Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · Galatians 1:6-12
Bazalwana, ndiyamangala ukuba niphambuka ngokukhawuleza kulo onibize ngobabalo lukaKristu, nisiya kwiindaba ezimnandi ezahlukileyo; kanti azikho ezinye. Kodwa kukho abaniphazamisayo, befuna ukuzijika iindaba ezimnandi zikaKristu. Kodwa nokuba thina okanye ingelosi evela ezulwini inganivakalisa iindaba ezimnandi ezahlukileyo kwezo sanishumayeza zona, mayibe phantsi kwesiqalekiso! Njengoko sitshilo ngaphambili, ndiphinda nditsho ngoku: ukuba kukho nabani na onishumayeza iindaba ezimnandi ezahlukileyo kwezo nazamkelayo, mayibe phantsi kwesiqalekiso! Ngaba ndizama ngoku ukufumana ubabalo lwabantu, okanye olukaThixo? Okanye ndifuna ukukholisa abantu? Ukuba ndandingasazama ukukholisa abantu, ngendingenguye umkhonzi kaKristu. Kodwa ndifuna nazi, bazalwana, ukuba iindaba ezimnandi endazishumayelayo aziveli ebantwini. Kuba andizange ndizamkele ebantwini, ndingazange ndifundiswe zizo, kodwa ndizamkele ngesityhilelo sikaYesu Kristu.
INdumiso · Psalm 111:1b-2, 7-8, 9, 10c
Ndiza kubulela eNkosini ngayo yonke intliziyo yam, phakathi kwendibano yamalungisa. Mkhulu imisebenzi yeNkosi, imnandi kwabo bayithandayo. Imisebenzi yezandla zayo ithembekile kwaye ilungile; yonke imithetho yayo inyanisekile. Imi ngonaphakade kanaphakade, yenziwe ngenyaniso nangobulungisa. Ithumele ukuhlangulwa ebantwini bayo; imise umnqophiso wayo ngonaphakade; lingcwele kwaye liyoyikeka igama layo. Udumo lwayo luhlala ngonaphakade.
IVangeli · Luke 10:25-37
Kwavela umfundisi womthetho, wema ukuze amvavanye uYesu, wathi: 'Mfundisi, ndimele ndenze ntoni ukuze ndizuze ubomi obungunaphakade?' UYesu wathi kuye: 'Kubhaliwe ntoni emthethweni? Ufunda uthini?' Waphendula wathi: 'Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngayo yonke intliziyo yakho, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, nangamandla akho onke, nangengqondo yakho yonke, nommelwane wakho njengokuba uzithanda wena.' Wathi kuye: 'Uphendule ngokuchanekileyo; yenza oko, uya kuphila.' Kodwa ngenxa yokuba wayefuna ukuzithethelela, wathi kuYesu: 'Ngubani ke ummelwane wam?' UYesu waphendula wathi: 'Indoda ethile yayihla ivela eJerusalema isiya eJeriko, yawa ezandleni zamasela. Ayamvuza, yamwisa, yemka imshiya eselefa. Kwathi umbingeleli othile wayehla ngaloo ndlela, kodwa akumbona, wadlula ngakwelinye icala. Kwangokunjalo umLevi wafika kuloo ndawo, akumbona, wadlula ngakwelinye icala. Kodwa umSamariya othile ohambahambayo wafika kuye, waba nemfesane akumbona. Wasondela kuye, wathulula ioyile newayini kumanxeba akhe, wawabopha. Wamkhwelisa esilwanyaneni sakhe, wamusa endlwini yeendwendwe, wamnyamekela. Ngengomso wakhupha iingqekembe ezimbini zesilivere, wazinika umnini-ndlu wathi: "Mnyamekele. Ukuba uchitha ngaphezu kwale ndiyinikileyo, ndiza kukubuyisela xa ndibuyayo." Ngubani ke kwaba bathathu, ngokubona kwakho, owayengummelwane walowo wawiswe ngamasela?' Waphendula wathi: 'Lowo wamenzela imfesane.' UYesu wathi kuye: 'Hamba, wenze njalo.'
INkosi iya kukhumbula umnqophiso wayo ngonaphakade.
Intshumayelo

Cinga ngomzuzu apho uBenjamin Vo, esesemncinci, ehlala phantsi phambi kwekhompyutha yakhe, ebhala iikhowudi zokudala umdlalo omtsha okanye ecwangcisa indlela i-'con chim airlines' yakhe eya kubhabha ngayo. Kwakukho ukuzimisela okukhulu emehlweni akhe, ukuzimisela okungazange kwabangelwa kukufuna ukubonwa ngabantu, kodwa ngenxa yokuba wayeyithanda inyaniso yento awayeyenza. Wayengumfana owayethanda ukwakha, ukudala, nokuzisa uvuyo. Namhlanje, kwiNcwadi kaGalati, uPawulos uthi: 'Am ndizama ngoku ukufumana ubabalo lwabantu, okanye olukaThixo? Okanye ndifuna ukukholisa abantu?' Umpostile usikhumbuza ukuba ubomi bethu abuyiyo imidlalo yokukholisa abantu, kodwa bubudlelwane obunzulu noKristu.

