"Woza wedwa endaweni eyihlane uphumule isikhashana." Marku 6:34
Abayishumi nambili babesanda kubuya emaphandleni ukuyoshumayela ivangeli. Babekhathele. UJesu, ngozwelo lwakhe, ubamema ukuba bahambe naye ukuze baphumule kancane. Bese bangena esikebheni ukuze bafike endaweni eyihlane. Kodwa lapho abantu bezwa ngalokhu, bashesha ngezinyawo baye lapho isikebhe sabo sasiqonde khona. Ngakho lapho isikebhe sifika, kunesixuku esibalindile.
Yiqiniso, uJesu akathukutheli. Akavumeli ukuthi adikibaliswe yisifiso esinamandla sabantu sokuba Naye kanye nabayishumi nambili. Esikhundleni salokho, iVangeli lisitshela ukuthi lapho uJesu ebabona, "inhliziyo yakhe yahawukela" futhi waqala ukubafundisa izinto eziningi.
Empilweni yethu, ngemuva kokusebenzela abanye kahle, kuyaqondakala ukuthi sifisa ukuphumula. UJesu naye wayezifisela yena nabaphostoli bakhe. Kodwa okuwukuphela kwento uJesu ayivumela ukuthi "aphule" ukuphumula kwakhe kwakuyisifiso esisobala sabantu sokuba naye nokondliwa ngokushumayela Kwakhe. Kuningi esingakufunda kulesi sibonelo seNkosi yethu.

Abefundisi nabezenkolo nabo bangaba nemisebenzi engalindelekile evela enkonzweni yabo engathi, ekuqaleni, ibonakale iphazamisa izinhlelo zabo. Kungashiwo okufanayo nganoma yiluphi ubizo noma isimo empilweni. Singacabanga ukuthi sidinga into eyodwa, kepha izingcingo zomsebenzi futhi sithola ukuthi sidingeka ngendlela ehlukile.
Ukhiye wokwabelana ngomsebenzi wobuphostoli kaKrestu, kungaba yimindeni yethu, iSonto, umphakathi noma abangani, ukuthi sikulungele futhi sizimisele ukuphana ngesikhathi namandla ethu. Kuliqiniso ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi ukuhlakanipha kuzosho isidingo sokuphumula, kepha kwesinye isikhathi ukubizelwa ezinhlanganweni kuzosusa lokho esikubona njengesidingo esifanele sokuphumula nokungcebeleka. Futhi lapho isisa senhliziyo esidingekayo kithi, sizohlala sithola ukuthi iNkosi yethu isinikeza umusa odingekayo wokupha ngesikhathi sethu. Imvamisa kuba ngalezo zikhathi lapho iNkosi yethu ikhetha ukusisebenzisa ngezindlela eziguqula abanye ngokweqiniso.
