Inkolo Yomhlaba: Uyini umzekeliso?
Umzekeliso (obizwa ngokuthi PAIR uh bul) ukuqhathanisa phakathi kwezinto ezimbili, kuvame ukwenziwa ngendaba enezincazelo ezimbili. Elinye igama lomzekeliso liyinsolo.
UJesu Kristu wenza okuningi kokufundisa kwakhe ngemifanekiso. Ukuxoxa izindaba zabalingiswa nemisebenzi yemindeni kwakuyindlela onogada basendulo abathanda ukuheha ukunakwa komphakathi ngenkathi bebonisa iphuzu lokuziphatha elibalulekile.
Imifanekiso le ivela kuTestamente Elidala nelisha kodwa ibonakala kalula enkonzweni kaJesu. Ngemuva kokuthi abaningi bemenqabile njengoMesiya, uJesu waphendukela emifanekisweni, wachazela abafundi bakhe kuMathewu 13: 10-17 ukuthi labo ababefuna UNkulunkulu ngabe wayitholile incazelo ejulile, ngenkathi iqiniso lalizofihlwa kwabangakholwayo. UJesu wasebenzisa izindaba zasemhlabeni ukufundisa amaqiniso asezulwini, kepha yibo kuphela ababefuna iqiniso ababekwazi ukuliqonda.

Imifanekiso ngokuvamile imfushane futhi ifana. Amaphuzu avezwa kabili noma amathathu esebenzisa umnotho wamagama. Imininingwane engadingekile ayifakiwe.
Izilungiselelo endabeni zithathwa empilweni ejwayelekile. Izibalo ezilandelwayo zivamile futhi zisetshenziselwa umongo ukwenza lula ukuqonda. Isibonelo, inkulumo ekhuluma ngomalusi nangezimvu zakhe ingashukumisela izilaleli ukuba zicabange ngoNkulunkulu nangabantu bakhe ngenxa yokubhekisela kweTestamente Elidala kulezo zithombe.
Imifanekiso ihlala ifaka izakhi zokumangala nokwandisa ihaba. Bafundiswa ngendlela ehehayo nephoqelelayo yokuthi umlaleli angakwazi ukuphunyula iqiniso kuyo.
Imifanekiso icela abalaleli ukuthi benze izinqumo mayelana nemicimbi yomlando. Ngenxa yalokho, izilaleli kufanele zenze izahlulelo ezifanayo ezimpilweni zazo. Baphoqa isilaleli ukuthi senze isinqumo noma sifike ngesikhathi seqiniso.
Ngokuvamile, imifanekiso ayishiyi indawo yezindawo ezimpunga. Umlaleli uyaphoqelelwa ukubona iqiniso kukhonkolo kunezithombe ezingaqondakali.
Imifanekiso kaJesu
Ingcweti ekufundiseni imizekeliso, uJesu wakhuluma cishe ngamaphesenti angama-35 amazwi akhe alotshwe emifanekisweni. Ngokusho kweTyndale Bible Dictionary, imizekeliso kaKristu yayingeyona nje imifanekiso ekushumayeleni kwakhe, ngokuyinhloko kwakuwukushumayela kwakhe. Ngaphezu nje kwezindaba ezilula, izazi zichaze imidwebo kaJesu zombili njengemisebenzi yobuciko kanye nezikhali zempi.
Inhloso yemifanekiso ekufundisweni kukaJesu Kristu kwakuwukugxila olalelayo kuNkulunkulu nasembusweni wakhe. Lezi zindaba ziveze isimilo sikaNkulunkulu: unjani, usebenza kanjani nokuthi yini ayilindele kubalandeli bakhe.
Iningi labafundi liyavuma ukuthi okungenani kunemifanekiso engama-33 emavangelini. UJesu wethula iningi lalemifanekiso ngombuzo. Isibonelo, emzekelisweni wembewu yesinaphi, uJesu waphendula lo mbuzo: "UMbuso kaNkulunkulu unjani?"
Omunye wemifanekiso kaKristu odume kakhulu eBhayibhelini yindaba yendodana yolahleko kuLuka 15: 11-32. Le ndaba ihlobene kakhulu nemifanekiso ye-Lost Sheep and Lost Coin. Ngayinye yalezi zindaba igxila ebudlelwaneni noNkulunkulu, ikhombisa ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukulahleka nokuthi izulu ligubha kanjani ngenjabulo lapho abalahlekile betholakala. Ziphinde futhi zidwebe isithombe esibi senhliziyo kaNkulunkulu uNkulunkulu onothando ngemiphefumulo elahlekile.
Omunye umzekeliso owaziwayo ukulandisa komSamariya olungileyo kuLuka 10: 25-37. Kulomfanekiso, uJesu Kristu wafundisa abalandeli bakhe ukuthi bathande kanjani labo ababekade bebuswa yizwele emhlabeni futhi wakhombisa ukuthi uthando kufanele lunqobe ubandlululo.
Imifanekiso eminingi kaKristu isifundisa ukuthi sizilungiselele izikhathi zokugcina. Umzekeliso wezintombi eziyishumi ugcizelela iqiniso lokuthi abalandeli bakaJesu kumele bahlale beqaphile futhi belungele ukubuya kwakhe. Umzekeliso wamathalenta unikeza umhlahlandlela ongokoqobo wokuthi ungaphila kanjani ululungele lolo suku.
Imvamisa, abalingiswa emifanekisweni kaJesu bahlala bengadalulwanga, okwenza ukusetshenziswa kwezilaleli zakhe kwabasebenza kakhulu. Umzekeliso weRich Man noLazaru kuLuka 16: 19-31 uwukuphela kwaso lapho wasebenzisa khona igama elifanele.
Enye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu emifanekisweni kaJesu yindlela abembula ngayo ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu.Bakhanga abalaleli kanye nabafundi lapho behlangana khona ngokoqobo futhi besondelene noNkulunkulu ophilayo onguMelusi, iKosi, uBaba, uMsindisi nokunye okuningi.
