UMlotha, amarhonya, ukuzila ukutya, isohlwayo, ukuthotywa isidima, ukubingelelwa… Le yimixholo eqhelekileyo yeLente. Ngubani ke onokucinga ngeli xesha lokuzisola njenge Ixesha lovuyo? NgeCawa yePasika? Ewe, uvuyo! Kodwa iintsuku ezingamashumi amane zesohlwayo?
Nangona kunjalo, apha kukho i-paradox ye Umnqamlezo: kukufa kanye ukuba sivuke kwakhona kubomi obutsha; kusekukhanyeni isiqu sobuxoki athi umntu azifumane ngokwenene; kukufuna uBukumkani bukaThixo Ekuqaleni endaweni yobukumkani obuncinane bomntu oya kunandipha iziqhamo zoBukumkani Bakhe. Ngelixa singena kuhambo lweNtshumayelo kaKristu ngeli xesha, asinakulibala ukuba sele evulile ubuncwane baseZulwini kwaye unqwenela ukusinika. ngoku oko wakuzuzayo ngokufa nokuvuka kwakhe:
Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. (UYOHANE 10:10)
Ngubani othi kufuneka ulinde kude kube yiCawe yePasika ukuze wazi injabulo wobudlelane noKristu? Kodwa olu vuyo lwamandla angaphezu kwendalo luza ngendlela enye kuphela, kwaye oko kungomnqamlezo. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Abaninzi baya kuphendula bathi, “Iimbandezelo, ukuzibandeza, uburhalarhume, njl.njl…” Leyo yimbono enye, eyathi abangcwele abaliqela bayamkela ngokuqatha. Kodwa mhlawumbi kukho enye indlela yokufikelela kwiLente...
Kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje, umprofeti uYoweli uphinda isibongozo sikaYehova:
Nangoku, utsho uYehova, buyelani kum ngentliziyo yenu yonke.
Xa simfuna uYehova ngentliziyo yethu yonke, ngomphefumlo wethu uphela, ngamandla ethu ephela, nangengqondo yethu ephela, oko kuthetha ukuba, njengoko sifumanisa ngokukhawuleza, kufuneka sikhanyele abanye “oothixo” abanqwenela ukuba inxalenye yeentliziyo zethu; nokuba kukutya, yimali, amandla, iphonografi, ubukrakra, njalo njalo. Kodwa umongo welizwi likaYoweli ulungile, nangona uYehova esithi “Buyelani kum . . . ngokuzila ukudla, nangokulila, nangokwenza isijwili.” INkosi ayikuceli ukuba ube lusizi; Usibonisa ukuba kukho indlela eya injabulo entliziyweni kulowo ungena kuye ukuthobeka kokwenene. Kwaye intobeko yokwenyani ijongene nesono sam, yonke loo nto, intloko phambili. Kukuqonda kwaye kubize bonke ubuqhophololo bam bangaphakathi… Ndiluthuli. Le nyaniso, inyaniso yokuba ndingubani kwaye ndingubani, yinyani yokuqala endikhululayo, eqala ukukhulula uvuyo lukaYesu entliziyweni yam.
Yaye maxa wambi ndinokujongana nale nyaniso ibuhlungu indishiya “ndilila yaye ndisenza isijwili” kanye ngenxa yenyaniso esisiseko yokuba, phezu kwako nje ukuba nesono kwam, ndiyathandwa nguThixo:
…unobabalo nemfesane, yena uzeka kade umsindo, usisityebi ngenceba, uyohlwaya; (ukufunda okokuqala)
Ngaloo ndlela, yonke iVangeli namhlanje malunga nendlela yokuzila ukutya kunye nokunika izipho ayisisikhokelo sobugcisa kodwa i-manifesto kwi Isimo esitsha oko kumele kuphawule ubomi babo bakuMnqophiso oMtsha, “xa abanquli bokwenyaniso baya kumnqula uBawo ngoMoya nangenyaniso.” [1]John 4: 23
Ukuzila, ke ngoko, akukukrazulwa kwengubo kabani, koko kukukrazula kwentliziyo. [2]Ukufunda kuqala Oko kukuthi, ukuyivula ibe banzi intliziyo yomntu kuThixo, ukuze ayizalise, ayiguqule, yona ikamva lethu elitsha kuKristu.
…ukuze sibe bubulungisa bukaThixo kuye. (Ufundo lwesibini)

Ndibuyisele uvuyo losindiso lwakho, Undixhase ngomoya wentumekelelo. Yehova, vula imilebe yomlomo wam, Uyixele indumiso yakho umlomo wam. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)
