Kufuneka Ukukhetha Continuous

Kuya kuhlala kukho into ebalulekileyo yokhetho. Kufuneka sikhethe ukuba siya kukhangela kuYesu na ukuba asixolele, nokuba siya kuyijolisa kusini na ingqalelo yethu ekuhambeni ngendlela kaThixo. UThixo akasihoyi inkululeko yethu yokuzikhethela; ngokuba, njengoko sele kuchaziwe, uthando lokwenene alunakwenzeka ngaphandle kwalo. Akukho 'switch master’ ungaphosa oko kuya kukwenza ukhululwe ekuhendweni. NoYesu walingwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Waphelelwa ngamandla, indlala, ukucaphuka, inkohliso, ukungaqondi, ukuxhatshazwa kunye nokungcatshwa: kodwa wayesoloko ekhetha ukusabela ngendlela emkholisayo uYise, NguThixo.

Akuba egqibile uMtyholi ukuhenda, wamshiya de kwaba lixesha elifanelekileyo. (Luk 4:13)

ke, kuba babebaninzi abantu ababesiza nabemkayo kangangokuba babengenalo kwathuba lokutya, wathi kubo, “Hambani nam ngokwenu siye kwindawo ezolileyo, niphumle.” (Mar 6:31)

… NguYesu, ediniwe njengoko ebephuma eluhambeni, wahlala phantsi ngasequleni. kwakumalunga nemini emaqanda. Xa umSamariyakazi weza kukha amanzi, Wathi uYesu kuye, “Ungandinika ndisele?” … Yathi kuye inkazana engumSamariya, “Wena ungumJuda, mna ndingumSamariyakazi. Ungandicela njani idrink?” (Jn 4:6-9)

Baza abantu bezisa abantwana kuYesu ukuze ababeke izandla, Basuka abafundi babakhalimela. Wathi uYesu akukubona oku, wacaphuka. Uthe kubo, “Bayekeni abantwana beze kum;, ningabaleli, kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo bubobabo banjalo. (Mar 10:13-14)

AbaFarisi nabaSadusi beza kuYesu baza bamlinga ngokucela ukuba ababonise umqondiso ophuma ezulwini. (Mat 16:1)

UPetros wamthabathela bucala waza waqala ukumkhalimela. “Ungaze, Nkosi!” uthe. “Le nto ayisoze yenzeke kuni!” Wajika uYesu, wathi kuPetros, “Yiya emva kwam, USathana! Usisikhubekiso kum; awuzicingeli izinto zikaThixo, kodwa ziinkxalabo nje zabantu.” (Mat 16:22-23)

“… ndimzise kubafundi bakho, ababa nako ukumphilisa.” “Sizukulwanandini singakholwayo, sigwenxa;,” Waphendula uYesu, “Koda kube nini na ndinani?? Koda kube nini na ndininyamezele?? Yizise apha kum lo mfana.” (Mat 17:16-17)

Kweza kuye abaFarisi abathile, bemlinga. Babuza, “Ngaba kuvumelekile na ukuba indoda imale umfazi wayo nangasiphi na isizathu??” (Mat 19:3)

Baphuma ke abaFarisi, baceba ukumbamba ngamazwi akhe. Bathumela kuye abafundi babo kunye namaHerode. “Utitshala,” bathe, “siyazi ukuba uyindoda egqibeleleyo, ufundisa indlela kaThixo ngenyaniso. Awunakukhuselwa ngabanye, ngokuba awubahoyi ukuba bangoobani na. Sixelele ke, luthini uluvo lwakho? Kuvumelekile na ukumnika irhafu uKesare, okanye akunjalo??” Kodwa uYesu, bezazi iinjongo zabo ezimbi, watsho, “Bahanahanisindini, kutheni ufuna ukundibambisa nje?? (Mat 22:15-18)

Ababhali nabaFarisi bazisa ke kuye umfazi obanjwe ekrexeza;. Bammisa phambi kwesihlwele baza bathi kuYesu, “Utitshala, lo mfazi wabanjwa ekrexeza. EMthethweni uMosis wasiyalela ukuba sixulutywe ngamatye abafazi abanjalo. Ngoku uthini?” Babesebenzisa lo mbuzo njengomgibe, ukuze abe nesizathu sokummangalela. (Jn 8:3-6)

Qaphela, Ndiyacela, ezo mvakalelo zonxunguphalo olugqithisileyo, intlungu, umsindo, njl, abenzi sono ngokwabo: yeyona nto ibalulekileyo esiyenzayo ngabo.

