"Ndikholelwa kuphela into endiyibonayo nendiyiqondayo," abanye bathi... NguEllet Wagoner (1855-1916)

UmKristu ukholelwa kwinto engabonakaliyo. Oku kumenza ongakholwayo azibuze aze amhleke, ade amjongele phantsi. Umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo ulugqala ukholo olulula lomKristu njengophawu lobuthathaka bengqondo. Ngoncumo olucekethekileyo, ucinga ukuba eyakhe ingqondo ingaphezulu, kuba akaze akholelwe nantoni na engenabungqina; akakhawulezi afikelele kwizigqibo kwaye akakholelwa kwinto angayiboniyo nangayiqondiyo.

Intetho ethi indoda ekholelwa kuphela into enokuyiqonda inenkolelo emfutshane kakhulu iyinyaniso njengokuba i-banal. Akukho sifilosofi esiphilayo (okanye isazinzulu) esiqonda ngokupheleleyo kunye nekhulu lezinto ezilula ezizibonayo imihla ngemihla ... Enyanisweni, phakathi kwazo zonke iziganeko eziphonononga iingcali zefilosofi, akukho namnye oyena nobangela wazo. uyakwazi ukuchaza.

Ukholo yinto eqhelekileyo. Wonke umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uyakholelwa; kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi ude abe krelekrele. Ukholo yinxalenye yayo yonke imicimbi yeshishini kunye nayo yonke imicimbi yobomi. Abantu ababini bayavuma ukwenza ishishini elithile ngexesha kunye nendawo ethile; elowo uthemba ilizwi lomnye. Usomashishini uyabathemba abasebenzi bakhe kunye nabathengi bakhe. Ngaphezu koko, ukholose, mhlawumbi engazi, nangoThixo; kuba uthumela iinqanawa zakhe elwandle, enethemba lokuba ziya kubuya zithwele iimpahla. Uyazi ukuba ukubuyela kwawo ngokukhuselekileyo kuxhomekeke kumoya namaza angaphaya kwamandla omntu. Nangona engazange acinge ngamandla alawula imozulu, ukholo lwakhe uthembele kubaphathi beenqanawa noomatiloshe. Ude akhwele enqanaweni engazange ambone umthetheli wayo kunye nabasebenzi bayo, yaye ngokuzithemba ulindele ukuthatyathwa ekhuselekile kwizibuko alifunayo.

Ecinga ukuba kububudenge ukukholosa ngoThixo “ekungekho mntu wakha wambona nonako ukumbona.” ( 1 Timoti 6,16:XNUMX ) umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uya kwifestile encinane, afake kuyo iidola ezingamashumi amabini aze afumane imbuyekezo kumntu angazange ambone. ubonwe negama lakhe angalaziyo, iphecana elithi angaqhuba ukuya kwisixeko esikude. Mhlawumbi akazange asibone esi sixeko, uyazi ngobukho baso kuphela kwiingxelo zabanye; sekunjalo, uyangena emotweni, anike omnye umntu angamaziyo incwadi yakhe, aze ahlale kwisitulo esitofotofo. Akazange ambone umqhubi we-injini kwaye akazi nokuba akanabuchule okanye uneenjongo ezimbi; kuyo nayiphi na imeko, akakhathali ngokupheleleyo kwaye ulindele ngokuzithemba ukuba afike ngokukhuselekileyo kwindawo asiya kuyo, ubukho obaziyo kuphela ngokuva. Ngaphezu koko, uphethe iphecana elikhutshwe ngabantu angazange ababone, lichaza ukuba aba bantu basemzini aziphathise kubo baya kumlahla ngeyure ethile apho aya khona. Kangangokuba umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uyikholelwa le ngxelo kangangokuba ukwazisa umntu angazange ambone ukuba amlungiselele ukudibana naye ngexesha elithile.

