Ngiyabathanda abangithandayo; nabangifuna ekuseni bayakungifumana (Izaga 8:17)
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngabantu luyaboniswa, eqinisweni lokuthi wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ethandekayo yodwa. UJesu futhi ubonise uthando lwakhe ngabantu, ngokubafela; ethatha zonke izono nobubi bomhlaba phezu Kwakhe. Ngenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu ngomuntu, futhi ngenxa kaJesu’ uthando olukhulu ngoBaba Wakhe, Wakwazi ukufeza umsebenzi Wakhe kulo mhlaba. YayiyiWundlu, Owabulawa ngenxa yesintu. Wenza ukubuyisana kwesoni.
Manje kusezabantu, esikwenzayo ngalesi sipho esiyigugu. Ingabe siyakwamukela, noma wenqabe.
Wonke umuntu unikezwe inkululeko yokuzikhethela; khetha uJesu, noma cha.
UJesu uthi uyabathanda labo, abaMthandayo, ngoba baMkhethile, futhi baMemukela ezimpilweni zabo. UJesu angaphila kuphela kubo, abaMmemile.
Kangikhulekeli laba bodwa, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo; Ukuze bonke babe munye; njengawe, Uyihlo, ubuciko kimi, nami ngikuwe, ukuze nabo babe munye kithi:ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile. Nenkazimulo onginike yona ngibanikile bona; ukuze babe munye, njengoba thina simunye: Mina kubo, nawe kimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye; ukuze izwe lazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, futhi ubathandile, njengoba ungithandile (Jn 17:20-23)
UJesu angangena kanjani empilweni yakho?
Hhayi-ke, okokuqala nje, ngokumcela ukuthi angene empilweni yakho, phenduka, futhi uzinikele kuYe. Khona-ke okumele ukwenze ukuvula iZwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi namukele amazwi Akhe. Lapho uthola amazwi Akhe, uyaMemukela, nalapho usuba umenzi weZwi, futhi uhambe emiyalweni yakhe, nasentandweni yaKhe, bese uyaMkhombisa ukuthi uyamthanda, futhi uyakuhlala kini.
Abangifuna kuqala bayongithola
Lithi iZwi: “abangifuna kuqala bayakungifumana.” Yebo, labo abamfunayo kusenesikhathi, uzoMthola. Yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqala usuku lwakho ngeZwi, ukuze uqale usuku lwakho kanye Naye.
Lapho uvula iBhayibheli, futhi namukele amazwi Akhe, khona umoya wenu uyakudla. Uzokhuthazeka, Yakha, futhi waqiniswa. Uzokwazi ukubhekana nezinto, eza endleleni yakho ngalolo suku. Uyafundisa, futhi uyakuyala, ukuze ukwazi ukusingatha zonke izimo ngendlela efanele.
Kodwa Uyalinda.... ngesimemo sakho.
