Bahlobo abathandekayo, iNkosi ifuna ukuba nibe ngabaprofeti beli xesha litsha… -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Kwasekhaya, USuku loLutsha lweHlabathi, eSydney, e-Australia, nge-20 kaJulayi ka-2008
Ndinqwenela ukuthetha ngakumbi ngeli 'xesha litsha' okanye ixesha elizayo. Kodwa ndifuna ukunqumama okomzuzwana ndibonge uThixo, iliwa lethu, nendawo yethu yokusabela. Kuba ngenceba yakhe, esazi ubuthathaka bendalo yomntu, usinike a obuphathekayo Iliwa lokuma phezu kwalo, iBandla laKhe. UMoya othenjisiweyo uyaqhubeka ukukhokela kwaye etyhila iinyani ezinzulu zaloo dipozithi yokholo Ayigcinise kubaPostile, kwaye eqhubeka nokudluliselwa namhlanje ngabalandela babo. Asilahlanga! Asishiywanga ukuba siyifumane ngokwethu inyaniso. INkosi iyathetha, kwaye ithetha ngokucacileyo ngeCawe yayo, nokuba inamanxeba kwaye yenzakele.
INkosi uYehova ayenzi nto ingathanga ilityhile icebo layo kubakhonzi bayo abaprofeti. Ingonyama igquma — ngubani na ongoyikiyo? INkosi uYehova ithethile, ngubani na ongayi kuprofeta. (Amosi 3: 8)
IMINYAKA YOKHOLO
Ndathi ndakucamngca ngeli xesha litsha lizayo athetha ngalo aBaseki beCawa, kweza amazwi kaSt Paul:
Luhleli ke ukholo, ithemba, uthando, ezi zinto zontathu; kodwa eyona inkulu kwezi luthando (1 Kor 13:13).
Emva kokuwa kuka-Adam no-Eva, kwaqala i Ubudala bokholo. Oku kunokubonakala kungaqhelekanga ukuthetha kwasekuqaleni ukusukela kwisibhengezo esingabo “Sisindiswe ngobabalo ngenxa yokholo” (Efe 2: 8) ayizukufika kude kube kuthunywe uMesiya. Kodwa ukusukela ngexesha lokuwa kude kufike ukuza kukaKrestu okokuqala, uBawo wamema abantu baKhe kulwalamano lomnqophiso wokholo ngokuthobela, njengoko kwakuthethwe ngumprofeti uHabbakuk:
… Ilungisa liya kudla ubomi ngenxa yokholo lwalo. (Hab. 2: 4)
Kwangelo xesha, wayebonisa ukuba lilize kwemisebenzi yabantu, enjengokubingelela ngezilwanyana kunye nezinye iinkalo zomthetho wesiHebhere. 
Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuThixo yayikubo ukholo-Isiseko sokubuyisela ubudlelwane naye.
Ukholo kukufezekisa oko kulindelweyo kunye nobungqina bezinto ezingabonwayo…. Ngale nto waligweba ihlabathi, wabudla ilifa ubulungisa obuza ngokukholwa. (Heb 11: 1, 6-7)
USt.Paul uyaqhubeka, kwisahluko seshumi elinanye samaHebhere, ukucacisa indlela ubulungisa buka-Abraham, uYakobi, uJoseph, uMoses, uGidiyon, uDavid, njl. ukholo.
Kodwa bonke aba, nangona babevunyiwe ngenxa yokholo lwabo, abazifumananga izinto ezazithenjisiwe. UThixo wayesibonelele kwangaphambili okungcono, ukuze ngaphandle kwethu bangagqibeki. (Heb 11: 39-40)
Ubudala bokholo, emva koko, babungu lindele okanye imbewu yesigaba esilandelayo, i Ubudala beThemba.
IXESHA LETHEMBA
"Into ebhetele" eyayibalindile yayikukuzalwa ngokutsha kokomoya kobuntu, ukuza kobukumkani bukaThixo ngaphakathi entliziyweni yomntu.
