Isabelo sika-Adamu

Umhlaba wokuqala ‘wawumuhle kakhulu’ (Gen 1:31): kodwa kwakusendle futhi kwakudinga ukuthambisa (Gen 1:26-28). Isabelo sika-Adamu no-Eva sasiwukubusa njengabameleli bakaNkulunkulu. Kodwa babengakakulungeli lokhu; ngakho uNkulunkulu wababeka endaweni ephephile, Eden, u-Adamu abekwa umthwalo wokuwuhlakulela nokuvikela (Gen 2:15).

Kodwa umuthi wokwazi okuhle nokubi, wayengekho ukudla: kodwa ukufundisa u-Adamu indlela yokuthanda – ngokunakekela izithakazelo zabanye. U-Adamu kwadingeka akhululeke ukuze azikhethele ukuthi uyakwenza yini lokhu; ngoba uthando luwuthando kuphela uma lukhona ngokuzithandela.

Ingene Inyoka

Manje sithola ikilasi eliwungcweti esilingweni kumculi okhohlakele kunabo bonke owake waphila - inyoka (a.k.a. uSathane), isitha sikaNkulunkulu esingenasici. Wayengenalutho oluyigugu angalunikeza u-Adamu no-Eva. Kunalokho wabakhohlisa ukuba benze umsebenzi wokuhweba ukuze bathole lokho asebenakho! Ngemva kokululaza ngempumelelo ukuthembela kwabo ebuhleni bukaNkulunkulu, izinkanuko zabo zemvelo zakwenza okunye.

Uboshelwe izono zethu

Umklomelo wenyoka

Yazuzani inyoka esonweni sika-Adamu?

• UNkulunkulu wayebeke u-Adamu phezu komhlaba. Lapho u-Adamu ekhetha ukulandela uSathane kunoNkulunkulu, waba yinceku kaSathane; futhi uSathane waba umbusi womhlaba.
• USathane wayefuna umshwalense futhi wayeqaphela uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngesintu. Manje, uma uNkulunkulu wayefuna ukwahlulela uSathane, wayengasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayeyoba ongalungile ngokusindisa isintu kodwa hhayi yena.
• USathane futhi wayazi ukuthi ‘ukufa’ kwakusho ukwehlukaniswa unomphela noNkulunkulu. Wakucabanga lokho, Uma uNkulunkulu efuna ukukhansela le nhlawulo ku-Adamu, angafuna inkokhelo efanayo – kungaba ukuxolelwa kwakhe noma isijeziso esingapheli sokukhetha kwakhe. Wayecabanga ukuthi wayehlakaniphe kakhulu uNkulunkulu.

Sadalelwa ukuphila ebuhlotsheni obuqhubekayo noNkulunkulu: ukuze sisebenzise ukuhlakanipha namandla akhe noma nini lapho sikudinga. Ngaphandle Kwakhe ezimpilweni zethu sibuyela ekubeni nje ‘izilwane ezihlakaniphile’ - usakwazi ukufunda nokwenza izinto ezimangazayo: kodwa ayikwazi ukuphatha kahle imvelo yethu yemvelo ngokwemvelo.

Sika ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, U-Adamu wayesefile ngokomoya futhi, ngokomzimba, sonke silahliwe. Kodwa kuthiwani ukube omashiqela ababi bebengafi? Ukufa okungokwenyama kwakuyindlela yokunciphisa umonakalo kuze kube yilapho uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu oluyinhloko lugcwaliseka.
