EBhayibhileni kuYohane 15:1-8, Wathi uYesu, Mna ndingumdiliya wenyaniso, kwaye uBawo ungumlimi; onke amasebe akum angavelisi siqhamo uyawasusa; onke athwala isiqhamo uyawathena., ukuze sivelise isiqhamo esingakumbi. Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu? Kuthetha ukuba uYesu Kristu, Unyana Wokalá ophilayo, ngumdiliya wenyaniso, kwaye uThixo uYise nguMntu. UMyeni unyamekela amasebe, ukuze isebe libe namasebe axakatha isiqhamo esininzi. Wonke umntu, okholwayo kuYesu Krestu kwaye uzelwe ngokutsha kuye kwaye ke ngoko ufile wavuselwa kuye, uzelwe nguThixo kwaye uya kukhula kuYesu Kristu; uMdiliya wenyaniso. Isebe linokuthwala isiqhamo kuphela ukuba lihlala kuMdiliya. Ukuba ngoko isebe alithwali siqhamo, kukho into engalunganga ngesebe. Makhe sijonge nzulu ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba uYesu ungumdiliya wenyaniso kwaye wathini uYesu malunga namasebe kunye nendima yoMlimi..
Kutheni uBawo, Ngubani uMyeni, susani onke amasebe angavelisi siqhamo?
Mna ndingumdiliya wenyaniso, kwaye uBawo waM nguMnini. Onke amasebe akum angathwali siqhamo uyawasusa: nawo onke amasebe athwala isiqhamo, Uyayicoca, ukuze sivelise isiqhamo esingakumbi. Ngoku niyicocekile ngelizwi endilithethileyo kuni. Hlala kum, kwaye ndikuwe. Njengokuba isebe lingenako ukuthwala isiqhamo ngokwalo, ngaphandle kokuba alihlali emdiliyeni; aninako kwakhona, ukuba anihlalanga kum. Mna ndingumdiliya, Nina ningamasebe: lowo uhleli kum, nam mna, Lo ke uthwala isiqhamo esininzi: kuba, ningekum, aninakwenza nto. Ukuba umntu uthe akahlali kum, ulahlelwa phandle njengesebe, kwaye ibunile; bawabuthe abantu, wabaphosa emlilweni, kwaye zitshiswe. Ukuba nihlala kum, kwaye amazwi am ahlala kuwe, Niya kubuza ukuba nithanda ntoni na?, Kwaye kuya kwenziwa kuwe. Uzukiswa uBawo ngale nto, enithwala isiqhamo kakhulu; Niya kuba ngabafundi bam, (UYohane 15:1-8)
UYesu akatsho, ukuba uMlimi uya kuwayeka amasebe angavelisi siqhamo kuMdiliya. Kodwa uYesu uthi, ukuba uMninimzi uyawasusa onke amasebe angavelisi siqhamo. Kuba xa isebe lingavelisi siqhamo libonisa ukuba kukho into engalunganga ngesebe. Isebe alisebenzi ngendlela elicinga ukuba lisebenze ngayo. ngaphandle koko, isebe alizuzi nto kwaye liyinzuzo kuMlimi kwaye lithintela uMdiliya ukuba uthwalele uMlimi ngamasebe.
Ngoko ke, isisombululo kuphela, ukususa isebe kuMdiliya, ukuze kukhule elinye isebe kumdiliya, oko kuya kuthwala isiqhamo.
Isebe alinakuzivelisela isiqhamo ngokwalo, ngaphandle koMdiliya. Ngoko ke, abo bangavelisi siqhamo akahlali emdiliyeni.
Oku kuthetha ukuba abo, abangahlaliyo kuYesu Kristu; iLizwi kwaye ungakwenzi oko Akuthethayo, kwaye ungathobeli Imithetho yakhe, ayiyi kuthwala siqhamo.
Bazi abangathobeliyo kuYe kwaye uphile ngokuvukela kuye. Bathembele kubo kwaye abaphili ngokwento ethethwa liLizwi, kodwa baphila ngokokuthethwa yinyama yabo nehlabathi.
