I kuThixo oziqu zithathu emnye (pt 2)

3. INDLELA ESEBENZA NGAYO UBUTHIXO

3.1 Ubunye babo

Kusoloko kunzima nokuba ukwahlula phakathi komoya oyingcwele noYesu okanye uYise, Njengoko kubonisiwe ngamagama aqholiweyo kuye njengomoya kaThixo’ (jonga ngaphezulu) 'nomoya kaKristu’ (Rom. 8:9 – Isebenzisa zombini!).

UYesu wathi 'nabani na ondibonileyo kum embonile uBawo’ (Jn. 14:9) yaye, 'Mna noBawo simnye’ (Jn. 10:30). Umgaqo okwindawo ekusenziwa kuwo lo 'uThixo luthando. Nabani na oPhezulula kuthando oluhlala kuThixo, kwaye uThixo kuye’ (1 Jn. 4:16). NguYesu’ Umnqweno wokugqibela wabafundi bakhe kukuba bonke babe, Utata, Kanye njengoko unjengam kwaye ndikuwe.’ (Jn. 17:21).

• Yingcinga emangalisayo yokuba 'uThixo luthando’ (1 John 4:8,16) ayithethi nje 'uThixo,’ Kodwa olo thando lwakhiwe kubume boThixo; ukuba akunakubakho thixo uthanda oku ngaphandle kothando.

Ngamanye amaxesha amaKristu azibuze ukuba ngubani kanye kanye osele ephila kuwo xa eba ngamaKristu: Impendulo yobathathu! UYesu wathi 'ukuba umntu uyandithanda, Uya kuyithobela imfundiso yam. Utata wam uyamthanda, Kwaye siya kuza kuye sizenze sihlale naye.’ (Jn. 14:23) NguYesu, Ukujongana noBawo, Ivakalise ngathi 'ndikuzo nawe kum.’ (Jn. 17:23) Wasixelela ukuba ubomi bomoya oyingcwele kunye nawe kwaye bube kuwe.’ (Jn. 14:17). UPaul wacela uBawo ukuba 'omeleze ngamandla ngomoya wakhe ngaphakathi, ukuze uKrestu ahlale ezintliziyweni zenu, ngokholo.’ (Eph. 3:16-7) Ikakhulu, nangona kunjalo, NguMoya oyiNgcwele eyingongoma yethu yoYesu noyise (ngaphezulu kwale kamva).

3.2 Ukuxhomekeka kwabo

Phantse nganye nganye isenzo sikaThixo bonke abantu abathathu bakaBathathu Emnye ababandakanyekayo ngandlel 'ithile. Indalo esiyifundayo 'umoya kaThixo wayehamba phezu kwamanzi. Watsho njalo uThixo, “Makubekho ukukhanya,” kwaye kwabakho ukukhanya.’ (Gen. 1:2-3) Sele seva ukuba uYesu wayelilizwi kuye yonke into eyenziwayo (Jn. 1:2-3, Heb. 1:2). Malunga nosindiso lwethu sifunde 'ngoKristu, Ngubani ngoMoya ongapheliyo wazinikela engapheliyo kuThixo’ (Heb. 9:14). Ngokuphathelele ukuvuka kwakhe sifunda, 'Ukuba umoya wabantu owavusa uYesu kwabafileyo uyaphila kuwe, Lowo wamvungulayo uKrestu uya kunika ubomi bakho ngenxa yomoya wakhe., ohleli kuwe.’ (Rom. 8:11)

Isiphumo sendalo soku kukuba xa siphazamisa nangawuphi na kwabantu bakaBathathu Emnye Sisiphela sinembono yokupheliswa nguThixo. Njengokuba, Ukuba uYesu wayengeyonxalenye kaThixo esiya kuba nguThixo, ujongene nentlungu yamadoda anesono, ukhethe omnye umntu ukuba abandezeleke: Ngelixa inyani wayeyifumana ngokwakhe. Ukuba bekungekho bawo, Wayenokusimisela njani uYesu umzekelo wokuthobela ukulandela? Ukuba bekungekho moya phi sifumana amandla okumlandela?
