina amakholwa ekude neBhayibhile; ILizwi kwaye baqinisekise ukuba balwakha ukholo lwabo phezu kwamazwi abantu, abaye baxuba ezabo iintanda-bulumko, izimvo kunye neminqweno yenyama kunye neminqweno kunye neLizwi likaThixo, bayijika inyaniso kaThixo yaba bubuxoki.
Wonke umntu, ongowenyama, ohamba ngokwenyama, onomoya weli hlabathi uyaziva, akholwe zizo; abashumayeli wehlabathi kunye nehlabathi kufuneka bathi.
Bangabehlabathi (ubumnyama), kwaye bangabantwana behlabathi; abantwana bobusuku.
Umoya wabo ufile kwaye abayiboni eyona nto yenzekayo ebangqongileyo. Balele ngokomoya yaye bahlala ebumnyameni yaye abanako ukumelana nokukhanya. Ngoko ke, bayakuphepha zonke izikhanyiso ezisondelayo.
Ngaphandle kokuba bayabuthiya ubomi babo kwaye badikwe bubomi babo obugwenxa. Kuphela emva koko, baya kutsalwa kukukhanya okukhanya ebumnyameni.
Abantu abaninzi bavuma ukuba uYesu uyiNkosi, okwangoku, bathobela umtyholi kwaye bahamba ebumnyameni
Abantu abaninzi bayamvuma uYesu njengeNkosi ngelixa beziphatha kwaye bephila njengehlabathi kwaye belele ngokomoya. Bazondla ngezinto zeli hlabathi kwaye baphenjelelwa kwaye bakhokelwa zizo. Ngoko ke bakhokelwa bubulumko nolwazi lweli hlabathi (inzululwazi), (ezentlalo)amajelo eendaba, iimeko, nazo zonke iintlobo zezinto ezisemhlabeni, abakuqondayo ngeemvakalelo zabo, kwaye bakhe ulwazi lwabo, ubulumko, iimfundiso, nokholo kubo, njengehlabathi. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uyamvuma uYesu okanye uyamkhanyela uYesu phambi kwabantu?).
Bacinga ukuba bangamaKristu kwaye bahamba ukholo. Kodwa enyanisweni, abaliphulaphuli iLizwi kwaye abahambi ngokwento ethethwa liLizwi.
Abakhokelwa liLizwi noMoya, kodwa balandela umoya weli hlabathi kwaye bakhokelwa yintoni inzululwazi, (ezentlalo)amajelo eendaba, kunye nabaphengululi (izilumko zeli hlabathi) yithi.
Bakholelwa kwaye benze oko ihlabathi libacebisayo kwaye libayalele ukuba bakwenze kwaye baye ehlabathini ukufumana uncedo, endaweni yokukholelwa nokwenza oko uYesu wayebayalele ukuba bakwenze nokuya kuye ukuze bafumane uncedo. Kwaye ngenxa yoko abantu abaninzi, abathi bangamakholwa, ngabehlabathi, bangabantwana bobusuku.
Umtyholi usebenzisa ubuxoki obuninzi namaqhinga ukuhenda nokulahlekisa amaKrestu kwaye awalahlekise. Ngale ndlela uya kukucima ukukhanya kwabo, ukuze bangabi saba sisongelo kubukumkani bakhe kwakhona.
UMtyholi usebenzisa ubuxoki kunye nazo zonke izilingo zehlabathi, ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantu bahlala bephila esonweni.
Usebenzisa iziphazamiso, iingxaki, iimeko, ukuzonwabisa, kwaye nangokunjalo, ukugcina abantu bexakekile kwaye bephazamisekile kwaye bagxile kubo nakwiimeko zabo, kunokuba sinikele ingqalelo kuYesu Kristu nokumisela uBukumkani Bakhe emhlabeni.
Logama nje abantu behlala benyama kwaye bengakulungelanga ukubeka phantsi inyama, usathana uya kuphumelela ekuqinisekiseni, ukuba bahlale begxile kwiziqu zabo baze bazondle ngezinto zeli hlabathi, ukuze bangabi saba sisongelo kubukumkani bakhe kwakhona.
Kaloku abantu abaninzi bazondla ngezinto zeli hlabathi, kokukhona besiba bubumnyama. baya kuhlala esonweni;; kwi ukungamthobeli uThixo Kwaye ukuthanda kwakhe.
Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukuhlala kuYesu Kristu; liLizwi, niqhubeke nihamba ngokokuthanda kwakhe. Nokuba oko kuthetha ukwaliwa nokutshutshiswa lihlabathi. Kuba ubumnyama buya kuhlala buzama ukucima konke ukukhanya, ukuze abantu bahlale esonweni ngaphandle kokuchaswa nokugwetywa, njengaku ngemihla kaNowa.
Abantwana bemini
Ukuba uyakholwa kuYesu Kristu kwaye ungowakhe ngaye ukuzalwa ngokutsha ndihlale kuye, ningabemini, nibe lukhanyiselo lwehlabathi. UYesu ulukhanyiso lwehlabathi nabo bonke abantu, Lowo ungowakhe, wahlala kuye, waba lukhanyiso lwehlabathi.
Ngoko ke, okoko uhlala kuKristu kwaye uphila ngokwentando yakhe, okukwayintando kaThixo, uya kuba kukukhanya kulo mhlaba.
UYesu uthi: Nina nilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi;. Isixeko esibekwe kwinduli asinakufihlakala. Akukho madoda angayikhanyisi ikhandlela, kwaye ubeke phantsi kwebhasi, kodwa kwisiphatho secala; kwaye ikhuphe yonke into esendlini. Vumela ukukhanya kwakho kukhanye phambi kwamadoda, ukuba babone imisebenzi yakho elungileyo, wamzukisa uYihlo osemazulwini (UMateyu 5:14:16)
Ngalo lonke ixesha uhlala kwi intando kaThixo wenze imisebenzi emihle, uya kumphakamisa, umzukise uYihlo, osezulwini, nokukhanya kwakho kukhanye phambi kwabantu.
Abanye abantu baya kutsalwa kukukhanya naxa ungqina, baya kukholelwa kuYesu Krestu baze baxolelaniswe ngoKrestu noBawo. Ke abathile baya kuthiya ukukhanya, banicekise, bangabi nanto yakwenza nani, ngenxa yokuba ninikela ubungqina ngemisebenzi yabo engendawo..
Ukuba le yokugqibela iyenzeka, uze ungabi buhlungu, kodwa vuyani. Kuba iBhayibhile ithi, oko ngenxa yeGama likaYesu, uya kuva ungcikivo, utshutshiswe, ulahlwe lihlabathi. (Funda kwakhona: Ukubandezeleka ngenxa yeGama leNkosi).
Yaye ekubeni umoya weli hlabathi ukho kwiicawa ezininzi, usenokutshutshiswa libandla kwaye mhlawumbi ude walelwa ukufikelela. Oku kwenzeka kuYesu, inene oku kuya kwenzeka Abalandeli bakhe, abaMmeleyo.
Ithini iBhayibhile ngoYesu’ Buyela?
IBhayibhile ithi uYesu’ Ukubuya kuya kuza njengesela ebusuku. Ngoko ke, xa uYesu ebuya, kuya kuba sebusuku. Kuya kubakho (ngokomoya) ubumnyama phezu komhlaba. (o.k.: uIsaya 13:9-10; 24:23, Kwabase-Efese 32:7-8, Yoweli 2:10,11,31; 3:15, UZachariya 14:6-7, UMateyu 24:29, IZenzo 2:20)
Ebusuku, xa kungekho mntu uyilindeleyo, UYesu uya kubuya. Kuphela abantwana bemini, abangabokuKhanya nabathe qwa emoyeni, uyakubona imiqondiso yokuza kwaKhe kwaye alungele ukuhlangana noYesu.
Kodwa ngenxa yamaxesha namathuba, bazalwana, akuyomfuneko ukuba ndinibhalele. Kuba nani ngokwenu niyazi ngokucacileyo, ukuba imini yeNkosi, njengesela ebusuku, yenjenjalo ukuza kwayo. Kuba xa baya kuthi, Uxolo nokhuseleko; ibafikele ngebhaqo intshabalalo, njengenimba komithiyo; baye bengayi kusinda. Kodwa nina, bazalwana, abekho ebumnyameni, Loo mini iya kunifikela njengesela. Nina nonke ningoonyana bokukhanya, nabantwana bemini: asingobusuku, okanye ubumnyama. Ngoko ke masingalali, njengabanye; masiphaphe sibe ziingcathu. Kwabalalayo ebusuku; nabanxilayo banxila ebusuku. Kodwa masibe, Ngoobani ngemini, yiba phambukela, Ukubeka elugcinweni loKholo nothando; kunye nesigcina-ntloko, Ithemba losindiso. Kuba uThixo akasenzi saba nomsindo, Kodwa ukufumana usindiso lweNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, Owasifelayo, loo nto, Nokuba sivuka okanye silala, kufuneka sihlale naye. Kungoko ndithi, Thuthuzelani kunye, nokwakhana, njengokuba nisenzayo nani.
