NgeCawa yesithandathu ngexesha eliqhelekileyo: phakathi kwabokuqala ukungqina
UMarko usixelela ukuba ummangaliso wokuqala wokuphilisa owenzeka xa ukubamba kwakhe kwavumela umdala ogulayo ukuba aqalise ukulungiselela. Kungekudala emva koko, wonke umntu kwidolophu awazalelwa kuyo uYesu wafuna uncedo olunamandla. Eli yayilixesha elifanelekileyo lokuba iqhawe lendawo liqokelele isihlwele esithandanayo. Xa udumo olukhawulezileyo lwashukumisela uYesu ukuba aye kuthandaza kwaye abafundi bakhe bazama ukumbuyisa, wabamema ukuba bamlandele kwimishini enkulu kunokuba babenokucinga. Ukuba u Yesu wayefuna ukungqina ukuba ukuthandwa yayingeyiyo injongo yakhe, ukuchukumisa umntu oneqhenqa kwasebenza. Masimamele eli bali kwaye sikhumbule abangcwele abangaqhelekanga abanjengoFrancis waseAssisi kunye noMama Teresa ababesenza izinto ezifanayo ngamaxesha abo. Kodwa uvelwano lukaYesu kunye namandla akhe okuphilisa kuphela kweyona milinganiselo icacileyo yebali. Ukubeka esi siganeko kwimeko, sinokukhumbula ukuba uninzi lwabantu bexesha likaYesu babenemfundiso ethembekileyo yomvuzo kunye nesohlwayo, bekholelwa ukuba indalo iphela isebenza kumthetho wekarma ovuza okuhle kwaye wohlwaya ububi. Le nkolelo ingamkeleka kakhulu kwizityebi: "abantu abasikelelweyo" banokuthatha uzuko ngempilo yabo entle, ubutyebi, kunye namanye amalungelo ahlukeneyo okanye ithamsanqa.
Uqikelelo oluvela ngokusisiseko kule mfundiso kukuba abantu abaneentsilelo kwezentlalo (cinga ubuhlwempu, ukugula, ukukhubazeka ngokwasengqondweni, imvelaphi yeklasi ehlazekileyo, ibala lolusu, isini okanye isazisi) banoxanduva lokuncipha kuluntu. Ukubeka ngokulula, iba yindlela yokuba izityebi zithi, "Ndiyaphila, uyinkunkuma." UYesu akazange avume ukubanjiswa kuloo mgangatho ungqongqo. Xa umntu oneqhenqa weza kuye, uYesu waphendula ngentlonipho eyathi kwangaxeshanye yasamkela isidima somntu kwaye yagxeka ubukhethe boluntu. UYesu akazange aphilise umntu kuphela, wabonisa indlela enye inkqubo yentlalo esebenza ngayo. Ukuchukumisa kukaYesu yayiyisakramente yokuphilisa, umqondiso wobudlelane kunye nesibhengezo sokuba le ndoda ikwazi ngokupheleleyo ukungqina umsebenzi kaThixo emhlabeni. Xa uYesu wayithumela le ndoda kumfundisi, wayewuphinda kabini umyalezo wakhe weendaba ezilungileyo. Kwinqanaba lenkolo, uYesu wabonisa intlonipho kumbingeleli, igunya lenkolo elinokuthi umntu uphilile kwaye angathatha inxaxheba ekuhlaleni. Ngaphantsi kokuyalelwa nguYesu, le ndoda yamema umbingeleli ukuba enze umsebenzi wakhe wokwakha uluntu. Kwinqanaba elisezantsi, u-Yesu wamyalela umntu ukuba abe ngumvangeli, umntu owayenembonakalo yakhe evakalisa ubukho bobukumkani bukaThixo kwaye wagxeka izenzo ezizodwa ezithanda abanye kunabanye. Umyalelo kaYesu wokuba le ndoda iye kumbingeleli ngaphambi kokuxelela nabani na ongomnye usebenze njengesimemo kwiinkokeli; Banokuba phakathi kwabokuqala ukungqina oko kwakusenziwa nguThixo ngaye. Ukuba sifuna ukuphonononga ukuba esi siganeko sisixelela ntoni, singazibuza ukuba ingaba abafundi bakaYesu abasandul 'ukuqala babeza kucinga ntoni ngeli xesha.Izinto zibonakala ngathi ziqale kakuhle xa beshiya iminatha yabo ukuze babukele uYesu esoyisa umtyholi kwaye ephilisa abagulayo. Mhlawumbi bavumile ukumlandela kule ndawo, ngakumbi ngenxa yendlela udumo lwakhe olubonakala ngayo kubo. Kodwa ke izinto zaba semngciphekweni. Wathini ngabo xa inkosi yabo yachukumisa abo baneqhenqa? Ke kwakutheni ukuze le nkwenkwana yayimazi uYesu umzuzu nje ithunyelwe njengembangi yeendaba ezilungileyo? Ngaba khange bahlawule malungelo abo ngokushiya iibhedi zabo kunye neenqanawa? Akufunekanga ukuba bathunyelwe ubuncinci ukuba bakhaphe umntu asebenza naye ukuze aqiniseke ukuba wayeyiqonda ngokuchanekileyo imfundiso yenkolo?
UYesu wayezijonga ngenye indlela izinto. Ngokwembono kaYesu, ukungabi nalwazi kunye namava kwale ndoda iphilisiweyo kwamenza ukuba abe ngaphezu kwabafundi ababecinga ukuba sele bemqonda uYesu. wandichukumisa, wandiphilisa. UYesu wathumela le ndoda iphilisiweyo ukuba iye kushumayela igosa lezenkolo. Ngokwenza oko, uYesu wafundisa abalandeli bakhe isifundo sokuqala sokuthobeka ukuze babe ngabafundi. UYesu wayichukumisa le ndoda, wayiphilisa, wayinika umyalelo wokuba ibhengeze: "UThixo undenzele izinto ezintle; ukususela ngoku zonke izizukulwana ziya kuthi ndinoyolo." Umthunywa waba ngumyalezo. Iindaba ezimnandi zale ndoda iphilisiweyo yayikukuba uThixo akafuni ukuba nabani na abekelwe bucala. Ubabalo lwakhe yayikukuba iVangeli yakhe yavela kumava osindiso ashiya imfundiso yenkolo ingathethi. Amandla akhe kunye nesibindi sakhe sasiza kuvela ngonaphakade kukwazi ukuba uyathandwa kwaye wamkelwe kwaye akukho mntu kwaye akukho nto inokuze imsuse. Amabali okuqala kaMark okuphilisa abonisa ukuba umyalezo wokuvangela kwabafundi kufuneka uvele xa udibana nemfesane kaKristu. Abathunywa ngokwabo baba ngumyalezo ukuya kuthi ga apho bakhonza ngokuthobekileyo kwaye babhengeza uthando olungenamda lukaThixo.
