Thola i AppUkungaphumuliIsampula
Izolo, sibonile ukuthi uJesu uwuphinda kanjani umqondo wokuphumula kweSabatha njengesipho okumele sithokozelwe, kunomthetho okumele uthotshelwe. Ngakho, uma iSabatha, emazwini kaJesu, “lenzelwe umuntu,” (NgokukaMarku 2:27), umbuzo uthi, yini umuntu ayidingayo? Njengoba sibonile osukwini lokuqala lwalolu hlelo, sidinga ikhambi lokungahlaliseki, okungukuthi, ukushintshiselana njalo ngezinto ezimunca ukuphila, senze izinto ezinikeza ukuphila, sizijwayeze ukubonga, futhi sizikhumbuze ukuthi umsebenzi kaJesu esiphambanweni usikhulula kanjani ekucindezelekeni ukusebenza emhlabathini.
Sizenza kanjani futhi nini lezi zinto kuzobukeka kuhlukile kumuntu nomuntu. Njengoba uJesu eyisivumelwano esisha, asisavalelwe osukwini oluthile lwesonto ukuze siphumule ekungaphumulini kwethu. Ungakwazi “ukuSabatha” noma uphumule njalo ebusuku ngemva kokulalisa izingane zakho ukuze zilale, noma eholidini lasehlobo laminyaka yonke, noma, njengokujwayelekile, ngosuku olumisiwe isonto ngalinye.
Mina nomndeni wami samukela isipho sokuphumula okufana neSabatha njalo ngeSonto, lapho sizama ukwenza izinto “ezinikeza ukuphila” kuphela futhi sizama ngakho konke okusemandleni ethu ukumisa konke ukulwa kanye nokukhiqiza. Kithina, lokho kubukeka njengokungasebenzisi amafoni ethu, ukudla esikuthandayo, ukuchitha isikhathi esengeziwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu, nokujabulela isikhathi nomndeni wethu nabangani abaseduze. Kodwa okungijabulisa kakhulu ukuthi usuku olulodwa, simisa ngamabomu noma iyiphi ingxoxo ekhiqizayo. Lokho kusho ukuthi akukho mibono yokukhuluma ngencwadi yami elandelayo, akukho ukuhlela iholide lethu elilandelayo, futhi awekho amakhalenda okuxoxa eviki elizayo. Ngolunye usuku, ngokusemandleni ethu, sivele siphumule futhi sazise izinto ezinhle, umsebenzi, nabantu uNkulunkulu asiphe sona—singazabalazeli okunye okwengeziwe.
Njengoba mina nomkami siqala ukwenza iSabatha eminyakeni embalwa edlule, kwasheshe kwacaca ukuthi kungani uJesu athi iSabatha elomuntu hhayi ngenye indlela. Isabatha liyithuba lokuphumula ekucindezelweni okungapheli kwezwe ukuze uhlale ufeza, uxazulula, ujabulisa, usebenzisa, ukuthumela, nokwenza. Usuku lokubuka impilo yethu, umsebenzi wethu, kanye nesiphambano futhi sithi ngokukhulu ukwaneliseka, “Lokhu kwanele!”
Lolu hlobo lokuphumula alufiki kalula kimi. Hhayi ngisho eduze. Kodwa lapho ngizijwayeza lawa makhefu ajwayelekile, ngiba nokungaphumuli nokukhathazeka. Uma ungaphumuli njengami, ngizokukhuthaza ukuthi uzwe uJesu ekutshela ukuthi ukuphumula okufana neSabatha ngokwakho. Akusewona umyalo ongokomthetho. Kuyisipho esibaluleke kakhulu namuhla kunanini ngaphambili. Ngiyakhuleka ukuthi uyamukele.
Ingabe lolu hlelo lube usizo?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
“Izinhliziyo zethu aziphumuli baze bakuthole ukuphumula kuWe.” Akukaze nanini ngaphambili ukuthi abaningi bethu bazizwe ukungahlaliseki u-Augustine akuchaze ngalo musho odumile. Kepha siyini isisombululo ekushodeni kwethu kokuphumula kwangempela? Njengoba lolu hlelo lwezinsuku ezintathu luzobonisa, ikhambi ngokwengxenye lisekubukeni umkhuba wasendulo weSabatha ngelinye ilensi — ngokusebenzisa i-lens ka “Wena” —uJesu — umthombo wethu wokugcina wokuthula.
