Uthando luyalinda. Xa sithanda umntu ngokwenene, okanye into ethile, siya kulinda into esiyithandayo. Kodwa xa isiza kuThixo, ukulinda ubabalo lwaKhe, uncedo lwaKhe, uxolo lwaKhe… yena… Uninzi lwethu alulindi. Imicimbi siyithathela ezandleni zethu, okanye siphelelwe lithemba, okanye sibe nomsindo kwaye siphelelwe ngumonde, okanye siqale ukunyanga iintlungu zethu zangaphakathi kunye noxinzelelo ngokuxakeka, ingxolo, ukutya, utywala, ukuthenga ... Iyeza lentliziyo yomntu, kwaye yiyo le Nkosi esenzelwe yona.
Xa uYesu wabandezelekayo, wafa, waza wavuka, uMariya waseMagadala wabaleka waya kubapostile ukubaxelela ukuba ingcwaba alinanto. Behla, kwaye babona ingcwaba lingenanto "libuyela ekhaya".
Wasala ke uMariya ngaphandle kwengcwaba, elila. ( Yohane 20:11 )
Uthando luyalinda. Apha, uMariya ufuzisela into ekufuneka ikholwa ngalinye libe yiyo elinqwenela ukudibana neNkosi evukileyo: umntu olindele iNtanda. Kodwa yena ulinde iinyembezi ngokuba akazi apho ikhoyo iNkosi. Hayi indlela esinokuvakalelwa ngayo ngokufuthi ngale ndlela, kwanaxa singamaKristu kangangamashumi eminyaka! “Uphi na Nkosi kwesi meko ibuhlungu kangaka? Uphi na Nkosi kwesi sigulo? Uphi kule lahleko yomsebenzi? Emthandazweni wam? Kuko konke oku kungaqiniseki? Bendicinga ukuba ndingumhlobo wakho, ukuba ndithembekile… kwaye ngoku le Nkosi? Ekuphela kwento endiyivayo nendiyivayo nendiyibonayo ngalo mzuzu kukungabi nanto kwengcwaba.”
Kodwa walinda, kuba uthando lulindele iNtanda.
Kodwa akezi kwangoko. Okokuqala, ujonga enzulwini yengcwaba… ubunzulu bentlupheko yakhe nokungabi nakuzinceda. Apho wabona iingelosi ezibini zimbuza ukuba ulilela ntoni na, ngokungathi zisithi, “Kutheni ucinga ukuba uYesu ukulahlile?” Mhlawumbi impendulo awayenokuyiphendula yenye yezi: “Ngenxa yokuba ndone kakhulu,” okanye “Ngenxa yokuba ndimphoxa,” okanye “ndenze iimpazamo ezininzi ebomini bam,” okanye “Akandifuni. … angafuna njani me?” Kodwa ngenxa yokuba esazi ukuba Nguye kuphela onokuwaphilisa amanxeba akhe, uyalinda—uthando luyalinda. Ekugqibeleni, umfumana ongazange amshiye. kodwa ngubani owahlala efihliwe.
Athi uYesu kuye, Mfazi, ulilelani na? Ufuna bani? Wayecinga ukuba ngumgcini-myezo, wathi kuye, Nkosi, ukuba umsusile, ndixelele apho umbeke khona; Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Mariya! ( Yohane 20:15-16 )
Ewe, Naye uyabuza ukuba ulilelani na. Kodwa ubukho bakhe buphendula lo mbuzo:
Abahlwayela ngeenyembezi baya kuvuna bevuya. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)
Kufuneka silinde ixesha elingakanani? Impendulo inde ngokwaneleyo, yaye nguThixo kuphela owaziyo ukuba kumele kube lixesha elingakanani na. Kodwa ndingakuxelela ukuba, ekubeni ndingumfundi kaYesu ixesha elininzi lobomi bam (kwaye ndafumana ilahleko engathethekiyo, iintsizi, kunye nezilingo ngeli xesha), akakhe afike emva kwexesha kuba akazange amke kwasekuqaleni. Kodwa ukuze ndifumane amandla aKhe, intuthuzelo yaKhe, uxolo lwaKhe nenceba, ndimelwe kukuba umnqweno Yena. Kuya kufuneka ndikulungele ukulinda engcwabeni lokungabi nakuzinceda kunye nobuthathaka bam kunokuba "ndibuyele ekhaya" kwindawo apho "ndilawula khona", kuba kanye kule ndawo yokuzinikela ndiya kudibana namandla onke kunye namandla. kaThixo lakufika ixesha elifanelekileyo.
Obu butyebi sibubambe ngezitya zodongwe, ukuze amandla ancamisayo abe ngakaThixo, angaphumi kuthi. Siyabandezelwa ngandlela zonke, kodwa asixineki; siyathingaza, singancami; sitshutshiswa, kodwa asishiywa; sikhahlelwa phantsi, asitshatyalaliswa; sihlala sikuthwele ngomzimba ukufa kukaYesu, ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe emizimbeni yethu… (Isifundo sokuqala namhlanje)
Ewe, uthando luyalinda. Oku "kufa kukaYesu" endikuthwele ngaphakathi kum kukuyeka ukuzicingela, ukulawula, ngokuthanda kwam. Kwaye kunzima kangakanani oku, ngakumbi kwizinto ezilula zemihla ngemihla xa ndilahlekelwa zizitshixo zam, okanye abantwana bayayilibala imisebenzi yabo yasekhaya, okanye ndenza impazamo yobudenge. Kwaye akukhathaliseki nokuba ubani ungunongendi okanye ungumbingeleli okanye umfundisi. Indlela iyafana, indlela yoMnqamlezo. Njengoko uYesu wababuzayo uYakobi noYohane,
Ninako na ukuyisela indebe yam endiya kuyisela?... Okunene indebe yam niya kuyisela… (IiVangeli zanamhlanje)
Ekugqibeleni uYakobi wafela ukholo waza uYohane wagxothwa ePatmos. Bamele zombini imiba "esebenzayo" kunye "nokucamngca" yeCawa. Sekunjalo, indlela yethu sonke iyafana: indlela yoMnqamlezo esikhokelela engcwabeni kunye nokuhlangana kweNkosi eVukileyo.
Umbuzo ngowokuba ingaba sizimisele na ukulinda uncedo lweNkosi, iyeza leNkosi, izisombululo zeNkosi, ubulumko beNkosi, nolungiselelo lweNkosi, kunye nendlela yeNkosi yokutyhila indlela yobomi bethu? Oku kungathatha iintsuku ezimbalwa, okanye mhlawumbi amashumi ambalwa eminyaka. Kodwa ekulindeni bubungqina bothando lwethu.
kuba uthando luyalinda.
Enkosi ngenkxaso yakho.
Usikelele, kwaye enkosi.
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