Ukuba umntu akathwali siqhamo, (s)ucinga ukuba uyazala, ingqina ukuba umntu akakho kuYesu Kristu. Ngokuba ngesiqhamo, uya kumazi umntu kwaye uya kumazi ukuba ngokabani na: UYesu okanye uMtyholi (Funda kwakhona: Umdiliya waseSodom).
23: Kuba isono kukunxaxha komthetho. Niyazi ke ukuba yena wabonakaliswa, ukuze azithwale azisuse izono zethu;; kwaye kuye akukho sono kuye. Bonke abahlala kuye aboni: Bonke aboni abangambonanga, Ayamazi.
Bantwana abancinci, Makungabikho mntu ukhathalelayo: Owenza ubulungisa ulilungisa, njengokuba elungile. Lowo wenza isono esenziwa nguMtyholi; Kuba uMtyholi wonile kwasekuqalekeni. Ngenxa yale njongo, uNyana kaThixo wabonakaliswa, ukuze ayonakalise imisebenzi kaMtyholi. Bonke abo bazelwe nguThixo abayi kwenza isono,; ngokuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kuye: kwaye akanakona, ngokuba ezelwe nguThixo (1 UYohane 3:4-9)
ILizwi lithi, oko ngesiqhamo sobomi bomntu, uya kumazi ukuba ngokabani na. Ukuba niyanyamezela esonweni nize niqhubeke nizenza ezo zinto, engangqinelani nokuthanda kukaThixo, ke awumazi uYesu Krestu kwaye awungowakhe. Ngenxa yokuba awuvelisi siqhamo sobulungisa kwaye awumphakamisi kwaye uzukise uYesu Kristu noYise, ke nina nithwala isiqhamo sokungalungisi, isiqhamo sesono, kwaye uphakamise kwaye zukisa uMtyholi.
Indawo yokugqibela amasebe, abaphila kwimvukelo nangenxa yokungakholwa nokungathobeli iLizwi abahlali kuMdiliya wenyaniso kwaye bangavelisi siqhamo., baya kulahlelwa ngaphandle, bome ngokomoya, ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo, bahlanganiswe, baphoswe emlilweni, batshiswe..
Utata, ngubani uMyeni, ahlambulule amasebe, ukuze bavelise isiqhamo esingakumbi
Kwaye ngoku, abantwana abancinci, hlalani kuye; loo nto, xa ebonakala, sinokuba nentembelo, ningabi nazintloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe. Ukuba niyazi ukuba ulilungisa, niyazi ukuba bonke abenza ubulungisa bazelwe nguye (1 UYohane 2:28-29).
UBawo akasusi nje amasebe angavelisi siqhamo, kodwa uBawo uyawahlambulula, okanye uyawathena amasebe, abo bahlala kumdiliya wenyaniso bethwele iziqhamo. Ukuze amasebe, ezithwala isiqhamo, iya kuthwala isiqhamo esingakumbi.
Njengabantwana abathobelayo, ayizukuzonwabisa ngokwangaphambili: Ke, njengokuba enibizayo, ungcwele, Ke yibani ngcwele ngandlela zonke zencoko; Kuba kubhaliwe, Yiba ngcwele; Kuba ndingcwele. (1 UPetros 1:14-16)
Wonke umntu, othe wahlanjululwa esonweni waza wenziwa ngcwele waza wamalungisa ngoYesu Kristu negazi lakhe waza waba ngunyana kaThixo, uya kudlula kwinkqubo yongcwaliso. Unokuthelekisa le nkqubo kunye nokuthenwa kwamasebe.
Umntu uya kuthenwa kwaye ahlanjululwe nguYise kubo bonke ubumdaka ngeLizwi lakhe. Ithetha ukuba, ukuba umntu uya kuzithoba kuThixo nakwiLizwi lakhe kwaye uya kufundiswa, ingqeqesho, ilungisiwe, waqeqeshwa nguBawo, NgeLizwi lakhe (IsiHebhere 12:6).
Amazwi kaThixo aya kungcwalisa kwaye abahlambulule abo, abahlala eLizwini benze oko likutshoyo iLizwi. Amanye amagama anokuba nzima, Ukujongana, buhlungu, okanye kunzima ukuthobela. Kodwa kuyimfuneko ukubathobela, ukuze ukhule ube ngumfanekiso kaKristu kwaye uthwale isiqhamo esifanayo.
