NABANINZI abantu bachaza ulonwabo lobuqu njengokungabolekisi ngemali, ukuba nemali eninzi, ixesha leholide, ukubalelwa nokubekwa, okanye ukufezekisa iinjongo ezinkulu. Kodwa bangaphi kuthi abacinga ngolonwabo njenge kuphumla?

Isidingo sokuphumla sibhalwe kuyo yonke indalo phantse kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi. Iintyatyambo ziyagoba ngokuhlwa; izinambuzane zibuyela kwindlwane zazo; iintaka zifumana isebe kwaye zisonge amaphiko azo. Nkqu nezilwanyana ezisebenzayo ebusuku ziyaphumla emini. Ubusika lixesha lokufukama kwizidalwa ezininzi kunye nokuphumla komhlaba kunye nemithi. Nokuba ilanga lijikeleza ngamaxesha okuphumla xa amabala elanga angasebenzi. Ukuphumla kufumaneka kwindalo yonke njenge umzekeliso esalatha kwinto enkulu ngakumbi. ^[1]cf. Roma 1: 20

"Ukuphumla" okuthembiswa nguYesu kwiVangeli yanamhlanje kwahlukile kunokulala okanye ukulala. Yinyani eseleyo uxolo lwangaphakathi. Ngoku, uninzi lwabantu luya kukufumanisa kunzima ukuphumla lumi ngomlenze omnye, oza kuthi kungekudala udinwe kwaye ube buhlungu. Ngokunjalo, konke okunye athembisa ngako uYesu kufuna ukuba sime ngeenyawo ezimbini: leyo xolelo kwaye thobela.

Ndikhumbula ndifunda ngumphenyi wamapolisa owathi amatyala wokubulala angasonjululwanga ayehlala eshiywe evulekile kangangeminyaka. Isizathu, wathi, kungenxa yesidingo somntu esinganelisiyo sokuxelela umntu, nabani na, ngezono zakhe… kwaye nezaphuli-mthetho eziqaqadekileyo ziyatyibilika amaxesha ngamaxesha. Kwangokunjalo, isazi ngengqondo, esingengomKatolika, sathi bonke abanyangi bahlala bezama ukwenza kwiiseshoni zabo ukwenza ukuba abantu bathule kwizazela zabo ezinetyala. Uthe: "Okwenziwa ngamaKatolika xa bevuma izono, yile nto sizama ukuyenza ukuba izigulane ziyenze ezi-ofisini zethu, kuba oko kusoloko kwanele ukuqala kwenkqubo yokuphilisa."

Yiya… ke uThixo wayeyazi into ayenzayo xa wanika abaPostile baKhe igunya lokuxolela izono. Abo bathi ukuvuma izono yayiyindlela yeCawe yokukhohlisa nokulawula abantu “kwiminyaka yobumnyama” ngokuziva benetyala, eneneni bayanyathela nje kwinyani yeentliziyo zabo: isidingo sokuxolelwa. Kukangaphi umphefumlo wam, ungxwelerhiwe, ungcoliswe kukusilela kwam neempazamo zam, unikwe “amaphiko okhozi” ngeSakramente loXolelaniso! Ukuva loo mazwi ephuma kumbingeleli, “…wanga uThixo angakuxolela noxolo, kwaye ndiyakuxolela ezonweni zakho….”Olunjani lona ubabalo! Esinjani isipho! Ukuya ukuzwa ukuba ndixolelwe, kwaye izono zam zilibalekile ngoMxoleli.

Izono ozixolelayo zixolelwe, kwaye izono ozigcinileyo ziyagcinwa. (UYohane 20:23)

Kodwa kukho okungakumbi kwinceba kaThixo kunokuxolela. Uyabona, ukuba siziva ngathi sithandwa yiNkosi kuphela ukuba siya kuVuma, akukho nto iyinyani oyinyaniso phumla. Umntu onjalo uxhalabile, unobuqili, woyika ukuya ngasekhohlo okanye ekunene esoyika “ingqumbo kaThixo.” Ubuxoki obu! Oku kukuphazamiseka ukuba ngubani uThixo kwaye ujonga njani kuwe. Njengoko isitsho kwiNdumiso namhlanje:

Unemfesane enobabalo uYehova, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. Akenzi kuthi ngokwezono zethu, engasiphindezeli ngokwezigqitho zethu.

