Izifundo Zokugcina: Uhlelo Lwesonto ElingcweleIsampula
Umhlatshelo
Siqala namuhla, usuku olungaphambi kweSonto Lesundu, lapho Isonto Elingcwele liqala ngokusemthethweni, ngoba asikwazi ukuphuthelwa ukuthi indaba yePhasika iqala kuphi ngempela. Izixuku, ikameli, namahlamvu esundu ngokuvamile asiyinaki indaba kaMariya nomhlatshelo wakhe. Ngakho siqala ngoMgqibelo ngakho-ke silungele iSonto Lesundu.
Namuhla, siqala endaweni ethobeke kakhulu kunezixuku ezijabulayo. Siqala endaweni lapho esingazizwa sikhululekile khona lapho sihlezi etafuleni lesidlo sakusihlwa nabangani.
Funda NgokukaJohane 12:1-8
Uyabakhumbula laba bangani bakaJesu? Uma kungenjalo, isizinda esincane: Odadewabo bakaLazaru abazange bajabule kakhulu ngokuthi uJesu waphuza ukubasiza ngemva kokuthola umbiko wokuthi uLazaru uyagula, okwaphumela ekufeni kwakhe. Sabona uJesu edabukile (NgokukaJohane 11:35 usitshela ukuthi, “Ujesu wakhala.”) wabe esenza isimangaliso—wavusa uLazaru kwabafileyo!
Laba bangane babejwayele ukufa, kodwa novuko. Odadewabo bakaLazaru babebone umfowabo ephuma ethuneni ephila (NgokukaJohane 11:44). Babona okungenakwenzeka kwenzeka.
Kulesi sidlo sakusihlwa sibona uMariya enza into engajwayelekile. Evesini 3 siyafunda, “Ngakho uMariya wathatha iphawundi lamafutha anenani elikhulu enadi lodwa, wagcoba izinyawo zikaJesu, wesula izinyawo zakhe ngezinwele zakhe.”
Lawa "mafutha abizayo" ayengafani nebhodlela lakho lamakha. Yonke imibhalo ehlaziyayo noma iBhayibheli lokufunda engiye ngalifunda lithi lalilingana nomholo wonyaka wonke.
Cabanga ukuthi uyini umholo wakho wonyaka wonke. Manje, cabanga ukuthi bekungaba njani ukubhalela uJesu isheke ngaleso samba esigcwele.
Angikwazi ngisho ukuqonda. Ngizabalaza ukunikeza uNkulunkulu okweshumi kwami noma imizuzu engu-30 yesikhathi sasekuseni Naye noma ukukhonza kwangeSonto nomndeni wami webandla. Ngakho ukunikeza imali engenayo yonyaka wonke. Cha. Angikwazi ukuya lapho.
Nokho, kulapho indaba yephasika iqala khona—ngowesifazane, umngani kaJesu, owanikela ngento eyigugu (“inadi elihlanzekile”), futhi wazithoba ngokugeza izinyawo zaKhe ngezinwele zakhe. Umariya ukutholile—uKristu ufanele konke esinakho, okungcono kakhulu esinakho.
Kungani simnikeza izinsalela zethu njalo?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Ake sehlise ijubane kuleli Sonto Elingcwele futhi sifunde ngezinsukwini zokugcina zikaKristu emhlabeni. Usuku ngalunye sizothola izifundo noma izipho athatha isikhathi ukuzinikeza. Uyasidinga isikhumbuzo esisha salokho okwakubaluleke kakhulu kuKristu—ukuthi uyabathanda abantu Bakhe futhi umlandele? Yini Angathanda ukukufundisa yona kuleli sonto Elingcwele?
