Kukangaphi abantu besenza izithembiso, kodwa musa ukuzigcina? Bathembisa zonke iintlobo zezinto, ke ngawo onke la madinga, oko kunokubonakala kunyanisekile kwaye kuthembekile, akukho nto ivela kuyo. Hayi indlela athembeke ngayo amazwi nezithembiso zabantu? Yaye hayi indlela athembeke ngayo amazwi nezithembiso zamaKristu kule mihla? Uthini ngawe? Ngaba uyayenza into oyithethayo kwaye uyazigcina izithembiso zakho okanye uthembisa enye into wenze enye? KuMateyu 21:28-32, sifunda ngomzekeliso woonyana ababini. Wayefuna ukuthini uYesu ngalo mzekeliso? Ithini intsingiselo yomzekeliso woonyana ababini?
Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu abuze ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma ezulwini okanye lwaluphuma ebantwini?
Ngoxa uYesu wayefundisa etempileni, beza ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu kuYesu, bambuza ukuba uzenza ngagunya lini na ezi zinto, nokuba umnike igunya.. Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, ukuba ebeya kuwuphendula umbuzo wabo ukuba bebenokuwuphendula umbuzo waKhe. Wababuza ke ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma ezulwini, okanye lwaluphuma ebantwini.
Babhunga ke ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu. Ukuba bathe evela ezulwini, waza uYesu wababuza, kutheni bengakholelwa kuyo.
Kuba, ukuba babekholiwe, ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma emazulwini, kwaye lwaluphuma kuThixo, ngoko babeya kukholelwa ukuba uYohane umBhaptizi wayethunywe nguThixo kwaye babeya kuthobela amazwi akhe baze babhaptizwe (Funda kwakhona: ‘UYohane umBhaptizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
Kodwa babengekabhaptizwa. Ngoko ke, babengakholwa ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma ezulwini, lwaluphuma ebantwini.
Kodwa ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu boyika abantu abaqhelekileyo ukuba banokuthi ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma ebantwini, ngokuba bonke babebambe ukuthi uYohane ungumprofeti.
Ngoko ke, ngenxa yokoyika abantu, Bamphendula ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu kuYesu, besithi, ababengazi ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma ezulwini, nokuba lwaluphuma ebantwini..
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba bengawuphendulanga umbuzo waKhe, UYesu akazange awuphendule umbuzo wabo, koko wabaxelela umzekeliso woonyana ababini (UMateyu 21:23-27).
Umzekeliso woonyana ababini
Kodwa nithini na?? Umntu othile ube enoonyana ababini;; weza kowokuqala, watsho, Unyana, yiyani namhla esidiliyeni sam. Waphendula wathi, Andizuku: waza kamva waguquka, wahamba. Weza nakowesibini, watsho kwangokunjalo. Waphendula ke yena wathi, ndiyahamba, mhlekazi: akaya. Nguwuphi na kwabo bobabini owenza ukuthanda kukayise?? Bathi kuye, Eyokuqala. Athi kubo uYesu, Inene ndithi kuni, Ukuba ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi bangene phambi kwenu ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Ngokuba uYohane weza kuni ngendlela yobulungisa, anakholwa nguye: kodwa bakholwa nguye ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi: kwaye wena, nakukubona oko, akaguquka emva koko, ukuze nikholwe nguye (UMateyu 21:28-32)
UYesu wabaxelela, umntu wayenoonyana ababini; wabamisela oonyana bobabini ukuba basebenze esidiliyeni sakhe ngaloo mini. Wathi unyana wokuqala, ukuba angayi, ngokuba ebengathandi ukuhamba, kodwa emva koko, unyana wazisola ngesenzo sakhe wahamba. Wathi unyana wesibini, ukuba ahambe, kodwa akazange aye.
UYesu wababuza, nguwuphi koonyana ababini owazalisekisa ukuthanda kukayise waza wenza ukuthanda kukayise. Bamphendula uYesu, ukuba unyana wokuqala wenza ukuthanda kukayise.
Wathi ke uYesu, ukuze baye kungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo phambi kwabo ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi. Ngokuba uYohane weza kubo ngendlela yobulungisa, abakholwa nguye, Bakholwa ke bona ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi ukushumayela kukaYohane (kwaye wathobela amazwi akhe waza waguquka waza wabhaptizwa). Kwaye nangona babeyibonile, abazange bazisole ngesenzo sabo kamva, ukuze bakholelwe kuye (uze ubhaptizwe).
Nangona ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu bakaThixo babemiselwe ukuba babe ngababingeleli nabalawuli babantu bakaThixo yaye bemele ukuba benze ukuthanda kukaThixo., abazange bakwenze ukuthanda kukaThixo, kwaye ababhaptizwanga (Funda kwakhona: ‘Zifana njani iinkokeli zabantu bakaThixo zamandulo nezangoku?‘ kwaye ‘Uyintoni umahluko phakathi kukaYesu neenkokeli zonqulo?‘)
Kwaye njengabo, Maninzi amaKristu, abaye benza izithembiso kuThixo baza bathembisa ukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe kodwa bengawagcini amadinga abo kuThixo yaye bengakwenzi ukuthanda kwakhe. Abaphelelanga nje ekwenzeni izithembiso kuThixo, abangazigciniyo, kodwa nakubantu.
Zithini izithembiso zamaKristu kule mihla?
