When last have you offered a sacrifice
Ungumphristi futhi uyadinga ukunikela ngomhlatshelo”– Uma kungakhona umuntu osho lokhu kuwe, ungaphendula uthini? u-1 KaPhethro 2:4-5 usho kona lokho ngqo! UMKhrestu ubunjelwa “ukuba ubuphristi obungcwele, ukuze ninikela ngemihlatshelo yokomoya eyamukelekile kuNkulunkulu”.
Iyiphi indlela esinikela ngayo “ngemihlatshelo yokomoya”?
Lokhu akusiwona umhlatshelo wegazi esiwudingayo ukuze sisindiswe (kumaHebheru 9:22). UJesu wazinikela uqoboLwakhe njengeWundlu likaNkulunkulu ukususa izono zethu ( ngokukaJohane 1:29; Hebheru 7:22-28; Hebheru 9:12). Kunalokhu nayi imihlatshelo mina kunye nawe, njengoba singamaKhrestu , esidinga ukuyinikela ngokuqhubekayo (Hebheru 13:15).
Nazike ngaleyendlela ezinye zezimpendulo kumbuzo othi “ ugcine nini ukunikela ngomhlatshelo?”
“ngeSonto eledlule ngesikhathi ngidumisa uNkulunkulu ngimazisa Yena nangalokho Yena ayikho kuzona zonke izimfanelo nezindlela Zakhe (Hebheru 13:15).”
“Izolo, lapho ngisiza omunye futhi ngimubusisa ngalokho uNkulunkulu anginikezele kona mina (Hebheru 13:16)”
“ Namhlanje ekuseni lapho ngiphinde ngalingeka ukwenza izinto ngendlela yalelizwe, kodwa ngenxa yokukholwa okuqinisekile okuvela eZwini likaNkulunkulu ngalokho Yena akudingayo, kunalokho ngiphendule ngobungcwele (kwabaseRoma 12:1-2).”
“Ekupheleni kwenyanga, ngeshikhathi ngikhokha izindleko zami, futhi nganikela ngemali esontweni lami ngenxa yomsebenzi weNkosi (Filiphu 4:18).”
“Ngesikhathi senhlanganyelo ebandleni lapho ngizinekela uqobo lwami ngokomoya ngenxa yokholo lomfowethu/ nodadewethu kuKhristu (Filiphu 2:17)”
SingamaKhrestu sinomPhristi oMkhulu Owanikela umhlatshelo wegazi enzela thina ukuze sibe sesimweni esifanele noNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke manje, ngokuqhubekelayo sinikela ngemihlatshelo yokomoya kuNkulunkulu ngendumiso, imisebenzi emihle, nangothando lwethu lomunye nomunye.
