UKUSUKA amaxesha ngamaxesha, ndifumana iileta ezivela kubafundi bebuza liphi ithemba?… nceda usinike igama lethemba! Ngelixa kuyinyani ukuba amagama ngamanye amaxesha angazisa ithemba elithile, ukuqonda komKristu ngethemba kudlulela kude kakhulu kunesiqinisekiso sesiphumo esihle. 

Kuyinyani ukuba izinto ezininzi endizibhalileyo apha zivakalisa ixilongo lezilumkiso zezinto ezikhoyo ngoku nezizayo. Le mibhalo isebenze ukuvusa imiphefumlo emininzi, ukuyibiza ibuyele kuYesu, ukuzisa, Ndiye ndafunda, iinguqulelo ezininzi ezothusayo. Kwaye okwangoku, akonelanga ukwazi ukuba yintoni ezayo; into ebalulekileyo kukuba siyazi into esele ilapha, okanye mandithi, Ngubani Sele elapha. Kule ndawo kukho umthombo wethemba lokwenene.

 

ITHEMBA NGUMNTU

Phezulu, ukubhala kwam kule veki Ukuba Ngcwele kunye nokulandela Indlela encinci Ingabonakala ngathi ayinikeli themba lincinci malunga nokuwa ngokukhululekileyo kwehlabathi kubumnyama kunye nesiphithiphithi. Kodwa, enyanisweni, Indlela encinci yintloko yomthombo we oyinyaniso ithemba. Njani?

Yintoni echasene nethemba? Omnye unokuthi ukuphelelwa lithemba. Kodwa entliziyweni yokuphelelwa lithemba yinto enzulu ngakumbi: Ukoyika. Umntu uphelelwe lithemba kuba uphelelwe lithemba; Uloyiko lwekamva, ngoko, luqhuba ngokusuka entliziyweni ukukhanya kwethemba.

Kodwa uSt. John utyhila umthombo wethemba lokwenyani:

UThixo uluthando, kwaye lowo uhleli eluthandweni uhleli kuye uThixo, noThixo uhleli kuye… Akukho loyiko eluthandweni, lusuka uthando olugqibeleleyo lulukhuphela ngaphandle uloyiko… Siyamthanda, ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala. (1 Yohane 4: 16-19)

Uloyiko lususwa luthando, kwaye uThixo uluthando. Okukhona umntu ehamba The Indlela encinci, kokukhona umntu engena ebomini bukaThixo, kwaye nobomi bukaThixo bungena kuye. Uloyiko luqhutywa luthando lukaThixo kanye njengokuba ikhandlela ligxotha ubumnyama ngaphandle kwegumbi. Ndithini apha? Ithemba lobuKristu, ukholo, uvuyo, uxolo… ezi ziza kuphela kwabo balandela ngqo emanyathelweni kaYesu. Ewe! Xa sihamba sobudlelane kunye nokuvisisana nentando kaThixo, emva koko sinokukhanya kukaThixo okususa ukungabi nathemba.

UNdikhoyo kukukhanya kwam nosindiso lwam; ndiya koyika bani? (INdumiso 27: 1)

Xa siqala ukuphila njengabantwana bakaThixo, siqala ukufumana iintsikelelo zosapho. Xa siqala ukuphilela uBukumkani bukaThixo, emva koko siba ngabamkeli kwingxowa-mali kaKumkani:

Banoyolo abangamahlwempu ngomoya; ngokuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo… Banoyolo abanobulali; ngokuba umhlaba baya kuwudla ilifa bona. Banoyolo abalambela banxanelwe ubulungisa; ngokuba baya kuhluthiswa bona. Banoyolo abanenceba; ngokuba baya kwenzelwa inceba bona. Banoyolo abahlambulukileyo iintliziyo, kuba baya kumbona uThixo…. (Mat 5: 3-8)

Eli themba lizalwa ngaphakathi kwethu njengoko siqala ukuhamba ngexesha kunye nesingqisho seebhithi zentliziyo eNgcwele, ukubetha okubini Inceba kwaye ubabalo.

