Thola i AppAbalingisi bePhasika: uSimoni PetruIsampula
Ukholo olunamawala olwaholela uPetru ukuba agxume emkhunjini ahambe phezu kwamanzi, ukuze asho ubuNkulunkulu bukaJesu, futhi yilo ukholo olwagcina uPetru eseduze lapho abanye bebaleka. Ngakho uPetru umi ngasemlilweni egcekeni, mhlawumbe ethukile. Kumnyama, ngakho mhlawumbe abamboni. Mhlawumbe uzama ukungabonakali, kodwa akunakwenzeka. Incekukazi yeza kuye futhi yambuza, “Ungomunye walabo ababenoJesu waseNazaretha, akunjalo?”
Kungenzeka ukuthi uzama ukumvala umlomo ukuze abanye bangezwa futhi nekhava yakhe ingembuleki, ukuze akwazi ukunamathela eduze. Kodwa ungumdobi, akayona inhloli. UnguPetru, umGalile ngezwi eligcizelelayo mayekhuluma. Ngakho uPetru uyabaleka aphume lapho bese esale ema ngasemnyango.
Omunye wezihlobo zenceku eyanqunywa indlebe nguPetru wathi: “Angikubonanga yini naye ensimini na?” Kuleli qophelo, isembozo sikaPetru simbulwe ngokuphelele. Uvezwa phambi kwabamangaleli bakhe futhi uyatatazela. Ngisho ukuthi, uma indlebe kamalume wakho inqunywa, uyayibona indoda ephakamise leyonkemba ngokumelene naye ngendlela engafanele, akunjalo? Ngakho uPetru uphendukela olimini lwasolwandle, ekhafula iziqalekiso, ukuphila kwakhe kwakudala kubuyela phambili. Futhi kungalesi sikhathi seqiniso lapho amazwi uJesu awakhuluma kuye ngobusuku obandulelayo enanela futhi ahlaba umphefumulo wakhe. Elinye iqhude lakhala.
Amavangeli onke abhala izinguqulo zawo zale ndaba, kodwa uLuka, intatheli ecophelelayo, ubhala imininingwane eshaqisayo: ngandlela thize uPetru wayephambi kukaJesu. “Inkosi yayisiphenduka, yambheka uPetru" (NgokukaLuka 22:61). Ungafunda nje ubuhlungu nokuqaqamba kulawo mazwi. Ukubhekwa amehlo, ukubukeka kosizi ebusweni bukaJesu, ukuphelelwa ithemba okugcwele enhliziyweni kaPetru. Le nsizwa eyake yaziqhenya, yazethemba yaphuka ngokuphelele futhi ngokungagodli. uLuka kamuva ubhala ukuthi “Waphumela phandle, wakhala ngomunyu” (NgokukaLuka 22:62).
Wake waba nomzuzu lapho wakhala ngomunyu? Ngakengaba nawo. Ukubhekana neqiniso nesiphambano sikaKristu kuzokwenza lokhu, kuvezwe ukuzidla kwethu kanye nokwaneliseka kwethu, isono esenza imiphefumulo yethu ibe mnyama. Noma uya kuJesu ngerekhodi lokufeza kanye nempilo yesisa noma ushuquza uye phambili ngezinyathelo ezimayo nempilo yehlazo, iKalvari iyokwephula, nokho iyokuphakamisa.
