Endaweni Yethu: Iminikelo Yokuzila Kusukela Ngesikhathi SomusaIsampula

Indaba enkulu

Imibhoshongo emihle yaseGibhithe empeleni yakhiwe njengendawo yokungcwaba oFaro: izidumbu zika-Djoser, uKhufu, noKhafra, ezacwiliswa ngokucophelela futhi zasongwa, zangcwatshwa lapho. Nokho, amagumbi okungcwaba namuhla awanalutho. UJesu Kristu wabulawa njengesigebengu esibi kunazo zonke, kodwa wangcwatshwa njengenkosana ethempelini elalisanda kuqoshwa. I-vault yakhe ayinalutho futhi, kodwa ngesizathu esihluke ngokuphelele. Abaphangi bamathuna baphanga amathuna oFaro. UJesu waphuma ethuneni lakhe ephila futhi.

Ungalindela ukuthi abangewona amaKristu bangayikholelwa indaba yama-Easter. Kodwa kungase kukumangaze ukwazi ukuthi bangaki abafundisi abangamaKristu abamatasatasa besakaza umbono wokuthi ukuvuka kukaKristu kuhilela okuthile ngaphandle kokuvuselelwa kwesidumbu sakhe. Eqinisweni, uMsindisi wethu wayefile ngempela. Akukho ukushaya kwenhliziyo. Akukho ukuphefumula. Awekho amaza obuchopho. Eqinisweni, uMsindisi wethu manje useyaphila ngempela.

Lokhu kuyinto enkulu. Uvuko lukaJesu Kristu lomzimba luwuphawu lukaBaba lwasobala lokugunyaza kuwo wonke umsebenzi weNdodana yakhe. “Uma uKristu engavuswanga, ukushumayela kwethu kuyize nokukholwa kwenu” (1 Korinte 15:14). Uma umzimba kaKristu usafile, nisesezonweni zenu. Icala lakho alikasuswa. Umzimba wakho awusoze wasuka ethuneni lawo.

Kodwa uKristu uvusiwe. Kanjalo namathemba ethu. “Ngikholelwa ovukweni lomzimba,” sisho eSivumweni Sokholo Sabaphostoli. Uyakukholwa lokho? Abakwenzayo bathethelelwe futhi kabafi.
