Ungubani uJesu?Isampula

UJesu UyiNkosi Evukile Kwabafileyo

Uke waya emngcwabeni? Ngiyazi ukuthi lo mbuzo unzima futhi ngiyaxolisa ngokuwubuza ngaphandle kwesango. Kodwa imingcwabo iphakamisa zonke izinhlobo zemibuzo emikhulu ngokufa, ngisho nangokuphila ngemva kokufa. 

Ingabe ukufa kufana nesikhathi (noma isitobhi) esiqeda isigwebo sethu sasemhlabeni? Noma ingabe ukufa kufana nekhefana elisishintshela kolunye uhlobo lokuphila?  

Ingabe sikhona isizathu sokukholelwa ekuphileni ngemva kokufa, nethemba ngale kwethuna?

Isigameko sendaba esisanda kuyifunda senzeka ekamelweni eliphezulu ngemva nje kokuba amaRoma ebulale uJesu. Abafundi sebebuthene, bethukile ngenxa yalokhu kuguquka kwezenzakalo okudabukisayo, lapho, kungazelelwe, uJesu ebonakala phakathi kwabo. 

Manje, lesi bekungesikho okokuqala ukuthi uJesu ethuse abafundi bakhe ngokuziveza ephila futhi. Nokho, uTomase wayengekho ngalezo zikhathi futhi wayelokhu engabaza ngayo yonke le ndaba, ngakho uJesu uya yedwa futhi athi, 

“Faka umunwe wakho lapha; bheka izandla zami. Yelula isandla sakho usifake ohlangothini lwami. Yekani ukungabaza nikholwe.” UTomase wathi kuye: “Nkosi yami noNkulunkulu wami” (amavesi 27, 28)

Yilapho sithola khona inkulumo ethi “ukungabaza kukaTomase”.

Manje, njengoTomase, sonke singaba nezikhathi zokungabaza; izikhathi lapho singabaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungokoqobo noma cha; izikhathi lapho sizibuza ukuthi uJesu usithanda ngempela yini. Singase sizithole sizibuza, “Ingabe konke lokhu kuyiqiniso ngempela?” "Ngingakwethemba engingakuboni?" 

Siyabonga, uNkulunkulu akakwesabi ukungabaza kwethu, futhi lapho sizwakalisa ukungabaza kwethu kuNkulunkulu lokho empeleni kuyisenzo sokholo. Eqinisweni, sifunda kule ndaba ukuthi uJesu uzimisele ukusondela kithi phakathi kwemibuzo yethu, futhi ngokuvamile ukholo oluqinile, oluqiniseka ngokwengeziwe lutholakala ngakolunye uhlangothi lokulwa nokungabaza kwethu.

Kodwa, ngaphandle kokungabaza, izindaba ezinhle ziwukuthi sinezizathu eziningi eziqinile zokukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa uJesu kwabafileyo. Nazi ezimbalwa: 

• Ithuna likaJesu latholwa lingenalutho ngeSonto ngemva kokuba ebethelwe esiphambanweni futhi kwathiwa ufile. 


• UJesu wabonakala kubafundi bakhe ezinsukwini ezingamashumi amane, kuhlanganise nabangabazayo abafana noTomase, nakubaphikisi abafana noJakobe noPawulu, ababengebona abalandeli bakaJesu ekuqaleni.


• Ngenxa yalokhu kubonakala, izimpilo zabafundi zashintsha kakhulu kangangokuthi abaningi babo babezimisele ukuhlupheka futhi bafele ukholo lwabo kuJesu. Ngokusobala abantu bafela izizathu (noma izinkolo) abakholelwa ukuthi ziyiqiniso, kodwa akekho umuntu ophile kahle ofela into abazi ukuthi ingamanga! Njengoba le ndaba isikhumbuza, abafundi bokuqala babesesimweni sokwazi ukuthi izindaba eziphathelene nokuvuka kukaJesu zaziyiqiniso noma cha!

Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuchaza ukukhula kobuKristu kanye nokuguqulwa okuqhubekayo kwezimpilo kuze kube namuhla, kanye nalo lonke ulwazi olubalwe ngenhla, ukuvuka kukaJesu Kristu! 

Lolu hlelo lokufunda iBhayibheli lwezinsuku ezinhlanu lugxile ekutheni uJesu ungubani. Ukuvuswa kukaJesu ngokwenyama kusinikeza umkhondo wokugcina. 

UNkulunkulu, uqobo Lwakhe, ukuqinisekisile ubuntu bukaJesu ngesimangaliso. 

UJesu ngempela uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu noMsindisi wethu! 

Uvuko lusho ukuthi ukufa akulitholi izwi lokugcina.

Kukhona ithemba ngale kwethuna. 

Ukufa akusona isikhathi; kuyikhefana esingenisa ebukhoneni bukaJesu. 

Futhi siyamenywa ukuba siphendukele kuJesu ngokwenanela amazwi kaTomase: “Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!”
