"Usuku 20: Inceku Engenasono"
Kula mavesi sibona umehluko phakathi kwenceku yeNkosi elalelayo nalabo abayishushisa futhi bayihlukumeza. Ngokumangazayo, yinceku elalelayo ebizelwe ukuhlupheka ngenxa yabantu abangalaleli - ukushaywa, ukukhafulelwa, nokuklolodelwa. Noma kunjalo, “ubeka ubuso bakhe bube njengensengetsha” bubheke endleleni yokuhlupheka futhi “ngeke ajabhiswe.” Uyazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka kwakhe akulona ize ngoba abantu bakhe bayohlengwa.
Ababhali beTestamente Elisha babona ukuthi inceku yeNkosi, okukhulunywa ngayo kulesi siqephu, ayisiyena omunye ngaphandle kukaJesu Kristu. “Wabhekisa ubuso bakhe” ngaseJerusalema, ebazi ubuhlungu obabumlindele lapho (Luka 9:51). Washaywa, wahlekwa usulu, futhi wakhafulelwa ngamathe (Marku 15: 19-20). Wahlupheka, hhayi ngenxa yesono sakhe kodwa ngenxa yezethu, futhi impilo yakhe yaphawulwa ngokulalela okuphelele, kwaze kwaba sekufeni esiphambanweni (KwabaseFilipi 2: 5-9).
Kukho konke lokhu, uJesu wahlala eyinceku engenasono (KumaHeberu 12: 2). Ujesu wakwazi kanjani ukukhuthazelela ukuphathwa kabi okunjalo kodwa aqiniseke ukuthi ekugcineni wayengeke ahlazeke? Impendulo, ngegama elilodwa, injabulo: ngoba “injabulo eyayibekwe phambi kwakhe, wakhuthazelela isiphambano.” Injabulo eyashukumisela uJesu kwaba iqiniso lokuthi ngokuhlupheka kwakhe abantu bakhe babezohlengwa.
Nathi sinenjabulo enkulu ebekwe phambi kwethu namuhla. Impela kukhona ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka ohambweni lwethu, kepha ukuhlanganiswa noKristu ngokukholwa, ngeke siphoxeke! Masithathe isiphambano sethu silandele uKristu, inceku engenasono.
Umkhuleko
Baba oseZulwini, siyabonga ngempilo, ukufa, nokuvuka kukaJesu, inceku yethu engenasono. Sengathi lezi zindaba ezinhle zingasinika amandla njengoba siphishekela injabulo phakathi kobuhlungu nokuhlupheka kwethu. Egameni likaKristu, Amen.
