UBUHLUNGU BAKHE OBUKHULU NOKUHLANGANYELA KWETHU
“Khona uJesu wafika nabo endaweni ethiwa iGetsemane, wathi kubafundi, Hlalani lapha, nilinde kanye nami.”
NgokukaMathewu 26:36, 38
Asisoze sakwazi ukujula size sifinyelele ekugcineni kobuhlungu obukhulu baseGetsemane, kodwa okungenani akudingeki sibuqonde kabi. Ubuhlungu bukaNkulunkulu noMuntu bemunye, bebhekene nesono. Asazi lutho ngeGetsemane ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu siqu. IGetsemane neKhalvari kumelela into eyingqayizivele; kuyisango lokungena kwethu ekuPhileni.
Kwakungekhona ukufa esiphambanweni uJesu ayekwesaba eGetsemane; washo ngokugcizelela okukhulu ukuthi weza ngenhloso yokufa. EGetsemane wayesaba ukuthi angase angaphumeleli njengeNdodana yoMuntu. Wayeyophumelela njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu — uSathane wayengenakumthinta lapho; kodwa ukuhlasela kukaSathane kwakuhlose ukuba aphumelele njengoMuntu ohlukene nabanye kuphela; lokho kwakuyosho ukuthi wayengeke abe nguMsindisi. Funda ukulandisa kwalobu buhlungu ngokukhanya kwesilingo: "Khona udeveli wamshiya okwesikhashana." EGetsemane uSathane wabuya waphinde wanqotshwa. Ukuhlasela kukaSathane kokugcina eNkosini yethu njengeNdodana yoMuntu kuseGetsemane.
Ubuhlungu obukhulu baseGetsemane bungubuhlungu beNdodana kaNkulunkulu ekugcwaliseni isiphetho saKhe njengoMsindisi womhlaba. Iveyili liyadonswa lisuswe ukuze liveze konke okwadingeka akukhokhe ukuze sikwazi ukuba ngamadodana kaNkulunkulu. Ubuhlungu baKhe buyisisekelo sokuba lula kwensindiso yethu. IsiPhambano sikaKristu siwukunqoba kweNdodana yoMuntu. Kwakungelona nje uphawu lokuthi iNkosi yethu yayinqobile, kodwa lokuthi yayinqobile ukuze isindise uhlanga lwesintu. Wonke umuntu usengangena ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yalokho iNdodana yoMuntu eyadlula kukho.
