UJesu Utshumayela NgoMbuso

UJesu esanda nje ukubhabhathizwa wahle waqalisa ukutshumayela esithi: ‘UMbuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze.’ Abafundi bamlandela ngesikhathi etshumayela eGalile laseJudiya. Wathi ebuyela eNazaretha lapho ayekhulele khona, waya esinagogeni, wavula incwadimgoqwa ka-Isaya, wasebalela phezulu esithi: ‘UJehova usenginike umoya ongcwele ukuze ngitshumayele izindaba ezinhle.’ Lokhu kwakusitsho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wanika uJesu umoya ongcwele ukuze atshumayele izindaba ezinhle hatshi ukuthi enze izimangaliso kuphela. UJesu wasetshela abantu wathi: ‘Isiphrofetho lesi sigcwalisekile lamuhla.’

Esuka lapho, waya eLwandle lwaseGalile lapho ahlangana khona labafundi bakhe abane ababengabagoli benhlanzi. Wathi kubo: ‘Ngilandelani, ngizalenza abagoli babantu.’ Amabizo abo kwakunguPhetro, u-Andreya, uJakhobe loJohane. Bahle batshiya ukugola inhlanzi bamlandela. Babhoda iGalile betshumayela ngoMbuso kaJehova. Batshumayela emasinagogeni, emamakethe lasemigwaqweni. Babelandelwa lixuku elikhulu. Abantu bonke okugoqela labaseSiriya, bezwa ngoJesu.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uJesu wapha abanye abalandeli bakhe amandla okusilisa abantu lawokuxotsha amadimoni. Abanye babehamba laye betshumayela kuyo yonke imizi lakuwo wonke amadolobho. UMariya Magadalena, uJowana, uSusana labanye abesifazana babebanakekela.

UJesu waqala wabafundisa abafundi bakhe engakabathumi. Batshumayela iGalile yonke futhi abanengi baba ngabafundi babhabhathizwa. Banengi ababefuna ukuba ngabafundi okokuthi uJesu waze wabafananisa lensimu esilungele ukuvunwa. Wathi: ‘Celani uJehova athume ezinye izisebenzi zokuvuna.’ Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile wakhetha abafundi abangu-70 njalo wabathuma ngababili ukuthi batshumayele kulo lonke elaseJudiya. Babetshumayeza bonke abantu mayelana loMbuso. Abafundi batshela uJesu konke okwakwenzakale ekuhambeni kwabo. Kwakungelalutho uSathane ayengalwenza ukuthi amise umsebenzi wokutshumayela.
