Ubuntu bobuKristu emhlabeni odidayo
Ngingubani kuKristu emasikweni angidida
Ngingubani, ekugcineni?
UNozipho wayeneminyaka engu-22 futhi elahlekile. Hhayi ngendawo — ngokwempilo. Ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, wonke umuntu wabonakala azi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi uya kuphi. Wayezwa ukukhathazeka, ukuqhathanisa okuqhubekayo, nengcindezi emangalisayo yokuzichaza. Uma eguqulwa, othile wathi: 'Ubuntu bakho abuveli kulokho okwenzayo, kulokho abanye abakushwayo noma kulokho okuzwayo. Buvela kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ngawe.' Kwaba njengokuthola umhlaba oqinile emva kwezinyanga udadayo. Akushintshanga konke ngesikhathi esisodwa — kodwa kwanika ikhaya enhliziyweni.
Siphila emasikweni anjalo asitshela ukuthi kufanele sibe obani — futhi ashintsha umqondo njalo masonto. Izinkundla zokuxhumana, abezindaba, ingcindezi yomphakathi, izikhundla zamasiko: konke kumemeza kuzama ukuchaza ubuntu bakho.
UmKristu unekunqoba: ubuntu bakhe abakhiwe — buyambuliwe. Abuveli esibukweni, kubalandeli, emalini noma ekusebenzeni. Buvela kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ungubani kuKristu. Futhi lokho akushintshi ne-algorithm.
UPawulu usebenzisa izenzo ezimbili: 'ningalingisi' (yekani ukubunjwa yizwe) no'niguqulwe' (niguqulwe ngokwenziwa kabusha kwengqondo). Amasiko asebenza njengesifanekiso — uma ungamelani nawo, akubumba ngaphandle kokuthi uqaphele.
Ukwenziwa kabusha kwengqondo yinqubo yokushintsha izibuko. Esikhundleni sokubona iqiniso ngezibuko zamasiko, ubona ngezibuko zeZwi. Akuyikho ukushaya indiva umhlaba — ukuwuhumusha usuka kuNkulunkulu.
Ubuntu bakho obuyisisekelo kuKristu:
• Ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu (uJohane 1:12)
• Ungusidalwa esisha — okwedlule akuchazi ikusasa lakho (2 KwabaseKorinte 5:17)
• Uthandwa ngaphandle kwemibandela — akukho okungakuhlukanisa (KwabaseRoma 8:38-39)
• Ubizelwe ngenhloso — awuyikho isigameko (Kwabase-Efesu 2:10)
• Unguthempeli likaMoya oNgcwele — ungcwele, awulahleki (1 KwabaseKorinte 6:19)
Uma amasiko ezama ukukuchaza ngobuso, ukusebenza, ubulili noma isikhundla — unesisekelo esinganyakazeki: lokho uKristu akushoyo ungubani.
Izinselele zanamuhla kubutho bobuKristu Bonisa
Izinkundla zokuxhumana nokuqhathanisa: I-Instagram ibonisa izinguqulo ezilungisiwe zeqiniso. Ukuqhathanisa kuntshontsha ukuthula. Ikhambi: ukuzila izinkundla, ukubonga okunenhloso, ukukhumbula ukuthi ububaluleka bakho abukali ngama-likes.
Ukukhathazeka nempilo yengqondo: Akuyikho ukungakholwa — yiqiniso lomhlaba owile. Ukufuna usizo lwabangcweti akuyikho ubuthakathaka. UNkulunkulu angasebenzisa izazi zengqondo nodokotela njengamathuluzi. Ukholo nokwelashwa kuhamba ndawonye.
Ingcindezi yamasiko ngobulili nobuzwe: Amasiko abuchaza kabusha njalo. IBhayibheli iqhubeka: uNkulunkulu wadala indoda nowesifazane ngesithombe sakhe (uGenesisi 1:27). Ubulili yisipho sikaNkulunkulu somshado phakathi kwendoda nowesifazane. Ukuqina eZwini ngobubele kubantu.
Ukuhluka okuzikholelayo: 'Yilowo nalowo neqiniso lakhe' yifilosofi ehamba phambili. UmKristu uqinisekisa ngokuthobeka: likhona iqiniso elivezwe nguNkulunkulu. Asizona izinkosi zeqiniso — kodwa siyamazi onguQiniso (uJohane 14:6).
Isimo esiphakanyisiwe: Ukuqina ngobumnene. Ukuqiniseka ngaphandle kokuzikhukhumeza. Uthando ngaphandle kokuguquka. Ubukhona ngaphandle kokulingisa.
UPetru unika ubuntu obuhlanganyelwe kubantu bakaNkulunkulu: abakhethiweyo, abapristi, abangcwele, abakhethekileyo. Lokhu akuyikho ukuzikhukhumeza — ngumthwalo. Sihlukile hhayi ukuzihlukanisa, kodwa ukumemezela ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
Ubuntu bobuKristu abuyikho ukumelana namasiko — kungokaKristu ngaphakathi kwamasiko. Asibaleki emhlabeni; siphila kuwo njengosawoti nokukhanya (uMathewu 5:13-16). Sikhona, sibalulekile, kodwa asingalingisi.
“Isisekelo nesu elikhulu lokufundisa umkhuba wokufunda ukuthanda umakhelwane njengoba uKristu esithanda.”

