Thola i AppUKristu Indlovukazi Yethu Yokugcina U-EsteriIsampula
Ukungabi namandla ngokwethu.
Mina nomndeni wami sake sachitha iholidi endaweni yokungcebeleka ebhishi. Okwajabulisa izingane zami, indawo yokuvakasha yayinechibi lokubhukuda elimangalisayo. Angikwazi ukubhukuda, kodwa ngesizathu esixakile ngolunye usuku ekuseni nganquma ukugxumela phakathi. Lokhu kwakuwubuwula! Ngokushesha ngaqala ukuminza. Enye yamadodana ami yangiqaphela nginyakaza futhi ngobuqhawe - ngiyabonga! – wangena wangisindisa.
Umuntu ominzayo, njengoba ngangiminza, akadingi isifundo sokubhukuda kumuntu omi kude onqenqemeni lwechibi. Umuntu ocwile emanzini, ocwilayo udinga umuntu othi uma ebona ukungabi namandla komuntu ogwilizayo azibonele bese egxuma angenelele adonsele ominzayo endaweni ephephile.
Yilokho incwadi ka-Esteri ekhuluma ngakho. Indaba ka-Esteri ihambisana nevangeli futhi iyisithombe esimangalisayo sokuhlengwa kwethu komoya ngoJesu.
Okokuqala, le ncwadi iveza ukungabi namandla kwethu okungenathemba—ukungakwazi kwethu ukuzisindisa esonweni nasekufeni. Okwesibili, iskhumbuza ngokuhlotshaniswa kukaKristu nathi ngokuba senyameni Kwakhe. Okwesithathu, kuveza ukungenela kukaKristu, ngokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe, ukuze asizuzele ukuphila okuphakade.
Namuhla sizobheka iqiniso lokuqala: sizalelwa kulo mhlaba sithwele ifa lokufa komoya esingenamandla okuliguqula noma ukulihlehlisa.
Izehlakalo ezisencwadini ka-Esteri zenzeka enhloko-dolobha yoMbuso WasePheresiya - amandla amakhulu angaleso sikhathi - ngesikhathi sokubusa kweNkosi u-Xerxes. Ngaleso sikhathi, amaJuda ayedingisiwe ayesakazeke kuwo wonke uMbuso WasePheresiya. Ngokuthakazelisayo, u-Esteri uwukuphela kwencwadi yeBhayibheli igama likaNkulunkulu elingashiwongo kuyo. Nomthandazo awushiwo. Nokho sibona ubukhosi bukaNkulunkulu obungenakuphikwa busebenza ngemuva kwezehlakalo zesizwe ukuze kulungiswe umlando nokuvikela abantu Bakhe.
Kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni, u-Esther uyindaba ethinta inhliziyo. Esahlukweni 1, iNdlovukazi uVashiti ikhishwa esikhundleni ngenxa yokwenqaba ukubukiswa phambi kweqembu lenkosi labesilisa bonke. Esahlukweni 2, sihlangana no-Esteri, intandane, noMoridekayi, umzala wakhe omdala owamkhulisa. Bayinzalo yamaJuda ayegcinwe ekuthunjweni kwasePheresiya eminyakeni eyi-100 ngaphambili. U-Esteri ukhethwa njengomunye wezintombi ezizocatshangelwa esikhundleni sikaVashiti. Uthola umusa enkosini futhi uthweswa umqhele wokuba indlovukazi. Ngokulandelayo, uHamani uba isekela likamongameli futhi wenza ukuba wonke umuntu akhothame kuye. Nokho, uMoridekayi akakwenzi lokho. UHamani uthukuthele. Akanqumi nje ukubulala uMoridekayi kodwa ukuqothula wonke amaJuda embusweni.
Ekupheleni kwesahluko sesithathu sika-Esteri, amaJuda ayengasenamandla okwenza lutho ngesiphetho sawo. Ekupheleni kwesahluko sesithathu sikaGenesise, sasinjalo nathi. Sonke sizalwa siphambukile enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu futhi sifanele ukufa, asikwazi ukwenza lutho ukuguqula izimo zethu zomoya. Imisebenzi yethu yebandla ngeke isisindise. Ngeke futhi imfundo yethu noma ubuchwepheshe. NjengamaJuda osuku luka-Esteri, sidinga uMsindisi ozovela, asikhulule, futhi asenze sibuyisane noNkulunkulu. Makabongwe uNkulunkulu: Ufikile!