KwiVangeli, uYesu udibana nomntu owayefuna ukumvavanya ngombuzo othi: 'Ndingenza ntoni ukuze ndizuze ubomi obungunaphakade?' UYesu akamniki impendulo enzima, kodwa umbuza: 'Uthini umthetho?' Xa lo mntu ephendula ngokuthanda uThixo nommelwane, uYesu uthi: 'Yenza oko, uya kuphila.' Kodwa lo mntu, efuna ukuzithethelela, ubuza: 'Ngubani ke ummelwane wam?' Apha, uYesu ubalisa ibali lomSamariya olungileyo. Le ndoda ayizange ibuze ukuba umntu owayebethwe ecaleni kwendlela wayengubani. Ayizange ibuze ukuba wayeluhlanga luni na. Yabona intlungu. Yabona inxeba. Yabona ubomi obusengozini. Yaza, ngaphandle kokulibazisa, yenza imfesane.

Alan noThao, ndiyazi ukuba iinyanga ezintathu ezi zidlulileyo bezinzima kakhulu. Ndiyazi ukuba kukho amaxesha apho intliziyo iziva ngathi iyaphuka, xa ucinga ngaloo mntwana owayeza kuwe, owayekuthanda, owayekujonga ngamehlo anothando. Usizi alulandeli ikhalenda. Luza ngexesha lalo, lunzima, lufuna indawo. Ndaye ndifuna ukuba uthethe inyaniso yale ntliziyo yakho namhlanje. Akukho nqaku lokuthi uphosile okanye wenze kakubi. Ukugula akwanga kwenzeka ngenxa yezinto owazenzayo okanye ongazenzanga. UThixo akakubeki icala, kwaye noBen akakubeki icala. Masikhuphe lo mthwalo wokuzisola emajukujukwini eentliziyo zenu namhlanje. Awuphosanga nto. Ubenze konke okusemandleni enu ngothando olungapheliyo. Ezinye izinto zenzeka ngaphandle kolawulo lwethu, ngaphandle kokuba nabani na enze impazamo. Niyinyaniso, nithandwa nguThixo.

Khumbula indlela uBen awayenentliziyo enobubele ngayo. Khumbula loo mzuzu xa wayefuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange encinci ukuze ancede umalume wakhe uWilliam owayehlaselwe zizifo. Akazange ayiphule loo ngulube yemali, akazange ayikhuphule ngokoqobo, kodwa isipho sasingaphakathi entliziyweni yakhe. Wayengumfana owayenokunikela ngayo yonke into yakhe ngaphandle kokubala. Wayengumfana owayephila ngoxolo lukaKristu. WayengumSamariya olungileyo ebomini bakhe, ebonisa uthando olungenamiqathango.

Ryan, mfowethu omncane, uBen uyamthanda. Ungalokothi uzive ungedwa. UBen uyaqhubeka ehamba nawe, ekukhathalele, kwaye uthando lwenu aluzange lufe. Vumela uYesu abe lulwalwa lwakho namhlanje. Thatha igama likaBen, thandaza kuye uThixo, kwaye uqhubeke uphila ngesibindi, wazi ukuba akukho lizwi linye lothando olulahlekileyo phambi koThixo. UBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya ngomsebenzi wakhe wothando, njengaloo mthombo wamanzi eCà Mau, olethela ubomi kwabanye. Uthando lwakhe aluzange luphele; lusaqhubeka lukhanya njengolwandle olukhulu.

UYesu uthi: 'Hamba, wenze njalo.' Lo ngumyalelo wethu namhlanje. Hamba, uthande njengokuba uBen wayethanda. Hamba, ube nomfesane njengokuba uBen wayenaye. Hamba, ube nentliziyo evulekileyo njengokuba uBen wayenayo. Xa uziva usizi, yithi: 'Nkosi, ndiyakuthanda, kwaye ndiyakuthemba.' UBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo. Uthando lwenu luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye uBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Uthando lwakho lulukhanya olungasoze lwavaleleka. Siya kukukhumbula njalo, side sidibane kwakhona apho kungekho nyembezi, apho kukho uvuyo olungunaphakade. Amen.
