Kungekudala iza kube ishiywe lixesha

Iinkukhu namaxhalanga akhula kunye yinto eqhelekileyo ngoku. Kulihlazo nokubhideka kwabanjalo ukuqhubeka kwisangqa sabo bathi bangamaKristu. Inkukhu nexhalanga zisenokuba zisitya ukutya okufanayo, kodwa umphumo untlu-mbini, owokwenyama nowokomoya. Batya umxhesho ofanayo bobabini; ekucingelwa ukuba lilizwi likaThixo. Zombini zivuthiwe kwaye zineziphumo ezibini; enye ifana nenkuku ekhule ingakhuli kwaye ingaqondi. Kodwa enye ikhuliswe ngokupheleleyo kwaye ikhulile ngokuqonda ubume bayo bobuthixo.

Amakholwa amele indibaniselwano yenkukhu kunye namaxhalanga kwindawo efanayo yokutya ebizwa ngokuba ngumhlaba abanjwe ngulo mbutho ukhohlisayo nongekho ngcwele. Inkukhu inokuqonda okungaphakathi okwahlukileyo, xa kuthelekiswa nokhozi. Inkukhu ngamanye amaxesha ibhabha umgama omfutshane kakhulu xa isoyikiswa okanye isoyika. Ihlala icinga ukuba inamaphiko anamandla kwaye iyakwazi ukubona. Icinga ukuba inesantya kodwa isoloko isikelwe umda kakhulu. Kodwa ukhozi luziphatha njengenkukhu kwimeko yokutya kwizinto ezifanayo. Amaxhalanga anesakhono inkukhu engazi nto ngayo. Oku nokwenzeka kufana nembewu kaThixo kwikholwa lokwenene. Amakholwa okwenyaniso afana neenkozi anokubona kude lee ngaphaya kweenkukhu. La makholwa okwenyaniso anokubhabha aye phezulu kakhulu xa eyiqonda imfuneko yokwenjenjalo. Akukho loyiko ngamaxhalanga; kanye njengokuba izibhalo zisitsho, “musa ukoyika” kwikholwa, (Isaya 41:10-13). Yintoni enokubangela ukuba inkukhu yoyike, ibaleke okanye ibhabha ayizukwazi nokuphazamisa amaxhalanga ekutyeni kungasathethwa ke ukubaleka okanye ukubhabha. Kwimeko-bume engalunganga amaxhalanga azifumana ezondliwe ziimfundiso neemfundiso ezingezizo kunye namantshontsho: kodwa hayi ixesha elide.

Namhlanje, kukho iinkuku ezininzi neenkozi ezizulazula kunye emhlabeni, zicinga ukuba ziyintsapho enye, ziyinkolelo nethemba. Basenokutyiswa ngelizwi elifanayo likaThixo okanye ukutya kuxutywe kakubi kodwa iziphumo ziyahluka. Umba ophambili kukuba ukutya kufuneka kuhambelane nohlobo lwembewu (DNA) kwinkukhu okanye ukhozi ngalunye. Akukho ndlela yakubahlula ngaphandle komnye; ilizwi leLizwi elithanjisiweyo likaThixo. Uyamangala ukuba kutheni na ekufikeni kweNkosi, xa ikhwaza, ngelizwi lesiphatha-zingelosi, abafileyo kuKristu baya kuvuka kwaye thina baphilayo kwaye basaseleyo siya kuxwilwa kunye nabo kwaye siya kutshintshwa. Thina kuthiwa siintlahlela kuye uThixo; ukanti Wenza indlela kubangcwele ababandezelekileyo abanjengexhalanga elibanjisiweyo kwindawo yenkukhu.

Ekuphela kwesizathu sokuba abafileyo okanye abo balele eNkosini baya kuvuka kungenxa yembewu kaThixo nokholo kubo. Into enokubakho yayikubo kokubini, ifile kwaye iyaphila, iinkozi zenyaniso zikaThixo. Ekuphela kwento efunwa ngamaxhalanga phakathi kweenkukhu lilizwi. Amakholwa amaninzi atya kunye neenkukhu kwaye aziphathe njengazo, kodwa ukuvuselela okanye imvuselelo iyeza; kuyahlanganisana isaqhwithi kwaye amaxhalanga aya kuliva ilizwi, abe nokuqonda. Baya kuthi ngequbuliso baqonde ukuba abangabantwana bamaxhalanga, bangamaxhalanga agqibelele.”— Mat. 25:1-10 . Baya kuqonda ukuba abazonkukhu, koko ngamaxhalanga asele ekhulile. Baya kulazi ilizwi kwaye baliqonde ilizwi lenyaniso okanye isibhalo senyaniso, (Dan. 10: 21). Abayi kuba noloyiko nasekufeni, ngenxa yokuba ukutyhilwa kwenyaniso kuya kucaca ngakumbi kubo.

