“Isambulo SeBhayibheli Sikhulula uMike Singletary Ekucindezelekeni Kwangemva Komqhudelwano”
I-Super Bowl XX (Januwari 26, 1986): Chicago Bears 46, New England Patriots 10
Kuyo yonke isizini ka-1985, i-Chicago Bears yathwebula imicabango yabalandeli bebhola ezweni lonke ngenkathi ibusa izimbangi zayo endleleni eya erekhodini elicishe liphelele le-15-1. Ngezibalo ezimibalabala nezinamakhono alinganayo afana noJim McMahon, uWalter Payton, uWilliam “Isiqandisi” uPerry, uBuddy Ryan, noMike Ditka, akekho owayengavimba ukukhuphuka okungenakugwemeka kwe-franchise ekunqobeni i-NFL.
Ku-Super Bowl XX, i-New England Patriots eqalayo ayizange ifane ne-Bears firepower ehlaselayo kanye nokuzivikela okuqinile. Komunye wemidlalo yeNFL Championship eyake yaphunyukwa kakhulu, iChicago ihambe nokunqoba okugculisayo ngo 46-10.
Ukuvikela ukuzivikela okushisayo kwe-Beas kwakungumdlali wasemuva uMike Singletary noma “uSamurai Mike,” njengoba abadlali beqembu nabalandeli babevame ukumbiza kanjalo. Ngokungangabazeki omunye wabadlali basemuva abakhulu kakhulu abazodlala lo mdlalo, u-Singletary uqedele umsebenzi wakhe i-All-Pro izikhathi eziyisishiyagalombili, ukukhetha kwe-All-NFC izikhathi eziyisishiyagalolunye, ukukhetha kwe-Pro Bowl izikhathi eziyishumi, kanye noMdlali Wokuvikela Wonyaka ophindwe kabili. Kamuva wangeniswa e-Pro Football Hall of Fame.
U-Singletary uphinde waba ngomunye wabaqhudelana kakhulu be-NFL futhi waziwa ngokugqolozela kwakhe okugqamile, okwesabisayo okunamehlo abanzi kuwo wonke umugqa wokugxeka.
Kodwa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngemva kokufeza iphupho lakhe lokuwina isicoco se-Super Bowl, u-Singletary akakwazanga ukuqonda ukuthi kungani engajabule. Naphezu kokubhekana nenkathi engcono kakhulu yomsebenzi wakhe wobungcweti, wayekhungathekile, ethukuthele, futhi ecindezelekile. Kuthathe umphefumulo othile ukucinga okujulile kanye nomlayezo weBhayibheli ukusiza isihlabani se-NFL ukuthi siqhubekele phambili.
“Ngaleso sikhathi ngangisivivi,” kusho u-Singletary. “NgangingumKristu phakathi kwamaKristu futhi ngingomunye umuntu enkundleni yebhola. Ngangingomunye umuntu ekhaya. INkosi yayingibiza nje futhi ingivumela ukuba ngizibone ukuthi ngingubani. UNkulunkulu wayethi, ‘Kudingeka uhambe nami noma uhlukane nami.
Isambulo sika Singletary sakhuthazwa umyalelo womphostoli uJohane esiya kumaKristu okuqala eLawodikeya, idolobha elisentshonalanga yeTurkey yanamuhla. Isonto lalapho lase lizithele ngabandayo laphelelwa uthando lokushumayela ivangeli.
“Ngiyazazi izenzo zakho, ukuthi awubandi, awushisi; Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ungomunye noma omunye! Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuba usivivi—ungashisi futhi ungabandi—ngizokukhipha emlonyeni wami.” (IsAmbulo 3:15-16)
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi ngokuqhubekayo, u-Singletary wenza isinqumo sokuzibophezela kakhulu okholweni lwakhe lobuKristu.
“Ngayithatha leyo nselelo,” echaza. “Ngaqala ukuzibheka futhi ngabona ukuthi ngangizenzisa futhi ngehlulela. Ngangimubi nakakhulu. Kwadingeka ngibhekane nalezo zinto. Kwadingeka ngikhulume nomkami. Kwadingeka ngikhulume nobaba ngidlule kulo lonke lolu hlelo lokuxolelana futhi ngifinyelele ngempela ebubini bempilo yami. Futhi lapho ngiqala ukwenza lokho, mina neNkosi saqala ukuhwebelana. Ngamnika ububi bami ukuze ngibe yikho konke nobuhle Bakhe kanye nazo zonke izinto Angidalele ukuba ngibe yikho.”
