KuJohane 9, Sifunda ngokuphulukiswa kwendoda eyimpumputhe ngeSabatha. Indoda yazalwa iyimpumputhe futhi yayingumkhohliso, Kepha ngemuva kokuhlangana kwakhe noJesu Kristu amehlo akhe avuleka futhi izinsuku zakhe zobumnyama ziphelile. Impumputhe yaphulukiswa nguJesu futhi yakwazi ukubona futhi yafakaza ngokuphulukisa kwakhe. Nokho, Akuwona wonke umuntu okholelwa ukuthi ubeyimpumputhe futhi wabona ukubona. Ngakho-ke, babize abazali bakhe. Abazali bakhe bakuqinisekisile ukuthi wayeyindodana yabo nokuthi wazalwa eyimpumputhe, Kepha bathula ngoJesu nokwelashwa kwakhe, ukuze bakwazi ukuhlala esinagogeni. NjengamaKhristu amaningi kangaka athule ukuze ahlale esontweni. Kodwa indoda, owayekade eyimpumputhe futhi wabona amehlo akhe akazange athule ngoJesu nokuphulukiswa kwakhe. Ubufakazi bakhe babangela isiphithiphithi esiningi phakathi kwamaJuda futhi kwaphumela ukuba bakhishwe esinagogeni.
Ukuphulukiswa kwendoda eyimpumputhe
Futhi njengoba uJesu edlula, Wabona umuntu owayeyimpumputhe ekuzalweni kwakhe. Abafundi bakhe bambuza, ethi, Nqoba, Ngubani owenze isono, le ndoda, noma abazali bakhe, ukuthi wazalwa eyimpumputhe? UJesu waphendula, Lowo muntu onawo owonile, noma abazali bakhe: Kodwa ukuthi imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu kufanele ibonakaliswe kuye. Kufanele ngenze imisebenzi yaLowo oNgithumileyo, kusesemini: buyeza ubusuku, lapho kungekho muntu ongasebenza. Uma nje ngisezweni, Ngingukukhanya kwezwe. Lapho esekhulume kanjalo, Wafafaza emhlabathini, futhi wenze ubumba lwezikhala, wagcoba amehlo endoda eyimpumputhe ngodaka, Wathi kuye, Hamba ngemoto, geza echibini le-siloam, (okungukutolika, Kuthunyelwe.) Wahamba indlela yakhe, futhi wageza, futhi weza ukubona.
Ngakho-ke omakhelwane, Futhi lapho ngaphambili bekumbonile ukuthi wayeyimpumputhe, wathi, Akusikho yini lokhu owayehleli wancenga? Abanye bathi, Nguye: abanye bathi, Ufana Naye: Kepha wathi, Nginguye. Ngakho-ke bathi kuye, Avulwa kanjani amehlo akho? Waphendula wathi, Indoda ebizwa ngokuthi uJesu yenza ubumba, futhi amehlo agcotshiweyo, wathi kimi, Iya echibini laseSilowama, bese ugeza: ngahamba ngageza, futhi ngabona. Base bethi kuye, Ukuphi? Uthe, Angazi.
Baletha kubaFarisi ukuthi bangaboni bangaboni.. Futhi kwakunguSuku lweSabatha lapho uJesu enza ubumba, wavula amehlo akhe.
Ngemuva kwalokho abaFarisi baphinde bambuza ukuthi wakuthola kanjani ukubona. Wathi kubo, Wabeka ubumba emehlweni ami, futhi ngageza, Futhi uyabona. Ngakho-ke kwasho abanye babaFarisi, Lo muntu akayona uNkulunkulu, ngoba akagcini usuku lweSabatha. Abanye bathi, Umuntu oyisoni angazenza kanjani izimangaliso ezinjalo? Futhi kwaba khona ukwahlukana phakathi kwabo.
Bathi kuleli ndoda eyimpumputhe futhi, Uthini ngaye, ukuthi uvule amehlo akho? Uthe, Ungumprofethi.
Kepha amaJuda awakholwanga ngaye, ukuthi wayeyimpumputhe, futhi wabona ukubona, baze babize abazali bakhe ababemukele ukubona. Bababuza, ethi, Uyindodana yakho le, Ngubani othi wazalwa eyimpumputhe? Manje usibona kanjani manje? Ababelethi bakhe babaphendula bathi, Siyazi ukuthi le yiNdodana yethu, nokuthi wazalwa eyimpumputhe: Kepha kusho ukuthini manje, Asazi; noma ngubani ovule amehlo akhe, Asazi: Uneminyaka yobudala; Mbuze: Uyozikhulumela.
La magama akhuluma nabazali bakhe, ngoba besaba amaJuda: ngoba amaJuda ayevumile, ukuthi uma noma yimuphi umuntu evuma ukuthi wayenguKristu, kufanele akhishwe esinagogeni. Ngakho-ke kusho abazali bakhe, Uneminyaka yobudala; Mbuze.
Wabe esebizela futhi ukuthi le ndoda eyayiyimpumputhe, wathi kuye, Nikeza uNkulunkulu udumo: Siyazi ukuthi le ndoda iyisoni. Waphendula wathi, Ukuthi uyisoni noma cha, Angazi: into eyodwa engiyaziyo, lokho, kanti ngangiyimpumputhe, manje ngiyabona.
Wabe esethi kuye futhi, Yini wakwenza kuwe? Wavula kanjani amehlo akho? Wabaphendula, Ngikutshelile vele, Anizwanga: Kungani sengizoyizwa futhi? Niyakuba Nabo Abafundi Bakhe?
Base bemthuka, wathi, Ungumfundi wakhe; Kepha singuMose’ Abafundi. Siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMose: Ngokuqondene nalomuntu, Asazi ukuthi uvelaphi.
Indoda yaphendula yathi kuyo, Kungani kwalapha kuyinto enhle, ukuthi anazi ukuthi uvelaphi, nokho uvule amehlo ami. Manje siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu akayezwa izoni: Kepha uma umuntu ekhuleka uNkulunkulu, futhi wenza intando yakhe, yena uyazwa. Njengoba kwaqala umhlaba waqala ukuthi angezwakali ukuthi noma yimuphi umuntu wavula amehlo azalwe eyimpumputhe. Ukube lo muntu ubengeyena unkulunkulu, Angenzi lutho.
Baphendula bathi kuye, Wazalwa ngokuphelele esonweni, futhi usifundise? Bamkhipha (UJohane 9:1-34)
Abazali bendoda eyimpumputhe bathula ngenxa yokwesaba
Yize abazali bendoda eyimpumputhe babengoFakazi ngalesi simangali esikhulu futhi bebona ukuthi indodana yabo yaphulukiswa kanjani ngobumpumputhe bakhe nguJesu futhi yabona ukubona, Abazali bakhe abazange bakufakaze ngokuthi indodana yabo yaphiliswa kanjani futhi yini?.
Abazali baqinisekisile kuphela kubaFarisi abeyindodana yabo nokuthi wazalwa eyimpumputhe, Kepha bathula ngokuphulukiswa kwakhe noJesu.
Kungani bathula? Bathula ngoba besaba amaJuda futhi besaba ukukhishwa esinagogeni.
AmaJuda ayevumile ukuthi uma umuntu evuma ukuthi uJesu wayenguKristu uKristu, Wayezokhishwa esinagogeni.
Abazali bendoda eyimpumputhe bebazi lokhu futhi bengafuni ukukhishwa esinagogeni. Ngakho-ke bavalela imilomo yabo bathula ngeqiniso futhi babhekisa amaJuda endodaneni yabo, Njengoba esemdala ngokwanele ukuphendula imibuzo yabo.
Ngenxa yokuthi abazali benze ngokulalela intando yamaJuda futhi bathula ngoJesu nokwelashwa kwendodana yabo, Babengahlala esinagogeni.
Indoda eyimpumputhe ifakaze ngoJesu nokuphulukiswa kwakhe
Nokho, indodana yabo, owaphiliswa ubumpumputhe bakhe futhi wabona, akazange alandele isibonelo sabazali bakhe futhi akagcinanga mlomo wakhe. Akazange athule futhi akazange alungise amazwi akhe ukuze akwazi ukuhlala esinagogeni, Kepha wafakaza ngoJesu nangokwephulukisa kwakhe futhi ngenxa yobufakazi bakhe, waxoshwa esinagogeni.
Leyo kwakuyintengo, okwakhokhela umsolwa ngobufakazi bakhe bukaJesu nokuthi lokho kuseyintengo, AmaKhristu azelwe abuye abuye abuyele ngokulandela uJesu futhi abe ofakazi bakaJesu Kristu (Funda futhi: Kusho ukuthini ukubala izindleko? futhi Ukulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke!).
Mangaki amaKristu athule ukuze ahlale esontweni?
Lapho abantu behlangana noJesu Kristu futhi baphenduke futhi bazalwa kabusha kuye, Isikali siyakuwa emehlweni abo futhi baphulukiswe ebumpumputhe babo ngokomoya futhi babona. Ngoba bayabona, Bayofakaza ngeqiniso futhi babe ngofakazi bakaJesu Kristu emhlabeni.
Bazofakaza Ngeqiniso, lapho zingaxoshwa khona amasonto angalandeli, Lalela futhi wenze izwi likaNkulunkulu, Kepha bashintshile futhi balungisa iqiniso likaNkulunkulu nentando, imizwa, imizwelo, nezimpilo zabantu (Funda futhi: Abezwayo vs abenzi).
Mangaki amaKhristu aya esontweni futhi athule ngeqiniso nentando kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokwesaba (umbono we) abantu, Ukugxekwa, futhi ngenxa yokwesaba ukukhishwa esontweni?
Kunalokho bathula ngeqiniso nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi bayekethise nomhlaba futhi bamukele imisebenzi yobumnyama yokuhlala esontweni, kunokuhlala elalela iZwi futhi uvume ukuthi uJesu Kristu washumayela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe, futhi uthwale imiphumela.
Kepha kungani amaKristu efuna ukuhlala esontweni ebeka phansi iqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi aphike uJesu Kristu futhi aphikisana neZwi futhi ngenxa yalokho kushumayela kuqamba amanga?
Kungani amaKristu efuna ukuhlala esontweni eqinisa futhi amukele imisebenzi yobumnyama ngokuvumela nokwamukela isono nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu?
Kungani amaKristu efuna ukuhlala esontweni, Lapho kufanele bathule khona iqiniso kanye nokulunga kaNkulunkulu futhi baphoqeleka ukuba babe nenhlangano yesono, Ngoba isonto livumela isono? (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukuba nesandla esonweni sokholwa nabo?).
Uyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke?
Yilowo nalowo ozongivuma phambi kwabantu, nami ngiyakumvuma phambi kukaBaba osezulwini. Kodwa noma ubani ongiphika phambi kwabantu, Ngeke ngiphike ngaphambi kukaBaba wami osezulwini. Ungacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuthumela ukuthula emhlabeni: angizanga ukuletha ukuthula, kodwa inkemba. Ngoba ngize ukuphambanisa umuntu loyise, lendodakazi imelane lonina, nomalokazana amelane noninazala. Futhi izitha zomuntu kuyoba ngabendlu yakhe. Lowo othanda ubaba noma umama kunami akangifanele: nalowo othanda indodana noma indodakazi engaphezu kwami akangifanele. Nongasithathi isiphambano sakhe, futhi futhi ulandele emva kwami, angifanele. Othola impilo yakhe uyolahlekelwa yiyo: nalowo olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uyakukuthola (Mathewu 10:32-39)
Ukulandela uJesu nokuma eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu nokwenza intando yakhe kuzoba nemiphumela yempilo yakho. Ikakhulukazi ngalesi sikhathi, lapho ububi buyekwa futhi bathathwa njengokuhle futhi okuhle kuyanqatshwa futhi kubhekwa njengokubi (Funda futhi: AKUKHO OKUFANELE KUKUKHONA KAKHULU EMANDLA KANKULUNKULU? futhi Iyini imfihlo yomthetho?).
Uthando lwakho ngoJesu Kristu nobaba mkhulu kunothando lwakho lomndeni wakho, abangani, mangale, kanye nebandla futhi uzimisele ukukhokha inani lentengo yevangeli?
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
