Ithemba Ngabafi—Yintoni Enokukwenza Uqiniseke Ngalo?

Ngaba bubudenge ukucinga ukuba abafi banokuphila kwakhona? Umpostile uPawulos wayengacingi njalo. Ephefumlelwe wabhala wathi: “Ukuba besithembele kuKristu kobu bomi kuphela, singabona bokusizelwa kubantu bonke. Noko ke, uKristu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, intlahlela kwabalele ekufeni.” (1 Korinte 15:19, 20) Yayikukuvuswa kukaYesu okwaqinisekisa uPawulos ukuba uvuko luza kubakho.a (IZenzo 17:31) Yiloo nto uPawulos wabiza uYesu njengentlahlela, kuba waba ngowokuqala ukuvuselwa kubomi obungenasiphelo. Ukuba uYesu waba ngowokuqala ukuvuswa, kucacile ukuba bakho nabanye abaza kuvuswa.

Nasi esinye isizathu sokuqiniseka ngethemba lovuko. UYehova nguThixo wenyaniso. ‘UThixo akanakuxoka.’ (Tito 1:2) UYehova zange waxoka, ibe akasoze axoke. Angasithembisa ngovuko ade asibonise nendlela aza kulwenza ngayo, kanti akazi kusenza eso sithembiso? Unotshe!

Kwakutheni ukuze uYehova enze ilungiselelo lovuko? Kungenxa yokuba esithanda. UYobhi wabuza: “Ukuba indoda eyomeleleyo iyafa ngaba inokuphila kwakhona? Uya kubiza, ndisabele. Uya kuwulangazelela umsebenzi wezandla zakho.” (Yobhi 14:14, 15) UYobhi wayeyisekile ukuba uBawo onothando wasezulwini wayekulangazelela ukumvusa. Ngaba utshintshile uThixo? “NdinguYehova, anditshintshanga.” (Malaki 3:6) UThixo usakulangazelela ukubona abafi bebuyela ebomini kwakhona, besempilweni yaye bevuya. Nawuphi na umzali onothando oswelekelwe ngumntwana angakuvuyela oku. Umahluko kukuba uThixo unawo amandla okukwenza.—INdumiso 135:6.

UYehova uza kunika uNyana wakhe amandla okuzisa imincili kwabo baye baba sentlungwini yokuswelekelwa ngabantu ababathandayo. UYesu yena uvakalelwa njani ngovuko? Ngaphambi kukuba avuse uLazaro, uYesu wabona intlungu yodade boLazaro nezihlobo zakhe, zaza “zathi waxa iinyembezi” kuye. (Yohane 11:35) Kwesinye isihlandlo, uYesu wadibana nomhlolokazi waseNayin owayeswelekelwe ngunyana okuphela kwakhe. ‘Waba nosizi ngaye, waza wathi kuye: “Musa ukulila.”’ Waza wamvusa lo mfana ngoko nangoko. (Luka 7:13) Ngoko ke, uYesu uba nosizi gqitha xa sifelwa. Uza kuvuya ngeyona ndlela ingathethekiyo xa ejika intlungu ibe luchulumanco emhlabeni ngokubanzi!

Wakha wafelwa ngumntu omthandayo? Usenokucinga ukuba ukufa yingxaki engenasicombululo. Kodwa sikho, luvuko oluza kuziswa nguThixo esebenzisa uNyana wakhe. Ukhumbule ukuba uThixo ufuna uzibonele eso sicombululo. Ufuna ubekho, uze wamkele abantu obathandayo kwakhona. Khawufan’ ucinge, nilungiselela ukuphila ubomi obungenasiphelo kunye, ningaphindi nahlukane kwakhona!

ULionel ebesithethe ngaye ekuqaleni uthi: “Ekugqibeleni ndafunda ngovuko. Ekuqaleni, kwakunzima ukulukholelwa, kuba ndandingamthembi umntu owayendixelela ngalo. Kodwa ndazijongela eBhayibhileni ndaza ndazibonela ukuba ziyinyaniso! Andikwazi nokulinda oku ukuze ndimbone kwakhona utamkhulu wam.”

Awungethandi ukwazi okungakumbi? AmaNgqina kaYehova angakuvuyela ukukubonisa kweyakho iBhayibhile isizathu sokuba eqinisekile ukuba kuza kubakho uvuko.b
