Izindaba Zomusa

Umusa usenhliziyweni yendaba kaNkulunkulu. Ake sibheke izindaba ezintathu kweziningi zomusa esizithola eBhayibhelini.

Owesimame Emthonjeni
KuJohane 4, uJesu wahlangana nowesifazane ongumSamariya owafika emthonjeni. Lapho emcela ukuba amphuzise, wamangala—wayengumJuda, futhi amaJuda ayengazihlanganisi namaSamariya. Wamtshela ngaManzi Aphilayo ukuthi angamupha ukuze angaphinde ome. Kodwa, Wamtshela ukuthi athole umyeni wakhe kuqala, futhi waphendula ngokuthi wayengenaye. UJesu wayazi ukuthi wayenamadoda amahlanu, ngaphandle kwendoda ayehlala nayo. Lona wesifazane wayengeyona insika yokuziphatha kahle emphakathini. Nokho, uJesu wahlangana naye lapho ayekhona futhi wamnika okuthile okwakungashintsha ukuphila kwakhe.

UPetru Uphika UJesu
Kunento eyenzekayo empilweni kaPetru iningi lethu ebelingeke liyibikezele. Nokho, uJesu wayazi ukuthi uPetru—umfundi wokuqala owayezobizwa—wayezomkhaphela ngolunye usuku. Ngemva nje kokuboshwa kukaJesu, uPetru wazama ukuzifihla, kodwa waqashelwa. Kwakungemva kokumphika kwesithathu lapho uPetru ezwa iqhude likhala, futhi waphuma endaweni yesehlakalo ekhala. Asazi ukuthi kwenzekani phakathi kokuphika kwakhe uJesu kanye nokugijimela kwakhe ethuneni ngemva kokuzwa ukuthi uJesu uyaphila, kodwa okuthile akwenza. Kamuva kuJohane 21, sizobona uJesu ebuyisela uPetru ngokumcela kathathu ukuthi amemezele uthando lwakhe Ngaye.

Isela Esiphambanweni
ULuka 23 uqukethe ingxoxo emfushane phakathi kukaJesu namasela amabili ngesikhathi bonke beseziphambanweni zabo. Elinye isela lalinomunyu, lifuna ngenkani futhi lingabaza ukuthi uJesu ungubani. Omunye wayazi ukuthi ufanelwe ukufa, kodwa ukuthi uJesu wayengakufanele ukufa. Wabe esecela uJesu ukuba amkhumbule. Futhi impendulo kaJesu kumelwe ukuba yaletha ukuthula okumangalisayo kulelo sela esiphambanweni lapho emqinisekisa ngokuthi bayoba ndawonye ngemva kokuphefumula kwabo kokugcina.

Lapho sicabanga ngalezi zindaba ezintathu eziseBhayibhelini, kungase kube lula ngathi ukuqonda ukunikeza umusa kowesifazane osemthonjeni kanye nakuPetru. Phela, kubonakala kukukhulu ukubulala umuntu kunokuphinga, akunjalo? Futhi uPetru, nakuba aphika ukuthi uyamazi uJesu, wenza ezinye izinto eziningi ezinhle kuJesu. Kodwa isela esiphambanweni? Hhayi-ke, lesi kungaba isibonelo esihle kakhulu sokuthi umusa ubukeka kanjani. Lapho uJesu emtshela khona lapho—ngomzuzu wokugcina—ukuthi uyoba noJesu epharadesi ngalo lolo suku, kuba nzima ngathi ukusiqonda lesi senzo somusa esikhulu.

Lokhu kuwumongo womusa kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu. Siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela. Akumele silungise konke kuqala. Ufuna nje ukuthi size kuye, njengoba sinjalo.
