Hierdie seisoen bereik sy klimaks op Goeie Vrydag, wanneer ons stil word by die kruis van Christus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vir baie voel Lydenstyd somber. Die helder lofliedere van Advent maak plek vir die ernstige toon van lydensgesange. Ons sing lied 38 vers 2: &#8220;<em>Ja, ek kos Hom die slae, die smarte en die hoon \/ Vir my hang Hy, verlate en naak, met doringkroon \/ Vir my was daardie wonde, vir my moes Hy daar staan; \/ Hy moes vir al my sonde die bitt&#8217;re kruisweg gaan<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dit is woorde wat diep sny. Lydenstyd herinner ons dat die kruis nie &#8216;n abstrakte gebeurtenis is nie. Dit was ons sonde, ons selfgerigtheid, ons hardheid van hart wat Hom daar gebring het. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lydenstyd bring ons na &#8216;n plek van eerlikheid. Gestroop van selfvoldaanheid ontdek ons weer hoe nodig ons die genade van God het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In die Evangelie volgens Markus 8:34 hoor ons Jesus se ernstige uitnodiging: &#8220;As iemand agter My aan wil kom, moet hy homself verlo\u00ebn, sy kruis opneem en My volg.&#8221; \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dissipelskap is &#8216;n pad van oorgawe. &#8216;n Pad waar ons leer om minder op onsself en meer op Christus te vertrou.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tog is Lydenstyd nie &#8216;n tyd van wanhoop nie. Dit is &#8216;n tyd van genade. By die kruis sien ons nie net die erns van sonde nie, maar die diepte van God se liefde. Die Een wat sonder sonde was, het gewillig ons plek ingeneem. Wat vir ons oordeel moes wees, het vir ons redding geword.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hierdie 40 dae is daarom &#8216;n pelgrimstog van die hart. Wanneer ons vas, bid of eenvoudiger leef, doen ons dit nie om God te be\u00efndruk nie, maar om ruimte te maak \u2013 ruimte vir sy Woord, sy Gees, sy vormende werk in ons lewe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mag Lydenstyd ons weer by die voet van die kruis bring. En mag ons daar, in ootmoed en dankbaarheid, die wonder ontdek: God se genade is groter as ons sonde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lees nog rubrieke en meningstukke <a

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/e08d7630612634c4a5ced5db09b6608f","name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Noordkaap Bulletin"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/noordkaapbulletin\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lewende-Water-Copy.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":301159,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/mening-lewer-lof-en-kritiek-met-dieselfde-oortuiging\/","url_meta":{"origin":296878,"position":0},"title":"MENING | Lewer lof \u00e9n kritiek met dieselfde oortuiging","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"8 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Soms, met 'n onverwagse positiewe belewenis, besef 'n mens: Laat ons met dieselfde oortuiging en oorgawe waarmee ons kritiseer, ook lof toeswaai wanneer dit op ons pad kom.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Menings | Opinions&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Menings | Opinions","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/menings-opinions\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Hoofartikel: Wat jou laat stop.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":301237,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/twyfelhoekie-waak-teen-persepsies-wat-die-waarheid-knou\/","url_meta":{"origin":296878,"position":1},"title":"TWYFELHOEKIE | Waak teen persepsies, wat die waarheid knou","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"4 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Wees groter as enige persepsies.
