Siqukumbele isiHlomelo A ngokuqaphela ukuba uhlalutyo lweelwimi lusishiya sinodwa 2 Ezona zizathu zokuthandabuza ukutolikwa kwegama elithi ‘aionios’ ‘ngonaphakade’ xa siqwalasela inkcazelo kaYesu yomgwebo kaThixo.. Eyokuqala kwezi kukuba asizithandi iimpembelelo.

Siphila kwihlabathi elintsonkothe ​​ngendlela emangalisayo; intsonkothe ​​kakhulu, inyaniso, ukuba ixesha elininzi sinokuqikelela kuphela kwiziphumo ezinokuthi zibe kho zezenzo zethu. Kwaye xa sizama ukuqwalasela ingqikelelo yekhonkco elingapheliyo leziphumo, ukusukela ngoku kude kube ngunaphakade, siqala ukujongana nokuba nokwenzeka kwetyala elingenamda ngenxa yeziphumo ezinobungozi ezinokuthi zibonakale ngathi., ngelo xesha, ukuba zizenzo ezincinci zokungakhathali okanye zokuzicingela.

Ndiyacinga, umzekelo, womnye umfundisi endakhe ndadibana naye ekuqhuba kwakhe kwandoyikisa kakhulu, kangangokuba ndaziva ndifanele ndimlumkise ngeengozi awayezifaka kuzo. Kodwa imbeko engafanelekanga yandibangela ukuba ndithule. Kwiiveki ezimbalwa kamva wabulawa kwingozi yemoto; lwaza lwaphela uthando awayelubaleka. Mingaphi iminyaka yemveliso yobomi balo mfundisi elahlekileyo? Bangaphi abantu ababebandakanyekile kuloo ngozi abaye bafa ngequbuliso? Zingaphi izenzo zenceba ezinokuthi zenzeke? Ngaba omnye wabo wamchasa uThixo okanye wasilela ukuva nokusabela kwiindaba ezilungileyo? Ndizoziva njani ngonaphakade xa ndifumanisa zonke iziphumo zokusilela kwam ukuthetha phandle? Nokuba ndixelelwe ukuba andizukuphenduliswa ngetyala, ndingaphila njani ngaphandle kokuzifumana kuhambo olungapheliyo lwetyala? Ingakumbi kuba ndandilunyukiswe kwangaphambili ngoxanduva lwam? (Funda Ez 33:2-9.)

Ithuba lokuzifumana sikwimo engunaphakade yokugwetywa kunye nokuzisola, ngokuphandle, indoyikisa kakhulu loo nto, ukuba besinokhetho lwethu, sisenokutyekela ekukhetheni imeko yentshabalalo ekhawulezileyo. Kodwa ngaba oko kuya kuba sisiphumo esifanelekileyo? Kuchaphazelo, sicebisa ukuba kuya kulunga ukuba umntu enze intlungu engathethekiyo nokubandezeleka kwabanye, uze ke ubuyeke obu bomi ungakhange ujongane neziphumo. Ndicinga ukuba kufanele ukuba kucace kuthi sonke ukuba oku akunakuchazwa 'njengobulungisa'.

Kodwa, kwelinye icala, singathwaliswa njani uxanduva ngeziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zezenzo ezinjalo? Kwaye singabekwa njani ityala ngokuzifumana singamaxhoba eemeko ezingaphaya kwamandla ethu? Ngaba lityala lam ukuba ndakhulela ebuhlwempu okanye ekuxhatshazweni ndaza ndaguqukela kulwaphulo-mthetho okanye ukuthengisa ngomzimba: okanye ndiyanconywa ukuba ndikhulele kusapho lwabantu abazizinhanha?

Yiza kuloo nto, loluphi uxanduva endinokuba nalo malunga nokwenzeka kwabo bandingqongileyo? Ndingumlindi wabazalwana bam? Oku kuvakala njengento elungileyo yokuphuma: kodwa emva phaya kwizahluko zokuqala zeGenesis uThixo wenza kucace gca ukuba amabango anjalo akayi kuhlamba. Jonga kwakhona kwibali lokuqala likaKayin noAbheli...

