Kungani Kunzima Ukuthethelela?Isampula

Owesifazane Obanjwe Ephinga

Ngelinye ilanga uJesu efundisa ethempelini, abaholi benkolo nabafundisi baletha owesifazane kuJesu ngenxa yesono sakhe. Batshela uJesu ukuthi lo wesifazane ubanjwe ephinga. UJesu wayengadingi ukukhunjuzwa ngomthetho, kodwa bakwenza noma kunjalo. “EMthethweni uMose wasiyala ukuba abanjalo bakhandwe ngamatshe” (Levitikusi 20:10 NIV). Babe sebembuza uJesu ukuthi wayengathini ngale ndaba.

Ngokuzola, uJesu wagoba ukwenza into ababengayilindele, waqala ukubhala othulini.Wayesethi: “Ongenasono kini makabe ngowokuqala ukujikijela itshe kuye” (NgokukaJohaneJohane 8:7 NIV). Wagoba ukuze aqhubeke eloba othulini, futhi kancane kancane, abamangaleli banyomuka bahamba. 

Ingxenye ethokozisayo kule ndaba ukuthi babezama ukucupha uJesu ngalo mbuzo. Babefuna ukubona ukuthi wayezowusekela yini umthetho noma cha, kodwa nokho, abazange bawusekele ngokugcwele umthetho. Uma lona wesifazane ebanjwe ephinga, badebeselela ukuletha indoda ayenaye—ngoba umthetho wawuthi babulawe bobabili.

UJesu wabuza owesifazane ukuthi bashonephi abamangaleli bakhe, wathi akamahluleli, futhi wamtshela ukuthi ashiye impilo yakhe yesono. Kwakungekho nkulumo mayelana nokuthi “ukwenze kanjani lokhu!” futhi akuzange kube nezinyathelo ezingu-10 azinikezwa ukumsiza ukuba aphume obishini ayekulo. Kwakukhona nje okulula, nokho umyalo onamandla owashiwo nguMsindisi omnene owayekufuna ngempela ukuba “ahambe ashiye ukuphila kwakhe kwesono.”

Ngokuba uJesu atshela lona wesifazane ukuthi akamlahli futhi amyeke ahambe kwaba yichilo kubaFarisi nabafundisi bomthetho. Bayilalela ngokugcwele imithetho yabo, eyayingenisa abantu abaphakeme ngokomoya. Yikho konke ababenakho nabathembele kukho. Ukube babazi ukuthi ingakanani intethelelo evela kuJesu engacebisa izimpilo zabo. 

Kungenzeka kube yithi esidinga ukuxolelwa kunoma yisiphi isimo. Mhlawumbe yithina abenze isenzo esingakhulumeki esingakasicubunguli nokusicubungula. Futhi kulokho sidinga ukuzwa kuJesu—Akasilahli kodwa ufisa ukuba sishiye ukuphila kwethu isono sethu. Kodwa nathi kungase kube yithi esidinga ukuthethelela. Lona wesifazane wenza isono esabangela ukufa, kodwa nokho uJesu akazange amlahle. 

Njengoba ucubungula le ndaba yokuthethelelwa okukhulu kanye nokuhlengwa, cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi ahlole inhliziyo yakho futhi akusize ubone lapho ukuthethelelwa kufanele kwamukelwe noma kudluliselwe khona.
