“Futhi waqala ukukhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso ethi. Umuntu othile watshala isivini, futhi wasibiyela ngothango, futhi wemba isikhamo, wase akha isiqongo sokulinda, wabe esesiqashisa kubalimi, wase eya ezweni elikude. Futhi ngenkathi efanele wayesethuma inceku kubalimi, ukuba ithathe kubalimi izithelo zesivini. Bayibamba, futhi bayishaya, base beyimukisa ze. Waphinda futhi wathumela kubo enye inceku; futhi yona bayikhanda ngamatshe, futhi bayilimaza ekhanda, futhi bayithuka bayixosha beyiphathe ngokuyihlazo. Waphinda futhi wathumela enye; futhi yona bayibulala, nezinye eziningi; ezinye bazishaya, futhi ezinye bazibulala. Khona-ke kwase kusele indodana eyodwa, indodana yakhe ethandekayo, nayo wayithumela kubo ekugcineni, ethi, Bayakuyihlonipha indodana yami. Kodwa labo balimi bakhuluma bodwa bathi, Lo uyindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, futhi ifa libe ngelethu. Base beyibamba, futhi bayibulala, futhi bayiphonsa ngaphandle kwesivini.

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Isizathu sokuthi umuntu amelane noNkulunkulu siqhamuka, ngasohlangothini olulodwa, esimweni somuntu esonakele, futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi, ekungabini nolwazi ngoNkulunkulu nokweswela ukuqonda imiyalo yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kanye nentando yakhe ngabantu. Lezi zimo zombili ziyahlangana zibe umlando wokungavumi ukusondelana nomuntu noNkulunkulu. Izimfundamakhwela okholweni ziphikisana noNkulunkulu ngoba ukuphikisana okunjalo kusemvelweni yazo, kube ukuphikisana noNkulunkulu kwalabo abaneminyaka eminingi bekholwa kuvela ekungabini nolwazi kwabo ngoNkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwesimo sabo esinenkohlakalo.

Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka, futhi nakuba inhloso yomsebenzi Wakhe ingaguquki, izindlela asebenza ngazo ziyaguquguquka njalo, kanjalo nangalabo abalandela uNkulunkulu. Ubuningi bomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, busho ukuthi abantu sebemazi kahle uNkulunkulu, nesimo somuntu siguquka ngokuhambisana nomsebenzi Wakhe. Kodwa-ke, kungenxa yokuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uyaguquka yingakho labo abangawazi umsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele nalabo abangenangqondo abangalazi iqiniso babe abaphikisi bakaNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awukaze ulandele imicabango yabantu, ngoba umsebenzi Wakhe uhlale umusha awubi mdala. Akakaze nanini aphinde umsebenzi omdala kodwa kunalokho uqhubekela phambili nomsebenzi ongakaze wenziwe ngaphambilini. Njengoba uNkulunkulu engawuphindi umsebenzi Wakhe nabantu belokhu behlulela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wanamuhla ngomsebenzi Wakhe wesikhathi esidlule, kunzima kakhulu ukuba uNkulunkulu aqhube isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi wenkathi entsha. Umuntu uletha izihibe eziningi kakhulu! Ukucabanga komuntu kuncane impela! Akekho umuntu owazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bonke bayawuchaza lo msebenzi. Uma ekude noNkulunkulu, umuntu ulahlekelwa ukuphila, iqiniso, kanye nezibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa umuntu akamukeli ukuphila noma iqiniso, kanjalo nezibusiso ezinkulu uNkulunkulu azibeke phezu komuntu. Bonke abantu bafisa ukuzuza uNkulunkulu kodwa abakwazi ukubekezelela ushintsho emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu. Labo abangawamukeli umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu bakholelwa ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awuguquki, nokuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uhlala ume nse. Ekukholelweni kwabo, konke okudingekayo ukuze uzuze ukusindiswa kwangunaphakade kuNkulunkulu ukuthi ugcine umthetho, nokuthi inqobo nje uma bephenduka bevuma izono zabo, intando kaNkulunkulu izokwaneliseka ingunaphakade. Bacabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu angaba uNkulunkulu kuphela ngaphansi komthetho nokuthi uNkulunkulu owabethelwa esiphambanweni ngenxa yabantu; baphinde bacabange ukuthi uNkulunkulu akumele futhi angeke abe ngaphezu kweBhayibheli. Yiyo kanye le mibono ebabophele yabaqinisa emthethweni wakudala yabagcina beboshelelwe emithethweni enzima. Ngisho nabaningi bakholelwa ukuthi noma yimuphi umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu, kumelwe usekelwe iziphrofetho, nokuthi esigabeni ngasinye somsebenzi onjalo, bonke labo abamlandela ngenhliziyo eqinisekile kumele baboniswe izambulo, ngale kwalokho lowo msebenzi ngeke kube okaNkulunkulu. Kakade akuwona umsebenzi olula kumuntu ukwazi uNkulunkulu. Uma usuhlanganisa nenhliziyo yomuntu emangazayo nendalo yakhe yokuhlubuka yokuzazisa nokuzidla, konke lokhu kwenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuba abantu bamukele umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu.

