Umntu omdala uhlala efuna ukubuyela kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye akakwazi ukuyeka ixesha elidlulileyo. Abantu abaninzi, kuquka namaKristu, phila ngeentlungu ezininzi, buhlungu, usizi, iasango, kunye nentiyo, oko kubangelwa kwixesha elidlulileyo. Baye baphathwa kakubi, ngokwasemzimbeni kunye/okanye ngokwasengqondweni, utyholwa ngobuxoki, baye bafumana ukwenzakala, okanye .... uyayibiza ngegama. Yonke imihla yobomi babo, baphila ngosizi kwaye balawulwa kwaye bathuthunjiswa zezi mvakalelo zibi, ngelixa ubamba abanye ukuba baphendule. Bafuna uxolo, phindezelani ukuziphindezela, kwaye baqinisekise ukuba baya kohlwaywa ngenxa yobubi nentswela-bulungisa eyenziwe kubo. Bacinga, ukuba xa becela uxolo, phindezelani, kwaye wohlwaye umntu, iintlungu zabo ziya kuphela kwaye banokuqhubeka nobomi babo. Kodwa inyaniso kukuba, ukuba kungabikho nanye kwezi zinto, uya kuyisusa intlungu, kwaye iya kubakhulula kwezi mvakalelo nakwixesha elidlulileyo. Yaye maninzi amaKristu angamakhoboka exesha elidluleyo. Uthini ngawe? Ngaba ulikhoboka lexesha elidlulileyo? Ithini iBhayibhile ngokuba likhoboka lamandulo noko umele ukwenze ukuze ukhululeke kubomi obudluleyo ukuze uphile ngokukhululekileyo??
Izinto ezindala zidlule, Zonke izinto zintsha
Ke ngoko, ukuba ubani uthe wakuKrestu,, Usisidalwa esitsha: izinto ezindala zidlulisiwe; khangela, Zonke izinto zintsha (2 KwabaseKorinte 5:17)
Xa ukholelwa kuYesu Kristu kwaye uzalwa ngokutsha emoyeni, ixesha lakho elidlulileyo liza kudlula. Walala phantsi ixhego, apho idlule idlule.
Umntu omdala nazo zonke izono zakhe kunye nobugwenxa ubethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu kwaye akasekho. Ixhego lingcwatyelwe apha amanzi.
Kodwa anifelanga kuKristu kuphela, kodwa navuswa kubo ubomi obutsha.
Inyama yenu enesono ifile kuKristu, nomoya wakho, owayefile, ivusiwe kwabafileyo.
Umoya wakho, eyayifile, uphile kwaye uya kulawula ebomini bakho kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele, enamamkela ngobhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele;.
Aniyi kuba salawulwa yinyama yenu; iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, iingcinga, iziphumo, njl.. Kodwa niya kulawulwa ngumoya wenu nangoMoya oyiNgcwele, abanxibelelene noYesu Kristu noYise.
Uya kuhamba emva koMoya ngokweLizwi ngokwentando yakhe, endaweni yokuhamba ngokwenyama ngokokuthanda kwakho. Niya kufuna izinto zaphezulu, kwaye hayi izinto, ezikulo mhlaba.
Ukuba ngoko ke niyavuka kunye noKristu, funa ezo zinto zingaphezulu, apho uKrestu uhlala ngasekunene kukaThixo. Misela uthando lwakho kwizinto zaphezulu, hayi kwizinto emhlabeni. Kuba nifile, Kwaye ubomi bakho bufihliwe noKristu kuThixo. Xa uKristu, ngubani ubomi bethu, iya kubonakala, ngelo xesha niya kubonakalaliswa nani, ninaye ebuqaqawulini (KwabaseKolose 3:1-3)
Ungahlangulwa njani kwixesha elidlulileyo?
Xa sele uyindalo entsha, Enye yezinto zokuqala uMoya oyiNgcwele aya kuyenza ngawe kukuxolela abanye. Uya kubaxolela abo, abaye bakuphatha kakubi okanye bakuphatha kakubi (okanye usapho lwakho). Awusayi kuphinda ucinge ngexesha elidlulileyo. Kwaye ukuba ucinga ngexesha elidlulileyo, ayisabuhlungu.
Abantu abaninzi, kuquka namaKristu, ndisahamba ngeentlungu ezininzi, umsindo, nentiyo kwabanye ngenxa yoko kwenzeka kwixesha elidluleyo. Bathwalisa abanye uxanduva, ngenxa yoko kwenziwa kubo okanye kusapho lwabo kwixesha elidlulileyo.
Kodwa ukuba amakholwa, hamba ngeentlungu ezingaka, umsindo, kunye neemvakalelo zentiyo kwabanye kwaye zisafuna impindezelo, bonakalisa ukuba abakakhululwa bakhululwe kuYesu Krestu.
Basabambekile kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye abakabi yindalo entsha. Kodwa baseyindalo endala, osoloko ejonge ngasemva kwaye ebambelele kwixesha elidlulileyo.
Ngenxa yokuba indalo entsha, owamanywa noYesu Kristu, unyana kaThixo (kokubini amadoda nabafazi), ayifuni naluphi na uxolo okanye impindezelo kwaye ayifuni kuziphindezela, kodwa woxolela kuphela. Emveni kwakho konke, baxolelwe nguThixo baza bahlanjululwa kuzo zonke izono zabo nobugwenxa babo. UThixo akasayicingi into abayenzileyo (ngokuchasene Naye) ngaphambili kwaye akasabagcineli nqala. Ngoko kutheni besenza oko?
