Thola i AppUJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“Ukwelapha Okujulile”
UJesu wazi okuthile le ndoda engakwazi—ukuthi inenkinga enkulu kunesimo sayo somzimba. UJesu uthi kuye: “Ngiyazazi izinkinga zakho. Ngikubonile ukuhlupheka kwakho. Ngizofika kulokho. Kodwa ngicela uqaphele ukuthi inkinga eyinhloko ekuphileni komuntu akukaze kube ukuhlupheka kwakhe; kuyisono sakhe.”
Uma impendulo kaJesu ikuphatha kabi, ngicela okungenani ucabange ngalokhu: Uma othile ethi kuwe, “Inkinga enkulu ekuphileni kwakho akukona okwenzeke kuwe, hhayi lokho abantu abakwenzile kuwe; inkinga yakho eyinhloko yindlela oye wasabela ngayo kulokho”—okuxakayo ukuthi lokho kunikeza amandla. Kungani? Ngoba awukwazi ukwenza okuningi ngalokho okwenzeke kuwe noma ngalokho abanye abantu abakwenzayo-kodwa ungenza okuthile ngawe. Lapho iBhayibheli likhuluma ngesono alibhekiseli nje ezintweni ezimbi esizenzayo. Akukhona nje ukuqamba amanga noma inkanuko noma noma ngabe ikuphi—ukuziba uNkulunkulu emhlabeni awenzile; kuwukuhlubuka kuye ngokuphila ngaphandle kokubhekisela kuye. Kuthi, "Ngizonquma kahle ukuthi ngiphila kanjani impilo yami." Futhi uJesu uthi leyo yinkinga yethu enkulu.
UJesu ubhekana nomuntu ofe uhlangothi ngenkinga yakhe enkulu ngokumqhubezela ekujuleni. UJesu uthi, “Ngokuza kimi ucele ukuba umzimba wakho kuphela uphulukiswe, awushoni ngokwanele. Ukudelile ukujula kokulangazelela kwakho, nokulangazelela kwenhliziyo yakho.” Wonke umuntu okhubazekile ngokwemvelo ufuna ukuhamba ngawo wonke umthambo womzimba wakhe. Kodwa ngokuqinisekile lendoda yayizowaphumuza wonke amathemba ayo ethubeni lokuphinde ahambe. Enhliziyweni yakhe ucishe athi, “Ukube nje bengingaphinde ngihambe, ngabe sengimiselwe ukuphila. Angisoze ngangajabuli, angisoze ngakhononda. Ukube nje bengikwazi ukuhamba, konke bekuzolunga.” Futhi uJesu uthi, “Ndodana yami, uyaphazama.” Lokho kungase kuzwakale kunzima, kodwa kuyiqiniso elijulile. UJesu uthi, “Lapho ngiphulukisa umzimba wakho, uma ngikwenza lokho kuphela, uyozizwa ungeke uphinde ujabule. Kodwa linda izinyanga ezimbili, izinyanga ezine—injabulo ngeke ihlale. Izimpande zokunganeliseki kwenhliziyo yomuntu ziyajula.”
Kungani ukuthethelelwa kwakuyisidingo esikhulu sofebe? Kungani kuyisidingo sethu esijulile? Yiziphi ezinye “izidingo” esizizwa zijulile kunesidingo sethu sokuthethelelwa?
