Uba kanjani UmakhelwaneIsampula

Yehla Esikebheni Sakho Udonse Isitulo

Izolo, sihlangane no-Andy noSylvia. Kungani bathuthela endaweni yangakubo? Ukuze bazi omakhelwane babo futhi bamelele uKristu. Bakwenza kanjani? Ukupheka. Kungani uJesu avela ezulwini weza emhlabeni? Ukuze sazi, ukuze siphile ukuphila okujulile nokwanelisayo. Kuyi ngakho Weza, kepha weza kanjani? Ujesu ngokwakhe wathi, “Indodana yomuntu yeza idla, futhi iphuza.” Kodwa bekungafanele ukusho. Imvuthuluka yemibhalo evela kulezi ziqephu zokupheka ziwubufakazi bokuthi uJesu wadla futhi waphuza indlela Yakhe ngamavangeli: izinkwa nezinhlanzi zabayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu, owesifazane ngasemthonjeni, amanzi ewayini, indlu kaZakewu, isidlo sakusihlwa sokugcina, isidlo sasemini noLevi umthelisi, ukudla nabaFarisi, isidlo sakusihlwa somshado weWundlu, “Ngangomile,” umfanekiso weDili Elikhulu, nompheki osanda kubanjwa wenhlanzi eyosiwe kanye nabafundi Bakhe bokuqala.

Uma sibizwe ukuba sibe izisebenzi ezikanye nomsebenzi kaJesu, kungani, kungafanele nathi sihlanganyele no-Andy noSylvia ukwenza kanjani Kwakhe? Lapho esicela ukuba siphuze futhi sihlephule isinkwa ukuze simkhumbule, kwakusekudleni ekhaya. Ukuhlanganyela ukudla nomakhelwane bethu kuyindlela esebenza isikhathi eside, esebenzayo, nejabulisayo yokubazi. Kungumsebenzi ohlanganyelwe ukuqeda ukomela kwethu ngokomzimba, ngokomzwelo, nangokomoya. Etafuleni yilapho uJesu ahlanganyela khona. Ngakho-ke uma silapha ukuzohlanganyela Naye, asidonse isihlalo!

Isidlo ngasinye uJesu ahlanganyela kuso sisibonisa indlela yomakhelwane, kodwa kafushane ake sihlole okokugcina kwakhe. Ngemva kweSidlo Sakusihlwa Sokugcina, uJesu wabelana ngesidlo sasekuseni Sakhe sokugcina. Uyakhumbula lapho uJesu ehlangana noPetru okokuqala? Wamyenga emkhunjini wakhe wokudoba wamngenisa ekuphileni okusha—ukudoba abantu.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, uJesu wabonakala, evusiwe kwabafileyo, wathola uPetru nabafundi bakhe bebuyela emsebenzini wabo omdala wokudoba. Kodwa ukuhlehla kwabo kwahluleka. Badoba ubusuku bonke futhi ababambanga lutho ... lutho kwaze kwaba yilapho uJesu ebatshela ukuthi baphonse ngaphesheya, lapho badonsa khona izinhlanzi ezinkulu ezingu-153 ekujuleni. Lapho behudulela izinhlanzi ogwini, uJesu wayesezosa ezakhe izinhlanzi. Ngemva kokudla, uJesu wabuza uPetru ukuthi uyamthanda. Upetru wakuqinisekisa, uJesu wathi: “Yipha amawundlu ami.” Izikhathi ezintathu (inombolo efanayo uPetru waphika uJesu esiphambanweni), uJesu wawuphinda umbuzo kanye nomyalo. Ngemva kwalengxoxo, uPetru welusa ukuqala kwalokho esikubiza ngokuthi ubuKristu.

Lokhu kudla kokudoba kuhlangene ngani nendlela yethu esingomakhelwane? Bangaki kithi abasesikebheni sikaPetru? Ujesu wasibizela ukuthi sidobe abantu, kodwa siphonse amanetha ethu emisebenzini yokubuyela emuva, amaphupho angenakwenzeka, mhlawumbe iphupho laseMelika. Besidoba ubusuku bonke—zonke izimpilo zethu—futhi izindlu zethu, ama-akhawunti asebhange, namagaraji kungase kugcwale, kodwa amanetha ethu awajulile futhi awagcwali. Ngakho, sibhala isheke, sithathe uhambo, noma sehlise ingubo yokulala ukuze sizame ukuthulisa imibuzo kaJesu ephindaphindwayo nemiyalo, “Uyangithanda na? Yondla amawundlu ami.” Lokhu akusho ukuthi kufanele siyeke imisebenzi yethu, siyeke ukubhala amasheke, sibe abadlayo, abahambayo, abavangeli nabashumayeli. Akufanele. Kodwa sonke sibizwe njengabelusi ukuba sondle futhi sinakekele amawundlu kaJesu. Ukristu ovukile usilindile ogwini, esiqhweba emikhumbini yethu, ukuze ahlephule isinkwa nabampofu, kanye nezoni, nabathunjwa, futhi ahlanganyele izindaba zakhe ezinhle nabobonke etafulenilethu.

Isinyathelo sanamuhla: Cela uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akhulume nawe mayelana nokuthi ukhonza uYihlo noma ukwehluleka kwakho. Mema omakhelwane abathile—ikakhulukazi abangafani nawe—esidlweni.

Isimiso Sesithathu: Ukusiza nokubuyisela kuhlukile—kodwa kokubili kubalulekile.
Sinquma ukugijima ngokushesha ngokukhululeka noma ukuthatha isikhathi eside nokubuyisela. Impumuzo iwusizo olusheshayo, lwesikhashana lokunciphisa ukuhlupheka phakathi nangemva kwenhlekelele. Ukubuyisela kwenzeka ngobudlelwane besikhathi eside obakha kabusha abantu, imindeni, kanye nemiphakathi ibuyele ekupheleleni okuklanywe nguNkulunkulu. Kokubili kubalulekile.
