Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · 3 John 5-8
Sithandwa, uthembekile kuko konke okwenzela abazalwana, ingakumbi iindwendwe; ezithe zangqina ngothando lwakho phambi kwebandla. Nceda ubancede ngendlela efanele uThixo ukuze baqhubeke nohambo lwabo. Kuba baphume ngenxa yeGama, bengamkelanga nto kwabangakholwayo. Ngoko ke, sifanele ukubaxhasa abanjalo, ukuze sibe ngabasebenzi kunye nabo enyanisweni.
Indumiso · Psalm 112:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
R. Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi. Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi, okholiswa kakhulu yimithetho yayo. Inzala yakhe iya kuba namandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana esithe tye siya kusikelelwa. R. Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi. Ubutyebi nezinto zexabiso ziya kuba sendlini yakhe; ubulungisa bakhe buya kuhlala ngonaphakade. Ukukhanya kuyakhanya ebumnyameni kwabathe tye; unenceba, unovelwano, kwaye unobulungisa. R. Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi. Kulungile kumntu onenceba nobolekayo, oqhuba imicimbi yakhe ngobulungisa; akayi kuze azanyazanyiswe; olungileyo uya kuhlala ekukhunjulweni ngonaphakade. R. Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi.
IVangeli · Luke 18:1-8
UYesu wabaxelela abafundi bakhe umzekeliso malunga nemfuneko yokuthandaza rhoqo ngaphandle kokudinwa. Wathi, 'Kwakukho umgwebi kwisixeko esithile, owayengayoyiki uThixo, engahloniphi namntu. Kwakukho nomhlolokazi kweso sixeko, owayesiza kuye athi, "Ndixoxele ubulungisa kumchasi wam." Ixesha elide umgwebi wayengavumi, kodwa ekugqibeleni wacinga, "Nangona ndingamoyiki uThixo, ndingamhloniphi namntu, ngenxa yokuba lo mhlolokazi endikhathaza, ndiya kumxoxela ubulungisa ukuze angade eze kundibetha."' INkosi yathi, 'Phulaphulani okuthethwa ngumgwebi ongenabulungisa. UThixo akayi kubaxoxela na ubulungisa abanyuliweyo bakhe abakhala kuye imini nobusuku? Uya kucotha na ukubaphendula? Ndithi kuni, uya kubaxoxela ubulungisa ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa xa uNyana woMntu esiza, uya kufumana ukholo emhlabeni?'
Ubusisiwe umntu owoyika iNkosi.
Intshumayelo

Cinga ngomzuzu apho ubona umfazi, otyhafileyo kodwa engayeki ukubetha umnyango womgwebi, elila ngenxa yobulungisa. KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, uYesu usixelela le ntsomi ukuze asifundise into enye ebalulekileyo: 'ukuthandaza rhoqo ngaphandle kokudinwa.' Masiyimele kancinci le ndinyana… UYesu akathethi ngomthandazo ongenangqondo okanye ukuphinda amagama ngaphandle kwentliziyo. Uthetha ngokubambelela kuThixo, naxa ubomi bubonakala bungaphenduli, naxa ubusuku bude kwaye ukukhanya kubonakala kude.

UBenjamin Vo wayeyiqonda le nyaniso ngendlela yakhe emangalisayo. Khumbula indlela awayethanda ngayo ukujonga iinqwelo-moya, ngakumbi i-Boeing 737. Wayehlala ehleli nobawo wakhe, bejonge phezulu, bebona indlela ezi nqwelo-moya zihamba ngayo, zisuka emhlabeni ziye kude. UBen wayengumfana owayenengqondo eqaqambileyo eyayikwazi ukubala imigama, ukuyila iinkqubo ze-AI, nokucinga ngale nkampani yakhe ye-'con chim airlines' eyayimenza agcigcise kwaye amomotheke ngalo lonke ixesha ethetha ngayo. Kodwa uBen wayengabambeleli ezintweni eziphathekayo. Wayengumfana owayenentliziyo evulekileyo, intliziyo eyayikwazi ukunika—njengaxa wayefuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange ukuze ancede umalume wakhe uWilliam. Wayengumfana owayesazi ukuba ubomi abukho kwizinto esizigcinayo, kodwa kuthando esilunika abanye.

