Iningi lochwepheshe lilinganisa inani labo ngomkhiqizo. Izipesheli zivaliwe. Amaphrojekthi athunyelwa. Amabhokisi okungenayo awanalutho. Siphila ngaphakathi kwezilinganiso kanye nezinsuku zokugcina, futhi endaweni ethile endleleni, siqala ukukholelwa ukuthi konke kuncike kithi. Uma singafiki, yonke into iyama. Uma singakhiqizi, akukho lutho oluhambayo.
Lawo manga awahlali ehhovisi. Angena okholweni lwethu. Siqala ukucabanga ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni uncike emzamweni wethu, ekhonweni lethu, kanye nokuzimisela kwethu ukuthwala umthwalo. Ubizo luqala ukuzizwa lucindezelekile. Ukulalela kuqala ukuzizwa sengathi kunesisindo. Inkonzo, edeskini noma endaweni engcwele, iqala ukuzizwa sengathi inzima.
UJohane 21 ulandisa indaba ehlukile. Ngemva kovuko, abafundi badoba ubusuku bonke kodwa ababambanga lutho. Ekuseni, uJesu wamemeza esesogwini wabuza ukuthi banalutho yini. Bathi cha. Wabatshela ukuthi baphonse inetha ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesikebhe. Balalela, inetha laphakama kakhulu kangangokuthi babengakwazi ukulidonsa. Okwesikhashana, kwabonakala sengathi umsebenzi wabo usuphelile. Base befika ogwini. UJesu wayesenomlilo wamalahle ovuthayo. Izinhlanzi zase ziphekiwe kakade. Isinkwa sase silindile kakade. Ukudla kwasekuseni kwase kuqalile kakade. Wabe esesho into okufanele ichithe wonke umuntu ozibona ebalulekile oyifundayo. “Lethani ezinye zezinhlanzi enisanda kuzibamba” (John 21: 10).
Bamba lokho. Ukudla kwakungaxhomekile ekubambeni kwabo. Wayesafuna umnikelo wabo. UKristu wayengadingi izinhlanzi zabo ukuze zibondle. Wayesevele ebanikeze lokho okwakudingeka. Kodwa wakwamukela lokho ababekuletha. Umsebenzi wabo awuzange udale ukuhlinzekwa. Kwabaxhumanisa nakho. Isimangaliso kwakungesikho ukuthi banika uJesu okuthile ayekuswele. Isimangaliso kwakuwukuthi wabavumela ukuba bahlanganyele nhlobo.
Lokho kushintsha indlela esiqonda ngayo umsebenzi wethu. UNkulunkulu akadingi umkhiqizo wethu ukuze afeze izinjongo Zakhe. Akanqunyelwe ukusebenza kwethu. Akanciki ekhonweni lethu lokwenza okuthile. Imisebenzi yethu, ithonya lethu, ubufakazi bethu akuzona izinto azidingayo kakhulu. Ziyizipho azinikeza ngomusa. Isimemo sokubambisana nalokho asekwenza kakade emhlabeni. Lokho kushintsha isimo somsebenzi wethu. Asiveli ngoba umhlaba uzowa ngaphandle kwethu, kodwa ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhethe ukusibandakanya. Asisebenzi ukuze sibonise ukubaluleka kwethu. Sisebenza ngoba sesibiziwe kakade. Asifakazi ngoKristu ngoba uNkulunkulu akanakuzisiza ngaphandle kwezwi lethu. Siyafakaza ngoba uyakujabulela ukusebenzisa ukulalela kwabantu ezinhlosweni zaphezulu.
KwabaseKolose 3:23 uthi, "Noma yini eniyenzayo, yenzeni ngenhliziyo yonke, njengokungathi nenzela iNkosi, kungabi ngabantu." Lokho kuwubizo lokuthola amalungelo, hhayi ingcindezi. Umsebenzi wakho wansuku zonke awusiwo nje umsebenzi, kodwa ukuhlanganyela. Ingozi iwukukhohlwa lokho bese uguqula ukubambisana kwaphezulu kube umthwalo womuntu siqu. Uma lokho kwenzeka, siyacasuka ngalokho okufanele kwamukelwe ngokubonga futhi siphathe ukulalela njengesibopho esikhundleni sethuba. Siphila sengathi uNkulunkulu uthembele kithi kunokukhumbula ukuthi usimemile.
UKristu ovukile akazange acele abafundi ukuba baphe ukudla. Wabacela ukuba balethe lokho ababekubambile futhi bahlanganyele naye emlilweni. Kwangathi singalokothi sididanise ukumenywa nokuba yinto ebalulekile. Kwangathi singalokothi siphathe ubizo njengesisindo esikhundleni sokumangala. Ukusebenza noKristu emakethe akuyona into esiyikhuthazelelayo. Kuyinto esizihloniphayo ukuyithola.
