Uhlelo Lwamahhala Lokufunda nokuthandaza okuhlobene ne 1 kwabaseKorinte 13:4

UJesu wathi, “Nginikhethile nina, nganibeka ukuba niphume, nithele izithelo, nezithelo zenu zihlale” (Joh. 15:16). Wathi futhi, “Ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho” (Joh. 15:5). Ukuthela izithelo kungukuphila impilo ayiphilayo uJesu eselapha emhlabeni. Kuyagcizelelwa kulawa mavesi angenhla ukuthi lokho kungumyalo kaJesu nokuthi akhona amandla okuzithela izithelo. UPawulu usitshela ngezithelo eziyisishiyagalolunye ezivezwa uMoya oNgcwele kulabo abamvumeleyo behamba ngokukaMoya (Gal. 5:22, 23). Sizokhuluma kancane ngalezi zithelo. Masikhumbule ukuthi ngokwethu asinamandla okuzithela. Kepha ngamandla akhe singazithela.

UNkulunkulu uluthando. Ngakho-ke, umyalo wakhe omkhulu kithi kwakuwukuMthanda ngeziqu zethu zonke. Umyalo wakhe olandelayo wawuwukuthanda abanye. Nokho, ngezinye izikhathi singahlukaniswa phakathi kwezimo ezimbili ezeqisayo: ukuba semthethweni nokungabi namthetho. Futhi alubonisi uthando lukaNkulunkulu. Kubalulekile ukulalela isikhuthazo sikaJesu kubafundi bakhe sokuba baqaphele kokubili ukweqisa. Kunalokho, masihlale sigxile emsebenzini wethu owumgogodla - ukuphishekela uNkulunkulu wothando!

Akukhathaliseki ukuthi sihlushwa amanxeba angokomzwelo noma ngokomzimba, intethelelo iyisisekelo sempilo yobuKristu. Ujesu Kristu wabhekana nazo zonke izinhlobo zokuphathwa ngokungafanele nokungalungile, kwaze kwaba seqophelweni lokufa okungafanele. Nokho ngehora lakhe lokugcina, wathethelela isela eliyinhlekisa elikwesinye isiphambano kanye nababulali bakhe.
