NGESIKHATHI lesi sikhathi "sokuhlehla" kuleli sonto eledlule, amagama athi "Kolose 2: 1”Kwakhanya enhliziyweni yami ngolunye usuku ekuseni.
Ngoba ngifuna nazi ukuthi nginomshikashika omkhulu kangakanani ngani nakulabo abaseLawodikeya nakubo bonke abangibonanga ubuso nobuso, ukuze izinhliziyo zabo zikhuthazeke lapho behlanganiswa ngothando, ukuba babe nokunotha konke wokuqonda okuphelele, okwazi imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu, uKristu, okufihlwe kuye yonke ingcebo yokuhlakanipha neyolwazi. (Kol 2: 1)
Ngalokho, ngezwa ukuthi iNkosi ingicela ukuthi ngihole abafundi bami ekubuyeni ngokomoya kule Lent. Isikhathi. Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ibutho likaNkulunkulu ligqoke izikhali zalo zokomoya futhi liholele empini. Kade silindile ku- Isisekelo; simiswe odongeni, "sibhekile futhi sithandaza."

Cha, wehlela eJerusalema ngokuthanda kwakhe.[1]qhathanisa Isivivinyo Seminyaka Eyisikhombisa Wahlanza ithempeli. Wabakhuza abaFarisi. Wageza izinyawo zabafundi Bakhe, futhi wasungula iMisa eNgcwele. Wangena eGetsemane ngentando yakhe, wase ekunikela ngokuphelele kuYise. Wavumela izitha zaKhe ukuba "zimbambe" ngokumkhaphela, zimshaye ngentando, futhi zimgwebele ukufa. Wathatha isiphambano saKhe futhi wasithwala wasiyisa eNgqungqutheleni, kwangathi uphakamise phezulu ithoshi elizohola wonke amawundlu egumbini lovuko, Inkululeko. Lapho, eKalvari, edonsa umoya wakhe wokugcina, wakhipha umoya waKhe ekusaseni leSonto… ku umzuzu wamanje.
Futhi manje, bafowethu nodadewethu, engikanye nabo abakhathele, sekuyisikhathi sokubamba lesi Siphefumulo SikaJesu SikaNkulunkulu. Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sihogele impilo kaKristu ukuze nathi sikwazi ukuvuka enyameni yethu, sivuke ekunganakeni kwethu, sivuke ebuzweni bomhlaba, sivuke ebuthongweni bethu.
Isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami, wangikhipha ngomoya weNkosi, wangibeka enkabeni yesigodi esibanzi. Kwakugcwele amathambo. Wangenza ukuba ngihambe phakathi kwabo nxazonke.
