Forgiveness and forgetfulness
“Xolela bese uyakhohlwa” noma “dlulisa” yinkulumo enenhloso enhle, kodwa iyiseluleko okulukhuni ukuba singakwazi ukwenzeka esinikezelwa ukuba ukwazi ukunqoba ubuhlungu nengxabano imvamisa ewumphumela wesono nokuzicabangela komuntu. Yize noma ukukhohlwa kungasiza kakhulu ekuqhubekeleni phambili emveni kokulinyazwa okunzima, akuyona kodwa into engaphoqelelwa, futhi uma kuziwa ekulinyazweni okunomthelela ozoba khona isikhathi eside, ukukhohlwa kunzima kakhulu. Kulapho-ke la amazwi athi “kumele uzame ukuthi ukhohlwe bese udlulisa” athanda ukuba aqedane amandla bese avele enze ube nokulahlwa unembeza (ngokungafanele) ngaphezu kokuzwa ubuhlungu.
Thina njengamakholwa sazi kangcono kunokuthi nje sithembe ukukhohlwa emveni kokwenza uxolo. Sinesibonelo esiyisilinganiso soxolo esiphezulu, ngoba silendelwe ukuba sixolelane njengoba uNkulunkulu asixolela (KwabaseKholose 3:13, Kwabase-Efesu 4:32). Ngakubeyena uNkulunkulu uya”xolela bese eyakhohlwa”? Cha akunjalo! Ngakube lokho kuchaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyaxolela, kodwa uyakugcina emqondweni Wakhe ngasosonke isikhathi? Ngokumangazayo futhi, Cha akenzi kanjalo! uNkulunkulu owazi izinto zonke “uyanquma ukungakhumbuli”– yiyona indlela Yakhe ayincamelayo yokubeka amazwi achaza lokho, emveni kokuxolela , akwenzayo ngolwazi olungakhohlweki analo ngesono esenziwe Kuye.
Mina, Mina nginguye owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami;angiyukuzikhumbula izono zakho.
IZaya43:25
“ngokuba ngiyakubathethelela ububi babo, nesono sabo angisayukusikhumbula.”
UJeremiya 31:34
Ngokuba ngiyakubahawukela nakuba bonile, ngingabe ngisazikhumbula nezono zabo.”
KumaHebheru8:12
UNkulunkulu owazi izinto “unquma ukungakhumbuli” izono esizenzile Kuye. Yileso isibonelo esiyizinga esilibekelwe thina. Ungazami ngandlile thize engafaki umfutho ukuba “uxole bese uyakhohlwa”, kunalokho, ngokufaka amandla susa umcabango wesono esesixolelwe emqondweni ngendlela yokuthi ungalokhe udlinza ngaso. Ngisho uma isono, yize sixolelwe, kodwa sinomphumela othatha isikhathi eside ukudlula okumele uwuthwale, lesisibonelo soku “xolela bese unquma ukungakhumbuli” sizosiza ekutheni kubekhona ukubuyisana okunentokozo nokuhlala isikhathi eside.Masingagculiswa imizamo yalelizwe yokwenza izenzo zaMakhrestu njengokuxolela, kodwa basilikhuphule izinga ukuba bonke babone kahle ibanga uNkulunkulu alihambile ukusixolela izono zethu ezinkulu esizenzile Kuye.
