WE bahlala bengonwabanga kuba sijonge ukuzaliseka kuzo zonke iindawo ezingalunganga. USt. Justin wakhangela kwifilosofi, uAugustine ethanda izinto eziphathekayo, uTeresa waseAvila kwiincwadi eziyintsomi, uFaustina ekudaniseni, uBartolo Longo kubusathana, uAdam noEva emandleni…. Uphendla phi?
Kwisifundo sokuqala sanamhlanje, uSawule nomkhonzi wakhe baya kukhangela “iiesile” zikayise ezilahlekileyo—mhlawumbi umfuziselo ofanelekileyo wazo zonke ezo zinto zincinane ngokungapheliyo esizifunayo kule mihla yethu ukuze zisinike intuthuzelo, unqabiseko nolonwabo: ukutya, ukuzonwabisa, izinto ezingenamsebenzi. ukuzonwabisa, imidlalo egqithisileyo, umabonwakude, imidlalo yevidiyo, i-intanethi….
Batyhutyha eleentaba lakwaEfrayim nasezweni laseShalisha. Bakuba bengabafumani, bahamba balityhutyha ilizwe laseShahalim, kungekho mpumelelo. Nabo balityhutyha ilizwe lakwaBhenjamin, kodwa abazange bawafumane.
Babejonge kuzo zonke iindawo ezingalunganga. Enyanisweni, uThixo wayenokungaphezulu phumeza amacebo kaSawule. Kwafuneka ‘ilizwi lesiprofeto’ ukuze amalathise kwicala elifanelekileyo emva kokuba edibene ‘nemboni,’ uSamuweli. Uthumela uSawule ‘esigangeni. Kulapho uSawule wafumana khona okungakumbi kunokuba wayecinga—uthanjiswa njengokumkani.
AmaKristu amaninzi namhlanje aya ecaweni ngeeCawe, kodwa aleqa "iiesile" kuyo yonke iveki. Ke ngoko siye singonwabi, singabi nanto, sidakumbe...
Nanini na xa ubomi bethu bangaphakathi bubanjiswa kwiminqweno yabo kunye neenkxalabo zabo, akusekho ndawo yabanye, akukho ndawo yamahlwempu. Ilizwi likaThixo alisaviwa, uvuyo oluzolileyo lothando lwakhe alusaviwa, yaye umnqweno wokwenza okulungileyo uyaphela. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-2
Yaye ihlabathi elisingqongileyo lilahlekelwa kukukhanya kwalongokuba uYesu wathi,ungu ukhanyiselo lwehlabathi.” [1]cf. Mat 5:14 Owu intliziyo engaphumli! Ndimele ndenze ntoni?
Into yokuqala kukuzivuma ukuba unjalo kuphumla; okwesibini, ziqonde “iiesile” ukuba ziyiyo ntoni—okwethutyana izinto, ixesha elidlulayo okanye iimolekyuli eziphathekayo ezingenako ukukunika uvuyo oluhlala luhleli; okwesithathu, vuma ukuba unjalo abancediyo ekoyiseni inyama yenu. Elokugqibela liphethe iindaba ezimnandi:
Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo, lifuneka kwabagulayo. Andize kubiza malungisa, ndize kubiza aboni ukuba baguquke. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Into yesine kukukhangela, njengoSawule, “kwindawo ephakamileyo.” Ngapha koko, ‘ungukumkani’ ngenxa yokuba ubhaptiziwe. Ke, nali "ilizwi lakho lesiprofetho" lokukuthumela kwicala elifanelekileyo:
Ukuba ngoko navuswa kunye noKristu, funani okwaphezulu, apho akhona uKristu, ehleli ngasekunene kukaThixo. Zicingeni izinto zaphezulu, ingabi zezisemhlabeni. Kanti ke ihlabathi nenkohliso yalo liyadlula. Kodwa nabani na intando kaThixo uhlala ngonaphakade. ( Kol 3:1-2; 1 Yoh 2:16-17 )
