Ubizo Lwakho Oluyingqayizivele

Njengoba ngishilo ekukhulekeleni okwedlule, kuyalingeka ukufunda indaba yesikhulu esencane esicebile futhi siyilungise (NgokukaLuka 18:18-23). “UJesu wayengaqondile ngempela ukuthi kwakufanele anikele ngakho konke.” Sinamathele kakhulu emalini nasezimpahleni zethu kangangokuthi kuyasabisa ukucabanga ngokuphila ngaphandle kwazo.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amanye amaKristu kuwo wonke umlando aye abheka indaba yesikhulu esisha esicebile futhi ayisebenzisa kabanzi. Baye bacabanga ukuthi ukuze abantu bathembeke kuNkulunkulu, kufanele badele konke abanakho. 

Kokubili ukweqisa—ukusebenzisa kancane nokusebenzisa ngokweqile amazwi kaJesu—ngamaphutha. Umqondo ofanayo mayelana nezinto ezibonakalayo wawukude nomqondo kaJesu. 

Ukuchaza, ake ngikubonise esinye isigameko sempilo kaJesu. 

Phakathi nohambo lwakhe, uJesu wafika endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iGerasa futhi wahlangana nendoda eyayihlushwa isixuku samademoni ( NgokukaMarku 5: 1-20). Wayengasamukeleki kwabaphilayo, wahlala kwabafileyo emathuneni. 

Lendoda yeza kuJesu, uJesu wayihawukela, njengalokho enzile enduneni eyisicebi. UJesu wakhipha amademoni. Khona manjalo, le ndoda yaba nokuthula. Njengoba ayegqoke okuncane noma engagqokile lutho, uJesu wamtholela iqoqo lezingubo. 

Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, kwadingeka ukuba uJesu ahambe. Indoda evuselelwe yabuza ukuthi yayingakwazi yini ukuhamba noJesu njengoba kwenza abanye abafundi.

Le yindlela uJesu ayefuna ukuba lesi sikhulu esicebile sibe nayo! Ngakho ubungeke yini ucabange ukuthi uJesu ubengayimema indoda yaseGerasa ukuba yenze okufanayo? Cha, uJesu watshela le ndoda ukuba igoduke.

Lokhu kuqhathanisa kubalulekile. Endabeni yensizwa ecebile, uJesu wathi: “Thengisa ngakho konke onakho, uphe abampofu uze ungilandele. Endabeni yendoda yaseGerasa engenakhaya, uJesu wayinikeza ingubo entsha wayesethi: “Buyela ekhaya. Batshele indaba yakho.” 

Ake sizibuze, kungani uJesu atshela le ndoda yesibili ukuba igcine indlu yayo, kuyilapho yena ebiza isikhulu esicebile ukuba sithengise konke? Ngoba la madoda amabili ayebizelwe ukufeza izindima ezihlukene ngokuphila kwawo. Zadalelwa izinjongo eziyingqayizivele. 

Kanjalo nathi.

Iyiphi indlela eyingqayizivele uJesu akubiza ngayo ukuba umlandele namuhla? Indlela yakhe yokukubiza izibonakalisa kanjani iziphiwo nobuntu akunikeze bona?

ImiBhalo ithi izindinganiso zikaNkulunkulu zihlukile kwezezwe. Lokhu kubonakala endabeni yengcebo nemfuyo. “Uma unokuningi, kuba ngcono!” umhlaba uyamemeza. UNkulunkulu uyahleba, “Nganele. Ungafuni injabulo noma ukulondeka kunoma yini enye. Uzoneliseka kakhulu ngokuba nokuncane.” Ukukhuculula, isenzo sokuba nokuncane ngenhloso esimayelana nokuqeda imfuhlumfuhlu. Kunikeza indlela yokuthuthukisa impilo yethu ngaphansi kukaNkulunkulu.
