IsiHlabelelo SeziHlabelelo sinale ncazelo ecacile yothando:

“Uthando lunamandla njengokufa: inkanuko engayekeleli njengeShiyoli; ukusha kwawo kunjengokushisa komlilo, ilangabi likaJehova! Amanzi amaningi awanakulucima uthando; imifula ayikwazi ukulikhukhula. (Ngisho) uma umuntu enikela yonke ingcebo yendlu yakhe ngothando, bekungaba (-phuhlile) balahlwe njengokudelelwa!" (Song 8:6-7)

Nomphostoli uPawulu, esahlukweni sakhe esidumile sothando, uthi…

“lubekezelela izinto zonke, likholwa yizinto zonke, uthemba izinto zonke, lukhuthazelela izinto zonke. Uthando aluhluleki." (1Cor 13:7-8)

Nokho, ngawo wonke amandla alo namandla okubekezela, uthando lunobuthakathaka bangaphakathi: ayikwazi ukuphoqa; olothando, ukuba uthando nhlobo, kufanele kube ukukhetha ngokuzithandela.

Ububi obukhulu

Lokhu kubeka noma ubani okhetha indlela yothando engcupheni enkulu.

Ngikhunjuzwa indaba yebhodi lokukhangisa elimemezela umbhalo, “Abathobekileyo bazakudla ifa lomhlaba.” Ngaphansi kwayo kwakubhalwe inqola, "Er ... uma lokho kulungile ngawe bafo."

Abaningi bethu bayabona ukuthi uthando luyindlela engcono. Futhi iningi lethu linethemba lokuthi ekugcineni uthando luzonqoba. Ngisho nokucindezela okubi kakhulu kubonakala ekugcineni ukuwa: kodwa kuyindlela ende; abaningi bayahlupheka futhi bafe endleleni. Futhi ekuhambeni komzabalazo, kukangaki labo ababezoba abakhululi beba isizukulwane esilandelayo sabacindezeli?

Ukulwela uthando, ngaphandle kokuyicekela phansi, into enzima kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngempela, ukulwela ukuvikela ilungelo lomuntu lokuthola uthando kungabonakala kuwukuphikisana ngokwemibandela. Nokho iningi lethu lingamcabangela lowo olwayo, engozini yokuphepha nokunethezeka kwabo, ukuvikela ilungelo labanye kuwukubonisa uthando ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu.

Igxathu eliya phezulu, uChampion

Yingakho uthando ludinga umpetha - ozimisele ukuthanda nokuvikela abanye kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kubiza malini kuye. Kodwa lowo ngqwele, ukuvikela ababuthakathaka, kumele balungele ukuhlula abanamandla abaphikelela ekusebenziseni inkululeko yabo ukuxhaphaza abanye. Pho uligwema kanjani icala lokuthi usephenduke umcindezeli omusha ngokuncisha abaxhaphazi inkululeko yabo yokuzikhethela?

Vula kanye nami okwesikhashana eNcwadini yesAmbulo, isahluko 5:

Ngase ngibona esandleni sokunene salowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi umqulu ulotshiwe emaceleni omabili, unamathelisiwe ngezimpawu eziyisikhombisa.. Ngabona ingelosi enamandla imemeza ngezwi elikhulu, “Ngubani ofanele ukugqabula izimpawu nokuvula umqulu?”

… Ngakhala, ngakhala, ngokuba kungafunyanwanga muntu ofanele ukuwuvula umqulu, nokulunguza phakathi;. Khona-ke omunye wabadala wathi kimi, “Ungakhali! Qonda, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, iMpande kaDavide, unqobile. Uyakwazi ukuwuvula umqulu nezimpawu zawo eziyisikhombisa.” Ngase ngibona iWundlu, ebukeka sengathi ihlatshiwe…

Wafika wathatha umqulu … Kwathi eseyithathile, izidalwa ezine namalunga angamashumi amabili nane awa phansi phambi kweWundlu. … Basebecula ingoma entsha: “Uyakufanelekela ukuthatha umqulu nokuvula izimpawu zawo, ngoba ubulewe, futhi ngegazi lakho wathengela uNkulunkulu abantu abavela kuzo zonke izizwana nezilimi nabantu nezizwe.” (Rev. 5:1-9, I na-, esifushanisiwe)

Umqulu kulesi sigcawu umelela isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu kwababi futhi iNgonyama ebukeka njengewundlu elihlatshiwe nguJesu.. Kodwa kungani kunguye yedwa ofanele ukufeza lesi sahlulelo?

Kuhle kuqala, futhi ngokusobala kakhulu, ngoba wadela ukuphila kwakhe ukuze sithethelelwe futhi sibuyiselwe ebuhlotsheni noNkulunkulu – isenzo sothando olumsulwa. Futhi okwesibili ngoba, esephile futhi ehlupheka njengomuntu ngokwakhe, akekho ongamtshela, "Awuqondi ukuthi kunjani ukuba yimi."

Kodwa kunesinye isizathu.
