UJESU INKOSI: Inkonzo yePhasikal Ngo Timothy KellerIsampula
“Isidlo Nomphakathi”
Khumbula lokho uJesu akusho lapho ethatha indebe:
Wayesethatha inkomishi, wabonga, wabanika, baphuza kuyo bonke. “Lokhu kuyigazi lami lesivumelwano elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi,” esho kubo. “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angisayikuphuza okwesithelo somvini, kuze kufike lolo suku engiyakusiphuza ngalo sisha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
( Marku 14:23-25 )
Amazwi kaJesu asho ukuthi ngenxa yomhlatshelo wakhe obambele kukhona manje isivumelwano esisha phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nathi. Futhi isisekelo salobu buhlobo siyigazi likaJesu ngokwakhe: “igazi lami lesivumelwano.” Lapho ememezela ukuthi ngeke adle noma aphuze aze asihlangabeze embusweni kaNkulunkulu, uJesu uthembisa ukuthi uzibophezele ngokuphelele kithi: “Ngiyakuningenisa ezingalweni zikaBaba. Ngizokuletha edilini leNkosi.” UJesu uvame ukufanisa umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokuhlala edilini elikhulu. KuMathewu 8, uJesu uthi, “Ngithi kini: Abaningi bayakuza bevela empumalanga nasentshonalanga, bahlale ezindaweni zabo emkhosini . . . embusweni wezulu.” UJesu uthembisa ukuthi sizoba naye edilini lombuso.
Ngalezi zenzo ezilula zokuphakamisa isinkwa newayini, ngamazwi alula athi “Lokhu kungumzimba wami . . . lokhu kuyigazi lami,” uJesu usho ukuthi konke ukukhululwa kwangaphambili, imihlatshelo yangaphambili, amawundlu ePhasika, yayikhomba kuye. Njengoba nje iPhasika lokuqala laligujwa ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu ahlenge ama-Israyeli ebugqilini ngegazi lamawundlu, lesi sidlo sePhasika sadliwa ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu ahlenge izwe esonweni nasekufeni ngegazi likaJesu.
Yiziphi ezinye zezinto okudingeka zenzeke enhliziyweni nasengqondweni yakho ukuze ukwazi ukuthatha ngobuqotho lokho uJesu akunikezayo?
