Cabanga namuhla ngokusabela kwakho ezintweni ezinzima uNkulunkulu akubiza ukuba uzenze
UJesu waqala ukufundisa abaPhostoli ukuthi iNdodana yoMuntu kufanele ihlupheke kakhulu futhi yenqatshwe ngabadala, abapristi abakhulu nababhali, ibulawe bese ivuswa emva kwezinsuku ezintathu. Wakhuluma ngakho obala. Khona-ke uPetru wamyisa eceleni waqala ukumthethisa. UMarku 8: 31-32
Kungani uPhetro kufanele athathe uJesu eceleni amkhuze? Ingabe kwakukhuza intukuthelo kuJesu? Cha, kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungukukhuzwa okwakusekelwe ekwesabeni uPetru ayenakho enhliziyweni yakhe.
Le ndima ithi uJesu "waqala ukufundisa" abaPhostoli ukuthi kungekudala uzohlupheka kakhulu, nokuthi uzokwaliwa futhi abulawe. Lokhu bekuzoba nzima kubaPhostoli ukwamukela nokuqonda. Ekuqaleni, babezobhekana nayo yonke imizwa nemicabango sonke esidlula kuyo njengoba sicubungula izindaba ezinzima. Singaqala ngokwala, bese siyathukuthela, sibheke indlela yokuphuma, ukwethuka, ukudideka, njll. Ukuhamba ngezigaba zobuhlungu nokwamukelwa kuyinto ejwayelekile futhi kubonakala sengathi yilokhu uPeter ayebhekene nakho.
Emzabalazweni wakhe wangaphakathi wokwamukela lokho uJesu ayeqala ukubembulela khona, uPeter wazama ukuvimba. Ekulandiseni kukaMathewu ngalolu daba sizwa amazwi ayiqiniso kaPetru: “Makube kude, Nkosi! Into enjalo ayisoze yakwehlela ”(Mt 16: 22).
Ngokuqinisekile amazwi kaPetru ayengamazwi okukhathalela uJesu, kodwa kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuthi nje uPhetro wayekhathalela uJesu akusho ukuthi amazwi akhe ayelusizo.
Njengoba indaba iqhubeka, uJesu ukhuza ngokuqinile uPetru, kodwa kwenziwa ngothando lukaPetru ukumkhulula ekwesabeni nasekudidekeni kwakhe. Kuyaqondakala ukuthi uPeter wesaba ukubikezelwa kweSiphambano. Kuyaqondakala lapho abanye bethu besaba lapho bebhekene nesiphambano esinzima noma ubunzima. Okusemqoka lapha ukwazi ukuthi uJesu akafuni sihlale ngokwesaba. Akafuni ukubalekela iziphambano esinikezwe zona ngenxa yobuthakathaka bethu bobuntu. Esikhundleni salokho, ufuna sibuyele kuYe futhi sizame ukucabanga ngendlela acabanga ngayo, senze njengoba Enza futhi sibhekane nobunzima bethu njengoba Enzile ngokwanga iSiphambano Sakhe.
Cabanga namuhla ngempendulo yakho ezintweni ezinzima uNkulunkulu akubizele ukuba uzenze. Yebo, ungaqiniseka ukuthi ukubiza nsuku zonke ezenzweni ezidinga ukuzidela okukhulu nothando olukhulu. Lokhu kungabhekwa njengokubuhlungu. Kepha akufanele uvumele ubuhlungu besiphambano bukuvimbe ekuthwaleni. Asikhulekele ukuthi ube nesibindi sokubhekana neziphambano zakho futhi, uma kunesidingo, uvulele ukukhuzwa ngothando kukaJesu lapho uthola ukuthi udinga ukukhuzwa ukuze ukubeke endleleni eya enkululekweni engesabi.
Nkosi, ngiyazi ukuthi ngesibindi nangokwesaba ubhekane nomhlatshelo ongcwele weSiphambano sakho esikhazimulayo. Njengoba ngimenywa ukulandela ezinyathelweni zakho, ngithola ukuthi uvalo lungangehlula njengoPeter. Ngicela ungiqinise ngalezo zikhathi futhi unginike umusa engiwudingayo wokuthi "Yebo" kuwe, noma yini oyicelayo. Jesu ngiyakholelwa kuwe.
