Thola i AppUJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“UJesu Kwakufanele Afe”
Ngokusebenzisa igama elithi kumelwe, uJesu ubonisa ukuthi uhlela ukufa—ukwenza ngokuzithandela. Akagcini nje ngokubikezela ukuthi kuzokwenzeka. Yilokhu okungenzeka kumcasula kakhulu uPetru. Kunye ukuthi uJesu uthi, “Ngiyakulwa, ngihlulwe,” futhi omunye athi, “Ngalokho ngizile; Ngihlose ukufa!” Lokho akuchazeki nhlobo kuPetru.
Kungakho ngomzuzu uJesu esho lokhu, uPetru eqala “ukumkhuza”. Lesi isenzo esisetshenziswa kwenye indawo lapho kuchaza lokho uJesu akwenza kumademoni. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uPetru ulahla uJesu ngolimi olunamandla. Kungani uPetru ehlehlisiwe kangaka, aze ajike uJesu ngale ndlela ngemva nje kokumchaza njengoMesiya? Edolweni likanina uPetru wayehlale etshelwa ukuthi lapho uMesiya efika uzonqoba ububi nokungalungi ngokungena esihlalweni sobukhosi. Kodwa nangu uJesu ethi, “Yebo, nginguMesiya, iNkosi, kodwa angizanga ukuzophila kodwa ukufa. Angizile ukuzothatha amandla kodwa ngizowalahla; angizile ukuzobusa kodwa ukukhonza. Futhi ngaleyo ndlela ngizonqoba ububi futhi ngilungise konke kahle. "
UJesu akashongo nje ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu izohlupheka; wathi iNdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuhlupheka. Leli gama libaluleke kakhulu kangangokuthi lisetshenziswe kabili: “INdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuhlupheka ngokuningi futhi . . . kumele abulawe.” Igama kumele liguqule futhi lilawule umusho wonke, futhi lokho kusho ukuthi yonke into kulolu hlu iyisidingo. UJesu kufanele ahlupheke, anqatshwe, abulawe, avuswe. Leli ngelinye lamagama abaluleke kakhulu endabeni yomhlaba, futhi igama elisabekayo. Lokho uJesu akusho kwakungekona nje ukuthi “ngize ukufa” kodwa “kufanele ngife. Kudingeka ngempela ukuthi ngife. Umhlaba awunakwenziwa musha, kanye nempilo yakho, ngaphandle kokuthi ngife.” Kungani kwakuyodingeka ngempela ukuba uJesu afe?
UPetru wasithola sinzima isidingo sokufa kukaJesu. Kungani kwakunzima kangaka kuye—nakithi—ukwamukela?
