“Sithumba yonke imicabango ukuze ilalele uKristu.”
2 KwabaseKhorinte 10:5
Lesi ngesinye isici sokuba ngongcwele okufuna umzamo omkhulu. UPawulu uthi, "Ngithumba wonke amacebo ukuze ngiwenze alalele uKristu." (Moffatt.) Yeka ubuningi bomsebenzi wobuKristu namuhla ongakaze uqeqeshwe, kodwa ovele wazalwa umfutho wesikhashana! Ekuphileni kweNkosi yethu wonke amacebo ayeqeqeshwe ukuba alalele intando kaYise. Akuzange kube khona nokunyakaza okukodwa okuvela emfuthweni wentando yaKhe okuhlukile entandweni kaYise — "INdodana ayinakwenza lutho ngokwayo." Manje ake sizibheke thina — siba nokuhlangenwe nakho kwezenkolo okucacile, futhi wonke amacebo azalwa umfutho wesikhashana asetshenziswa masinyane, esikhundleni sokuthunjwa nokuqeqeshelwa ukulalela uKristu.
Lesi yisikhathi lapho umsebenzi ongokoqobo ugcizelelwa ngokweqile, futhi abangcwele abathumba wonke amacebo bayagxekwa batshelwe ukuthi abazimisele ngempela ngoNkulunkulu noma ngemiphefumulo. Ukuzimisela kwangempela kutholakala ekulaleleni uNkulunkulu, hhayi ekuthambekeleni kokumkhonza okuvela emvelweni yomuntu engaqeqeshiwe. Akucabangeki, kodwa nokho kuyiqiniso, ukuthi abangcwele abawathumbi wonke amacebo, kodwa benzela uNkulunkulu umsebenzi ngokushukunyiswa yimvelo yabo yobuntu engakaguqulwa ibe ngeyomoya ngokuqeqeshwa okuzimisele.
Sivame ukukhohlwa ukuthi umuntu akazinikelanga kuJesu Kristu ngenxa yensindiso kuphela; uzinikele nasembonweni kaJesu Kristu ngoNkulunkulu, ngomhlaba, ngesono nangodeveli, futhi lokhu kusho ukuthi kumelwe aqaphele umthwalo wemfanelo wokuguqulwa kwakhe ngokuvuselelwa kwengqondo yakhe.
