Isihogo siyinyani

 

Kukho inyaniso enye embi kubuKristu
ukuba kule mihla yethu,
nangaphezu kweenkulungwane ezidlulileyo,
ivuselela uloyiko olungenakulinganiswa entliziyweni yomntu.
Loo nyaniso imalunga neentlungu ezingunaphakade zesihogo.
Ngokuthetha nje ngale mfundiso,
iingqondo ziyakhathazeka,
iintliziyo ziyaqina kwaye ziyangcangcazela,
iminqweno iyaqina kwaye ivuthe
ngokuchasene nemfundiso
kunye namazwi angamkelekanga avakalisa oko.
—Isiphelo Sehlabathi Langoku
kunye neeMfihlelo zoBomi bexesha elizayo,

TLa ngamazwi kaFr. Charles Arminjon, abhalwe ngenkulungwane ye-19. Asebenza kangakanani na kwiimvakalelo zamadoda nabafazi kwinkulungwane yama-21! Kuba akukhona nje kuphela ukuba ingxoxo ngesihogo ayithintelwanga kwimicimbi yezopolitiko, okanye ethathwa njengeyokukhohlisa abanye, kodwa nabanye abafundisi-ntsapho kunye nabefundisi baye bagqiba kwelokuba uThixo onenceba akanakuvumela ukuthuthunjiswa okunjalo ngonaphakade.

Ngelishwa kuba ayitshintshi inyani yokuba isihogo siyinyani.

 

Yintoni isihogo?

Izulu kukuzalisekiswa kwayo yonke iminqweno yokwenene yomntu, enokuthi ishwankathelwe njenge umnqweno wothando. Kodwa umbono wethu wobuntu wendlela okhangeleka ngayo, kunye nendlela uMdali alubonakalisa ngayo olo thando kubuhle beParadesi, isilela nje kwinto eyiyo izulu kanye njengembovane engakwaziyo ukufikelela phezulu nokuchukumisa umphetho wendalo iphela. .

Isihogo kukuhluthwa kwezulu, okanye mandithi, kuhluthwa kukaThixo obukho ubomi ngaye. Kukulahleka kobukho baKhe, inceba yaKhe, ubabalo lwaKhe. Yindawo apho iingelosi eziwileyo zathunyelwa khona, kwaye emva koko, apho imiphefumlo ngokufanayo iya khona engavumiyo ukuphila ngokuka umthetho wothando emhlabeni. Lukhetho lwabo. Kuba uYesu wathi,

Ukuba niyandithanda, niya kuyigcina imiyalelo yam… “Inene, ndithi kuni, Oko ningakwenzelanga namnye waba bancinci, anikwenzanga kum.” Kwaye aba baya kuya kwisohlwayo esingunaphakade, kodwa amalungisa aya ebomini obungunaphakade. (Yohane 14:15; Mateyu 25:45-46)

Isihogo, ngokutsho kwaBaseki beCawa nooGqirha, kukholelwa ukuba busembindini womhlaba, ^[1]cf. ULuka 8:31; Roma 10: 7; ISityhi 20: 3 nangona iMagisterium ingakhange ibhengeze malunga noku.

UYesu akazange ayeke ukuthetha ngesihogo, esichazwe nguSt “Idike lomlilo nesalfure.” ^[2]cf. ISityhi 20:10 Kwingxoxo yakhe ngesilingo, u Yesu walumkisa ukuba kungangcono ukusika izandla zakho kunesono - okanye ukhokelele "abancinci" esonweni-kunokuba nezandla ezibini “Ngena eGehena kumlilo ongacimiyo ... apho 'umbungu ungafiyo, kwaye nomlilo ungacimiyo.'” ^[3]cf. UMarko 9: 42-48

Imizobo evela kumakhulu eminyaka yamava ayimfihlakalo nawokufa kufutshane ngabantu abangakholwayo kunye nabangcwele ngokufanayo ababoniswa ngokufutshane esihogweni, iinkcazo zikaYesu yayingezongokubaxi okanye uhanahaniso: isihogo yile nto wayithethayo. Kukufa okungunaphakade, nazo zonke iziphumo zokungabikho kobomi.

 

Ingqiqo Yesihogo

Ngapha koko, ukuba isihogo asikho ngoko ubuKrestu bubuxoki, ukufa kukaYesu kwaba lilize, indlela yokuziphatha ilahlekelwa sisiseko sayo, kwaye ukulunga okanye ububi, ekugqibeleni, kwenza umahluko omncinci. Kuba ukuba umntu uphila ubomi bakhe ngoku ethanda ububi nokuzonwabisa kwaye omnye aphile ubomi bakhe ngokuzincama nokuzincama -kwaye bobabini baphelela kulonwabo lwanaphakade-ke yintoni injongo yokuba kubekho "ukulunga", ngaphandle kokuthintela intolongo okanye enye ingxaki? Okwangoku, kumntu wokwenyama okholelwa esihogweni, amadangatye esilingo anokumoyisa ngokulula ngomzuzu wokulangazelela okukhulu. Angoyiswa phi ngakumbi xa esazi ukuba, ekugqibeleni, uya kwabelana ngovuyo olufanayo nolo lukaFrancis, Augustine, noFaustina nokuba uyazanelisa okanye hayi?

