Ukuthetha kwaye ukwenza izinto ezimbini ezahlukeneyo. Amaxesha amaninzi abantu bathetha enye into kodwa benze enye. Maninzi amaKristu, abaya ecaweni bathi bayakholwa kuYesu nakumsebenzi wakhe wokuhlangula kwaye bangqina ngoYesu Krestu kodwa ngemisebenzi yabo., abayenzi into abayithethayo. Kwincwadi kaEzra, sibona into efanayo. UEzra wathetha enye into kodwa wenza enye.
Isenzo sikaEzra sasiphikisana nelizwi lakhe
Ndamema inzilo khona, kumlambo iAhava, ukuze sizithobe phambi koThixo wethu, ukuba asifunele indlela ethe tye, nangenxa yabantwana bethu, nakuzo zonke izinto zethu. Ngokuba ndandineentloni ukuba ndicele impi nabamahashe kukumkani, ukuba basincede ezintshabeni endleleni.: ngokuba besithethile kukumkani, esithi, Isandla soThixo wethu siphezu kwabo bonke abamfunayo ukuba kulunge; kodwa amandla akhe nomsindo wakhe uphezu kwabo bonke abamshiyayo. Sazila ukudla, sambongoza uThixo wethu ngenxa yoko: naye wathandazeka ngathi (Ezra 8:21-23).
UEzra wayelingqina likaThixo yaye wayengqinile ubukhulu boThixo wakhe onamandla kukumkani. Xa ukumkani wanikela ngomkhosi wakhe ukuba awukhusele, UEzra wasikhaba eso sicelo (ukukhuselwa kwakhe) waza waxelela ukumkani ukuba babengawufuni umkhosi wakhe ukuba ubakhusele. Kungenxa yokuba uThixo wayeza kuba nabo aze abakhusele.
Kodwa kwathi kwakufika ukutyhala, UEzra wayefuna umkhosi oza kuwakhusela kwiintshaba zawo.
Ngaba amaKristu athetha enye into kodwa enze enye?
Kuyafana nakubomi bamaKristu. AmaKristu amaninzi athetha enye into kodwa enze enye. Umzekelo, maninzi amakholwa, abathi uYesu Kristu nguYehova wabo Rafa, uMphilisi wabo, ngelixa esiya koogqirha. Oku kungenxa yokuba ihlabathi lithi, ukuba uyagula okanye awuziva kakuhle, uya kwagqirha, thatha amayeza kwaye uyakuziva ungumntu omdala kwakhona”
Ngoko ke kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba hlaziya ingqondo yakho Ngebhayibhile (ILizwi likaThixo) ukufumana inyaniso kaThixo, kholelwa inyaniso, kwaye usebenzise inyaniso kaThixo ebomini bakho. Ukuze uhambe ngokweLizwi enyanisweni kaThixo, endaweni yokuhamba ngokwehlabathi (inkqubo) ithi.
Litsho ihlabathi, yiya kugqirha, kwaye iLizwi lithi, loo nto ngemivumbo yakhe siphilisiwe thina (uIsaya 53:5, 1 UPetros 2:24).
Oogqirha baphilisa kummandla wendalo ngolwazi lwabo lwenyama, ubulumko, amandla kunye neendlela zendalo. UYesu usebenza kwaye uphilisa kummandla womoya (oko kubonakala kummandla wendalo).
Abantu banokuthi uThixo ubasikelele oogqirha, kodwa thina ungafundi naphi na kwiTestamente eNdala kwaye iTestamente eNtsha ukuba uThixo, UYesu, okanye abapostile, thumela abantu kumagqirha (ogqirha).
Ngaba uYesu wathumela abantu abagulayo kuLuka ukuba baphiliswe?
Amanye amaKristu athi uLuka wayengugqirha. Kodwa ke kwakhona, UYesu nompostile abazange bathumele abantu abagulayo kuLuka ukuba baye kuphiliswa okanye baye kuxilongwa. Kwaye masingalibali, ukuba uYesu ukwabizwa ngokuba nguGqirha, ngoxa uYesu wayengenguye ugqirha.
Inzululwazi yezonyango ayisekelwanga kwiLizwi likaThixo kwaye ayiphefumlelwanga nguThixo. Inzululwazi yezonyango ayiveli kuBukumkani bukaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: UYehova Rapha, okanye oogqirha, ukhetho lolwakho).
