Umbhali wamaHebhere waqhubeka nala mazwi akhuthazayo— “Masilubambe nkqi uvumo lwethu lwethemba, singaxengaxengi, ngokuba uthembekile lowo usithembisileyo. Masinyamekelane, sivuselelane uthando nemisebenzi emihle, singakutyesheli ukuhlanganisana kwethu ndawonye, njengoko kulisiko labathile ukwenjenjalo, kodwa masivuselelane, ngokungakumbi njengoko niyibonayo ukuba imini leyo iyasondela. (Hebhere 10: 23-25)
Siyintoni ‘uvumo lwethu lwethemba’? Kukuvuma isibakala sokuba ukufa nokuvuka kukaYesu lithemba lethu lobomi obungunaphakade. Ubomi bethu benyama bonke buya kuphela. Kuthekani ngobomi bethu bokomoya? Kuphela kuxa sizelwe nguThixo ngokwasemoyeni ngokholo kwinto asenzele yona uYesu apho sinokuthi sibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade.
UYesu, ethandaza kuYise, wathetha ngobomi obungunaphakade— “Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo.” (KuYohane 17: 3)
UYesu wafundisa uNikodemo - Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Ukuba umntu akathanga azalwe ngamanzi nanguMoya, akanakungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama, nokuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya. ” (KuYohane 3: 5-6)
UThixo uthembekile. UPawulos wafundisa uTimoti— “Lithembekile ilizwi eli: kuba xa safa naye, sodla ubomi kwandawonye naye. ukuba siyanyamezela, solawula kwandawonye naye; Ukuba siyamkhanyela, naye wosikhanyela. ukuba asithembekile, yena uhlala ethembekile; akanako ukuzikhanyela. (2 Timoti 2:11-13)
UPawulos wakhuthaza amaRoma— “Ngoko ke, sigwetyelwe nje ngokwaselukholweni, sinoxolo kuThixo ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, esaba nako ngaye ukuthi singene ngokholo kolu lubabalo simiyo kulo, siqhayise ngokuthemba uzuko lukaThixo. Asiyikuphela ke loo nto; sizingca nangeembandezelo ezi, sisazi ukuba imbandezelo isebenza unyamezelo; unyamezelo ke lusebenza ukucikideka; kunye nomlingiswa, ithemba. (AmaRoma 5: 1-4)
Amakholwa angamaHebhere ayekhuthazwa ukuba aqhubele phambili elukholweni lwawo kuKristu, kunokukholwa kwawo kumthetho womnqophiso omdala. Kuyo yonke incwadi eya kumaHebhere, ayeboniswa ukuba ubuYuda beTestamente eNdala bafikelela esiphelweni ngoYesu Kristu ezalisekisa yonke injongo yomthetho. Kwakhona babelunyukiswa ngokubuyela umva ekuthembeni kumandla abo okugcina umthetho kaMoses, kunokuba bathembele koko uKristu wabenzela kona.
Babemele bacingelane ukuze uthando lwabo nemisebenzi yabo emihle lubonakale omnye komnye. Kananjalo babeza kuhlanganisana ndawonye, bavuselelane, okanye bafundisane, ngokukodwa njengoko beyibona ukuba imini leyo iyasondela.
Yiyiphi iMini awayebhekisela kuyo umbhali wamaHebhere? Imini yeNkosi. Mhla iNkosi ibuyela emhlabeni njengoKumkani kaKumkani neNkosi yeeNkosi.
