“UJesu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: ‘Baba, ezandleni zakho ngiyawubeka umoya wami.’ Eseshilo lokho wafa. ” NGOKUKALUKA 23:46 (ESV)

Ukuba lula kwala mazwi kusikhomba emaqinisweni ajule kakhulu ukuba singakhala.

ULuka, ngeso lakhe lemininingwane, usinikeza “indaba ehlelekile” yokubethelwa kukaJesu—indaba ayichaza ekuqaleni kweVangeli lakhe, iwumphumela wophenyo olucophelelayo futhi iye yabhalwa ukuze abafundi bayo babethelwe esiphambanweni. “Ungaqiniseka ngezinto ozifundisiwe” (NgokukaLuka 1:3-4). Akafuni ukugeza ukubhala kwakhe kuma-pathos. Kunalokho, ubhala ukuze siqonde iqiniso. Ngakho-ke ukuphefumula kukaJesu kokufa kulandiswa kithi ngomusho olula: “Waphefumula okokugcina.”

Lokho uLuka afuna sihlale kukho ukulawula kukaJesu phezu kokuphefumula Kwakhe kokugcina. Wakhetha ukunikela umoya Wakhe ezandleni zikaBaba Wakhe ezinothando. Wayazi ukuthi umsebenzi Wakhe wawusuphelile. Isono sakhokhwa, ikhethini ladatshulwa, futhi abantu Bakhe babekwazi ukuza ebukhoneni bukaYise phakade. Ngokuhambisana nakho konke uJesu akusho ngaphambi kokubethelwa Kwakhe, amazwi Akhe okugcina ayawuphikisa umbono wokuthi ukufa Kwakhe kwakumane nje kungokwesisulu esingenakuzisiza esigajwe izimo ezinonya. Wayetshele abafundi Bakhe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambili ukuthi wayekhuphukela eJerusalema nokuthi “iNdodana yomuntu kufanele ihlupheke ngokuningi ... futhi ibulawe” (NgokukaLuka 9:22). UJohane usitshela ukuthi wayebachazele, “Ngidela ukuphila kwami ukuze ngibuye ngikuthathe. Akakho ongangamuka kona, kodwa mina ngikubeka phansi ngokwami; Nginegunya lokukubeka phansi, futhi nginegunya lokukuthatha futhi” (NgokukaJohane 10:17-18).

UJesu waya esiphambanweni engazi lutho kodwa ngokuthanda kwakhe. Ngokuvumelana nenjongo kaBaba, Wakhetha umzuzu oqondile lapho ayezodela ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yezimvu Zakhe (NgokukaJohane 10:11). Lapha-ke, sibona yena kanye uMsunguli wokuphila ethatha umoya Wakhe wokugcina ngokuzithandela futhi esikhumbuza ngegunya Lakhe eliphelele kanye nothando Lwakhe olungapheli. “Waphefumula okokugcina” ukuze uphefumule umoya ohlanzekile, ocwengekile owanikezwa wena ngesikhathi uzalwa kabusha. “Waphefumula okokugcina” ukuze ngolunye usuku ume ekudalweni okubuyiselwe futhi uphefumulele umoya emaphashini angasoze abola noma abhubhe. Lowo ophethe umoya owuphefumulayo uphefumule okokugcina. Akafanele lutho ngaphandle kokudumisa nokudunyiswa kwakho.
