Ikhehla lihlale lifuna ukubuyela emuva futhi alikwazi ukudedela okwedlule. Abantu abaningi, kuhlanganise namaKristu, phila ngobuhlungu obukhulu, ubuhlungu, ukudabuka, ukuthukuthela, futhi inzondo, lokho kudalwa esikhathini esedlule. Baye baphathwa kabi, ukuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba kanye/noma ngokwengqondo, amangalelwe ngamanga, bezwe ukuhlukumezeka, noma…. uyisho. Zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwabo, baphila ngosizi futhi balawulwa futhi bahlukunyezwe yile mizwa engemihle, kuyilapho abanye bephendula. Bafuna ukuxolisa, ukuziphindisela ukuze uthole, futhi baqinisekise ukuthi bazojeziswa ngobubi nokungabi nabulungisa okwenziwa kubo. Bacabanga, ukuthi uma bexolisa, ziphindiselela, futhi ajezise umuntu, ubuhlungu bazo buzophela futhi baqhubeke nempilo yabo. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ukuthi kungabi nalutho lwalezi zinto, izosusa ubuhlungu, futhi izobahlenga kule mizwa nangesikhathi esedlule. Futhi amaKristu amaningi ayizigqila zesikhathi esidlule. Kuthiwani ngawe? Ingabe uyisigqila sesikhathi esidlule? Lithini iBhayibheli ngokuba yisigqila sesikhathi esidlule nokuthi yini okumelwe ukwenze ukuze ukhululwe ezintweni ezidlule ukuze uphile ngokukhululeka?
Izinto ezindala zidlulile, zonke izinto ziba zintsha
Ngakho-ke uma noma yimuphi umuntu kuKristu, Uyisidalwa esisha: Izinto ezindala zidlulile; bheka, zonke izinto ziba zintsha (2 AbaseKorinte 5:17)
Lapho ukholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi uzalwa ngokusha emoyeni, okwedlule kuzodlula. Lala phansi ikhehla, lapho okwedlule kudlulile.
Umuntu omdala nazo zonke izono zakhe nobubi ubethelwe esiphambanweni noKristu futhi akasekho. Ikhehla lingcwatshwa endaweni amanzi.
Kodwa anifelanga kuKristu kuphela, kodwa navuswa ekuphileni okusha.
Inyama yenu enesono ifile kuKristu, nomoya wakho, owayefile, uvuswe kwabafileyo.
Umoya wakho, eyayifile, uyaphila futhi uzobusa empilweni yakho kanye noMoya oNgcwele, Enimamukele ngobhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele..
Ngeke usabuswa inyama yakho; izinzwa, imizwelo, imicabango, okutholakele, njll.. Kodwa lizabuswa ngumoya wakho kanye loMoya oNgcwele, abaxhumene noJesu Kristu noYise.
Niyakuhamba ngokulandela uMoya ngokweZwi ngokwentando yakhe, esikhundleni sokuhamba ngokwenyama ngokwentando yakho. niyakufuna okwaphezulu, futhi hhayi izinto, ezikulomhlaba.
Uma ngabe uvukile noKristu, funa lezo zinto ezingenhla, Lapho uKristu ehlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. Setha uthando lwakho ezintweni ezingenhla, hhayi ezintweni ezisemhlabeni. Ngokuba nifile, nokuphila kwenu kufihliwe noKristu kuNkulunkulu. Lapho uKristu, ngubani ukuphila kwethu, izovela, khona nani nizakubonakala kanye naye enkazimulweni (AbaseKolose 3:1-3)
Ungakhululwa kanjani esikhathini esidlule?
Lapho usuyisidalwa esisha, enye yezinto zokuqala uMoya oNgcwele azoyenza ngawe ukuthethelela abanye. Uzobaxolela labo, abakuphathe kabi noma bakuphathe kabi (noma umndeni wakho). Ngeke usacabanga ngesikhathi esedlule. Futhi uma ucabanga ngesikhathi esedlule, akusabuhlungu.
Abantu abaningi, kuhlanganise namaKristu, ngisahamba nobuhlungu obukhulu, intukuthelo, kanye nenzondo ngabanye ngenxa yalokho okwenzeka esikhathini esidlule. Bathwesa abanye icala, ngalokho okwenziwa kubo noma emndenini wabo esikhathini esidlule.
Kodwa uma amakholwa, hamba nobuhlungu obungaka, intukuthelo, kanye nemizwa yenzondo ngabanye futhi isadinga ukuziphindiselela, fakazela ukuthi abakakhululwa futhi bakhululwe kuJesu Kristu.
Basabambekile esikhathini esedlule futhi abakabi yindalo entsha. Kodwa baseyindalo endala, ohlale ebheka emuva futhi abambelele esikhathini esedlule.
