Thola i AppUkulungiselela Izinhliziyo Zethu NgePhasika: Ukuzinikela ngesikhathi sokuzilaIsampula
"Usuku lwama-31: Onochoko"
Uchoko olunenkinga lwalungenye yezinto ezimbi kakhulu ezazingenzeka kumuntu emhlabeni wasendulo. Noma nini lapho onochoko eseduze nabanye abantu, kwakudingeka amemeze athi “angcolile, akahlanzekile,” ngakho abadlulayo babezokwazi ukuziqhelelanisa. Umuntu onochoko kwakudingeka ahlale “yedwa, ngaphandle kwekamu,” ukuze kuncishiswe ingozi yokudlulisela isifo sakhe kwabanye (Levitikusi 13: 45-46). Ukuze abe nochoko kwakufanele ahlukaniswe futhi ahlaziswe ngokungapheli.
Wabe esefika uJesu waguqula konke. Obunye bobuhle obuhle bamaVangeli ukuthi babhala kangaki ukuxhumana kukaJesu nabanochoko. Wasondela kubo wafikelwa yibo. Wayebaphatha ngenhlonipho nangomusa. Wenza ngisho nokungacabangeki: wabathinta, futhi ukuthinta kwakhe kwabahlanza. Ujesu welapha abanochoko.
Izazi eziningi zebhayibheli ziveze ukuthi kukhona ukufaniswa phakathi kwesimo somzimba sochoko nesimo somoya esingokomoya. Isono ezinhliziyweni zethu siyasihlukanisa, noNkulunkulu nabanye abantu. Zama ngangokunokwenzeka ukuyifihla noma ukuyisusa, ibala lesono lihlala likhona. NjengoLady Macbeth, sizama ukugeza ibala lesono elikhala sithi, "out damn'd spot," konke lokho akusizi ngalutho. Asingcolile, futhi siyakwazi.
Izindaba ezimnandi zevangeli ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyindoda ehlanzeke ngokweqile. Lapho ethinta onochoko, uJesu akazange amngene ochokweni. Kunalokho, onochoko wahlanzeka. Labo abazama ize ukususa isono sabo kumele bavume ukuthintwa yindoda ehlanzeke ngokuthelelanayo. Futhi, njengomuntu onochoko endabeni, kwangathi thina esesike sathintwa lokho kuthinta singaba nokubonga okungenakuphikiswa, sikhulume ngokukhululeka ngokuhlangana kwethu nale ndoda ehlanzekile eyosulelayo.
Umkhuleko
Baba oseZulwini, siyabonga ngeNdodana yakho ehlanzisisa konke ethintayo. Ngomusa wakhe kwangathi izinhliziyo zethu nezenzo zethu zingathintwa nguye lolu suku nanamuhla. Egameni likaKristu, Amen.
