2 Kings 20:1–8

Ngalezo zinsuku uHezekiya wagula, wayephansi kokufa. Kwafika kuye u-Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose, wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Yalela indlu yakho, ngokuba uyakufa, awuyikusinda.”  Wayesephendulela ubuso bakhe odongeni, wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi: “Ngiyacela, Jehova: ake ukhumbule ukuthi ngihambile phambi kwakho ngeqiniso nangenhliziyo epheleleyo, ngenzile okuhle emehlweni akho.” Wayesekhala uHezekiya ngokukhala okukhulu.  Kwathi u-Isaya engakaphumi emzini ongaphakathi, izwi likaJehova lafika kuye, lathi: “Buya, uthi kuHezekiya umholi wabantu bami: ‘Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyihlo, uthi: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, ngibonile izinyembezi zakho; bheka, ngiyakukuphilisa; ngosuku lwesithathu uyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova. Ngiyakwenezela ezinsukwini zakho iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu, ngikophule wena nalo muzi esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya; ngiyakuwuvikela lo muzi ngenxa yami nangenxa yenceku yami uDavide.’ ”  Wathi u-Isaya: “Landani isigaxa samakhiwane.” Basilanda, basibeka ethumbeni, wasinda.  Wayesethi uHezekiya ku-Isaya: “Siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokuthi uJehova uyangiphilisa nokuthi ngiyakwenyukela endlini kaJehova ngosuku lwesithathu na?”

IBhayibheli alisho lutho  ngesifo somdlavuza,kodwa kukhona elikushoyo ngezifo. Inkosi uHezekiya yayigula ngenxa yethumba elalimphethe, lisho ukumbulala.Inkosi uHezekiya yayizokufa ngenxa nje yethumba kuphela? Kungenzeka kwakuyiwo umdlavuza,wawubizwa ngelinye igama langaleso sikhathi.

 

   Lapho uJesu esemhlabeni, welapha zonke izifo ezazilethwa kuYe.Uhlamvu oluthi “zonke “lusho ukuthi uJesu Kristu unamava obu Nkulunkulu.Ungu Nkulunkulu.Lento isho ukuthi nesifo somdlavuza uyaselapha.Umdlavuza unjengazo zonke izifo. Ungumphumela wesiqalekiso sesono emhlabeni. 

Genesis 3:17

Wayesethi ku-Adamu: “Njengokuba ulalele izwi lomkakho, wadla kulowo muthi engakuyala ngawo ukuthi ungadli kuwo, ngalokho umhlabathi uqalekisiwe ngenxa yakho. Uyakudla kuwo ngokukhathazeka zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakho.

  siyafunda, “Umhlabathi uqalekisiwe ngenxa yakho.”  Igama elihunyushwe ngokuthi “umhlabathi” lihunyushwa kangcono ngokuthi “umhlaba.”  Umhlaba uqalekisiwe ngenxa yesono futhi bonke abantu bayafa—sonke sibuyela othulini—futhi indlela yokufa ingase ibangelwe izifo eziwumphumela wemvelo wesiqalekiso emhlabeni.  Izifo azisona “isijeziso.”  Ziwumphumela wokuphila ezweni eliwile naphezu komhlaba oqalekisiweyo, futhi amakholwa nabangakholwa ngokufanayo baba nomdlavuza nezinye izifo eziholela ekufeni.  Kudingeka sikhumbule ukuthi, ekuphileni kwekholwa, uNkulunkulu “usebenzelana konke kube ngokuhle” ( Roma 8:28 )—futhi “zonke izinto” zihlanganisa umdlavuza.

 

 Okumangalisayo ukuthi, nakuba kule mpilo emhlabeni oqalekisiweyo sibhekene nezifo ezinjengomdlavuza, sinethemba.  IHubo 103 linendima emangalisayo esinikeza isiqinisekiso esiqinisekayo sokuthi izinkinga zaleli zwe zizophela.  IHubo 103:1–4 lithi, “Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami;  konke okuphakathi kwami ​​makubonge igama lakhe elingcwele.  Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami, ungakhohlwa imisebenzi yakhe yonke yomusa, othethelela zonke izono zakho, owelapha zonke izifo zakho, okhulula ukuphila kwakho egodini, akuthwese umqhele wothando nesihawu.”

 

 Ingabe lesi siqephu sisho ukuthi siqinisekisiwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzosiphulukisa umdlavuza noma ezinye izifo kule mpilo?  Cha, lokho akuyona incazelo yalesi siqephu.  Kunalokho, uNkulunkulu ofanayo osithethelela izono zethu ngelinye ilanga uyosiletha endaweni asilungiselele yona (Mathewu 25:34).  Ukuhlengwa Kwakhe kusivikela ekubhujisweni, khona-ke ngeke kusaba khona isiqalekiso nesifo nokufa kungasekho, futhi siyokwethweswa umqhele wobuhle nomusa waKhe phakade.  Ukunqoba kokugcina esiqalekisweni sesono sekuvele kungokwethu kuKristu.
