Jabulela iphasika

IPhasika liwusuku lokukhumbula ukuvuswa kukaJesu Kristu ngemva kokubethelwa esiphambanweni. Ligujwa ngeSonto lokuqala ngemva kukaMashi 21 noma inyanga egcwele ngokwekhalenda likaGregory. Liwumkhosi wendabuko emazweni angamaKristu aseNtshonalanga.

IPhasika umkhosi obaluleke kakhulu ebuKristwini. NgokweBhayibheli, uJesu, indodana kaNkulunkulu, wazalelwa emkhombeni. Lapho eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu, wakhetha abafundi abayishumi nambili ukuba baqale ukushumayela. Iminyaka emithathu nengxenye, welapha izifo, washumayela, waxosha izipoki, wasiza bonke abantu abaswele, futhi watshela abantu iqiniso lombuso wezulu. Kwaze kwaba yilapho kufika isikhathi esihlelwe nguNkulunkulu, uJesu Kristu wakhashelwa ngumfundi wakhe uJuda, waboshwa futhi waphenywa imibuzo, wabethelwa esiphambanweni ngamasosha amaRoma, futhi wabikezela ukuthi uzovuka ezinsukwini ezintathu. Impela, ngosuku lwesithathu, uJesu wavuka futhi. Ngokusho kwencazelo yeBhayibheli, “UJesu Kristu uyindodana yokuzalwa. Ekuphileni kwangemva kokufa, ufuna ukuhlenga izono zomhlaba futhi abe yimbuzi yezwe”. Yingakho iPhasika libaluleke kangaka kumaKristu.

AmaKristu akholelwa ukuthi: “Nakuba uJesu abethelwa esiphambanweni njengesiboshwa, akafanga ngoba enecala, kodwa ukuze enze ukubuyisana komhlaba ngokwecebo likaNkulunkulu. Manje usevukile kwabafileyo, okusho ukuthi uphumelele ekwenzeni ukubuyisana ngenxa yethu. Noma ubani okholwa kuye futhi avume isono sakhe kuye angathethelelwa nguNkulunkulu. Futhi uvuko lukaJesu lumelela ukuthi unqobe ukufa. Ngakho-ke, noma ubani okholwa kuye unokuphila okuphakade futhi angaba noJesu kuze kube phakade. Ngoba uJesu usaphila, ukuze ezwe imithandazo yethu kuye, uzonakekela impilo yethu yansuku zonke, asinike amandla futhi enze usuku ngalunye lugcwale ithemba.”