Ukufezekisa ukuthanda kukaYise, uKrestu wazisa uBukumkani bamazulu emhlabeni. Icawa "uLawulo lukaKristu olusele lukho emfihlakalweni." -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, 763
Kodwa kuyakufika ngexabiso kuba umthetho wesono wawusele usebenze:
Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa, kuba indalo yathotyelwa kokuphuthileyo, ngethemba lokuba nayo indalo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala (Rom 6:23; 8: 20-21).
U-Thixo, ngesenzo esikhulu sothando, wahlawula umvuzo ngokwaKhe. Kodwa uYesu watya ukufa emnqamlezweni! Oko kwabonakala kumoyisa 
yayiginywe ngumlomo wengcwaba. Wenza into engenakwenziwa nguMoses noAbraham no David: Wavuka kwelabafileyo, ngaloo ndlela esoyisa ukufa ngokufa ngeDini laKhe elingenachaphaza. Ekuvukeni kwakhe, u Yesu waqondisa ngokutsha imisinga yokufa ebulalayo isuka emasangweni esiHogo aya emasangweni ezulu. Ithemba elitsha yayileli: lokuba into umntu awayeyivumele ngokuzikhethela kwakhe-ukufa-ngoku yayiyindlela entsha eya kuThixo ngeNtshutshiso yeNkosi yethu.
Ubumnyama oboyikisayo belo lixa babonisa ukuphela kwesenzo sokuqala sendalo, sixhuzulwa sisono. Kwakubonakala ngathi luloyiso lokufa, uloyiso ngobubi. Endaweni yokuba, xa ingcwaba lilele cwaka, icebo losindiso lalizaliseka, kwaye "indalo entsha" yayiza kuqala. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo we-Urbi et Orbi, NgeCawa yePasika, nge-15 ka-Epreli 2001
Nangona ngoku "sisidalwa esitsha" kuKristu, ngokungathi esi sidalwa sitsha besikho ikhulelwe kunokuba yenziwe ngokupheleleyo kwaye izalwe. Ubomi obutsha ngoku nokwenzeka emnqamlezweni, kodwa kuhlala kuluntu ukuba fumana Esi sipho ngokholo kwaye ke sikhulelwe obu bomi butsha. “Isibeleko” luphawu lobhaptizo; “imbewu” iliLizwi laKhe; kunye neyethu fiat, ewe wethu ngokholo, "liqanda" elilindele ukuchunyiswa. Ubomi obutsha obuza ngaphakathi kuthi nguKristu ngokwakhe:
Aniqondi na ukuba uYesu Krestu ukho kuni? (2 Kor. 13: 5)
Yiyo loo nto sisitsho ngokufanelekileyo ngeSt Paul:Kuba sasindiselwa ethembeni”(Rom 8:24). Sithi "sinethemba" kuba, nangona sihlangulwe, asikafezeki. Asinakuthetha ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba “ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum"(Gal 2: 20). Obu bomi butsha buqulathwe "kwizitya zodongwe" zobuthathaka bomntu. Sisazabalaza ngokuchasene "nexhego" elisitsala lize lisitsalele ngasemva kumwonyo wokufa kwaye simelana nokuba sisidalwa esitsha.
… Nifanele ukuba nilahle ubuntu obudala, bonakalise iinkanuko zokulukuhla, nihlaziyeke emoyeni wengqondo yenu, nimambathe umntu omtsha, othe ngokukaThixo wadalelwa ebulungiseni, nasebungcweleni benyaniso. (Kwabase-Efese 4: 22-24)
Kwaye ke, ubhaptizo sisiqalo nje. Uhambo esibelekweni ngoku kufuneka luqhubeke kanye kule ndlela uKristu ayityhilileyo: Indlela yoMnqamlezo. UYesu wayibeka ngolu hlobo:
… Ngaphandle kokuba ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni luze lufe, luhlala lukhozo nje; kodwa ukuba iyafa, ivelisa isiqhamo esininzi. (UYohane 12:24)
Ukuze ndibengumntu onyanisekileyo ndikuKristu, kufuneka ndishiye ngasemva into endingeyiyo. Luhambo kwi Bumnyama yesibeleko, luhambo lokholo nomzabalazo… kodwa ithemba.
