Ukwazi uYesu

YIBA ukhe wadibana nomntu onomdla kwisifundo sakhe? Isibhakabhaka, umkhweli wehashe, umlandeli wezemidlalo, okanye ugqirha wezinto zabantu, isazinzulu, okanye umntu obuyisela izinto zakudala ohlala kwaye aphefumle umdlalo okanye umsebenzi awuthandayo? Ngelixa banokusikhuthaza, kwaye babangele umdla kuthi kwizihloko zabo, ubuKristu bohlukile. Kuba ayisiyiyo inkanuko yenye indlela yokuphila, ifilosofi, okanye inkolo efanelekileyo.

Undoqo wobuKristu ayiyongcamango kodwa uMntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, wayethetha nje abefundisi baseRoma; Zenit, ngoMeyi Nge-20, 2005

UBUKRISTU LIBALI LOLUTHANDO

Okwenza ubuKrestu buhluke kubuSilamsi, kubuHindu, kubuBuddha, nakwezinye iinkolo kukuba yeyona nto iphambili ibali lothando. UMdali uzithobile kungekuphela ukusindisa umntu, kodwa ukumthanda, nokumthanda ngokusondeleyo. UYesu waba njengathi emva koko wanikela ngobomi baKhe ngenxa yothando ngathi. Yena, enyanisweni, unxaniwe ngothando lwakho nolwam. ^[1]cf. UYohane 4: 7; 19:28

UYesu unxaniwe; ukucela kwakhe kuvela ezinzulwini zomnqweno kaThixo ngathi… uThixo unxanelwe ukuba simnxanelwe. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2560

Yinyani entle ... yezithethe, ”uluvo lokufezekisa uxanduva kunokumisela ikamva. Liliphi ikamva? Ukuba kubudlelwane obunzulu nothando kunye noBathathu Emnye oguqula zonke iinkalo zobomi bakho, iinjongo kunye nenjongo.

Ngamanye amaxesha amaKatolika aphulukene okanye awazange abe nethuba lokuva u-Kristu ngokobuqu: hayi u-Kristu njenge 'paradigm' okanye 'ixabiso', kodwa njengeNkosi ephilayo, 'indlela, nenyaniso, nobomi'. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, L'Osservatore Romano (Uhlelo lwesiNgesi lweVatican Newspaper), ngoMatshi 24, 1993, iphe. 3.

Oko kukuthi, kufuneka sibe ngumlinganiswa kwi ibali lothando lukaThixo...

UKUMWAZI NGOKWAKHE UYESU

Zibuze: Ngaba ndithetha nabanye kuphela malunga neenkolelo zobuKatolika, okanye ndithetha ngoYesu? Ngaba ndiyathetha ngoThixo-phaya, okanye ngomhlobo, umzalwana, a umthandi Ngubani olapha, Emmanuel, uThixo-unathi? Ngaba imihla yam ijikeleze uYesu kwaye ndifuna kuqala uBukumkani bakhe, okanye mna kwaye ndifuna kuqala ubukumkani bam? Iimpendulo zisenokubonisa ukuba uyamvumela na uYesu lawula entliziyweni yakho okanye mhlawumbi umgcine kubude bengalo; nokuba uyazi kuphela malunga NguYesu, okanye eneneni azi Yena.

Kuyimfuneko ukuba singene kubuhlobo bokwenene noYesu kubudlelwane bobuqu kunye naye kwaye singazi ukuba ngubani uYesu ovela kwabanye okanye ezincwadini, kodwa ukuba siphile ubudlelwane obunzulu ngakumbi noYesu, apho sinokuqala khona ukuqonda ukuba ungubani ukubuza kuthi… Ukwazi uThixo akwanele. Ukuhlangana okwenyani naye kufuneka naye umthande. Ulwazi kufuneka lube luthando. -UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukudibana nolutsha lwaseRoma, Aprili 6, 2006; IVatican.va

Kweminye yeemifanekiso ezininzi ezintle zeli bali lothando kwakhona lelo lifumaneka kwiSityhilelo apho uYesu athi:

Yabona, ndimi emnyango ndinkqonkqoza; Ukuba uthe umntu waliva izwi lam, waluvula ucango, ndongena endlwini yakhe, ndidle naye, naye adle nam. (ISityhi. 3:20)

Inyani yile yokuba uYesu uhlala eshiyekile bemi ngaphandle komnyango wamaKatolika amaninzi ebesoloko esiya eMthendelekweni ngeCawa nganye ubomi babo bonke! Kwakhona, mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuba bengazange bamenywe ukuba bavule iintliziyo zabo, okanye baxelelwe ukuba zivulwa njani iintliziyo zabo kwaye yintoni ebandakanyekileyo ekwakheni ubudlelwane neNkosi. Iqala, ngokwenene, ngokunkqonkqoza yakhe umnyango.

