Umlilo KaNkulunkulu KuJesu

Kwabanye, kwakuyindawo yokudumisa. Kwabanye, kwakuyindawo yebhizinisi yokuziphilisa nganoma iyiphi indlela edingekayo. Kodwa eNdodaneni, kwakuyiNdlu kaYise—inkundla engcwele kanye nendawo yokuthandazela insindiso, ukuphiliswa kanye nokukhululwa kwezizwe. Ngakho, kwaphuma isiswebhu ngokumelene nabahwebi bemali, amasela nabahlukumezi, okwenza abaFarisi bathukuthele futhi babeka ukuphila Kwakhe engozini. Kodwa ngenxa yodumo lukaYise olwalusengozini kanye nokukhululwa kwezizwe kulenga esilinganisweni, Wahleka ukufa ngoba kwakufanelekile. Esiphambanweni, uzoya uma kufanele. O, yeka intshisekelo!

Ekwazini kwabantu, umlilo kaNkulunkulu uhumusha uthando—uhlobo lothando esilubone kuJesu. Mhlawumbe Wayengashisekeli emazwini Akhe kuphela. Lapho uJesu eya eJerusalema okokugcina, sifunda ukuthi wayehamba phambi kwabafundi Bakhe. Babona ukuthi Waziqinisa kanjani (NgokukaMarku 10:32). Kungani? Ngandlela thize, umlilo owawusemphefumulweni Wakhe wawubonakala endleleni ayehamba ngayo.

Sebefikile uJesu wabona ukungcoliswa kwethempeli. Abafundi babe nobunye ubufakazi bemizwa Yakhe yothando. Indlela asabela ngayo yamenza waba umuntu omangalisayo. Abafundi bakhunjuzwa amazwi kumaHubo 69:9: “Ngokuba ukushisekela indlu yakho kungidlile...” Kodwa kwakuwulaka oluzalwa ngothando, hhayi ulaka olubandayo. Ujesu wayengeyena umuntu oshiseka ngokweqile. Wayeyithanda indlu kaYise, yilokho kuphela. Kwakuyisifiso Sakhe ukubona abantu ethempelini, bekhonza ngenkululeko nangenjabulo. Kodwa ukuhweba ethempelini kwakukonakalisile konke lokho. Inhliziyo yakhe yaphuphuma njengentabamlilo. Umlilo kaMoya oNgcwele emphefumulweni Wakhe wamenza wahlanza ithempeli. 

Abantwana, izimpumputhe nezinyonga bahlala, futhi wabaphulukisa (NgokukaMathewu 21:14-16). Yilokho Ayefuna ukukwenza nomakanjani, futhi kungalesi sizathu intukuthelo Yakhe yakhuphuka njengokushisa okufana nomlilo. Intukuthelo yakhe yayihlose injabulo. Waphumelela—abantwana bagcina sebecula, “Hosana!”
