Ukuthola Injabulo Yangempela: Ukuzinikela noJohn PiperIsampula

Abakholelwa kuJesu bayigugu kuNkulunkulu (singumakoti wakhe!). Futhi usithanda kakhulu kangangoba ngeke avumele ukubaluleka kwethu kube unkulunkulu wethu.

UNkulunkulu empeleni wenza okuningi ngathi (ukwamukelwa!), Kepha ukwenza ngendlela yokusikhipha kithi ukuze sijabulele ubukhulu bakhe.

Zihlole. Uma uJesu efika ukuzochitha usuku nawe, wahlala phansi eceleni kwakho kusofa, wathi, “Ngiyakuthanda ngempela,” ubuzogxila kuphi usuku ngalo lonke usuku olichitha ndawonye naye?

Kubonakala kimi ukuthi izingoma nezintshumayelo eziningi kakhulu zisishiya nempendulo okungeyona. Zishiya umbono wokuthi ukuphakama kwenjabulo yethu kungaba kumuzwa ophindayo wokuthandwa. “Uyangithanda!” “Uyangithanda!” Le yinjabulo impela. Kepha hhayi ukuphakama hhayi ukugxila.

Sithini ngamagama athi "Ngiyathandwa"? Sisho ukuthini? Kuyini lokhu "ukuthandwa"?

Ngabe injabulo enkulu kunazo zonke, ephakamisa uKristu ingatholwa ngokubuka uJesu usuku lonke futhi aqhume athi, "Uyamangalisa!" “Uyamangalisa!”

• Uphendula umbuzo onzima kakhulu, futhi ukuhlakanipha kwakhe kuyamangalisa.
• Uthinta isilonda esingcolile, esigobhozayo, futhi ububele bakhe buyamangalisa.
• Uvusa owesifazane ofile ehhovisi lomhloli wezokwelapha, futhi amandla akhe ayamangalisa.
• Ubika izehlakalo zantambama, futhi ulwazi lwakhe lwezinto ezizayo luyamangalisa.
• Ulala ngesikhathi kuzamazama umhlaba, futhi ukungabi navalo kwakhe kuyamangalisa.
• Uthi, "Ngaphambi kokuba u-Abrahama abekhona, NGINGUYE," futhi amazwi akhe ayamangalisa

Sihamba naye simangale ngalokhu esikubonayo.

Ingabe uthando analo ngathi akusilo yini intshisekelo yakhe yokusenzela konke okumele akwenze (kufaka phakathi ukusifela) ukuze simmangaze futhi singashiswa nguye? Ukuhlengwa, ukubuyisana, ukuxolelwa, ukulungiswa, ukubuyisana - konke lokhu kufanele kwenzeke. Ziyizenzozothando.

Kodwa uumgomowothando owenza lezozenzoukuthanda ukuthi sibe naye futhi sibone inkazimulo yakhe emangazayo futhi simangale. Kulezo zinkhathi siyazikhohlwa futhi simbone futhi simuzwe.

Ngakho-ke nginxusa abefundisi nothisha bezwi: Dudulani abantu ngokusebenzisa le zenzo zothando lukaKristu kulomgomo wothando lwakhe. Uma ukuhlengwa nenhlawulo nokuxolelwa nokulungisiswa nokubuyisana kungasiyisi ekuthokozeni kukaJesu uqobo, akulona uthando.

Cindezela kulokhu. Yilokho uJesu akuthandazela.

“Kungani Ujabula Ngothando LukaJesu?”
