ngiyeza maduze

Lesi sihloko sinikezelwe esitatimendeni seNkosi uJesu esaziwayo: “Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane; Bambisisa onakho, ukuze kungabikho muntu okuphuca umqhele wakho. (Funda isAmbulo 3,11:XNUMX, XNUMX.)

Okushiwo igama elithi “maduze” kuncike kokuqukethwe ukulinda. Okuthatha isikhathi eside kumuntu oyedwa kungase kubonakale kufushane kunomunye. Lena yindlela igama elithi “maduze” okufanele liqondwe ngayo ngokuqhathaniswa. Lokhu kuhlobana kufanele kucatshangelwe ngoba kungagwema ukudumazeka okuthile, kodwa futhi kungenza buthaka ukholo.

UNowa, isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, washumayela iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili mayelana nokuza kukazamcolo. Kuhle ukukucabanga lokhu: Usuku nosuku, inyanga nenyanga, unyaka nonyaka, uNowa wamemezela okufanayo: “Masinyane kuza uzamcolo ozobhubhisa zonke izinto!” Kulula ukucabanga ukuthi abantu babekuthatha ngokungathi sína lokho ekuqaleni. Kodwa ngokulinda isikhathi eside kweminyaka eyi-120, ukungathí sina kuye kwehla kakhulu. Ekugcineni baze bamhleka uNowa: “Aphi amafu amnyama? Iphi imvula enkulu?” (Okuqukethwe kulesi sigaba kuthathwe encwadini ethi: “Patriarchs and Prophets” Isahluko 120, kaEGWhite.)

Amazwi angenhla eNkosi uJesu aseneminyaka eyizi-2.000 kakade. Ngalesi sikhathi eside, abantu bakaNkulunkulu baqhubeka nokukholwa ukuthi izikhathi zokugcina zase ziqalile kakade. Abaphostoli beNkosi uJesu nabo bavumelana nalombono:

“Ngokuba iNkosi uqobo iyakwehla ezulwini ngomyalo nangezwi lengelosi enkulu nangecilongo likaNkulunkulu, nabafileyo kuKristu bayovuka kuqala. Ngemuva kwalokho sizokwenza, ukuthi siphila futhi labo abaseleyo bayohlwithwa kanye nabo emafwini ukuze bahlangabeze iNkosi emoyeni, futhi kanjalo siyoba neNkosi njalo. Ngakho duduzanani ngalawa mazwi.”— 1 Thesalonika 4,14:16-XNUMX .
Umphostoli uPawulu wabhala leli gama elingenhla eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili edlule. Kulesi simo i

Ilindile, umlando waziphinda ngaphambi kukazamcolo. Nakulokhu, ukukholwa ekufikeni okuseduze kweNkosi uJesu kuya ngokuya kunyamalala; ngaphezu kwalokho okuhambisana nokumomotheka okuyindida:
“Niyazi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuthi ngezinsuku zokugcina kuyakufika abahleki bosulu, behleka, belandela izinkanuko zabo, bethi, Siphi isithembiso sokufika kwakhe na? Ngokuba lapho obaba sebelala ubuthongo, zonke izinto zisekhona zinjengoba zazinjalo kwasekuqaleni kokudalwa.” ( 2 Petru 3,3.4:XNUMX, XNUMX ) Ngakho-ke, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka uphila ngendlela engafanele.

Umbuzo obalulekile nobalulekile usasele: “Lokhu okubikezelwe ukuthi kuseduze kuzoqondwa kanjani namuhla?” Ingabe lokhu "kungekudala" kusabalulekile nakancane?

Ngaphezu kwakho konke, kumelwe kukhunjulwe: “Ngokuba nina ngokwenu nazi kahle ukuthi usuku lweNkosi luza njengesela ebusuku.” ( 1 Thesalonika 5,2:XNUMX ) Isela alizenzi izimpawu ezisobala zokuthi liyofika nini noma nini. uyeza . Akunjalo Nkulunkulu! Uhola abantu bakhe ekukhanyeni.

“Lapho bethi: “Ukuthula nokulondeka! khona-ke imbubhiso engazelelwe ibafikele, njengemihelo yokubeletha phezu kokhulelweyo; futhi ngeke baphunyuke.” ( 1 Thesalonika 5,3:XNUMX ) Ngakho
Izinhlungu zokubeletha ziwuphawu lokugcina lokuthi umntwana uyeza maduze. Okubaluleke kakhulu kulesi sikhathi: Umama ozobeletha ngokushesha kumelwe azilungiselele kusengaphambili nangokucophelela izinto ezithile.