Amaxhalanga aqolileyo ngokukhawuleza awasayi kuphinda akulangazelele ukutya kweenkukhu, aya kuphawula aze angaphindi azamkele iimfundiso neemfundiso zobuxoki. Umtshato wobuqhophololo uya kufikelela esiphelweni: njengoko amakholwa ezahlula kwezinye iinkolelo, nokulalanisa okusisibetho ngoku kwizangqa zamaKristu. Indoda izibanga ilikholwa lokwenyaniso yaye inkosikazi yayo ingumBhuda, okanye ikholelwa kubuSilamsi okanye nayiphi na enye inkolo. Iyure yokwahlula phakathi kweenkukhu kunye ne-eaglets sele ivuliwe. Niya kumangaliswa kwaoko kuthi, lowo useleyo, abhabhele esibhakabhakeni, ngelizwi likaYehova; iinkukhu okanye amaxhalanga. Ungubani wena? Ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka uyazi. Ilixa lesityhilelo lifikile. Musani ukukhohliswa, amaxhalanga akasayi kubhabha nje kuphela, kodwa aya kuntingela phezulu emafini ozuko njengoko amantshontsho eenkuku etyhutyha aze angene kwimbandezelo enkulu.

Iinkukhu ezininzi ezinkulu ziya kukhawuleza zifumanise ukuba enyanisweni zazingezizo iinkozi. Zazinkulu kancinane kunezinye zamaxhalanga; batya ngakumbi, benza ingxolo engakumbi, babebetha amaphiko abo ngamaxesha athile kodwa babeziinkuku nje kungekhona iinkozi. Ngoko ke amaKristu amaninzi nabashumayeli kufuneka balumke, baqiniseke ngembewu ekubo, kuba ilixa lokubonakalalisa nokwahlula lifikile. Abaninzi baya kumangaliswa kukuba ngubani inkukhu kwaye ngubani na okhozi. Nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo. Asingawo onke amaYuda angamaYuda, yaye asizizo zonke iintaka ezilukhozi. Isityhilelo, umbono kunye nokholo ngeLizwi kuya kubonisa ukuba yintoni imbewu ekuwe. Mhlawumbi uyinkukhu okanye ukhozi. Uhlobo lokutya olunomtsalane kuwe luya kukuxelela okanye lubonise nawuphi na umntu oqaphelayo, ukuba uyinkukhu okanye ukhozi. Amaxhalanga avalelwe kwithango leenkuku anyanzelwa ukuba atye oko iinkukhu zikunikwayo: ukuzibukela xa zisitya kuya kubonisa ukuba ukhozi lutya ngokungathandi kwaye umlomo walo nozipho kukutya inyama eyomeleleyo hayi ukutya kwenkukhu.

Khumbula ukuba unyana wolahleko wabhenela ekutyeni amaxolo ehagu. Kodwa akukho mntu wayenokumnika, engathethi ngombona wokwenene, ngenxa yendlala nobuhlwempu bakhe. Kodwa xa wabuyela kuye, wasabela kwisityhilelo sangaphakathi. Wakhala umama wokhozi yasabela intliziyo yonyana wolahleko. Wandula ke wathi, “Bangaphi na abaqeshwa bakabawo abanezonka (kungekhona amaxolo neemfundiso zobuxoki neemfundiso zobuxoki) ezaneleyo, kanti ke mna ndibulawa kukulamba” ( Luka 15:11-24 ). Unyana wolahleko wayefana nexhalanga elitya nenkukhu. Kodwa uncedo lwafika ekuqondeni kwakhe kokomoya. Imbewu kaThixo eyayikuye yasabela kwilizwi likaThixo ngomoya wakhe: waza wabonakalalisa ngokubuyela ezingqondweni, ekulungele ukuguquka abuyele kuyise. Abanyanisekileyo njengexhalanga baya kuliva ilizwi likaThixo eliyinyaniso, baphile. Baya kukhangela phezulu baze babethe amaphiko abo phantsi kwaye banyukele ebuqaqawulini. Iinkukhu azinakuyenza loo nto. Ukhozi olunamaphiko, njengoSamson oyimfama ( ABagwebi 16:20-30 ) luya kuphinda amaphiko azo ebudeni bembandezelo enkulu xa abaninzi besifa njengoko beqonda ukuba bangamaxhalanga kungekhona iinkuku. Uhlobo lwelizwi likaThixo olityayo luya kugqiba isiphumo sohlobo lwembewu ekuwe. Imbewu kaThixo okanye imbewu yenyoka iyakubonakaliswa, ngelizwi lenene likaThixo xa ingena kuwe. Amanzi anzongonzongo abiza enzonzobileni, (Iindumiso 42:7). Bahlanganiseleni kum abam benceba; abo banqophisene nam ngamadini, (igazi likaYesu Kristu idini lethu), (Iindumiso 50:5).
