Impilo ingukomoya - impumelelo
Ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu, iqembu labantu laqala uhambo olungaphumi ngenxa yelukuluku, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi babebonile inkanyezi ezulwini. Lelo nkanyezi kwakungeyona nje into esezulwini; Kwakuyisibonakaliso esingokomoya esibonisa ukuzalwa kwenkosi. Lamadoda, avame ukubizwa ngokuthi amadoda ahlakaniphile noma uMagi, kwakungebona abantu abajwayelekile. Ngokomlando, kwakuyisiko lamakhosi ukuthumela abeluleki bayo abathembekile, ama-Emsurisos, kanye namadoda ahlakaniphile ukugubha izehlakalo ezinkulu emibusweni engomakhelwane - njengokuzalwa kwengane yezombusazwe noma umshado wemindeni yezombusazwe (ukuze kwakhiwe ubuntu namandla akhuphukayo.
Lapho sizwa indaba yabantu abahlakaniphile, sivame ukunciphisa ukuvakasha kwabo endaweni ethule yamadoda amathathu anezipho ezilula. Kepha eqinisweni, kungenzeka ukuthi bahamba ngesitha esikhulu. Ukufika kwabo eJerusalema kwaphazamisa iNkosi uHerode kuze kube sezingeni lokuthi wababiza ngasese (Matewu 2: 3-7). Ubenze hlobo luni lobukhona lapho bebenzele khona ukusabela okunjalo kwiMonalch ebusayo? Uhambo lwabo lwasayina ukuthi babengamadoda acebile, isimo kanye nokuqonda ngokomoya. Bakwakwazi ukubona ezulwini lokho abaningi kwa-Israyeli, ngisho nalabo abangena embhalweni, bengakwazi ukubona.
I-STARS abayilandela kwakuyisibonakaliso esingokwesiprofetho, kanye nekhono labo lokufunda nokuyihumusha likhomba ngokoqobo okujulile: impumelelo nobukhulu kuvame ukuhlanganiswa ekuboneni ngokomoya. Njengoba uPawulu athi emadodeni ase-Athene athi: "Ngiyabona ukuthi kuzo zonke izinto wena ukholwa kakhulu" (Izenzo 17:22). Wavuma ukuthi ukuphishekela iqiniso kwabo, yize kuqondiswe kabi, kwaqhamuka elambele ngokomoya. Ezizweni eziningi kanye nempucuko, kusuka kuma-mesopotamiya asendulo kuya emandleni wanamuhla, sithola ukuthi labo abakhele futhi bahole ngokuhlakanipha kwakwenza lokho kuzwela ngokomoya.
Kuwo wonke umlando, akekho uMbuso oye wakhuphukela ngempela ekuvezeni ngaphandle kwesisekelo esingokomoya. Ngisho nasezifundeni ezibonwa njengamanje njengezindawo zezwe noma zezobuchwepheshe, izimpande zazo zamasiko ziveza ukuqonda kwemithetho nezinhlaka ezingokomoya. Abantu bavame ukucabanga ukuthi izizwe ezinjengalezo ezise-Asia zithola ubukhulu ngaphandle kokuqonda okungokomoya, kepha ukubhekisisa okujulile kwemilando yabo kukhombisa okuhlukile. Babenjalo, futhi bavame ukuba khona, beqondiswa amafilosofi angokomoya, izigwegwe kanye nemikhuba.
Ngisho nasezindabeni ezintsha kanye nobuciko, sibona leli phethini. Abaningi bacabanga ukuthi ukusungulwa okufana nendiza noma izakhiwo ezinhle zokwakha kwakumane nje kuyimikhiqizo yokucabanga komuntu. Kepha umBhalo uyasitshela, "Zonke izipho ezinhle neziphelele zivela phezulu, futhi zehlela kuYise wezibani" (Jakobe 1:17). Amandla okudala, ukuqamba amasu, nokuhola akuwona umuntu kuphela - kuphefumulelwe ngokwaphezulu. UDUTERONOME 29:29 uthi: "Izinto eziyimfihlo zingezinto zeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, kepha lezo zinto ezembuliwe zingezethu nasezinganeni zethu kuze kube phakade." Isambulo sivela engokomoya, futhi lapho samukelwa, siveza ukuhlakanipha nokuthuthuka.
Lapho umuntu ephumelela empilweni, ebhizinisini, noma ebuholini, kuvame ukuba ngoba sebetholile ulwazi oluphezulu - noma ngabe bayayazi. Lolo lwazi lungokomoya. Ukwehluleka kwabaningi kuvela ngokungakunaki leli qiniso, kucatshangelwa ukuthi izinto ezingokomoya azinakufanelekela ekuphumeleleni ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo. Kodwa-ke ukunyakaza okunethonya, imibono, nezinhlelo ezinomthelela omubi kakhulu endaweni engokomoya. UJesu wathi, "Amagama engiwakhuluma kini, angumoya, futhi angukuphila" (NgokukaJohane 6:63). Umoya unikeza impilo, ukuqondisa kanye nokuthela izithelo.
Ngakho-ke, kuwubuwula ukuzama ukwakha, ukukhula, noma ukuphumelela ngenkathi unganaki indawo engokomoya. Impumelelo yangempela nehlala njalo iqala ngesambulo. Yisandla sikaNkulunkulu esinikeza amandla okuthola ingcebo (Duteronome 8:18), futhi nguNkulunkulu onikeza ukuqonda, ukuhlakanipha necebo. Labo abaziyo indawo engokomoya yangempela izimisele ukwamukela uNkulunkulu. Ngaphandle kwalongqondo, ngisho nomqondo omuhle ungafa ebuntwaneni.
Ekuphetheni, ama-Magi ayecebile, ahlakaniphile futhi enamandla ngoba ayenamandla okubona ngokomoya. Babona isikhathi, babona uphawu, baphendula. Le yimodeli yempumelelo kunoma yimuphi unyaka. Uma samukela ingokomoya hhayi nje njengendlela yokuzinikela kodwa njengohlaka lokuqonda impilo nobuholi, sizobona imiphumela eye yaphezulu futhi esimeme. Impilo ingokomoya, futhi labo abahamba ngokuqonda okungokomoya bayohlala beza phambili.
