Ungubani uJesu?Isampula

Izinkwa Nezinhlanzi

Uke wayibona ifilimu ye-Disney, “The Prince of Egypt?”

Ngizokhuluma iqiniso — akuyona i-Aladdin. 

Ngisho i-Lion King yayiyifilimu engcono. 

Kodwa, ngokungafani no-Aladdin noma i-Lion King, I-Prince of Egypt yayisekelwe ngokukhululekile endabeni yeqiniso etholakala eBhayibhelini—indaba ka-Eksodusi.  

Encwadini yeTestamente Elidala ka-Eksodusi, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa uMose ukuze akhulule abantu Bakhe ebugqilini baseGibhithe. Khona-ke ama-Israyeli azithola ezulazula ehlane ekhathele, engcolile, futhi elambile. Bakhononda ngokuntuleka kokudla ngakho uNkulunkulu uthumela “imana” livela ezulwini, okusho ukuthi ngolimi lwesiHeberu, “Liyini?” 

Konke lokhu kulandisa kuyingxenye enkulu yendaba yeBhayibheli. 

Kodwa ungase ubuze, “i-Eksodusi ihlangene ngani nendaba esisanda kuyifunda emaVangelini?” 

Impendulo isongwe esinkweni. 

KuJohane 6 abantu bazithola besehlane bengenakudla. UJesu ubheka phezulu ezulwini ngomthandazo, futhi isinkwa siyehla ngokuyisimangaliso sihlinzekiwe. 

Ingabe lokho kuzwakala kujwayelekile? 

Siphinde sibe nesinkwa esahlinzekelwa abantu bakaNkulunkulu ehlane ngokuyisimangaliso. 

Ngakho-ke lokhu kusitshelani ngobuntu bukaJesu kumongo wesu likaNkulunkulu elembulekayo emlandweni?

UMose wabhala ngomprofethi omkhulu kunaye, umholi omangalisayo nommeleli kaNkulunkulu, owayeza esikhathini esizayo. UJesu ugcwalisa leso sithembiso futhi uletha ukukhululwa okukhulu nakakhulu. UJesu uzofana noMose omusha ohola i-Exodusi entsha ukuze akhulule abantu bakaNkulunkulu ebugqilini besono. Futhi, njengoMsindisi othenjisiwe kaNkulunkulu uyoholela abantu Bakhe eZweni Lesithembiso lokugcina, izulu elisha likaNkulunkulu nomhlaba omusha, futhi anikeze ukudla okungokomoya ukuze asekele abantu Bakhe kuze kube yilolo suku!

Indaba esisanda kuyifunda isinika isibonelo sokuthi uNkulunkulu umema abantu abafana nathi ukuthi babe yingxenye yohlelo lwakhe. 

Lomfana ongenagama wayengazibuthela ukudla kwakhe. Wayengakugcina ukudla kwakhe, kodwa wayeyogeja isimangaliso sikaNkulunkulu. Kunalokho wayevule izandla futhi ephana, okwamvumela ukuba abe yingxenye yento enkulu kunaye! 

Ungaphuthelwa yilokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo emhlabeni ngoba inhliziyo yakho nezandla zakho kuvaliwe kuye nakwabanye abantu. Ungashintshi isimangaliso ngokudla okuncane, noma ukuvikeleka okusheshayo ukuze uthole umthelela wesikhathi eside embusweni kaNkulunkulu. 

Kunalokho, zibuze, yini esezandleni zakho? Yimaphi amathalente, iziphiwo, amakhono kanye nezinsiza uNkulunkulu akunike zona? Kungase kungabonakali kangako, kodwa uNkulunkulu wethu akadingi okuningi ukwenza isimangaliso—udinga izinkwa ezinhlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili kuphela. 

Ngamanye amazwi, Yena udinga kuphela lokho okusezandleni zakho.
