Amacandelo amaninzi oluntu adidekile malunga nokulungileyo nokungalunganga, kwaye bakwinceba yabo banamandla "okudala" uluvo nokunyanzelisa abanye. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, ICherry Creek State Park Homily, EDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993
AS Ndabhala kwi Amaxilongo Esilumkiso! - Icandelo V, kuza isaqhwithi esikhulu, kwaye sesifikile. Isaqhwithi esikhulu kudideka. Njengoko watshoyo uYesu,
… Ilixa liyeza, lifikile ngokwenene, xa niya kuchithachithwa. (UJohn 16: 31)
Sele kukho ukwahlukana okunje, isiphithiphithi esinje kwizikhundla zeCawa, ngamanye amaxesha kunzima ukufumana abefundisi ababini abavumayo kwinto enye! Kwaye iigusha… UYesu Kristu unenceba… Iigusha azifundiswanga, zilambele inyaniso, kangangokuba xa kuvela into efana nokutya kokomoya, ziyikhuphe. Kodwa amaxesha amaninzi, igcwele ityhefu, okanye ayinanto kwaphela eyimfihlakalo, ishiya imiphefumlo ingondlekanga ngokomoya, ukuba ayifanga.
U-Kristu uyasilumkisa ke ngoku “ukujonga nokuthandaza” ukuze singalahlekiswa; kodwa akasishiyi ukuba sizikhangelele la manzi akhohlisayo sisodwa. Unikile, unika, kwaye uya kusinika a indlu yokukhanya kwesi saqhwithi.
Kwaye igama lakhe ngu "Peter".
INDLELA YOKUKHANYA
UYESU wathi,
Ndingumalusi olungileyo, kwaye ndiyazazi ezam kwaye nezam ziyandazi. Iigusha ziyamlandela, kuba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe…. ” (Yoh 10:14, 4)
UYesu nguMalusi Olungileyo, kwaye ilizwe lisoloko limfuna, ngelizwi lakhe elikhokelayo. Kodwa abaninzi bayala ukuyamkela, yiyo loo nto: kuba uthetha ngoPetrosOko kukuthi, uPapa-kwaye abo bhishophu benxibelelana naye. Siyintoni isiseko sebango eliphikisayo?
Ngaphambi kokuba anyukele ezulwini, uYesu wamthabathela ecaleni uPetros emva kwesidlo sakusasa kwaye wabuza kathathu ukuba uyamthanda na. Qho xa uPetros ephendula ngo-ewe, uYesu wayephendula athi,
… Uze wondle amatakane am…. yondla iigusha zam… yondla iigusha zam. (Yoh 21: 15-18)
Ngaphambilana, uYesu wayethethile He yayinguMalusi oMkhulu. Okwangoku, iNkosi icela omnye ukuba aqhubeke nomsebenzi waKhe, umsebenzi wokondla umhlambi engekho emzimbeni. Usondla njani uPetros? Kufanekiselwe kwisidlo sakusasa ababesandula ukwabelana ngaso abaPostile noYesu: isonka nentlanzi.
UKUTYA KOKOMOYA
The isonka luphawu lweeSakramente apho uYesu ahambisa khona uthando, ubabalo, kunye nesiqu sethu kuthi ngezandla zikaPeter kunye nababhishophu (nababingeleli) abamiselwe ngokulandelelana kwabaPostile.
The Intlanzi luphawu lwe ukufundisa. UYesu wabiza uPetros nabaPostile ngokuthi "ngabalobi babantu". Baphosa iminatha yabo besebenzisa magamaOko kukuthi, “Iindaba Ezilungileyo,” iVangeli (Mt 28: 19-20; Roma 10: 14-15). UYesu wathi, “Okwam ukutya kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kondithumileyo” (Jo 4:34). Ke ngoko, uPetros uthetha nathi iinyaniso ezidluliselwe kuye ngoKristu ukuze sazi intando kaThixo. Kuba yile ndlela kanye ezimvu ezihlala ngayo kuye:
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, ndahlala eluthandweni lwakhe. Nizizihlobo zam nina, ukuba nithi nikwenze konke endinimisela khona mna. Ndiniwisela lo mthetho wokuba nithandane… (Yohane 15:10, 14, 17)
Singayazi njani into esiyalelwe ukuba siyenze, elungileyo kwaye iyinyani, ngaphandle kokuba omnye umntu usixelele? Kwaye ke, ngaphandle kokwenza iSakramente, uxanduva lukaBawo oyiNgcwele kukufundisa ngokholo kunye nokuziphatha okucaciswe nguKrestu ngokucacileyo ukuba uPetros kunye nabalandeli bakhe mabenze.
