Izithelo zeqiniso zivela kuphela ngokuhlala emvinini weqiniso
UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe kungekudala ngaphambi kokuba afe, “Ngeke ngisakhuluma okuningi nawe, ngoba umbusi waleli zwe uyeza, futhi akanalutho kimi. Kepha ukuze izwe lazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, ngenza njengoba uBaba engiyalile. Sukumani, sisuke lapha. '” (Johane 14: 30-31Umbusi waleli zwe lamanje nguSathane, isidalwa esinamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo owawa ezulwini ngenxa yokuziqhenya kwakhe. Manje usebenzisa lesi simiso somhlaba “ngamandla, ngokuhaha, ngobugovu, ngokuhaha nangokuzitika ngesono.” (IScofield 1744Ekugcineni, uSathane waletha ukufa kukaJesu nokubethelwa, kodwa uJesu wanqoba uSathane. Wavuka kwabafileyo, wavula umnyango wokuphila okuphakade kubo bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abeza kuye ngokukholwa.
UJesu wabe esekhuluma kubafundi bakhe ngomvini weqiniso, nangamagatsha. Wazikhomba njengomvini weqiniso, uYise njengomlimi wesivini, namagatsha njengalabo abamlandelayo. Wabatshela, “'Uma nihlala kimi, namazwi ami ehlala kini, niyakucela enikufunayo, niyakuphiwa khona. Ngalokhu uBaba wami uyadunyiswa, ukuthi nithele izithelo eziningi; ngakho-ke nizakuba ngabafundi Bami. Njengoba uBaba engithanda, nami nginithandile; hlalani othandweni lwami. Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. ” (Johane 15: 7-10)
Singalindela yini ukucela uNkulunkulu noma yini esiyifunayo? Cha, wathi uma 'nihlala Kimi, namazwi Ami ehlala kini, niyakucela lokho enikufisayo, niyakuphiwa khona.' Ngokuthi “sihlale” kuNkulunkulu, futhi sivumele izwi Lakhe ukuba “lihlale” kithina, bese sicela lezo zinto ezimthokozisayo yena, hhayi okujabulisa imvelo yethu ewile. Siqala ukufuna lokho akufunayo, ngaphezu kwalokho esikufunayo. Sibona ukuthi intando Yakhe iyona engcono kakhulu kithi, noma kungenzekani. UJesu wathi thina “sihlale othandweni Lwakhe.” Uthe uma sigcina imiyalo yaKhe, "sihlala" othandweni Lwakhe. Uma singalaleli izwi Lakhe, siyazihlukanisa nothando Lwakhe. Uyaqhubeka nokusithanda, kepha ekuvukeleni kwethu, siphula ubudlelwane naye. Kodwa-ke, ugcwele isihe nomusa, futhi lapho siphenduka (sijika) ekuhlubukeni kwethu, Uyasamukela futhi sibuyele ebudlelwaneni.
UZimu ufuna sithele iinthelo ezinengi. Lesi sithelo sichazwa ngaphakathi KwabaseRoma 1: 13 njengabaguqukele ivangeli; in Galathiya 5: 22-23 njengezici zobuntu ezinjengothando, injabulo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, umusa, ubuhle, ukwethembeka, ubumnene nokuzithiba; futhi UPhil. 1: 9-11 njengabantu abagcwaliswa ngezithelo zokulunga, ezi 'ngo' Jesu Kristu, kube yinkazimulo nodumo lukaNkulunkulu. Ngokwethu, noma ngemizamo yethu, asikwazi ukukhiqiza 'isithelo' sangempela sikaNkulunkulu. Lezi zithelo ziza kuphela 'ngokuhlala' Kuye, futhi zivumela izwi Lakhe elinamandla ukuthi 'lihlale' kithi. Njengoba uScofield esho, "Izimfanelo zokuziphatha kobuKristu, okuyizithelo zikaMoya, kuvame ukulingiswa kodwa kungaphindi kwenziwe." (IScofield 1478)
Uma ungazi uJesu Kristu. Ufuna uqonde ukuthi weza emhlabeni, wazimboza ngeveli enyameni, waphila impilo ephelele engenasono, futhi wafa njengomhlatshelo ovumayo ukukhokhela izono zethu. Yinye kuphela indlela yokuphila naYe okuphakade. Kufanele uphendukele kuye ngokholo, uqaphela ukuthi uyisoni esidinga ukusindiswa. Mcele ukuba akusindise olakeni lwaphakade. Labo abangaphendukeli kuYe, bahlala ngaphansi kolaka lukaNkulunkulu, oluhlala phakade. UJesu ukuphela kwendlela yokuphuma kulolaka. Mamukele abe yiNkosi noMsindisi wakho. Uzoqala umsebenzi wenguquko ngaphakathi kwempilo yakho. Uzokwenzela indalo entsha ingaphakathi ngaphakathi. Njengoba ivesi elaziwa kahle lemibhalo limemezela: “Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuthi yilowo nalowo okholwa kuye angabhubhi kepha abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukulahla umhlaba, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo. ” (Johane 3: 16-17)
