ST. UPAWULOS wakha wathi “ukuba uKristu akavuswanga, akushunyayelwanga nokushumayela; nako konke, ukholo lwenu. ” ^[1]cf. 1 Kor 15:14 Kwakhona kunokuthiwa, ukuba akukho nto injengesono okanye isihogo, kwanokushumayela kwethu kulilize; kulambatha kwakhona, ukholo lwakho; UKristu wafela ilize, kwaye inkolo yethu ayinaxabiso.

Ufundisiso lwanamhlanje lusixelela ngokufika okulindelweyo kokungena ezihlangwini zikaDavide, ukumkani owayeya kumisa ubukumkani obungunaphakade. Yayinguye lowo ngesithembiso kuye uAbraham, Uyise weentlanga ezininzi, iya kuzaliseka. Wazalwa nguMariya, umfazi kuYosefu womnombo kaDavide. Kwaye igama lakhe nguUYesu—NgesiHebhere kuYoshuwa, oko kukuthi, "uYehova uyasindisa." Yiyo loo nto uYesu weza ngenjongo enye:

… Ngokuba eya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Ewe, masinyamezele. Masibe nenceba. Masibe nobubele, sithantamise kwaye sinovelwano. Kodwa masingaze silibale iintliziyo zomsebenzi kaYesu Krestu, esabelana ngawo ngenxa yokubhaptizwa kwethu: ukukhokelela abanye elusindisweni ngoxolelo lwezono zabo.

Kodwa baya kubiza njani na kulowo bangakholwanga kuye? Bangathini na ke ukukholwa kulowo bangevanga ngaye? Bangeva njani kungekho mntu ushumayelayo? Bashumayela njani na abantu, bengathunywanga? Njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Hayi, ukuba zintle kwazo iinyawo zabashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zoxolo. (KwabaseRoma 10: 14-15)

Iindaba ezimnandi zezi: UYesu uze kusindisa abantu baKhe ezonweni zabo. Azikho iindaba ezimnandi ngaphandle koMsindisi. Akukho Msindisi ngaphandle kokuba kukho into anokuhlangulwa kuyo. Kwaye oko sisindiswe kuko sisono sethu.

Kodwa kuphela xa siguquka.

… Ngenene injongo yaKhe yayingekokuqinisekisa nje umhlaba ngobunjalo behlabathi nokuba liqabane layo, ishiya ingatshintshanga kwaphela. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eFreiburg im Breisgau, eJamani, NgoSeptemba 25, 2011; www.chiesa.com

Kwaye ke, asinakho ukurhoxa kwimfanelo yethu njengamaKristu yokwabelana ngeendaba ezimnandi zokuba ayisiyiyo kuphela ubomi obungunaphakade emva kokufa, kodwa nokuba asisahlulwa kobo Bomi, kwaye yintoni esele iqhubeka isahlula kobo Bomi, isono sethu.

Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa, kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu. (Roma 6:23)

Akukho nto ithi ubuKrestu ngaphandle kokuvuma izono, inkolo ngaphandle kwenguquko, Usindiso ngaphandle kosizi, uBukumkani obungenako ukuzithoba, Izulu ngaphandle kokuthobeka. Isigculelo sanamhlanje, iScandal eliKhulu lamaxesha ethu, yiCawe kwiindawo ezininzi engasasiqondiyo isizathu sokuba iNkosi noMsindisi wabo ibafele, kungoko ke kufuneka benze ngokwabo ukuze babe ngumqondiso wethemba lehlabathi.

Ukuguquka asikokuvuma nje ukuba ndonile; Kukufulathela okungalunganga kwaye ndiqale iVangeli. Kule nto kuxhomekeke kwikamva lobuKristu emhlabeni namhlanje. Umhlaba awuyikholelwa into efundiswa nguKrestu kuba asiyiyo inyama. -UMkhonzi kaThixo Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Ukuzanga kukaKristu

Mhlawumbi ilizwe liza kuqala ukukholwa kwakhona xa siqala ukuphila ngezinto esizishumayelayo, sishumayela esikukholelwayo, kwaye sikholelwe injongo awathi uYesu weza ngayo: ukubandezeleka nokufa ukuze asuse izono zethu….

Kungenxa yale nto ndize kule yure. (UYohane 12:27)

Masingaze sibe neentloni ukuyivakalisa le nyaniso: imfuneko yokuguquka esonweni, kuba ngokwenza njalo, sihlutha abanye uvuyo lweVangeli, olukwazi uthando oluphilisayo namandla oMnqamlezo kaKristu osisindisayo ubutyala, ingcinezelo, nokufa ngonaphakade.

Uvuyo lweendaba ezilungileyo luzalisa iintliziyo nobomi babo bonke abaqubisana noYesu. Abo bamkela isipho sakhe sosindiso bayakhululwa kwisono, usizi, ukungazi nto ngaphakathi kunye nesizungu… Ngoku lixesha lokuba kuthi kuYesu: “Nkosi, ndizivumele ndakhohliswa; Ngeendlela eziliwaka ndiyekile uthando lwakho, kodwa ndilapha kwakhona, ukuze ndihlaziye umnqophiso wam nawe. Ndiyakudinga. Ndisindise kwakhona, Nkosi, ndiphinde ndise ekufakeni kwakho. ” -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-1, 3