1 KwabaseTesalonika 5:1-11
UMsindisi wehlabathi
Umhlaba uyabola kwaye ubumdaka nobumnyama buyanda. Konke okusingqongileyo, sibona imfiliba yemilinganiselo nemilinganiselo yokuziphatha. Imithetho, ubukhulu becala ezisekelwe eBhayibhileni (ILizwi likaThixo), zilungelelaniswa nomoya weli hlabathi; umoya womchasi-Kristu, olawula koonyana bokungathobeli; abantwana bobumnyama, abangabobusuku.

Sisiphithiphithi esinye esikhulu, kwaye akukho mntu ubonakala enesisombululo. Ngaphandle ko Umchasi-Kristu, ngubani na oya kuvela, xa lonke ithemba liphelile naxa kubonakala kungekho ndlela yokuphuma.
Umchasi-Kristu uya kuvela ebantwini kwaye uya kwenza ngathi uyakwazi ukufumana indlela yokuphuma ebugxwayibeni.. Ihlabathi liya kumgqala umchasi-Kristu njengomsindisi wehlabathi. Kodwa enyanisweni, lo mntu uya kuphefumlelwa kwaye akhokelwe ngumtyholi nobukumkani bobumnyama kwaye uya kwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi.
Okuphela koMsindisi, onako ukwenza utshintsho, nguYesu Krestu. Kubomi babantu, apho uYesu Kristu wamkelwa khona, ubumnyama buya kubaleka nobomi, ukukhanya, yaye uxolo luya kubuyiselwa.
Ekuphela kwendlela eya kuBawo kungoYesu Kristu. Nguye kuphela iNdlela, inyani, Ubomi, kunye nokuKhanya.
Wonke umphefumlo, lowo utsalwa ebumnyameni waza waxolelaniswa noYise ngoYesu Kristu, uya kuba ngowaBomi nokukhanya esikhundleni sokufa nobumnyama kwaye uya kuba ngumntwana wemini esikhundleni somntwana wobusuku..
Kuba ngamanye amaxesha ubumnyama, Ke ngoku nikukhanya eNkosini: hamba njengabantwana bokukhanya: (Kuba iziqhamo zoMoya zikubo bonke ukulunga, nobulungisa, nenyaniso;) Ukungqina oko kwamkelekileyo kwiNkosi. (Kwabase-Efese 5:8-10)
Ke nina nisisizukulwana esinyuliweyo, Ububukumkani basebukhosini, Uhlanga olungcwele, abantu abakhethekileyo; ukuze nivakalise isidima salowo wanibizayo ukuba niphume ebumnyameni, ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okungummangaliso: Obekukudala bengengobantu, kodwa ngoku ningabantu bakaThixo: ababengenzelwanga nceba, ngoku ke nenzelwe inceba. (1 UPetros 2:9-10)
Musa ukuvumela ubumnyama bucime ukukhanya, kodwa makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu
Kunjalo ngoba, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuhlala nokuhlala kuYe, phaphama kwaye ukhangele kwaye Kuxhathise izilingo kasathana kwaye ningabi nabudlelane nemisebenzi yobumnyama.
Musa ukuzama ukuba ngumhlobo wehlabathi, okanye ulungelelanise uze usebenzise ubulumko, ulwazi, kunye neethiyori zehlabathi ebomini bakho, kuba ayisosabelo sakho eso. Ukuba wenza oku, ke sele niwele emgibeni kasathana, nilahlekiswa, nilahlekiswa bubuxoki bakhe. Kuba uThixo utsho, ukuba ubulumko nokwazi kweli hlabathi bubudenge kuye.
Musa ukugxila kuwe nakubukumkani bakho, kodwa hlala unikel’ ingqalelo kuYesu Kristu nakwizinto zoBukumkani bukaThixo.
Hlala kuYe, ukuze nenze imisebenzi emihle ngaye. Hlalani nilukhanyiso lweli hlabathi, ukuze nizuzele imiphefumlo emininzi uYesu Kristu nobukumkani bakhe. Ukuba utsale imiphefumlo emininzi kubuxoki bomtyholi nakumandla obumnyama.
Apho kukhanya khona, ubumnyama mabubaleke. Ngoko ke, qiniseka ukuba ukukhanya kwakho kuhlala kukhanya kweli hlabathi lobumnyama, kwaye ubumnyama bungacimi ukukhanya kwakho.
