Ukwenyuka.

KwiZenzo 1:1-3, ULuka ubhala ukuba ukubonakala kovuko kwasasazwa kwithuba elithile 40 iintsuku, ebudeni belo xesha uYesu ‘wanikela ubungqina obuninzi’ lokuvuka kwakhe. Nangona kunjalo, olu chungechunge lokubonakala lupheliswe ngequbuliso ngesihlandlo esinye sokugqibela, ngokumangalisayo, ukumka.

Kuyabonakala ukuba uYesu wayebalungiselela lo mzuzu abafundi bakhe: kuba wayebanike imiyalelo ngaphezu kwesihlandlo esinye ukuba bahlale eYerusalem bade bawamkele amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele (Iphepha 24:49, Izenzo 1:4-8).

ULuka 24:50-52 ibonisa ukuba le ntlanganiso yokugqibela yaqalisa ndaweni ithile eYerusalem, apho uYesu wabarholela khona, waya eBhetani. Ingxelo eneenkcukacha ezingakumbi kwiZenzo 1:6-12 ibonisa ukuba isiphelo sazo yayiyiNtaba yemiNquma. Kwincoko yabo yokugqibela uYesu wala ukuphendula imibuzo ngekamva likaSirayeli. Kodwa waphinda wabathembisa ukuba kungekudala baya kufumana amandla kuMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuze babe ngamangqina akhe kulo lonke ihlabathi..

Emva koku, abafundi bambona ‘ephakamile’ emhlabeni wada wagutyungelwa lilifu ukuba lingabonakali. Ngelixa usajonge phezulu, amadoda amabini ‘ambethe ezimhlophe’ kwavela, owabaxelela ukuba ngenye imini uYesu uya kubuyela emhlabeni ngendlela efanayo naleyo babembone ngayo ehamba.

Abaninzi baye bazama ukuyichaza imbonakalo yovuko njengohlobo oluthile lobuxoki: kodwa olu chungechunge lwembonakalo luchasa uhlalutyo olunjalo. Alithandabuzeki elokuba abafundi babethuthuzelekile kubo: kodwa ukuba bebelahlekisile, bebeya kuba notyekelo lokucaca ngakumbi kwaye rhoqo njengoko ixesha lihamba. Endaweni yoko, bayeka ngokukhawuleza ngeli xesha. Ngapha koko, ezo nkohliso zichaphazela abantu ngabanye, kanti esi siganeko sangqinwa ngabantu abalishumi elinanye ubuncinane, kwaye ngokunokwenzeka ukuya kuthi ga 120 (c.f. Izenzo 1:12-15). Kanjalo, phantse yonke inkangeleko yayingamaqela: hayi umntu ngamnye.

Ukuze kubekho naliphi na ithuba lokukhohlisa kwenkampani kubambe, bekuya kufuneka ukuba ibe yinto ababefuna ukuyikholelwa abo babandakanyekileyo: kodwa oko akunakutshiwo ukuba uYesu wabashiya bodwa abafundi bakhe ukuze baqhubeke nomsebenzi kweso sixeko sabethelela iNkosi yabo.! Kwaye u, ULuka 24:52 isixelela ukuba ngenene babuyela eYerusalem benovuyo olukhulu. Njengokuziphatha okukhohlisayo kweqela lamadoda awoyikayo, ayinangqondo: kodwa njengokuziphatha kweqela lamadoda achithe 40 iintsuku kunye noYesu ovusiweyo ngokungenakuphikiswa, osandul’ ukuthembisa ukuba kungekudala baya kuwafumana onke amandla abawadingayo, yenza ingqondo entle kakhulu.

Kwenzeka ntoni emva koko – ungcelele olungummangaliso lweziganeko eziqala ngomhla wePentekoste – ingaphandle kobubanzi bale nxalenye yengxoxo yethu. Kodwa njengobungqina obungakumbi bobunyani bukaYesu’ uvuko kuya kufuna uviwo olunzima kakhulu kwixesha elizayo.
