UJudas noPeter (iinkcukacha ezivela ku 'Isidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela'), nguLeonardo da Vinci (1494-1498)
THE Abapostile bayothuka xa bexelelwa loo nto omnye wazo Ndingayingcatsha iNkosi. Ewe kunjalo engacingi. Ke uPetros, ngomzuzwana womsindo, mhlawumbi nokuzenza ilungisa, uqalisa ukubarhanela abantakwabo. Ukuswela ukuthobeka ukubona entliziyweni yakhe, uzimisele ukufumana isiphoso somnye-ade afumane uJohn ukuba amenzele umsebenzi omdaka:
USimon Petros wanqwala kuye ukuze aqonde ukuba uthetha bani na [uYesu]. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Ebona ngoku ukuba nguYudas oza kumngcatsha, uPetros, ekhukhumele likratshi, uvakalisa ngenkalipho ukuba uya kumlandela uYesu naphi na apho aya khona. Kodwa iNkosi ibona ngokuguquguquka kwendalo yaYo ewileyo kwaye iphendule:
Ngaba ungancama ubomi bakho ngenxa yam? Inene, amen, ndithi kuwe, Ayisayi kulila inkuku ungekandikhanyeli kathathu.
Hayi indlela esikhawuleza ngayo ukuhlolisisa imixholo yeendaba size sinikine iintloko zethu kubahedeni! Sikhawuleza kangakanani ukubeka amehlo entiyo kwabo singabahedeni esisebenza nabo kunye nabo sifunda nabo. Hayi indlela esikhawuleza ngayo ukubona ukuba ngubani na oze kwiMisa nongazange eze, othandaza njengam, ocula njengam, obetha oobhontsi berosari, oguqayo, oguqayo, omnikelo wabo uliphepha nomnikelo wabo “uyaguqa.” Ah! Hayi indlela esikhawuleza ngayo ukugxeka abefundisi bethu, ukugxeka oobhishophu bethu, kwanokumkhalimela uPopu! Singabanyuliweyo! Thina singamasalela! Thina singabangcwalisiweyo! Sigcina umthetho! Singama Katolika okwenyaniso! Asinakuze simngcatshe!
Kwaye uYesu wajika waza kuthi,
Ngeli lixa kanye, uya kuphazamiseka kwaye ubulibale ubukho bam. Ngale mini uya kunyula ukuzithandela wena ngaphezu kwam, ukuba uzikhonze ngaphezu kommelwane wakho, ubhekise amehlo akho kwizigodo zakho, ngokukodwa isithixo sakho...
Bazalwane noodade, umhlaba awunako ukukuphepha ukukhanya kwelanga njengokuba singenako ukukubaleka ukukhanya kwenyaniso ngala mazwi. Ukuba sinyanisekile, kufuneka sikuvume oko yonke imihla senza "esingenakucingelwa." Kuba ukuthanda iNkosi uThixo wakho kuyo yonke intliziyo yakho, umphefumlo, namandla ngumyalelo wokuqala—kwaye ngubani na kuthi owugcinayo iyure yonke nomzuzu ngamnye wemini? Ukuba besinokubona ubuso beengelosi zethu, zikhwankqisiwe kukudikidiki kwethu, besiya kuqonda ukuba into engaphantsi kothando olupheleleyo lukaThixo wethu ophilayo ayinakucingelwa.
Gcina la mazwi entliziyweni yakho xa ulingeka ukuba ugwebe ummelwane wakho. Nangona kunjalo, ungaze uvumele le nyaniso ikukhokelele ekuphelelweni lithemba kukaYudas, kodwa inguquko kaPetros. Usuku uPetros awaba ngumntu ngalo lwalungeyiyo iPentekoste, kodwa ngentsasa yangoLwesihlanu oLungileyo—kungemva nje kokulila kwenkuku. Yayilusuku awathi wathandeka ngalo ngakumbi, wathobeka ngakumbi, wacaca ngakumbi, eneneni, wakulungela ngakumbi ukuba ngumalusi womhlambi kaKristu awabizelwa kuwo. Kuba ngephanyazo, “iliwa” lalulama kwaye lithobekile ngentliziyo… iinyembezi zikaPetros zazisusa nakuphi na ukwaneliseka okwakusele.
Imini esiya kuqalisa ngayo ukuba namava oxolo lwangaphakathi olutsha kuxa singaze siwunike lizwi laloo moya wokugwetywa; xa siyeka ukubamba unobumba womthetho njenge-bludgeon phezu kwabo bonke abanye (kodwa njengentsiba phezu kwethu). Isitshixo sokuqalisa ukuthanda abanye ngentliziyo kaKristu kukungahoyi iziphoso zabo kwaye ujonge kwezakho kuphela. Xa uthe wakubona ubuthathaka nezono zomnye umntu, jika kwangoko uthi: “Aa! Yesu, nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba.
Kwaye Lowo uluthando ngokwakhe uya kuphosa ujongo olufanayo kuwe lwenceba ewele phezu koPetros, esithi...
Mntwana wam, asikokugqibelela kodwa kukuthamba okukwenza uthandeke kum; hayi ubungcwele, kodwa intobeko. Xa uthe wathobeka, ngoko ndingaqalisa ukugqibelelisa; xa uthobekile, ndiya kuba ngcwele ngokwenene. Mntwana weNtliziyo yam, ungaze woyike ukuzibona unjalo-njengoko ndikubonayo-kuba nale nyani iyakuqala ukukukhulula. Jonga indlela endikuthanda ngayo! Ndazolula izandla zam, ndafa negama lakho emlonyeni wam, naxa wawungandazi, wawubhaptizwe esonweni.
Ke ngoko, bathandeni abanye, njengoko ndanithandayo nina.
Thixo, undifundisile kwasebuncinaneni bam, Kude kube ngoku ndiyixela imisebenzi yakho ebalulekileyo.
Enkosi ngokuxhasa le nkonzo yexesha elizeleyo.
