Thola i App1 kaPetruIsampula
UPetru, omunye wabafundi bakaJesu, ufinyelela kumphakathi wamakholwa osakazeke kulo lonke elase-Asia Minor—lopho manje esikubizwa ngokuthi iTurkey.Kungenzeka ukuthi la makholwa kwakungabeZizwe nezakhamuzi zoMbuso WaseRoma, kodwa uPetru ubabiza ngokuthi “abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu abadingisiwe.” Bangabezizwe abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekile futhi bahlakazeka kuwo wonke uMbuso.
Ngalokhu kukhethwa kwamagama uPetru ufaka ngamabomu abeZizwe abangabezizwe endabeni yabantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiwe, amaJuda. Njengoba uNkulunkulu akhetha u-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ukhethe lamaRoma. Futhi njengoba amaJuda ayehlakazwe uMbuso WaseBabiloni, laba abakholelwa kuJesu bahlakazeka eMbusweni WamaRoma. Kodwa uPeter akaqhathanisi nje umlando ofanayo wezenhlalakahle nezombusazwe. Uthi abeZizwe bakhethwe nguNkulunkulu njengamaJuda. Indaba yokudingiswa nokubuya ekudingisweni ewumgogodla wendaba kwa-Israyeli manje sekuyindaba uNkulunkulu ayibhalela bonke abantu
Wonke umuntu okholwa kuJesu ungowokudingiswa. Akekho umKristu onesakhamuzi kuleli zwe ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhethe ukusinikeza uMbuso kuye. UPetru uyanezela ukuthi sikhethwe ngokwaziwa ngaphambilini nguNkulunkulu uBaba, ngomsebenzi wokungcwelisa kaMoya, kukho kokubili ukulalela nokufafazwa ngegazi. Ngamunye waleyo mishwana uyingxenye yokubophela abeZizwe endabeni yabantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiwe. Kusukela u-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu wayazi futhi wakhetha abadingiswa ukuba babusise umhlaba. Umoya kaNkulunkulu wakhetha u-Israyeli ukuba abe yikhaya lakhe lapho ehlela etabernakele labo. Ngosuku u-Israyeli eba isizwe, abantu bakaNkulunkulu bathembisa ukulalela, kwase uMose wabafafaza ngegazi. Njengoba uIsrayeli eba yisizwe lapho efafazwa ngegazi, wonke umuntu othemba igazi likaJesu uba isizwe esisha.
UNkulunkulu usikhethele ukudingiswa. Sikhethiwe ukuthi singabi abalendawo, futhi lezo yizindaba ezinhle. U-Petru uthi ubuwena obusha njengokudingiswa bubuye busho ukuthi sesihlanganiswe nomndeni omusha. Sifile esizweni esizalelwe kuso, kodwa sazalwa kabusha emndenini waphakade owasungulwa uBaba onothando nempilo yokuvuka. Futhi njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu-kanye nezelamani zikaJesu-sinikwe ifa elingenakufa, elingenakulahlwa ebubini, elihlala inguna phakade, futhi lilondolozwe nguNkulunkulu uqobo. Ukungabi khona kwezwe kuyisizathu sokujabula lapho kusho ukuba abomdabu eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Futhi njengeningi labantu bangaphandle sizohlupheka ngenxa yobuzwe bethu. Kuyo yonke incwadi yakhe, uPetru uzoveza “okunye” okungokokuziphatha nokungokomoya okuhambisana nokulandela uJesu. Kodwa okwamanje uPetru usikhumbuza ukuthi ukungajwayelekile emhlabeni kuwubufakazi bokuthi siyizakhamuzi ezulwini. Ukushushiswa akusona isizathu sokuphelelwa ithemba; ukulingwa kuyisizathu sokujabula. Asizona izisulu zokushushiswa njengoba igolide liyisisulu somlilo. Thina Singajabula ngoba ukuhlupheka kuyasihlanza futhi kubonise ubuqiniso bokholo lwethu.
Abalandeli bakaJesu bazohlupheka. Ngokuqinisekile uJesu wakwenza kodwa kwaholela enkazimulweni—ukuphila kwabafileyo nasesihlalweni sobukhosi noNkulunkulu. Futhi nakuba singakamboni uJesu ngokwethu, lapho simethemba futhi simthanda, singajabula. Abashushisi bethu bangalokothi babe nezwi lokugcina ngoba ukusindiswa kwethu akuyona into abangayilimaza. Njengoba uPetru asho ngaphambilini, asikho isizwe noma umuntu ongabulala, onakalise, noma asule lokho uNkulunkulu akugadele kona wena.
Ukuhlupheka okuwukuhlenga kanye nokuba umdingiswa okhethiwe kuyiqiniso elimsulwa kodwa elinamandla. Umphrofethi wamanga eTestamenteni Elidala wahlola ngokucophelela imiBhalo ezama ukukuthola. Ngisho nezingelosi zazizama ukuze zithole amazwibela endlela uNkulunkulu aguqula ngayo ukuhlupheka kube inkazimulo nenjabulo. Kodwa lokho abaprofethi nezingelosi abazama ukukubona, sikubona ngokucacile kuJesu. Ukuhlupheka kwakhe kwaholela ovukweni nasekufeni kwakhe kona kwaholela enkazimulweni. Ngenxa kaJesu, siyazi ukuthi kuwo wonke amakholwa, ukuhlupheka nokufa kuhlale kuholela efeni elikhazimulayo elihlala phakade futhi elingasoze labuna.
Sengathi Umoya Ongcwele ungavula amehlo akho ukuze ubone uNkulunkulu osikhethile ukuba sibe ngabadingiswa. Futhi sengathi ungabona uJesu njengalowo ohlenga ukuhlupheka kwethu futhi asenze umndeni ngegazi nokuvuka kwakhe.

Ngencwadi yakhe egxile ethembeni ayibhalela ibandla lekhulu lokuqala, uPetru usikhuthaza ukuba sithembele futhi silalele, sihlale sigxilile okholweni lwethu njengoba sikhuthazelela izilingo noshushiso. Usikhumbuza ukuthi ngenxa yalokho esiyikho kuKristu, sinikwa amandla okuphila izimpilo ezingcwele, futhi singabheka phambili ekutholeni ifa laphakade.
