Ubomi Nobulungiseleli BukaYesu

Lungiselela Ikamva Ngokwenza Ngobulumko

UYESU usandul’ ukuqukumbela ibali lonyana wolahleko kwisihlwele esiquka abafundi bakhe, ababuthi berhafu abanganyanisekanga nabanye aboni abaziwayo nababhali nabaFarisi. Ngoku, ethetha nabafundi bakhe, ubalisa ngomzekeliso omalunga nomntu osisityebi owafumana ingxelo enganelisiyo engomphathi wendlu yakhe, okanye igosa lakhe.

Ngokutsho kukaYesu, lo mntu usisityebi ubiza igosa lakhe aze alixelele ukuba uza kuligxotha. Igosa limangalisiwe lithi: “Ndiya kuthini na? Ngokuba inkosi yam iyabuhlutha ubugosa kum; ukumba kundikhohlile; ukungqiba, ndineentloni. O! ndiyayazi into endiya kuyenza, ukuze xa ndithe ndakhutshwa ebugoseni, bandamkele ezindlwini zabo.”

Liyintoni icebo leli gosa? Kaloku, libiza bonke abanamatyala enkosini yalo. Liyabuza lisithi, “Unatyala lingakanani na?”

Owokuqala uyaphendula esithi: ‘Ziilitha ezingama-2 200 zeoli.’

Liyamxelela lisithi: ‘Thabatha iphetshana lakho elibhaliweyo uhlale phantsi uze ngokukhawuleza ubhale iilitha ezili-1 100.’

Libuza omnye lisithi: ‘Wena ke unatyala lingakanani na?’

Uthi: Ngama-22 000 eelitha zengqolowa.

‘Thabatha iphetshana lakho, ubhale i-18 000.’

Igosa lisenemvume yokunciphisa amatyala atyalwa inkosi yalo, ekubeni lisabophelelekile ngemicimbi yemali yenkosi yalo. Ngoko ngokunciphisa ezi zixa zemali, lizenzela izihlobo nabo banokulibuyekeza ngobubele xa liphelelwa ngumsebenzi.

Xa inkosi isiva oko kwenzekileyo, iyachukumiseka. Enyanisweni, “iyalincoma igosa elingalungisiyo ngokuba lenza ngokuqonda [ngobulumko, NW].” Eneneni, uYesu wongezelela esithi: “Ngokuba bona abeli phakade kwesabo isizukulwana banokuqonda [benza ngobulumko, NW], ngaphezu kwabo abokukhanya.”

Ngoku, ecacisela abafundi bakhe ngesi sifundo, uYesu uyabakhuthaza esithi: “Zenzeleni izihlobo ngabo ubutyebi bokungalungisi, ukuze xa nithe naphelelwa, namkelwe eminqubeni engunaphakade.”

UYesu akalincomi igosa ngokungalungisi kwalo kodwa ulincoma ngokuba ngumntu ohlaba ekhangele, owenza ngobulumko. “Abeli phakade” basoloko beyisebenzisa ngobulumko imali okanye isigxina sabo ukuze bazenzele izihlobo nabo banokubabuyekeza ngobubele. Ngoko abakhonzi bakaThixo, “abo bokukhanya” kukwafuneka basebenzise izinto zabo eziphathekayo, “ubutyebi bokungalungisi,” ngobulumko ukwenzela iingenelo zabo.

Kodwa njengoko uYesu esitsho, bamele bazenzele izihlobo ngobu butyebi kunye nabo basenokubamkela “eminqubeni engunaphakade.” Kumalungu omhlambi omncinane, le minquba isemazulwini; kwezinye izimvu, ikumhlaba owenziwe iParadisi. Ekubeni inguYehova uThixo noNyana wakhe kuphela abanokwamkela abantu kule minquba, sifanele sikukhuthalele ukusebenzisa nabuphi na “ubutyebi bokungalungisi” esinokuba nabo ukuxhasa izilangazelelo zoBukumkani yaye ngaloo ndlela sihlakulele ubuhlobo nabo. Kuya kwandula ke, xa ubutyebi bezinto eziphathekayo buphela okanye butshabalala, njengoko ngokuqinisekileyo buza kwenjenjalo, ikamva lethu elingunaphakade libe leliqinisekileyo.

UYesu uhlabela mgama esithi othembekileyo ekunyamekeleni kwaezi zinto ziphathekayo, okanye ezincinane, uya kuthembeka nasekunyamekeleni izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu. Uyaqhubeka esithi, “Ukuba ngoko anibanga nakuthembeka ebutyebini bokungalungisi, ngubani na owonithemba kobo buyinyaniso, [oko kukuthi, izilangazelelo zokomoya, okanye ezoBukumkani]? Nokuba anibanga nakuthembeka koko komnye [izilangazelelo zoBukumkani ezo uThixo aziphathise abakhonzi bakhe], ngubani na oya kuninika okukokwenu [umvuzo wobomi eminqubeni engunaphakade]?”

Ngokucacileyo asinakuba ngabakhozi bokwenyaniso bakaThixo size kwangaxeshanye sibe ngabakhonzi bobutyebi bokungalungisi, ubutyebi bezinto eziphathekayo; njengoko uYesu equkumbela esithi: “Akukho mkhonzi unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini; kuba eya kuyithiya le, athande leya; athi mhlawumbi abambelele kule, ayidele leya; aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi.” Luka 15:1, 2; 16:1-13.

◆ Igosa elisemzekelisweni kaYesu lizenzela njani ubuhlobo nabo banokuthi kamva balincede?

◆ Buyintoni “ubutyebi bokungalungisi,” yaye sinokuzenzela njani izihlobo ngabo?

◆ Ngoobani abanokusamkela “eminqubeni engunaphakade,” yaye ke yiyiphi loo minquba?