Ukholo lwakhe lukwasebenza ekudluliseleni isigidimi esivakalisa ukuza kwakhe. Ungena kwigumbi elincinane, abhale amagama ambalwa ephepheni, alinike umntu angamaziyo ngefowuni encinane, aze amhlawule isiqingatha sedola. Emva koko uhamba, ekholelwa ukuba ngaphantsi kwesiqingatha seyure umhlobo wakhe ongaziwayo, umgama oziikhilomitha eziliwaka, uya kube efunda umyalezo asandul 'ukuwushiya esikhululweni.

Njengoko efika esixekweni, ukholo lwakhe lucaca ngakumbi. Ebudeni bohambo wabhalela intsapho yakhe ileta, eyahlala ekhaya. Xa efika edolophini, ubona ibhokisi encinane ejinga kwipali yesitrato. Uya khona ngoko nangoko, aphose ileta yakhe kwaye akazikhathazi ngayo ngokubhekele phaya. Ukholelwa ukuba ileta ayifake ebhokisini, engakhange athethe namntu, iya kufikelela kwinkosikazi yakhe kwiintsuku ezimbini. Phezu kwako nje oku, le ndoda icinga ukuba kububudenge ngokupheleleyo ukuthetha noThixo nokukholelwa ukuba umthandazo uya kuphendulwa.

Umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uya kuphendula ukuba akathembi abanye ngokumfamekileyo, kodwa unezizathu zokukholelwa ukuba yena, umyalezo wakhe womnxeba kunye neleta yakhe iya kuhanjiswa ngokukhuselekileyo. Ukukholelwa kwakhe kwezi zinto kusekelwe kwezi zizathu zilandelayo:

1. Ezinye zazithunyelwe ngokukhuselekileyo, yaye amawaka eeleta neetelegram ayesele ethunyelwe ngokuchanekileyo yaye eziswa kwangethuba. Ukuba ileta ibekwe endaweni engeyiyo, phantse isoloko iyimpazamo yomthumeli.
2. Abantu awayeziphathise kubo nezigidimi zakhe bawenza umsebenzi wabo; ukuba babengawenzi umsebenzi wabo, akukho mntu wayenokubathemba yaye ishishini labo laliza konakala kungekudala.
3. Ukwanazo neziqinisekiso zikaRhulumente waseUnited States. Iinkampani zikaloliwe kunye netelegraph zifumana imisebenzi kurhulumente, nto leyo engqina ukuthembeka kwazo. Ukuba abazithobeli iikhontrakthi, urhulumente unokuwurhoxisa umnyinyiva wabo. Ukuthembela kwakhe kwibhokisi yeposi kusekelwe kwiileta ezikuyo USM. Uyazi ukuba zithetha ukuthini: isiqinisekiso sikarhulumente sokuba zonke iileta eziphoswe ebhokisini ziya kuhanjiswa ngokukhuselekileyo ukuba zibhalelwe kwaye zigximfizwe ngokufanelekileyo. Ukholelwa ukuba urhulumente uyazigcina izithembiso zakhe; kungenjalo wayeza kuvotelwa ukuba aphume. Ngoko kusemdleni karhulumente ukuzalisekisa izithembiso zakhe, kanye njengokuba kunjalo kumdla weenkampani zikaloliwe neetelegraph. Konke oku kunye kwakha isiseko esiluqilima sokholo lwakhe.

Kaloku, umKristu unezizathu eziliwaka zokukholelwa kwizithembiso zikaThixo. Ukholo asikokungabi namdla kwaphela. Umpostile uthi, “Ukholo sisiseko sezinto ezithenjiweyo, kukweyiseka bubukho bezinto ezingabonwayo.” ( Hebhere 11,1:XNUMX ) Le yingcaciso ephefumlelweyo. Ngokusuka koku kunokugqitywa kwelokuba iNkosi ayilindelanga ukuba sikholwe ngaphandle kobungqina. Ngoku kulula ukubonisa ukuba umKristu unesizathu esingakumbi sokukholelwa kuThixo kunomntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo weenkampani zikaloliwe neetelegraph okanye urhulumente.

