Qala Lapha | Izinyathelo Zokuqala NoJesuIsampula

NgokukaMarku 12-13 | Ngothando lukaNkulunkulu

Siyanemukela futhi nonke. Namuhla sithatha izihloko ezimbili ezihluke kakhulu: ukuzenzisa benkolo nothando olungenamibandela. Umehluko phakathi kwalokho kokubili kusamangalisa nanamuhla njengoba kwakunjalo. Ukuzenzisa kusixosha enkolweni ngokunengeka - nokho uthando lukaNkulunkulu oluyisimangaliso lusibizela emuva. Kodwa singakuhlanganisa kanjani ukuhlukana okunjalo? 

Lapha evangelini likaMarku, yilokhu kwehlukana okuletha indaba yethu ngokushesha ekhanda. Sekuyisonto lonke silandela indaba kaJesu, kodwa kubafundi, sekudlule iminyaka emithathu, futhi uMarku 12 usiletha evikini lokugcina lokuphila kukaJesu. Isimo saseJerusalema, futhi izixuku ezinkulu zibuthene zivela kuwo wonke u-Israyeli ukuze zizogubha umkhosi wePhasika.

Iphasika liwumkhosi ongokwenkolo, njengoba amaJuda ekhumbula indlela uNkulunkulu awakhulula ngayo ebugqilini futhi wawasindisa ekufeni ngegazi lewundlu. Okwamanje, yazi nje ukuthi umuzi ugcwele phama emkhosini, futhi wonke umuntu ukhuluma ngoJesu. Nokho imibono ngoJesu ihlukene kakhulu. Abaningi bayamangala ngezimangaliso nokufundisa kwakhe, kodwa abaholi benkolo bathukuthele. Babukela phansi ububele bukaJesu - abakwazi ukuqonda uthando lwakhe ngezoni. 

Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi abanye abantu babonakale bezinikele kangaka kuNkulunkulu kodwa bengenalo uthando? Bayawutadisha umthetho kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bageja iphuzu. Ujesu wababiza ngokuthi ngabazenzisi, behlonipha uNkulunkulu ngezindebe zabo kuyilapho izinhliziyo zabo zikude (NgokukaMarku 7:6). Lapho uJesu efika ekuqaleni kweviki, wathola ukuthi base beguqule iPhasika laba elinye ithuba lokuthatha imali kubantu. 

Kimi, ukungqubuzana lapha kuthatha ukuhlukana okujulile emisebenzini yobuKristu kuze kube namuhla. Ujesu wasiyala ukuba sithande. AmaKristu kumele aphawulwe ngothando. Nokho kaningi saziwa ngokuhlulela, nokuzenzisa okungenazwelo. Sifana nabo kanye labo uJesu abaphikisayo. Akufanele.

Ngokuqondene nabaholi benkolo, uJesu wadalula ukuhaha nokuzidla kwabo izikhathi eziningi, futhi manje bafuna indlela yokumbulala. Esahlukweni 12, babekela uJesu inselelo ngohide lwemibuzo. Bayalingabaza igunya likaJesu, futhi bazama ukumkhuba ngesici esithile esikhohlisayo somthetho kaNkulunkulu. Okuxakayo kukho konke lokhu ukuthi lamadoda ayezinikele kakhulu ezintweni ezincane zomthetho kaNkulunkulu ayegeja ingqikithi yalowo mthetho. 

Nokho, kwakukhona owayengafani nabanye. Bheka ivesi 28: 

"Kwafika omunye wabafundisi bomthetho, wabezwa bebuzana; ebona ukuthi uJesu ubebaphendule kahle, wambuza wathi: "Kuyo yonke imiyalo ngumuphi owona omkhulu na?"

Umbuzo omuhle. 

UJesu waphendula wathi, ‘Okubaluleke kakhulu yilokhu: Yizwa, Israyeli: Inkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi yinye, uthande iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho nangawo wonke amandla akho’” ( NgokukaMarku 12:29-30).

Ngakho-ke umyalo omkhulu kunayo yonke uqala ngesikhumbuzo sokuthi iNkosi yinye . Manje iBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi uBaba unguNkulunkulu, uJesu unguNkulunkulu, noMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu. Nokho bobathathu bamunye njengeNkosi eyodwa. Futhi umyalo uwukuthanda uNkulunkulu ngakho konke! jJesu uyaqhubeka:

Owesibili yilo: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Awukho umyalo omkhulu kunale" (NgokukaMarku 12:31).

Ngakho umthetho uhlanganiswa othandweni. Intando kaNkulunkulu ngathi ingaphezu kwencwadi yemithetho. Uthando: ukuthanda uNkulunkulu, ukuthanda abanye. Ivesi 32:

“ ‘Kuhle, mfundisi,’ yaphendula le ndoda. ‘Uqinisile’…”

Hawu. Olwandle lwabazenzisi, indoda eyodwa ibuza umbuzo wangempela, futhi ithatha impendulo enhliziyweni. Ubonisa ukuthobeka, futhi lapho uJesu ebona ukuhlakanipha kwalendoda, uthi kuyo: “Awukude nombuso kaNkulunkulu.”

Manje bheka ukugqama. Abazenzisi bakhuluma ngomthetho ngezinhliziyo zabo kude kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa lo muntu wasondela eduze embusweni kaNkulunkulu lapho eqonda ukuthi uthando luyinhliziyo yomthetho. Thanda uNkulunkulu futhi uthande nabanye. 

Uthando uJesu asibizela kulo luyinguquko. Thanda umakhelwane wethu, thanda izoni, thanda izitha zethu. Uthando olungenamibandela - ngomusa ongenangqondo nesihe esichichimayo. Imisebenzi yethu emikhulu kuNkulunkulu iyize futhi iyize uma singathandi ( 1 Korinte 13:1-3)

Futhi lapha sithola olunye uhlangothi endabeni yobuKristu. Abantu abangabonisi ukwahlulela, kodwa ububele. Abenza izenzo ezimangazayo zothando lokuzidela ongazicabanga - ukunakekela intandane nomfelokazi, okokugcina nabancishwe amathuba - kungakhathalekile uhlanga noma inkolo noma ubulili noma noma yini. Babeka izimpilo zabo phansi. Laba bantu bayangimangaza. Bavele… bathande. 

Ngithandazela ukuthi uthole isibusiso ukwazi abanye balabo bantu. Ngithandazela nakakhulu ukuthi sibe yilaba bantu. Futhi singalufunda kuphi lolu hlobo lothando emhlabeni? Qhubeka ulandele uJesu, futhi sizothola ngokushesha.
