Ingabe Uphephile?

Emhlabeni wanamuhla, sibeka phezulu kakhulu ukuphepha futhi sithambekele ekukhonzeni e-altare losizo sigwema ukungaphatheki kahle nganoma iyiphi indlela. Lokhu akufanele kube njalo kubantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

Kuwo wonke umbhalo, sithola ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakhazinyuliswa futhi ukholo lwethu luyaqina lapho ukuphepha nokunethezeka kusendaweni yesibili ekulandeleni Yena. Isifiso sakhe siwukuba siphile endaweni yokholo—hhayi endaweni ephephile.

Lapho uJesu emema uPetru ukuba agxume emkhunjini ngesikhathi kunesiphepho—lokho kwakungaphephile.

Lapho uNkulunkulu ebiza uMose ukuba amhlangabeze esiqongweni seNtaba iSinayi phakathi kokuduma, nombani, nokuzamazama komhlaba, nomlilo, nomusi—kwakungaphephile.

Lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bexoshwa ibutho laseGibithe, ababalekanga emhlabathini owomileyo, kodwa balalela, bangena olwandle olwalungaphephile.

UNkulunkulu unamandla futhi akesabi lutho. Uma siqonda ukuthi ukuphepha nokuvikeleka kwethu kutholakala Kuye kuphela, nathi singaba nesibindi futhi singesabi. Lapho sithembela futhi silalela izwi Lakhe, uyakhazinyuliswa, ukholo lwethu luyaqina, futhi uthando lwethu Ngaye luyakhula.

Ukube uPetru wakhetha ukuphepha kunokulandela uJesu, wayengeke asibone isimangaliso sokuhamba phezu kwamanzi.

Kwadinga isibindi ngoMose ukukhuphuka iNtaba yaseSinayi kodwa ukube akazange, wayeyophuthelwa ukuba sebusweni bukaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe. Ukholo lwakhe lwamvumela ukuba abone inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu yeShekina kanye nodumo lokukhuluma Naye mathupha.

Ukube ama-Israyeli ayekhetha ukuthatha indlela ephephile yomhlabathi oqinile phezu kwamanzi azikayo, ayengeke akwazi ukubona amandla kaNkulunkulu okuwakhulula ngokuhlukanisa ngokuyisimangaliso amanzi oLwandle Olubomvu.

UBaba wethu oseZulwini uyasiyala ukuthi singasabi noma sidangale ngoba unathi. UJesu akakaze ahlale eceleni, nathi akufanele. Njengabameleli Bakhe, kufanele sibe nesibindi futhi sibe nebenamandla, siqonde ukuthi umphefumulo obekwe uphawu nguNkulunkulu ulondeke phakade. Kulabo ababeke ukholo lwabo kuJesu, ngisho nokufa kunqotshiwe futhi ukunqoba kwethu kuqinisekisiwe.

Uma sihamba Naye, ongaphephile uyisitha semiphefumulo yethu.

Siba yingozi.