Ngoba kuhlala kunokusha okuvelayo emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu, kunomsebenzi ophelelwa yisikhathi futhi uguge lapho kuqhamuka umsebenzi omusha. Lezi zinhlobo zomsebenzi ezehlukene, omdala nomusha, aziphikisani, kodwa ziyaphelelisana; isinyathelo ngasinye silandela esokugcina. Ngoba kunomsebenzi omusha, izinto zakudala kumele, nakanjani, zisuswe. Isibonelo, ezinye izinqubo zakudala kanye nokwakuvame ukushiwo umuntu, kuhlanganiswe nalokho umuntu abhekana nakho eminyakeni eminingi eyadlula kanye nezimfundiso, kwakhe yonke inhlobo yemibono emqondweni womuntu. Kodwa okuyimpumelelo enkulu ekwakhekeni lena mibono komuntu wukuthi uNkulunkulu usazobudalula ubuso Bakhe ngokugcwele kanye nesimo esiyisisekelo kumuntu, kuhlanganiswe nokwenabisa, eminyakeni eminingi, kwezimfundiso ezindala zangesikhathi sasendulo. Kungcono ukuthi, ngesikhathi sokukholwa komuntu kuNkulunkulu, umthelela wemibono ehlukahlukene uholele ekuqhubekeni kokwakheka nokuguquka kwakho konke ukuqonda uNkulunkulu kubantu, okwenze ukuthi abantu benkolo abaningi abasebenzela uNkulunkulu baphenduke izitha Zakhe. Ngakho, ukuqina kwemibono yenkolo kwabantu, kudala ukuthi baphikisane ngokwengeziwe noNkulunkulu, futhi baba yizitha ezinkulu zikaNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uhlala umusha futhi awukaze ube mdala, futhi awukaze wakhe imfundiso futhi, kunalokho, uyaqhubeka nokushintsha futhi uzenze musha kakhulu noma kancane. Lo msebenzi uvezwa yisimo esiyisisekelo sikaNkulunkulu Uqobo. Futhi kuyisimiso esiyisisekelo somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kanti ungenye yezindlela uNkulunkulu afeza ngazo umsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha. Ukuba uNkulunkulu bengasebenzi ngale ndlela, umuntu bengeke ashintshe noma akwazi ukumazi uNkulunkulu, futhi uSathane bengeke aze ahlulwe. Ngakho, emsebenzini Wakhe bekuqhubeka nokuba noshintsho olubonakala lwenzeka njalo, kodwa oluye lube ngolwesikhathi esithile. Indlela umuntu akholelwa ngayo kuNkulunkulu, nokho, yehluke kakhulu. Unamathela ezimfundisweni nasezinhlelweni ezindala, ezejwayelekile, futhi uma zizindala kakhulu zihlwabusa kakhulu kuye. Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umqondo onobuwula womuntu, umqondo ongaguquki njengetshe, wamukela umsebenzi omusha ongaqondakali kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu? Umuntu uzonda uNkulunkulu ohlala emusha futhi ongakaze abe mdala; uthanda uNkulunkulu omdala kuphela, osekhulile, onezinwele ezimhlophe futhi omi ndawonye. Njengoba uNkulunkulu nomuntu banalokho abakuthandayo ngokwabo, umuntu usephenduke isitha sikaNkulunkulu. Okuningi kwalokhu kushayisana kusakhona nanamuhla, ngesikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu kade enza umsebenzi omusha ngaso esicishe sibe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Ngakho-ke, kungaphezu kwesisombululo.