 

ITHEMBA NGENCEBA

Ngelixa amagama enokuthi asebenze njengentlantsi, afana nomqondiso okhomba ethembeni kunelakho ithemba. Ithemba lokwenene linalo liza ngokwazi uThixo, ukusuka ukuvumela ukuba akuthande. Njengoko uSt. John wabhala, "Siyamthanda kuba yena wasithanda kuqala." Okanye umntu angathi, "Andisenaloyiko kuba uyandithanda." Ewe, uSt. John wabhala:

Akukho loyiko eluthandweni, kodwa uthando olugqibeleleyo lulukhuphela ngaphandle uloyiko kuba uloyiko lunento yokwenza nesohlwayo, ke ngoko lowo woyikayo akakapheleli eluthandweni. (1 Yohane 4:18)

Xa siyeka ukuhamba Indlela encinci, eyindlela yothando, emva koko siqala ukuhamba ebumnyameni besono. Kwaye kwasekuqaleni kwethu bazali, siyayazi ukuba yintoni impendulo yomntu esonweni: “fihla” —fihla ngeentloni, zifihle ngoloyiko, zifihle ekuphelelweni lithemba… ^[1]IGenesis 3: 8, 10 Kodwa xa umntu esazi inceba kaThixo nothando lwaKhe olungenammiselo, ngoko nokuba ubani angona, umphefumlo ofana nomntwana unokujika kwangoko uye kuYise, uxhomekeke ngokupheleleyo emnqamlezweni osixolelanise naye.

Wasithwala isohlwayo esisiphilisa… Ngamanxeba akhe niphilisiwe. (Isaya 53: 5; 1 Pet 2:24)

Ke, umphefumlo onjalo "ungagqibelela eluthandweni" ngengqondo yokuba, nangona eneziphoso nokungafezeki, loo mphefumlo ufunde ukuzijula ​​nenceba kaThixo. Kanye njengokuba ilanga ligxotha ubumnyama ebusweni bomhlaba, lishiya izithunzi kuphela apho kukho izinto ezisendleleni, ngokunjalo, inceba kaThixo ikhupha ubumnyama boloyiko entliziyweni yomoni ethembekileyo, nokuba kusekho izithunzi ezilahliweyo. ubuthathaka bethu.

Isono esingalunganga asihluthi umoni ubabalo olungcwalisayo, ubuhlobo kunye noThixo, uthando kunye nolonwabo olungunaphakade. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1863

Uyabona, uThixo akaphazanyiswa lusizi lwethu, kodwa kunoko, ngabo babambelela kuwo:

Sukuzixakekisa ngenkxwaleko-usabuthathaka kakhulu ukuba ungathetha ngayo-kodwa, endaweni yoko, jonga kwiNtliziyo yam ezaliswe kukulunga, kwaye ube ndizaliswe ziimvakalelo zam… Akufanelekanga ukuba utyhafe, kodwa zama ukuba uthando lwam lilawule endaweni yokuzithanda kwakho. Yiba nokuzithemba, mntwana wam. Sukutyhafa xa ndicela uxolo, kuba ndihlala ndikulungele ukukuxolela. Rhoqo xa uyicela, uyayizukisa inceba yam. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamKwidayari, n. 1486, 1488

Apha, uYesu usixelela ukuba singazifihli, kodwa masiphume ezithunzini sizonwabele ngenceba yakhe. Umphefumlo onjalo, nangona esondele esonweni nasokungaphumeleli, ngekhe oyike-, enyanisweni, uya kuba ngumphefumlo ozaliswe lithemba elingakholekiyo.

Yiza, ke, ngokuzithemba uzobabalo kulo mthombo. Andizange ndilahle intliziyo etyumkileyo. Intlupheko yakho inyamalale kubunzulu benceba yam. Musa ukubambana nam ngobubi bakho. Uya kundivuyisa ukuba ubeka kum zonke iinkxwaleko neentlungu zakho. Ndiya kufumba phezu kwakho ubuncwane bobabalo lwaM. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1485

 

ITHEMBA NGOBABALO

Intliziyo yomntu itsala igazi ngokubetha kube kanye, kwaye ikhuphe kwelinye. Ngelixa Intliziyo kaYesu kanye isitsalela esonweni ("sihlatyiwe"), kumlo olandelayo, uphuphuma ngamanzi kunye negazi Inceba kwaye ubabalo. Eli "lilifa" alinikayo kwabo bathembele kuyeZonke iintsikelelo zokomoya emazulwini. " ^[2]I-Eph 1: 3

Ubabalo lwenceba yam lutsalwe ngesitya esinye kuphela, kwaye oko kukuthemba. Okukhona umphefumlo uthembele, kokukhona uya kufumana. Imiphefumlo ethembele ngokungenamda indithuthuzela kakhulu, kuba ndithululela kubo bonke ubuncwane bobabalo lwam. Ndiyavuya kuba becela okuninzi, kuba ngumnqweno wam ukunika kakhulu, kakhulu. Kwelinye icala, ndibuhlungu xa imiphefumlo icela into encinci, xa icutha iintliziyo zabo.  —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1578

Ezi zibabalo ziyinyani abanamava kulowo uhamba ngokholo. Yiyo loo nto kunzima ukuba umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo afumane "ubungqina" bukaThixo abufunayo: kuba uBukumkani bukaThixo bunikwa abo "bangamahlwempu emoyeni", abanjengomntwana. UPopu Benedict uchaze oku kwincwadi yakhe yokubhala Thetha uSalvi, ukusebenzisa igama likaSt. Paul kumaHebhere 11: 1:

Ukholo yinto (i-hypostasisngezinto ezithenjiweyo; ubungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo.

