Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka

“Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu kayithumelanga iNdodana ezweni ukuba yahlulele izwe, kodwa ukuba izwe lisindiswe ngayo. 

NgokukaJohane 3:16-17

Enhliziyweni yomlayezo kaNkulunkulu kithina kuyindlela yokubalekela ukubhubha. “Ukubhubha” kusho ukubhujiswa kwaphakade, isahlulelo saphezulu nolaka, isijeziso esisabekayo. UJesu washo okuningi ngesihogo kunasezulwini. Wakhuluma ngomlilo ongapheli, ngendawo lapho abantu bezwa ukugedla kwamazinyo unomphela, isizungu, ubumnyama, ukukhala, nokulila. Lokho kuyabhubha. 

Kodwa uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wathumela iNdodana yakhe ukuba singabhubhi, kodwa sibe nokuphila okuphakade. Futhi lokho akulona nje inani lokuphila; lelo izinga lempilo. Akuyona le mpilo yesikhashana; lolu hlobo lokuphila kuze kube phakade. Lokho kungaba uhlobo lwesihogo ngokwako. Ngolunye uhlobo lwempilo. UNkulunkulu uzosinika ukuphila okuphakade, futhi yingakho sinegama elithi “sindiswa” elisetshenziswe lapha. 

Igama elithi "kuhlengwa." Siyahlengwa ekubhujisweni futhi asinikezwanga nje kuphela impilo ehlukile kulokhu kuphila, kodwa futhi impilo ehluke kakhulu nempilo yokubhubha. Siphiwe ukuphila okuphakade. Kuwuhlobo lwempilo kaNkulunkulu. Sihlanganyela ngokoqobo enjabulweni yokungafi kobuNkulunkulu, yona kanye impilo engokukaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe. 

UNkulunkulu usinika ukuphila Kwakhe, yona kanye impilo ekhona ngaphakathi kobuyena kanye nobuyena beNdodana noMoya oNgcwele. Jabula njalo ukuthi usindiswe uthando lukaNkulunkulu.
