Kunoko, baye baba lishishini lokuzonwabisa lentlalontle elisekelwe phezu kwemigaqo yehlabathi neemfundiso zenyama zomntu. Kwiicawa ezininzi, isono kunye nobugwenxa buninzi kwaye kukho amandla amancinci okanye akukho mandla kaThixo konke konke. Makhe sijonge oko uYesu akuthethayo ngokuhamba eluthandweni. Ngokuba, uhamba nini eluthandweni ngokwebhayibhile?
Ithini iBhayibhile ngokuhamba eluthandweni?
Ngokutsho kwebhayibhile, ukuhamba eluthandweni kuthetha ukugcina imiyalelo kaYesu Kristu. Xa uhamba ngothando, uya kuyigcina imiyalelo yaKhe kwaye wenze oko iLizwi likuxelela ukuba ukwenze.
Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo nam, nam ndikuthandile: Hlalani eluthandweni lwam. Ukuba niyayigcina imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, nihlale eluthandweni lwakhe (UYohane 15:9-10)
Njengoko kubhaliwe kumanqaku angaphambili, uthando ngommelwane wakho luqala ngokuthanda kwakho uYesu Kristu; ilizwi.
Uhleli kuYe, eLizwini. Ngoko ke kufuneka ulazi iLizwi. Ekuphela kwendlela yokumazi liLizwi (Ibhayibhile) ngokuba uYesu uliLizwi.
Xa uYesu uthando lwakho lokuqala, yaye uthando lwakho Ngaye lukhulu ngakumbi kunokuthanda ‘isiqu sakho’ kunye nehlabathi, kwaye konke okuphakathi, kungoko ke niya kuba nako umthande ummelwane wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako.
Xa uthanda ngaphandle kwenyama (ngaphandle kweemvakalelo neemvakalelo zakho), ke uthando lwakho ‘lolwemisebenzi yokufa’. Kodwa xa uthanda uphuma kuMoya, uze umthande uThixo kuqala ngentliziyo yakho iphela, ingqondo, umphefumlo, kunye namandla.
Ize ningahambi ngokwengqondo yenu, iziphumo, izimvo, kunye neemvakalelo. Kodwa hamba ngokweBhayibhile uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu. nize nibaxolele abanye, nibe nemfesane ebantwini;.
UYesu wahamba eluthandweni
UYesu wahamba eluthandweni ngokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo nangokugcina imiyalelo Yakhe. Wayengengomntu onqwenela izinto, Owacikidayo waza wamkela zonke izinto zomntu. UYesu wayengasoloko ethetha amazwi athambileyo, kodwa uYesu wathetha amazwi alukhuni, bajongana nabantu.
UYesu akazange alalanise yaye akazange ayamkele ihambo eyayichasene nokuthanda kukaYise. Yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uYesu akazange akholiswe sisono, ke yena wohlwaya umntu ngenxa yezono zakhe.
UYesu wayesazi, ukuba isono kukuvukela uThixo nokungathobeli ilizwi likaThixo. Isono asikhokeleli abantu enkululekweni nakubomi obungunaphakade kodwa ebukhobokeni bukaSathana nasekufeni okungunaphakade.
Thatha umzekelo utywala. Phezu kwazo nje izilumkiso eziseBhayibhileni, abantu abaninzi basela utywala kwaye bacinge ukuba bakhululekile. Nangona kunjalo, indlela yabo yenkululeko yabakhokelela ebukhobokeni bomtyholi. Umkhwa wabo wokusela wajika waba yin ukukhotyokiswa butywala oko kuya kutshabalalisa ubomi babo.
UYesu wazisa usindiso kubantu ababephila kubukhoboka besono. UYesu weza kukhulula abathinjwa. Wazisa uBukumkani bukaThixo waza wafundisa abantu iLizwi likaThixo. Abantu abaninzi baweva amazwi aKhe kwaye bamkholelwa kwaye baguquka ezonweni zabo.
Baye bancama ezabo Ubomi njengomoni wamlulamela. Bawathobela amazwi akhe, bamlandela.
Uhamba njani eluthandweni?
Njengoko uYise wathumela uYesu kunye noYesu wazinikela kuYise kwaye wahamba eluthandweni ngokugcina uYise imiyalelo kaYise, ke uthunywe nguYesu kwaye kufuneka unikezele kuYesu uhambe eluthandweni ngokugcina imiyalelo yakhe (2 UYohane 1:6).
Abangcwele kufuneka balulekane ngothando. Ukuze wonke umKristu aqhubeke ehamba eluthandweni kwindlela emxinwa ekhokelela kubomi obungunaphakade.
Xa ubona umzalwana okanye udade ephila esonweni, sibuyela esonweni rhoqo, ukungathobeli iBhayibhile, okanye ukulandela enye imfundiso engavisisaniyo neLizwi likaThixo, ke ngumsebenzi wakho ukululeka nokululeka umntakwenu okanye udadewenu.
Ukuba uyamthanda umntakwenu nodade wenu, uya kumluleka kwaye/okanye umlungise. Ukuze loo mntu aguquke aze asindiswe. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Lowo imthandayo iNkosi iyamqeqesha, imtyakatye;)
Ukuba awukhathali ngommelwane wakho, uyawuvala umlomo. Uya kuyamkela yonke into eyenziwa ngulo mntu, umyeke aqhubeke ehamba ngemvukelo nokungamthobeli uThixo; Ezono kunye nobugwenxa, endleleni yakhe eya esihogweni.
Kodwa ukuba uyamkhathalela ummelwane wakho kwaye unemfesane kaYesu Kristu, wowuvula ke umlomo wakho, shumayela inyaniso yeLizwi likaThixo, kwaye umohlwaye ngenxa yesono. Ngokwenza oko, uya kumnika ubomi umntu, umthintele ukuba angangeni esihogweni.
Ngoko hamba eluthandweni lukaYesu; Mthande uYesu kwaye ugcine yonke imiyalelo yakhe.
