UMgqibelo oNgcwele: ukuthula kwethuna
Namuhla kunokuthula okukhulu. UMsindisi ufile. Phumula ethuneni. Izinhliziyo eziningi zazigcwele izinhlungu ezingalawuleki nokudideka. Ngabe wayehambile ngempela? Ngabe onke amathemba abo ayephuliwe? Le neminye imicabango eminingi yokuphelelwa yithemba yagcwalisa izingqondo nezinhliziyo zabaningi ababemthanda futhi belandela uJesu.
Kulolu suku lapho sihlonipha khona iqiniso lokuthi uJesu wayesashumayela. Wehlela ezweni labafileyo, kuyo yonke imiphefumulo engcwele eyayihambe ngaphambi kwakhe, ukuze abalethe isipho sakhe sensindiso. Waletha isipho sakhe somusa nokuhlenga kuMose, u-Abrahama, abaprofethi kanye nabanye abaningi. Kwakuwusuku lwenjabulo enkulu kubo. Kepha usuku lobuhlungu obukhulu nokudideka kulabo ababone uMesiya wabo efa esiphambanweni.
Kuyasiza ukuzindla ngalokhu kungqubuzana okusobala. UJesu wayenza isenzo sakhe sokuhlenga, isenzo sothando esikhulu kunazo zonke ezake zaziwa, ngakho abaningi babedidekile futhi bephelelwe yithemba. Khombisa ukuthi izindlela zikaNkulunkulu ziphakeme kakhulu kunezindlela zethu. Okwabonakala njengokulahlekelwa okukhulu kwaphenduka ngokoqobo ekunqobeni okukhazimula kakhulu okwake kwaziwa.
Kwenzeka okufanayo nasezimpilweni zethu. UMgqibelo oNgcwele kufanele usikhumbuze ukuthi ngisho nezinto ezibonakala njengezinhlekelele ezimbi kakhulu ngaso sonke isikhathi azihlali zibonakala. Ngokusobala uNkulunkulu iNdodana wayenza izinto ezinkulu ngenkathi ilele ethuneni. Wayefeza umsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga. Wayeshintsha impilo yakhe futhi ethulula umusa nesihe.
Umyalezo wangoMgqibelo oNgcwele ucacile. Kungumyalezo wethemba. Ukungathembeli ngomqondo wezwe, kunalokho, kungumyalezo wethemba laphezulu. Ithemba futhi uthembele ezinhlelweni zikaNkulunkulu eziphelele. Ngiyathemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala enenhloso enkulu. Ngiyethemba uNkulunkulu usebenzisa ukuhlupheka futhi, kulokhu, ukufa njengethuluzi elinamandla lensindiso.
Chitha isikhashana uthule namhlanje. Zama ukufaka iqiniso langoMgqibelo oNgcwele. Vumela ithemba laphezulu likhule kuwe wazi ukuthi iPhasika lizofika maduze.
Nkosi ngiyabonga ngesipho sokuhlupheka nokufa kwakho. Ngiyabonga ngalolu suku lokuthula sisalinde uvuko lwakho. Ngingalindela nokunqoba kwakho empilweni yami. Lapho ngilwa nokuphelelwa yithemba, Nkosi ethandekayo, ngisize ngikhumbule lolu suku. Usuku lapho konke kwavela njengokulahlekile. Ngisize ngibone ubunzima bami ngenhloso yangoMgqibelo oNgcwele, ngikhumbula ukuthi Uthembekile kukho konke nokuthi uvuko luhlala luqinisekiswa kulabo abathembela kuwe. Jesu, ngiyakwethemba.