“Ngomsindo wakho musa ukona”: Ilanga malingatshoni usacaphukile, kwaye musani ukumyeka uMtyholi abe nokuma. (Eph 4:26-27)

Kuba asinambingeleli mkhulu ungenako ukuvelana nezilwelwe zethu;, ke sinowahendwayo ngandlela zonke, njengoko sinjalo thina, yena akonanga. (Heb 4:15)

Ngaba kukho nabani na kuni onokuthi ndibe netyala lesono?? (Jn 8:46)

Kodwa nangona singenako ukubanga ukukhululwa ngokupheleleyo sinokuziphepha izilingo ezingeyomfuneko kwaye soyise ezo singenako ukuziphepha.. Yiloo nto kanye eyenziwa nguYesu; kwaye wasifundisa ukuba senze okufanayo.

Wathi ke uYesu, “Xa uthe wamphakamisa uNyana woMntu, Nothi nazi ukuba ndinguye, nokuba andenzi nto ngokwam; ndithetha kanye oko uBawo andifundise kona. Lowo wandithumayo unam; akandishiyanga ndedwa, ngokuba ndihlala ndisenza okukholekileyo kuye.” (Jn 8:28-29)

UYesu wabanika le mpendulo: “Inene ndithi kuni, UNyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe; unokwenza kuphela oko abona uYise ekwenza, ngokuba oko akwenzayo uYise, uNyana uyakwenza. (Jn 5:19)

Mna ngokwam andinakwenza nto; ndigweba njengoko ndivayo, nomgwebo wam ububulungisa, kuba andifuni kukholisa mna, ndifuna owandithumayo. (Jn 5:30)

ngokuba ndihle emazulwini, ndingaze kwenza ukuthanda kwam; ndize kwenza ukuthanda kwalowo wandithumayo. (Jn 6:38)

Kuba andithethanga ngokwam, owandithumayo, uBawo ngokwakhe, undiwisele umthetho wokuba ndizithethe zonke izinto endizithethileyo. Ndiyazi nokwazi ukuba umthetho wakhe lowo usa ebomini obungunaphakade. Ngoko ke izinto endizithethayo mna, nditsho kanye njengoko uBawo andixeleleyo.” (Jn 12:49-50)

Oku sikwenza ngokuhlakulela ulwalamano noThixo oluphapheleyo ukuthanda Kwakhe nokuthembela kuncedo Lwakhe.

“Le, ngoko, yindlela ofanele uthandaze ngayo: “‘Bawo wethu osemazulwini, Malingcwaliswe igama lakho, mabufike ubukumkani bakho, makwenzeke ukuthanda kwakho, emhlabeni njengasezulwini. Siphe namhla isonka sethu semihla ngemihla. Usixolele amatyala ethu, njengokuba nathi sibaxolele abanamatyala kuthi. Ungasingenisi ekuhendweni, sihlangule kuyo inkohlakalo.’ (Mat 6:9-13)

