Ukucamngca komhla: Iintsuku ezingama-40 entlango
IVangeli kaMarko yanamhlanje isinika ingxelo emfutshane yesilingo se UYesu entlango. UMateyu noLuka banikezela ngezinye iinkcukacha ezininzi, njengokulingwa kathathu kukaYesu nguSathana. Kodwa uMarko uchaza nje ukuba uYesu wakhokelelwa entlango iintsuku ezingamashumi amane kwaye wahendwa. “UMoya wamqhubela uYesu entlango, wahlala entlango iintsuku ezimashumi mane, ehendwa nguSathana. Wayephakathi kwamarhamncwa kwaye iingelosi zazimlungiselela ”. UMarko 1: 12–13
Yintoni enomdla ukuba uyiqaphele kukuba yayingu "Moya" owatyhalela uYesu entlango. UYesu akazange aye apho ngokuchasene nokuthanda kwakhe; Waya apho ngokukhululekileyo ngokwentando kaBawo naphantsi kwesikhokelo sikaMoya oyiNgcwele. Kungenxa yokuba uMoya wayezakukhokelela uYesu entlango ngeli xesha lika ukuzila ukutya, umthandazo kunye nesilingo?
Okokuqala, eli xesha lokulingwa lenzeka kwangoko emva kokuba uYesu ebhaptiziwe nguYohane. Nangona noYesu ngokwakhe wayengadingi ukuba abhaptizwe ngokwasemoyeni, ezi ziganeko zibini zisifundisa lukhulu. Inyani yile yokuba xa sikhetha ukulandela uKrestu kwaye sibhaptizwa, sifumana amandla amatsha okulwa nobubi. Ubabalo ukhona. Njengesidalwa esitsha kuKristu, unalo lonke ubabalo oludingayo lokoyisa ububi, isono kunye nesilingo. U-Yesu, ke ngoko, wasinika umzekelo ukusifundisa le nyaniso. Wabhaptizwa emva koko wakhokelela entlango ukuya kujongana nomubi ukuze asixelele ukuba nathi singamoyisa nobuxoki bakhe obungendawo. Ngelixa uYesu wayesentlango enyamezele ezi zilingo, "iingelosi zazimlungiselela." Kukwanjalo nakuthi. INkosi yethu ayisishiyi sodwa phakathi kwezilingo zethu zemihla ngemihla. Endaweni yoko, uhlala ethumela iingelosi zakhe ukuba zisikhonze kwaye zisincede soyise olu tshaba lubi.
Sesiphi esona silingo sakho sikhulu ebomini? Mhlawumbi ulwa nomkhwa wesono osilela kuwo amaxesha ngamaxesha. Mhlawumbi sisilingo senyama, okanye umzabalazo womsindo, uhanahaniso, ukunganyaniseki, okanye enye into. Nokuba siyintoni na isilingo sakho, yazi ukuba unayo yonke into oyifunayo ukuze woyise ngenxa yobabalo olunikwe lona ngoBhaptizo lwakho, lomelezwe luQinisekiso lwakho kwaye wondliwe rhoqo ngokuthatha kwakho inxaxheba kwi-Ekaristi eNgcwele. Cinga namhlanje malunga naziphi na izilingo onazo. Bona uMntu kaKristu ejongene nezo zilingo kunye nawe nakuwe. Yazi ukuba amandla akhe anikwe wena ukuba uyakholelwa kuye ngentembelo engagungqiyo.