UAdam wamazi uEva umkakhe. Wakhulelwa, waza wazala uKayin … Waphinda wazala, kumntakwabo Kayin uAbheli. uAbheli wayengumalusi wezimvu, ke yena uKayin wayengumlimi. Njengoko ixesha lihamba, kwathi uKayin wathabatha eziqhameni zomhlaba, wazisa umnikelo kuYehova. Naye uAbheli wathabatha kumazibulo omhlambi weegusha zakhe, kwanamanqatha awo. UYehova wamohlwaya uAbheli nomnikelo wakhe, kodwa akambanga uKayin nomnikelo wakhe. UKayin waba nomsindo kakhulu, wawa ubuso bakhe. Wathi uYehova kuKayin, “Uqumbeleni? Yini na ukuba busangane ubuso bakho?? Ukuba wenza kakuhle, Ayiyi kuphakanyiswa yini na?? Ukuba awuhambi kakuhle, isono singxamele emnyango. Umnqweno wayo ukuwe, Ke wena woyilawula.” … Kwenzeka xa besendle, wathi uKayin wamvukela uAbheli, umntakwabo, wambulala. Wathi uYehova kuKayin, “Uphi uAbheli, umntakwenu?” Uthe, “Andazi. Ndingumgcini womntakwethu?” Wathi uYehova, “Ingaba wenze ntoni? Ilizwi legazi lomntakwenu liyadanduluka kum emhlabeni. Uqalekisiwe ngenxa yomhlaba, eliwuvulileyo umlomo walo ukuba lamkele igazi lomntakwenu esandleni sakho. Ukususela ngoku ukuya phambili, xa ulima umhlaba, ayiyi kukunika amandla ayo kuwe. uya kuba sisibhadubhadu nesibhadubhadu ehlabathini.” Wathi uKayin kuYehova, “Isohlwayo sam sikhulu ngaphezu kokuba ndingasithwala. Khangela, undigxothile namhla phezu komhlaba. Ndiya kusithela ebusweni bakho, ndibe sisibhadubhadu nesibhadubhadu ehlabathini. wothi othe wandifumana andibulale;” Wathi uYehova kuye, “ngoko ke, nabani na obulala uKayin, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
(Genesis 4:1-15)

Notice that the issue which God highlights was not what kind of offering was made, nor who was first to make it: kodwa isimo sengqondo esinikelwa ngaso. Abel was thankful and not ashamed to follow Cain’s example in his own way: but Cain was competitive and resented being outdone. God didn’t spell out how this would lead to tragedy: but made it very clear what his problem was, and how to fix it.

But notice also that God does not permit others to usurp his role as the one true judge of the hearts of others. Siphila kwihlabathi elixhomekeke omnye komnye esikulo, okokuqala kwaye ngaphambi kwento yonke, held accountable to God for the deeper motivations of our own hearts and how they affect our relationships with God and man, ngaphandle kokufana nokungafani kweemeko zethu zobuqu.

I Am Guilty Too!

Ndazalwa emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi Yesibini; njengokuba iintshaba zangaphambili zazifuna ukuba ngabahlobo kwakhona. Amabali ahlekisayo neemuvi ayesoloko eboniswa ‘kwicala lethu’ njengamaqhawe kunye notshaba njengabangendawo abangenamigaqo: ukanti kwakukho amabali awayebaliswa malunga nokubonakaliswa kobuntu obubekekileyo ngabantu abavela kumacala omabini olwahlulo. Ke, Njengomtsha ongenankumbulo ngqo yezenzo zenkohlakalo zemfazwe ndiye ndafumanisa kulula ukwamkela umoya woxolelwaniso njengoko kwakusenziwa ubudlelwane obutsha kunye nobuhlobo..

Ndandingafane ndive umntu omdala ethetha phandle ngenkohlakalo abayibonayo: kodwa ngezihlandlo ezinqabileyo xa umntu ekwenzile, yayifana nokuchitheka kwesuphu ebilayo yevitriol. Ndikhumbula indlela elasabela ngayo elinye inenekazi elalinomyeni walo wayengcungcuthekiswa ngamaJapan; nini, njengomfundisi oselula, Ndandinobuganga bokuthi uYesu’ idini laliza kwanela nokugubungela izono zikaHitler, ukuba ebefanele ukuguquka. Kuye, oku yayikukukhanyela ngokunyelisa ubulungisa bukaThixo.

Ndiye ndaqhubeka ndikholelwa ukuba ithuku lam lichanekile; ukuba akukho nto yimbi kuyo yonke indalo enokulugqwesa idini ledini loNyana oyintanda kaThixo ongaphezu kokwanela kubo bonke ububi obakha bukho okanye obuya bukho.. Okwangoku, kokukhona ndiye ndabubona ubunzulu benkohlakalo uluntu olunokuthi lusike kubo, kokukhona ndikufumanisa kunzima ukuqonda nokuxolela.

Njengoko ubutyebi baseUkraine kungquzulwano olukhoyo neRussia luye lwaphucuka, Iingcinga nemithandazo yam iye yakhula ngakumbi kumbuzo wokuba amaqela alwayo anokuze axolelaniswe njani na; kwaye ndiye ndothuswa kukufumanisa ukuba ibango lembuyekezo liyidle nzulu kangakanani na entliziyweni yam.