UYesu waphuma njengesiqhelo waya eNtabeni yemiNquma, bamlandela abafundi bakhe. Ekufikeni kwendawo, wathi kubo, “Thandazani ukuba ningangeni ekuhendweni.” Warhoxa kumgama omalunga nokuphosa ilitye phezu kwabo, waguqa wathandaza, “Utata, ukuba uyavuma, yisuse kum le ndebe; kanti hayi intando yam, kodwa makwenzeke okwakho.” Kwabonakala ke kuye isithunywa, sivela ezulwini, simomeleza. Kwaye usentlungwini, wathandaza enyamekile ngakumbi, Ukubila kwakhe kwaba njengamathontsi egazi esiwa emhlabeni. Uthe akuvuka emthandazweni wabuyela kubafundi, wabafumana belele, uphelile yintlungu. “Ulele ntoni?” wababuza. “Vuka uthandaze, ukuze ungangeni ekuhendweni.” (Luk 22:39-46)

Akukho sihendo sinifikelayo, siyinto eqhelekileyo eluntwini. Yaye uThixo uthembekile; akayi kuniyekela nihendwe ngaphaya koko ninokukuthwala. Kodwa xa uhendwa, uya kwenza nendlela yokuphuma ukuze ninyamezele. (1Co 10:13)

Le nkqubo iqhubekayo yokufuna ukuya apho uThixo akhokele khona, wenze athanda ukuba ukwenze, ichazwa nguSt. UPawulos ‘njengokungena kwakhe (okanye nge) umoya'.

Kodwa ndithi, hambani nikuMoya, kwaye aniyi kuzalisekisa inkanuko yenyama. Kuba inyama ikhanuka ngokuchasene noMoya, uMoya ke unxamnye nenyama; kwaye ezi zinto ziphambene, ukuze ningenzi izinto enisukuba nizithanda. Ukuba ke nikhokelwa nguMoya, aniphantsi komthetho. (Gal 5:16-18)

Iyabonakala ke yona imisebenzi yenyama, ezizi: ukukrexeza, uhenyuzo, ukungcola, inkanuko, unqulo-zithixo, ubugqwirha, inzondo, ingxabano, amakhwele, ukugqabhuka ngumsindo, usukuzwano, izahlulo, i-heredies, umona, ukubulala, ubunxila, iziyolo, nezinto ezinjalo; endinibonisayo ngenxa engaphambili, njengokuba ke ndanixelela ngenxa engaphambili, ukuba abo baqhelisela izinto ezinjalo abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo. Ke sona esoMoya isiqhamo luthando, uvuyo, uxolo, umonde, ububele, ukulunga, ukholo, ubulali, nokuzeyisa. akukho mthetho uchasene nezinto ezinjalo. (Gal 5:19-23)

Ke kaloku abo ke bakaKristu, inyama bayibethelele emnqamlezweni, kunye neminqweno neenkanuko zayo. Ukuba sidla ubomi ngokoMoya, masihambe kananjalo ngaye uMoya. Masingaziphakamisi, sicaphukisana, nokumonelana. (Gal 5:24-26)

Phawula kwakhona indlela le mfundiso kaPawulos evisisana ngayo noko sele sikubonile kwimfundiso kaYohane; ngubani ochaza oku njengokuhamba ‘ekukhanyeni’.

Lo ngumyalezo esiwevileyo kuye kwaye sibhengeze kuwe, ukuba uThixo ukhanyisele, kwaye kuye akukho bumnyama kwaphela. Ukuba sithi sinobudlelane naye kwaye sihambe ebumnyameni, siyaxoka, kwaye ungaxeleli inyani. Kodwa ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni, Njengoko ekukukhanya, Sinobudlelane omnye komnye, neGazi likaYesu Kristu, Unyana wakhe, Sicoca kuzo zonke izono. Ukuba sithi asinasono, sikhohlisa, kwaye inyani ayikho kuthi. Ukuba sizivuma izono zethu, Uthembekile kwaye ulilungisa ukusixolela izono, kwaye usihlambulule kuyo yonke intswela-bulungisa. (1Jn 1:5-9)

Abantwana bam abancinci, Ndinibhalela ezi zinto, ukuze ningoni. Ukuba ubani uthe wona, sinoMcebisi kunye noBawo, UYESU khristu, Ilungisa. … Sazi ngale nto ukuba sikuye: Lowo uthi, yena uhlala kuye, omelwe kukuhamba nje njengokuhamba kwakhe. (1Jn 2:1,6)

Ekukhanyeni okanye phantsi koMthetho? Umehluko.