Ngoba indalo entsha, osekuJesu Kristu, indodana kaNkulunkulu (kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), ayidingi ukuxolisa noma ukuphindisela futhi ayifuni ukuziphindiselela ukuze iziphindiselele, kodwa uzothethelela kuphela. Ngemva kwakho konke, sebethethelelwe uNkulunkulu futhi bahlanzwa kuzo zonke izono zabo kanye nobubi babo. UNkulunkulu akasacabangi ngalokho abakwenzile (ngokumelene Naye) esikhathini esidlule futhi akasabambele igqubu. Pho kungani bekwenza lokho?
Indalo entsha iyathethelela ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwangena enhliziyweni yakhe futhi lubusa enhliziyweni yakhe. Nokho, uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngolunye uhlobo lothando, kunalokhu izwe elikubiza ngokuthi uthando.
I Uthando lukaNkulunkulu uthando olungabuyiseli okubi ngokubi noma oluphindiselayo. Uthando lukaNkulunkulu alubheki emuva futhi alufuni ukuziphindiselela noma ukuziphindiselela, kodwa uyathethelela. Luwuthando lokuzidela, lokho akuzifuni, lokho akuyona inzondo kwabanye njll. Uthando lolu, lapho isidalwa esisha singena khona.
UDeveli ufuna amaKristu ahlale eyizigqila zesikhathi esidlule
Udeveli ufuna amaKristu abheke emuva futhi abuyele emuva. Ngale ndlela uyaqinisekisa, ukuthi abantu bazobambelela esikhathini esidlule futhi bagajwe yizo zonke izinhlobo zemizwa engemihle. Sibona okwengeziwe, ukuthi abantu balokhu bemba izehlakalo ezedlule futhi bazenze isihloko sosuku futhi. Kodwa ngokuvamile ababuqapheli ubuhlungu, ubuhlungu, kanye nentukuthelo abayidalayo ezimpilweni zabantu abaningi. Futhi kunjalo impela, lokho uSathane akufunayo.
UDeveli ufuna ukugcina abantu ebugqilini. Ufuna abantu baphile kudala ukuze babambeke, futhi bahlukunyezwe usuku nosuku.
Inqobo nje uma umuntu ehlala eboshiwe ngokwedlule, (s)uyohlala eyisigqila sakudala, futhi kayikuhamba ebusheni bempilo kuJesu Kristu.
Umuntu uyophila ebugqilini hhayi enkululekweni.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu akafuni ukuba uhlale uyisigqila sesikhathi esidlule. UNkulunkulu akafuni ukuthi uqhubeke uphila esikhathini esedlule futhi ulawulwe yisikhathi sakho esidlule.
UNkulunkulu akafuni ukuthi ukhumbule futhi ucabangele izinto zakudala zesikhathi sakho esidlule. Uthena:
Ningazikhumbuli izinto zakuqala, futhi ungacabangi izinto zasendulo. Bheka, Ngizokwenza into entsha; khathesi lizahluma; aniyikukwazi yini? (Isaya 43:18-19)
Inkululeko kusukela esikhathini esidlule ngokuthethelela
UJesu wayazi, ukuthi kuphela indlela yokubhekana nokwedlule kanye nokuyeka okwedlule, kungentethelelo. Ukuthethelela iyona ndlela kuphela yokuyeka okwedlule ukhohlwe okwedlule.
Lapho wamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho futhi ube isidalwa esisha, Ngamanzi noMoya, okwedlule kuzodlula. UNkulunkulu akasakhumbuli okwedlule kwakho, liyasulwa ngegazi likaJesu. Usekuthethelele! Mukhulu kangakanani umusa kaNkulunkulu! Uma uNkulunkulu engakukhumbuli okwedlule, akufanele ukhumbule okwedlule kwakho.
Nawe, nifile ezonweni zenu nasekungasokini kwenyama yenu, Uphile kanye Naye, selithethelele zonke iziphambeko; Wesula umbhalo wesandla wemithetho owawumelene nathi, okwakuphambene nathi, wayisusa endleleni, elubethela esiphambanweni sakhe; Futhi esonakalisa izikhulu namandla, wababukisa obala, enqoba phezu kwabo kuwo (AbaseKolose 2:13-15)
Uma ungakwazi ukuthethelela abanye, uBaba kayikunithethelela
Ngokuba uma nithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo osezulwini uyakunithethelela nani: Kepha uma ningathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo akayikunithethelela iziphambeko zenu (Mathewu 6:14-15)
UJesu uthi, ukuthi uma ungakwazi ukuthethelela abanye, khona uBaba kayikunithethelela nani.
Ngakho-ke, yekela okwedlule, ukuze niphile! Baxolele labo, abakuzwise ubuhlungu. Lapho ubathethelela labo, abakuzwise ubuhlungu, UJesu uzosusa bonke ubuhlungu bakho, kanye nayo yonke lemizwa engemihle, ezixhumene nobuhlungu bakho. UJesu uzozisusa empilweni yakho, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
Lapho uJesu ekuhlenga kulemizwa, niyakuphiliswa, futhi awusayikuba yisigqila sakudala. Niyokhululwa futhi niyophila ebusheni bempilo; enkululekweni kaJesu Kristu.
