Woza Nkosi Jesu
Ukuphila kuleli zwe kusikhathaza kakhulu. Kunezinkinga yonke indawo, kungaba ngezidakamizwa, abafokazi noma izingxabano zezepolitiki. Engeza kulokho ubumpofu, izifo ezingelapheki nokufudumala kwembulunga yonke. Kunezithombe zobulili ezingcolile zezingane, ukushushumbiswa kwabantu nobudlova obungakhethi. Ukwanda kwezikhali zenuzi, izimpi nokuhlasela kwamaphekula kubangela ukukhathazeka. Kubonakala lingekho ikhambi kulokhu ngaphandle kokuba uJesu ebuye futhi, futhi masinyane. Khona-ke, akumangalisi ukuthi amaKristu alangazelela ukubuya kwesibili kukaJesu futhi ethandaza, “Woza, Jesu, woza!”
AmaKristu athembele ekubuyeni kukaJesu okuthenjisiwe futhi alindele ukugcwaliseka kwalesi siprofetho. Ukuchazwa kweziprofetho zeBhayibheli kubonakala kuyindaba eyinkimbinkimbi ngoba ziye zagcwaliseka ngendlela ebingalindelekile. Ngisho nabaprofethi babengakwazi ukwenza isithombe. Ngokwesibonelo, babengazi ukuthi uMesiya wayeyofika kanjani emhlabeni njengomntwana futhi abe kokubili umuntu noNkulunkulu (1. UPetrus 1,10-12). Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi uJesu, njengeNkosi noMsindisi wethu, ahlupheke futhi afele izono zethu futhi aqhubeke enguNkulunkulu? Kuphela lapho kwenzeka ngempela lapho umuntu ayengakuqonda khona. Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, abapristi, ababhali nabaFarisi abafundile babengaqondi. Kunokuba bamukele uJesu ngezandla ezimhlophe, bafuna ukumbulala.
Kungase kuthakazelise ukuqagela ukuthi lezi ziprofetho ziyogcwaliseka kanjani esikhathini esizayo. Kodwa ukusekela insindiso yethu kulezi zincazelo akuhlakaniphile futhi akuhlakaniphile, ikakhulukazi maqondana nezikhathi zokugcina. Unyaka nonyaka, abazibiza ngabaprofethi babikezela usuku oluqondile lokubuya kukaKristu, kodwa kuze kube manje bonke bebenephutha. Kungani kunjalo? Ngoba iBhayibheli belilokhu lisitshela ukuthi asinakusazi isikhathi, ihora noma usuku lwalezi zinto (IzE 1,7; Mathewu 24,36; Mark 13,32). Omunye uzwa phakathi kwamaKristu: “Isimo emhlabeni siya siba sibi nakakhulu! Ngokuqinisekile manje siphila ezinsukwini zokugcina.” Lemicabango iye yahambisana namaKristu kuwo wonke amakhulu eminyaka. Bonke babezizwa sengathi baphila ezinsukwini zokugcina - futhi okuxakayo ukuthi babeqinisile. “Izinsuku Zokugcina” zaqala ngokuzalwa kukaJesu. Kungakho amaKristu aphila ezikhathini zokugcina kusukela ekufikeni kukaJesu kokuqala. Lapho uPawulu etshela uThimothewu ukuthi “kuyofika izikhathi ezinzima ezinsukwini zokugcina.”2. UThimothi 3,1), wayengakhulumi ngesikhathi noma usuku oluthile lwesikhathi esizayo. UPawulu wanezela ukuthi ezinsukwini zokugcina abantu babeyozicabangela bona bephakeme futhi babe abahahayo, abanonya, abahlambalazayo, abangabongi, abangathetheleli, njalonjalo. Wabe esexwayisa: “Bagweme abanjalo” (2. UThimothi 3,2-5). Kusobala ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi babekhona abantu abanjalo. Kungani futhi uPawulu ayengayala ibandla ukuba liqhele kubo? KuMathewu 24,6-7 sitshelwa ukuthi izizwe ziyovukelana futhi kube nezimpi eziningi. Lokhu akuyona into entsha. Kwake kwaba nini isikhathi lapho ingekho impi emhlabeni? Izikhathi zihlezi zizimbi futhi kuya ngokuba kubi kakhulu, akuncono. Siyazibuza ukuthi kufanele kube kubi kangakanani ngaphambi kokuba uKristu abuye. Angazi.
UPawulu wabhala: “Kodwa kunabantu ababi nabakhohlisi lapho liqhubeka liba libi, liba kubi kakhulu.”2. UThimothi 3,13). Nakuba kuba kubi, uPawulu uyaqhubeka: “Kepha nina qhubekani kulokho enikufundile nalokho enikuphathisiwe” (2. UThimothi 3,14).
Ngamanye amazwi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuba kubi kangakanani, kufanele sigcine ukholo lwethu kuKristu. Kufanele senze lokho esiye sabhekana nakho futhi sakufunda emiBhalweni ngoMoya oNgcwele. Phakathi kweziprofetho zeBhayibheli, uNkulunkulu uhlale etshela abantu ukuthi bangesabi. “Ungesabi!” (Daniyeli 10,12.19). Kuzokwenzeka izinto ezimbi, kodwa uNkulunkulu ubusa phezu kwakho konke. UJesu wathi: “Lokhu ngikukhulume kini ukuba nibe nokuthula kimi. Ezweni uyesaba; kepha yimani isibindi, mina ngilinqobile izwe” (Johane 16,33).
Kunezindlela ezimbili zokubheka amagama athi, "Woza Jesu, woza." Omunye uzwakalisa ukulangazelela ukubuya kukaKristu. Okwesibili, isicelo sethu somkhuleko, encwadini yesAmbulo “Amen, yebo, woza, Nkosi Jesu!” ( IsAmbulo 22,20).
“Ngibeka inhliziyo yami kuwe, ngihlala phakathi kwami; ngisize ngikwazi kangcono Nginike ukuthula kwakho kulo mhlaba onesiphithiphithi".
Masithathe isikhathi esithe xaxa sokuphila ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu noKristu! Lapho-ke akudingeki sikhathazeke ngokuphela komhlaba.
