Woza uzobona!

La mazwi asimema ukuba siye kuJesu ukuze sizibonele indlela yakhe yokuphila. Ngothando nozwela lwakhe usenza sikwazi ukuba nobuhlobo obuseduze naye. Masimethembe futhi simvumele aguqule izimpilo zethu ngobukhona bakhe!

Ngosuku olulandelayo, ngemva kokubhapathizwa kukaJohane uMbhapathizi, uJesu wema nababili babafundi bakhe futhi wabona uJesu ehamba. Wathi, "Bheka iWundlu likaNkulunkulu!" Laba ababili bezwa uJesu ekhuluma, bamlandela masinyane. Waphenduka, wakhuluma kubo, wathi: Nifunani na? Bambuza umbuzo ophikisayo: Nkosi, uhlalaphi na? Waphendula: "Wozani nibone!" (kusuka kuJohane 1,35 - 49) Ngalesi sicelo, uJesu unikeza abafuna ukungena embusweni wakhe futhi ulungele ukuza ukuzozibonela.

Ukucabanga ngalolu bizo kufanele kube isikhuthazo sempilo yethu ebonakalayo. Ukubuka uJesu kungumqaphi wamehlo. Ukuzindla ngobuntu bakhe nendlela aphila ngayo kwagcwalisa izinhliziyo zikaJohane, ababili babafundi bakhe kanye nabo bonke ababheke kuJesu kuze kube namuhla. Abafundi bokuqala abalandela uJesu njengeNkosi yabo kwakunguJohane umPhostoli no-Andreya. Babebonile ukuthi uJesu wayesho ukuthini kubo, ngakho babefuna ukuzwa okwengeziwe ngaye nokubona ukuthi wayenzani.

Bafunani abantu kuJesu? Ukuhlala noJesu kwakha ubudlelwano bomuntu siqu naye. Ingxoxo enganakekile nje yemibuzo yokholo ayiyisi muntu ndawo, ngakho uJesu umema bonke abantu ukuba beze bazombona futhi bazizwele ngaye.

Ngemva kwesikhashana, umfundi uFiliphu wahlangana nomngane wakhe uNathanayeli. Wamtshela ngentshiseko ngokujwayelana kwakhe okusha noJesu nokuthi wayeyindodana kaJosefa waseNazaretha ethenjisiwe. UNathanayeli waphendula wathi, “Izinto ezinhle zingavela eGalile na? UFiliphu, engaqiniseki ngokuthi angakudambisa kanjani ukukhathazeka kukaNathanayeli, wamtshela amazwi afanayo iNkosi eyayiwashilo kubafundi ababili: “Wozani nibone!” UFiliphu wayethembekile emehlweni omngane wakhe kangangokuthi wafuna uJesu futhi, ngenxa yokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe noJesu, wavuma: "Wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, iNkosi yakwa-Israyeli!" La mazwi asikhuthaza ukuba siwalalele ngisho nasezikhathini ezinzima nezimo ezinzima.

Odadewabo ababili uMarta noMariya balilela ukufa komfowabo uLazaru. Babengabangane bakaJesu. Esosizini lwabo wababuza: "Niyibekephi, futhi wathola impendulo: "Wozani nibone!" Babengambiza ngokuqiniseka uJesu emphakathini wabo bazi ukuthi uJesu uhlale ekulungele ukuza futhi azobona. Othandweni lukaJesu: "Wozani nibone!"