Isigaba ngasinye sezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi senziwa phezu kwesisekelo sesigaba esingaphambilini; asenziwa ngokuzimela, sehlukanisiwe emsebenzini wensindiso. Nakuba kunomehluko omkhulu enkathini nenhlobo yomsebenzi owenziwayo, emnyombeni wawo, kuseyinsindiso yesintu, futhi isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi wensindiso sijulile kakhulu kunesigcinile.

Okungaphezulu, ukuthi babekholwa ukuthi uMesiya uyofika, kodwa abafunanga iqiniso lokuphila. Ngakho, nanamuhla, basalindele uMesiya, ngokuba abanalwazi ngendlela yokuphila, futhi abazi ukuthi iyiphi indlela yeqiniso. Kungenzeka kanjani, kusho nina, ukuthi abantu abayiziwula, abanenkani futhi abangazi njengalaba bazuze isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu? Babengambheka kanjani uMesiya? Baphikisana noJesu ngoba babengayazi indlela yomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, ngoba babengayazi indlela yeqiniso eyakhulunywa uJesu, okunye futhi, ingoba babengamqondi uMesiya. Futhi njengoba babengakaze bambone uMesiya, futhi bengakaze bahlalisane noMesiya, benza iphutha lokubambelela ngokuyize egameni likaMesiya, kulapho bephikisana nengqikithi kaMesiya ngazo zonke izindlela.

Ubunkulunkulu bukaKristu bungaphezulu kwabo bonke abantu, ngakho-ke unegunya phezu kwezidalwa zonke. Leli gunya lingubunkulunkulu Bakhe, isimo nobuyena bukaNkulunkulu uqobo, okusho ubuyena. Ngalokho, noma ngabe ubuntu Bakhe bujwayeleke kangakanani, kungephikwe ukuthi unobuyena obunguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe; noma ngabe ukuphi uyakhuluma futhi noma kanjani uthobela intando kaNkulunkulu, angeke kuthiwe akayena uNkulunkulu uqobo. Abantu abayizilima nabangenalwazi bahlala bethi ubuntu obujwayelekile bukaKristu buyiphutha. Noma engakuveza kanjani ubunkulunkulu Bakhe, abantu bayahluleka ukuvuma ukuthi unguKristu. Uma uKristu eveza ukulalela nokuthobeka Kwakhe, yilapho abantu abangezona kakhulu izilima bembona njengoKristu. Kukhona nalabo abamkhipha inyumbazane nokwedelela, kodwa babeke “amadoda amakhulu” aneziqu eziphakeme phezu kwetafula ukuba akhonzwe. Ukuphikisa nokungalaleli kwabantu uNkulunkulu kubangelwa ukuthi ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu ophila enyameni ithobela intando kaNkulunkulu, kanjalo nobuntu obujwayelekile bukaKristu; kulapho kukhona umsuka wokuphikisa nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu. Ukuba uKristu ubengenakho ukuzifihla ebuntwini noma engayifuni intando kaNkulunkulu uBaba ngokubona kwabantu abadaliwe, kodwa egcwele ubuntu obukhulu, mhlawumbe ngabe akekho umuntu ongalaleli. Into eyenza ukuthi abantu bafune ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali osezulwini ukuthi uNkulunkulu osezulwini akanabo ubuntu futhi akanakho nokukodwa okufana nokomuntu odaliweyo.

UNkulunkulu ongabonakali futhi ongathinteki uyathandwa futhi wemukelwa yibo bonke. Uma uNkulunkulu nje ewuMoya ongabonwa umuntu, kulula kumuntu ukuba akholwe kuNkulunkulu. Umuntu angayikhulula imicabango yakhe, angakhetha noma yisiphi isithombe asithandayo njengesithombe sikaNkulunkulu ukuze azijabulise futhi azenze athokoze. Ngale ndlela, abantu bangenza noma yini ethandwa kakhulu uNkulunkulu wabo nafisa ukuba bayenze, ngaphandle kokungabaza. Okukhulu nakakhulu, umuntu ukholwa ukuthi akekho oqotho nozinikele kuNkulunkulu okudlula yena, nokuthi bonke abanye bayizinja ezingabezizwe futhi abathembekile kuNkulunkulu. Kungashiwo ukuthi yilokho okufunwa yilabo abanezinkolelo ezingaqondakali kuNkulunkulu futhi ezisekelwe ezimfundisweni; abakufunayo konke kuthi akufane, kunomehluko nje omncane. Kumane kuwukuthi umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ezingqondweni zabo uhlukile, kodwa isiqu sabo siyafana.