Igama elithi "hypostatis", utshilo uBenedict, kufuneka liguqulelwe ukusuka kwisiGrike ukuya kwisiLatini ngeli gama ubukhulu okanye "into." Oko kukuthi, olu kholo phakathi kwethu luza kutolikwa njengenyaniso eyiyo- "njengesixhobo" ngaphakathi kwethu:

… Sele kukho izinto esinethemba lazo: bonke, ubomi benene. Kwaye ngokuchanekileyo kuba le nto ngokwayo sele ikho Okwangoku, obu bukho bezinto ezizayo budala ubunyani: le "nto" ekufuneka ize ayikabonakali kwilizwe langaphandle (ayi "bonakalisi"), kodwa ngenxa yokuba, njengenyaniso yokuqala kunye namandla , siyiphatha ngaphakathi kwethu, imbono ethile sele ikho ngoku. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi (ugcinwe ethembeni), n. I-7

Yile ndlela kanye esiba yiyo kunye nam imiqondiso yethemba emhlabeni. Akunjalo kuba sinokucaphula izibhalo ngezithembiso zikaThixo okanye sivelise ingxoxo eqinisekisayo yobomi basemva kobomi. Endaweni yokuba kungenxa yokuba thina baye Uhlala ngaphakathi kwethu ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. Sele sinayo intlawulo ephantsi yophakade.

Ubeke itywina lakhe kuthi, wasinika uMoya wakhe ezintliziyweni zethu njengesiqinisekiso…, esisiqinisekiso sokuqala selifa lethu… Ithemba alisidanisi, kuba uthando lukaThixo luthululelwe ezintliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. sinikwe yona. (2 Kor 1:22; Efe 1:14; Roma 5: 5)

 

ITHEMBA LOKWENYANISO

Ewe, zihlobo ezithandekayo, kukho izinto ezizayo ehlabathini, kwaye kungekudala, eziza kutshintsha bonke ubomi bethu. ^[3]cf. Ke ngubani ixesha? Abo boyikayo (okanye abaya koyika) ngabo 'bangenalo uthando ngokugqibeleleyo.' Kungenxa yokuba basazama ukubambelela kweli hlabathi, kunokuba elilandelayo; abakulahlanga ngokupheleleyo kuThixo, kodwa bafuna ukugcina ulawulo; bafuna kuqala ubukumkani babo kunokufuna uBukumkani bukaThixo.

Kodwa konke oku kungatshintsha ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Kwaye kuza ngokuhamba Indlela encinci, umzuzu nomzuzu. Inxalenye yokuhamba oko Indlela, kwakhona, iba ngumntu othandazayo.

Umthandazo bubomi bentliziyo entsha…. Umthandazo uhambela kubabalo esilufunayo… -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2697, 2010

Umthandazo utsala incindi yoMoya oyiNgcwele ngoMdiliya, onguKristu, ezintliziyweni zethu. Ndiyiqale kangaphi imini yam ngelifu lobumnyama nokudinwa emphefumlweni wam… emva koko umoya onamandla woMoya ungene entliziyweni yam ngomthandazo, uvuthuza amafu andizalise ngemitha eqaqambileyo yothando lukaThixo! Ndifuna ukukhala kwihlabathi: yenza! Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza! Uya kudibana noYesu ngokwakho; uya kuthandana naye kuba uyakuthanda kuqala; Uya kulususa uloyiko lwakho; Uya kubukhuphela ngaphandle ubumnyama bakho. Uya kukugcwalisa nge ithemba.

Ukuthandaza ayikokuphuma ngaphandle kwembali kwaye urhoxe kwikona yethu yabucala yolonwabo. Xa sithandaza ngokufanelekileyo senza inkqubo yokuhlanjululwa kwangaphakathi okusivulela kuThixo kwaye ngaloo ndlela nakwabanye abantu ngokunjalo ... Ngale ndlela sihlanjululwa ngayo esivulekileyo kuThixo kwaye silungele ukusebenzela abanye abantu. abantu. Siba nakho ukubanalo ithemba elikhulu, kwaye ke ngoko siba ngabalungiseleli banethemba labanye. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi (ugcinwe ethembeni), n. I-33, 34
