USUKU 6 KWEZINGU- 7

Usuku 6: Owesifazane Uphulukisiwe

UMathewu, uMarku, noLuka bonke balandisa ngalo wesifazane owayefuna ukuphulukiswa kuJesu. Wesaba kakhulu ukucela ukuphulukiswa kukaJesu, ngakho uvele wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe, ethemba ukuthi unamandla anele okuphulukisa ngale ndlela. Ngena ezicathulweni zakhe umzuzu. Usegule iminyaka eyishuminambili. Cabanga ngomuntu omaziyo oneminyaka eyishumi nambili, noma mhlawumbe uneminyaka eyishumi nambili. Leyo yimpilo yabo (noma yakho) yonke! Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uneminyaka emingaki, iminyaka eyishumi nambili iyisikhathi eside sokugula. Ukugula kowesifazane kwamenza wopha. Ngokwezempilo, lokhu kwakusho ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi wayekhathele ngaso sonke isikhathi, mhlawumbe engakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi evamile yansuku zonke kaningi. Ngokwenkolo, njengomJuda, lokhu kwakusho ukuthi “ungcolile” futhi wayengenakuhlanganyela kweminye yemisebenzi yenkolo—iminyaka eyishumi nambili. Cabanga ngokukhathala nesizungu okumelwe ukuba wayenaso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akekho udokotela owakwazi ukumsiza, futhi wayengasenayo nemali yokuzama okunye okuningi. Yini enye engenziwa noma kunjalo?

UJesu wasezulazula edolobheni, ecelwe ngumuntu ocebileyo, obalulekile ukuba eze endlini yakhe azophulukisa indodakazi yakhe. Lona wesifazane wayezwile ngokucacile ngoJesu nokuthi yini ayengayenza njengoba ayenethemba lokuthi ukuthinta izingubo zakhe kwakuzomphulukisa. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wayezama ukungamhlukumezi uJesu noma enamahloni okucela kuye usizo (noma ukuhlanganisa kokubili), wafuna—futhi kwasebenza! Emangele, owesifazane wabonakala efuna ukuhlala engaziwa, kodwa uJesu wakuyeka ayekwenza ukuze akhulume naye ngokuqondile.

Manje ake ucabange ngaleso sikhathi. Kade uzama ukucasha ngaphansi kwabantu, uthola lokho obukuzele, bese uJesu emisa isixuku futhi uyabuza, "Ubani ongithintile?" Uma ugijima, kungase kubonakale. Uma ubheka nxazonke sengathi akuwena, ingabe uzokwazi noma kunjalo, bese ekwenza kube kubi nakakhulu lapho ubizwa ngokuthi ungasho lutho? Owesifazane unquma ukuvuma, ekhothamise amehlo akhe, uyavuma ukuthi kwakunguye-phambi kwawo wonke umuntu. Kithina esiye saba nethuba lokufunda iBhayibheli futhi sabona indlela uJesu aphatha ngayo abantu, impendulo kaJesu yomusa ayisimangazi, kodwa lona wesifazane kanye nalabo ababenaye cishe bamangala. UJesu uthatha isikhashana njengoba ephuthunyiswa ukusiza omunye futhi ukhuluma nowesifazane, emncoma ngokholo lwakhe. UJesu uthi ukholo lwakhe yilo olumenze waphila. Ukholo lwakhe? Wazama ukungaziwa, njengokufihlwa, ngangokunokwenzeka. Wayengafuni ukunakwa futhi kungenzeka ukuthi wayezizwa ephelelwe ithemba; cishe akazange azizwe ekufanelekele ngokwanele ukucela usizo. Kodwa ekupheleni kosuku, wayeseza kuJesu enesibindi esingaba naso, futhi kwanele. UJesu akaceli ukholo olukhulu uma eqhathaniswa nelomunye umuntu; umane asicele ukuba size kuye nganoma iluphi ukholo esinalo. Lokho kukodwa kuthatha isibindi, kodwa qiniseka, uzoyithatha lapho.

Imibuzo Yokuzindla/Yengxoxo:

1. Ingabe ikhona indawo empilweni yakho ontula isibindi kuyo ngoba uzizwa sengathi awulungile ngokwanele?

2. Wake wambona uJesu ethatha into obucabanga ukuthi ayilungile futhi enza okumangalisayo ngayo? Chaza noma wabelane ngakho.

3. Iyiphi into eyodwa ocabanga ukuthi kufanele uye nayo kuJesu nakuba uyesaba?
