Izimiso Zokusebenzisa Isikhathi Ezivela Ezwini LikaNkulunkuluIsampula

Vele Uthi Cha

Njengoba uMarku evula ukulandisa kwakhe ngenkonzo kaJesu, ufanekisa uMsindisi esemkhathini wokuphulukisa, ekhipha amademoni endodeni yasesinagogeni futhi ephulukisa umamezala kaPetru emzini wakhe eKapernawume. Ngalobo busuku, “abantu baletha kuJesu bonke abagulayo nabakhwelwe amademoni. Idolobha lonke labuthana emnyango futhi uJesu waphulukisa abaningi.” 

Akumangalisi ukuthi ngakusasa ekuseni abafundi bagijimela kuJesu bathi: “Bonke bayakufuna! Ngokusobala idolobha lase lithole umoya wamandla kaJesu ayisimangaliso okuphulukisa futhi lalifuna ukuphindwa ngosuku lwesibili. Kodwa uJesu wathi cha. Kulokho okwenzeka kwathusa abafundi, uJesu wathi, “Masiye emizaneni eseduze ukuze ngishumayele nakhona. Ngenxa yalokhu ngizile.”

Lokhu okokuqala, kodwa ngokuqinisekile akusona isikhathi sokugcina lapho sizwa uJesu ekhuluma igama elithi “cha” emavangelini. Yingani uJesu athi “cha”? Ngokusobala wayenamandla okwelapha abantu abengeziwe. Ngokusobala wayenesifiso sokudambisa ubuhlungu ezimpilweni zalaba bantu. Kodwa nakuba uJesu ayefuna ukwelapha abantu abengeziwe, wayazi ukuthi wayenesikhathi esilinganiselwe emhlabeni ukuze agcwalise “injongo” yakhe. UJesu akezanga emhlabeni nje ukuzophilisa futhi embule ubuyena. Weza ukuzoshumayela ngevangeli elungiselela Injongo ayezoyenza esiphambanweni. Ujesu wayecacile bha enjongweni Yakhe futhi lokhu kwamholela ekubeni enqabe ezintweni ezinhle ukuze agxile entweni ebalulekile ayezele ukuzoyenza emhlabeni.

Uma uJesu engakwazanga ukusho uyebo kukho konke, nathi ngeke. Mina nawe sinesikhathi esilinganiselwe nezinsiza. Ukuze sisisebenzise ngokugcwele isikhathi esisele, kubalulekile ukuba sikucacise kahle lokho esikholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu usibizele ukuba sikwenze futhi sizijwayeze ukuthi cha emathubeni—ngisho namahle ngempela—asiphazamisayo emathubeni ethu omsebenzi obalulekile.

Khumbula, uphilela injongo! Ngithandazela ukuthi imiBhalo esiyihlolisisile ezinsukwini eziyisithupha ezedlule izosibekela inselelo yokuthi sihlakaniphe mayelana nendlela esisichitha ngayo isikhathi esisele kulo mhlaba, sisebenzisa amahora okugcina ukuthanda uNkulunkulu, ukuthanda abanye, nokwenza abafundi bakaJesu Kristu ekuphileni kwethu kanye nomsebenzi wethu.

Uma ulujabulele lolu hlelo lokufunda, uzokuthanda ukuzinikela kwami kwamasonto onke, okukusiza ukuthi uxhume evangelini ngokujulile emsebenzini wakho. Bhalisa lapha.
