Kungani uNkulunkulu engawuzwa umthandazo wami?
“Kungani uNkulunkulu engawuphenduli umthandazo wami?” Ngihlale ngizitshela ukuthi kumelwe ukuba kunesizathu esihle salokho. Mhlawumbe angithandazanga ngokwentando yakhe, okuyisidingo esingokomBhalo somkhuleko ophendulwe. Mhlawumbe ngisenazo izono engingazisoli ngazo empilweni yami. Ngiyazi ukuthi uma ngihlala njalo kuKristu naseZwini Lakhe, imithandazo yami izophendulwa. Mhlawumbe umbuzo wokukholwa. Ngezinye izikhathi lapho ngithandaza, ngicela okuthile kodwa ngiyangabaza ukuthi umthandazo wami ufanele ukuphendulwa yini. UNkulunkulu akayiphenduli imithandazo engasekelwe okholweni. Ngiyacabanga, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ngizizwa njengobaba kaMarkus 9,24, owababaza ngokuphelelwa yithemba, “Ngiyakholwa; siza ukungakholwa kwami!” Kodwa mhlawumbe esinye sezizathu ezibaluleke kakhulu zemithandazo engaphendulwanga siwukuthi kufanele ngifunde ukumqaphela ngokujulile.
Njengoba uLazaru efa, odadewabo uMarta noMariya batshela uJesu ukuthi uLazaru ugula kakhulu. UJesu wabe esechazela abafundi bakhe ukuthi lesi sifo sasingeke siholele ekufeni, kodwa kunalokho sizokudumisa uNkulunkulu. Walinda ezinye izinsuku ezimbili ngaphambi kokuba agcine esendleleni eya eBethaniya. Ngaleso sikhathi, uLazaru wayesefile kakade. Ukukhala kukaMarta noMaria becela usizo ngokusobala akuzange kuphendulwe. UJesu wayazi ukuthi ngokwenza lokhu nje, uMarta noMariya, kanye nabafundi, babeyofunda futhi bathole okuthile okubaluleke kakhulu! Lapho uMarta ekhuluma naye ngokuza kwakhe, ngokombono wakhe, wamtshela ukuthi uLazaru uzovuka. Wayesezwile kakade ukuthi kuyoba novuko “ngoSuku Lokwahlulela”. Nokho, ayengakakuqapheli ukuthi uJesu Uqobo Lwakhe uwukuvuka nokuphila! nokuthi lowo okholwa kuye uyakuphila noma efa. Sifunda ngalengxoxo kuJohane 11:23-27 : “UJesu wathi kuye: “Umfowenu uzakuvuka futhi; UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi kahle ukuthi uyovuka - ekuvukeni ngosuku lokugcina. UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila. Okholwa yimi, noma efa, wophila; njalo loba ngubani ophilayo akholwe kimi, kasoze afa laphakade. Ucabanga ukuthi? Wathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi, ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obeza ezweni.” Khona-ke, ngaphambi nje kokuba uJesu abize uLazaru aphume ethuneni, wathandaza phambi kwebandla. abantu abalilayo, ukuze bamkholelwe ukuthi unguMesiya othunywe uNkulunkulu: “Ngiyazi ukuthi uhlala ungizwa; kodwa ngenxa yabantu abangingimileyo ngikutsho lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
“Ukube uJesu wasiphendula isicelo sikaMarta noMariya ngokushesha nje lapho sifika kuye, abantu abaningi bebeyosikhumbula lesi sifundo esibalulekile. Ngokufanayo, singazibuza ukuthi bekuzokwenzekani ezimpilweni zethu nasekukhuleni kwethu ngokomoya uma yonke imithandazo yethu ibiphendulwa ngokushesha? Impela besingababaza ubuhlakani bukaNkulunkulu; kodwa ungalokothi umazi ngempela.
Imicabango kaNkulunkulu idlula ngale kwethu. Uyazi ukuthi yini umuntu ayidingayo, nini futhi kangakanani. Ubheka zonke izidingo zomuntu siqu. Uma efeza isicelo, lokho akusho ukuthi ukugcwaliseka nakho kungaba kuhle komunye umuntu omcele okufanayo.
Ngakho-ke ngesikhathi esilandelayo lapho sizwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wehluleka thina ngemikhuleko engazwakalanga, khona-ke kufanele sibheke kude ngalé kokulindelekile kwethu nalabo abasizungezile. NjengoMarta, masimemeze ukholo lwethu kuJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi silinde lowo owazi okungcono kakhulu ngathi.
