Ukuzalwa Ngokutsha—Kubaluleke Kangakanani?

KULOO NCOKO yakhe noNikodemo, uYesu wakwenza kwacaca ukubaluleka kokuzalwa ngokutsha okanye ukuzalwa kwakhona. Wayenza njani loo nto?

Phawula indlela uYesu akugxininisa ngayo kuNikodemo ukuzalwa ngokutsha. Wathi: “Ngaphandle kokuba nabani na azalwe kwakhona, akanakububona ubukumkani bukaThixo.” (Yohane 3:3) Ibinzana elithi “ngaphandle kokuba” nelithi “akanakububona” agxininisa ukubaluleka kokuzalwa ngokutsha. Singayizekelisa ngale ndlela le nto: Ukuba umntu uthi, “Imini ayinakuze ikhanye lingekho ilanga,” uthetha ukuba ukuze kuthiwe kusemini kunyanzelekile ukuba kubekho ilanga. Ngendlela efanayo noYesu wathi kunyanzelekile ukuba uzalwe ngokutsha ukuze ‘ububone uBukumkani bukaThixo.’

Ngokungathi ufuna ukususa nawaphi na amathandabuzo, uYesu waleka umsundulo wathi: “Nimele nizalwe kwakhona.” (Yohane 3:7) Kuyacaca ke ukuba ngokutsho kukaYesu, ukuzalwa ngokutsha ngundoqo—yaye kunyanzelekile—ukuze umntu ‘angene eBukumkanini bukaThixo.’—Yohane 3:5.

AmaKristu ke ngoko afanele aqiniseke ukuba akuqonda kakuhle into okuyiyo ukuzalwa ngokutsha ekubeni uYesu wakugqala kubaluleke ngolo hlobo. Ngokomzekelo, ngaba ucinga ukuba umKristu uyazikhethela ngokwakhe ukuba ufuna ukuzalwa ngokutsha?