Ndiye ndasokola ukugcina kangangoko ndinako intliziyo evulekileyo ngakubo bamacala omabini, ukukhumbula ukuba kulula kangakanani ukutsaleleka kumjikelo wokukhohlisa nokuziphindezela, ndivuya xa kubonakala ngathi iintshaba zifumana ‘intlango yazo.’ Ndiye ndacamngca ngaloo ndlela yobudemon ethi isazela somntu sitshiswe size singakhathali kwiimbandezelo zabanye.. Kwaye ndiyikrobile indlela ekhokelela ekuqondeni okubi kakhulu ukuba wena ngokuthe chu ube sisilo kwaye awuboni ndlela yokuphuma.. Kuya kuba njani ukuqonda ukuba ube nguPutin okanye uHitler ngegazi lamawaka ezandleni zakho? Ungathemba njani ukulungisa? Kukweliphi inqanaba ukuba kusemva kwexesha kakhulu ukuba uguquke?

Ekugqibeleni, impendulo yemibuzo enjalo ingaphaya kwam: kodwa ndiyazi ukuba kowam ubumnyama kukho iingcinga nezenzo zobumnyama endizisolayo ngazo: kwaye ndiyazama ukuthi into efanayo iyasebenza nakuwe.

Yintoni ke? Ngaba singcono kunabo? Hayi, nangayiphi na indlela. Kuba besesiwanyusile ngenxa engaphambili, amaYuda kwanamaGrike;, nokuba baphantsi kwesono bonke. Njengoko kubhaliwe, “Akukho ulilungisa; Hayi, hayi enye. Akukho mntu uqondayo. Akukho namnye ofuna uYehova. Bonke baguqukile. Badibene. Akukho namnye owenza okuhle, Hayi, hayi, kakhulu nje.”(Rom 3:9-12)

Lilele Phi Ityala Lokwenyani?

Kukho i-anecdote endala ethi, xa uAdam walidlayo iapile, wagxeka uThixo ngokwenza uEva: kodwa uEva watyhola iNyoka – kwaye iNyoka yayingenawo umlenze wokuma kuwo! Oku kunokuphakamisa iintsini ezimbalwa: kodwa iyayiphosa ingongoma. Ngokwenene iNyoka yaqalisa ukuhenda ngokuthi inguThixo, ukubona kwangaphambili amandla omntu okuba mkhulu, wayebandeza ngabom uAdam ukuqonda okupheleleyo kokulungileyo nokubi. Obu yayibubuxoki obuqhelekileyo bobona hlobo lubi kakhulu; ngokuba kwakunjalo phantse yinyani. UAdam wayesele enofikelelo olungathintelwanga kumthombo walo lonke ulwazi – uThixo ngokwakhe. Ekuphela kolwazi uAdam awayenalo yayilulo loBungendawo; kwaye ekuphela kwento efunekayo kuAdam ukuwela loo mda uyingozi yayikukuba enze oko uSathana wayekwenzile, ngokukhetha izilangazelelo zakhe kunokuba amthande aze amthembe Lowo umenzeyo.

Ngokwendlela egqwethekileyo kaSathana yokucinga, ukuze abe ‘njengothixo’ ngokwenene kwakufuneka abe namandla okuchasa ukuthanda kukaThixo. Mhlawumbi, njengoko abanye benzile, wayecinga ukuba ngokwenene nguThixo ngokwakhe obekek’ ityala. Emveni kwakho konke, ukuba uThixo ebengasinikanga inkululeko yokuzikhethela, bekungasoze kubekho ngxaki kwasekuqaleni, ingaba apho? Yaye uThixo umele ukuba wayeyazi into eyayiza kwenzeka; ngoko oko akumenzi uThixo ngokwakhe umthombo wobubi? Ngenye indlela, oko kuyinyaniso ngokupheleleyo - kwaye uThixo akayikhanyeli!

Ndibumba ukukhanya, adale ubumnyama. Ndenza uxolo, nokudala intlekele. ndinguYehova, ngubani ozenzayo zonke ezi zinto. (Isa 45:7)

Inyaniso kukuba uThixo ngokuyimfuneko wasivulela ithuba lokwenza ububi, ngokulula ngokusinika amandla okuzikhethela ukuba siyathanda okanye singathandi. Ngokudala ukukhanya, UThixo wabuchaza kakuhle ubumnyama njengokungabikho kokukhanya. Kwaye ngendlela efanayo, ngokumisela iimpawu ezintle ezinjengoxolo nothando, ububi buchazwa ngokuzenzekelayo njengokungabikho kwezi zinto. Kodwa loo nto ayimenzi uThixo ungendawo – kude kuyo! Ityala lokwenene, kunye nokwahlukana okubalulekileyo kokuziphatha phakathi kweempawu zabantu, kuxhomekeke kukhetho abalwenzayo kunye nenkuthazo yolo khetho. Eyona nkxalabo kaThixo yimpilo-ntle yendalo yakhe, kungakhathaliseki ukuba oku kunokumxabisa ngantoni ngokobuqu: kanti eyona nto iphambili kaSathana ikukuzivakalisa elingana noThixo ngokudelela ukuthanda kukaThixo.

