UYAMENYWA

Namuhla, ungumamukeli wesimemo esikhulu kunazo zonke owake wasithola. Kunzima ukukukholwa? Kuyiqiniso! Ngithi yisimemo esikhulu lesi ngoba siphuma kumuntu ofaneleka ngokungenamkhawulo. Umuntu onikeza lesi simemo nguJesu Kristu. Isimemo sakhe esimangalisayo sitholakala kuMathewu 11:28 lapho uJesu ethi, “Zanini kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo, mina ngizakuniphumuza.”

Lesi simemo esabo “bonke abasebenzayo nabasindwayo.” Lokhu kubizwa akukhona okwabantu abazimele. Lokhu akusikho okwabazikhukhumezayo noma abazidlayo. Ngeshwa, abantu abaningi bayaziqhenya kakhulu ukuba bavume ukuthi bathwele kanzima. Abaqapheli ukuthi badinga usizo lwaphezulu. Ngakho, uJesu umema labo abakhandlekayo nabasindwayo. Igama elithi umsebenzilichaza imithwalo esizithwesa yona. Futhi inkulumo ethi osindwayo ibhekisela emithwalweni (imithetho engokomthetho) abanye abayibeka phezu kwethu (cf. NgokukaMathewu 23:4; Luka 11:46). 

UmJuda ongum-orthodox wayesindwa yinkolo yakhe. UmJuda kwakudingeka agcine yonke imiyalo engu-613 eshiwo eMthethweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakudingeka balandele imithetho neziqondiso eziningana ezishiwo emasikweni amaJuda. UmJuda wayephila ngaphansi kwenanela elithi “Ungenzi.” Kodwa iBhayibheli lithi  asisoze sasindiswa ngokulandela uMthetho (KwabaseGalathiya 2:16). 

Ingabe uthwele umthwalo onzima wesono necala (Amahubo 38:3-4)? Khona-ke, uJesu unikeza ukuphumula. KuMathewu 11:28, igama elithi ‘ukuphumula’ lisho insindiso. Ngeke ukhululwe emithwalweni yakho futhi uthole insindiso ngokuzama ukulandela uMthetho ngamandla akho noma ngokwenza imisebenzi emihle. Imisebenzi emihle iyisithelo sensindiso, hhayi impande yayo. UKristu wenza konke okudingeka kwenziwe ukuze azuze insindiso yakho. Okufanele ukwenze nje ukuza kuJesu ngokumethemba okulula, uphenduke ezonweni zakho, umcele ukuba akuthethelele. Qaphela ukuthi lesi simemo sitholakala emhlabeni wonke. UJesu uthi “bonke abakhandlekayo nabasindwayo.” Akukhathaleki ukuthi ungowaluphi uhlanga, ulandela yiphi inkolo, ukusiphi isifunda, noma umbala wesikhumba sakho unjani. Lesi simemo nge-sakho! Uyamenywa!
