Isikhathi sokufunda: imizuzu eyi-3

Impi yaseMpumalanga Ephakathi iwukubuyisela emuva okuphawulekayo kunoma yiliphi ithemba lokuthula esifundeni. Ngokuqina kwepolitiki yakwa-Israel okhethweni lwakamuva kanye nokugqama kweHamas, isekelwa yi-Iran neQatar, udlame luvezwa njengokuphela kwendlela yokuthula. Kodwa phakathi kwalezi zinketho kukhona abantu abahluphekayo asebezolahlekelwa ithemba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zindaba zisidida nakakhulu ngokunganaki imiphumela engokomoya ekhishwe yimpi futhi zenze sengathi into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthola "umlandu."

AmaKristu azamile ukwengeza izici zebhayibheli kulolu hlobo lomlando oluhlanekezelwe okubonakala sengathi luthethelela uhlangothi olulodwa noma olunye. Lokhu kufana kakhulu nokwehlukana kwamanje kwesintu kunokufunda ngokucophelela umlando weBhayibheli. Ngakho-ke iBhayibheli liye laba isisulu sempi. Ake sibuyele emthonjeni! Masimazi okunguye yedwa ongaletha intethelelo, umusa nobulungisa. Yebo, ubulungisa, ngoba ngaphandle kobulungisa akukho ukuthula okuhlala njalo.

Kuphela ngokulalela iBhayibheli futhi singasusa imibono eyisono ngokuthula nenkemba. Ukuthula, okufana naleli zwe elingenakukunikeza (yilokho esikubonayo!), kunomthombo owodwa kuphela: uMesiya kaNkulunkulu - uMesiya owalahlwa amaJuda amaningi futhi iningi lamaSulumane livuma ngomlomo walo kuphela. Angisho uMesiya wobuKrestu obumisiwe okhethwe ngenxa yazo zonke izinhlobo zezizathu zebhizinisi. Ngisho uMesiya kaNkulunkulu, owathanda izwe kangangokuba uze ukuletha ukuphila, yebo ukuphila ngokuchichimayo, kwabasePalestine namaJuda ngokufanayo. Manje iJerusalema, okusho isisekelo noma umfundisi wokuthula, empeleni lingafundisa ukuthula kuzo zonke izizwe endaweni yalo yasezulwini ( Mika 4,2:3-XNUMX ). Singaba amathuluzi kulokhu. Ngelinye ilanga iyoma endaweni lapho impi isaqhubeka khona.

Ingabe sisengamadoda nabesifazane bokholo? Uma kunjalo, kungani sicaphuna uMathewu 24 ngokukhetha, sigxile ezimpini namahemuhemu empi, sikhohlwe ukuthi “isibonakaliso” esibhekwe ngamakholwa akulona udlame, kodwa umbuso wokuthula wevesi 14?

Ngabe sisengabantu abanethemba? Ithemba alinakwakhelwa emicabangweni ekhohlisayo efana nokwakhiwa kabusha kweThempeli ngemizamo yamaZayoni noma ngenkolelo engamanga, futhi lokhu kusikhathaza kakhulu, ukuthi umsuka wale nkinga ungachazwa umbango phakathi kukaSara noHagari. Inkinga ngalezi zincazelo ezihlanekezelwe zomlando ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabusisa u-Ishmayeli waze wabikezela nokuthi umndeni ka-Ishmayeli wawuyohlangana ekukhulekeleni namadodana ka-Isaka okuphila ( Isaya 60,6:7-XNUMX ). Iqiniso liyasikhulula!

Asinazo zonke izimpendulo, uNkulunkulu unazo. Ngakho-ke masikhuleke ndawonye ngokuthula. Babusisiwe abalamulayo ezweni lesiyaluyalu, ngokuba bayakubizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu (Mathewu 5,9:XNUMX).
