ukusuka Umnqweno kaKristu
UKUZIPHATHA. Kuphi ebhayibhileni apho athi umKristu kufuneka afune intuthuzelo? Kuphi nakwimbali yeCawa yamaKatolika yabangcwele kunye neentsomi sibona ukuba intuthuzelo yinjongo yomphefumlo?
Ngoku, uninzi lwenu lucinga ukonwaba kwezinto. Ngokuqinisekileyo, leyo yindawo ephazamisayo yengqondo yanamhlanje. Kodwa kukho into enzulu…
INGQONDO KAKRESTU
Ambalwa amaKristu akasakwaziyo ukubandezeleka, or wenzeni ngokubandezeleka.
Ngale nto, ndithetha ukubandezeleka ngokungekho sikweni kwabanye kunye nobomi ngokwabo. Kwaye ukuba amaKrestu awalazi ixabiso kunye nentsingiselo yokubandezeleka, kuyaphela ukuba lelo dini ...
...gqibezela (oko) ukusilela kwiimbandezelo zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, oko kukuthi, iBandla. (Kol 1: 24)
Iindleko zokulahleka kwimemori yethu sonke zinokulinganiswa imiphefumlo.
"Ngokufanelekileyo,” utsho umtyholi. Ukuba unokwenza uMzimba kaKristu ulibale ukuba singabahambi ngezohambo-uhambo oluqala ngokuthabatha umnqamlezo womntu kwaye luphelele ekubethelweni kwe-ego-ke uphumelele uloyiso oluqinisekileyo. Kodwa luloyiso oluhlala luhlala ixesha elifutshane: Ntshutshiso yindlela eqhelekileyo uThixo “avusa” ngayo inkumbulo yeCawa: ukuba sikhona ukuthanda njengokuba uKristu wasithandayo.
UYesu akazange eze ukuqala iklabhu yelizwe ebizwa ngokuba yiCawa yamaKatolika. Weza kusihlutha kwingozi yokwenene nengoku yomgwebo ongunaphakade ngokulukuhla kwesono. Yena, iNtloko, wakwenza oku ngokufa kabuhlungu emnqamlezweni. Icawa ke, nguMzimba waKhe, zizandla neenyawo awathi uYesu wafikelela kuzo, ngokomthendeleko nangokubonakalayo. Ke ukuba iNtloko idlula eKalvari, ngaba uMzimba uyakusinda?
IINGQONDO ZOTHANDO
Ukuba ngamanxeba akhe siyaphiliswa (1 Pet 2: 24)-Kwaye ke singoMzimba kaKristu-ke kunjalo ngamanxeba ethu ukuba umhlaba uyakuphiliswa. Kuba uKristu uyakuphilisa ngathi.
UYesu ngokwakhe, ngabo, wathumela isibhengezo esingcwele nesingenakonakala sosindiso lwanaphakade. (UMk 16: 20, Isiphelo esifutshane; iNAB)
Kodwa amanxeba ethu… ezo ntlungu zibangelwa ngabanye kunye neenkohlakalo zobomi, ziyasebenza kuphela xa sizamkela ngothando, nangenxa yothando. KuThixo is uthando, kwaye xa senza nantoni na ngothando, nguThixo ke ngoko Utshintsho lomzimba eso senzo kungena ubabalo. Le yindlela esithatha ngayo inxaxheba kwaye sigqibe ukusilela kwi isicelo kwedini likaKristu.
Noko ke, ukuba asikuko ukuthululwa kothando kumanxeba ethu kodwa kunoko ubukrakra, umsindo, ukuzithethelela, ubuntwana, ukukhalaza, nokuzisizela, ngoko amanxeba ethu akayi kubaphilisa abanye. Baya kuyityhefa imiphefumlo, bayishiye idane ngakumbi, ilahlekile ngakumbi ekumfuneni kwabo uKristu. Ngenxa yoko uPetros uthi,
… Ekubeni uKristu weva ubunzima esenyameni, xhobani nani kwaloo moya mnye. (1 Pet 4: 1)
Musa ukukhululeka—“bethelelwa”—intliziyo elungele ukukhonza. Sonke siza kubandezeleka kobu bomi. Kodwa isimo sengqondo sobuKristu sithi “Ndizosokola ngenxa yomntakwethu. Ndiza kuthwala imithwalo yakhe. Ndoyikhumbula impazamo yakhe. Ndiya kuvumela uthando lwam lugubungele inkitha yezono.” Olo thando lutshabalalisa abalawuli namagunya!
… Ukucima ubophelelo kuthi… wasisusa phakathi kwethu, wabethelela emnqamlezweni; ukuphanga ubulawuli namagunya… (KwabaseKolose 2: 14-15)
Olu luhlobo lothando olufunwa lihlabathi… olu hlobo lomphefumlo… abangcwele ababa iimpawu zokuphikisana emhlabeni:
Ndiyakuthanda ngaphandle kokubala iindleko. Ndiza kukuvumela ukuba undityakatye ngamazwi akho, undinyathele ngekratshi lakho, undithwalise iimpazamo zakho, undibethelele ngokungakhathali, undishiye engcwabeni lobumnyama ngokunganyaniseki kwakho. Ndizakuphendula ngoncumo; Ndiza kubamba ulwimi lwam; Ndiza kubeka iimfuno zakho phambi kwezam. Ndiyakwamkela ukungabikho kobulungisa enyameni yam ngenxa yakho, kwaye ngenxa yakhe nabani na uThixo afuna ukusebenzisa ukubandezeleka kwam.
Hayi! Uthando olunjalo lunqabile kule mihla. Ilizwe libulangazelela njani ukubona obo buso, bobuso bukaKristu. Kwaye xa sifumana omnye… njengoMama Teresa, uMaximilian Kolbe, okanye uJohn Paul II, umhlaba wonke uyahlanganisana ukuzila ukudlula kwabo, nokuba kungoku, okanye kumashumi eminyaka kamva.
Kodwa masingami emgceni nabazilileyo, sizililela thina kunye nelahleko yethu. Sililela bani ngaphandle kukaKristu owayehlala kuzo? Kutheni le nto umhlaba ubonakala ngathi ayikokubonisa elinye kwelo themba sililangazelelayo? Baza kumbona phi kwakhona, ukuba akunjalo ebusweni bethu, ngamazwi ethu, ukuthula kwethu, umonde wethu, ukuzincama kwethu, ubulali bethu, nentumekelelo yethu yokuxolela?
Ngalo lonke ixesha sithanda ngale ndlela, kuyasenzakalisa. Kodwa iyaliphilisa ihlabathi.
Akukho mntu unothando olukhulu kunolu, lokuba umntu abeke ubomi bakhe phantsi kwabahlobo bakhe… (UJohn 15: 13)
Ukuba igama alikaguquki, iya kuba ligazi eliguqukayo. —UPOPU JOHN PAUL II, ovela kumbongo Igama loqhagamshelwano Stanislaw