Uthatha kuphi ubuntu bakho — kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo noma kulokho amasiko akushoyo?

Ikhona yini indawo ozwa u'lingisa' isikhathi samanje ngaphandle kokuqaphela?

Bekuzohluka kanjani usuku lwakho uma ubephila wazi ngokuphelele ukuthi ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu, uthandwa, unenhloso?
Kuleli sonto
Yenza 'ukuhlola amazwi': amazwi mani athinta ubuntu bakho kakhulu nsuku zonke? (izinkundla zokuxhumana, abasebenzi, umndeni, iZwi, amasiko). Bona ukuthi likhona yini izwi elithatha indawo okufanele ibe eyeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Uma kudingeka, yenza ukuzila kwezinkundla zokuxhumana izinsuku ezintathu usebenzise isikhathi ukufunda Kwabase-Efesu 1-3 (okucebe ngobuntu kuKristu). EQenjini Elincane, yabelanani: 'Iqiniso lini ngobuntu bami kuKristu engidinga ukulibeka ngokuqinile?'
Ukuvala
“Baba, ngiyabonga ukuthi ubuntu bami abuncikile kulokho umhlaba okushoyo — buncike kulokho wena okushoyo. Ngingumntwana wakho. Ngithandwa. Ngiyisidalwa esisha. Yenza kabusha ingqondo yami ukuze ngibone iqiniso ngezibuko zakho. Ngikhulule ekuqhathaniseni, ekukhathazekeni nasengcindezeleni yokuba engingekho. KuKristu ngiyazi ukuthi ngingubani. Egameni likaJesu, amen.”
Komfundisi
Inhloso
Siza lowo ofundiswa ukuqinisa ubuntu bakhe kuKristu phambi kwezingcindezi zamasiko zanamuhla (izinkundla zokuxhumana, ukuhluka okuzikholelayo, ukukhathazeka, izindaba zobulili) — ngokuqina kweBhayibheli nobuciko bokwelusa.
Imibuzo enzima
- Lowo ophethwe ukukhathazeka noma ukudangala? Ukungakholwa? Cha. Impilo yengqondo inezizathu eziningi (ezomzimba, ezemizwa, ezomoya). Ukufuna usizo lwabangcweti ukuhlakanipha, hhayi ubuthakathaka. Ukholo nokwelashwa kuyaphelisana, akuphikisani.
- Ngibaphatha kanjani abangane/umndeni abaphila ngendlela ephambene neBhayibheli? Thanda ngaphandle kokwamukela isono. Ubukhona abuyikho ukuvumelana. UJesu wadla nezoni ngaphandle kokuba yisoni. Gcina ubudlelwano — ungashisi amabhilidi — uphile ubufakazi bakho.
- IBhayibheli ayikhishwe esikhathini ukukhuluma ngezihloko zanamuhla? Izihloko zishintsha isimo, hhayi ingqikithi. Ubuntu, ubulili, inhloso, ukukhathazeka — izihloko zabantu ezindala. IZwi linika izisekelo ezingaguquki, hhayi amaresiphi adlulelwe yisikhathi.
- Uma nginalwa nobuntu bami (ubulili, ukuzethemba, inhloso)? Awuyikho ukulwa kwakho. Ubuntu bakho yilokho uKristu akushoyo ungubani. Kodwa uhambo lokuqondanisa imizwa neqiniso lungaba lude. Funa ukuhambisana komfundisi, yiba oqotho kuNkulunkulu nakubantu abaphephile.
Amacebiso angokoqobo
- Lesi sihloko sibaluleke kakhulu kwintsha. Lungisa ulimi uma iqembu lisha.
- Qaphela ukungaguquli isifundo sibe yinkundla yezombusazwe noma yamasiko. Igxilile kubuntu kuKristu, hhayi empini yamasiko.
- Uma othile evula ngezimpi zempilo yengqondo, mamukele ngobuqotho. Uma kudingeka, qondisa ekuhambisaneni komfundisi nabangcweti.
- Sebenzisa izinkundla zokuxhumana njengesibonelo esisebenzayo: 'Okungaki enikupostayo okwakhela ubuntu nokuthola ukwamkelwa?' Lokhu kudala ukucabanga ngaphandle kokwahlulela.
