Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

PHA Kwakulindelwe kwiCawa yokuqala ukuba uYesu uzakubuya kungekudala. Kungoko uPawulos esithi kwabaseKorinte kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje ukuba "ixesha liyaphela." Ngenxa yokuba “Uxinzelelo lwangoku”, unika iingcebiso ngomtshato, ecebisa ukuba abo bangatshatanga bahlala bengatshatanga. Kwaye uqhubeka ...

Ukususela ngoku, abo banabafazi mababe njengabangenabo, abalilayo njengabangalili, abavuyayo njengabangavuyiyo, abathengayo njengabangenabo, abalisebenzisayo eli hlabathi njengabangalisebenzisi ngokupheleleyo. Kuba elimiweyo liyadlula ngokwemilo yalo.

Ngokusisiseko, uPawulos ufundisa umphulaphuli wakhe ukuba aphile e umoya wokwahluka. Icebiso lakhe aliphelelwa lixesha, kuba sonke siyazi ukuba ngokwenene ubomi “buyaphaphazela” kwaye ihlabathi nako konke okwexeshana ngokwenene liyabuna… liyabola, liyaphuka, libolile… akukho nto iseleyo, ngaphandle komphefumlo ongunaphakade.

Amazwi akhe asenokubonakala ebuhlungu kwabanye—eluvuyo olubulalayo. Kodwa yiyo loo nto ndibhale ukuba siyidinga kakhulu ubulumko ^[1]cf. Ubulumko, Amandla kaThixo ukuze uqonde oko kuxabiseke ngokwenene kobu bomi. Kwaye impendulo ithi uBukumkani. “Ukulahlekelwa” kobu bomi eneneni kukufumana kwakhona, kunye nemilinganiselo yanaphakade.

Ninoyolo, nina mahlwempu; ngokuba bobenu ubukumkani bukaThixo. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Yiyo loo nto abefundisi kunye nenkolo benxiba iikhola okanye imikhwa: njengemiqondiso yangaphandle ebonisa ukuba kukho isipho esikhulu kunesithembiso esingenanto solonwabo esinikezwa yile ndawo yasemhlabeni. Emthandazweni ngenye imini, ndabona iNkosi isithi:

Xa unikela ngobomi bakho ngenxa yoBukumkani bam, ufumana ubomi bakho kwakhona 30, 60, kalikhulu. Mntwana wam, nikela konke ngenxa yam, ndokwenzela konke.

Nantsi into ayifumanayo uPawulos oNgcwele: philela uKristu; obu bomi buyadlula; musa ukunamathela kuso nasiphi na isidalwa okanye nantoni na; zonke izinto zigqaleni njengenkunkuma xa zithelekiswa nokwazi uYesu Kristu... ^[2]cf. Fil 3: 8 Oku akuthethi ukuba ubani ufanele aliphathe njengenkunkuma iqabane lakhe, kodwa kunoko, ukubona ukuba nesithandwa sakhe sesomzuzwana nje. Lunye kuphela uthando olungadyobhiyo, kwaye lolo lukaBathathu Emnye oNgcwele. Ukuthanda uThixo kuqala ngowona myalelo mkhulu, yaye ngenxa yoko, obona butyebi bubalaseleyo anokulufumana umntu. Ukulahla eli hlabathi, ukuba “ngamahlwempu… ukulamba… ukulila” kukuthatha indlela emxinwa esa eluvuyweni noxolo olungaphaya kwendalo kunendlela ebanzi nelula yolonwabo lwenyama olusisiphelo esibi.

Kodwa yeha, nina zityebi, ngokuba niyifumene intuthuzelo yenu! Yeha ke, nina nihluthiyo ngoku; ngokuba niya kulamba. Yeha, nina bahlekayo kalokunje; ngokuba niya kuxhalaba, nilile; Yeha nina, xa bathe bathetha kakuhle ngani bonke! (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Konke okuthethileyo, kufuneka sinikele ingqalelo kwi imiqondiso yamaxesha.

Ndibongoza lonke uluntu ukuba “luyiphonononge rhoqo imiqondiso yamaxesha”. Olu luxanduva olunzulu, kuba iinyani ezithile ezikhoyo ngoku, ngaphandle kokuba kujongwane nazo ngokufanelekileyo, ziyakwazi ukumisela iinkqubo zokuthotywa kobuntu ekunokuthi emva koko kube nzima ukuzibuyisela umva.. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-51

Inene, kuza isizukulwana ngelo xesha ngeke phumani, eya kufika kuyo imbandezelo enkulu. Ukuthathela ingqalelo zonke izinto kwimiqondiso yendalo, iingxelo ezinamandla zeapocalyptic zoopopu, ^[3]cf. Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza? imiqondiso ecacileyo eSibhalweni—nakum, ndibhengeza oko ndinyanzelwe nguMoya ukuba ndikubhale kwaye ndishumayele kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo—ndicinga ukuba singabagqatswa abaqinisekisayo. ukuba isizukulwana. Andikhathali nokuba ndiyaphazama. UPawulos wayengakhathali nokuba wayephazama. Eyona nto yayibalulekile kuye nakum yayikukulungiselela umfundi “ukubandezeleka okukhoyo.” Phulaphula ngenyameko kuPetros owathi ekugqibeleni waqonda ukuba ixesha likaThixo lahlukile kunelo lalilindelwe yiCawa yamandulo.

Yazini oku kuqala, ukuba ngemihla yokugqibela kuya kugaleleka abagxeki, behamba ngokwezabo iinkanuko, besithi, Liphi na kaloku idinga lokufika kwakhe?... Ke yona le nto inye, zintanda, ze ningayityesheli; imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, neminyaka eliwaka injengemini enye. INkosi ayilibali idinga layo, njengoko abanye becinga “ukulibazisa,” kodwa inomonde kuni, inganqweneli ukuba kutshabalale nabani na kodwa ukuba bonke bafikelele enguqukweni. Ke yona imini yeNkosi iya kufika njengesela. ( 2 Petros 3:3-1 )

Ukuba ndiyayiva iNkosi ilungile, Ixesha lifutshane kakhulu kwaye ikhona Ixesha elincinane lasekhohlo. Ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba eneneni sisemgubasini ‘wemini yeNkosi’, engesosiphelo sehlabathi, kodwa ekuqaliseni kwexesha elitsha, oko abaSeki beCawa balatha kuko okomfuziselo ‘kweminyaka eliwaka’ yeSityhilelo 20 . ^[4]cf. Usuku Olunye Olunyes Yaye iza ‘njengesela ebusuku.

Kodwa musani ukuwoyika “umgwebo wabaphilayo” ofunekayo kuthi. ^[5]cf. Izigwebo zokugqibela Ayisosiphelo sehlabathi, kodwa isiqalo sento entle: “imini”, hayi “ubusuku” beNkosi. Masiphile ke ngoko njengoko watshoyo uPawulos oNgcwele, kuloo moya wengxolo apho, silahliwe lihlabathi, sinokuzaliswa nguMoya kaYesu. Yile nto iNenekazi lethu lisilungiselela yona: ukuza kukaYesu ^[6]cf. Bawo Oyingcwele ... Uyeza! ukulawula ezintliziyweni zethu njenge ilangatye lothando. ^[7]cf. Inkwenkwezi yokusa yasekuseni

Masikhawuleze simenzele indawo…. ngenxa ixesha liyaphela.
