Umfundi Owayethandwa NguJesu
Umbhali wevangeli likaJohane kukholakala ukuthi ngu Johane owayengomunye wabafundi bokuqala ababizwa nguJesu. Nakuba igama lakhe kukhulunywa ngalo kwamanye amavangeli amathathu kaMathewu, uMarku, noLuka, empeleni akukhulunywa ngalo evangelini likaJohane. Kunalokho, uzibiza ngomuntu wesithathu ngesiteketiso esithi “Umfundi uJesu Ayemthanda.” Kwezinye izinguqulo ubizwa nangokuthi “Umfundi Othandekayo.”
Pho, kungani uJohane engashongo igama lakhe? Ingabe wayezicabangela yena ngokwakhe njengomuntu uJesu amthandayo? Ingabe lokhu kusho ukuthi uJesu wayemthanda kakhulu uJohane futhi enothando lwezinga lesibili ngabanye abafundi abangu-11? Okuthile okufanele sikuqaphele ukuthi uJohane akazange nje azibize “umfundi uJesu ayemthanda,” wabuye wabhekisela kuye ngokucacile kumuntu wesithathu. KuJohane 20, uvele wazibiza ngokuthi “omunye umfundi.” Angeke sazi ngokuqinisekile, kodwa izazi nezazi zenkolo zinokuthile okuqondile mayelana nokukhetha kukaJohane.
Okokuqala, iqiniso lokuthi igama likaJohane langempela alishiwongo kuyo yonke incwadi kaJohane kungase kusiholele ekuboneni isifiso sakhe sokungaziwa. Ukuthi ngempela wayengafuni abantu bagxile kuye kodwa kuMsindisi womhlaba nalokho Akwenzele isintu. Uma isifiso sikaJohane kwakuwukungaziwa ngempela ngangokunokwenzeka, khona-ke isidlaliso “umfundi uJesu ayemthanda” sasiyohambisana nalokho kucabanga. Abantu kuyo yonke iminyaka kungenzeka babezibuza ukuthi ubani umbhali wencwadi kaJohane, futhi uma kunjalo, kusho ukuthi umgomo wakhe kwafikwa kuwo.
Okwesibili, indlela u-Johane azibiza ngayo ngesiko lakhe cishe akufani kumasiko ethu. Lapho ezibiza ngokuthi “umfundi uJesu ayemthanda,” kungenzeka ukuthi wayegcizelela amandla kaJesu aguqula ukuphila nendlela ashintsha ngayo ukuphila kwakhe. Kubheke ngale ndlela: leso sidlaliso singafana nokuthi sizinikeza isidlaliso esasikhuluma ngothando lukaNkulunkulu ngathi “umusa kaNkulunkulu” noma “othandiwa nguNkulunkulu.” Noma, singaze sizibize “ngomntwana kaNkulunkulu,” kodwa asisho neze ukuthi abanye abakhethwa, abathandwa, noma abangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
Ekugcineni, singakwazi ukwazi ukuthi uJesu uthanda wonke umuntu emhlabeni. Weza emhlabeni, wafa ukufa okwakusifanele, futhi wavuka ethuneni ukuze sikwazi ukuzwa futhi sijabulele ingunaphakade noBaba wethu osezulwini.