IBhayibhile imchaza uThixo njengowayesoloko efuna uluntu lube nolwalamano lobuqu Naye.

Ke kaloku uYehova uThixo wabumba ngomhlaba onke amarhamncwa, neentaka zonke zezulu. Wawazisa kumfo ukuze abone ukuba wothini na ukuwabiza; Wazibiza ke umntu zonke izinto eziphilileyo, yayiligama layo elo. (Gen 2:19)

Kodwa siyazi ngokwethuku ukuba uThixo uNgcwele; yaye ukuziva sinetyala nokuba neentloni kusenza sikulumkele ukusondela kakhulu

Baliva ke isandi sikaYehova uThixo uAdam nomkakhe, ehamba emyezweni ekupholiseni kwemini, bazimela kuYehova uThixo phakathi kwemithi yomyezo. UYehova uThixo wambiza uAdam, “Uphi?” Uphendule, “Ndikuvile egadini, ndoyika ke ngokuba ndihamba ze; ndazimela ke.” (Gen 3:8-10)

Oku kuboniswa ngokucacileyo xa uThixo wabonakala kubantwana bakaSirayeli emva kokuba ebakhuphe eYiputa (Ex 20:18-21). Nanku uMoses’ ingcaciso yoko kwenzekayo:

Xa usivayo ilizwi ebumnyameni, ngoxa intaba yayisitsha ngumlilo, beze kum zonke iinkulu zezizwe zakowenu namadoda amakhulu enu. Kwaye uthe, “UYehova uThixo wethu usibonisile ubuqaqawuli bakhe nobukhulu bakhe, kwaye silivile ilizwi lakhe livela emlilweni. Namhlanje sibonile ukuba umntu unokuphila nangona uThixo ethetha naye. Kodwa ngoku, yini na ukuba sife? Lo mlilo mkhulu uya kusiqwenga, sofa, ukuba sithe saphinda saliva ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wethu. Kuba wakha waliva umntu ilizwi likaThixo ophilileyo ethetha esemlilweni;, njengoko senzileyo, waza wasinda? Sondela uze uve konke oko akuthethayo uYehova uThixo wethu. Uze usixelele konke akuxelela kona uYehova uThixo wethu. Siya kuphulaphula size sithobele.” Wakuva uYehova ekuthetheni kwenu kum, wathi uYehova kum, “Ndikuvile abakuthethayo kuwe aba bantu. Yonke into ababeyithetha yayilungile. Owu, ukuze intliziyo yabo indithobele, bayigcine yonke imithetho yam ngamaxesha onke, ukuze kulunge kubo nakoonyana babo kude kuse ephakadeni! “Hamba, baxelele ukuba babuyele ezintenteni zabo. Kodwa wena hlala apha nam ukuze ndikunike imiyalelo yonke, wobafundisa imimiselo namasiko, ukuba bahambe ngawo ezweni elo ndibanika ukuba balihluthe.” (Deu 5:23-31)

Beyisekile ukuba babengenakuyifikelela imilinganiselo kaThixo, abantu bakhetha ukukuphepha ukunxulumana ngokusondeleyo Naye, waza wacela uluhlu lwemithetho amele aphile ngayo endaweni yoko. Yaye leyo yindlela abantu abaninzi abaye baphila ngayo ukususela ngoko. Ukuziva sinetyala kusigcina sikude kuThixo; sisekela ubomi bethu kwincwadi yemithetho (umthetho') kunokuba sifune ubuhlobo obusenyongweni Naye kwaye sixhomekeke kumandla akhe okuxolela iziphoso zethu kunye nokuhlambulula ubomi bethu kunye neenjongo zethu.. Kodwa, ngokuthumela uYesu ukuba ahlawule kuqala izono zethu, aze ke eze kuhlala ngaphakathi kwethu ngoMoya waKhe, UThixo ulungiselele indlela yokubuyisela ulwalamano lwethu ngokupheleleyo – yomelele kwaye ingcono kunangaphambili!

Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangafi, kodwa babe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kuba uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini, ukuze aligwebe, kodwa ukuba ube ngumsindisi wayo. Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, akagwetywa;; Ke bona abangakholwayo, selegwetyiwe, ngenxa yokuba bengakholwanga kuNyana kaThixo okuphela kwakhe. Le yindlela umgwebo osebenza ngayo: Ukhanyiso ke lufikile ehlabathini, kodwa abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngokuba imisebenzi yabo ingendawo. Ke abo benza izinto ezimbi, bayaluthiya ukhanyiso;, kuba abafuni kubonakale ububi babo. Ke abo benza okwenyaniso beza elukhanyisweni, ukuze ukhanyiso lubonakale ukuba imisebenzi yabo ibimlulamela uThixo.. (Jn 3:16-21, GNB)

Kodwa, “Imikhwa emidala ifa nzima,” njengoko ilizwi lihamba; kwaye kwanamaKristu anokubuyela ngokulula kwindlela yokuphila esekelwe kumthetho, yi

• ukusilela ukuhlakulela rhoqo, Ubudlelwane bemihla ngemihla noThixo kunye novelwano kwinkokhelo yoMoya oyiNgcwele;
• ukwamkela isimo sengqondo sokugweba iimpazamo zabanye;
• kugxininise ekusebenzeni nakwimilinganiselo yangaphandle yempumelelo, kunokuzinikela ngokusuka entliziyweni; okanye
• ukuzinza ekuziphatheni okungafunwayo kangako, 'yobugcisa’ ukuthobela imithetho engqongqo ‘yomthetho’; ngeli lixa singayihoyi imilinganiselo ephakamileyo yokuziphatha esemva kwayo.

Ayikabikho Okwangoku!

NjengamaKristu, sinokunandipha ubomi bokukhululeka kubutyala bokusilela okudluleyo, ezele yintembelo kuxolelo lukaThixo olungenamiqathango nolwamkelo lwethu. Ngaxeshanye, siyazi ukuba kuninzi ekufuneka sikufundile; yaye kusenokuvela izilingo eziqatha. Kodwa intembelo yethu kuThixo iyodlula naluphi na uloyiko yaye sikhangele kwikamva sinolindelo oluvuyisayo. Njengoko uPawulos esitsho…

Kodwa nantoni na efunyazayo kum ngoku ilahlekelwe ngenxa kaKristu. Kuthini okuthe vetshe, Ndithatha izinto zonke ndizibalele ekuthini ziyinkxwaleko, ngenxa yokongama kokumazi uKristu Yesu iNkosi yam, ngenxa yakhe ndilahlekelwe zizinto zonke. Ndibagqala inkunkuma, Ukuze ndifumane uKrestu, ndifumaneke kuye, Ukungabeki ubulungisa bam obuvela emthethweni, Kodwa oko kukholo kuKristu - ukulunga okuvela kuThixo ngenxa yokholo. Ndifuna ukwazi uKrestu-EWE, Ukwazi amandla okuvuka kwakhe kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kwiintlungu zakhe, ukuba njengaye ekufeni kwakhe, kwaye, ngandlela thile, Ukufumana uvuko lwabafileyo. Hayi ukuba sele ndiyifumene yonke le nto, okanye sele ndifikile kwinjongo yam, ke ndiphuthuma ukuba ndingakuganga na nokukuganga oko, awandibambezela kona uKristu Yesu. Abazalwana noodade, Andizigqali ngokwam okwangoku ukubamba. Kodwa inye into endiyenzayo: Ukulibala ukuba yintoni ngasemva kwaye iphazamise ntoni ngaphambili, Ndicinezela ukuya kwinjongo yokuphumelela umvuzo ondibize ngayo amazulu anoKristu Yesu. (Php 3:7-14)