Ngalo lonke ixesha uhleli kuye kwaye wenze oko akuthethayo, uya kuhlanjululwa ngamazwi akhe, uyisuse imisebenzi yenyama kaYehova indoda endala. Xa ususa imisebenzi yenyama, uza ku likhuphe ixhego, kwaye xa uthobela amazwi kaThixo uya kwenza yambathani umntu omtsha nihambe ngokholo ngokoMoya (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ukuhlamba amanzi eLizwi‘).
Ukuhlala kuMdiliya wenyaniso, UYESU khristu, nokuba ngumeyisi
Awuyi kuhlanjululwa kuphela ngamazwi aKhe, kodwa uBawo uya kuzivumela iimeko, iimeko, kunye nobunzima, ukuze wenze likhuphe ixhego kwaye yambathani umntu omtsha kwaye ufunde ukuthembela kuYe kwaye ufunde ukulawula iLizwi kwimfazwe yasemoyeni, ukuze uqole ngokomoya kwaye womelele.
Endaweni yokungqiba, ukukhala, ekhalaza, uloyiko, nokutshona ngaphakathi Imfesane, uya kuba nengqondo yokoyisa kwaye uya kuvela njengophumeleleyo, ngokuthobela iLizwi.
Ukuba ufuna ukoyisa kwaye ube yintshatsheli, ufuna ubunzima, iingxabano, okanye amadabi omele woyiswe. Kuba umeyisi kufuneka oyise into ethile.
Awunako ukuba ngumeyisi ngaphandle kokweyisa into.
Ngoko ke, xa usithi ungowoyisileyo kwaye ungumeyisi kuYesu Kristu, udinga ubunzima kunye namadabi omoya. Ukuze ube nokungqina, ukuba oko ukuthethayo kuyinyaniso.
Ungathetha zonke izinto, kodwa ekugqibeleni, izenzo zakho zingqina ukuba yinyani into oyithethayo okanye hayi.
Kuzo zonke iimeko ezinzima, ingxabano yokomoya, okanye idabi, uyakuba nethuba lokuzibonakalisa ukuba ungowoyisileyo kuYesu Krestu kwaye ungowoyise kuYe.
Luxanduva lwakho isiqhamo osithwalayo
Umdiliya awunaxanduva ngeziqhamo ezithwalwa amasebe. Kuba kungenjalo, uMyeni ebengazukususa nje amasebe, oko akuvelisi siqhamo, kodwa kananjalo uMdiliya. Kwaye ayisiyiyo into awayithethayo uYesu. Wathi uYesu, ukuba uMninimzi uya kuwasusa kuphela amasebe angavelisi siqhamo. Ngoko ke amasebe anoxanduva lokuthwala isiqhamo.
Ithetha ukuba, ukuba uThixo uBawo akanaxanduva lokuthwala isiqhamo yaye uYesu akanambopheleleko yokuthwala isiqhamo, kodwa uxanduva lwakho lokuthwala isiqhamo.
UYesu, uMdiliya wenyaniso, uthwala amasebe kwaye okoko nje amasebe ehleli kumdiliya wenyaniso, amasebe aya kucocwa kwaye ondliwe nguMdiliya wenyaniso kwaye athwale isiqhamo ekucingelwa ukuba uya kusithwala.
Ukuba uthatha amazwi kaBawo, ngamazwi lawo awawathobelayo uYesu wasinika wona, uze uwathobele amazwi akhe, ke ngoko wenze oko akuxelela kona ukuba ukwenze, uya kuhlala Intando yakhe nihlale kuye.
NgoMoya oyiNgcwele, udityaniswe noYesu Krestu noBawo kwaye uhlala kubo kwaye bahlala kuwe. Nje ngeziphumo, niya kuthwala isiqhamo esifanayo nesikaYesu.
