“Inkosi Ebethelwe”

Lapho umpristi omkhulu wambuza wathi: “Wena unguKristu, iNdodana yoBusisekileyo na? UJesu wathi: “Nginguye.” Ngokuphendula ngendlela aphendula ngayo, uJesu uthi: “Ngizakuza emhlabeni ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu futhi ngahlulele umhlaba wonke.” Kuyisitatimende esimangalisayo. Kuyisimangalo kunkulunkulu.

Kuzo zonke izinto uJesu ayengase azisho—futhi kunemibhalo eminingi, izihloko, izithombe, izingathekiso nezindinyana zemiBhalo YesiHebheru ayengazisebenzisa ukuze azitshele ukuthi ungubani—usho ngokuqondile ukuthi ungumahluleli. Ngokukhetha kwakhe umbhalo, uJesu usiphoqa ngamabomu ukuthi sibone indida. Kube khona ukuhlehla okukhulu. Yena ungumahluleli emhlabeni wonke, wahlulelwa yizwe. Kufanele abe sesihlalweni sokwahlulela, futhi thina kufanele sibe sethekwini, siboshwe ngamaketanga. Konke kubheke phansi.

Futhi ngokushesha nje lapho uJesu ethi ungumahluleli, ngokushesha nje lapho ethi uNkulunkulu, impendulo iyaqhuma. UMarku uyabhala:

“Nginguye,” kusho uJesu. “Futhi niyobona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene soMninimandla futhi iza ngamafu ezulu.” Umpristi omkhulu waklebhula izingubo zakhe. “Sibafunelani abanye ofakazi na?” ebuza. Nikuzwile ukuhlambalaza; Ucabangani?" Bamlahla bonke ngokuthi ufanele ukufa. Khona-ke abanye baqala ukumkhafulela; bamvala amehlo, bamshaya ngezibhakela, bathi: “Profetha!” Onogada bamthatha bamshaya.
( NgokukaMarku 14:62-65)

Umpristi ophakeme uklebhula ezakhe izingubo, isibonakaliso sokucasuka okukhulu, ukwesaba nosizi olukhulu. Bese kuthi sonke isivivinyo sibe sibi. Eqinisweni akusesona isivivinyo; isiphithiphithi. Abahluleli namajaji aqala ukumkhafulela futhi amshaye. Maphakathi nokuqulwa kwecala, bathuka kwaphela nasozwaneni. Ngokushesha ulahlwa yicala lokuhlambalaza futhi wagwetshwa njengofanelwe ukufa.

Nakuba mina nawe singeke ngokoqobo sikhafule ebusweni bukaJesu, sisengakwazi ukumklolodela futhi simlahle. Yiziphi izindlela esithambekele kuzo ekwenqabeni uJesu njengoNkulunkulu?