1. Abanye baye bazithemba izithembiso zikaThixo yaye bazithemba. Isahluko seshumi elinanye samaHebhere sinoludwe olude lwabo baye bawaqinisekisa amadinga kaThixo: “Aba boyisile izikumkani ngokholo, benza ubulungisa, bazuza amadinga, bavala imilomo yeengonyama, bawacima amandla omlilo, basinda kuhlangothi lwekrele; Womelela ngokomelela, womelela emfazweni, wagxotha imikhosi yezinye iintlanga. Abafazi bababuyisela abafileyo babo eluvukweni” ( Hebhere 11,33:35-46,2 ) kungekhona kumaxesha amandulo kuphela. Nabani na oya kufumana amangqina amaninzi okuba uThixo “ungumncedi okholekileyo ngexesha lentswelo.”— INdumiso XNUMX:XNUMX . Amawaka angaxela iimpendulo emthandazweni ngendlela ecace kangangokuba akusekho mathandabuzo okuba uThixo uwuphendula umthandazo ubuncinane ngendlela ethembekileyo njengoko urhulumente waseUnited States eyithumela iposi ayiphathisiweyo.
2. UThixo esimthembileyo ukwenza uthumo lwakhe lokuphendula imithandazo nokukhusela nokunyamekela abalawulwa bakhe. “Inceba kaYehova ayinasiphelo! IZililo 3,22:29,11 “Ngokuba mna ndizazi kakuhle iingcinga endizicingayo ngani, utsho uYehova, iingcinga zoxolo, ezingezizo ezobubi; ukuba ndininike ikamva nethemba.”— Yeremiya 79,9.10 :XNUMX). Ukuba wayesaphula izithembiso zakhe, abantu babengayi kumkholelwa. Yiyo loo nto uDavide wamthembayo. Wathi: ‘Sincede, Thixo ongumncedi wethu, ngenxa yozuko lwegama lakho! Sisindise, usixolele izono zethu ngenxa yegama lakho. Yini na ukuba zithi iintlanga, Uphi na ngoku uThixo wabo?”— INdumiso XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX;
3. Urhulumente kaThixo uxhomekeke ekuzalisekeni kwezithembiso zakhe. UmKristu unesiqinisekiso sikarhulumente wendalo yonke ukuba zonke izicelo ezisemthethweni azenzayo ziya kuvunyelwa. Lo rhulumente ngokuyintloko ukho ukuze akhusele ababuthathaka. Masithi uThixo ebenokwaphula elinye lamadinga akhe koyena mntu ubuthathaka nongabalulekanga emhlabeni; ukuze ukutyeshela okukodwa kubhukuqe urhulumente kaThixo uphela. Ummandla wendalo iphela ngoko nangoko wawuya kuba sisidubedube. Ukuba uThixo ebenokwaphula nasiphi na isithembiso sakhe, akukho namnye kwindalo iphela onokuze amthembe, ulawulo lwakhe beluya kuphela; kuba ukukholosa ngegunya kuphela kwesiseko esiqinisekileyo sokuthembeka nokuzinikela. Ama-nihilists eRashiya awazange alandele imiyalelo ye-tsar kuba ayengamthembi. Nawuphi na urhulumente othi, ngokusilela ukuzalisekisa igunya lakhe, aphulukane nentlonipho yabemi bakhe uba ngongazinzanga. Yiloo nto umKristu othobekileyo ethembela kwiLizwi likaThixo. Uyazi ukuba uThixo usengozini kunaye. Ukuba uThixo wayenokwaphula ilizwi lakhe, umKristu wayeza kuphulukana nobomi bakhe kuphela, kodwa uThixo wayeya kuphulukana nesimilo sakhe, ukuzinza kurhulumente wakhe, nolawulo lwendalo iphela.

Ngaphezu koko, abo bakholose ngoorhulumente okanye kumaziko abantu baya kuphoxeka.
