Inguquko Enkulu

Ukujabulela umusa Wakhe kusilahlekisela ngokuthile. Into eyodwa: ukufa. Ukufa kwethu kokudala. Ukufa kokuziqhenya kwethu. Ukufa kokucabanga ukuthi singanela ngokwethu. Uzokuzonda isikhashana. Kodwa uyazi ukuthi kwenzekani emphefumulweni wakho? Uyakhululeka. Uyazi ukuthi kwenzekani uma ukhululekile? Abanye abantu bayakhululwa.

UPetru wayethanda kakhulu, futhi wenza amaphutha amakhulu kakhulu. Wayezidla futhi enothando. Sifana ncamashí noPetru.

Futhi uJesu uyakwazi lokho uPetru angakakwazi. Uyakudinga lokhu. Uyayidinga intethelelo yami. Awazi nokuthi yini ongayenza. Kodwa uyakudinga lokhu kuxolelwa namuhla.

Ngigeza ukwesaba kwakho okukuvimbela ekulaleleni.
Ngigeza ihlazo lakho elikwenza ucashe.
Ngigeza ukusebenza kwakho ocabanga ukuthi kufakazela ukubaluleka kwakho.
Ngigeza ukuzikhukhumeza kwakho okumelana nesidingo sakho sokuthethelelwa.
Ngigeza izinyawo zakho futhi ngizibeke endleleni Yami—indlela yenkonzo, indlela yothando, indlela yokwaliwa, indlela yokuhlupheka, indlela yenjabulo, indlela yokukhulula abantu.

Emuva kwamahora ambalwa egeze izinyawo zikaPetru, uJesu wakhetha ukufa esiphambanweni ukuze asigeze konke ubunuku nokungcola kwethu. Ngesenzo sobudlova esisodwa esibizayo, wasigeza ezonweni zethu. Sasiswele, futhi uKristu wakhokha inhlawulo yezono zethu ukuze sibe Naye kuze kube phakade. Igazi lakhe esikhundleni sethu.

Yilokhu okubukeka sengathi ukugcwalisa imiphefumulo yethu ngemifudlana yamanzi aphilayo, isinkwa esingaphinde sisishiye silambile, nokukhanya okuthatha ubumnyama. Asichazwa ngokubi kakhulu noma okuhle kakhulu; sichazwa nguNkulunkulu wethu.
