1 kaPetruIsampula
Amakhosikazi akholwayo, izigqila nezakhamuzi ezingamaKristu bayalinyazwa ngenxa yokwethembeka kwabo kuJesu. Into elula ukuyenza ukuziphindiselela. Kodwa uPetru uthi kungcono ukuhlupheka ngenxa yokwenza okuhle kunokuthola ngisho nangokwenza okubi. Phela, abantu bakaNkulunkulu babizelwe ukuba babe isibusiso emhlabeni hhayi isiqalekiso. Ecaphuna iHubo 34, uPetru uthi ukuphila okuhle kulandela kuphela labo abagwema okubi. Ecaphuna uJesu, uPetru uthi labo abahlupheka ngenxa yokulunga bayobusiswa. Ukwenza okuhle esimweni sokungabi nabulungiswa kuyindlela kaJesu.
Ngokwenqaba ukuphindisela kubamangaleli bakhe, uJesu usiletha ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Uma kuyindlela esisindiswe ngayo, yileyo ndlela okufanele senze ngayo kubamangaleli bethu. Futhi ngendlela efanayo ukuvuka kukaJesu kwabafileyo kwajabhisa amandla aseRoma, ukufa, nesihogo, ubumnene nenhlonipho yethu kungabahlazisa labo abasihlebayo nabasishushisayo.
UPetru ube esekhumbuza abantu bakhe ukuthi ukungqubuzana phakathi kwamandla amabi angokomoya nawabantu kanye nabantu bakaNkulunkulu bekulokhu kuqhubeka kusukela ekuqaleni. Kodwa lokho kungqubuzana kuhlale kwenzeka ngendlela efanayo: uNkulunkulu usindisa abakhe futhi uhlazisa ububi. Lapho uNkulunkulu ethumela uzamcolo, wasindisa uNowa nomndeni wakhe kodwa wahlazisa Amandla ombuso. Futhi njengoba abantu ababi besikhathi sika Nowa baminza ngaphansi komkhumbi, wonke Amandla nobukhosi bubekiwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zika Jesu. Ukwenza okuhle esimweni sobubi kuyindlela yensindiso.
Ukuhlupheka ngaphansi kobubi kodwa ukuvuswa emandleni kuwumbono omusha wezwe wabalandeli bakaJesu. Sizongezwani futhi size sishushiswe abantu esihlala nabo. Kodwa iVangeli lithi noma sifa, siyovuswa.
Ukuhlupheka ngenxa yokulunga akusona isimanga. Abalandeli bakaJesu kufanele balindele ukushushiswa ngenxa yokuphila njengoJesu. Kodwa kwabashushiswayo, ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu ngokungafanele akusona nje isibonelo kodwa kuyisibonelo. Lapho sihlupheka njengoJesu, nathi siyovuswa njengaye. Lapho sihlupheka ngokuhle hhayi okubi, asisoze saba namahloni. Singafa ngokungesabi endleleni yokuphila endala, embi, neziphindiselela ngoba siyazi ukuthi sizovuswa futhi.
Singaphinde sife ezifisweni zethu zakudala. Kubantu bosuku lukaNowa, kwabeZizwe osukwini lukaPetru, kanye nomakhelwane bethu namuhla, kuyinqaba ukungahlanganyeli isiko locansi, ukuphuza, kanye nenkanuko. Ukungaphili njengomakhelwane bethu futhi siphile njengoJesu kunezindleko zezenhlalo, zezombangazwe, noma ezingokwenyama. Kodwa uPetru uyaphikelela ngokuthi njengoba nje uJesu ahlupheka ngaphansi kwesono sethu futhi wavuswa, futhi njengoba nje abenzi bokubi bacwila ngaphansi kukazamcolo futhi uNowa wasindiswa, ukuhlupheka ngenxa yokwenza okuhle kuholela ekuvukeni nasekusindisweni.
Uma uhlala ezweni elishaya umthetho omelene namaKristu, noma esikweni elibungaza ubuxhwanguxhwangu kanye nokuhlekisa ngokuziphatha kahle, noma ezweni elizonda abalandeli bakaJesu, ukuvuswa kugcwele yonke indawo. Konke ukushushiswa kuqinisekisa ukusindiswa kwethu, futhi konke ukufa kubekele ukuphila okuphakade. AmaKristu awazona izisulu emhlabeni ongawaqondi, kodwa njengoJesu, singabanqobi phezu kwawo wonke amandla. Kungakho kungcono ukuhlupheka ngokwenza okuhle.
Sengathi uMoya oNgcwele uvule amehlo akho ukuze ubone uNkulunkulu owahlulela ngokulunga. Futhi sengathi ungabona uJesu njengoMsindisi ovusiwe owahlupheka ngenxa yokwenza okuhle ukuze sivuke kanye naye kwabafileyo.
