Ubungqina bokwenyani bokutyelela iparadesi

2 Kor. 12:1-10 Ndazi umntu okuKristu, ekusekuyiminyaka elishumi elinamine (nokuba ubesemzimbeni na, andazi, nokuba ubengekho na emzimbeni, andazi; kwaziwa nguThixo), ethe lowo waxwilwa, wasiwa ezulwini. izulu lesithathu, ukuba waxwilwa wasiwa eparadesi, weva amazwi angenakuthethwa, ekungavumelekileyo ukuba umntu awathethe; bathi yayingathetheki yaye mhlawumbi ingcwele. UThixo uyalityhila izulu nenyaniso yezulu kubantu abohlukeneyo kuba izulu liyinyani kunomhlaba nesihogo.
Izulu linomnyango. INdumiso 139:8 ifundeka ngolu hlobo: “Ukuba ndithe ndenyuka ndaya emazulwini, ulapho wena; ukuba ndithe ndazandlalela kwelabafileyo, nanko ukho.” Lo yayingukumkani uDavide owayelangazelela izulu, ethetha ngezulu nesihogo, ecacisa ukuba uThixo nguye ophetheyo ezulwini nasesihogweni. Isihogo, kunye neZulu zisavulekile, kwaye abantu bangena kuzo ngesimo sabo sengqondo ngakumnyango kuphela. UYohane 10:9 ufundeka ngolu hlobo, “Ndim isango: ukuba umntu uthe wangena ngam, wosindiswa (enze izulu), angene ephuma, afumane utyani.” Abo bawugatyayo lo mnyango baya esihogweni; olu mnyango nguYesu Krestu.
Izulu liyindalo kaThixo, yaye ligqibelele. Izulu lidalelwe abantu abangafezekanga, abenziwe bagqibelela ngokwamkela igazi likaYesu Kristu, elaphalala emnqamlezweni weKalvari. Maxa wambi ekuphela kwento esinokuyenza kukugcina iinkumbulo zabafi ziphila kuthi; ngokubambelela kwidinga likaKrestu iNkosi. Kuba izulu liyinyaniso yaye liyinene, kuba uYesu Kristu watsho njalo eBhayibhileni. Kwanabafileyo baphumle ethembeni lesithembiso sikaThixo. Eparadesi abantu bayathetha kodwa balinda kuphela ixesha elimisiweyo laxa ixilongo lokuxwila liya kukhala. ISityhi. 21:1-5 , izulu liyindawo emangalisayo, yaye akukho mntu waziyo ukuba likhulu kangakanani noko likuquletheyo. Liziko lomyalelo apho izinto ziqala khona kwaye zenzeke. Ngokomzekelo, kwindinyana 2, uYohane wathi, “Ndawubona umzi ongcwele, iYerusalem entsha, usihla uphuma kuThixo, uphuma emazulwini, ulungisiwe njengomtshakazi ehonjiselwe indoda yakhe.

Kwabakho nezwi eliphuma ezulwini, lisithi, Yabona, umnquba lo kaThixo unabantu; uya kuhlala nabo emnqubeni, bona babe ngabantu bakhe, yena uThixo abe nabo, enguThixo wabo. Azisule uThixo zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo; kungabi sabakho kufa, kungabi sabakho nasijwili, nakukhala, nantlungu; ngokuba izinto zokuqala zigqithile.
Ngaba unokusithelekelela isixeko nobomi obungenakufa, kungabikho kukhala, ntlungu, lusizi nangaphezulu? Kutheni le nto nayiphi na indoda enengqondo ephilileyo inokucinga ngokuhlala ngaphandle kolu hlobo lwemekobume? Obu bubukumkani bamazulu, ukukholelwa nokwamkela uYesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi kuphela kwencwadana yokundwendwela kule ndalo iphela. Phendukela kuYesu Krestu namhlanje, kuba ngumhla wosindiso, Ⅱ Kor. 2:6.

Ezulwini akusayi kuba sabakho sono, imisebenzi yenyama ayisayi kuba sabakho, uloyiko nobuxoki buya kuba sabakho. ISityhi. 21:22-23 sithi: “Andibonanga tempile kuwo, kuba iNkosi uThixo uSomandla nayo iMvana yitempile yawo. Umzi lowo awufuni langa, kwanayo inyanga, kuba ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo buwukhanyisela, nayo iMvana isisibane sawo.” Abanye basenokuthi, ngaba sithetha ngezulu elitsha, umhlaba omtsha, okanye iYerusalem eNtsha; akunamsebenzi, izulu liyitrone kaThixo kwaye yonke into ekwindalo entsha iza ngegunya likaThixo. Qinisekisa ukuba wamkelekile kuyo. Ukuba anithanga niguquke, niya kutshabalala ngokunjalo. Guquka kwaye uguquke wenze izulu.
