Abafazi Enchwabeni

Ekuseni ngentsasa yomhla wokuqala weveki, ngaphambhi kokuba kukhanye, abafazi abangcwele beza enchwabeni, bephethe ubulawu obunuka kamnandi ukuba bawuqhole umzimbha kaYesu. Balifumana ilitye elikhulu liqengqiwe lasuswa emnyango wenchwaba, nomzimbha kaYesu ungekho. Iintliziyo zabo zawa ngaphakathi kwabo, boyikela ukuba iintshaba zakhe ziwususile umzimbha wakhe. Ngequbuliso babona izithunywa zezulu ezibini zinxibe iingubo ezimhlophe, ubuso bazo bukhanya bubengezela. Ezizidalwa zasezulwini zaziyazi into abazele yona abafazi, zaza zabaxelela kwa oko ukuba uYesu akakho apha; uvukile, kodwa bangayibona indawo abelele kuyo. Zabayalela ukuba bahambhe baye kuxelela abafundi ukuba uya kubandulela ukuya e- Galili. Ngoloyiko novuyo olukhulu abafazi bakhauleza babuyela kubafundi abaselusizini babaxelela ezi zinto abazibonileyo nabazivileyo.IL 212.2

Abafundi abakholwanga ukuba uKristu uvukile, kodwa, kunye nabafazi aabo babezise udaba olo, baya ngokukhauleza enchwabeni. Bafumanisa ukuba uYesu akakho apho; bazibona iiqhiya zakhe ze-linen, kodwa abakholwa zindaba ezilungileyo zokuba uvukile kwabafileyo. Babuyela ekhaya, bekhwankqisiwe kooko bakubonileyo, nayingxelo abayiziselwe ngabafazi.IL 213.1

Kodwa uMariya wanyula ukusala apho ngasenchwabeni, ecinga ngoko wayekubonile ekhathazwa nayingcamango yokuba hleze kube kanti ukhohlisiwe. Waziva kungathi ulindelwe zizilingo ezitsha. Intlungu yakhe yavuseleleka, walila ngokukrakra. Wathoba kwakhona ukuba akhangele enchwabeni, wabona izithunywa zezulu ezibini zinxibe ezimhlophe. Esinye sasihleli apho intloko kaYesu yayilele khona, esinye apho iinyawo zakhe zazilele khona. Zathetha naye ngobubele zambuza ukuba ulilela ni na. Waphendula wathi, “Bayisusile iNkosi yam; andazi apho bayibeke khona.” Johane 20: 13.IL 213.2
