Isikhathi sokufunda: imizuzu eyi-5

Ngesikhathi ngihamba ehlathini ngoJanuwari 9 walo nyaka, izikali zawa emehlweni ami: Ngangicabanga isikhathi eside mayelana nokuxhumana okukhulu phakathi kwezimbangela nezifo, njengoba kuchazwe esigabeni esilandelayo:

“Ngakho-ke noma ubani odla isinkwa noma aphuze indebe yeNkosi ngokungafanele uyoba necala lomzimba negazi leNkosi... Ngakho-ke abaningi kini ababuthakathaka nabagulayo, futhi abaningi balele.” ( 1 Korinte 11,27.30 : XNUMX)

Kusukela kumongo odlule, umuntu anganciphisa ngokushesha ukungafaneleki ekudleni ngokulamba isinkwa newayini. Kodwa kusho ukuthini ngempela ukudla okungafanele kwesakramente?

Incazelo yeSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa ngakolunye uhlangothi iwukukhumbula umhlatshelo kaJesu kanti ngakolunye uhlangothi ukucwaninga kwangaphambili kwenhliziyo yomuntu. Ukubamba iqhaza okungafanelekile kusho: ukungafaneleki. Asinalo ilungelo lokuthethelelwa uma thina ngokwethu singathetheleli noma singaphenduki ezonweni zethu. Ukugezwa kwezinyawo kufuna ukusikhumbuza nokusiyala ukuthi isinkwa newayini (okungukuthi ukufa komhlatshelo kanye nentethelelo ngoJesu) kunomthelela wako kuphela futhi kufeze injongo yako lapho thina ngokwethu sinokuthula noNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi nendawo esihlala kuyo.

Ukucela intethelelo, ukulungisa, ukubuyisana - lena ingxenye yethu eSidlweni SeNkosi. Khona-ke - futhi kulapho kuphela - lapho sithola khona isiqiniseko sikaNkulunkulu. Uma singayenzi ingxenye yethu, sidla isidlo esingcwele ngokungafanele. Njengoba uNkulunkulu engasithethelela kuphela njengoba nathi sibathethelela abanecala kithi, icala bese lihlala kithi futhi isipho sikaNkulunkulu sokuthethelela, izibusiso Zakhe azithembisile, azifinyeleli kithi.

Pho kungani abaningi bethu bebuthakathaka futhi begula, noma (ngokusobala ngokushesha) bafile? Ngoba uNkulunkulu akakwazi ukuthulula izibusiso Zakhe, uMoya, isithelo, neziphiwo zikaMoya, ezinhliziyweni zethu ngobuningi.

UJesu wabenqabela abafundi bakhe kunoma isiphi isishoshovu ngaphambi kokwenyukela kwakhe ezulwini. Akazange abanikeze imiqondo, nesakhiwo, ngisho nomsebenzi wokutshala ibandla. Wabatshela kuphela ukuthi balinde eJerusalema kuze kugcwaliseke “isithembiso sikaBaba” ( IzEnzo 1,4:XNUMX ). izinsuku? Izinyanga? Iminyaka?

Kwabelwa isikhathi phakathi kwabafundi ukuba bahlanzeke, banqobe ukuqhosha, ukuvelela, nokuzenza ongokoqobo, futhi bathethelelane. Kwathi lapho konke lokhu sekwenziwe, emva kwezinsuku eziyi-10, uMoya oNgcwele wawungathululwa. Lo mcimbi wawungenzeka ngosuku lwesibili noma emashumini eminyaka kamuva, kuye ngokuzimisela kwabo. Kepha manje uMoya wathululwa, neziphiwo zikaMoya zazichichima: abafileyo bavuswa, abagulayo baphulukiswa, nemimoya emibi yaxoshwa. IPhentekoste njengomphumela wokuguquka kweqiniso, ukuvuma icala ngokuqotho.

Uma namuhla sibona futhi sithola izipho zomoya, kodwa futhi isithelo somoya, kuphela kakhulu, kancane kakhulu, isizathu siwukuthi sidla ngokungafanele iSidlo SeNkosi, okungukuthi asiwenzi umsebenzi wethu wesikole. Njengabantu ngabanye, imindeni, imiphakathi, izikhungo.

Lesi esinye isizathu esenza kube nabaningi kangaka abagulayo nokuhlupheka phakathi kwethu, futhi inani elikhulu lafa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Yiqiniso, lesi akusona ukuphela kwesizathu sokugula nokuhlupheka, kodwa mhlawumbe esibaluleke kakhulu kunalokho esikucabangayo.

Sisengacela imvula yakamuva amashumi eminyaka - uma singazivuleli yona, ngeke ingene ezinhliziyweni zethu.

Singase siphathe isithombe somhlangano wePhentekoste njengamalungiselelo esidlo sakusihlwa esilandelayo: izinsuku zokuvuma izono, ukubeka izinto ngohlelo, ukucela intethelelo nokuthethelelwa ziphethwa ngokugezwa kwezinyawo. Khona-ke silungele ukwamukela umhlatshelo kaJesu, intethelelo Yakhe, kodwa nesipho Sakhe – uMoya oNgcwele, isithelo sakhe, izipho zakhe.
