- Mhla ziyi-5 kuNcwaba
- Ukufundwa kwemizuzu emi-5
Umhlahlandlela WeBhayibheli Wokuthethelela Okuhlala Njalo Nenkululeko
Ngaphambi kokuba siphenduke kwezinye izono zethu, imiBhalo isinxusa ukuba sibhekane nesono esisivimbela ekuthetheleleni, futhi esiba nemiphumela emibi kakhulu: ukungathetheleli. Uma silalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu lapha, asisusi nje kuphela imiphumela yalo ebhubhisayo—sivula nezinhliziyo zethu ukuze sithande abanye futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, sizizwele uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngezindlela ezijulile kunanini ngaphambili. Kuze kube yilapho sithethelela, ukuphenduka kwethu, ukukhulekela kwethu, ngisho nokunxusa kwethu akukwazi ukuba namandla noma ukusebenza okuhloswe nguNkulunkulu.
Luka 6:37 - “Thethelelani, nani niyothethelelwa”
Kwabase-Efesu 4:26-27 - “Thukuthelani ningoni; ningavumeli ilanga lishone nithukuthele [nikhubekisa], futhi ninganiki uSathane ithuba [indawo/indawo].” (Ezibhakeni, amagama avela kwezinye izinguqulo zeBhayibheli.)
Kwabase-Efesu 4:31-32 - “Makususwe kini konke ukubaba, nentukuthelo, nomsindo, nokuhlambalaza, kanye nakho konke okubi. Yibani nomusa komunye nomunye, nibe nobubele, nithethelelane, njengalokho uNkulunkulu wanithethelela kuKristu.”
ImiBhalo ifundisa ukuthi intukuthelo engaxazululiwe, ukukhubeka kanye nokungathetheleli kunikeza isitha indawo/indawo yokuhlala ezimpilweni zethu (Efesu 4:27).
Emthandazweni weNkosi, uJesu usifundisa ukuthandaza:
UMathewu 6:12 “Usithethelele amacala ethu, njengoba nathi sibathethelele abanamacala kithi.”
Futhi ugcizelela ngokushesha:
Mathewu 6:14-15 “Ngokuba uma nithethelela abanye iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo osezulwini uyakunithethelela nani; kepha uma ningathetheleli abanye iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo akayikunithethelela iziphambeko zenu.”
Iphuzu eliyinhloko: Okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu ngentethelelo kaBaba kuhlobene ngokungenakuhlukaniswa nokuzimisela kwethu ukuthethelela abanye. Ngisho nesono sobulili noma ukubulala kuthiwa akuvimbeli ukuthethelela kwethu ngendlela ukungathetheleli okuvimbela ngayo—ngokuphathelene nemiphumela yako kithi (bheka uMathewu 6:14–15). Izikhathi eziningi imizwa yethu iyancipha futhi sicabanga ukuthi sesithethelele; kodwa ngaphandle kokuthi sithethelele njengoba imiBhalo isho, sivame ukungathetheleli ngempela ngokusuka enhliziyweni.
Umfanekiso kaJesu wenceku engathetheleli (Mathewu 18:21–35)
UPetru wabuza wathi: “Nkosi, umfowethu uzongona kangaki, ngimthethelela? Kuze kube kasikhombisa na?” UJesu waphendula wathi: “Angisho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kodwa kuze kube kamashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa.”
UJesu wabe esesho umzekeliso:
(vv. 23–27) Inkosi ithethelela inceku yayo isikweletu esikhulu kakhulu, esingakhokhwa.
(vv. 28–30) Leyo nceku efanayo yenqaba ukuthethelela isikweletu esincane uma kuqhathaniswa.
(vv. 31–34) Inkosi ithukuthele futhi inikela inceku engathetheleli kubaphathi bejele.
(v. 35) UJesu uphetha ngokuthi: “Kanjalo noBaba osezulwini uyakwenza kini nonke, uma ningathetheleli umfowenu ngokusuka enhliziyweni.”
UNkulunkulu usixolele isikweletu esingenakukhokhwa—ngakho-ke kumelwe sithethelele abanye ngokukhululekile futhi noma nini lapho kudingeka. Lo mfanekiso ubonisa nokuthi uma senqaba ukuthethelela ngokusuka enhliziyweni, sizivulela ekuhluphekeni—sinika isitha amalungelo okusihlupha—kuze kube yilapho sithethelela.
Kusho ukuthini ukuthethelela “ngokusuka enhliziyweni”?
Ukuthethelela ngokusuka enhliziyweni akuwona umuzwa. Kuyisinqumo esenziwe ngamabomu sokulalela uNkulunkulu ngokuthethelela izono ezithile. Nansi indlela umfanekiso kaJesu owubonisa ngayo:
1) Cabanga ngokugcwele ngobugebengu
Yisho ngokuqondile (okwashiwo/okwenziwe/okungashiwongo/okungenziwanga). Inkosi yabukeza ukulandisa okuqondile—nathi senza kanjalo, obala phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
2) Qaphela ubukhulu besikweletu
Ungalithathi kancane iphutha. Awukwazi ukuthethelela isikweletu samadola ayisigidi njengokungathi singamadola ayishumi. Vuma ukulahlekelwa, nokuthi umuntu owenze iphutha akakwazi “ukusivala” ngempela. Khulula okulindelwe (ngisho nokuxolisa). Themba uJesu ukuthi uzokubuyisela okulahlekile.
UMathewu 18:27 — “Inkosi yaleyo nceku, ngenxa yesihawu, yayikhulula, yayithethelela icala.”
