Cinga namhlanje ngeendlela ozibona ngayo iindaba ezilungileyo
UHerode wayemoyika uYohane, emazi ukuba uyindoda elilungisa, engcwele, wayemgcinile elugcinweni. Xa wayemva ethetha wayedidekile, kodwa wayethanda ukummamela. UMarko 6:20
Ngokufanelekileyo, xa igospile ishunyayelwa kwaye yamkelwe ngomnye, isiphumo kukuba umamkeli uzaliswa luvuyo, intuthuzelo kunye nomnqweno wokutshintsha. Igospile iyatshintsha kwabo bamameleyo kwaye baphendule ngesisa. Kodwa kuthekani ngabo bangaphenduliyo ngesisa? Igospile ibachaphazela njani? Igospile yethu namhlanje isinika le mpendulo.
Umgca ongentla uvela kwibali lokunqunyulwa kukaSt. Abadlali ababi kweli bali nguHerode, umfazi ongekho mthethweni kaHerode Herodias, kunye nentombi kaHerodiya (ngokwesiko ebizwa ngokuba nguSalome). UJohn wayevalelwe nguHerode kuba uYohane wathi kuHerode: "Akukho semthethweni ukuba nomfazi womntakwenu." Kodwa eyona nto inomdla ngeli bali kukuba, nasejele, uHerode wayimamela intshumayelo kaJohn. Endaweni yokuba akhokele uHerode kuguquko, "wayemangalisiwe" koko kwakushunyayelwa nguYohane.
"Ukudideka" yayingekuphela kwendlela abasabela ngayo abashumayeli bakaYohane. Impendulo kaHerodias yayiyenye yentiyo. Wayebonakala ekhathazekile kukugwetywa nguJohn "umtshato" wakhe kuHerode, kwaye yayinguye owamisela ukuba uYohane anqunyulwe intloko.
Le vangeli ke ngoko isifundisa iimpendulo ezimbini ezifanayo kwinyaniso yevangeli engcwele xa ishunyayelwa. Enye intiyo kwaye enye kukudideka (ukudideka). Ewe inzondo imbi kakhulu kunokudideka. Kodwa nkqu nokusabela ngokuchanekileyo kumazwi eNyaniso.
Iyintoni impendulo yakho kwivangeli epheleleyo xa ishunyayelwa? Ngaba ikhona imiba yevangeli ekwenza ungonwabi? Ngaba zikhona iimfundiso zeNkosi yethu ezikudidayo okanye ezikukhokelele emsindweni? Kuqala jonga entliziyweni yakho ukufumanisa ukuba unengxaki yokuphendula ngendlela efanayo nekaHerode noHerodiya. Kwaye ke jonga indlela umhlaba osabela ngayo kwinyaniso yevangeli. Akufanele simangaliswe konke konke ukuba sifumana ooHerode noHerodiya abaninzi besaphila namhlanje.
Cinga namhlanje ngeendlela ozibona ngayo iindaba ezilungileyo zisaliwa kwinqanaba elinye okanye kwelinye. Ukuba uziva le nto entliziyweni yakho, guquka ngawo onke amandla akho.
