Lokho UJesu Angaku Shongo
Ngikuthola kuthakazelisa ukuthi lapho uJesu eqondisa uMarta, Akazange athi, “Kungani ungafani nodadewenu, uMariya?” Wayazi ukuthi uMarta wayengeke abe uMariya, futhi uMariya wayengeke abe uMarta. Kodwa lapho bobabili bebhekene nokukhetha okufanayo—ukusebenza noma ukukhuleka—uJesu wathi, “UMariya ukhethe ingxenye engcono kakhulu.”
Kimina, lokhu kusho ukuthi ingxenye engcono yayitholakala kubo bobabili uMariya noMarta. Futhi itholakala komunye nomunye wethu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isiphiwo noma ubuntu bethu. Kuyisinqumo sonke esingasenza.
IBhayibheli alicaci ukuthi kwakuwukuvakasha kukaJesu okokuqala ekhaya eBethaniya noma cha. Noma ngabe yikuphi, akuzona zonke izinsuku uNkulunkulu avakashele umuzi wakho. Ngakho uMariya akalinaki isiko, wephula imikhuba emihle emphakathini, futhi uyacindezela. Akunandaba ukuthi angase angaqondwa kahle. Akanandaba nokuthi abafundi bambheka ngendlela exakile. Kwenye indawo buqamama, uyalizwa igama lakhe, kodwa licwiliswe ukubiza kweNkosi yakhe. Ubizo lokuza. Ubizo lokulalela.
Ngokumelene nalesi sizinda sase-Bethany sezivakashi ezingalindelekile, ngibona umzabalazo engibhekana nawo nsuku zonke lapho kushayisana umsebenzi nokukhonza. Ingxenye kimi inguMariya. Ngifuna ukukhonza ngokwedlulele. Ngifuna ukuhlala ezinyaweni zaKhe. Kodwa enye ingxenye yami inguMarta—futhi kuningi okumele ngikwenze! Sikhetha kanjani ingxenye engcono bese siqhubeka nokwenza okufanele kwenziwe?
UJesu uyisibonelo sethu esiphezulu. Wayengajahile neze. Omunye uye wathi uJesu wahamba esuka endaweni yokukhuleka waya endaweni yokuthandaza futhi wenza izimangaliso phakathi. Yeka ukuthi kumangalisa kangakanani ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu kangangokuthi akukho nesisodwa isenzo esichithwayo, akukho nelilodwa igama eliwela phansi!
Lokho ukusondelana uJesu asimema ukuba sikuhlanganyele. Usimema ukuba simazi, simbone ngokucacile kangangokuthi lapho sibheka Kuye, sibona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu.
Njengoba amukela uMariya ukuba ahlale ezinyaweni Zakhe endlini yokuphumula, njengoba nje Emema uMarta ukuba aphume ekhishini isikhashana futhi ahlanganyele engxenyeni engcono, uJesu usicela ukuba size.
Uke wezwa nini empilweni yakho uJesu ekubiza ukuthi uze uhlale ezinyaweni zakhe? Uphendule kanjani?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Ngokuvamile sizizwa sengathi asenzi okwanele. Khona-ke sizizwa sinecala ngoba kufanele sibe nezikhathi zokuthula noNkulunkulu—kodwa uma sizama ukwehlisa ijubane, izinhliziyo zethu nezingqondo zethu zibamatasatasa. Indaba kaMariya noMarta isinika isiqondiso kanye nomusa kulesi simo. Yindaba yodade ababili. Yindaba yethu ngamunye.