“Ukuba nithe nahlala kum, kwaye amazwi am ahlala kuwe,
uya kucela into osukuba uyithanda, Kwaye kuya kwenziwa kuwe”
Ukuba uhlala eLizwini kwaye iLizwi lihlala kuwe, wocela into osukuba uyithanda, woyenzelwa. Ngokuba ukuba iLizwi lihlala ngaphakathi kuwe, ubuze ezo zinto, ezingokwentando kaBawo, ukuze uYesu noYise baphakanyiswe, bazukiswe. Uya kugxila kuBukumkani bukaThixo kwaye ubize ezo zinto zingekhoyo, ngokungathi banjalo, ukuze uBukumkani Bakhe bumiselwe emhlabeni.
Aniyi kungqiba nibuze nto, eziphuma kwiinkanuko kunye neminqweno yenyama yakho kwaye zijikeleze wena kunye nobukumkani bakho. Ngokuba, okoko uthandaza ngokuzingcaimithandazo yomphefumlo, uyangqina ukuba inyama yakho isaphila kwaye ilawula njengenkosi ebomini bakho.
Wathi uYesu, ukuba ningaxhaleli nto, aze uBawo aniphathele zonke iintswelo zenu.
Ukuba ukuthembisile, ukuba uya kukunika zonke iintswelo zakho, akuyi kufuneka ubuze kuThixo ngayo, kodwa ulindele ukuba uThixo akunike.
Gxila kuBukumkani bukaThixo kwaye ujonge okujikelezileyo kwaye ubone ukuba zeziphi na izinto ezingekhoyo ngokuthanda kukaBawo kwaye utshintshe oko nge i.e. umthandazo. Umthandazo sisiseko sawo wonke umsebenzi wekholwa.
UThixo ukwenzile wadala yonke indalo ngeLizwi laKhe noMoya oyiNgcwele waKhe. Ukuba amazwi akhe ahlala kuni, uze uthethe amazwi akhe. UMoya oyiNgcwele uya kuwanika amandla amazwi kaThixo owathethayo kwaye ke uya kuzibiza ezo zinto zingekhoyo ngokungathi bezikho kwaye wenze yonke into ibekho., oko kungokokuthanda kukaThixo.
Nina intambiso enayamkelayo kuye ihleli kuni, anifuni ukuba nifundiswe ngubani: kusuke, kwanjengokuba kwaloo ntambiso inifundisa ngeento zonke, kwaye iyinyani, kwaye asibobuxoki, nanjengokuba yanifundisayo, hlalani kuye (1 UYohane 2:27).
Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukwazi iLizwi kwaye ungafikelela ekulazini iLizwi ngokuchitha ixesha kunye neLizwi.. Thabatha amazwi kaThixo. Funda kwaye ufunde iLizwi kwaye hlaziya ingqondo yakho Ngamazwi akhe, ukuze ingqondo yakho ihlambuluke kuyo yonke inkunkuma yehlabathi.
Funda iLizwi kuwo wonke umxholo kwaye ungakhethi kwaye ukhethe amagama, uze nethiyori eyeyakho yenyama. Kodwa wathabatheni amazwi kaThixo, nicamngce ngawo, nithandaze, yaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uya kunifundisa kuyo yonke inyaniso kaThixo.
ILizwi liyityhilile yonke into
UThixo uye wazisa yonke into ngeLizwi lakhe kwisidalwa esitsha, omoya uvusiweyo kwabafileyo, ube nako ukuliqonda ilizwi ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Ezo, abangazalwanga ngokutsha nabamoya wabo usafile, ngoko ke basengabomoya, abayi kuba nako ukuliqonda nokuliqonda iLizwi. Baza kuyigqala iBhayibhile njengeNcwadi yobudenge ephelelwe lixesha, oko kugcwele ukuphikisana.
Kodwa kwabo, abazelwe ngokutsha baze bahlale kumdiliya wenyaniso, UYESU khristu, namazwi akhe, enze nemithetho yakhe, baya kuhlala eluthandweni lwakhe, babe nobomi, uxolo, kunye novuyo.
UYesu; ILizwi linityhilele yonke into ayithethileyo uBawo. Amazwi kaBawo ngamazwi Akhe kunye namazwi kaYesu, angamazwi kaBawo lawo, mayibe ngamazwi enu enihlala kuwo imihla ngemihla.