Ithini indawo yoMsindisi, ngokungaphezulu umntu ozithobileyo emntwini kwaye weva eyona ntlungu yoyikekayo, ukuba ekugqibeleni Zonke zigcinwe phofu? Yeyiphi eyona njongo iphambili yomgaqo wokuziphatha ukuba iiNeros, uStalins noHitler bembali bayakufumana umvuzo ofanayo njengoMama Teresas, Thomas Moores, kunye nabangcwele baseFranciscans bamandulo? Ukuba umvuzo wabantu ababawayo ufana nongazicingeliyo, ngenene, ke ngoku ukuba uvuyo lweParadesi, olubi kakhulu, lulibazisekile kancinci kwisikimu saphakade?

Hayi, iZulu elinjalo alinabulungisa, utsho uPapa uBenedict:

Ubabalo alukucimi ubulungisa. Ayenzi okungalunganga kulunge. Ayisosiponji esisula yonke into, ukuze into ayenzileyo umntu emhlabeni iphele inexabiso elilinganayo. UDostoevsky, umzekelo, wayelungile ngokuqhankqalaza ngokuchasene nolu hlobo lweZulu kunye nolu hlobo lobabalo kwinoveli yakhe Abazalwana Karamazov. Abenzi bobubi, ekugqibeleni, abahlali etafileni kwisidlo sikanaphakade ecaleni kwamaxhoba abo ngaphandle kokucalulwa, ngokungathi khange kwenzeke nto. -Thetha uSalvi, n. 44, IVatican.va

Ngaphandle koqhanqalazo lwabo bacinga umhlaba ongenaziphene, ulwazi lobukho besihogo lushukumise amadoda amaninzi ukuba aguquke kunentshumayelo ezininzi ezilungileyo. Ingcinga nje ye ngonaphakade Inzonzobila yosizi kunye nokubandezeleka kwanele ukuba abanye baphike uyolo lweyure endaweni yentlungu engapheliyo. Isihogo sikhona njengotitshala wokugqibela, uphawu lokugqibela lokusindisa aboni kwinto eyoyikisayo evela kuMdali wabo. Kuba yonke imiphefumlo yomntu ingunaphakade, xa siwushiya lo moya wasemhlabeni, siqhubeka nokuphila. Kodwa kulapha apho kufuneka sikhethe ukuba siza kuhlala phi ngonaphakade.

UThixo kwasekuqaleni wabadala abantu waza wabenza baba phantsi kwenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Ukuba ukhetha, unako ukugcina imiyalelo; ukunyaniseka kukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo. Beka phambi kwakho umlilo namanzi; into osukuba uyinyula, yolula isandla sakho. Phambi kokuba wonke umntu aphile ubomi nokufa, nantoni na ayifunayo iya kunikwa yona. (Funda iSiraki 15:14-17.)

 

Iindaba Ezilungileyo Zokuguquka

Umsebenzi wokwenene weCawa kukushumayela ivangeli. Ukusindisa imiphefumlo. Ekugqibeleni, ukuyisindisa ekugwetyweni ngonaphakade.

ICawa ifumene iVangeli njengesibhengezo nomthombo wovuyo nosindiso… Izelwe kulo msebenzi wobuvangeli, iCawa iva yonke imihla amazwi esilumkiso sikaSaint Paul athi: “Yeha ke mna ukuba andizishumayeli iindaba ezilungileyo!” (1 Kor 9:16). Njengoko uPaul VI wabhala, “ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo lubabalo nobizo olufanelekileyo kwiCawa, ubuyena bayo obuphezulu. Ikhona ukuze ishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo.” -U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-78

Ukuba unqwenela ukwazi ukuba sinzulu kangakanani isono, jonga emnqamlezweni. Jonga ukopha nokuphuka komzimba kaYesu ukuze uqonde intsingiselo yeZibhalo:

Kodwa ke, nizuze ntoni na ke ngoko kwizinto enineentloni ngazo ngoku? Kuba isiphelo sazo kukufa. Kodwa ngoku ekubeni nikhululwe esonweni naza naba ngamakhoboka kaThixo, inzuzo eninayo ikhokelela ekungcwalisweni, kwaye isiphelo sazo bubomi obungunaphakade. Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa, kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu. (KwabaseRoma 6: 21-23)

UYesu wathabatha umvuzo wesono. Wawuhlawula ngokupheleleyo. Wehla waya kwabafileyo, waza waqhawula imixokelelwane eyayivala iingcango zeParadesi, wavula indlela eya ebomini obungunaphakade kubo bonke abathembele kuye, nako konke akufunayo kuthi.

Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade. (UJohn 3: 16)

Kodwa kwabo bafunda la magama ukanti bahoye ukuphela kwesahluko, abenzeli kuphela imiphefumlo, kodwa basengozini yokuba ngumqobo othintela abanye ekungeneni kubomi obungunaphakade:

Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, unobomi obungunaphakade; ke lowo ungamviyo uNyana, akayi kubona bomi; ingqumbo kaThixo ihleli phezu kwakhe. (UJohn 3: 36)

“Ingqumbo” kaThixo bubulungisa bakhe. Oko kukuthi, umvuzo wesono uhlala kwabo bangasifumaniyo isipho sasimahla uYesu abanika sona, isipho senceba yakhe esisusa izono zethu xolelo-Oko ke kuthetha ukuba siya kumlandela ngokwemithetho yemvelo neyokuziphatha esifundisa indlela yokuphila. Injongo kaBawo kukutsalela wonke umntu kubudlelane naYe. Akunakwenzeka ukuba simanyane noThixo, oluthando, ukuba siyala ukuthanda.

Kuba nisindiswe ngobabalo ngokholo, kwaye oku akuveli kuni; sisipho sikaThixo; akuveli emisebenzini, ukuze kungabikho mntu uqhayisayo. Kuba singumsebenzi wezandla zakhe, sidalelwe kuKristu Yesu imisebenzi elungileyo uThixo ayilungiselele kwangaphambili, ukuze siphile kuyo. (Kwabase-Efese 2: 8-9)

Xa kufikwa ekushumayeleni ke, umyalezo wethu uhlala ungaphelelanga ukuba siyatyeshela silumkise umoni ukuba isihogo sikhona njengokhetho esilwenzayo ngokuzingisa kwisono esinzulu kunokuba "senze imisebenzi elungileyo." Ihlabathi likaThixo. Ngumyalelo wakhe. Kwaye sonke siyakugwetywa ngenye imini malunga nokuba sikhethe ukungena kulungelelwaniso lwaKhe okanye hayi (kwaye oh, uhambe kangakanani kuwo onke amaxesha ukubuyisela ulwalathiso lobomi boMoya ngaphakathi kwethu!).

 

Intliziyo yeVangeli

Nangona kunjalo, ugxininiso lweVangeli ayisosongelo, kodwa isimemo. Njengoko watshoyo uYesu, “UThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini ukuba aligwebe ihlabathi, kodwa ukuze ihlabathi lisindiswe ngaye.” ^[4]cf. Yohane 3:17 Ikhaya lokuqala likaSt.Peter emva kwePentekoste likuchaza kakuhle oku:

Guqukani ke ngoko, nibuye, ukuze zicinywe izono zenu, ukuze kufike amaxesha okuhlaziyeka evela ebusweni beNkosi… (Izenzo 3: 19)

Isihogo sinjengeshedi emnyama enenja enomsindo emva kweminyango yaso, elungele ukutshabalalisa, ukugrogrisa, nokuqwenga nabani na ongena kuyo. Bekungayi kuba yinceba ukuvumela abanye bazulazule kuso ngenxa yokoyika “ukubakhubekisa”.

Kodwa umyalezo wethu oyintloko njengamaKristu awukho apho, kodwa ngaphaya kweminyango yegadi yeZulu apho uThixo asilindele khona. “Uya kuzisula zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo, kungabi sabakho kufa, kungabi sabakho kuzila nakukhala nantlungu kwakhona” ^[5]cf. 21: 4

Ukanti, nathi siyasilela kubungqina bethu ukuba sidlulisela kwabanye ukuba iZulu “ngoko”, ngokungathi aliqali ngoku. Kuba uYesu wathi:

Guqukani, kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele... Ndize ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ngokugqithiseleyo. (Mateyu 4:17, Yohane 10:10)

Ubomi obungunaphakade bunokuqala entliziyweni yomntu apha nangoku — kanye njengokuba ukufa okungunaphakade, nazo zonke “iziqhamo” zako, kuqala ngoku kwabo bazifica kwizithembiso ezingenanto kunye nobuhle obungenamsebenzi besono. Sinezigidi zobungqina ezivela kubantu abasebenzisa iziyobisi, abahenyuzi, ababulali, kunye nabantu abancinci abanjengam abanokuqinisekisa ukuba iNkosi iyaphila, amandla ayo ayinyani, ilizwi layo liyinyaniso. Kwaye uvuyo, uxolo, kunye nenkululeko yaKhe ilindele bonke abo babeka ukholo lwabo kuYe namhlanje, kuba…

...lixesha elamkelekileyo kakhulu; yabona, lingoku umhla wosindiso. (2 Kor. 2: 6)

Ngokwenene, into eya kwenza abanye baqiniseke ngobunyani besigidimi seVangeli kuxa 'bengcamla bebubona' uBukumkani bukaThixo kuwe.
