Isikhumbuzo Esichaphazela Ubomi Bakho

XA UYESU KRISTU wayesemhlabeni, wasungula umsitho ozukisa uThixo. Lo yayikuphela komsitho wonqulo awayalela abafundi bakhe ngokungqalileyo ukuba bawugcine. YayisiSidlo seNkosi Sangokuhlwa, esikwaziwa ngokuba siSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela.

Masithi ulapho kodwa akubonwa xa kusenzeka iziganeko ezikhokelela kweso sihlandlo. UYesu kunye nabapostile bakhe bahlanganisene kwigumbi eliphezulu eYerusalem ukuza kubhiyozela iPasika yamaYuda. Bagqibile ukutya isidlo sePasika esiqhelekileyo, esiquka inyama yemvu eyosiweyo, imifuno ekrakra, isonka esingenagwele newayini ebomvu. Umpostile onganyanisekanga uYudas Skariyoti sele emkile yaye kungekudala uza kungcatsha iNkosi yakhe. (Mateyu 26:17-25; Yohane 13:21, 26-30) UYesu ukunye nabapostile bakhe abathembekileyo abali-11 kuphela. UMateyu ngomnye wabo.

Ngokutsho kwengxelo kaMateyu owayelingqina lokuzibonela, le yindlela uYesu awasisungula ngayo iSidlo seNkosi Sangokuhlwa: “UYesu wathabatha isonka [esingenagwele] waza, emva kokucela intsikelelo, wasiqhekeza, wanika abafundi, wathi: ‘Thabathani, nidle. Oku kuthetha umzimba wam.’ Wathabatha nendebe [yewayini] waza, akuba ebulele, wayinika bona, esithi: ‘Selani kuyo, nonke; kuba oku kuthetha “igazi lam lomnqophiso,” eliza kuphalala ngenxa yabaninzi ukuze kuxolelwe izono.’”—Mateyu 26:26-28.

Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu asungule iSidlo SeNkosi Sangokuhlwa? Xa wayesenza esi sidlo, kwakutheni ukuze asebenzise isonka esingenagwele newayini ebomvu? Ngaba bonke abalandeli bakaKristu babeza kuthabatha kule mifuziselo? Esi sidlo sasiza kwenziwa ngokufuthi kangakanani? Yaye ngaba ngokwenene sinentsingiselo kuwe?
