Gubha ukuvuka kukaJesu

Njalo ngonyaka ngeSonto lePhasika, amaKristu emhlabeni wonke ahlangana ukugubha ukuvuka kukaJesu ndawonye. Abanye abantu babingelelana ngokubingelela ngokwesiko. Lesi sisho sithi: "Uvukile!" Ukuphendula lokhu, impendulo ithi: "Uvukile ngempela!" Ngiyayithanda indlela esizigubha ngayo izindaba ezinhle ngale ndlela, kodwa impendulo yethu kulokhu kubingelela ingabonakala ingathi shu. Kucishe kufane nokuthi "Manje yini?" izonamathisela. Lokho kwangenza ngacabanga.

Eminyakeni eminingi edlule lapho ngizibuza lo mbuzo, ngithatha ukuvuka kukaJesu Kristu njengento ekha phezulu, ngavula iBhayibheli ukuze ngithole impendulo. Njengoba ngifunda, ngabona ukuthi indaba ayizange iphele ngale ndlela yokubingelela.

Abafundi nabalandeli bajabula lapho bebona ukuthi itshe seligingqiwe, ithuna lalingenalutho, futhi uJesu wavuka kwabafileyo. Kulula ukukhohlwa ukuthi ngemva kwezinsuku ezingu-40 uJesu evusiwe wabonakala kubalandeli bakhe futhi wabajabulisa kakhulu.

Enye yezindaba engizikhonzile zePhasika yenzeka endleleni eya e-Emawusi. Amadoda amabili kwadingeka athathe uhambo olunzima kakhulu. Kodwa kwakungaphezu kohambo olude olwabenza badikibala. Izinhliziyo nezingqondo zabo zazikhathazekile. Uyabona, laba ababili babengabalandeli bakaKristu, futhi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule indoda ababeyibiza ngokuthi uMsindisi yabethelwa esiphambanweni. Njengoba beqhubeka, kwafika umuntu abangamazi bengalindele, wagijima nabo emgwaqeni, wahlanganyela engxoxweni, wacosha lapho ababekhona. Wabafundisa izinto ezimangalisayo; iqala kubaprofethi iqhubeke kuyo yonke imibhalo. Wavula amehlo akhe ukuze abone ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuphila nokufa kukaMfundisi wakhe othandekayo. Lo muntu angamazi wamthola edabukile wamholela ethembeni njengoba behamba bexoxa ndawonye.

Ekugcineni bafika lapho babeya khona. Yebo, amadoda acela izihambi ezihlakaniphile ukuba zihlale nazo zidle nazo. Kwaze kwathi uma le ndoda eyinqaba yabusisa isinkwa yasihlephula lapho kwavela khona kubo futhi babona ukuthi ungubani - kodwa yabe isingasekho. INkosi yabo uJesu Kristu yabonakala kubo ivusiwe enyameni. Kwakungekho ukuphika; Nangempela wayesevukile.

Phakathi neminyaka emithathu yenkonzo kaJesu, wafeza izinto ezimangalisayo:
Wasuthisa abantu abayizi-5.000 40 ngezinkwa ezimbalwa nezinhlanzi; waphulukisa izinyonga nezimpumputhe; wakhipha amademoni futhi wavusa abafileyo ekuphileni; wahamba phezu kwamanzi futhi wasiza omunye wabafundi bakhe ukuba enze okufanayo! Ngemva kokufa nokuvuswa kwakhe, uJesu wenza inkonzo yakhe ngendlela ehlukile. Ezinsukwini Zakhe ezingu eziholela eKuphakameni, uJesu wasibonisa indlela iBandla okufanele liphile ngayo izindaba ezinhle. Futhi yayibukeka kanjani? Wadla isidlo sasekuseni nabafundi bakhe, efundisa futhi ekhuthaza wonke umuntu ayehlangana naye endleleni yakhe. Wasiza nalabo ababenokungabaza. Khona-ke, ngaphambi kokuba aye ezulwini, uJesu wayala abafundi bakhe ukuba benze okufanayo. Isibonelo sikaJesu Kristu singikhumbuza lokho engikwazisayo ngomphakathi wethu wokholo. Asifuni ukusala ngemuva kweminyango yesonto lethu, kodwa kunalokho sifinyelele emhlabeni wangaphandle lokho esikutholile futhi sibonise uthando kubantu.

Sibheka ukubaluleka okukhulu ekufinyeleleni konke okuhle, umusa, nokusiza abantu lapho singabathola khona. Lokhu kungasho ukumane nje udle nothile, njengoba kwenza uJesu e-Emawuse. Noma mhlawumbe lolo sizo luboniswa ngokunikeza i-lift noma isithembiso sokuyothengela asebekhulile, noma mhlawumbe luwukunikeza amazwi esikhuthazo kumngane odangele. UJesu usikhumbuza ngendlela ahlangana ngayo nabantu ngendlela elula, njengasendleleni eya e-Emawuse, nokuthi ibaluleke kangakanani isisa. Kubalulekile ukuthi siqaphele ukuvuswa kwethu ngokomoya ekubhapathizweni. Wonke umuntu okholwa kuKristu, owesilisa noma owesifazane, uyisidalwa esisha - umntwana kaNkulunkulu. UMoya oNgcwele usinika impilo entsha - impilo kaNkulunkulu kithi. Njengesidalwa esisha, uMoya oNgcwele uyasishintsha ukuze sihlanganyele kakhulu othandweni lukaKristu oluphelele ngoNkulunkulu nabantu. Uma ukuphila kwethu kukuKristu, khona-ke sihlanganyela ekuphileni kwakhe, kokubili enjabulweni nasothandweni oluye lwavivinywa futhi lwavivinywa. Singabahlanganyeli bokuhlupheka kwakhe, ukufa kwakhe, ukulunga kwakhe, kanye nokuvuka kwakhe, ukwenyuka kwakhe kanye nokukhazinyuliswa kwakhe ekugcineni. Njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, siyizindlalifa kanye noKristu, esamukelwe ebuhlotsheni bakhe obuphelele noYise. Ngokuphathelene nalokhu, sibusiswe ngakho konke uKristu asenzele kona ukuze sibe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu abathandekayo, sihlanganiswe naye—enkazimulweni kuze kube phakade!

Yilokhu okwenza iWorldwide Church of God (WCG) ibe umphakathi okhethekile. Sizibophezele ekubeni izandla nezinyawo zikaJesu Kristu kuwo wonke amazinga enhlangano yethu lapho zidingeka khona kakhulu. Sifuna ukuthanda abanye abantu njengoba uJesu Kristu esithanda ngokuba khona kwabadangele, ngokunikeza ithemba kwabasweleyo nangokuletha uthando lukaNkulunkulu ekuphileni ezintweni ezincane nezinkulu. Njengoba sigubha ukuvuka kukaJesu nempilo yethu entsha kuye, singakhohlwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyaqhubeka nokusebenza. Sonke sihileleke kule nkonzo kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sihamba endleleni enothuli noma sihlezi etafuleni lokudlela. Ngibonga kakhulu ukwesekwa kwenu okunomusa nokubamba iqhaza kwakho enkonzweni ephilayo yomphakathi wethu wendawo, kazwelonke kanye nomhlaba wonke.

Asigubhe ukuvuka kwabafileyo
