Ubesithi ngoko uYesu kuloo maYuda akholiweyo kuye, Ukuba nina nithe nahlala elizwini lam, noba ningabafundi bam, okunene niya kuyazi inyaniso, yaye inyaniso iya kunikhulula. Bamphendula bathi: “Thina siyinzala ka-Abraham yaye asizange sibe ngamakhoboka nanini na.” Utsho njani ke ukuthi, ‘Niya kukhululwa’?” UYesu wabaphendula wathi: “Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu owenza isono ulikhoboka lesono. Ikhoboka ke alihlali endlwini ngonaphakade; ngunyana ohlala ngonaphakade. Ukuba ngoko uNyana uthe wanikhulula, noba nikhululekile inene. (UYohane 8: 31-36)
Ngaba ukhe waqaphela ukuba ngamanye amaxesha abantu abazama ukwenza eyona nto "isimahla" ngabona babophelelekile? Apha, uYesu wayejamelene neenkokeli zamaYuda ezazikholose ngesibakala sokuba zaziyinzala ka-Abraham. Babecinga ukuba bakhululekile, kodwa babengaqondi ukuba babebotshwe kangakanani na.
UYesu uyaqhubeka ejamelana nobukhoboka babo besono. Wayengazami ukubenza bazive beneentloni okanye benetyala. Wayebafundisa inyaniso kuba wayebathanda. Inyaniso kukuba uThixo ufuna abantwana bakhe bakhululeke! Yiyo loo nto kukho inkululeko eninzi ekuzinikeleni kuKristu.
Ukanti, ngamanye amaxesha sinokufana ncam nezi nkokeli ukuba sinyanisekile. Ndiye ndazibuza lo mbuzo, “Ngenxa yenkululeko engaka efumaneka kuKristu, kutheni kukho amakholwa amaninzi asabotshwe kangaka?” kunye namakhamandela esono, ukukhotyokiswa, uloyiko, ukungazithembi, iintloni, ukoyika ukusilela, iintloni, ukuziva unetyala… olu luhlu luyaqhubeka.
Ngamanye amaxesha iindlela zokucinga esizinikwe ngabazali okanye ootatomkhulu okanye ootatomkhulu zisibamba ebukhobokeni. Izinto esizikholelwayo okanye esizithatha lula ‘njengeziqhelekileyo. Njengenenekazi elisike isiphelo se-ham, wafumanisa ukuba umakhulu wakhe wayenza loo nto kuphela ngenxa yokuba wayenepani ye-oveni encinci.
Maxa wambi ezona zinto zibonakala zingaqondanga ziyasichaphazela zize zisithintele enkululekweni kaThixo. Ndafunda inqaku elinomdla malunga nendlela uhambo lwanamhlanje oluchatshazelwa ngayo bububanzi bamahashe amabini aseRoma. Ngokusisiseko iinqwelo zokulwa zamaRoma zenza imirhubhe ezindleleni yaye ukuze ezinye iinqwelo zikwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kokwaphuka kwamavili okanye iiasi kwakufuneka zakhiwe ngendlela efanayo. Olu bubanzi bevili lwanikezelwa ekugqibeleni luchaphazela i-asi ye-tram eya kuthi ekugqibeleni ibe nefuthe kububanzi bevili likaloliwe lwanamhlanje. Ekugqibeleni iitonela zakhiwa kwiintaba zezi nqwelo-mafutha zikaloliwe zanamhlanje ezithwala iinxalenye zeziphekepheke zale mihla. Iziqwenga zeerokhethi zasesithubeni kuye kwafuneka zithintelwe ngobungakanani ukuze zingene kwezo tonela njengoko zithunyelwa ngenqanawa ukuya kwindawo yokuqalisa.
Njengakwimeko yezi nkokeli zonqulo kuYohane 8, yayikukudibana noLizwi (uYesu) okwajongana nobukhoboka bazo. Kuphela kuxa sisiva inyaniso kaThixo apho kuthi ukusikelwa kwethu umda nobukhoboka. UThixo ufuna abantwana bakhe bakhululeke!
Bawo oseZulwini, ndibonise iindawo ebomini bam apho ndinokuba ndihamba kuhlobo lobukhoboka kwaye andiyiqondi. Ndinqwenela inkululeko efumanekayo kum ngoYesu. Ndikhokelele enkululekweni yakho. NgeGama likaYesu, Amen.