Ke thina, saqala ngokulandela imithetho kaThixo: kodwa bahendelwa kubomi bokuzingca; ndisanqwenela isidima: singabathinjwa kwiinkanuko zemvelo.

Kuba okulungileyo endisukuba ndikwenza, andikwenzi, khona okubi, endingakuthandiyo, oko ndiyakwenza. ... Kuba ngaphakathi kwam ndikholiswa ngumthetho kaThixo; kodwa ndibona omnye umthetho usebenza kum, usilwa nomthetho wengqondo yam, undenza umbanjwa womthetho wesono, osebenza ngaphakathi kwam. Yhini mfondini ndilishwangusha! oya kundihlangula kulo mzimba usisisulu sokufa? (Rom 7:19,22-24)

IBuck ime Apha

Khona apho yenza i-buck stop kwaye singayifumana njani inkululeko kwisohlwayo esisifaneleyo kunye nelifa lethu lobutyala? Emnqamlezweni! Le yeyona ndawo uThixo akuyo, emntwini kaYesu, ngokusesikweni wathabatha kuYe uxanduva lokugqibela waza wanyamezela iziphumo zabo bonke ububi obakhe benziwa.

Le kuphela kwendawo apho bonke abantu baya kugwetywa, zonke zinokuxolelwa; kwaye akukho bani unokuma ematyaleni ngokuchasene naye nawuphi na omnye. Qaphela ngakumbi imfundiso kaYesu malunga nomkhonzi ongaxoleliyo…

Ngenxa yoko ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nokumkani othile, owafuna ukubalelana nabakhonzi bakhe. Uthe xa eqala ukudibana, kwaziswa kuye omnye onetyala leetalente ezingamawaka alishumi. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba wayengakwazi ukuhlawula, yathi inkosi yakhe makuthengiswe ngayo, nomfazi wakhe, abantwana bakhe, nako konke abenako, kunye nentlawulo ekufuneka yenziwe. Wawa phantsi ngoko umkhonzi lowo, waqubuda kuyo, bathi, ‘Nkosi, yiba nomonde kum, ndonibuyekeza zonke!’ Inkosi yaloo mkhonzi, eqhutywa yimfesane, wamkhulula, waza wamxolela ityala. “Waphuma ke loo mkhonzi, wafumana omnye wabakhonza kunye naye, owayenetyala kuye leedenariyo ezilikhulu, wambamba, wambamba ngomqala, bathi, ‘Ndihlawule oko undityala kona!’ “Wawa phantsi ngoko ezinyaweni zakhe lo ubekhonza kunye naye, wambongoza, bathi, ‘Yiba nomonde kum, ndiya kukubuyekeza mna!’ Akazange avume, waya wamphosa entolongweni, ade alihlawule ityala elo. Ngoko xa abakhonzi ababekunye naye bakubona oko kwenzekileyo, baba buhlungu kakhulu, beza bayibikela inkosi yabo konke oko kwenzekileyo. Yambizela ke inkosi yakhe, wathi kuye, ‘Wena mkhonzi ungendawo! Ndakuxolela lonke elaa tyala, ngokuba undicengile. Ubungafanelanga ukuba ube nenceba nawe kokhonza kunye nawe, njengokuba nam ndanenceba kuni?’ Inkosi yakhe yaba nomsindo, wamnikela kubathuthumbisi, ade alihlawule lonke ityala lakhe kuye. Uya kwenjenjalo nakuni uBawo osemazulwini, ukuba anithanga nonke ngabanye nabaxolela abazalwana benu iziphoso zabo ngeentliziyo zenu.” (Mat 18:23-35[/]x)

Umnqamlezo yitrone yobabalo lukaThixo, apho bonke banokufumana ukuxolelwa. Kodwa ngokuzimisela ukuba sigwebe ukuxabiseka kwabanye abantu’ imiphefumlo, siyayikhanyela inceba esizinqwenela ngayo. Endaweni yoko, kufuneka silandele imiyalelo kaThixo ukuze simise uluntu lwaKhe lothando emhlabeni. Kwaye, ukuya kutsho kuloo nto, sifanele sisoloko siwaphaphele nawaphi na amathuba okunceda nokukhuthaza abanye ukuba babe namava angakumbi othando lukaThixo. (Bona kwakho Hayi. 18:2-32 & 33:2-20.)
