"Usuku 22: Amanzi"
Kula mavesi, oNgcwele wakwa-Israyeli umemeza ngo-Isaya, enxusa abantu bakhe ngosuku olwandulela ukubhujiswa ukuba babuyele emthonjeni weqiniso wokuphila. Kungumcingo ogcizelelayo wokuza ngaphandle kwesithiyo emthonjeni waphakade wamanzi aphilayo. Amavesi 2 no-3 enza kucace ukuthi la manzi ayizwi likaNkulunkulu. Isimemo sokuphuza kakhulu: ukwamukela izwi, ukubonisana nalo, ukulijabulela, ukulilalela ngendlela ababengakaze balalele ngayo phambilini. “Lalela ngokucophelela” (v. 2) ngokwezwi nezwi, “Lalela-lalela!” ucingo lokunakwa okuhlukanisiwe futhi okusimeme. Ekugcineni, leli gama lihloselwe ukubasindisa (v. 3), ukuguqula (v. 7), nokubenza babe yisibusiso emhlabeni wonke (v. 5). Babizelwa ekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu wabo onozwelo (v. 7). Kepha bayenqaba ukumuzwa (6: 9).
ILent yisikhathi sokuthi samukele ukuthambekela okufanayo okukhonjiswe yizethameli zika-Isaya. Ngenxa yezizathu ezinolwazi nokungaqapheli, sithambekele ekungalinakekeli izwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi ekugcineni, uNkulunkulu uqobo. Ukunikezwa isikhathi esanele ngaphandle kwemiBhalo, kuqalisa uhlobo lwe-amnesia engokomoya, lapho sikhohlwa khona ukunambitheka okumnandi kunezinyosi kanye namaconsi ezinyosi (iHubo 19:10). ILent yisimemo sokubona uKristu njengoba owesifazane emthonjeni eza ukuzombona - njengokwaneliseka okumsulwa, okungenamkhawulo kwemiphefumulo yethu eyomile. Kuyisimemo sethu ukuthi sibuyele kulowo mthombo siphuze ngokujulile. Noma ngubani ophuza amanzi engizomnika wona ngeke esaphinda ome. Amanzi engizomnika wona ayakuba ngumthombo wamanzi phakathi kwakhe ophuphukela empilweni yaphakade (Johane 4:14).
