UJesu: UMbuso kaNkulunkulu
Yini ebaluleke kakhulu empilweni yakho? Ingabe ujesu Ingabe iphuzu lakho lokugxila, indawo yokugxila, i-fulcrum, indawo ebalulekile yempilo yakho? UJesu uyisisekelo sempilo yami. Ngaphandle kwakhe angiphili, ngaphandle kwakhe akukho okungisebenzela endleleni efanele. Kepha ngoJesu, injabulo engakanani, ngihlala embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Emva kwesivumo sokukholwa sokuthi uJesu uMesiya, othunywe nguNkulunkulu, unguKristu, ngiyaqinisa kuwe: “Uhlala noJesu embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngokuba uphakathi kwenu, phakathi kwethu”.
Die Pharisäer fragten Jesus, wann das Reich Gottes komme. Darauf antwortete er: "Das Reich Gottes kommt nicht so, dass man es an äusseren Anzeichen erkennen kann. Man wird auch nicht sagen können: Seht, hier ist es! Oder: Es ist dort! Nein, das Reich Gottes ist mitten unter euch. Oder: „Seht, das Reich Gottes ist inwendig in euch„ (Lukas 17, 20-21 NGÜ).
Ngokushesha nje lapho uJesu eqala ukushumayela ngombuso kaNkulunkulu ngegunya, abaFarisi base belapho. Bamsola ngokuhlambalaza nakuba ebatshela iqiniso. Wafakaza evangelini lakhe ukuthi isikhathi sase sifikile nokuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu wawusufikile (ngokukaMarku 1,14-15). Emthonjeni kaJakobe, kufika owesifazane waseSamariya ezokha amanzi. UJesu uqala ingxoxo naye: “Ngiphuzise!” “UJesu waphendula: “Ukube ubusazi ukuthi isipho sikaNkulunkulu siyini nokuthi ubani othi kuwe: “Ngiphuzise, ubuyocela kuye futhi ubeyongiphuzisa. wakunika amanzi omthombo, amanzi aphilayo. Kodwa lowo oyakuphuza amanzi engizamnika wona kasoze aphinde ome. Amanzi engizomnika wona ayoba kuye umthombo ogobhoza ngokungaphezi ekuphileni okuphakade.” (Joh 4,9-14 NGÜ).
UJesu futhi ukunika indlela yakhe yokuphila ukuze igeleze ngokungaphezi phakathi kwakho nomakhelwane wakho, manje nasekuphileni okuphakade ovukweni. “Kodwa isikhathi siyeza, yebo sesifikile, lapho abantu bezakhonza uNkulunkulu njengoBaba, abantu abagcwaliswe ngoMoya njalo sebelazi iqiniso. UNkulunkulu ungumoya, futhi labo abafuna ukumkhulekela kumelwe bakhulekele ngomoya nangeqiniso.” ( Joh 4,23-26 NGÜ).
Umkhulekela kanjani uNkulunkulu ngomoya nangeqiniso? UJesu uthi: “Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha!” Uma nihlala emvinini kaJesu, niyothela izithelo, nithele izithelo eziningi, yebo izithelo eziningi. Kufanele usebenzise isithelo uJesu akunika sona ukuze usinikeze omakhelwane bakho. Uthando, nokujabula, nokuthula, nokubekezela, nobubele, nobuvi, nokukholeka, nobumnene, nokuzithiba, indlela kaNkulunkulu yokuphila, akuzona nje isithelo sikaMoya, kodwa kuwukubonakaliswa kothando lwakho ngomakhelwane wakho. Umthombo wothando, uJesu, ogeleza ngokungaphezi, akasoze woma, kodwa kunalokho ageleza ekuphileni okuphakade. Lokhu kuyiqiniso namuhla nangesikhathi esizayo, lapho umbuso kaNkulunkulu uyobonakala ngokugcwele.
Ngawe, uJesu uziveza koshade naye, ezinganeni zakho nakubazali bakho, kubangani bakho nakwabanye abantu, noma behluke kanjani. UJesu ufuna uthando lwakhe olugeleza kuwe lugeleze luze phakathi kwalaba makhelwane. Ungathanda ukwabelana ngalolu thando nabathandekayo bakho ngoba uyabahlonipha njengoba uzhlonipha wena.
Mina nawe sinethemba eliphilayo ngoba uJesu, ngokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo, usibekele ifa lokungafi: Ukuphila okuphakade embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Yilokhu engigxila kukho: KuJesu embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
