Ukucamngca komhla: uthando olunzulu lususa uloyiko
UYesu waxelela abafundi bakhe: "UNyana woMntu umelwe kukuba eve ubunzima kakhulu kwaye alahlwe ngamadoda amakhulu, ababingeleli abaziintloko nababhali, abulawe aze avuswe ngomhla wesithathu." ULuka 9: 22UYesu wayesazi ukuba uza kuva ubunzima, alahlwe kwaye abulawe. Ungalusebenzisa njani olo lwazi ukuba ubunokwazi ngekamva lakho? Uninzi lwabantu luya kugcwaliswa luloyiko kwaye luzikhathaze ngokuzama ukuluphepha. Kodwa hayi iNkosi yethu. Esi sicatshulwa singasentla sibonisa indlela awayezimisele ngayo ukwamkela umnqamlezo wakhe ngokuzithemba okungagungqiyo kunye nesibindi. Eli lelinye lamaxesha amaninzi uYesu aqala ngalo ukuxelela abafundi bakhe iindaba zentshabalalo yakhe ezayo. Kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha ethetha ngale ndlela, abafundi ubukhulu becala babethula okanye baphike. Siyakhumbula, umzekelo, enye yeendlela awasabela ngayo uSt.Peter xa wayephendula uxeleko lukaYesu lokuthanda kwakhe esithi: “Nakanye! Ayisoze yenzeke loo nto kuwe ”(Mateyu 16:22).

Into eqhubela uYesu ukuba athethe ngolweyiseko kunye nenkalipho luthando. Rhoqo, "uthando" luqondwa njengemvakalelo eyomeleleyo kwaye intle. Iyabonwa njengomtsalane kwinto ethile okanye uyithande ngamandla. Kodwa olu ayilo thando ngohlobo lwalo olunzima. Uthando lokwenyani lukhetho lokwenza eyona nto ilungele omnye umntu, nokuba zithini iindleko, nokuba kunzima kangakanani. Uthando lokwenene aluyomvakalelo efuna ukuzaliseka kokuzingca. Uthando lokwenene lungamandla angenakushukunyiswa afuna kuphela ukulungelwa kothandekayo. Uthando lukaYesu ngoluntu lwalomelele kangangokuba watyhalelwa ekufeni kwakhe okusemandleni amakhulu. Wayezimisele ngokuqinileyo ukunikela ngobomi bakhe ngenxa yethu sonke kwaye kwakungekho nto inokuze imthintele kuloo mishini. Ebomini bethu, kulula ukuba silibale ukuba luyintoni uthando lokwenene. Singabanjwa ngokulula yiminqweno yethu yokuzingca size sicinge ukuba le minqweno luthando. Kodwa abayiyo. Cinga namhlanje ngokuzimisela okungagungqiyo kweNkosi yethu ukusithanda sonke ngendlela yokuzincama ngokubandezeleka kakhulu, ukunyamezela ukwaliwa nokusweleka emnqamlezweni.