Ngaba ufunde ubungqina bam izolo, ibali lenkwenkwana engumKatolika, ekhulele elukholweni, owayekade eyinkokheli yezakwalizwi phakathi koontanga bakhe, owayeneminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo sele enikwe ilifa elityebileyo lokomoya…? Ukanti ndandisakhotyokisiwe sisono. Ngaba uyayibona indlela andiphatha ngayo uThixo, nangelo xesha? Kungoko bendifanele "ingqumbo", endaweni yoko, yena isongelwe mna ezandleni zakhe.

Yintoni eya kukuzisela ukuphumla ukholo kunye nokuzithemba ukuba uyakuthanda kweyakho ubuthathaka. Ukuba uza kufuna igusha elahlekileyo, Wanga egulayo, Udla nomoni, Uchukumisa oneqhenqa, Uyancokola nomSamariya, Wandisa iparadesi kwisela, Uxolela lowo umkhanyelayo, ubiza umsebenzi lowo umtshutshisayo ... Ubeka ubomi baKhe ngokuchanekileyo kwabo bamgatyayo. Xa uyiqonda le-hayi, nini kwamkela oku-emva koko unokuza kuye kwaye uqale ukuphumla. Emva koko ungaqala "ukubhabha ngokungathi ngamaphiko okhozi…"

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba siyakuxhaphaza ukuvuma izono njengesihlambi, ngaphandle kwemizamo yokuphepha ukuba nodaka kwakhona, ndingathi "awunawo umlenze wokuma." Komnye umlenze oxhasa uxolo lwethu lwangaphakathi, ukuphumla kwethu, kunjalo thobela. UYesu wathi "Yizani kum" kwiVangeli. Kodwa uthi,

Thabathani idyokhwe yam niyithwale, nifunde kum; ngokuba ndinobulali, ndithobekile ngentliziyo; noyifumanela ukuphumla. Kuba idyokhwe yam imnandi, nomthwalo wam ulula.

“Idyokhwe” kaKristu yimithetho yaKhe, eshwankathelwe ekuthandeni uThixo nommelwane: umthetho wothando. Ukuba uxolelo lusizisela ukuphumla, kuyavakala ukuba ukuphepha loo nto kundizisele ityala kweyokuqala indawo, iyaqhubeka nokuphumla. Baninzi abaprofeti bobuxoki kwilizwe lethu, nkqu naseCaweni, abanqwenela ukusitha nokutshintsha umthetho wokuziphatha. Kodwa bagqume phezu komhadi kunye nomgibe ogibe abantu ekungazinzini ngaphakathi, isono, esiphazamisa umphefumlo kwaye siphange uxolo (iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba, ukuba ndiyona, ndiyakwazi hlala ngomnye umlenze, ngokuthetha.)

Kodwa imiyalelo kaThixo ayizukulahlekisa, kodwa iya kukukhokelela kubomi obuninzi kunye nakwinkululeko eNkosini. UDavid uyadanduluka kwiNdumiso 119 imfihlelo yovuyo kunye noxolo lwangaphakathi:

akho umthetho Ndiyayithanda imithetho yakho, Nkosi yam! ... Ndizigcinile iinyawo zam kwiindlela zonke ezimbi… Hayi, ukuba mnandi kwentetho yam ulwimi lwakho; Ngeziyalezo zakho ndifumana ukuqonda. Ngenxa yoko ndiwuthiyile wonke umendo wobuxoki. Ilizwi lakho lisisibane seenyawo zam, nokukhanya emendweni wam. (vs. 77, 97-105)

Umthetho kaThixo “ngumthwalo” olula. Kungumthwalo kuba kuthetha uxanduva. Kukhanya, kuba imiyalelo ayinzima, kwaye enyanisweni, isizisela ubomi nomvuzo.

Kuba uyathandwa, uyabizwa ukuba uthande. Le yimilenze yomibini apho kumi ukuphumla, uxolo lwenu… nobabalo lokuhamba kungekuphela, kodwa abalekele ebomini obungunaphakade.
