IVangeli lango-Ephreli 7 2020 onamazwana
Okuvela kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaJohane 12,1-11.
Ezinsukwini eziyisithupha ngaphambi kwePhasika, uJesu waya eBhethaniya, lapho kwakukhona uLazaru ayemvusile kwabafileyo.
U-Equi wamenzela isidlo sakusihlwa: UMatha wakhonza kwathi uLazaru wayengomunye wababedla.
Lapho-ke uMariya ethatha iphawundi lamafutha angenantambo amnandi kakhulu, wafafaza izinyawo zikaJesu wazomesa ngezinwele zakhe, indlu yonke yagcotshwa ngamakha amakha.
Lapho-ke uJuda Iskariyothe, omunye wabafundi bakhe, owayezomkhaphela ngaleso sikhathi, wathi:
"Kungani le oli enephunga ingathengisanga ngodenariyu abangamakhulu amathathu bese beyinika abampofu?"
Lokhu akazange akusho ngoba ebanakekela abampofu, kodwa ngoba eyisela futhi, ngoba egcina imali, wayethatha lokho ababekufaka kukho.
UJesu wabe esethi: "Myekeni akwenze, ukuze nikugcinele usuku lokungcwatshwa kwami.
Eqinisweni, uhlala unabo abampofu kanye nawe, kepha awunami njalo ».
Ngaleso sikhathi isixuku esikhulu sabaJuda sezwa ukuthi uJesu wayekhona, futhi asigijimanga kuphela ngoJesu, kodwa futhi ukuze sibone noLazaru ayemvusile kwabafileyo.
Abapristi abakhulu base benquma ukumbulala noLazaru,
ngoba amaJuda amaningi asuka ngenxa yakhe futhi akholwa kuJesu.

Ngomusa wakhe iNkosi, ihlala isondele kulabo abamncengayo (cf. IHu. 145,18), yamenza wazizwa ebukhonona bakhe befisa futhi wathi ngesisa esihle: “Nangu mina! Manje uzonginikeza ini? " Futhi yena: "Siyakwamukela, wena ongukuphela kokusindiswa kwami nakho konke okuhle kwami, ngithini? ukuphela kwami okuhle. " Ubuye wanezela: “Haimé! Nkosi yami, ekungafaneleni kwami angilungisanga lutho oluzofanela ubukhulu bakho baphezulu; kepha nginikela impilo yami yonke ebuhleni bakho. Ngigcwele izifiso, ngiyacela ukuba nizinikele nizilungiselele kimi okungangithokozisa kakhulu ubuhle bakho baphezulu. " INkosi yathi kuye: "Uma ungivumela ukuthi ngibe nale nkululeko kuwe, nginike ukhiye ongivumela ukuthi ngithathe futhi ngibuyisele ngaphandle kobunzima konke engizothanda ukuthi bobabili bazizwe kahle futhi ngizikhumbuze". Yathi kuye, "Futhi yini ukhiye?" INkosi yaphendula, "Intando yakho!"
Lawa magama amenza waqonda ukuthi uma umuntu efisa ukwamukela iNkosi njengesihambeli, kumele amnikeze ukhiye wentando yakhe, ezinikela ngokuphelele enjabulweni yakhe ephelele futhi ezinikele ngokuphelele ebuhleni bakhe obumnandi bokwenza insindiso yakhe kukho konke. Ngemuva kwalokho iNkosi ingena kuleyo nhliziyo nomphefumulo ukufeza konke okungafunwa yintando yakhe yaphezulu.
