UKUBONA OKUVULIWE
“Ukuvula amehlo abo . . . ukuze bamukele . . .”
IZenzo 26:18
Leli vesi liwukufingqwa okukhulu kakhulu komsebenzi wokusakaza womfundi kaJesu Kristu kulo lonke iTestamente Elisha.
Umsebenzi wokuqala obusayo womusa ufingqwa ezwini elithi — "ukuze bamukele ukwesulwa kwezono." Lapho umuntu ehluleka kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe siqu kobuKristu, cishe njalo kungenxa yokuthi akakaze amukele lutho. Okuwukuphela kwesibonakaliso sokuthi umuntu usindisiwe ukuthi wamukele okuthile kuJesu Kristu. Ingxenye yethu njengezisebenzi zikaNkulunkulu iwukuvula amehlo abantu ukuze baziphendule basuke ebumnyameni baye ekukhanyeni; kodwa lokho akuyona insindiso, kuwukuguquka — umzamo womuntu ovusiwe. Angicabangi ukuthi kuwukweqisa ukusho ukuthi iningi lamaKristu ngegama kuphela lingalolu hlobo; amehlo abo avuliwe, kodwa abamukelanga lutho. Ukuguquka akukhona ukuzalwa kabusha ngokomoya. Lesi ngesinye sezici ezinganakwa ekushumayeleni kwethu namuhla. Lapho umuntu ezalwa kabusha, uyazi ukuthi kungenxa yokuthi wamukele okuthile njengesipho kuNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke hhayi ngenxa yesinqumo sakhe. Abantu babhalisa izifungo zabo, futhi basayine izithembiso zabo, futhi bazimisele ukuqhubeka kuze kube sekugcineni, kodwa akukho kulokhu okuyinsindiso. Insindiso isho ukuthi silethwa lapho sikwazi khona ukwamukela okuthile kuNkulunkulu ngegunya likaJesu Kristu, okungukuthi, ukwesulwa kwezono.
Khona-ke kulandela umsebenzi wesibili onamandla womusa — "ifa phakathi kwalabo abangcwelisiwe." Ekungcwelisweni umphefumulo ozelwe kabusha ngokomoya unikela ngamabomu ilungelo lawo phezu kwawo uqobo kuJesu Kristu, futhi uzihlanganisa ngokuphelele nesithakazelo sikaNkulunkulu kwabanye abantu.