Isidalwa esitsha siyaxolela kuba uthando lukaThixo lwangena entliziyweni yakhe kwaye lulawula entliziyweni yakhe. Nangona kunjalo, uthando lukaThixo lolunye uhlobo lothando, ngaphezu koko ihlabathi likubiza ngokuba luthando.
I Uthando lukaThixo luthando olungabuyiseli ububi ngobubi okanye ukuziphindezela. Uthando lukaThixo alujongi emva kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye alufuni kuziphindezela okanye ukuziphindezela, kodwa uyaxolela. Luthando lokuzincama, loo nto ayifuni ngokwayo, loo nto ayinanzondo kwabanye njl. Olu luthando, apho indalo entsha ingena khona.
Umtyholi ufuna amaKristu aqhubeke engamakhoboka exesha elidlulileyo
Umtyholi ufuna amaKristu ajonge ngasemva aze abuyele emva kwixesha elidlulileyo. Ngale ndlela uyaqinisekisa, ukuba abantu baya kubambelela kwixa elidluleyo baze bonganyelwe zizo zonke iintlobo zeemvakalelo ezingakhiyo. Sibona ngakumbi nangakumbi, ukuba abantu baqhubeka bemba iziganeko ezidlulileyo kwaye bazenze isihloko somhla kwakhona. Kodwa badla ngokungaziqondi iintlungu, buhlungu, nomsindo abawubangelayo kubomi babantu abaninzi. Kwaye kunjalo ngokuchanekileyo, into ayifunayo usathana.
UMtyholi ufuna ukugcina abantu ebukhobokeni. Ufuna abantu baphile kwixesha elidlulileyo ukuze babambeke, kwaye bathuthunjiswe imini nemini.
Logama nje umntu ehleli ebotshelelwe kwixesha elidlulileyo, (s)uya kuhlala alikhoboka lamandulo, kwaye abasayi kuhamba kubomi obutsha kuYesu Kristu.
Umntu uya kuhlala ebukhobokeni hayi enkululekweni.
Kodwa uThixo akafuni ukuba uhlale ulikhoboka lexesha elidlulileyo. UThixo akafuni ukuba uqhubeke uphila kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye ulawulwe lixesha lakho elidlulileyo.
UThixo akafuni ukuba ukhumbule kwaye ucinge ngezinto zakudala zakudala. Uthi:
Musani ukuzikhumbula izinto zangaphambili, ningagqali ngezinto zamandulo. Khangela, Ndiya kwenza into entsha; ngoku iya kuntshula; aniyi kuyazi na? (uIsaya 43:18-19)
Inkululeko kwizinto zangaphambili ngokuxolela
UYesu wayesazi, ukuba kuphela indlela yokujongana nexesha elidlulileyo kunye nokuyeka ixesha elidlulileyo, kungokuxolelwa. Ukuxolela kuphela kwendlela yokuyeka ixesha elidlulileyo kwaye ulibale elidlulileyo.
Xa usamkela uYesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho kwaye ube sisidalwa esitsha, ngamanzi nomoya, ixesha lakho elidlulileyo liza kudlula. UThixo akasakhumbuli ixesha lakho elidlulileyo, licinywa ngegazi likaYesu. Ukuxolele! Inkulu kangakanani inceba kaThixo! Ukuba uThixo akakhumbuli ixesha lakho elidlulileyo, akufanele ukhumbule ixesha lakho elidlulileyo.
Kwaye wena, nifile nje ziziphoso nakukungaluki kwenyama yenu, udlise ubomi kunye naye, enixolele zonke iziphoso; Ukucima ukubhalwa kwesandla imimiselo eyayichasene nathi, eyayiphikisana nathi, kwaye wayikhupha endleleni, embethelela emnqamlezweni; Kwaye ukuba upentelwe amandla kunye namandla, wababonisa ekuhleni, Ukuloyisa kubo (KwabaseKolose 2:13-15)
Ukuba awukwazi ukuxolela abanye, uBawo akayi kunixolela
Kuba xa nithi nibaxolele abantu izigqitho zabo, UYihlo osezulwini uya kunixolela: Kodwa ukuba anixoleli ngabantu ngeziphoso zabo, noYihlo akayi kunixolela iziphoso zenu (UMateyu 6:14-15)
UYesu uthi, ukuba awukwazi ukuxolela abanye, uya kwandula ke uBawo anixolele.
Ngoko ke, ndiyeke ixesha elidlulileyo, ukuze niphile! Baxolele abo, abakonileyo. Xa ubaxolela abo, abakonileyo, UYesu uyakuzisusa zonke iintlungu zakho, nazo zonke ezi mvakalelo zimbi, ezinxibelelene neentlungu zakho. UYesu uya kuzisusa ebomini bakho, ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele.
Xa uYesu ekukhulula kwezi mvakalelo, uya kuphila, kwaye awusayi kuba likhoboka lamandulo. Uya kukhululwa kwaye uya kuphila kubomi obutsha; enkululekweni kaYesu Kristu.
