Thola i AppIndoda Ephakathi NEsiphambano: Uhlelo lokufunda iPhasika Lezinsuku Ezingu-7Isampula
UNYAZILWEZULU
“Kwasekungaba yihora lesithupha, kwase kuba mnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye, ukukhanya kwelanga kwafiphala. NGOKUKALUKA 23:44-45
Ngemva kokubethelwa kukaJesu, emini bebade, izwe lagwinywa ubumnyama. Cabanga nje indlela okumele ukuba kwakudabukisa ngayo! Ngokuphazima kweso, abantu bazizwa besengozini ngokwengeziwe, besaba. Kungenzeka ukuthi kwakunabanye ababekhona ekuboshweni kukaJesu futhi bakhumbula ukuthi wayexwayisile, “Leli yihora lenu, namandla obumnyama” (NgokukaLuka 22:53). Kodwa iningi lathi omunye komunye, Kazi lobumnyama bumayelana nani? Ngiyazibuza ukuthi kungani lokhu kwenzeka?
Ngandlela thize, bekufanele bayazi impendulo yalowo mbuzo. Ukufa kukaJesu kwenzeka phakathi nomkhosi wePhasika eJerusalema—umkhosi owawunamakhulu eminyaka wenziwe minyaka yonke. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, amaJuda ayezokhumbula ukuthi inhlupho yokugcina uNkulunkulu ayithumela phezu kweGibhithe ngaphambi kokufika kwengelosi yokufa nokufa kwamadodana amazibulo kwakuyileso sobumnyama phezu kwalo lonke izwe. Babezokhumbula ukuthi ngemva kobumnyama kwafika ukufa: ukuthi ngaleso senzakalo, yilabo kuphela ababevikelwe ngegazi lewundlu lePhasika abavuka ekuseni ukuze bathole amazibulo abo esekhona nabo. Futhi manje, lapha, ofudukeni olukhulu olwaboniswa kuqala yilolo lokuqala, ubumnyama bandulela ukufa kukaKristu, owayeyiWundlu lePhasika eliphelele futhi eliyilo.
KunjengoMthwali wesono—njengeWundlu eliphelele nelingenabala—ukuthi uJesu wangena phambi kukaNkulunkulu ongenasono. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Akaphathanga umnikelo wokubuyisela ngaphandle Kwakhe. Ngaphambi kwalesi sikhathi emlandweni, ukuze angene endaweni engcwele yobukhona bukaNkulunkulu ethempelini laseJerusalema, umpristi omkhulu kwakudingeka enze umhlatshelo wesono sakhe siqu futhi enze umhlatshelo wezono zalabo ayebamele. Kodwa lomPristi oMkhulu wangena ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele ezulwini engaphethe lutho. Kungani? Ngoba Yena uqobo wayengawudingi umhlatshelo, ngoba wayephelele, engenasono; nokho Yena uqobo wayengumhlatshelo. UJesu wayeyiWundlu. Kwakungekho okunye Owayengakuthwala futhi akukho okunye Ayengakuthwala. Njengoba uPetru echaza, “Yena ngokwakhe wathwala izono zethu emzimbeni wakhe esihlahleni” (1 KaPetru 2:24).
Ngakho ubumnyama bokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu abuzange bube nezwi lokugcina. Ngenxa yokuthi uJesu waba yisono, eletha ulaka olugcwele lukaNkulunkulu, singadluliselwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu, “ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo” (1 KaPetru 2:9). Akukho okunye emhlabeni wonke okubonisa ukuthi luyiqiniso kangakanani uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngezoni nokuthi isono sethu singokoqobo kangakanani kuNkulunkulu.
Kungabe ilanga ebumnyameni lingazifihla
Futhi livale inkazimulo yakhe phakathi
Lapho uKristu uMenzi onamandla efa
Kumuntu isono sesidalwa.[1]
- UNkulunkulu ungibiza kanjani ukuze ngicabange ngendlela ehlukile?
- UNkulunkulu uhlela kanjani kabusha uthando lwenhliziyo yami—engikuthandayo?
- UNkulunkulu ungibizelani ukuba ngenze njengoba ngiqhubeka nosuku lwami namuhla?

Mayelana naloluHlelo
Cishe wonke umuntu uyavuma ukuthi lo mhlaba uphukile. Kodwa kuthiwani uma kukhona isixazululo? Lolu hlelo lwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa lwePhasika luqala ngesipiliyoni esiyingqayizivele sesela esiphambanweni futhi lubheka ukuthi kungani okuwukuphela kwempendulo yangempela yokuphulwa kutholakala ekubulaweni komuntu ongenacala: uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