ULAWULO OLUKHULU
Ngaphambi kokuba anyukele ezulwini, uYesu wayenomsebenzi wokugqibela: ukuyilungisa indlu.
Linikwe mna lonke igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni.
Oko kukuthi, "ndiphethe" endlwini (okanye Kwiparishi evela kwi-classical Greek iparaoikos elithetha "indlu ekufuphi"). Ke, uqala ukwabela-hayi izihlwele-kodwa abaPostile abalishumi elinanye abaseleyo:
Hambani ngoko niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga, nibabhaptizela egameni loYise, loNyana, loMoya oyiNgcwele; ukufundisa bagcine konke endikuwisele umthetho ngako. Kwaye yabona, ndinawe yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwephakade eli. (UMateyu 28: 19-20)
Kodwa masingakulibali ukwabela uYesu awakwenzayo ngaphambili kubulungiseleli bakhe:
Ke ngoko ndithi kuwe, nina NguPetros, nangaphezulu lo Iliwa lam ndiya kulakha ibandla lam, namasango elabafileyo akayi kuloyisa. Ndiza kunika nina Izitshixo zobukumkani bamazulu. Noba yintoni nina bopha emhlabeni uya kubotshwa ezulwini; kwaye nantoni na nina Emhlabeni kuya kukhululwa ezulwini. (UMateyu 16: 18-19)
Iigusha zifuna umalusi, okanye ziya kulahleka. Yindalo yomntu kunye neempawu zabantu ukuba banqwenele inkokeli, nokuba ungumongameli, ukapteni, inqununu, umqeqeshi- okanye upopu- igama lesiLatini elithetha "utata". Ngaba akucaci, njengoko sivavanya uJudas, ukuba xa ingqondo izilawula iyakhohliseka ngokulula? Ukanti, sazi njani ukuba abalobi nje abangabantu abasayi kusilahlekisa?
Kungenxa yokuba uYesu watsho.
YINTONI INYANISO?
Uhleli kwigumbi eliphezulu (kwakhona nge okhethiweyo Abapostile), uYesu wabathembisa:
Xa athe wafika uMoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso. (UJohn 16: 13)
Yiyo le nto kamva, uSt. Paul, ethetha kwisandi esikufutshane sikaKristu ngaphambi kokunyuka kwakhe, uthi:
… Ukuba ndingalibaziseka, kufuneka niyazi indlela yokuziphatha endlwini kaThixo, eyiBandla likaThixo ophilileyo, intsika nesiseko senyaniso. (I-1 U-Timothy 3: 15)
Inyaniso iphuma eCaweni, ayisiyiBhayibhile kuphela. Ngokwenene, yayingabalandeli bakaPeter nabanye abaPostile abathi malunga neminyaka engamakhulu amane emva kukaKristu, badibanisa iqela leeleta kunye neencwadi ezathi zabizwa ngokuba yi “Holy Bible.” Kukuqonda kwabo, okukhokelwa kukukhanya koMoya oyiNgcwele, okuqonda ukuba yeyiphi imibhalo ephefumlelwe ngokwasemoyeni, kwaye ingekho. Ungatsho ukuba iBandla leli isitshixo ukuvula iBhayibhile. UPopu nguye uphethe isitshixo.
