Isiqondiso SaphezuluIsampula

Themba

Ngihlala e-Oklahoma lapho isimo sezulu singashintsha ngokukhulu ukushesha. Ngonyaka owodwa ngoMashi, saba nosuku oluhle kakhulu lwelanga lasentwasahlobo kanye nama-degree aphezulu angama-83. Ngakusasa kwawa iqhwa amayintshi amathathu. Njengoba lwalulukhulu kangaka lolu shintsho, akulutho uma luqhathaniswa nenkathi yesiphepho. Iziphepho zibonakala ziphenduphenduka zingazelele.

Njengoba benza ezimpilweni zethu.

Ngikhulume nowesifazane emdlalweni webhola likanobhutshuzwayo wendodana yami muva nje obekade elwa nezinkinga ezithile zezempilo. Wachaza indlela ayesondelene ngayo noNkulunkulu eminyakeni eyedlule futhi wayezibandakanya kakhulu esontweni lethu. Kepha lapho eqala ukubhekana nezilingo zangempela, wabuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ekuvumela. Walwa nezinyembezi lapho ethi, "Ngingamkhonza kanjani uNkulunkulu engingamethembi?"

Sizothemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu muhle noma impilo ingekho?

Umbuzo walo wesifazane uhlasela inhliziyo yesinye sezinqumo ezinkulu empilweni. Ngabe sizothemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu muhle noma impilo ingekho? Impendulo yethu ebuhlungwini kanye nezinselelo inquma kakhulu ngekusasa lethu.

Ngokwemvelo uqobo lwayo, ukholo ludinga ukwethembela kokuthile — noma kothile — lokho akubikezeli njalo noma okuqondakalayo ngezindinganiso zabantu. Uma sethembekile, iningi lethu lifuna ubufakazi obungenakuphikiswa bokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu okunomusa ezimpilweni zethu.

Lokhu akukusha. Khumbula ukungabaza uTomas? Ngemuva kokuthi uJesu ashone esiphambanweni futhi wavuka kwabafileyo, uThomas wathi ngeke akholwe ngaphandle kokuthi abone ubufakazi. Esikhundleni sokuthukuthela futhi amlahlele eceleni ngenxa yokuntula kwakhe ukholo, ngomusa uJesu wakhombisa uTomase izandla Zakhe ezibhobozwe ngezipikili.

Futhi uyabakhumbula abafundi esivunguvungwini? Kwaqhamuka uthuthuva olwaluthukuthele kakhulu, futhi amagagasi agqashula isikebhe, saze sacishe saminyana. Ngesikhathi sesiphepho, abafundi bebengebodwa. UMark usikhumbuza evesini elilandelayo ukuthi uJesu wayengemuva kwesikebhe elele.

NoJesu esikebheni sakho, izivunguvungu zisengakunyakazisa, kepha ngeke ucwile.

Abantu abanjengawe nami, owesifazane osemdlalweni webhola, uThomas, nabafundi bavame ukucabanga ukuthi besingeke sidlule esivunguvungwini ukube uNkulunkulu ubenathi ngempela. Kepha akusikho lokho. NoJesu esikebheni sakho, izivunguvungu zisengakunyakazisa, kodwa ngeke ucwile. Unawe, kokubili eshaweni yasentwasahlobo kanye nesiphepho esibi kunazo zonke ongazicabanga.

Akagcini nje ukuthi unawe, ukuwe. Futhi uma Yena engakuwe, ngubani ongamelana nawe? Thembela uNkulunkulu nganoma yini obuyibambile. Thembela kuye ngomlingani wakho wesikhathi esizayo. Mthembe ngezingane zakho. Thembela kuye ngomsebenzi wakho. Thembela kuye ngempilo yakho. Thembela kuye ngezimali zakho.

Mthembe ngaphandle kokubekisa.

Isikhathi.

Thandaza Baba oseZulwini, ngiyakwethemba Ngizoqala ngiyeke ini. Ngiyakwethemba lapho ngizohlala khona ngihambe khona. Ngiyakwethemba ngokwanele ukunikela ngempilo yami ukukhonza nokuxhuma kubantu. Futhi ngiyethemba Ubekhona ngenhloso phakathi kwezivunguvungu zempilo yami. Ngiyabonga ngokuba nami, ukuqondisa izinyathelo zami, nokunginikeza ukuqondisa okungcwele. Amen.
