Ubungqina bezinto ezinethemba
Emva kokuvuka kwakhe, u-Yesu waqhubeka nokulungiselela abafundi baKhe ukulungiselela “Ke kaloku uTomas, okuthiwa nguWele, omnye wabalishumi elinababini, wayengenabo oko wafikayo uYesu. Babesithi ngoko kuye abanye abafundi, Siyibonile iNkosi. Wathi ke kubo, Ukuba andithanga ndilibone inxeba lezikhonkwane ezandleni zayo, ndiwufake umnwe wam enxebeni lezikhonkwane, ndafaka isandla sam ecaleni lalo, andisayi kukholwa. Baye emveni kweentsuku ezisibhozo bekwangaphakathi abafundi bakhe; wayenabo noTomas. Afike uYesu, zakubon 'ukuba zivaliwe iingcango, eme phakathi, athi, Uxolo malube nani. Emva koko wathi kuTomas, 'Yiza nomnwe wakho apha, ujonge izandla zaM; uze nesandla sakho apha, usibeke ecaleni lam. Musa ukuba ngongakholwayo, kodwa kholwa. ' Uphendule uTomas wathi kuye, Nkosi yam, Thixo wam! Athi uYesu kuye, Ngokuba undibonile, Tomas, ukholiwe. Banoyolo abo bangabonanga, bakholwa noko. (KuYohane 20: 24-29) UYesu wayekwazi oko uTomas wayekufuna ukuze akholwe, kwaye wayekulungele ukumbonisa ubungqina ukuba uyabadinga. UYesu walatha kuTomas ukuba ngenxa yokuba embonile wakholwa; nangona kunjalo, banoyolo abo bangaboniyo uYesu kodwa baya kukholwa.
Ifundisa kumaHebhere ukuba ukholo yinto yezinto ezithenjiweyo, ubungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo (Hebhere 11: 1). Ikwasixelela ukuba ngaphandle kokholo akunakwenzeka ukukholisa uThixo (Hebhere 11: 6). Njengoko sijonga ukuba ukholo 'bubungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo,' ludibana njani ukholo nobungqina? Rhoqo xa sicinga ngokholo, asicingi ngobungqina. Kubonakala ngathi zizodwa. Ngama-11th Isahluko samaHebhere ('iholo yokholo'), sinikwa imizekelo yokholo okanye ubungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo: UNowa walungisa umkhombe; UAbraham washiya ilizwe lakowabo, wemka, engazi ukuba uya ngaphi na; UMoses wafihlwa ngabazali bakhe; UMoses wayishiya iYiputa; URahabhi wamkela iintlola; Oko bakwenzayo la makholwa ngaphambili bubungqina besandla sikaThixo esikhokelayo ebomini babo. AmaHebhere isahluko 11 nawo anika ubungqina obungaphezulu bento eyenziwe ngala makholwa: boyisile izikumkani; wenza ubulungisa; izithembiso ezifumanekileyo; yamisa imilomo yeengonyama; bacime ugonyamelo lomlilo; wasinda kubukrele; betyhafile; baba ngamagorha emfazweni; Wayiguqula imikhosi yabasemzini. abafileyo babo bavukile kwabafileyo kwakhona; bangcungcuthekiswa, bagculelwa, batyakatywa, bavalelwa entolongweni, baxulutywa ngamatye, basarhwa kubini, babulawa ngekrele; babhadula ngeemfele zeegusha; beswele, bebandezelekile,Hebhere 11: 32-40).
Ukholo lwethu alusoloko lukhokelela ekoyiseni ngokoqobo kwimiceli mngeni yobomi. Ukusebenzisa ukholo kuThixo kunokukhokelela kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zentshutshiso, kunye neenkxwaleko. Kude lee kwiimfundiso ezi-fluffy kunye nezobuxoki zeendaba ezilungileyo, njengoJoel Osteen ushumayela, ngala mazwi kaYesu- Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, yazini ukuba lindithiye kuqala kunani. Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi linge likuthanda okwalo; Ke ngokuba ningengabehlabathi, ndaninyulayo mna kulo ihlabathi, ngenxa yoko linithiyile ihlabathi. Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo mna kuni, elithi, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisa mna, bonitshutshisa nani; Ukuba ilizwi lam baligcina, nelenu boligcina. Ke ezi zinto zonke baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yegama lam, ngokuba bengamazi owandithumayo. (KuYohane 15: 18-21)
UTomas wayefuna ukubona kwaye abambe ubungqina bokuba uYesu uyiNkosi yaKhe evusiweyo ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Sihamba ngokholo, ukholo kwinto etyhiliweyo kuthi ngoYesu. Ngamana singangakhathazeki kwaye siphoxeke xa ubungqina kubomi bethu besandla sikaThixo bungeyiyo indlela eromayo okanye indlela yezitena etyheli ebesinokuba nethemba layo.
