Ukucatshangelwa kukaJohane 15: 1-17 kuzokwenza lukhulu ekusikhuthazeni ukuba sithandane ngokwengeziwe, ngoba kukhombisa uthando olukhulu lukaKristu ngathi futhi kwakha ukwazisa ngelungelo elikhulu lokuba abafowethu nodadewethu kuKristu.
“Mina ngingumvini weqiniso futhi uBaba ungumlimi. Ususa wonke amagatsha angatheli izithelo kimi. ” - UJohn 15: 1-2a NET
Indima iqala ngesixwayiso esinamandla. Siyaqonda ukuthi singamagatsha kaKristu (UJohn 15: 3, 2 Korion 5: 20). Uma singatheli zithelo kuKristu, khona-ke uBaba uzosisusa kuKristu.
IGreater Gardener ayisusi nje kuphela amanye amagatsha angatheli zithelo kuKristu, iwasusa ngekhono zonke igatsha elingatheli izithelo. Lokho kusho ukuthi ngamunye wethu kudingeka azihlole, ngoba siqinisekiswa ukusikwa uma sehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezinga lakhe.
Ake sizame ukuqonda lo mfanekiso ngokubuka kweGadi Enkulu. I-athikili eyodwa yewebhu [1] isho ngephuzu eliyinhloko ngemuva kwezihlahla zokuthena:
Izihlahla eziningi zezithelo ezitshalwe ezingadini zasekhaya ziyizihlahla ezivulekile. Isikhala siyigatsha elifushane lapho isihlahla sihlama khona bese sithela izithelo. Ukuthena kukhuthaza izihlahla ukuthi zikhule ngaphezulu kwalezi zithelo ezivuzayo ngokususa izimbangi ezincintisanayo nezinkuni ezingakhiqizi.
Ngakho-ke singakuqonda ukuthi ukususa izinkuni ezingakhiqizi kuyadingeka ukuba uJesu Kristu akhule amagatsha amaningi azothela izithelo esikhundleni salokho. Ivesi 2b liyaqhubeka:
Amagatsha onke athela izithelo ukuze athele izithelo eziningi. - UJohn 15: 2b NET
Le ndima ifudumeza inhliziyo, ngoba isikhumbuza ukuthi uBaba wethu onothando usibonisa isihawu. Akekho kithi ongatheli bezithelo ezinhle, futhi ngothando unquma ngamunye wethu ukuze sithele ezinye izithelo. Ngokungafani nalabo abangatheli zithelo, silungiswa ngothando. Mangaza ngokuvumelana kwezwi likaNkulunkulu eliphefumulelwe:
Ndodana yami, ungathuki isiyalo seNkosi noma unikele lapho ekuqondisa.
ENkosini abafundi yilowo amthandayo futhi amjezise ngayo yonke indodana ayamukelayo. - Heberu 12: 5-6 NET
Uma uzizwa ujezisiwe, noma uyalwa, ungapheli amandla, kodwa jabula ngokwazi ukuthi uyakwamukela njengegatsha lomvini weqiniso, uJesu Kristu. Uyakwamukela njengendodana noma indodakazi. Futhi khumbula ukuthi zonke izingane ezamukelwe zikaBaba zihamba ngenqubo efanayo yokuthena.
Noma ngabe ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu omusha sha futhi uthela izithelo ezincane, uthathwa njengehlanzekile futhi wamukelekile [2]:
Uhlanzekile, ngenxa yezwi engikukhulume kuwe - UJohn 15: 3 NET
Njengegatsha likaKristu, umunye naye. Ubisi olusekela impilo lugeleza phakathi kwamagatsha ethu futhi nawe uyingxenye yakhe, okufanekiswa kahle ngokudla iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa:
Wasethatha isinkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: “Lokhu kungumzimba wami onikelwayo kwakho. Yenza lokhu ukuba ungikhumbule. ”Wayesethatha indebe ngemuva kokudla, wathi:“ Le ndebe iyathululwa kwakho yisivumelwano esisha egazini lami. ”- ULuka 22: 19-20 NET
Lapho siba nobunye noKristu, sikhunjuzwa ukuthi kuphela ngokuhlala ebunyeni naye kuphela esingakwazi ukuqhubeka sithela izithelo. Uma inhlangano yezenkolo ithi ukuyishiya ngemuva kuyefana nokushiya uKristu, khona-ke bonke abashiya inhlangano enjalo ngokunengqondo bayeke ukuthela izithelo zobuKristu. Uma singathola ngisho nomuntu oyedwa ongayekanga ukuthela izithelo, khona-ke siyazi ukuthi isimangalo senhlangano yenkolo singamanga, ngoba uNkulunkulu ngeke aqambe amanga.

Ukuhlubuka kusho ukwehla kuKristu, ukuzisusa kuye ngokuzithandela kuKristu ngemuva kokuhlanganiswa naye ebunyeni. Isihlubuki sasiqashelwa kalula ngokubona ukuntuleka kwezithelo zomoya ezivezwa ngezenzo nangamazwi akhe.
