Uhlelo Lwamahhala Lokufunda nokuthandaza okuhlobene ne NgokukaMathewu 27:46

Njengabalandeli bakaKristu, sonke sikhetha isipiliyoni esiqongweni sezintaba okholweni lwethu. Kodwa, ngokuvamile kusezigodini zomoya lapho sifunda khona futhi sikhule, nalapho ukholo lwethu lukhula khona. Ngemva kokufunda lolu Hlelo lwezinsuku ezingu-5, uzoba nokuqonda ukuphatha lezi zikhathi zobumnyama obungokomoya ngomusa nethemba futhi ukhuthazwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenza kuzo ngisho noma ungazizwa.

Isonto lokugcina ekuphileni kukaJesu kwakungelona isonto elivamile. Kwakuyisikhathi sokuvalelisa okubabayo, ukuphana okukhulu, ukukhaphela okunonya nemithandazo eyazamazamisa izulu. Okuhlangenwe nakho kuleli sonto, kusukela ngeSonto lePalm kuya oVukweni oluyisimangaliso, njengoba sifunda ukulandisa kweBhayibheli ndawonye. Sizojabula kanye nezixuku ezitaladini zaseJerusalema, simemeze ngokuthukuthela kuJudas namasosha amaRoma, sikhale nabesifazane esiphambanweni, futhi sigubhe njengoba kusa ngePhasika!

Inkulu kakhulu indaba yokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu. Siyozama ukuwabheka amazwi awakhulumayo uJesu lapho elenga esiphambanweni esifela. La mazwi aqondene nathi, ngalokho sidinga ukusondela kuwona ngokuthobeka nangokukholwa.

Ake sehlise ijubane kuleli Sonto Elingcwele futhi sifunde ngezinsukwini zokugcina zikaKristu emhlabeni. Usuku ngalunye sizothola izifundo noma izipho athatha isikhathi ukuzinikeza. Uyasidinga isikhumbuzo esisha salokho okwakubaluleke kakhulu kuKristu—ukuthi uyabathanda abantu Bakhe futhi umlandele? Yini Angathanda ukukufundisa yona kuleli sonto Elingcwele?

Hamba umgwaqo ohlukile oholela ePhasikeni kulo nyaka. Qala uhambo lwakho nezithunywa zevangeli zomhlaba wonke eMpumalanga Ephakathi futhi uzulazule ezindaweni ezibukwayo nemisindo ezokusiza ukuba ujabulele iPhasika ngombono omusha. Yizwa kabusha ukuthi kungani uJesu eze kulo mhlaba--ukuzosindisa imiphefumulo yesintu.

Umbhali odumile kanye nomfundisi odumile uThimothi Keller we-New York Times uhlola amandla omkhuleko, nokuthi abafundi bangenza kanjani imithandazo eyengeziwe yomuntu siqu nabanamandla, benza uxhumano olujulile noNkulunkulu.