KwabaseRoma 8:28 — “Siyazi ukuthi kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu konke kusebenzelana kube kuhle…”
UJoweli 2:25 — “Ngizokubuyisela iminyaka edliwe yisikhonyane…”
U-Isaya 61:3 — “…ukubanika isigqoko esihle esikhundleni somlotha, amafutha enjabulo esikhundleni sokulila…”
3) Thethelela, khansela isikweletu, wamukele ukulahlekelwa, futhi ubusise
Ubulungiswa baneliseka esiphambanweni (Isaya 53:5). Njengoba sithethelela futhi sibusisa, sivumelana nenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu kubo futhi senze indawo yomsebenzi Wakhe kithi sobabili. Manje singathi: "Ngiyabathethelela futhi ngiyasikhansela isikweletu ngoba uJesu wakhokhela ngokugcwele izono zabo—nezami."
UJohane 20:23 — “Uma nithethelela izono zanoma yibaphi, bathethelelwe zona…”
KwabaseRoma 12:14 — “Busisani labo abanishushisayo; busisani futhi ningabaqalekisi.”
UJobe 42:10 — “UJehova wambuyisela uJobe ekuhluphekeni, esebathandazele abangane bakhe…”
4) Yenqaba intukuthelo, imizwa emibi ehlobene nayo, kanye namanga owawakholelwayo
Ngenxa yokuthi uJesu wathwala ulaka ngesono, ngibeka phansi intukuthelo yami futhi ngikhetha uthando. Ngiyazisa umuntu ngaphezu kwesikhubekiso. Ngiyalahla yonke imizwa ehambisanayo (isib. ukwenqatshwa, ukwesaba, ukucasuka, ukucindezeleka) bese ngifaka iqiniso elivela eZwini likaNkulunkulu esikhundleni samanga.
Izikhathi eziningi, izimpande zemizwa yethu emibi—ukucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka, ukwesaba, nokuningi—zivela ekungathethelelini isilonda esidlule, noma isenzakalo esibuhlungu esingasilahlanga. ‘Qaphelani ukuthi kungamili impande ebabayo ibange inkathazo, futhi abaningi bangcoliswe yiyo’ (Hebheru 12:15).
Uma sithethelela ngokuqondile, sisusa umuthi nezimpande zemiphumela yokungathetheleli. Ngezinye izikhathi “izithelo” eziwile sezivele zitshale ezinye izihlahla (izinqaba ezifana nokwenqatshwa noma ukwesaba). Yenqaba imizwa ngayinye ngokuqondile bese uyinika uJesu ngoba usevele uyithathile.
ukuthethelela okungesikho
Ukuthethelela akukhona ukwenqaba noma ukuvikela ukoniwa.
Ukuthethelela akususi umthwalo wemfanelo phambi kukaNkulunkulu noma emthethweni wezwe.
Ukuthethelela akuhlali kubuyisana. Ukubuyisana kuncike komunye umuntu kanye nezimo, futhi ukwethembana kungadinga isikhathi sokwakhiwa kabusha.
Imiphumela yokuthethelela
Isivikelo sikaNkulunkulu siyabuyiselwa.
UNkulunkulu uyakuthethelela; isihlangu sakho sokulunga simelana nesitha. Isitha silahlekelwa yinoma yiliphi ilungelo lokuhlasela (izinqaba ziphukile; iminyango ivaliwe).
Inkululeko ekuhlushweni.
Imimoya emibi eyaxhaphaza lowo mhlaba kumele ihambe; ukuthula nothando kuthatha indawo yezinxushunxushu zangaphambilini.
Ukugeleza kokuphulukisa.
UJesu ubusa phezu kwaleyo ndawo yomphefumulo; ukuphulukiswa ngokomzwelo—futhi ngokuvamile ngokomzimba—kungabonakala.
Vula amazulu phezu kwemiphakathi.
Ukuthethelela kungaphula izithiyo zezinkampani futhi kumeme isibusiso phezu kwezindawo, amadolobha kanye nezizwe.
Umthandazo ongenazithiyo.
Lezi zono azisayivimbeli imithandazo yethu ukuthi izwakale.
Indlela yokuzijwayeza ukuthethelela namuhla
Beka eceleni isikhathi sokuthula noBaba wakho.
Cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi embule abantu nezikhathi ezikulimazile—mhlawumbe ngisho nasebuntwaneni. Ungathembeli emizweni yamanje ukuze unqume ukuthi kudingeka yini intethelelo; uma uMoya ekukhumbuza, thethelela ngokuqondile bese uhamba ngezinyathelo ezine ezingenhla.
Khuluma ngokuzwakalayo (isitha sizama ukusebenzisa isono esingavunywanga njengesizathu sokusimangalela). Ngakho-ke siphendula ngokuzilahla okucacile nokukhulunyiwe kanye nokuthethelela.
Bese ulahla imizwa namanga ahambisana nalezo zenzakalo.
Lokhu kungathatha izinsuku noma amasonto—kwenze kube umkhuba wansuku zonke, futhi ukwenze ngaphambi kokuhlangana namanye amakholwa.
Kube nobufakazi obuningi bemishado, imindeni, kanye nempilo yonke eguquliwe lapho abantu bebonisa ukuthethelela okusuka enhliziyweni—ikakhulukazi lapho imindeni yonke ikwenza ndawonye.
ImiBhalo Eyengeziwe Ngokuthethelela:

Yabelana ngesithelo
Singathanda ukuzwa ubufakazi bakho. Ngemva kokusebenzisa lokhu, sicela wabelane ngokuphulukiswa, inkululeko, ubukhona, ukuthula, kanye nenjabulo oyitholayo:
