Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

“Yizwani omunye umfanekiso: Kwakunomninindlu othile, owatshala isivini, futhi wasibiyela ngothango, futhi wemba khona isikhamo, wase akha isiqongo sokulinda, wabe esesiqashisa kubalimi, wase eya ezweni elikude: Futhi lapho isikhathi sezithelo sesisondela, wathuma izinceku zakhe kubalimi, ukuba zithathe izithelo zaso. Futhi abalimi bazibamba izinceku zakhe, futhi bashaya enye, kanti enye bayibulala, futhienye bayikhanda ngamatshe. Waphinda, wathumela ezinye izinceku eziningi kunezokuqala: futhi benza okufanayo nakuzo. Kodwa ekugcineni wathumela indodana yakhe, ethi, Bayakuyihlonipha indodana yami. Kodwa lapho abalimi bebona indodana, bakhuluma bodwa bethi, Lo uyindlalifa; wozani siyibulale, futhi sidle ifa layo. Base beyibamba, futhi bayiphonsa ngaphandle kwesivini, futhi bayibulala” (UMathewu 21:33-39).

“Khona-ke abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi base behlanganisa umkhandlu, base bethi, Sizokwenza njani na? ngoba lo muntu wenza izimangaliso eziningi. Uma simyeka njalo, abantu bazokholwa nguye bonke: futhi amaRoma azofika asamuke indawo nesizwe” (UJohane 11:47-48).

“Khona-ke kusukela ngalolo suku baceba ukuba bambulale” (UJohane 11:53).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Kwaze kwamangalisa! Kungani ukuba sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu njalo kuchithwa futhi kwethukwe abantu? Kungani abantu bangake babe noma yikuphi ukuqonda ukuba sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu? Ingabe kuwukuthi uNkulunkulu uze ngesikhathi esingafanele? Ingabe kuwukuthi uNkulunkulu uze endaweni engafanele? Ingabe kuwukuthi lokhu kwenzeka ngenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu uzenzele eyedwa, ngaphandle “kokusayina” komuntu? Ingabe kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wenze lokho akucabangayo ngaphandle kwemvume yomuntu? … Abantu babedla okwakuvela emlonyeni Wakhe, babephuza igazi Lakhe, babejabulela izibusiso abanika zona, kodwa futhi bamelana Naye, ngoba babengazi ukuthi ukuphila babekunikwe ubani kwabo. Ekugcineni, bambethela esiphambanweni, kodwa noma kunjalo akenzanga msindo. Ngisho nanamuhla, usathule. Abantu badla inyama Yakhe, baphuza igazi Lakhe, badla ukudla abenzela khona, futhi bahamba indlela abavulele yona, nokho basafuna ukumphika; empeleni babheka uNkulunkulu obadalile njengesitha sabo, esikhundleni salakho baphatha labo abayizigqila kanye nabo njengoYise osezulwini. Kulokhu, ingabe abamelani Naye ngamabomu? Kwenzeka kanjani ukuba uJesu afele esiphambanweni? Ingabe uyazi? Ingabe akakhashelwanga uJuda, owayesondelene Naye, wamphuzisa, wajabula Naye? Ingabe isizathu sokukhaphela kukaJuda sasingekhona ukuthi uJesu wayengekho ngaphezu komfundisi ojwayelekile? Uma abantu babona ngempela ukuthi uJesu wayengajwayelekile, owayehle ezulwini, babengambethela kanjani esiphambanweni ephila amahora angamashumi amabili nane, kwaze kwaba yilapho engasakwazi ukuphefumula? Ubani ongazi uNkulunkulu? Abantu bajabulela uNkulunkulu benomhobholo, kodwa abakaze bamazi. Banikwe isandla bathatha ingalo yonke, benza “uJesu” alalele imithetho yabo. Ubani owake wabonisa iNdodana yomuntu umusa, engenayo indawo yokufihla ikhanda Layo? Ubani owake wacabanga ukuhlangana Nayo ukuze aqedele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uYise? Ubani owake wacabanga Ngayo? Ubani owake wacabanga ngobunzima Bayo? Engenalo noluncane uthando, umuntu uyisa ngapha nangapha; umuntu akazi ukuthi ukukhanya nokuphila kwakhe kuvelaphi, akwenzayo nje ukusungula icebo ngesinyelela lokuphinde abethele “uJesu” esiphambanweni njengaseminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili edlule, ozwe ubuhlungu phakathi kwabantu. Ingabe ngempela “uJesu” ukhuthaza inzondo enjalo? Ingabe konke akwenza kade kwakhohlwa? Inzondo yaseminyakeni eyizinkulungwane edlule iyogcina iqubukile. Niwuhlobo lwamaJuda! Wake wanizonda nini uJesu, njengoba nimzonda kangaka? Unenzele okuningi, wakhuluma okuningi—akukho yini okunizuzisayo? Unikele ngokuphila Kwakhe kini ngaphandle kokufuna ukubuyiselwa ngokuthile, uninike uqobo Lwakhe—ingabe nisafuna ukumbona ephila? … “AmaJuda” awasabonwa nangokhalo, futhi namuhla asenza umsebenzi ofanayo, asenza umsebenzi ofanayo wokumelana noNkulunkulu, kodwa bacabanga ukuthi baphakamisa uNkulunkulu. Amehlo omuntu angambona kanjani uNkulunkulu? Umuntu ophila enyameni, uNkulunkulu osamuntu ovela eMoyeni angamphatha kanjani njengoNkulunkulu? Ubani phakathi kwabantu ongamazi? Likuphi iqiniso phakathi kwabantu? Kukuphi ukulunga kweqiniso? Ubani ongaqonda isimo sikaNkulunkulu? Ubani ongancintisana noNkulunkulu osezulwini? Yingakho lapho eza phakathi komuntu, engekho oke wamazi uNkulunkulu, futhi bemenqabile. Umuntu angakubekezelela kanjani ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu? Angakuvumela kanjani ukukhanya kumuse ebumnyameni bezwe? Ingabe konke lokhu akukhona ukuzinikela ngenhlonipho komuntu? Ingabe lona akuwona umnyango oqondile womuntu?

Niyafisa ukwazi umsuka wokuthi kungani abaFarisi babephikisana noJesu? Niyafisa ukwazi ubunjalo babaFarisi? Babegcwele imicabango ngoMesiya. Okungaphezulu, ukuthi babekholwa ukuthi uMesiya uyofika, kodwa abafunanga iqiniso lokuphila. Ngakho, nanamuhla, basalindele uMesiya, ngokuba abanalwazi ngendlela yokuphila, futhi abazi ukuthi iyiphi indlela yeqiniso. Kungenzeka kanjani, kusho nina, ukuthi abantu abayiziwula, abanenkani futhi abangazi njengalaba bazuze isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu? Babengambheka kanjani uMesiya? Baphikisana noJesu ngoba babengayazi indlela yomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, ngoba babengayazi indlela yeqiniso eyakhulunywa uJesu, okunye futhi, ingoba babengamqondi uMesiya. Futhi njengoba babengakaze bambone uMesiya, futhi bengakaze bahlalisane noMesiya, benza iphutha lokubambelela ngokuyize egameni likaMesiya, kulapho bephikisana nengqikithi kaMesiya ngazo zonke izindlela. Laba baFarisi ngobunjalo babo babenenkani, bezikhukhumeza, futhi bengalilaleli iqiniso. Umgomo wenkolo yabo kuNkulunkulu uthi: Noma intshumayelo Yakho inomqondo kangakanani, noma ngabe igunya Lakho liphezulu kangakanani, awusiye uKristu, ngaphandle uma ubizwa ngoMesiya. Ayive le mibono ingezwakali futhi ingenangqondo na? Ngiyabuza futhi: Akulula kakhulu na kinina ukuthi nenze amaphutha abaFarisi basekuqaleni, njengoba ningenakho nokuncane ukuqonda ngoJesu? Niyakwazi yini ukubona indlela yeqiniso? Ningaqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke nimelane noKristu? Niyakwazi yini ukulandela umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele? Uma ungazi noma uyomphikisa yini uKristu, ngithi vele usuphila engcupheni yokufa. Labo ababengamazi uMesiya babekwazi ukuphikisana noJesu, noma bamdikile uJesu, noma bamhlebe. Bonke abantu abangamqondi uJesu bangakwazi ukumphika, futhi bamthuke. Ikakhulukazi, bangakwazi ukubona ukubuya kukaJesu njengenkohliso kaSathane, futhi abantu abaningi bazomehlulela uJesu obuyele enyameni. Akukusabisi yini konke lokhu? Lokhu oyobhekana nakho ukuhlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele, ukona amazwi kaMoya oNgcwele emabandleni, nokulahla konke okwabonakaliswa uJesu. Ungazuzani kuJesu uma udideke kangaka?

Amadimoni nemimoya emibi bekulokhu kudlebelekile emhlabeni futhi kuvimbe intando kanye nomzamo kaNkulunkulu onokucophelela, kukwenza kungangeneki. Yisono esibulalayo leso! Angahlala kanjani angakhathazeki uNkulunkulu? Angahlala kanjani angathukutheli uNkulunkulu? Awuphazamisa kakhulu futhi amelene kakhulu nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ahlubuka ngokwedlulele! Ngisho nalawo madimoni amakhulu namancane aziqhenya kakhulu ngenxa yodeveli abanamandla bese eqala ukuzigqamisa. Aliphikisa ngamabomu iqiniso, naphezu kokulibona ngokucacile. Amadodana okuhlubuka! Kusengathi, manje njengoba inkosi yawo yesihogo yehlele esihlalweni sobukhosi, aba nokuzithwala bese edelela bonke abanye. Mangaki afuna iqiniso nalandela ukulunga? Onke ayizilwane njengezingulube nezinja, ahola iqembu lamabhungane anukayo ebulongweni ukuze anikine amakhanda awo bese esusa uthuthuva.^[1] Akholwa ukuthi inkosi yawo yesihogo inkulu kunawo wonke amakhosi, engaboni ukuthi awazidluli ngalutho izimpukane ezibhuza ekudleni okubolile. Akukhona nje lokho kuphela, akunyundela ngonya ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu ngokuthembela kubazali bawo abayizingulube nezinja. Njengezimpukane ezincane, acabanga ukuthi abazali bawo bakhulu njengemikhoma enamazinyo.^[2] Acishe angazi ukuthi, lapho kwawona emancane, abazali bawo bayizingulube nezinja ezingcolile ezinkulu ngokuphindwe ngezigidi ezingamakhulu kunawo. Engakuboni ukuba phansi kwawo, ayadlebeleka ngephunga elibolile lalezo zingulube nezinja futhi anombono onokuzikhohlisa wokuzala izizukulwane ezizayo. Lokho ukungabi namahloni kakhulu! Ngezimpiko eziluhlaza emhlane (lapha kubhekise kokushiwo yiwo ukuthi akholwa kuNkulunkulu), aqala ukuziqhenya futhi ahambe eqhosha ngobuhle bawo, efaka ngesinyelela ukungcola kwawo kumuntu. Futhi aba nokuzithwala, kube sengathi amaphiko amabili anemibala yothingo lwenkosazane angakufihla ukungcola kwawo, futhi ngalezi zindlela, acindezela ulwazi mayelana nokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso (lapha kubhekiswe kulokho okwenzeka ekusithekeni emhlabeni wenkolo). Kuncane umuntu akwaziyo ngokuthi, nakuba amaphiko empukane emahle futhi eheha, empeleni ayehluke ngalutho empukaneni encane egcwele ukungcola futhi embozwe amagciwane. Emandleni abazali babo abayizingulube nezinja, adlebeleka kulo lonke izwe (lokhu kubhekise ezikhulwini zenkolo ezishushisa uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokwesekwa kakhulu yizwe elikhaphela uNkulunkulu weqiniso neqiniso) ngolaka olukhulu. Kuba sengathi izipoki zabaFarisi abangamaJuda zibuyele kanye noNkulunkulu ezweni likadrako omkhulu obomvu, esidlekeni sazo esidala. Aphinde aqala esinye isiwombe sokushushisa, ephinde eqhuba umsebenzi wawo wezinkulungwane eziningi zeminyaka eyedlule. Leli qembu lezonakali nakanjani lizogcina libhubhile emhlabeni! Kubonakala sengathi, ngemva kwezinkulungwane eziningi zeminyaka, imimoya engcolile ikhohlisa futhi inobuqili kakhudlwana. Ihlale icabanga ngezindlela zokudicilela phansi ngokuyimfihlo umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Inobuqili nokuphamba futhi ifisa ukuphinda inhlekelele yeminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziningi ezweni layo. Lokhu kucishe kwenze ukuba uNkulunkulu amemeze kakhulu, futhi ukuthola kunzima ukuthi azithibe ekubuyeleni ezulwini lesithathu ukuze ababhubhise.
