Ngoba ngikholisiwe, ukuthi noma ukufa, noma ukuphila, noma izingelosi, noma izikhulu, noma amandla, noma izinto ezikhona, noma izinto ezizayo, noma ukuphakama, noma ukujula, nanoma yisiphi esinye isidalwa, lizokwazi ukusehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, okukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu (AmaRoma 8:38-39)
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu lubonakaliswa eNdodaneni Yakhe uJesu Kristu, Owabe wethu Ngena esikhundleni futhi wathatha zonke izono zethu kanye nobubi kanye nazo zonke izifo zethu, izifo, ubuthakathaka, nesijeziso sethu ngezono phezu kwakhe, ngenkathi Eya esigxotsheni sokushaywa futhi wafa esiphambanweni eKalvari.
UJesu wathwala imivimbo yethu emzimbeni Wakhe, Wathwala ubuthakathaka bethu emzimbeni Wakhe. Wabathwala bonke, ukuze sibe ukhululiwe emvelweni yesono futhi niphile enkululekweni futhi nibuyisane noBaba futhi nibe nobudlelwane noYise.
Umsebenzi wokuhlenga esiphambanweni kwaba kanye kuphela. Akekho, ongenza noma yini ngakho. Kwenziwa, kuyiqiniso futhi kulungiswe unomphela.
Bobabili uNkulunkulu uBaba kanye noJesu Kristu iNdodana babonise uthando Lwabo ngomsebenzi wokuhlenga esiphambanweni futhi akekho futhi akukho okungakushintsha lokho.. Akekho noyedwa futhi akukho okungasehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu.
Lapho uJesu wathi: “Kuqediwe“, kwakusho ukuthi kwase kuphelile futhi, Kanye nakho konke. uJesu’ kwenziwa umsebenzi. UJesu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe futhi wathululela igazi lakhe ngenxa yethu.
Igazi likaJesu Kristu
Ngakho-ke kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqhubeka sishumayela ngegazi likaJesu nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga esiphambanweni, okuyiumlayezo wokuphenduka kanye lokuthethelelwa kwezono.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngabantu
Umsebenzi esiphambanweni usikhombisa okukhulu Uthando lukaNkulunkulu kubantu. UNkulunkulu wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe yodwa ngenxa yethu, ukuze sibe amadodana kaNkulunkulu futhi sibuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi sihambe ebusheni bempilo futhi hambani egunyeni nasekubuseni kukaJesu Kristu njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba, njengoba nje noJesu wahamba egunyeni nasekubuseni kukaYise.
Ngomsebenzi wokuhlenga wesiphambano, Wasinika amandla okuba nempilo yokunqoba.
Wasinika amandla, ukuze babe amadodana kaNkulunkulu futhi baphile ngokulunga ekukhanyeni, esikhundleni sokuhlala ebugqilini bezono embusweni wobumnyama.
UNkulunkulu akafuni abantu bakhe baphile ebugqilini besono nokufa. Kodwa uNkulunkulu futhi akafuni abanye abantu baphile ebugqilini besono nokufa ebumnyameni.
Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu usinike umthwalo wemfanelo, njengamanxusa oMbuso waKhe, ukumela nokushumayela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba nokukhulula abantu ekucindezelweni kukadeveli, ongumbusi wombuso wobumnyama (Funda futhi: Uma amaKrestu ethule, oyakukhulula abathunjwa bobumnyama?).
UJesu usishiyele isibonelo futhi wasibonisa indlela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu okufanele ihambe ngayo emhlabeni. Manje sekuyithuba lethu.
Uma siMthanda, sizokwenza landela uJesu. Ukulandela izindlela, ukwenza into efanayo(s) njengoba Enzile. Akukhona ngentando yakho kodwa ngentando Yakhe.
UJesu usibonisile, ukuthi uma sidela ukuphila kwethu futhi sizithobe kuYe, futhi siphile kuYe; iZwi, singenza izinto ezifanayo noJesu. Futhi ngisho nezinto ezinkulu kunoJesu, Ngoba uJesu waya kuYise (UJohane 14:12).
Zithobe kuNkulunkulu futhi umelane noSathane
Ngakho zithobeni kuNkulunkulu. Melana nosathane, futhi uyonibalekela (UJames 4:7)
UJesu umnqobile udeveli futhi wathatha wonke amandla akhe. Nokho, usathane usenamandla okuhlasela, ngoba uSathane kaphonswa echibini lomlilo laphakade. Sisenempi kamoya okumele siyilwe futhi kusamele simelane nosathane. Ungamelana nodeveli kuphela ngokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu nasentandweni Yakhe futhi ungavumeli izilingo zikadeveli.
UJesu umnqobile udeveli futhi wamnqoba KONKE igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni.
Uma uzelwe kabusha kuKristu futhi uhlale kuye, unayo KONKE igunya kuJesu Kristu emazulwini nasemhlabeni.
UJesu Kristu wamnqoba udeveli futhi wabuyisela umuntu kuNkulunkulu
UJesu wamnqoba uSathane futhi wathatha kuye okhiye (isiphathimandla) wesihogo nabafileyo. UJesu wathwala zonke izifo nezifo esigxotsheni kanye nazo zonke izono esiphambanweni. Ngenxa yalokho wangena eHayidese. Kodwa ukufa kwakungenamandla okumgcina embusweni wokufa. Ngakho uJesu Kristu wakunqoba ukufa ngokuvuka Kwakhe.
Ngomsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga, UJesu wabuyisela ubuhlobo phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu esiwile.
Ngomsebenzi wesiphambano sikaJesu Kristu, UNkulunkulu usinike ikhono, ukuba babe ngamadodana kaNkulunkulu futhi, njengoba uNkulunkulu ayehlosile ekuqaleni ngo-Adamu (Luka 3:38).
UJesu wakhombisa ukuhamba kanjani egunyeni nasekubuseni kukaNkulunkulu Emhlabeni.
U-Adamu wehluleka, kodwa uJesu akazange ahluleke. UJesu wahlala ethembekile kuNkulunkulu futhi wamelana nodeveli.
UJesu naye walingwa udeveli ehlane, njengoba nje u-Adamu wayenjalo elingwa ensimini yase-Edene. Kodwa uJesu akazange avumele ukungabaza ukuba kungene engqondweni Yakhe futhi akazange adukiswe amazwi kadeveli anenkohliso.
Udeveli wazama ukuMyenga, Ngokusebenzisa amagama kaNkulunkulu ngendlela engafanele. Kodwa uJesu wayazi ukuthi ungubani futhi kwakungadingeki ukuthi azibonakalise noma asebenzise amazwi kaNkulunkulu ukuze agcwalise izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama..
UJesu wayemazi uYise kanye nentando Yakhe futhi wahlala ethembekile kuYise futhi wayezimisele ukufeza intando Yakhe.
Ngoba uJesu wayethanda uYise ngaphezu kwakho konke, UJesu wahamba ngokulalela intando kaYise futhi wagcina imiyalelo Yakhe. Ngokwethembeka nokulalela Kwakhe uNkulunkulu kanye namazwi Akhe uJesu washaya udeveli ngamazwi Akhe.
