Usuku 3: UNawomi noRuthe
Njengoba uNkulunkulu asebenzisa uMose ukuba aphakamise uJoshuwa njengomholi wesikhathi esizayo NGabantu Bakhe, kanjalo uNkulunkulu wasebenzisa uNawomi ukuba eze nomalokazana wakhe uRuthe ngesikhathi esibuthakathaka kakhulu futhi esengozini yokuphila kwakhe.
Sifunde ngendaba yabo ezahlukweni ezine zencwadi kaRuthe. Kwenzeka ngesikhathi sabaHluleli ngemva kokuba amaHeberu ezinzile ezweni lesethembiso kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ethweswe umqhele inkosi yawo yokuqala. Indlala ezweni yaholela indoda okuthiwa u-Elimeleki, umkakhe uNawomi, namadodana abo amabili ukuba basuke eBhetlehema baye kwaMowabi.
Akuphelanga sikhathi esingakanani ehambile, kwehlelwa inhlekelele njengoba u-Elimeleki eshona. Amadodana kaNawomi amabili ashada nabesifazane bakwaMowabi, futhi kwaphinde kwehlelwa usizi lapho la madodana amabili efa. Omunye unkosikazi wasala kwaMowabi, kanti omunye, uRuthe, walandela uninazala babuyela eBhetlehema.
URuthe, isihambi kwaJuda, ezweni lomyeni wakhe, wahlala eduze noNawomi, owaba umeluleki wakhe. Uma ucabanga ngakho, kokubili bekungeke kuhluke kakhulu. Omunye wayesemdala, omunye esemncane. Babevela ezizindeni ezihlukahlukene, amasiko nezinkolo.
Kodwa ekufundeni indaba yabo, sithola ukuncika okunempilo. Siphinde sibone uRuthe engena ebuhlotsheni besivumelwano noNawomi, esasihlanganisa ukuzibophezela kukaRuthe okusuka enhliziyweni: “Abantu bakini bayakuba ngabantu bakithi, noNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami; lapho ufela khona ngiyakufela khona, ngimbelwe khona. Sengathi iNkosi ingenza njalo kimi, yengezelele futhi, uma kukhona okungehlukanisa naWE ngaphandle kokufa.”
Njengoba indaba iqhubeka, uNawomi uhamba noRuthe njengoba uRuthe ehlangana futhi engena ebuhlotsheni obukhulayo nendoda okuthiwa uBhowazi. Ukweluleka kwakhe kwakuzoholela emshadweni kaRuthe noBhowazi. URuthe wayezoba ukhokho weNkosi uDavide, kanjalo abe ukhokho kaJesu uMesiya!
Indaba yabo isikhumbuza ukuthi ubudlelwano phakathi kwezizukulwane, impilo nokuphila bunezinzuzo ezifanayo. Siyadingana ngempela! Ukufundisa ukuphila nokuphila kuwukuthi, ngamunye uhlanganyela ukuphila kwakhe nomunye—“ukuphila ndawonye.” Njengoba sibona endabeni kaNawomi noRuthe, ubuhlobo obunjalo bungase buvele ngisho nasemindenini yethu siqu!
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Ingabe uyakulangazelela “ukwenza abafundi abenza abafundi,” ukulandela umyalo kaJesu eMthethweni Omkhulu (NgokukaMathewu 28:18-20)? Uma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi uthole ukuthi kungaba nzima ukuthola izibonelo zalolu hlelo. Ubani ongamulandela? Kubukeka kanjani ukwenza abafundi ekuphileni kwansuku zonke? Ake sibheke eTestamenteni Elidala ukuze sibone ukuthi amadoda nabesifazane abahlanu batshala kanjani imali kwabanye, i-Life-to-Life®.
