"Usuku 4: Isivivinyo"
Lesi ngesinye sezigaba ezaziwa kakhulu nezinzima eBhayibhelini. U-Abrahama wethulwa kuGenesise 12 njengalowo “bonke abantu emhlabeni” abazobusiswa ngaye (uGenesise 12: 1-3). Futhi-ke njengoba sifika endaweni yesehlakalo ngenhla sithola ukuthi okwaqala njengokubiza kukaNkulunkulu ku-Abrahama ukuthi ashiye ikhaya lakhe manje sekufinyelele kuvuthondaba olukhulu. Unkulunkulu manje ufake kulolo bizo umhlatshelo wokugcina nokuvivinywa kokholo luka-Abrahama - ukuzimisela ukunikela ngendodana yakhe okuwukuphela kwayo. Ubuhlungu nokuzwakala kwalo mzuzu kukhuliswa iqiniso lokuthi u-Abraham nomkakhe, uSara, babelinde iminyaka bengakuboni ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sendodana. Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sokuthi isizwe sizofika ngomndeni waso sabonakala singenakwenzeka ku-Abrahama noSara, ngenxa yokungakwazi kwabo ukuba nengane.
Ngakho-ke manje eseyiphendulile imithandazo yabo wabanikeza indodana, uNkulunkulu ucele u-Abrahama ukuthi enze okuthile okubonakala kunesihluku futhi kungenangqondo ngokuphelele. Unkulunkulu uzobadala kanjani abantu ngomhlatshelo wendlalifa eyodwa ka-Abrahama? Lokhu kufa kuzoholela kanjani ezibusisweni ezathenjiswa kuGenesise 12? Impendulo iza lapho sisuka ezenzakalweni zempilo ka-Abrahama siye ezenzakalweni zempilo kaJesu.
Njengoba ucabanga ngale ndaba yokholo nokuzidela ngenxa yale sizini eholela eVikini eliNgcwele, zinike isikhathi sokucabanga ngendlela ekhombisa ngayo ukholo nomhlatshelo kaJesu. Isimemezelo sika-Abrahama sokuthi uNkulunkulu uqobo uzohlinzeka ngemvu (Genesise 22: 8) sisikhumbuza ngesipho sikaNkulunkulu seWundlu ukusindisa umhlaba (Marku 10: 45; Johane 1: 29, 36). Ukuhlinzekwa kukaNkulunkulu ngenqama eNtabeni iMoriya kufanekisela umhlatshelo wakhe wendodana yakhe okuwukuphela kwayo, uJesu Kristu - iWundlu leqiniso elingenasici elafa endaweni yethu esiphambanweni. Njengo-Isaac, uKristu uyimvu eholelwa ekuhlatshweni, nokho ngokungafani no-Isaac, uJesu akazange avule umlomo wakhe. Njengoba u-Isaka aphatha izinkuni zakhe zokwenza i-altare, noKrestu wathwala isiphambano sakhe sokhuni (Johane 19:17). Buyela emuva uphinde ufunde lesi siqeshana amehlo ethe njo kuJesu, umbhali nomphelelisi wokholo lwakho (KumaHeberu 12: 2).
Umkhuleko
Baba oNgcwele, ngiyabonga futhi ngiyakudumisa ngokuthumela iNdodana yakho ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni. Nginike amehlo okubona ubuhle nokupheleliswa kukaJesu, iWundlu elingenabala owazidela ngokuzithandela ukuze ngithole ukuthethelelwa nempilo entsha. Futhi ekukhanyeni komusa wakho kwangathi ngingahlala impilo yokholo, ngethembele ebuhleni bakho futhi ngibeke impilo yami ngenxa yabanye. Egameni likaKristu, Amen.
