"Usuku 24: Igatsha"
Kulula ukuwela ogibeni lokucabanga ukuthi uthando lukaNkulunkulu nokukhathalela kwethu kuyakhuphuka futhi kwehle kuye ngokuthi siphila kanjani kahle empilweni yobuKristu. Ngemuva kwakho konke, nathi uqobo lwethu sinikela futhi sihoxise uthando lwethu kwabanye kuya ngokuthi ngabe baphila ngendlela ejabulisa thina yini. Ngokujabulisayo, noma ngabe simakwe ngokungaguquguquki, uNkulunkulu uphawuleka ngokungaguquguquki.
Ngomprofethi uJeremiya, ukhumbuza abantu bakhe ukuthi bangathembela ezithembisweni zakhe nokuthi uyohlale ekulungele ukubasiza. Uthembisa ukungaguquguquki nokwethembeka kwakhe: “Udavide akasoze ahluleka ukuthola umuntu ozohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi… futhi abapristi abasoze behluleka ukuba nomuntu onikela imihlatshelo” (vv. 17-18). Ekugcineni, uJesu uyinkosi ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi futhi ezinikele njengomhlatshelo unomphela.
Ujesu uyiGatsha elilungile elisinikeza ukulunga kwakhe ukuze singesabi ukwaliwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yalokho singaletha ukwehluleka kwethu nokungathembeki kuNkulunkulu. Ujesu ngeke asifulathele. Usuku nosuku singaletha ukuphenduka kwethu futhi sazi ukuthi uzokuthola. Singathembela ekutheni uNkulunkulu uzosinika isiqalo esisha ngenxa yempilo, ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu. Sonke sidinga ukuqala okusha usuku ngalunye. Uma uza kuye ucela lokho, uNkulunkulu uzokwethembeka ukukunikeza.
Umkhuleko
