KwabaseKorinte bokuqala isahluko Sesikhombisa uPawula uxoxa ngokuthi ekusondeleni komshado, amadoda nabafazi bangazanelisa kanjani nokuthi ukuvumelana kuyisimiso esibaluleke kakhulu sobuhlobo obungokomzimba obunelisayo. Njengoba uMthetho Wegolide usho, 'Kukho konke, yenza kwabanye njengoba uthanda ukuba benze kuwe.' Isibonelo sebhayibheli somshado nguKristu kanye neBandla. Singaba nalolo hlobo lothando kuphela ngokuba nobudlelwane obubalulekile noJesu futhi sivumele uMoya wakhe ukuba uthande ngathi.

UNkulunkulu wayehlose ucansi ngezinjongo eziningi. Enye yezinjongo zokuqala ukuzala, kodwa futhi kuhloswe ukuba kube indlela yokukhuluma kwabashadile. Ngeshwa, lokho uNkulunkulu akwenza ngenjongo yokubonisa injabulo yobunye ngokuvamile kuba esinye sezithiyo ezinkulu kakhulu ebunyeni bethu. IZwi likaNkulunkulu lisibonisa ukuthi isimo sethu sengqondo nalokho esikulindele ngobulili kufanele kube yini esimeni esimiswe uNkulunkulu somshado nomndeni; ukuletha ukwaneliseka nenjabulo kubo bobabili indoda nomfazi.

IBhayibheli lisinika izimpendulo ukuze lisisize ekuqondeni indima yethu esiyinikwe uNkulunkulu, kodwa umshikashika wokuhlukanisa ekhaya lamaKristu kufanele usekelwe eziphiweni zethu ezingokwemvelo, emathalenteni naseziphiweni zethu ezingokomoya. Uma izimpilo zethu kanye nemizi yethu yakhelwe kuJesu, futhi siqonda abashade nathi, kuyogcina izinkinga ezingabhidlizi umshado wethu. UNkulunkulu wadala ubulili ngenjongo yokuzala. UNkulunkulu wayehlose nokuba ukusondelana kube ukubonakaliswa kothando nokubonakalisa okujabulisayo kobunye.

Kufanele siqonde ukuhluka kwabalingani bethu ukuze sikwazi ukuxhumana ezingeni elijulile. Kunemibuzo yeBhayibheli eyisishiyagalombili okufanele siyibuze: ‘Uphi?’, ‘Ubani okutshelile?’, ‘Ingabe udlile emthini owenqatshelwe?’, ‘Wenzeni? 'Uphumaphi?' nokuthi 'Uyaphi?', 'Ungubani?' nokuthi 'Yini ngempela oyifunayo?' Ngamanye amazwi, Ufuna ukuba ngubani, kuphi futhi yini uNkulunkulu akuhlelele ukuba ube yiyo?

Ukuqonda abalingani bethu kuyisixhumanisi esihlinzeka ngokukhula kobudlelwane bethu nobunye. Ukubaluleka nokufaneleka kowesilisa noma owesifazane kusekelwe emsebenzini wabo kanye nendima yabo njengoba uNkulunkulu ebadalile. Umkhuleko omkhulu wemishado yethu wenziwa nguFrancis wase-Assisi: "Nkosi ngenze ngibe ithuluzi lokuthula kwakho, ngiphe ukuba ngingathandi kakhulu ukududuzwa, ngiqonde njengokuqonda, ukuthandwa njengokuthanda."

Uthando luwukubonakalisa okukhulu ubunye uNkulunkulu ayebuhlosile lapho ethi, Laba ababili bayoba nyamanye.” Enye inkinga enkulu emshadweni ubugovu. Lapho sifunda ukuphatha abalingani bethu ngokungenabugovu, ukubeka izidingo zomlingani wethu kuqala, siqala ukuthanda njengoJesu. Uthando lukaNkulunkulu luchazwe kahle kwabaseKorinte wokuqala isahluko seshumi nantathu futhi lusibonisa indlela okufanele sibathande ngayo abanye. Ngothando lwe-agape, umshado ungagcwaliseka ngempela nakho konke uNkulunkulu ayehlose ukuba kube yikho.

Ukufanelana kuwubufakazi bobunye uNkulunkulu ayenzele indoda nomfazi. Ukufanelana kuhlanganisa: ubuhlobo bethu bomzimba,amanani, ukuvuthwa ngokomoya, izindaba zokuziphatha, indlela esisebenzisa ngayo isikhathi nemali, izindaba zezingane, nazo zonke ezinye izici zokuphila ndawonye. Ukuhambisana kwakho ngokomoya kuyisisekelo ekuchazeni izindima nezibopho onazo. Ukuze silondoloze ukufanelana, kumele samukele amandla nobuthakathaka bomlingani wethu womshado. IBhayibheli lisinika iziqondiso eziningana mayelana nendlela amadoda nabafazi okufanele bahlobane ngayo.

Ukukhulumisana okuhle kuyithuluzi elisisiza ukuba silondoloze futhi siqinise indoda nomkayo ukuze bathuthukise ubunye babo. Njengoba nje silondoloza futhi sihlakulela ubuhlobo bethu noKristu ngokukhuluma Naye ngomthandazo nokulalela izwi Lakhe, abantu abamuntumunye abashadile kumele ilondoloze futhi ihlakulele ubuhlobo bayo ngamunye ngamunye. Ukukhulumisana kufana nokukhanyisa isibani ebuhlotsheni bethu, siveze izinto ezingalimaza ubunye futhi siveze izinto ezingasisiza ukuba sisondelane.

Umklamo kaNkulunkulu womndeni kanye nomshado unika ubuhlobo bethu injongo enhle nephusile futhi ufeza izinhlelo Zakhe ngomhlaba. Embhalweni ongcwele kukhona umkhakha wokuhlinzeka ngomshado; kufanele kube ubuhlobo obuhlala njalo nobukhethekile, kodwa futhi bufakwe ngomqondo wokuthi buhlanganisa zonke izingxenye zempilo yendoda nomfazi: imimoya, izingqondo, izinhliziyo, nemizimba yabo. Lapho abantu abamuntumunye bebumbene, futhi iphila kuloluhlobo lobunye, ibonisa injongo kaNkulunkulu ngomshado.

Lolu wucwaningo lwezifundo ezakhelwe abantu abamuntumunye abashadile noma labo abahlela ukushada maduze. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa isithombe sothando lweNkosi uJesu Kristu eBandleni Lakhe ukubonisa uthando indoda okufanele ibe nalo kumkayo. Sizofunda izixhumanisi zomshado: isisekelo esingokomoya, ithuluzi lokuxhumana, ukufanelana, uthando - amandla okuba munye, ukuqonda, nokuhlangana kobulili kwabantu abamuntumunye abajabulile emshadweni, kube ukubonakalisa okujabulisayo kobunye.
