Umbhali wamaHeberu waqhubeka nala mazwi akhuthazayo— “Masibambe isivumo sethemba lethu singantengantengi, ngokuba uthembekile owethembisayo. Futhi masicabangelane ukuze sivuselelane uthando nemisebenzi emihle, singakuyeki ukuhlangana kwethu ndawonye, njengoba kuwumkhuba wabanye, kodwa masikhuthazane, futhi ikakhulu njengoba nibona usuku lusondela.” (Heberu 10: 23-25)
Siyini ‘isivumo sethemba lethu’? Kuwukuvuma iqiniso lokuthi ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu kuyithemba lethu lokuphila okuphakade. Ukuphila kwethu kwenyama konke kuzophela. Kuthiwani ngezimpilo zethu ezingokomoya? Kuphela uma sizalwa nguNkulunkulu ngokomoya ngokukholwa kulokho uJesu asenzele khona lapho singathola khona ukuphila okuphakade.
UJesu, ekhuleka kuBaba, wathi ngokuphila okuphakade - “Yilokhu ukuphila okuphakade, ukuba bazi wena-Nkulunkulu wedwa weqiniso, noJesu Kristu omthumileyo. (Johane 17: 3)
UJesu wafundisa uNikodemu - Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Uma umuntu engazalwa ngamanzi nangoMoya, angengene embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Lokho okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama, nalokho okuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya. ” (Johane 3: 5-6)
UNkulunkulu uthembekile. UPawulu wafundisa uThimothewu— “Likholekile leli zwi: ngokuba uma safa kanye naye, siyakuphila futhi kanye naye. uma sibekezela, siyakubusa futhi kanye naye. Uma simphika, Naye uyakusiphika. Uma singathembeki, yena uhlala ethembekile; Angeke akwazi ukuziphika.” (2 Thimothewu 2:11-13)
UPawulu wakhuthaza amaRoma— “Ngakho-ke, sesilungisisiwe ngokholo, sinokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, esingaye futhi ukungena ngokholo kulomusa esimi kuwo, sizibonga ethembeni lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Akusikho lokho kuphela, kodwa sizibonga nangezinhlupheko, sazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuveza ukukhuthazela; ukubekezela kungukuziphatha; kanye nesimilo, ithemba.” (AmaRoma 5: 1-4)
Amakholwa angamaHeberu ayekhuthazwa ukuba aqhubekele phambili okholweni lwawo kuKristu, kunokukholwa kwawo emthethweni wesivumelwano esidala. Kuyo yonke incwadi eya kumaHeberu, babeboniswa ukuthi ubuJuda beTestamente Elidala base befike esiphethweni ngoJesu Kristu egcwalisa yonke inhloso yomthetho. Babexwayiswa futhi ngokubuyela emuva ekuthembeni emandleni abo okugcina umthetho kaMose, kunokuba bathembele kulokho uKristu ayebenzele kona.
Kwakumelwe bacabangelane ukuze kubonakale uthando nemisebenzi yabo emihle komunye nomunye. Kwakufanele futhi bahlangane ndawonye bakhuthazane noma bafundisane, ikakhulukazi njengoba bebona usuku lusondela.
Iluphi uSuku umlobi wamaHeberu ayebhekisela kulo? Usuku LweNkosi. Mhla iNkosi ibuya emhlabeni njengeNkosi yamaKhosi noMbusi wababusi.
