UKUHLAWULWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 4
IT uthi kwiMizekeliso,
Ngaphandle kombono abantu baphulukana nokuzibamba. (IMiz. 29:18)
Kwiintsuku zokuqala zale Lenten Retreat, ke, kunyanzelekile ukuba sibe nombono wokuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumKristu, umbono weVangeli. Okanye, njengoko watshoyo umprofeti uHoseya:
Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi; (Hoseya 4: 6)
Ngaba uqaphele ukuba njani ukufa isisombululo seengxaki zehlabathi lethu? Ukuba unokukhulelwa okungafunekiyo, kutshabalalise. Ukuba uyagula, umdala kakhulu, okanye uxinezelekile, zibulale. Ukuba ukrokrela ukuba ilizwe eliselumelwaneni lisisisongelo, yenza uqhankqalazo lwangaphambi kokuba ukhuphe… ukufa kuyeyona isisombululo silinganayo. Kodwa ayisiyiyo. Bubuxoki obuvela 'kuyise wobuxoki', uSathana, lowo uYesu wathi wayenguye “Ulixoki nombulali kwasekuqaleni.” [1]cf. UYohane 8: 44-45
Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise; Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. (UYOHANE 10:10)
Ke uYesu ufuna ukuba sibe nobomi ngokuyintabalala! Kodwa sikwenza njani oko ukuba sonke sisagula, sisaluphala… sisafa? Impendulo kukuba ubomi uYesu weza ukuzisa ngu ngokomoya ubomi. Kuba yintoni esahlula kunaphakade ngu ukufa ngokomoya.
Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa, kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu. (Roma 6:23)
Obu "bomi" nguYesu. NguThixo. Kwaye kukhawulwe ngaphakathi kweentliziyo zethu ngoBhaptizo. Kodwa kufuneka ikhule, kwaye yile nto isixhalabisayo kule Lenten Retreat: ukuzisa ubomi bukaYesu ngaphakathi kwethu ekukhuleni. Nantsi indlela: ngokubulala yonke into engeyiyo kaMoya kaThixo, oko kukuthi, konke okungokwenyama ", oko kokwenyama nokuphazamiseka.
Kwaye ke, njengamaKristu, singathetha “ngokufa okuhle.” Yiyo i, ukufa kuwe Kwaye konke okuthintela ubomi bukaKristu ukuba bungakhuli ngaphakathi kuthi. Yiloo nto isono sithintela, kuba “Umvuzo wesono kukufa.”
Ngamazwi aKhe nangobomi baKhe, uYesu wasibonisa indlela esa ebomini obungunaphakade.
… Waziqongqotha, wathabatha ubume bekhoboka… wazithoba, walulamela kwada kwasekufeni, nkqu nokufa emnqamlezweni. KwabaseFilipi 2: 7-8.
Wasiyalela ukuba silandele le Ndlela:
Nabani na onqwenela ukundilandela makazincame, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele. (Mat 16: 24)
Ke ukufa is Isisombululo: kodwa hayi ukutshabalalisa ngabom umzimba womnye okanye owomnye, endaweni yoko, kukufa kukabani Ngaba. “Hayi intando yam, kodwa eyakho mayenziwe,” UYesu watsho eGetsemane.
Ngoku, konke oku kungavakala kuyothusa kwaye kudandathekisa, luhlobo lwenkolo enkwantyiweyo. Kodwa inyani yile isono yintoni eyenza ubomi butyhafise kwaye budandathekise kwaye butyhafise. Ndiyayithanda into ethethwa nguJohn Paul II,
UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. -YABUSISWA UJOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org
Ngelixa ubuBuddha buphela ngokuzikhupha, ubuKristu abupheli. Iyaqhubeka nokuzaliswa kobomi bukaThixo. UYesu wathi,
Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. Lowo uwuthandayo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; lowo uwuthiyayo umphefumlo wakhe kweli hlabathi, wowulondolozela ubomi obungunaphakade. Ukuba umntu uthi andikhonze, makandilandele; apho ndikhona mna, woba khona apho nondikhonzayo; (UYohane 12: 24-26)
Uyamva ukuba uthini? Lowo usalayo isono, ofuna kuqala uBukumkani bukaThixo kunobukumkani bakho, uya kuhlala noYesu: Apho ndikhona mna, woba khona apho nondikhonzayo; Yiyo loo nto abaNgcwele babegcwele ngokuzonwabisa kunye noxolo: babephethe uYesu owayenabo. Abazange boyike kwinto yokuba uYesu wayekho kwaye ufuna ngenkani. UbuKristu bufuna ukuzincama. Awunakho ukuvuka ngaphandle koMnqamlezo. Kodwa utshintshiselwano luphume kweli hlabathi. Oku, ngokwenene, kuko oku, ubungcwele: ukuzincama okupheleleyo ngenxa yothando ngoKristu.
… Ubungcwele bulinganiswa ngokwe 'mfihlelo enkulu' apho uMtshakazi aphendula ngesipho sothando kwisipho soMyeni. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-773
Ewe, utshintsha ubomi bakho bube bobukaKristu, njengoko wabutshintshayo ubomi baKhe wabufumana obakho. Yiyo le nto ekhethe umfanekiso-ntetho woMtshakazi noMyeni, kuba ulonwabo anenjongo yalo kukusikelelwa kukumanyana noBathathu Emnye-ukuzinikela okupheleleyo okupheleleyo nokuzeleyo komnye komnye.
UbuKrestu yindlela eya eluvuyweni, ingesosizi, kwaye kungabi kukufa… kodwa kuphela xa samkela kwaye samkela "ukufa okuhle."
ISISHWANKATHELO NESIBHALO
Kufuneka sizikhanyele inkanuko yenyama kwaye siguquke esonweni ukuze sifumane ulonwabo uThixo alunqwenelayo kuthi: Ubomi bakhe buhlala kuthi.
Kuba thina badla ubomi sihlala sinikezelwa ekufeni ngenxa kaYesu, ukuze ubomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe enyameni yethu enokufa. (2 Kor. 4: 11)
