Njalo ngonyaka, maphakathi no-Ephreli, lonke izwe elibhapathiziwe, egqoke injabulo nenjabulo, ligubha iholidi elikhanyayo lokuvuka koMsindisi uJesu Kristu.

Ukuphuma Ekugqilazweni
Umlando wokugubha iPhasika ususelwe ezinyangeni zamakhulu eminyaka. Futhi ukuze siqonde kangcono futhi siyifunde, kuzodingeka siphendule encwadini enkulu yeBhayibheli, okungukuthi engxenyeni yayo ebizwa ngokuthi "u-Eksodusi." Kule ngxenye kulandiswa ukuthi abantu bamaJuda, ababeyizigqila zamaGibhithe, babhekana nokuhlushwa okukhulu nokucindezelwa kwababani babo. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu, bathembela emusa kaNkulunkulu futhi bakhumbula isivumelwano kanye neZwe Lesithembiso. Phakathi kwamaJuda kwakukhona umuntu oyedwa ogama lakhe linguMose, uNkulunkulu amkhethile njengomprofethi. Ngemva kokunika u-Aroni umfowabo ukuba asize uMose, iNkosi yenza izimangaliso ngabo futhi yathumela abaseGibhithe ngokubulawa kwabantu abaningi ngo-10. UFaro waseGibhithe wayekade engafuni ukukhulula izinceku zakhe ngenkululeko. Khona-ke uNkulunkulu wayala ama-Israyeli ukuba ahlabe umndeni ngamunye wundlu leduna elilodwa lonyaka ubudala futhi lingenasici. Futhi ngegazi lakhe, gcoba iziphambano zeminyango yendlu yakhe. Iwundlu lidinga ukudliwa ngobusuku ngaphandle kokuphula amathambo akhe. Ngobusuku ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yadlula eGibhithe yabulala bonke abaseGibhithe izibulo kusukela ezinkomeni kuya komuntu, futhi akazange uthinte izindlu zamaJuda. Ngokwesaba, uFaro waxosha ama-Israyeli aphume ezweni. Kodwa lapho befika emagwini oLwandle Olubomvu, waqaphela futhi waxosha izinceku zakhe. Nokho, uNkulunkulu wavula amanzi olwandle futhi wahola amaJuda ngasolwandle, njengezwe, futhi uFaro waqothuka. Ukuhlonishwa kwalesi senzakalo, kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube manje, amaJuda agubha iPhasika njengokukhululwa ekuthunjweni kwaseGibhithe.
Umhlatshelo kaKristu
Kodwa indaba yemvelaphi nokubukeka komkhosi wePhasika akupheli lapha. Ngemva kwamakhulu eminyaka emva komcimbi ochaziwe ngenhla emhlabeni wakwa-Israyeli uJesu Kristu wazalwa umsindisi wezwe ebugqilini yesihogo phezu kwemiphefumulo yabantu. Ngokusho kobufakazi beVangeli, uKristu wazalwa nguMariya uMariya futhi wayehlala endlini yombazi uJoseph. Lapho eneminyaka engu-30 ubudala, waphuma ukuyoshumayela, efundisa abantu imiyalo kaNkulunkulu. Emva kweminyaka emithathu wabethelwe esiphambanweni, eNtabeni iKalvari. Kwenzeka ngemuva kweholidi le-Easter yamaJuda ngoLwesihlanu. Futhi ngoLwesine kwakukhona isidlo sakusihlwa, lapho uKristu amisa khona isakramente soMthendeleko, ukwethula isinkwa newayini njengomzimba wakhe negazi lakhe. Njengemvana eTestamenteni Elidala, uKristu wahlatshwa ngenxa yezono zezwe, futhi amathambo akhe nawo aphulwanga.
Umlando wesidlo sePhasika kusukela ebuKristwini bokuqala kuya eNkathini Ephakathi
Ngokuvumelana nobufakazi beBhayibheli elifanayo, emva kokufa, ukuvuka nokukhuphuka kukaKristu ezulwini, umlando wokugubha iPhasika uthuthukiswe ngalendlela elandelayo: emva kwePhentekoste iPhasika laligubha uvuko ngalunye, liqoqa ukudla nokugubha uMthendeleko. Umkhosi wawuhlonishwa ngokukhethekile ngosuku lokufa nokuvuswa kukaKristu, okwaqala ukuwa ngosuku lwePhasika lamaJuda. Kodwa kakade ekhulwini lama-II, amaKristu aqala ukucabanga ukuthi kwakungalungile ukwenza iPhasika likaKristu ngosuku olufanayo njengamaJuda ayewahlakazele, futhi wanquma ukugubha iSonto elilandelayo emva kwePhasika lamaJuda. Lokhu kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba yiNkathi Ephakathi, kwaze kwaba yilapho ibandla lobuKristu lihlukaniswa laba yi-Orthodox namaKatolika.
