MASIQAPHELE FUTHI SENZELE UMZALWANE WETHU UKHUBEKE
Ngikhumbula indodana yami manje esekhulile lapho ineminyaka emithathu. Wangibona ngizama ukushefa kanjalo, wathatha iphakethe elalingenalutho elaliqukethe insimbi yokushefa waqala ukwenza lokho angibona ngikwenza. Kuyafana nanamuhla; abantu abasha noma amaKristu amasha bavame ukulingisa lokho abakubona bekwenza amanye amaKristu avuthiwe.
Kungakuhle ukuthi sihlole 1st KwabaseKorinte 8: 1-13. Lo mbhalo usebenza ngolwazi lwethu nokuthi lungabathinta kanjani abanye abazalwane. Kukhona inkululeko kuKristu Jesu, kepha akumele siyivumele ibe yisikhubekiso kulabo ababuthakathaka. Kulokhu, embhalweni oshiwo ngenhla, kwakuyindaba yokudla izinto ezinikelwe ezithombeni. Futhi, kwabaseGalathiya 5:13 kufundeka kanje, “Ngokuba, bazalwane, nabizelwa enkululekweni, kuphela ningasebenzisi inkululeko yokuba kube yithuba enyameni, kodwa khonzanani ngothando.” NjengamaKristu akumele sisebenzise kabi inkululeko yethu kuKristu. Futhi, akumele sivumele umfowethu obuthakathaka afe, lowo uKristu amfela.
Namuhla kunezithixo eziningi, futhi izinhlobo zenyama enikelwe zihlukile. Okubalulekile lapha ukuthi inkululeko yakho ingaholi ekufeni komfowenu owafelwa nguKristu. Namuhla amaKrestu amaningi, zibandakanyeka kwinkululeko ethile engagcini ngokubabhubhisa kepha engaholela ekufeni komfowabo obuthakathaka uKristu amfela.
Inkinga yenkululeko ukuthi imvamisa iyasetshenziswa kabi, futhi imiphumela ingalimaza. Mayelana nengxoxo yamanje, sizobheka inkululeko nokuthi ithinta kanjani izimpilo zethu, umfowethu noma udadewethu obuthakathaka. Ake sibheke utshwala, ukungaziphathi kahle nezinkinga zezezimali nemiphumela yazo. Namuhla, amaKrestu amaningi kubalwa nabefundisi bevangeli likaKrestu basuka ekuphuzeni njalo ngezikhathi ezithile babe yizidakwa eziyimfihlo. Abanye bathunjwa ngokuziphatha okubi, kusuka ebufebeni, kuya ekuphingeni, ezithombeni ezingcolile, isithembu, ubungqingili bobulili obufanayo nokubi kakhulu. Abanye sebephenduke ukuhaha, baqola abafowabo, bakhwabanisa bese beba. Ungavumeli isela lifunde 1st Petru 4:15.
Wonke umKrestu kumele akhumbule ukuthi kunamaKrestu asemasha noma izinsana eNkosini; kukhona nalabo ababuthakathaka ekukholweni futhi kumele bakhuthazwe ngamaKrestu aqinile. Ngakho-ke, kufanele siqaphele ukugcina impilo nokuziphatha okuhle kobuKristu ukuze singadukisi noma imuphi omunye wabafowethu.
Cabanga nje ukuthi bekungenzekani kumfowethu osemncane noma obuthakathaka uma engakuthola wena [okuthiwa ungumKristu ovuthiwe] uphuza utshwala ngasese nokuthi ungaba yisidakwa ngasese. Uma umzalwane obuthakathaka noma osanda kuguquka ekuthola unengilazi yewayini, impendulo yakho iyoba yini? Uma lo mzalwane eqala ukuphuza utshwala ngemuva kokukubona wenza kanjalo, cabanga ukuthi impilo yakhe ingase ihambe kanjani. Angacabanga ukuthi kulungile futhi ngasese aqale ukwenza izinto ezifanayo abone wena uzenza. Angathunjwa unkulunkulu wokudakwa. Lo muntu angaba yindodana yakho noma ilungu lomndeni. Kungakuhle ukuthi kuboshwe itshe lokusila entanyeni yakho bese ucwiliswa olwandle.
Vuma ukukhohliswa, kodwa ungaphangi noma uthathe umfowenu enkantolo noma emthethweni. Imali namuhla iyisithixo kwabanye. Abaningi bayayikhonza futhi benze noma yini ukuyiqongelela. Abanye bathengisa izidakamizwa, abanye bathengisa imizimba yabo noma izitho zomzimba, noma bathengise abanye abantu ukuze bacebe. Abanye baqhamuka nezinhlelo zobudimoni ukuze bathole imali; nabashumayeli benza okufanayo. Cabanga nje ngomzalwane obuthakathaka noma osemusha oguqukayo obona amaKrestu amadala enza izinto ezinjalo futhi azilingise. Khumbula ukuthi laba ngabantu uKristu abafela esiphambanweni.
Ukuziphatha okubi kungenye indawo lapho abantu bedla khona inyama engabulala umzalwane. Gcina ubungcwele nobumsulwa bomphefumulo wakho nakwabanye. Lapho umzalwane ebona omunye ehlanganyela ekuziphatheni okubi futhi eqala kuleyo ndlela; umkhubekisile umfowenu. Mangikucacise, wena ovumela umzalwane noma udade obuthakathaka awe noma abe yisikhubekiso kuye lowo uKristu amfela uzobekwa icala ngempilo yabo ngenxa yokuthi isenzo sakho sabathonya kanjani.
Uma wona kubazalwane, ulimaza onembeza babo ababuthakathaka, wona uKristu (1 KwabaseKorinte 8: 12). Ekugcineni, uma inyama, ukuhaha, ukuziphatha okubi, ukudakwa noma okunye okunjalo kuzokwenza umfowethu akhubeke noma one; Ngeke ngenze into enjalo umhlaba umile, hleze ngenze umfowethu one noma akhubeke. Sisezinsukwini zokugcina futhi kufanele sibubuke bonke ubufakazi bethu nokuthi impilo nezenzo zethu zibathinta kanjani abanye. Futhi, kufanele sifunde ukuhlonipha izwi likaNkulunkulu. Uma sithembekile ekuphendukeni, uNkulunkulu uthembekile ukuxolela. Ukuzikhethela kungokwakho futhi kungokwami. Funda isiLilo 3: 40-41 esithi, “Masiphenye futhi sizame izindlela zethu, bese sibuyela eNkosini; masiphakamisele izinhliziyo zethu ngezandla zethu kuNkulunkulu emazulwini. ”
