Okugqamile: Ukubheka Ukholo Oluqinile Lwabantu AbangapheleleIsampula
Usuku 1: UPetru
Abantu abaningi abake bafunda iBhayibheli noma ababuka noma yini ekhiqiziwe ngalo bake bezwa indaba kaPetru ehamba phezu kwamanzi futhi bake bacelwa inselelo ukuba ‘baphume emkhunjini’ ngesibindi sokholo. UJesu ehamba phezu kwamanzi ulotshwe ekulandiseni okuthathu kwezine kokuphila kukaJesu (kuMathewu, uMarku, noJohane), kodwa okuwukuphela kwawo okukhuluma ngokuhlanganyela kukaPetru Mathewu. Phawula ekulandiseni kukaMathewu isiyalezo sikaJesu esiqondile esiya kubafundi. Empeleni uMathewu uchaza uJesu ebatshela ukuba bangeni emkhunjini. Zontathu lezi zindaba zicaphuna uJesu ethi, “Yimi; Ungesabi." UJesu umane nje ucela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangesabi. Ukwesaba akudingekile ngoba unguJesu futhi ukhona. Kodwa umqondo kabani ngoPetru ukuba ehle emkhunjini? Kungumbono kaPetru. UJesu uyavumelana nakho, kodwa uJesu akazange amcele ekuqaleni. Into ayenzawacela kuye—engesabi—uPetru uyehluleka ngempela (indima 30). Kodwa ake sibheke isiphetho sendaba. Impendulo yabafundi iwukumangala nokukhulekela. Baye baqiniseka ukuthi uJesu “ngempela uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
Lolu hlobo lokuziphatha okungaphezu kwamandla kanye nokuziphatha ngokunganaki kujwayelekile kuPetru njengoba simbona ezindabeni zevangeli. Simbona esho izinto ezinkulu angeke akwazi ukuzilandela (isibonelo, uyaphika ukuthi uyamazi uJesu ngemva nje kokuthi ethi uzomfela), simbona enquma indlebe yomuntu, siyambona. ekhuluma ngaphandle kokucabanga izikhathi eziningi, futhi simbona ekhuza uJesu ngokwakhe. Kodwa futhi simbona ehola ibandla lokuqala ngendlela emangalisayo. Encwadini yeZenzo 2 sibona uPetru—egcwele uMoya oNgcwele—ehileleka ekuphulukiseni indoda eyisishosha, esukuma ngaphansi koshushiso, futhi enikeza intshumayelo enamandla okuthi ngemva kwalokhoabantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathubakholwa kuJesu. Ingabe nguye lowo mfana?
UJesu uqondisa uPetru njalo (futhi ngokubonga uphulukisa indoda eyanqunywa indlebe uPetru!), kodwa uJesu uthatha uPetru, nakuba ethatha isinyathelo ngaphambi kokuba acabange, amkhethe ukuba aqale akhe iBandla lakhe. Kungani? Ngokusobala uPetru wayebuthakathaka ngezindlela eziningi, futhi wayehluleka kaningi. Kodwa uJesu wabona okuthile kuPetru ayengakusebenzisa. UPetru kwadingeka akhule, kodwa izithako zazikhona. UPetru wayezimisele ukuzidela, ukulungiswa nokuqondiswa uJesu lapho kudingekile, futhi agxilise amehlo akhe kuJesu.
Imibuzo Yokuzindla/Yengxoxo:
1. Ufundani ngokufunda ukulandisa okuphefumulelwe kwamadoda amathathu ahlukene ngesenzakalo esifanayo?
2. Kungani ukulandisa okukodwa kokuthathu kwalesi senzakalo kungase kukhulume ngokuba nengxenye kukaPetru?
3. Ezinye izazi zikholelwa ukuthi ivangeli likaMarku empeleni liyi-akhawunti kaPetru yokuphila kukaJesu, futhi uMarku wavele wambhalela phansi. Uma lokhu kuyiqiniso, kungani ungase ungafuni ukutshela wonke umuntu ngesikhathi ohamba ngaso emanzini?
4. Yimaphi amandla nobuthakathaka onawo ongavumela uJesu akusebenzise?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Isibindi asidingi ukuthi sibe sikhulu futhi sisabalaliswe ukuze bonke babone; kusuke kuyisenzo sokuletha noma yini onayo kuJesu futhi umethembe ngomphumela. Woza uhambe ohambweni lwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa ubheke ukholo oluqinile lwabantu abangaphelele.
