Yiba nokuthula kimi

“Lokho ngikukhulume kini ukuba nibe nokuthula kimi. Ezweni niyakuba lusizi, kepha yimani isibindi, mina ngilinqobile izwe.”

NgokukaJohane 16:33

UJesu washo lokhu kubaphostoli Bakhe abathandekayo eGumbini Eliphezulu ngobusuku bokukhashelwa Kwakhe. Wayehamba, futhi babezokhathazeka, besaba, bakhathazeke, bakhathazeke. Ngalobobusuku Wenza izithembiso zokudambisa izinhliziyo zabo ezikhathazekile. Waze wathi: “Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki.” Futhi wabathembisa uthando noMoya oNgcwele futhi waphendula umkhuleko nokuthula. Wathi kubo: “Asikho isizathu sokukhathazeka. Konke engikutshele khona ngikwenzela ukuba ube nokuthula enhliziyweni yakho ngoba uyazi ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele ukhona. Akukho okumele ukhathazeke ngakho. Ezweni niyakuba nosizi.” Lelo gama empeleni lisho “inkathazo.”

Livela egameni elisho “ingcindezi.” “Uzompintsha kanzima ubunzima bale mpilo, kodwa phakathi kwakho, yiba nesibindi ngoba ekugcineni ngiwunqobile umhlaba.” Okusho ukuthi akukho lutho umhlaba ongakwenzela lona olunqobayo ekugcineni. Ubuhlungu besikhashana, ukudumala kwesikhashana, kodwa ukuphikiswa komhlaba kuye kwenziwa ize.

Futhi nakuba izwe liqhubeka lihlasela abantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukuhlasela okunjalo kuwa ngokungenangozi, ngoba ukunqoba kukaKristu kakade sekufezile ukunqotshwa okubhidlizayo kwaso sonke isimiso sezwe.
