"Usuku 8: Umpristi"
Ngabe ufuna ukuthi okungalungile kwaleli zwe kulungiswe? Kulo mbhalo, sifunda ku-v. 28 ukuthi indima yabapristi kwakungu-1) “ukukhuphukela e-altare lami” - kwakufanele ngabe babeya phambi kukaNkulunkulu bemele abantu ukubancengela nokubancengela, 2) “to bashise impepho ”- okwakuwumsebenzi kanye nenkambiso yenkolo eyayihlonipha uNkulunkulu (uLevitikusi 16:13), no-3)“ ukugqoka i-efodi ”- okwakuzomaka abapristi njengalabo abeluleka abantu ngokuhlakanipha okuvela kuNkulunkulu. Ku-v. 29, sibona ukuthi amadodana ka-Eli, ayengabapristi ngaleso sikhathi - bona kanye okwakufanele ngabe babekhathalela abantu - empeleni "babezinona" ngokusebenza kwabanye ngokungafanele. Kwakungekhona nje ukuthi lokhu kungabi nabulungisa, kepha bona abantu okwakufanele ngabe babekhathalela abanye empeleni babebalimaza. Unkulunkulu uzokulungisa kanjani lokhu kungalungi?
Uma sibheka ezethu izimpilo kanye nezalabo abasizungezile, sivame ukubuza umbuzo ofanayo. Unkulunkulu uzokulungisa kanjani ukungalungi komhlaba? Kuba umbuzo odabukisayo lapho sibona ukuthi nathi sinecala lokona abanye. Bona kanye abantu esibaziyo ukuthi kufanele sibathande futhi sibasebenzele imvamisa bayizisulu zobugovu bethu obugxile ezithakazelweni zethu nasezintweni esizibeka kuqala.
Sitshelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakubona lokhu kungabi nabulungiswa nokuthi kufanele akubuyekeze (vv. 30-31) kanye nokukhipha imiphumela efanele kulabo abonayo (v. 34). Sidinga ukuthi amaphutha amiswe, kepha futhi sidinga umuntu ozoya phambi kukaNkulunkulu asincengele, njengoba nathi singabenzi bobubi. Kuzoba ngubani lokhu? Ivesi 35 lithi, “Futhi ngizozivusela umpristi othembekile… ogcotshiweyo wami kuze kube phakade.” Igama lesiHeberu elisho "ukwethembeka" libuye lisho "ukubekezela," ngakho-ke lobu bupristi buzohlala ingunaphakade, kepha iqiniso lokuthi "ungogcotshiweyo wami kuze kube phakade" lisho "inkosi yami" kulo mongo. Ngubani ongumpristi othembekile nohlala njalo futhi oyinkosi kuze kube phakade? Umlando womuntu oyedwa kuphela ongaba bobabili - uJesu.
Umkhuleko
Nkosi Jesu, ukubekezelela umpristi ophakeme nenkosi, usivulele indlela yokuba sisondele kuwe yize sihlala sinecala emicabangweni, emazwini nasezenzweni zethu. Siphe umusa wakho obuyisa, ulondoloze, uhole, uqaphe futhi unikeze ithemba lethu. Egameni likaKristu, Amen.