Umntu kufuneka aqale ngokuthandaza aze athethe neNkosi athi: “Ndivulele ucango.” Kwaye into ethethwa nguSt Augustine kwiintsapho zakhe: “Ndankqonkqoza eLizwini ukuze ndiyazi ukuba yintoni ngoku iNkosi efuna ukuyithetha kum.” -UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukudibana nolutsha lwaseRoma, Aprili 6, 2006; IVatican.va

UYesu ulindele ukuwela umda wokholo ungene entliziyweni yakho, ngeli xa ekumema ukuba uwele umda woloyiko ungene kuYe. Sukoyika into uYesu azakuyenza kwaye aza kuyenza ebomini bakho! Ndihlala ndisitsho kubantu abatsha ukuba ndiye ndashumayela iVangeli ezikolweni: “UYesu akazanga kuzothatha ubuntu bakho — Weza kuzothatha izono zakho ezitshabalalisa wena ngempela zinjalo. ”

Umntu, ngokwakhe odalwe “ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo” [ubizelwe] kulwalamano lobuqu noThixo…-IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-299

Ukuqala kwakhe ukuba nguPopu, uBenedict XVI kwintlanganiso yakhe yokuqala wathi umntu ngamnye kuthi "yingcinga kaThixo," ukuba asiyiyo "imveliso nje engenantsingiselo engenantsingiselo yendaleko" kodwa kunoko "elowo kuthi uthanda, sithandwa. ” UThixo ulinde elowo nalowo kuthi ukuba anike "ewe" kuye. Kuba u "ewe" wakhe kuthi sele ethethiwe ngoMnqamlezo.

Xa nindibiza, nize nithandaze kum, ndiya kuniphulaphula. Xa undikhangela, uya kundifumana. Ewe, xa uthe wandifuna ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ndiya kukuvumela ukuba undifumane… (Yeremiya 29: 12-13)

Kwaye kwakhona,

Sondelani kuye uThixo, wosondela kuni. (Yakobi 4: 8)

Ukusondela kuThixo, ongcwele, kuthetha ukurhoxa esonweni, nayo yonke into engengcwele. Kodwa apha kulapho abaninzi boyikayo, bekholelwa kubuxoki bokuba ubudlelwane bobuntu noYesu buza kususa “ulonwabo” lobomi.

Akukho nto intle njengokumangaliswa yiVangeli, ngokuhlangana noKristu. Akukho nto intle njengokumazi nokuthetha nabanye ngobuhlobo bethu naye. Ukuba sivumela uKristu angene ngokupheleleyo ebomini bethu, ukuba sizivulela ngokupheleleyo kuye, ngaba asoyiki ukuba angasihlutha okuthile? Ngaba mhlawumbi asoyiki ukuncama into ebalulekileyo, into eyingqayizivele, into eyenza ubomi buhle kangaka? Ngaba asizibeki emngciphekweni wokuphela sincitshisiwe kwaye sihluthwe inkululeko yethu? Hayi! Ukuba sivumela uKristu angene ebomini bethu, asilahlekelwa nto, akukho nto, akukho nto kwaphela eyenza ubomi bukhululeke, buhle kwaye bukhulu. Hayi!… Kuphela kubuhlobo kuphela amandla amakhulu obukho bomntu atyhilwe ngokwenene. Kobu buhlobo kuphela apho sinobuhle nenkululeko. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eSt.Peter's Square, Ekumiselweni kweHomily ngoAprili 24, 2005; IVatican.va

AMANGQINA OYINYANISO

Kwaye ke, bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, ngaphambi kokuba sithethe ngakumbi ngemfundiso okanye ngeendlela zobufundisi kunye nayo yonke into ebesixoxa ngayo ukusukela kwiSynod eRoma, kufuneka siqiniseke ukuba sinezinto ezibalulekileyo endaweni: ubudlelwane neNkosi. Kwaye iCatechism ifundisa:

… Umthandazo is ubudlelwane obuphilayo babantwana bakaThixo kunye noTata wabo… -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-2565

Ukubuyela kwinto ebendiyithethile ekuqaleni, kuyinto enye ukuba nolwazi kunye nokuthanda isifundo, kodwa ubuKristu bohlukile. Kukungazi malunga UYesu, kodwa Ukwazi UYesu, oza ngesakramente kunye nobomi bomthandazo kunye nobuhlobo neNkosi. Ubungqina bukaKrestu abukho kubuchule obucokisekileyo kunye neefomula, kodwa kukuvumela amandla nobomi bukaMoya ukuba buthulule kubudlelwane bakho noYesu "njengemilambo yamanzi aphilileyo." ^[2]cf. Yohane 7:38 Kuba yile nto yenzekayo xa uthandana noThando.

Akunakwenzeka ukuba singathethi ngento esiyibonileyo nesiyivileyo. (IZenzo 4: 20)

Hayi, asisayi kusindiswa ngumgaqo kodwa ngoMntu, kunye nesiqinisekiso asinika sona: Ndinawe! -INGCWELE UJOHN PAUL II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, n. I-29

Kwangathi inkolo yamaKatolika ingaze ibe luluhlu olungenazintsholongwane ezenziwayo kunye nezinto ezingamele zenziwe, isiko lokugcina endaweni yobomi obuzakuphilwa.

Izazi ngezakwalizwi ezibalaseleyo zizamile ukuchaza izimvo ezibalulekileyo ezenza ubuKrestu. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, ubuKrestu ababebakhile babungakholisi, kuba ubuKristu kwindawo yokuqala nguMnyhadala, uMntu. Kwaye ke kuMntu sifumanisa ukutyeba kokuqulathiweyo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eIbid.

UYesu unkqonkqoza kwintliziyo yakho nakweyam, ezisa ubutyebi besidlo sasezulwini.

Simngenisile okwangoku?
