UMQONDO WOKULAWULA KUKANKULUNKULU
“Pho kakhulu kangakanani uYihlo osezulwini eyobapha izinto ezinhle labo abacela kuYe?”
NgokukaMathewu 7:11
UJesu ubeka imithetho yokuziphatha yalabo abanoMoya waKhe. Ngempikiswano elula yala mavesi usinxusa ukuba sigcine izingqondo zethu zigcwele umqondo wokulawula kukaNkulunkulu okungemuva kwazo zonke izinto, okusho ukuthi umfundi kumelwe alondoloze isimo sengqondo sokwethemba okuphelele nokulangazelela ukucela nokufuna.
Yakha engqondweni yakho umqondo wokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona. Uma ingqondo yakho isibunjwe ngalowo mqondo, khona-ke lapho usebunzimeni kulula njengokuphefumula ukukhumbula — Phela, uBaba wami wazi konke ngakho! Akuwona umzamo, kuzenzakalela lapho ukudideka kukucindezela. Ngaphambili, wawujwayele ukuya kulo muntu nakulowo, kodwa manje umqondo wokulawula kukaNkulunkulu wakheka ngamandla amakhulu kuwe kangangokuthi uya kuNkulunkulu ngakho. UJesu ubeka imithetho yokuziphatha kulabo okukhona kubo uMoya waKhe, futhi le mithetho isebenza ngalesi simiso — UNkulunkulu unguBaba wami, uyangithanda, akukho lutho engiyoke ngilucabange Yena azolukhohlwa, pho kungani kufanele ngikhathazeke?
Kunezikhathi, kusho uJesu, lapho uNkulunkulu engeke abususe ubumnyama kuwe, kodwa methembe. UNkulunkulu uyobonakala njengomngane ongenamusa, kodwa akayena; uyobonakala njengoBaba ongenalo uthando lwemvelo, kodwa akayena; uyobonakala njengomahluleli ongenabulungisa, kodwa akayena. Gcina umqondo wokuthi ingqondo kaNkulunkulu ingemuva kwazo zonke izinto uqina futhi ukhula. Akukho okwenzekayo kunoma iyiphi indaba ngaphandle kokuba intando kaNkulunkulu ingemuva kwayo, ngakho ungaphumula ngokumethemba ngokuphelele Yena. Umthandazo awukhona ukucela kuphela, kodwa uyisimo sengqondo esiveza umoya lapho ukucela kuba ngokwemvelo ngokuphelele. "Celani, khona niyophiwa."