Ukuthetha kwaye ukwenza izinto ezimbini ezahlukeneyo
Ngoku makhe sibuyele kuEzra. Xa ukumkani wanika uEzra umkhosi wokubakhusela, UEzra wavakalisa kukumkani ukuba uThixo uya kumnyamekela (zona) nokuba uThixo uya kubakhusela. Ngoko ke, babengadingi mkhosi wokubakhusela.UEzra ukholose ngoYehova waza waxelela ukumkani oku. Waxelela ukumkani ngoThixo usomandla nesithembiso sakhe. Ukumkani wamoyika uEzra, kuba wabona ukuba uThixo wayenoEzra.
Ngoko ubuya kucinga, ekuphumeni kwabo uEzra nabantu, besiya kwakha udonga lweYerusalem, bebengayi kufuna umkhosi ukubakhusela. Kungenxa yokuba uEzra wayekholelwa ukuba uThixo wayeza kubakhusela. UEzra wayekukholelwa oko, ngokuba uEzra wamxelela loo nto ukumkani.
Kodwa akwenzekanga oko. UEzra wathi uyakholwa, kodwa isenzo sikaEzra sangqineka ngenye indlela.
Wahamba uEzra indlela yakhe, UEzra wayefuna ukumkani afumane amajoni nabakhweli-mahashe ukuze abakhusele kutshaba.
Kodwa endleleni yabo, UEzra wayesazi ukuba kukho into engahambi kakuhle. Ngoko uEzra wema, akaqhubeka nendlela yakhe nabantu, amajoni, nabamahashe.
UEzra waziva eneentloni, ngokuba uEzra wayesazi, ukuba wayedanile uThixo. Wayemphoxile uThixo, ngokungathembeli ngokupheleleyo kuThixo. Wayethandabuza ukukhuselwa nguThixo. UEzra wayekholose ngenkuselo yokwenyama yomkhosi wamajoni. Wayenokholo olungakumbi kwinkuselo ebonakalayo yabantu, kunokhuseleko olungabonakaliyo lukaThixo. Nangokukholosa ngabantu endaweni kaThixo, ngesenzo sakhe uEzra waligatya ilizwi likaThixo.
Wamema ke uEzra uzilo ukuba aguquke esenzweni sakhe. UEzra nabantu bazithoba phambi koThixo baza bambongoza uThixo.
Uthando lukaThixo
Xa uEzra nabantu bazithobayo ngokuzila ukutya baza bambongoza uThixo, sibona Uthando lukaThixo kwaye i ubabalo lukaThixo. UThixo wababona, wabeva abantu bakhe, wathandaza kubo. Wayibona inguquko yabo noThixo, Ngenceba yakhe enkulu, wabaxolela.
Unokwenza isigqibo esingalunganga ebomini. Unokwenza into echasene neLizwi likaThixo kwaye ungene kwindlela engalunganga ebomini. Kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo, uya kwenza ntoni ngokulandelayo. Uza kwenza ntoni, xa ufumanisa ukuba akunjalo intando yeNkosi? nokuba ulishiyile iLizwi kwaye awusahambi ngendlela kaThixo.
Vumela intetho yakho kunye nokwenza umgca
Ukuba sizivuma izono zethu, Uthembekile kwaye usixolele izono zethu, kwaye usihlambulule kuyo yonke intswela-bulungisa (1 UYohane 1:9)
Ngaba uyaqhubeka kwaye wenze ngathi akukho nto yenzekileyo? Okanye uyayeka uguquke uzithobe phambi koThixo uvume, ukuba awuhambanga ngokuhambelana neLizwi laKhe? Ngaba ucela ukuxolelwa kwaye uguquke kwaye ufune Indlela yakhe okanye hayi?
Intetho yakho kunye nokwenza kwakho kufuneka kulandelelane. Musa ukuthetha enye into kodwa yenza enye. Ungahlali ulithetha ngeLizwi likaThixo, kodwa waqinise amazwi akho ngezenzo zakho, ukuze ube ngumenzi weLizwi.
Kuphela ukuba uthetha iLizwi kwaye wenze iLizwi uya kwakha phezu kwayo Dwala uYesu Kristu kwaye isiseko sakho siya komelela kwaye siqine. Izaqhwithi iya kuza ebomini bakho, kodwa ngenxa yokuba wakha phezu kweLiwa, uya kuhlala womelele, ungabi nakushukuma.
