Cabanga namuhla ngendlela yakho yokuzila neminye imikhuba yokuphenduka
“Ingabe izivakashi zomshado zingazila ukudla lapho umkhwenyana esenabo? Uma nje umyeni esenabo abakwazi ukuzila ukudla. Kodwa zizakufika izinsuku, lapho umyeni ezakususwa kubo; yikhona-ke bezakuzila ngalolo suku. UMarku 2: 19-20
Lesi siqephu esingenhla siveza impendulo kaJesu kubafundi bakaJohane uMbhapathizi nakwabanye abaFarisi ababuza uJesu ngokuzila ukudla. Bakhomba ukuthi abafundi bakaJohane nabaFarisi balandela imithetho yamaJuda ngokuzila ukudla, kepha abafundi bakaJesu abayilandeli. Impendulo kaJesu iya enhliziyweni yomthetho omusha ngokuzila ukudla.
Ukuzila ukudla kuyindlela enhle engokomoya. Kuyasiza ukuqinisa intando ekulweni nezilingo zenyama ezingasetshenzisiwe futhi kusiza ukuletha ubumsulwa emphefumulweni womuntu. Kepha kufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi ukuzila akuyona into engunaphakade. Ngolunye usuku, lapho sihlangana ubuso nobuso noNkulunkulu ezulwini, ngeke sisaba khona isidingo sokuzila noma sokwenza noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuphenduka. Kepha ngenkathi sisemhlabeni, sizolwa, siwe futhi silahlekelwe yindlela yethu, futhi enye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokomoya ukusisiza sibuyele kuKristu ukuthandaza nokuzila ukudla ndawonye.
Ukuzila ukudla kuyadingeka "lapho umkhwenyana esuswa". Ngamanye amagama, ukuzila ukudla kuyadingeka lapho sona futhi ubunye bethu noKristu buqala ukuphela. Kungaleso sikhathi-ke lapho ukuzidela komuntu siqu kusiza ukuvula izinhliziyo zethu eNkosini yethu futhi. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi lapho imikhuba yesono ifika futhi igxila ngokujulile. Ukuzila ukudla kunezela amandla amakhulu emthandazweni wethu futhi welula imiphefumulo yethu ukuze sikwazi ukuthola "iwayini elisha" lomusa kaNkulunkulu lapho silidinga khona kakhulu.