Oku kubalulekile ukuqondwa kwezi ntsuku, nakwiintsuku ezizayo zokudideka! Kuba kukho abo batolikayo iZibhalo apho ezinengcinga zabo:
Kukho izinto ezithile [kwimibhalo kaPawulos] ekunzima ukuziqonda, abathi abangenakwazi nabangazinzanga bazigqwethele kwintshabalalo yabo, njengoko besenza kwezinye iZibhalo. Nina ngoko, zintanda, nizazi nje ngenxa engaphambili ezo zinto, zigcineni okwenu, ukuze ningathi, nikhukuliswe lulahlekiso lwabangenammiselo, (2 Petros 3: 16-17)
Esazi kakuhle ukuba kuzakubakhona abanye ooJudase abaza kuzama ukudala umsantsa, uYesu wayalela uPetros ukuba akhusele abanye abaPostile… noobhishophu bexesha elizayo:
Wakuba ubuyile umva, kufuneka womeleze abazalwana bakho. (Luka 22: 32)
Oko kukuthi, yiba indlu yokukhanya.
… Icawe [] inenjongo yokuqhubeka nokuphakamisa ilizwi layo ikhusela uluntu, nokuba imigaqo-nkqubo yamazwe kunye noluntu oluninzi luhamba kwelinye icala. Inyaniso, eneneni, itsala amandla kuyo kwaye ayisiyiyo kwimali evumayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican, Matshi 20, 2006; I-LifeSiteNews.com
UNGAKHOHLISWA!
Kanye njengokuba uYesu “ilitye lembombo” lalingumqobo osisikhubekiso kumaYuda, naye uPetros “iliwa” usisikhubekiso kwingqondo yale mihla. Njengokuba ama Yuda aloo mini ayengayamkeli into yokuba uMesiya wabo angaba ngumchweli nje makashiye uThixo “esenyameni”, ngokunjalo ke nelizwe linengxaki yokukholelwa ukuba singakhokelwa sisiphoso ngumlobi waseKapernahum.
Okanye eBavaria, eJamani. Okanye iWadowice, Poland…
Kodwa nantsi inkalo yamandla kaPeter: emva kokuba uYesu emyalele kathathu ukuba ondle iigusha zakhe, u Yesu wathi, “Ndilandele.” Kuphela kukulandela uKristu ngentliziyo epheleleyo apho oopopu, ngakumbi kula maxesha anamhlanje, baye bakwazi ukusondla kakuhle. Banika oko banikwe kona.
Upopu akanguye owongamileyo ngokupheleleyo, oneengcinga neminqweno ingumthetho. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, ulungiselelo lukapopu lusisiqinisekiso sokuthobela uKristu nelizwi lakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Homily kaMeyi 8, 2005; I-San Diego Union-Tribune
Kubuthathaka ukuba uKristu abe namandla. Ngaphandle koopopu abanesono kule minyaka ingama-2000 idlulileyo, akukho namnye kubo owakha wasilela ekuthumeleni inyaniso - “inkolelo” awayeyiphathisiwe nguYesu. Lowo ngummangaliso opheleleyo ilizwe eliwulibeleyo, uninzi lwamaProtestanti aluqondi, kwaye uninzi lwamaKatolika alufundiswanga.
Ngokuzithemba eNkosini, jonga ke, emva kwendlu kaPetros lowo uKristu akhoyo kuthi; Mamela ilizwi leNkosi elithetha ngokugquma kwesiqhwithi ngommandla Walo, usikhokele ngokukhanya kwenyaniso edlula kumatye anobuqhophololo kunye neembadada ezingaphambi kwamagagasi exesha elibi. Kuba nangoku, amaza amakhulu sele eqalile ukulibetha “iliwa”….
Wonke umntu owamamelayo la mazwi am, awenze, ndomfanekisa nendoda eyingqondi, yona yayakhelayo elulwalweni indlu yayo. Imvula ina, izikhukula zeza, kwavuthuza imimoya, zabetha indlu. Kodwa ayizange iwe; yayimiswe ngokuqinileyo elulwalweni.
Kwaye wonke umntu owamamelayo la mazwi am kodwa angawenzi uya kuba njengesidenge esakha indlu yaso phezu kwentlabathi. Imvula ina, izikhukula zeza, kwavuthuza imimoya, zabetha indlu. Kwaye yawa kwaye yonakala ngokupheleleyo. (UMateyu 7; 24-27)
