UKUCABANGA KOKHOLO OKUVELA KUNKULUNKULU
“Kodwa funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu, nokulunga kwaKhe; zonke lezi zinto ziyokwenezelwa kini.”
NgokukaMathewu 6:33
Lapho nje sibheka la mazwi kaJesu, sithola kuwo isisho esiguqula izinto kunazo zonke ezake zezwakala ezindlebeni zabantu. "Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu." Siphikisa ngendlela ephambene ngokuphelele, ngisho nalabo phakathi kwethu abagxile kakhulu ezintweni zomoya — "Kodwa kumelwe ngiphile; kumelwe ngithole imali engaka; kumelwe ngembathiswe; kumelwe ngondliwe." Okusikhathaza kakhulu ekuphileni kwethu akuwona umbuso kaNkulunkulu, kodwa indlela esiyozilungiselela ngayo ukuphila. UJesu uphendula uhlelo: Qala ngokuba nobudlelwano obulungile noNkulunkulu, ugcine lokho kuyinto enkulu ekhathalelwa ukuphila kwakho, futhi ungalokothi ubeke umthwalo wokukhathazeka kwakho kulezi ezinye izinto.
"Ningakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu. . . ." INkosi yethu iveza ukungabi nangqondo okuphelele ngokombono waKhe kokukhathazeka kangaka ngezindlela zokuphila. UJesu akasho ukuthi umuntu ongacabangi ngalutho ubusisiwe — lowo muntu uyisiwula. UJesu wafundisa ukuthi umfundi kumelwe enze ubudlelwano bakhe noNkulunkulu bube yinto ebusayo agxila kuyo ekuphileni kwakhe, futhi abe ongenankathazo ngokucophelela ngazo zonke ezinye izinto uma ziqhathaniswa nalokho. UJesu uthi — "Ungakwenzi lokho ozokudla nalokho ozokuphuza kube yinto ebusa ukuphila kwakho, kodwa gxila ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu." Abanye abantu abanaki abakudlayo nabakuphuzayo, bese behlupheka ngenxa yalokho; abanaki abakugqokayo, futhi babukeka ngendlela okungafanele babukeke ngayo; abanaki izindaba zabo zasemhlabeni, futhi uNkulunkulu ubabophezela ukuba baphendule ngalokho. UJesu uthi into enkulu okumelwe ikhathalelwe ekuphileni ukubeka ubudlelwano noNkulunkulu kuqala, zonke ezinye izinto zibe ngokwesibili.
Kungesinye seziyalo ezinzima kunazo zonke ekuphileni kobuKristu ukuvumela uMoya oNgcwele asenze sivumelane nemfundiso kaJesu kula mavesi.
