UKristu wafela izono zethu

Ekubethelweni kukaKristu, lapho esiphambanweni walenga phakathi komhlaba nezulu—umbukwane kubantu nasezingelosini lapho ukuhlupheka kwaba okungenakubekezelelwa njalo. Ukufa ngokubethelwa esiphambanweni kwaziwa ngokuhlanganisa isamba sakho konke ukuhlupheka umzimba ongakuthola: ukoma, umkhuhlane, amahloni avulekile, ukuhlushwa isikhathi eside. Ngokuvamile, ihora lasemini liyihora elikhanya kakhulu losuku, kodwa ngalolo suku, ubumnyama baqala ukwehlela emhlabeni emini enkulu. Imvelo ngokwayo, ingakwazi ukubekezelela isimo, yahoxisa ukukhanya kwayo, izulu laba mnyama. Lobu bumnyama baba nethonya elisheshayo kwababukele. Kwaphela ukuklolodelana nokuklolodelwa. Abantu baqala ukunyonyoba buthule, beshiya uKristu yedwa ukuba aphuze aze ajule kakhulu inhlese yokuhlupheka nokululazwa.

Lokhu kwalandelwa ukwesabeka okukhulu nakakhulu, ngoba esikhundleni sokuhlanganyela okujabulisayo noNkulunkulu, kwaba nokukhala kokucindezeleka. UKristu wazithola eshiywe ngokuphelele ngumuntu kanye noNkulunkulu. Ngisho nanamuhla, ukukhala kwaKhe kokuthi “Nkulunkulu Wami, Nkulunkulu Wami, UNgishiyeleni na?” kuletha ukuthuthumela kokwesaba. Ngokusobala kwakukhona into eyodwa uNkulunkulu ayeyigodle eNdodaneni Yakhe uJesu, funa ngisho Nayo ingakwazi ukuyithwala. Lokho kwakuwukuthi iqiniso elibi lafika kuKristu kuphela ngamahora okugcina obumnyama. Njengoba ilanga likuhosha ukukhanya kwalo, kanjalo nobukhona bukaNkulunkulu babuhoxiswa. Ngaphambi kwaleso sikhathi, nakuba ngezinye izikhathi eshiywe abantu, Wayengaphendukela njalo ngokuqiniseka kuBaba Wakhe osezulwini. Kodwa manje ngisho noNkulunkulu wayeseMshiyile, nakuba okwesikhashana nje; futhi isizathu sisobala: ngaleso sikhathi isono somhlaba kanye nabo bonke ububi bawo sasiphezu kuKristu. Waba yisono; Ngokuba yena ongasazi isono wamenza isono ngenxa yethu; ukuze senziwe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kuye (5 Korinte 21:2). Lapho sinempendulo yalokho okwenzeka ngokufa kukaKristu. UKristu wenziwa isono ngenxa yethu. Wathatha phezu Kwakhe isono sezwe, kuhlanganise nesakho nesami. UKristu, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wezwa ukufa ngenxa yawo wonke umuntu (KumaHeberu 9:7); kanjalo, Wathola ukwahlulelwa okwehlela esonweni. Njengoba ukuphela kwakusondela ekugcineni ngalolo suku, ukulahlekelwa igazi kwabangela ukoma okungenakuchazwa. UJesu wamemeza wathi: “Ngomile.” Owalenga esiphambanweni womile. Unguye Lowo manje Osuthisa ukoma kwemiphefumulo yethu—Uma ekhona owomileyo, makeze Kimi, aphuze (Johane 37:14). Lapho umzuzu wokugcina ufika, uKristu wagebisa ikhanda Lakhe ekufeni, ethi lapho efa, “Kufeziwe! Ukusindiswa kwase kuqediwe. Kwakuyinsindiso, hhayi imisebenzi okufanele izuzwe ngezijeziso, ngokuhambela izindawo ezingcwele noma ngokuzila ukudla. Insindiso ingumsebenzi oqediwe kuze kube phakade. Akudingekile ukuba siwuqedele ngemizamo yethu. Akukho okunye okumele kwenziwe, kodwa ukukwamukela. Asikho isidingo sokuzabalaza nokusebenza, kodwa ukuthatha buthule lokho uNkulunkulu akulungiselele njengoMhlatshelo ongapheli. Kanjalo noKristu wafa ngenxa yokusindiswa kwethu. Wavuswa futhi ngemva kwezinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu ngokunqoba okukhazimulayo ukuba angabe esafa. Ngakho-ke uthi, ngokuba ngiphila, nani nizakuphila (NgokukaJohane 19:XNUMX).

UNkulunkulu wenze konke angakwenza ukuze akulethele ukuphila okuphakade. Wakhokha inani eliphelele lokujeziswa ngenxa yezono zakho. Manje sekuyithuba lakho lokumamukela. UNkulunkulu ubona ingqondo nomphefumulo wakho. Uyayazi yonke imicabango yakho. Uma ufuna ngobuqotho ukwamukela uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ekuphileni kwakho, uyozalwa kabusha. Uzakuba ngumntwana kaNkulunkulu, njalo uNkulunkulu uzakuba nguYihlo. Ingabe uzomamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho manje uma ungakenzi kanjalo?