IBhayibheli liqukethe wonke amalungiselelo adingekayo okubuya koMsindisi. Ngamazwi ami: “Isimo somuntu olindile kumelwe sibukeke kanjani ukuze akwazi ukuphila ngokuthula nangobulungisa bezenhlalo emhlabeni omusha?”

Lokhu kulungiselela okubalulekile, okubalulekile akukwazi ukuhlehliswa ngoba awazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani emzuzwini olandelayo! Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi ukufa okuzumayo kungaba yinhlekelele, kodwa kungase kuphakame izimo ezihlukahlukene ezingavimbela ukuphenduka, ukuzisola nokufulathela indlela engalungile yokuphila. Lolu bizo lothando oluvela kuMsindisi wethu, ongafuni kubhubhe noma ubani, luyasebenza lapha: "Ngiyeza maduze!". Lokhu kufanele kukhale njalo ezindlebeni zakho!

“Kepha nina, bazalwane, anikho ebumnyameni, funa usuku lunifice njengesela; ngokuba nina nonke ningamadodana okukhanya namadodana emini; asisibo abobusuku, ayisibo abobumnyama. Ngakho-ke masingalali njengabanye, kodwa masiphaphame futhi sisanguluke! Ngokuba abalalayo balala ebusuku, nabadakwayo badakwa ebusuku. Kepha thina esingabemini masizithibe, sigqoke isivikelo sesifuba sokukholwa nothando, nesigqoko sethemba lokusindiswa.” ( 1 Thesalonika 5,4:XNUMX )

Zonke lezi zimfanelo ezenza umuntu akwazi ukuphila kulo mhlaba omusha okhazimulayo ziqukethwe emthethweni kaNkulunkulu wokuziphatha - “Imithetho Eyishumi”. Kulabo abathi iNkosi uJesu yaletha yonke le mithetho esiphambanweni nokuthi ayisasebenzi, ubizo lothando luthi: “Yenzani futhi niyigcwalise, ngokuba "Ngiyeza maduze!"

Kulabo abahlupheka kakhulu ezimpilweni zabo, kukhona ihange eliqinile lethemba elikhulu: "Ngiyeza maduze"! Uma umuntu ebengase adedele lelihange lokholo, iyiphi injongo yokuphila ebingahlala?

Ngokwemvelo umuntu noma ngabe ukusiphi isimo akafuni ukufa. Izibonelo ezimbili zingakubonisa lokhu: Ubaba wamiswa njengodokotela ukuze abone isalukazi esigula kakhulu, esigugile kakhulu. Wambuza ngolimi lwayo: “Baba, ingabe ngizophila isikhashana nje?” Futhi ngokwami ​​mathupha: Ezinhlungwini zami ezingapheli, ngivame ukufisa ukufa. Kodwa uma kunje, ngidabukile ukuthi kufanele ngife.

Kwezinye izingxoxo eziphathelene nokuhlupheka kulo mhlaba, ukulangazelela okukhulu kuvame ukuvela: “INkosi uJesu iyeza masinyane!” Futhi Uthembisile:

“Futhi uMoya noMlobokazi bathi, Woza! Futhi lowo ozwayo makathi: Woza! Nowomileyo makeze; Noma ngubani ofuna ukuthatha amanzi okuphila mahhala. Ukhuluma ofakaza ngalokhu: Yebo, ngizoba lapho maduze. – Amen, woza, Nkosi Jesu! Umusa weNkosi uJesu mawube nani nonke!” ( IsAmbulo 22,17.21:XNUMX, XNUMX )

Umusa nesibusiso makube phezu kwabo bonke abalinde ngokulangazela futhi ngokuzimisela nangobuqotho abalingiswa babo besenzela umcimbi ojabulisayo wokuza kweNkosi uJesu.
“Jabulani, noma yini eyenzekayo; …Yiba nomusa ekusebenzelaneni kwakho nabantu bonke; Ngokuba niyazi ukuthi ukufika kweNkosi sekusondele.” ( Filipi 4,4:XNUMX )
