OKUNINZI iihenjisi kuvuko lukaYesu Krestu. Njengoko uPaul Paul esitsho namhlanje:

… Ukuba uKrestu akavukanga, ukushumayela kwethu kulilize. nako, nokholo lwakho. (Ufundo lokuqala)

Konke kulilize ukuba uYesu akaphili namhlanje. Kuya kuthetha ukuba ukufa koyisile konke kwaye Nisesezonweni zenu. ”

Kodwa ke luvuko olwenza ingqiqo yeCawa yokuqala. Ndiyathetha, ukuba uKrestu ebengavukanga, kutheni abalandeli baKhe beya ekufeni kwabo kabuhlungu befuna ubuxoki, ubuxoki, ithemba elincinci? Ayifani nokuzama ukwakha umbutho onamandla-bakhethe ubomi bentlupheko kunye nenkonzo. Ukuba ikhona into, ucinga ukuba la madoda ngewayeluyekile ukholo lwabo phambi kwabatshutshisi babo besithi, “Jonga, yayiyiminyaka emithathu sihleli noYesu! Kodwa hayi, uhambile ngoku, yiyo ke leyo. ” Ekuphela kwento evakalayo kukuguquka kwabo emva kokufa kwakhe yileya Bambona evuka kwabafileyo.

Yayingengabo aba bapostile kuphela, kodwa ishumi elinesibini koopopu bokuqala babengabafeli-nkolo—bona namawaka abanye abantu, bonke bebanga ukuba baye bafela ukholo. sidibene amandla aguqula ubomi bukaYesu ngomyalezo woMnqamlezo, njengoSt. Januarius. 

... sivakalisa uKristu ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, isikhubekiso kumaYuda, ubudenge kumaGrike; ke kwabo babiziweyo, amaYuda kwanamaGrike, sivakalisa uKristu ongamandla kaThixo, nobulumko bukaThixo. ( 1 Korinte 1:23-24 )

Ndithetha ukuthi, namhlanje, siva iintetho ezininzi ezikhuthazayo kunye nokuqonda kobulumko ngendlela yokwenza ubomi bomntu kangangoko. Kodwa ngaba ubuya kubafela? Ukanti, kukho nto ithile kwiVangeli eshukumisela abantu ekubeni babe ngundoqo, ibaguqula ize ibaguqule ngokoqobo ukuze babe “sisidalwa esitsha.” Oko kungenxa yokuba “uLizwi likaThixo” nguYesu ILizwi lenziwe inyama.

Inene, ilizwi likaThixo liphilile, lisebenza, libukhali ngaphezu kwalo naliphi na ikrele elintlangothi-mbini, lingena phakathi komphefumlo nomoya, amalungu nomongo, liyakwazi ukuqonda ukubonakalisa neengcinga zentliziyo. (Heb 4:12)

IVangeli yanamhlanje isinika umbono wokuba kutheni abantu abaninzi bezinikele ngokuzithandela ekulandeleni uYesu Krestu—kuba wabubuyisela kubo ubomi babo:

Bahamba naye ke abalishumi elinababini, kwanabafazi abathile ababephiliswe koomoya abakhohlakeleyo nasebulwelweni, uMariya ekuthiwa nguMagadala, ekwakuphume kuye iidemon ezisixhenxe.

Bendiqonda ukuba iCawe ineNtliziyo, kwaye leNtliziyo ibivutha luthando. Ndaqonda ukuba luThando kuphela olwanika intshukumo kumalungu eCawe: ukuba uthando luya kucinywa, abaPostile abasayi kuphinda bayibhengeze iVangeli, abafeli-nkolo babeza kwala ukuphalaza igazi labo… —ISt. UTheresa womntwana onguYesu, Umbhalo-ngqangi B, vs. 3

Kwaye emva kweminyaka engama-2000, akukho nto itshintshileyo. Ndicinga ngobungqina behenyukazi elilala namadoda angaphezu kwewaka. Kodwa wadibana noYesu namandla akhe, waguquka, watshata. Wathi kwiholide yabo yomtshato, “yayingathi sisihlandlo sokuqala.” Ndikhe ndamamela ubungqina emva kobungqina bamadoda nabafazi ngokufanayo abahlangulwe ngendlela engaqondakaliyo kwimimoya emdaka, etywaleni, kwinikotini nakwiziyobisi, kwimikhwa yesini, ukubawa, ukunqwenela amandla… uyibiza ngegama likaYesu.

Yaye uKristu uyaqhubeka evusa abafileyo. Umhlobo wam, uStan Rutherford ongasekhoyo, wayesele efile kangangeeyure eziliqela ngenxa yengozi emanyumnyezi yomzi-mveliso. Waphawulwa waza wabekwa kwindawo yokugcina izidumbu esibhedlele, xa oko wayecinga ukuba ngunongendi omncinane, wabetha ibunzi lakhe, “emvusa”, emxelela ukuba yayilixesha lokuya emsebenzini (kamva wafumanisa ukuba nguMama Osikelelekileyo, njengokuba wayenguMpentekoste ngoko). Kuphinde kubekho nebali likamfundisi uDaniel Ekechukwu waseNigeria owayeswelekile waza waqholwa kancinane kangangeentsuku ezimbini emva kwengozi yemoto, owavuka ngequbuliso emngcwabeni wakhe. ^[1]cf. Umoya Yonke imihla Ufuna ukuva ngakumbi? Fr. UAlbert Hebert uqokelele amabali okwenene angama-400 ^[2]cf. Abangcwele abavusa abafileyo, Iincwadi ze-TAN labangcwele abavusa abafileyo. Kukho ubungqina obungenasiphelo obutyhila amandla oVuko.

Kwaye ke kukho amabali angakholelekiyo omshumayeli ongasekhoyo waseCanada uFr. Emiliano Tardif owayenenkonzo yokuphilisa enamandla. Wathi akungena kwenye idolophu, wazibuza ukuba kutheni abantu bengezi ecaweni. Elinye irhamente laphendula lathi, “Kungenxa yokuba sele ubaphilise bonke!” ^[3]ukubona UYesu Uyaphila Namhlanje! Le yayiyimimangaliso yokunyamalala komhlaza, iimfama zabona, kunye namalungu aphinda amila phambi kwamehlo azo.

Bazalwane noodade, njengokuba iNkanyamba esingena kuyo iya isiya isiya isiya isiba mnyama nangakumbi, kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba uYesu akafanga—uvukile! Kwaye isekwanguye izolo, namhlanje, nangonaphakade. ^[4]cf. Heb 13: 8

Lindela imimangaliso. Lindela imiqondiso nezimanga. Lindela Yena ukuba akusebenzise.

Zibonakalise iinceba zakho, wena msindisi wabasabelayo, besabela esandleni sakho sokunene, ngenxa yababandezeli babo. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)

Imiqondiso ke eya kulandelana nabo bakholiweyo nantsi: egameni lam baya kukhupha iidemon, bathethe iilwimi ezintsha. baya kuphatha iinyoka [ngezandla], yaye ukuba bathe basela into ebulalayo, ayisayi kubenzakalisa. Baya kubeka izandla phezu kwemilwelwe, kwaye iya kuphila. ( Marko 16:17-18 )
