Usuku 4: UDavide noJonathani
Ubungani obuphakathi kukaDavide noJonathani bunikeza esinye isithombe sokuthi ukufundisa nge-Mpilo-kuya-Empilweni kubukeka kanjani.
INkosi uSawule yayiyinkosi yokuqala yakwa-Israyeli, futhi uJonathani wayeyindodana yakhe. Naphezu kwesiqalo sakhe esiphansi, kancane kancane uSawule waqala ukungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu futhi waqala ukumisa ubukhosi bakhe. Ingxenye yalolo hlu lozalo yayilwela ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngolunye usuku uJonathani uzothatha isikhundla sakhe njengenkosi.
Nokho bekungelona icebo likaNkulunkulu lelo. Kunalokho, uNkulunkulu wahola umprofethi, uSamuweli, ukuba agcobe umalusi osemusha uDavide esikhundleni sikaSawule ekugcineni. UDavide wayengumuntu ‘ongokwenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu. Ngokudabukisayo, iNkosi uSawule ayizange iphumelele. Ngakho, ngenxa yomona omsulwa, uSawule waphishekela uDavide engaphezi ngenjongo yokumbulala nokuvulela uJonathani indlela yokuba athathe isihlalo sobukhosi futhi amlandele njengenkosi. (Bheka ku-1 Samuweli 1-31.)
Phakathi kwazo zonke lezi zinxushunxushu, kwenzeka into eyayingenakwenzeka: UDavide noJonathani baba izihlobo zomphefumulo; “Umphefumulo kaJonathani wanamathela emphefumulweni kaDavide, uJonathani wamthanda njengomphefumulo wakhe.” Kwakungekho ukuncintisana, kungekho kukhathazeka ngokuthi umuntu wayezophazamisa ubungani; laba ababili babezibophezele ukuba khona komunye nomunye kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zithini izindleko.
Sibona ubizo lobudlelwano obunjalo obuzuzisa ngokufanayo kulo lonke iBhayibheli. Kuboniswa izaga ezimbili ngokukhethekileyo: “Umuntu wabangani abaningi angase abhujiswe, kodwa kukhona umngani onamathela ngaphezu komfowenu,” futhi, “Insimbi ilola insimbi, futhi umuntu ulola omunye.” (IzAga 18:24; 27:17).
Ebunganeni bukaDavide noJonathani, sifunda ukubaluleka komuntu “ongathembela kuye”. Ngempela, njengoba indodana kaDavide uSolomoni yayiyobhala, ababili ngempela bangcono kunoyedwa (UmShumayeli 4:9-12), futhi noNkulunkulu ebuhlotsheni, “intambo emicu mithathu ayisheshi ukugqashuka” (ivesi 12).
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®.
