Cinga namhlanje ngento yokuba uThixo uyakumema ukuba uphile ubomi obutsha bobabalo kuye
Wayizisa kuYesu, waza uYesu wamjonga, wathi: “Wena unguSimon, unyana kaYohane. uya kubizwa ngokuba unguKefas ”(oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, unguPetros. UYohane 1:42
Kule ndawo, umpostile uAndreya usa umntakwabo uSimon kuYesu emva kokuxelela uSimon ukuba ufumene uMesiya. Ngokukhawuleza uYesu ubamkela bobabini njengabapostile emva koko atyhilele uSimon ukuba ubunikazi bakhe buza kutshintshwa ngoku. Ngoku iya kubizwa ngokuba nguKefas. "UKefas" ligama lesiAramiki elithetha "iliwa". EsiNgesini, eli gama liqhele ukuguqulelwa njengo "Peter".
Xa umntu enikwe igama elitsha, oku kuhlala kuthetha ukuba banikwa imishini entsha kunye nobizo olutsha ebomini. Umzekelo, kwisithethe sobuKristu, sifumana amagama amatsha ekubhaptizweni okanye ekuqinisekisweni. Ngapha koko, xa indoda okanye umfazi esiba yimonki okanye unongendi, bahlala benikwa igama elitsha ukubonisa ubomi obutsha ababizelwe ukuba babuphile.
USimon unikwa igama elitsha elithi "Iliwa" kuba uYesu uzimisele ukumenza isiseko secawe yakhe yexesha elizayo. Olu tshintsho lwamagama lutyhila ukuba uSimon kufuneka abe sisidalwa esitsha kuKristu ukufezekisa ubizo lwakhe oluphezulu.
Kunjalo ke nangomnye wethu. Hayi, asinakubizwa ukuba sibe ngupopu olandelayo okanye ubishophu, kodwa elowo kuthi ubizelwe ukuba abe yindalo entsha kuKristu kwaye aphile ubomi obutsha ngokuzalisekisa uthumo olutsha. Kwaye, ngandlela thile, obu bomi butsha kufuneka benziwe mihla le. Kufuneka sizabalazele yonke imihla ukufezekisa imishini esiyinikwa nguYesu ngendlela entsha yonke imihla.
Cinga namhlanje ngento yokuba uThixo uyakumema ukuba uphile ubomi obutsha bobabalo kuYe. Unemishini emitsha aza kuyifeza yonke imihla kwaye uthembisa ukukunika yonke into oyifunayo ukuze uphile. Yithi "Ewe" kwifowuni akunika yona kwaye uya kubona izinto ezimangalisayo zisenzeka ebomini bakho.
Nkosi Yesu, ndithi "Ewe" kuwe nakubizo ondinike lona. Ndamkela ubomi obutsha bobabalo obundilungiselele bona kwaye ndamkela ngovuyo isimemo sakho sobabalo. Ndincede, Nkosi ethandekayo, ukuphendula yonke imihla kubizo oluzukileyo kubomi bobabalo endibunikiweyo. UYesu ndiyakholelwa kuwe.
