Ukubuya: Awukephuzi Kakhulu Futhi Awukho kude KakhuluIsampula

Ujesu Wanele

Sifunde izindaba eziningi ezimayelana nabantu abanqoba ngempumelelo izithiyo njengengxenye yenqubo yabo yokubuya. Umuntu uyasuka ekulimaleni aye ekuphulukisweni, osizini aye enjabulweni, asuke ekulahlekelweni aye enzuzweni. Lezi zindaba zinamandla futhi ziyakhuthaza. Kodwa senzani lapho ukubuya kwasemhlabeni kungenakwenzeka? Senzenjani lapho othandekayo eshonile, noma ibhizinisi lingasekho, noma isehlukaniso sesiphelile? Senzenjani uma iqiniso liwukuthi isimo sethu ngeke sixazulule kulokhu kuphila?

Ukuze uthole impendulo singaphendukela endabeni ka-Eliya nomfelokazi ku-1 AmaKhosi 17:8-24. Lapho indaba iqala, u-Eliya wayekhempile empumalanga yoMfula iJordani, ngasemfuleni iKeriti, lapho uNkulunkulu ayemnakekela khona usuku ngalunye. Nokho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uNkulunkulu watshela u-Eliya ukuba aye eZarefati, lapho umfelokazi ayezomnakekela khona. Lo mfelokazi wayengacebile-singakubona lokho kusukela embhalweni. Wayenendodana eyodwa, futhi nokudla kwabo kwase kunciphe ngendlela eyingozi.

Umphrofethi wamthola umfelokazi, wacela amanzi amancane embizeni neqatha lesinkwa. “Akunankinga,” kusho yena, noma amazwi asho lokhu. “Esengisele nakho yimpuphu egcwele isandla ekhaya kanye nalamafutha okupheka embizeni. Ngizosebenzisa lezi zinti zokukhuhla engiziqoqayo ukuze ngibase umlilo lapho ngifika ekhaya. Ngizosebenzisa lesi sicethe sokugcina samafutha ami nofulawa ukuze ngibhakele mina nendodana yami ukudla okuncane kokugcina. Sizokudla lokho, bese siyakufa. Ufuna ukudla kwami ​​kokugcina? Kulungile? Uma ngikunika kona, konke okwenzayo kuwukusheshisa ukuphela kosizi lwethu.”

Uke waba lapho? Ekupheleni kwentambo yakho? Kuzwakala kunokuphambana kakhulu ukuthi lapho siphansi kakhulu, uNkulunkulu ucela okuthile kithi? Usimema ukuba simnike ukudla kwethu kokugcina. Uyazi ukuthi leso sidlo simeleni? Kuyithemba lethu eligcwele. Lapho siphansi kakhulu futhi sibuthakathaka, uJesu usimema ukuba simnikeze konke esikushiyile. Usimema ukuba simnike okuncane kwethu, noma ngabe kuyini okuncane kwethu. Lapho sinikela ngokuncane kwethu, sibeka ithemba lethu eligcwele kuye.

Lapho umfelokazi enza njengoba nje u-Eliya ayemyalile, kwabakhona ukudla nsuku zonke kuka-Eliya nokwakhe nendodana yakhe. Imbiza kafulawa ayizange iphele, nojeke wamafutha awuphelanga. Wadela konke ayenakho, wagcina esenokunye okuningi.

Uma uJesu anele ezimpilweni zethu, sigxila kulokho esinakho, hhayi kulokho esingenakho. Siyambonga uNkulunkulu futhi asimthuki. Sigqolozela uNkulunkulu futhi sigijimela kuye, singasuki kuye. Siyakholelwa kuNkulunkulu futhi asimngabazi, nakuba singaziqondi izimo zethu. Siyamcela ukuthi athathe ingxenye yethu esele futhi enze lokho afuna sibe yikho. Uma singebuye, ukubuya ukuthi uJesu wanele.
