UYesu ufuna ukukuphilisa kwaye abe nawe
UYesu wayibamba ngesandla imfama leyo, waphuma nayo; Ebeka amehlo akhe emehlweni akhe, wabeka izandla zakhe kuye, wabuza, "Uyabona nto?" Yiphakamise amehlo le ndoda yaphendula yathi: "Ndibona abantu abafana nemithi kwaye bahamba". Emva koko wabeka izandla zakhe emehlweni alo mntu okwesibini kwaye wabona ngokucacileyo; umbono wakhe wabuyiselwa kwaye wabona yonke into ngokucacileyo. UMarko 8: 23-25
Eli bali liyingqayizivele ngokwenene ngesizathu. Yahlukile kuba okokuqala uYesu wazama ukuphilisa indoda engaboniyo wasebenza nje isiqingatha. Wayekwazi ukubona emva komzamo wokuqala kaYesu wokuphilisa ubumfama bakhe, kodwa into awayibonayo "ngabantu ababekhangeleka ngathi yimithi behamba". UYesu wasebenzisa izandla zakhe okwesibini phezu kwamehlo ale ndoda ukuze aphiliswe ngokupheleleyo. Kuba?
Ngokuvisisanayo, kuzo zonke iiVangeli, xa uYesu ephilisa umntu, oku kwenziwa ngenxa yokholo abanalo kwaye babonakalisa. Ayikuko ukuba uYesu wayengenakunyanga umntu ngaphandle kokholo; Endaweni yoko, yile nto ayikhethileyo ukuba ayenze. Yenza ukuphilisa kuxhomekeke kukholo olupheleleyo.
Kweli bali lemimangaliso, indoda eyimfama ibonakala ngathi izithembile, kodwa hayi kakhulu. Ngenxa yoko, uYesu wenza into ebaluleke kakhulu. Ivumela umntu ukuba aphiliswe kuphela yinxalenye yokubonisa ukuswela kwakhe ukholo. Kodwa ikwasityhilela ukuba ukholo oluncinci lunokukhokelela kukholo olungakumbi. Indoda, yakuba ibonile kancinci, ngokucacileyo yaqala ukuyikholelwa kwakhona. Kwaye xa ukholo lwakhe lukhulile, uYesu wanyanzelisa kwakhona, ezalisa ukuphilisa kwakhe.
Onjani wona ukuba mhle umzekelo kuthi! Abanye abantu banokuthembela ngokupheleleyo kuThixo kuzo zonke izinto. Ukuba inguwe lowo, usikelelwe ngokwenene. Kodwa eli nyathelo lelabo banokholo kodwa besasokola. Kwabo bangena kolu luhlu, uYesu ubanika ithemba elininzi. Isenzo sokuphilisa le ndoda kabini ngokulandelelana kusixelela ukuba uYesu unomonde kwaye unenceba kwaye uyakuthatha okuncinci esinako kunye nokuncinci esikunikelayo kwaye akusebenzise kangangoko anakho. Uza kusebenza ukuguqula ukholo lwethu oluncinci ukuze sikwazi ukuthatha elinye inyathelo siye kuThixo kwaye sikhule elukholweni.
Kunokuthethwa into efanayo nangesono. Ngamanye amaxesha sineentlungu ezingafezekanga ngenxa yesono kwaye ngamanye amaxesha siyona kwaye asinabuhlungu, nangona siyazi ukuba ayilunganga. Ukuba nguwe, zama ukuthatha inqanaba elinye elincinci lokuphilisa uxolelo. Ubuncinci zama ukunqwenela ukuba uya kukhula kumnqweno wokuba nosizi. Inokuba yeyona nto iphantsi, kodwa uYesu uza kusebenza nayo.
Cinga ngale ndoda iyimfama namhlanje. Cinga ngale mpiliso iphindiweyo kunye nenguquko ephindwe kabini umntu ayenzayo. Yazi ukuba nguwe lo kwaye noYesu ufuna ukuthatha elinye inyathelo kwinkolo yakho nasekuguqukeni kwesono.