… Sisoloko sithwele emzimbeni ukufa kukaYesu, ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe nasemzimbeni wethu… Kuba ngeli thuba sikule ntente siyancwina, sisindwa, Yambathani ngakumbi, ukuze oko kufayo kuginywe bubomi. (2 Kor 4:10, 2 Kor 5: 4)
Siyancwina ukuba sizalwe! Umama weCawa uyancwina ukuzala abangcwele!
Bantwana bam, endibuye ndasetyenzelwa ngenxa yakhe, ade uKristu amiliswe ngaphakathi kwenu! (Gal 4:19)
Kuba sihlaziywa kumfanekiselo kaThixo, onguye uthando, umntu unokuthi yonke indalo ilindele ngokupheleleyo ukutyhilwa kothando:
Indalo ilindele ngolangazelelo olukhulu ukutyhilwa kwabantwana bakaThixo… Siyazi ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina inenimba kwada kwaba ngoku… (Roma 8: 19-22)
Ke, iXesha leThemba ikwiminyaka ye lindele olandelayo... an Ubudala boLuthando.
IMINYAKA YOTHANDO
UThixo osisityebi ngenceba, ngenxa yothando olukhulu awasithanda ngalo, naxa besifile ziziphoso, wasidlisa ubomi noKristu (ngobabalo usindisiwe), wasivusa kunye naye, sahlala; nathi kunye namazulu kuKristu Yesu, ukuba kwizizukulwana ezizayo ukuze abubonakalalise ubutyebi obungenakuthelekiswa nanto bobabalo lwakhe ngobabalo lwakhe kuthi kuKristu Yesu. (Efese 2: 4-7)
"… Kwizizukulwana ezizayo…", Utsho uSt. Icawa yokuqala yaqala ukubona umonde kaThixo njengoko ukubuya kukaYesu kwakubonakala kulibazisekile (cf. 2 Pt 3: 9) kwaye amanye amakholwa aqala ukudlula. USt.Peter, umalusi oyintloko weCawa yamaKrestu, ephefumlelwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wathetha ilizwi eliqhubeka nokondla iigusha unanamhla:
… Sukuyityeshela le nyaniso, zintanda, ukuba eNkosini imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, newaka leminyaka injengemini enye. (2 Pet.3: 8)
Ewe, "isenzo sesibini" sendalo asiyoyokugqibela nayo. YayinguJohn Paul II owabhala ukuba ngoku “siwela umda 
ithemba. ” Iyaphi? Ukuya kwi Ubudala boLovi…
… Eyona inkulu kwezi luthando… (1 Kor. 13:13)
Njengabantu eCaweni, siyakhulelwa, sife kuthi, sikhuliselwe kubomi obutsha kuzo zonke iinkulungwane. Kodwa iBandla lilonke liyasebenza. Kwaye kufuneka alandele uKristu ukusuka ebusika obude beenkulungwane zamva nje ukuya "kwintwasahlobo entsha."
