THE Icawe kufuneka iphinde ibe sisiprofetho kwakhona. Ngale nto, andithethi "ukuxelela ikamva," kodwa ngobomi bethu bube "lilizwi" kwabanye abakhomba kwinto ethile, okanye mandithi, Umntu omkhulu. Le yeyona ngqondo inyanisekileyo yesiprofeto:

… Isiprofetho ngokwendlela yebhayibhile asithethi ukuxela kwangaphambili ikamva kodwa kukuchaza ukuthanda kukaThixo okwangoku, kwaye ke sibonisa indlela elungileyo ekufuneka siyithathile kwikamva. -Cardinal Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), Umyalezo weFatima, iNkcazo yeTheology, www.v Vatican.va

Yeyiphi indlela ebhetele yokucacisa “intando kaThixo yangoku” kunokwenza iLizwi lakhe libe ngumntu—ukuba a Philayo ilizwi, iVangeli ephilayo kwabanye? Ngale ndlela, ngokwenene sinesabelo kuthumo lukaKristu.

Abanyanisekileyo, abathi ngoBhaptizo badityaniswa kuKristu badityaniswa naBantu bakaThixo, benziwa abathathi-nxaxheba ngendlela yabo ekhethekileyo kububingeleli, kwisiprofeto, nakwiofisi yobukumkani bukaKristu. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 897

Sibambeke ngamazwi namhlanje! Kodwa ngowethu ubungqina elithwala ngenene ilizwi lesiprofeto kwabanye. Lithini ke elo gama? Ukuba ubomi bam bungaphezu nje kwezinto eziphathekayo; ukuba ndiphila ngaphezu komvuzo; ukuba iinjongo zam zingaphezulu kwengxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi; ukuba ekugqibeleni, umnqweno wam ayiloZulu kuphela, kodwa ukuba noThixo ngokwakhe.

Kodwa uyabona, sinako sonke bathi le, kodwa yenye into ukuyiphila! Yaye siphila njani? Xa sithwala iminqamlezo yethu ngokurhoxa ngoxolo; xa siphana ngesisa koko singenako ukukunika; xa siphila ngokulula; xa sixolela; xa sinenceba; xa sinyulu ngomzimba nangentetho; xa sithozamile; xa sisala ukubandakanyeka ekuhlebeni; xa sisiya eMthendelekweni ngoxa bonke abanye belele; xa sizipha ixesha labanye; xa singalalanisi enyanisweni; xa simi eluthandweni; xa sithobekile; xa sithanda abangathandiyo; xa sizisikelela iintshaba zethu size singavumi ukuthetha kakubi ngeempazamo zazo; xa sithandaza esidlangalaleni ngaphambi kokutya; xa sivuma ubukho bomnye; xa sithe cwaka sithwala ububele…. Ezi zonke iindlela ukuba sibe ilizwi lesiprofeto kwihlabathi elisingqongileyo.

Ingqina kuYesu ngumoya wesiprofetho. (ISityhi. 19:10)

Ilizwi martyr lithetha “ingqina.” ^[1]ukusuka kwisiGrike umartur Xa sisifa kwisiqu sethu kwelinye lala mathuba mancinci avela mihla le, senza indawo kaYesu kuthi. Kwaye uYesu nguye “ILizwi lenziwe inyama.”

Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu; ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum (Gal 2:19-20).

Kwisifundo sokuqala nakwiVangeli namhlanje, sibona ukuba ubungqina bukaYosefu noYesu, njengoko bufuziselwa kumzekeliso wesidiliya, buba njani na. umqondiso wesiprofeto ububele bukaThixo nobukho bakhe ebantwini. Ngokubandezeleka kwabo, baba “lilizwi” lothando lukaBawo:

Ilitye abalicekisayo abakhi, Lelona laba yintloko yembombo; yenziwe nguYehova, ilungile emehlweni ethu.

Njengoko umoya uthwala amaza esandi ukuya ezindlebeni zomnye; uthando yinto ethwala iLizwi entliziyweni yomnye. Yaye uYesu wathi akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele omnye. Umnqamlezo ngumqondiso ophakamileyo kunye nondoqo wesiprofeto sobuKristu.

Kodwa xa siqala ukuphila ngale ndlela, ubomi besiprofeto, nathi siya kuba, kwabanye, ilitye eliphilayo eliya kugatywa. Kodwa khumbula amazwi kaKristu: Banoyolo abatshutshiswa ngenxa yobulungisa...

... nangona babezama ukumbamba, babesoyika izihlwele, kuba babesithi ungumprofeti. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Yizani kuye, ilitye eliphilayo, elilahliweyo ngabantu kodwa linyulwe kwaye lixabisekile emehlweni kaThixo, kwaye, njengamatye aphilayo, zivumeleni nakhelwe kwindlu yokomoya ukuze nibe bububingeleli obungcwele ukunikela imibingelelo yokomoya eyamkelekileyo kuThixo ngoYesu. UKristu. (1 Pet 2: 4-5)