Mangaphi amaKristu angena kumnqophiso womtshato kwaye athembisa ukuhlala enyanisekile kumaqabane awo, kodwa ngexesha lomtshato, bayawalibala amazwi abawathethileyo nezithembiso abazenzileyo bayishiye intando kaThixo baphule izithembiso zabo nomnqophiso womtshato babe ngabakrexezi..
Mangaphi amaKristu anikezela abantwana babo kuThixo kwaye athembise uThixo ukubakhulisela abantwana babo ekoyikeni uYehova nasekuthandeni kwakhe, kodwa ungasigcini isithembiso sabo? Bangaphi abazali abathembisa umntwana wabo(ren) zonke iintlobo zezinto, kodwa ungazigcini izithembiso zabo?
Mangaphi amaKristu enza izithembiso kumqeshi wawo kwaye atyikitye isivumelwano, kodwa ungazigcini izithembiso zabo kwaye endaweni yoko uze nazo zonke iintlobo zokuzithethelela?
Bangaphi abantu abaguqukayo kwaye babhaptizwe kwaye bathembise ukulandela uYesu; iLizwi kunye nokuMthobela nokugcina imiyalelo yaKhe, ngexesha lobomi babo, bayayishiya indlela yakhe nemithetho yakhe, bangayenzi into abayithembisileyo, kodwa bahamba ngendlela yabo kwaye benza ukuthanda kwabo. Zithini izithembiso ezixabisa kule mihla?
Maninzi amaKristu, abenza zonke iintlobo zezithembiso kuThixo nakwabanye abantu, kodwa ekugqibeleni, abazigcini izithembiso zabo. Ngoxa belindele kuThixo nakwabanye abantu ukuba benze oko bakuthethayo baze bagcine izithembiso zabo baze baphoxeke, babe nomsindo yaye amaxesha amaninzi bahlale becaphukile..
Ukuvuma iNkosi uYesu njengeNkosi, kodwa musani ukwenza oko Akuthethayo
Nindibizelani na?, Nkosi, Nkosi, kwaye musani ukuzenza izinto endizithethayo? (ULuka 6:46)
AmaKristu amaninzi athembisa ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, ngelixa bembalwa, abawathobelayo ngenene amazwi kaThixo baze benze ukuthanda kukaThixo ebomini babo. Amaxesha amaninzi amadinga enziwa enyameni; ngaphandle kwemvakalelo, imvakalelo, okanye imeko ethile yomntu.
Umzekelo, abantu banokuya ecaweni baze baphenjelelwe kakhulu ngumoya; ukukhanya kwe-ambience, umculo, imbonakalo yangaphandle, kunye namazwi ashukumisayo, ukuba iimvakalelo zabo kunye neemvakalelo zabo zithatha indawo kwaye benza isithembiso kwimeko yabo yenyama, ngelixa befika ekhaya balibale ngesithembiso abasenzayo kwaye abasigcini isithembiso sabo.
Ukuba uye wangunyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi), emva koko wenze ukhetho lokuncama ubomi bakho kwaye wenze intando kaThixo.
Uthembise ukulandela uYesu Krestu kwaye ugcine imiyalelo Yakhe kwaye ke uya kuyenza, into aniyalele yona ukuba uyenze (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ukulandela uYesu kuya kukuhlawula yonke into‘).
UThixo uyalele wonke unyana waKhe ukuba asebenze esidiliyeni Sakhe, akukho nyana ukhutshiweyo kule komishini.
Kubhaliwe kwathiwa uThixo uyawathiya amaxoki, nabaphuli bomnqophiso(abakrexezi). Ngoko ke, oonyana bakaThixo bokwenene, abazelwe nguye, abaxoki, nabaphuli bomnqophiso, kodwa bayazigcina izithembiso zabo kwaye bahlala bethembekile kwiminqophiso yabo (Owu. IMizekeliso 6:16; 12:22, uMalaki 2:16, 1 KwabaseKorinte 6:9-10, ISityhilelo 21:8).
Kukuthanda kukaThixo, ukuba oonyana bakhe bathembekile kwaye bathetha inyaniso kwaye abaxoki, ukuze bathembeke, njengaYe.
Bafanele bala iindleko phambi kokwenza isigqibo naphambi kokwenza isithembiso, ukuze bangenzi intlekisa ngoYesu Kristu noBukumkani Bakhe baze bahlaze uThixo.
Oonyana bakaThixo benza ukuthanda kukaYise
Oonyana bakaThixo baya, njengoYise wabo, bazigcine izithembiso zabo kwaye baya kukwenza oko bakuthethayo. Abangawaphuli umnqophiso, kodwa bahlala bethembekile kwizithembiso zabo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba kuya kubabiza ntoni kwaye nangona iziphumo.
Ngoko ke, ube ngunyana othobelayo kaThixo (njengoYesu), abasenokungafuni ukulandela amazwi kaThixo nemiyalelo yakhe ekuqaleni, kodwa ngokumthanda, uya kwenza intando kaThixo kwaye alandele imiyalelo Yakhe, kwaye ngokwenza oko, bonisa uthando lwakho ngoYesu Krestu noBawo kwaye umzukise kwaye umphakamise ngobomi bakho.
Kuba ayithethi ngezithembiso ozenzileyo kuThixo, kodwa ukuba uyenzile intando yakhe.
