Indoda Ephakathi NEsiphambano: Uhlelo lokufunda iPhasika Lezinsuku Ezingu-7Isampula

ISIPHAMBANO SIYASIVULA AMEHLO

“Kwathi induna yekhulu ibona okwenzekileyo yamdumisa uNkulunkulu, ithi: ‘Ngempela lo muntu ulungile.’” NGOKUKALUKA 23: 47 (ESV)

Asizange sisiqonde isiphambano ngaphandle kokuthi siguqule thina uqobo.

Ngemva kokuba uJesu “ephefumule okokugcina” (NgokukaLuka 23:46), uLuka usilobela ukusabela kwalabo ababona ukubethelwa esiphambanweni. “Zonke izixuku ezazibuthene kulo mbukiso, lapho zibona okwakwenzekile, zabuyela emakhaya zishaya izifuba zazo” (v 48). Yebo, kwaba khona ukudabuka, kodwa lapho umbukwane usuphelile, bahamba ukuze baqhubeke nempilo yabo. Ivesi 49 libe selisazisa ukuthi “bonke ababemazi… Kodwa ukusabela okuphawuleka kakhulu nokuthinta komuntu siqu kunakho konke uLuka akuthwebulayo kwakungokwenduna yekhulu engumRoma, eyathi, ibona okwakwenzekile, “yadumisa uNkulunkulu, ithi: ‘Ngempela lo muntu ulungile.’”—noma, njengoba i-NIV ikubeka, “Impela lo bekuyindoda elungile.”

Lapha, phakathi kobumnyama babaholi benkolo abangabazenzisi, ababusi abangenangqondo, nabadlula ngendlela abangenaluzwela, kukhona inhlansi yokukhanya. Mhlawumbe umuntu wokugcina esingalindela ukubona iqiniso—indoda eyayingakaze ihlangane noJesu ngaphambili, engenalwazi ngezifundo zeTestamente Elidala, futhi engenakho ukuthambekela ezintweni zikaNkulunkulu—akazange nje abambe lokho ayekubuka kodwa wasabela mathupha kukho. . Wabona “okwakwenzekile”—amazwi kaJesu, ubumnyama obuphezu komhlaba, indlela yokufa Kwakhe—futhi waqaphela, Nangu umuntu ojwayelekile. Nansi indoda ehlukile kuwo wonke amanye amadoda. Nansi indoda emsulwa ngokuphelele, elungile ngokuphelele. Ngempela, uMarku wengeza ngokuthi induna yekhulu yavuma ukuthi indoda esiphambanweni “yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu” (NgokukaMarku 15:39).

Ngeso lakhe lemininingwane, uLuka ugcizelela ngokucacile ekuboneni okwenzeka esiphambanweni. Cishe wayethemba ukuthi abanye abafundi bazokhumbula ukuthi lapho uJesu esefunde umqulu ka-Isaya ekuqaleni kwenkonzo Yakhe, wayethe, “UMoya weNkosi … ungigcobile ukuba ngishumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu . . . izithunjwa nokubona kwezimpumputhe” (Luka 4:18). Ngempela, isihloko esikhulu esitholakala kulo lonke iVangeli likaLuka yileso sobumnyama obungenwa ukukhanya—ukudideka nobulukhuni bezinhliziyo nezingqondo zabantu kuhlasela amandla akhululayo eqiniso likaNkulunkulu.

Noma yimuphi umzamo wokuchaza ubuKristu obuphika ubuphakathi besiphambano awusoze waholela okholweni olusindisayo. Futhi nakuba singaqondi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi uMoya uhamba kanjani ekuholeni amadoda nabesifazane ukuba bazalwe kabusha, umlayezo wethu kufanele uhlale ufana naphakade: “UKristu obethelwe esiphambanweni” (1 Korinte 1:23). Ukubuka isiphambano esiletha ukuphila kunoma ubani ophendula umuntu owayelenga lapho ngokuvuma ukuthi ungubani futhi adumise uNkulunkulu ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokusindisa. Ngaphandle uma futhi kuze kube isiphambano siqu kithi, akusizi ngalutho kithi. Ngakho, wagcina nini ukubuka uMsindisi wakho esiphambanweni futhi wadumisa uNkulunkulu?

• UNkulunkulu ungibiza kanjani ukuthi ngicabange ngendlela ehlukile?
• UNkulunkulu uhlela kanjani kabusha uthando lwenhliziyo yami—engikuthandayo?
• UNkulunkulu ungibizele ukuba ngenzeni njengoba ngiqhubeka nosuku lwami namuhla?
