Thola i AppUJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
"Ebizwe ngeNkosi"
Ivangeli alisona iseluleko: Yizindaba ezinhle ukuthi awudingi ukuzuza indlela yakho eya kuNkulunkulu; UJesu usekwenzele kona. Futhi kuyisipho osithola ngomusa ongaphelele-ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ongasifanele neze. Uma uthatha leso sipho futhi ulokhu ubambelele kuso, ubizo lukaJesu ngeke lukudonsele ekushisekeleni noma ekulinganiseleni. Uyoba nomdlandla wokwenza uJesu umgomo wakho ophelele kanye nokubalulekile kwakho, ukuzungeza eduze kwakhe; kodwa uma uhlangana nomuntu onesethi ehlukile yezinto ezibalulekile, ukholo oluhlukile, ngeke ucabange ukuthi ungaphansi kwakho. Empeleni uzofuna ukubasebenzela kunokuba ubacindezele.
Kungani? Ngoba ivangeli alikona ukukhetha ukulandela izeluleko, limayelana nokubizelwa ukulandela iNkosi. Hhayi nje umuntu onamandla negunya lokukutshela okufanele kwenziwe—kodwa othile onamandla negunya lokwenza lokho okufanele kwenziwe, bese ekunikeza njengezindaba ezinhle.
Silubonaphi lolo hlobo lwegunya? Ubhapathizo lukaJesu kakade seluhanjelwe yizibonakaliso ezingaphezu kwemvelo ezimemezela igunya lakhe laphezulu. Khona-ke sibona oSimoni, u-Andreya, uJakobe, noJohane belandela uJesu ngaphandle kokulibala—ngakho ukubiza kwakhe ngokwako kunegunya. UMarku uyaqhubeka nokwakhela phezu kwalesi sihloko:
“Bafika eKapernawume, kwathi sekufikile isabatha, uJesu wangena esinagogeni, waqala ukufundisa. Abantu bamangala ngokufundisa kwakhe, ngokuba wayebafundisa njengonegunya, kungenjengabafundisi bomthetho.
(Ngokuka Marku 1:21-22)
UMarku usebenzisa igama elithi igunya okokuqala ngqa; leli gama ngokwezwi lisho “okuphuma ezintweni zakuqala.” Livela empandeni efanayo neyegama elithi umbhali. UMarku usho ukuthi uJesu wafundisa ngempilo yokuqala kunamandla avela kuye.
Impilo yakho ibingabukeka futhi ibe njani uma ungazinikela ngokugcwele kule Nkosi ephelele? Impilo yakho yomsebenzi? Uthanda impilo? Ukuphila komndeni? Impilo yezezimali? Impilo yomphakathi?
