UJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“Ukugomela Okungafanele”
“Yebo, Nkosi,” kuphendula yena, “kodwa nezinja eziphansi kwetafula zidla imvuthuluka yabantwana.” Wayesethi kuye: “Ngenxa yempendulo enjalo ungahamba; idemoni liphumile endodakazini yakho. Waya ekhaya wathola ingane yakhe ilele embhedeni, idemoni seliphumile.
( Marku 7:28-30 )
Ngamanye amazwi, uthi, "Yebo, Nkosi, kodwa imidlwane idla kulelotafula futhi, futhi ngilapha ngeyami." UJesu wamxoxela umfanekiso amnikeze kuwo inhlanganisela yenselele nesicelo, futhi uyayithola. Uphendula inselele: “Kulungile, ngiyaqonda. Angisiye owakwa-Israyeli, angimkhonzi uNkulunkulu okhonzwa ngama-Israyeli. Ngakho-ke, anginayo indawo etafuleni. Ngiyakwamukela lokho.”
Akumangalisi yini lokhu? Akacasuki; akami emalungelweni akhe. Uthi, “Kulungile. Ngingase ngingabi nayo indawo etafuleni—kodwa kukhona okungaphezu kokwanele kulelo tafula lawo wonke umuntu emhlabeni, futhi ngiyayidinga eyami manje.” Ubambana noJesu ngendlela enenhlonipho kakhulu futhi ngeke avume. Ngiyayithanda into eyenziwa yilo wesifazane.
Emasikweni aseNtshonalanga asinayo into efana nalolu hlobo lokugomela. Sinesiqinisekiso samalungelo ethu kuphela. Asazi ukuthi kumele silwe kanjani ngaphandle uma silwela amalungelo ethu, simi esithunzini nasebuhleni bethu futhi sithi, “Yilokhu engikukweletayo.” Kodwa lona wesifazane akakwenzi nhlobo lokho. Lokhu ukugomela okungenasizathu, into esingayazi kancane ngayo. Akasho ukuthi, “Nkosi, nginike okungifaneleyo ngenxa yokulunga kwami.” Uthi, "Nginike lokho okungafaneleki ngenxa yobuhle bakho-futhi ngiyakudinga manje." Uyabona ukuthi kumangalisa kangakanani ukuthi uyakuqaphela futhi amukele kokubili inselele kanye nomnikelo ofihliwe ngaphakathi kwayo?
Ukuhunyushwa okuhle kwempendulo kaJesu yorabi kuye kungaba “Impendulo enjalo!” Ezinye izinguqulo zinoJesu ethi “Impendulo emangalisayo, impendulo emangalisayo.” Ngakho-ke ukunxusa kwakhe kuphendulwa futhi indodakazi yakhe yaphulukiswa.
Ukholo lowesifazane weZizwe luyoyithinta kanjani indlela osondela ngayo kuNkulunkulu?
