Impilo Engcwele Endaweni Engangcwele

Ingelosi yathi kuye: “Ungesabi, Mariya, ngokuba ufumene umusa kuNkulunkulu!” ( Luka 1:30)

Uma uJesu ezalwa namuhla, ucabanga ukuthi ubeyovela kumuphi umuzi? Mhlawumbe iJerusalema, iRoma, iLandani, iParisi, noma i-New York yayingafika engqondweni. Ngeke silindele ukuthi uJesu aqhamuke ku-Button willow noma ku-Pumpkin Patch. Noma kunganjani ngalokhu? Ujesu waseLas Vegas. Lokho kunencazelo engeyinhle, akunjalo?

Lapho abantu bosuku lukaJesu bembiza ngokuthi “uJesu waseNazaretha,” kwabonakala ngaleyo ndlela. Kube nomqondo ongemuhle. Nokho kuleyondawo engamhloniphi uNkulunkulu kwakuhlala intokazi eyayimesaba uNkulunkulu uMariya, eyabonisa ukuthi ungaphila ukuphila okungcwele endaweni engcolile.
Encwadini yakhe yesibili, uPetru wachaza umphumela wezwe kumakholwa amabili. Bobabili babehlala emasikweni amabi, nokho omunye wachuma kuyilapho omunye engaphumelelanga.

Okokuqala kwakukhona uNowa. Izinto zazonakele kakhulu ngesikhathi esaphila kangangokuthi uNkulunkulu wazisola ngokuthi wayedale umuntu futhi ekulungele ukwahlulela umhlaba. Nokho phakathi nalesi sikhathi sobumnyama uNowa “wathola umusa kuJehova” ( Genesise 6:8) ngoba wahamba noNkulunkulu. Wayengumuntu omesabayo uNkulunkulu owayehlala endaweni engamesabi uNkulunkulu, nokho akazange ayekethise.

Kwakukhona uLoti, owayehlala eSodoma naseGomora. Ngokungafani noNowa, uLoti wayekhathele. Akazange avume okwenziwa abantu, kodwa akenzanga lutho ukukushintsha. UmBhalo uthi wayehlala phakathi kwabo, ehlupha umphefumulo wakhe olungileyo nsuku zonke ngalokho akubonayo nakuzwayo ngezenzo zabo ezingekho emthethweni nezimbi. Waphila ukuphila okuyekethisa. Kwathi lapho ingelosi kaJehova ifika ukumkhulula eSodoma, yasuka ngokuthandabuza.

Iyiphi kula madoda ozihlanganisa nayo: uNowa noma uLoti? Noma uma sikubeka ngenye indlela, ushintsha isiko, noma isiko liyakushintsha?

Umusho kafushane: Ingabe uphila impilo engcwele endaweni engengcwele?