Umuntu akahlupheki ngokukholwa kwakhe kuNkulunkulu kholwaokungenakunaka futhi ukholwa kuNkulunkulu ngendlela ethandwa nguye. Leli elinye “lamalungelo nenkululeko yomuntu,” okungenamuntu ongagxambukela kulo, ngoba umuntu ukholwa kuNkulunkulu wakhe, hhayi kuNkulunkulu womunye; lokho kuyimpahla yakhe yedwa, futhi wonke umuntu unalo lolu hlobo lwempahla. Umuntu le mpahla uyibheka njengengcebo eyigugu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu ayikho into ephansi nengafaneleki eyedlula lokho ngoba alukho uphawu lokumelana noNkulunkulu olucace kunakule mpahla yomuntu yangasese. Kungenxa yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu owenza uNkulunkulu abe inyama enesakhiwo esithintekayo futhi oze abonwe futhi athintwe ngumuntu. Akawona uMoya ongenasimo, kodwa uyinyama engathinteka futhi ibonwe umuntu. Nokho, onkulunkulu abaningi abantu abakholwa kubo abanayo inyama futhi abanaso isimo. Ngale ndlela, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu usephenduke isitha sabantu abaningi abakholwa kuNkulunkulu, futhi labo abangeke balamukele iqiniso likaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, nabo, ngokufanayo sebebe izitha zikaNkulunkulu. Umuntu unemicabango, hhayi nje ngenxa yendlela yakhe yokucabanga, noma ngenxa yokuhlubuka kwakhe, kodwa ngenxa yale mpahla yomuntu.

Ngaphambili kokuthi umbone uJesu, okungukuthi, ngaphambili kokubona uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, uyoba nemicabango eminingi, isibonelo nje, mayelana nokubukeka kukaJesu, indlela akhuluma ngayo, indlela Yakhe yokuphila, njalo njalo. Kodwa-ke, uma sekwenzeka umbona, imicabango yakho iyoshesha ukuguquka. Kungani lokhu? Uyafisa ukwazi? Lapho ukucabanga komuntu kungeke impela kwabukelwa phansi, akubekezeleleki kakhulu ukuba umuntu aguqule ingqikithi kaKristu. Nibuka uKristu njengesidalwa esingenakufa, isazi, kodwa akekho noyedwa ombuka uKristu njengomuntu ojwayelekile onengqikithi yobunkulunkuku. Ngakho-ke, iningi lalabo abalangazelela ubusuku nemini ukubona uNkulunkulu yibona kanye abayizitha zikaNkulunkulu futhi abangahambisani noNkulunkulu. Ingabe lokhu akukhona ukungalungi ngasohlangothini lomuntu?

Ngoba esikhathini esedlule, namanje, nangesikhathi esizayo, iningi lalabo abaxhumana noKristu bahlulekile; bonke badlala indawo yabaFarisi. Ingabe iyini imbangela yokwehluleka kwenu? Isizathu esiyiso yingoba emicabangweni yenu kukhona uNkulunkulu ophakemeyo othandekayo. Kodwa iqiniso alifani nokufisa komuntu. Akukhona ukuthi uKristu akaphakeme kuphela, kepha muncanyana impela; akukhona ukuthi ungumuntu kuphela kepha ungumuntu ojwayelekile; akukhona ukuthi akakwazi ukwenyukela ezulwini, nokuthi akakwazi ukuhamba ngokukhululeka emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke abantu bamthatha njengomuntu ojwayelekile; bamthatha kalula lapho benaye futhi bakhulume ngokunganaki Kuye, sonke isikhathi belokhu belinde ukubuya “kukaKristu weqiniso.” Nibuka uKristu lo osewafika njengomuntu ojwayelekile nezwi Lakhe linjengelomuntu ojwayelekile. Ngakho-ke, anizange nithole lutho kuKristu kunalokho niveze ngokuphelele ububi benu ekukhanyeni.