Kodwa masiyimele inyaniso namhlanje. Alan noThao, nawe Ryan mfowethu omncane, ndiyazi ukuba kule minyane mihlanu idlulileyo ukususela ngowe-13 kuJuni 2026, iintlungu ziza ngamanye amaxesha ngendlela embi kakhulu. Kukho amaxesha apho ukungabikho kukaBen kwenza ikhaya libe ngenye indlela. Kukho ukudinwa okungafani nokudinwa komzimba; kukudinwa komphefumlo. Mamele kakuhle, Alan noThao: uThixo akakubeki icala. UBen akakubeki icala. Ezo zifo aziziswanga zizinto owazenzayo okanye ongazenzanga. Kweli hlabathi, kukho izinto ezenzeka ngaphandle kolawulo lomntu, ngaphandle kwempazamo yomzali. Awuphosanga nto. Uthando lwakho lwalucocekile, lwaluphelele, kwaye uBen wayesazi ukuba unothando olungaka kubazali bakhe nakuRyan. Khipha elo litye lokuzisola ezintliziyweni zenu namhlanje. UBen akajongi iziphoso; ujonge phezulu kuThixo, kwaye uqhubeka esithi kuwe: 'Ba, Mama, musani ukukhala kakhulu, ndikhuselekile.'

KwiNcwadi kaYohane namhlanje, sifunda amazwi asikhumbuza indlela yokuphila: 'Sifanele ke ukubaxhasa abanjalo, ukuze sibe ngabasebenzi kunye nabo enyanisweni.' Masiyimele kancinci le ndinyana… UYohane uthetha ngendlela uThixo asibiza ngayo ukuba siphile ngokuthandana, ngokuhamba emthethweni wakhe. UBen wayeyiphila le nto. Wayengumfana owayeyihlonipha inyaniso, owayehlonipha abazali bakhe, kwaye owayehlala enentliziyo ehlambulukileyo. Wayengumfana owayengafuni ukuzibonakalisa njengomntu omkhulu, kodwa owayefuna ukuba ngumntwana kaThixo ophilayo. UBen wayengumzekelo wendlela yokuhamba 'enyanisweni' apho uthando lwakhe lwalungapheliyo.

Ryan, mfowethu okhoyo apha, ndifuna uthathe oku nawe. UBen akakushiye. Ukhona ecaleni kwakho, eqhubeka ekusebenza njengesikhokelo sothando. UBen wayengumfana owayenenqgondo enkulu yezibalo nolwazi, kodwa ikratshi lakhe elikhulu kwakuwukuba ngumntwana omhle owayehlonipha abazali bakhe. UBen uya kuhlala ekukhuthaza, nangona ungamboni ngamehlo, kodwa uya kumva entliziyweni yakho. Uthando lwenu njengabazalwana luyinto engunaphakade. Xa uziva usodwa, khumbula ukuba uBen ukhona, uyaqhubeka, kwaye uya kuhlala ephila kuthando lukaThixo olungapheliyo. UBen akakho nje kwimbali yenu; ukwikhona apho uThixo enza khona yonke into ibe ntsha.

Masithathe oku namhlanje: uBen wasishiya isipho sothando olungapheliyo. Kwisikhumbuzo sesidlo sasezulwini, lapho indlu kaThixo izele khona ngabantu abavela kude nakufi, masime nathi namhlanje siqinisekile ukuba ubomi bukaBen abuphelanga ethuneni. Usemthekweni wasezulwini, apho i-'con chim airlines' yakhe ibhabha ngokuphakamileyo phambi kobuso bukaThixo. Hamba ke namhlanje uphumle, uthembe ukuba uThixo uyakuthanda, kwaye uBen ulinda wena ngoncumo lwakhe oluqhelekileyo. Uthando lwakho, Ben, lusaqhubeka luhamba emhlabeni, lusaqhubeka lukhanya, kwaye lusaqhubeka lukhumbuza wonke umntu okwaziyo ukuba uThixo uyamthanda umntwana wakhe ngaphezu kwayo yonke into. Hlalani neli themba. Hlalani nolu thando. UBen ukhona, uyaqhubeka, kwaye uya kuhlala ephila kuthando lukaThixo olungapheliyo. Amen.
