Cabanga namuhla ngobizo lwakho empilweni ukulingisa ukuthobeka kukaJohane uMbhapathizi
Nakhu akushoyo: “Kunamandla kunami oza emva kwami. Angikufanele ukukhothama ngithukulule imichilo yezimbadada zakhe “. UMarko 1: 7
UJohane uMbhapathizi wayebhekwa nguJesu njengomunye wabantu abakhulu kunabo bonke abake bahamba ebusweni bomhlaba (bheka uMathewu 11:11). Kepha kule ndima engenhla, uJohane usho ngokusobala ukuthi akakufanele ngisho noku “khothama akhulule imichilo yezicathulo zikaJesu.” Lokhu ukuthobeka ngezinga eligcwele!
Yini eyenza uSt John the Baptist abe mkhulu kangaka? Ingabe ukushumayela kwakhe okunamandla? Ubuntu bakhe obunamandla nobukhangayo? Ngendlela yakhe ngamazwi? Ukubukeka kwakhe okuhle? Abalandeli bakhe abaningi? Ngokuqinisekile bekungekho kulokhu okungenhla. Okwenza uJohane waba mkhulu ngokweqiniso ukuthobeka akhomba ngakho wonke umuntu kuJesu.
Enye yezingqinamba ezinkulu zabantu empilweni ukuziqhenya. Sivame ukufuna ukuzidonsela amehlo. Iningi labantu lilwa nenkambiso yokutshela abanye ukuthi balunge kangakanani nokuthi kungani beqinisile.

Kodwa lokho imvelo yethu engabantu evame ukwehluleka ukukuqaphela ukuthi ukuthobeka kungenye yezimpawu ezinkulu kakhulu esingaba nazo futhi, kude, kungumthombo omkhulu wobukhulu empilweni.
Ukuthobeka kutholakala ngokusobala kulawa mazwi nezenzo zikaJohane uMbhapathizi kundima engenhla. Wayazi ukuthi uJesu ungubani.Wakhomba kuJesu waguqula amehlo abalandeli bakhe esuka kuye wawabhekisa eNkosini yakhe. Futhi yilesi senzo sokuqondisa abanye kuKristu esinomphumela ophindwe kabili wokumphakamisela kobukhulu ukuqhosha kobugovu okungenakukufeza.

Yini engaba nkulu ukwedlula ukukhulisa iQiniso phezu kwamanga obugovu emvelo yethu yomuntu ewile?
