Ukuqala Ubudlelwane NoYesuIsampulu

"Unikezelo"

Enye yeenkalo eziphawulekayo zokholo lobuKristu kukuba olu lwalamano noYesu lusoloko luyinto enikelwayo. Ayisoze inyanzeliswe.

Ngenye imini umfana wabaleka waya kuYesu, wabuza ukuba yintoni ekufuneka “ayenze” ukuze adle ilifa lobomi obungunaphakade (UMarko 10:17–22). Njengoko uYesu wayedla ngokwenza, wayikhokela incoko ukuze le ndoda izibone kakuhle.

Ngoko uYesu akazange ambuze nokumbuza lo mntu unyanisekileyo. Waqalisa nje ukudwelisa imithetho yamaYuda, waza umfana waphendula wathi, “Ewe, ewe, ndiyigcinile yonke loo mithetho!” Kodwa okwenzekayo emva koko yeyona nto ibangela umdla. UMarko 10:21 uthi, “uYesu wamjonga waza wamthanda.”

UYesu wakhangela. Akazange ashumayele intshumayelo. Akazange akhombe ngeminwe. Endaweni yoko, Wajonga ngqo kulo mfana waza wajolisa ingqwalasela epheleleyo yentliziyo nengqondo yakhe kulo mntu, emmema ukuba abenobudlelwane naye.

UYesu wathanda.Kwakusekumjongeni apho uthando lwalukhula khona. Kwakungekho sekugcinweni okungqongqo kwemigaqo kwalomfana okanye kwizenzo ezimangalisayo. UYesu wamjonga waza wamthanda ngenxa nje yokuba enguye.

Kucacile ukuba lo mfana wayethanda ingcamango ngoYesu kwaye wayefuna ukwenza ukhetho olulungileyo. Kodwa xa uYesu wenza isithembiso solwalamano, wakwenza oko ethetha ngokuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo: “Hamba uye kuthengisa ngeempahla zakho, uphe amahlwempu, woba nobutyebi ke emazulwini. Uze ke, undilandele” ( UMateyu 19:21).

Xa uYesu wajonga waza wayithanda le ndoda, Wayeyazi kakuhle into awayedinga ukuba ayibuze ukuze ayityhile intliziyo yalendoda yokwenene. Ngokugxininisa umba wezinto eziphathekayo, uYesu wawuchaza kanye owona mbandela waloo mntu.

Ngoko uYesu wamjonga, wamthanda waza wabeka phambi kwakhe ukhetho lobuhlobo. Kodwa umfana wahamba. Lo ngummangaliso kaThixo. UThixo ubambe onke amandla kubudlelwane bakhe nomntu ngamnye, kodwa ngokumangalisayo, usinika inkululeko yokuthi ewe okanye hayi kuye.

Ngamanye amaxesha abantu baye bathi, “Ukuba uThixo ufuna sonke sibe nobudlelwane Naye, kutheni engakhange asilungiselele nje ukuba sibe nobudlelwane naye?” Kodwa uthando alunakumiselwa kwangaphambili. Ukuba besinyanzelwa ukuba sithi ewe kuYesu, sinyanzelwe ukuba sibe ngamaKristu, oku bekuya kungqubana nesimilo sikaThixo nomxholo oyintloko wobuKristu—ngokukodwa isithembiso sikaYesu sisekelwe ethandweni, olona hlobo lunyulu lothando.
