Umcabango ogqugquzelayo wanamuhla: UJesu uthulisa isiphepho
Kuleli vesi, uPhetro wayesanda kuhamba phezu kwamanzi ayenesivunguvungu noJesu. Lapho efulathela amehlo akhe eNkosi futhi egxile esivunguvungwini, waqala ukucwila ngaphansi kwesisindo sezimo zakhe ezinzima. Kepha lapho ecela usizo, uJesu wambamba ngesandla wamsusa endaweni yakhe ebonakala ingenakwenzeka.
Ngemuva kwaloko Jesu kanye naPhetro bangena esikebheni kanye nesiphepho saphela. Abafundi ababesesikebheni babevele babone okuthile ngokuyisimangaliso: UPhetro noJesu behamba phezu kwamanzi anezivunguvungu emva kwalokho ukuzola kwamagagasi ngokuzumayo lapho begibela umkhumbi.
Wonke umuntu owayesesikebheni waqala ukukhulekela uJesu.
Mhlawumbe izimo zakho zibonakala njengokukhiqizwa kwesimanje kwalesi sehlakalo.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, khumbula ukuthi ngokuzayo lapho uhamba empilweni enesivunguvungu, mhlawumbe uNkulunkulu uzofinyelela futhi ahambe nawe phezu kwamaza anolaka. Ungahle uzizwe uphanjukelwe, ungahlali ugcwele, kepha uNkulunkulu kungenzeka abe nezinhlelo zokwenza okuthile ngokuyisimangaliso, into eyingqayizivele kangangokuba noma ngubani okubonayo uzowa akhonze iNkosi, kubandakanya nawe.
Lesi sehlakalo esisencwadini kaMathewu senzeka phakathi kobusuku obumnyama. Abafundi babediniwe ukulwa nezakhi ubusuku bonke. Ngempela besaba. Kepha-ke uNkulunkulu, Mnumzane weziphepho nomphathi wamaza, weza kubo ebumnyameni. Wangena esikebheni sabo wazola izinhliziyo zabo ezazithukuthele.
IVangeli Herald bake bashicilela le epigram ehlekisayo ngezivunguvungu:
Owesifazane wayehleli eduze komfundisi endizeni ngesikhathi kunesivunguvungu.
Owesifazane: "Awukwazi ukwenza okuthile ngalesi siphepho esibi?
"
UNkulunkulu unakekela ukuphathwa kwesivunguvungu. Uma uku-eyodwa, ungayethemba i-Master of Storms.
Noma singasoze sahamba phezu kwamanzi njengoPhetro, sizodlula ezimeni ezinzima ezivivinya ukholo. Ekugcineni, lapho uJesu noPetru befika esikebheni, isivunguvungu saphela masinyane. Lapho sinoJesu "esikebheni sethu", yehlisa isivunguvungu sempilo ukuze simkhulekele. Lokhu kukodwa kuyisimangaliso.