Phambi kokuza kwesibini kukaKrestu, iBandla kufuneka lidlule kwityala lokugqibela eliya kushukumisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaninzi… ICawe iyakungena ebuqaqawulini bobukumkani kuphela ngale Pasika yokugqibela, xa iyakulandela iNkosi yayo ekufeni nasekuVukeni kwayo. -CCC, 675, 677
Kodwa njengokuba iSt. Paul isikhumbuza, sibaeguqulwe ebuqaqawulini waya ebuqaqawulini”(2 Cor 3:18), njengosana olukhula ukusuka kwinqanaba ukuya kwinqanaba kwisibeleko sikanina. Kungoko sifunda kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo ukubaumfazi owambethe ilanga, ” athe uPapa uBenedict ungumfuziselo wabo bobabini uMariya kunye neNina Church…
… Wenza isijwili ngokuvakalayo ziintlungu njengoko wayesebenza nzima ukuba abeleke. (ISityhi. 12: 2)
Lo “mntwana uyinkwenkwe” wayeza kuvela ”umiselwe ukulawula zonke iintlanga ngentonga yentsimbi. ” Kodwa emva koko uSt. John ubhala,
Umntwana wakhe wathatyathelwa kuThixo nakwitrone yakhe. (12: 5)
Ewe, oku kubhekisa kunyuko lukaKristu. Kodwa khumbula, uYesu unomzimba, a Umzimba oyimfihlakalo ukuzalwa! Umntwana oza kuzalwa ngeXesha loThando, ke, "nguKrestu wonke," uKristu "okhulileyo", ngokungathi kunjalo:
… Side sonke sifikelele kubunye bokholo naselwazini loNyana kaThixo, ebudodeni obupheleleyo, ukuya kufikelela kubume obupheleleyo bukaKristu. (Efese 4:13)
Kwisigaba Sothando, iCawe ekugqibeleni iyakufikelela “ebudaleni.” Intando kaThixo iyakuba ngumthetho wobomi (okt. “Intonga yentsimbi”okoko uYesu wathi,Ukuba niyayigcina imiyalelo yam, nohlala eluthandweni lwam ” (Yoh 15:10).
Oku kuzinikela [kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele} yayiyinzame yokugqibela yothando lwaKhe awayeza kuyinika abantu kwezi sizukulwana zokugqibela, ukuze abarhoxe kubukumkani bukaSathana, awayenqwenela ukubutshabalalisa, ukuze babazise inkululeko emnandi yolawulo lothando lwaKhe, awayenqwenela ukuyibuyisela ezintliziyweni zabo bonke abo bamkele oku kuzinikela.—St. UMargaret Mary,www.linyecitydd.com
Imisinga yomdiliya kunye namasebe iya kufikelela kuwo onke amanxweme (cf. Isaya 42: 4)…
ICawa yamaKatolika, yobukumkani bukaKristu emhlabeni, imiselwe ukusasazeka ebantwini bonke nakwiintlanga zonke… —I-POPE PIUS XI, Iikota Primas, Encyclical, n. 12, Ngomhla we-11, 1925
… Neziprofeto ezide zaxelwa kwangaphambili malunga namaJuda nazo ziya kuzalisekiswa kuba nazo ziya kuba yinxalenye ka "Krestu uphela":
"Ukubandakanywa okupheleleyo" kwamaJuda kusindiso lukaMesiya, ekuvukeni "kwenani elipheleleyo leeNtlanga", kuya kwenza ukuba abantu bakaThixo bafezekise "umlinganiso wenqanaba lokuzaliseka kukaKristu", apho " UThixo angabakho konke kubo bonke ”. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-674
Kwimida yexesha, eyona inkulu kule minyaka luthando. Kodwa nayo yiminyaka ye lindele xa ekugqibeleni siyakuphumla kwiingalo zothando lwaNaphakade… kwi Ubudala obungunaphakade bothando.
Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, othe ngokobuninzi benceba yakhe, wasizala ngokutsha; ukuzalwa kwethemba elitsala ubomi kuvuko lukaYesu Krestu ekufeni; ukuzalwa kwilifa elingenakonakala, elingenakho ukubuna okanye ukungcola, eligcinelwa ezulwini nina nilondolozwe ngamandla kaThixo ngokholo. ukuzalwa kosindiso olulungele ukutyhilwa ngemihla yokugqibela. (1 Pet. 1: 3-5)
