UKUBUYISANA
“Ngokuba uNkulunkulu wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, Lowo owayengasazi isono; ukuze senziwe sibe ngukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kuYe.”
2 KwabaseKhorinte 5:21
Isono siwubudlelwane obuyisisekelo; asikho ekwenzeni okubi, siwukuba khona ngokungalungile, ukuzimela ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu ngamabomu nangokugcizelela. Inkolo yobuKristu isekela konke esimweni sesono esingokoqobo, nesiyimpande. Ezinye izinkolo zibhekana nezono; iBhayibheli kuphela elibhekana nesono. Into yokuqala uJesu Kristu abhekana nayo kubantu kwakuyifa lesono, futhi kungenxa yokuthi sikushaye indiva lokhu ekwethuleni kwethu iVangeli ukuthi umlayezo weVangeli ulahlekelwe udosi lwawo namandla awo okuqhumisa.
Isambulo seBhayibheli akusikho ukuthi uJesu Kristu wathwala phezu kwaKhe izono zethu zenyama, kodwa ukuthi wathwala phezu kwaKhe ifa lesono okungekho muntu ongalithinta. UNkulunkulu wenza iNdodana yaKhe uqobo ukuba ibe yisono ukuze enze isoni sibe ngongcwele. Kulo lonke iBhayibheli kwembulwa ukuthi iNkosi yethu yathwala isono sezwe ngokuzihlanganisa, hhayi ngozwela. Wasithatha ngamabomu emahlombe aKhe uqobo, futhi wasithwala ngoMuntu waKhe uqobo, sonke isono esinqwabelene sesintu — "uNkulunkulu wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, Lowo owayengasazi isono," futhi ngokwenza kanjalo wabeka sonke isintu esisekelweni sokuHlengwa. UJesu Kristu wabuyisela isintu esimweni; wasibuyisela lapho uNkulunkulu ayekuhlelele ukuba sibe khona, futhi noma ubani angangena ebunyeni noNkulunkulu ngenxa yalokho iNkosi yethu ekwenzile esiphambanweni.
Umuntu akakwazi ukuzihlenga; ukuHlengwa "kuyingxenye kaNkulunkulu," kuqedwe ngokuphelele futhi kuphelele; ukusetshenziswa kwako kubantu ngabanye kuwumbuzo wesenzo sabo ngabanye. Umehluko kufanele njalo wenziwe phakathi kwesambulo sokuHlengwa nokuzwa ngokuqaphela insindiso empilweni yomuntu.
