ISIGQILA SIKAJESU SEMPILO YONKE
“Ngibethelwe esiphambanweni kanye noKristu; nokho ngiyaphila; kodwa akuseyimi, uKristu uphila kimi.”
KwabaseGalathiya 2:20
La mazwi asho ukwephula kwami ukuzimela ngesandla sami nokuzinikela ebukhosini beNkosi uJesu. Akekho ongangenzela lokhu, kumelwe ngizenzele mina. UNkulunkulu angangifikisa kuleli phuzu izikhathi ezingamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu ngonyaka, kodwa akanakungenza ngidlule kulo. Kusho ukwephula ikhoba lokuzimela kwami komuntu ngamunye ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu, nokukhulula ubuntu bami ukuba bungene ebunyeni naYe uqobo, hhayi ngenxa yemibono yami, kodwa ngenxa yokwethembeka okuphelele kuJesu. Akusekho nhlobo ukuphikisana lapho sengifikile lapho. Bambalwa kakhulu kithi abazi lutho ngokwethembeka kuKristu — "Ngenxa yaMi." Yilokho okwenza ongcwele wensimbi.
Ingabe lokho kuphuka sekwenzekile? Konke okunye kuwukukhohlisa okuzishaya okungcwele. Iphuzu elilodwa elinqumayo lithi — Ingabe ngizodela, ngizinikele kuJesu Kristu, futhi ngingabeki mibandela nhlobo yokuthi lokho kuphuka kwenzeka kanjani? Kumelwe ngephulwe ekuzazini kwami uqobo, futhi ngokushesha lapho lelo phuzu lifinyelelwa, ubuqiniso bokuzihlanganisa okungaphezu kwemvelo benzeka ngaso leso sikhathi, futhi ubufakazi boMoya kaNkulunkulu abunakudidaniswa — "Ngibethelwe esiphambanweni kanye noKristu."
Ukushisekela kobuKristu ukuthi ngiwadedele ngamabomu amalungelo ami ngokuwasayina futhi ngibe isigqila sikaJesu Kristu sempilo yonke. Kuze kube yilapho ngenza lokho, angikaqali ukuba ngongcwele.
Umfundi oyedwa ngonyaka owezwa ubizo lukaNkulunkulu ubenganele ukuba uNkulunkulu abize leli Kholeji libe khona. Leli Kholeji njengenhlangano alisho lutho, alisona isikhungo semfundo; alikho ngenxa yokunye ngaphandle kokuba uNkulunkulu azithathele ukuphila kwabantu. Ingabe uzozithathela ukuphila kwethu, noma simatasa ngomqondo wethu walokho esizoba yikho?
