Ngaphandle kokuba iNkosi Yakhe uLuntu…

NJENGOBA Amakholwa eCawe yokuqala, ndiyazi ukuba namhlanje abaninzi baziva benobizo olomeleleyo oluya kuluntu lobuKristu. Ngapha koko, ndiye ndathetha iminyaka kunye nabazalwana noodade malunga nalo mnqweno ngaphakathi kubomi bobuKristu nakubomi beCawa. Njengoko uBenedict XVI watsho:

Andinakho ukuba noKrestu ngenxa yam kuphela; Ndingabakhe kuphela ngokumanyene nabo bonke abaye baba, okanye abaya kuba ngabakhe. UMthendeleko unditsalela kuye ndisiya kuye, kwaye ke ngokunjalo kumanyano nawo onke amaKristu. Siba "mzimba mnye", sihlangene ngokupheleleyo kubomi obunye. -UDeus Caritas Est, n. I-14

Le yingcinga entle, kwaye ayisiyiyo iphupha lombhobho. Ngumthandazo wesiprofeto sikaYesu wokuba "sonke sibe banye." ^[1]cf. Yoh 17:21 Kwelinye icala, ubunzima esijamelene nabo namhlanje ekwenzeni amaqela obuKristu abuncinci. Ngelixa iFocolare okanye iNdlu yaseMadonna okanye abanye abawexuki besinika ubulumko obuxabisekileyo kunye namava okuphila "kubudlelane," kukho izinto ezimbalwa ekufuneka sizigcinile.

Ufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje sisilumkiso esinamandla malunga nokwakha uluntu ngaphandle kobabalo lukaThixo:

... ukuba lo mzamo okanye lo msebenzi ngowemvelaphi yomntu, uya kuzitshabalalisa ngokwawo.

Zininzi ke iindawo ezihlala abantu, nokuba zezombelele okanye zingcwalisiwe, ziye zawa ngokuhamba kweminyaka ngenxa yokuba zaqala zisenyameni okanye zaphelela enyameni.

Ukuxhalabela inyama kukufa, kodwa ukuxhalabela koMoya bubomi noxolo… abo bakwinyama abanakumkholisa uThixo. (Thelekisa amaRoma 8:6-8 )

Naphi na apho kukho amabhongo okuzingca, umnqweno wegunya, ukongamela, ukuzikhethela kunye nekhwele, lumka! La asingawo amatye esiseko ‘endlu yeNkosi,’ kodwa yindlu yolwahlulo.

Zingaphi iimfazwe ezenzekayo phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo nakwiindawo esihlala kuzo… Ihlabathi lethu lidlakazwe ziimfazwe nogonyamelo, kwaye lonakaliswa kukuthanda kwabantu ngabanye okwahlula abantu, kubabeka ngokuchaseneyo njengoko besukela intlalo-ntle yabo— Kuhlala kubuhlungu kum kakhulu ukufumanisa indlela amanye amaKristu, nabantu abangcwalisiweyo, abanokunyamezela iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zobutshaba, iiyantlukwano, intlebendwane, ukunyeliswa, ukuzingca, umona kunye nomnqweno wokunyanzelisa iimbono ezithile nangaziphi na iindleko, nkqu nakwiintshutshiso eziya kuthi qatha. babonakala bezingela amagqwirha okwenyani. Ngubani esiya kushumayela ivangeli ukuba le yindlela esenza ngayo? -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. Ngo-98-100

Kwelinye icala, naphi na apho kukho uxolo, uvuyo, inkululeko, ukuhloniphana, nomnqweno wokwabelana ngesigidimi nobomi bukaYesu, ezi ziimpawu zoMoya oyiNgcwele osebenzayo. Ungalibali, uluntu lweBandla lokuqala lwazalwa ngePentekoste, lwazalwa ngoMoya. IBandla lokuqala lalingumsebenzi kaThixo, kaKristu, owathi, “Ndiza kuyakha iBandla lam.” ^[2]cf. Mat 16:18 UYesu Kristu ukwanguye izolo, namhlanje, nangonaphakade. ^[3]cf. Heb 13: 8

Ngelixa kufuneka sizabalazele namhlanje ukuthanda, ukukhonza, kwaye sifumaneke omnye komnye kusapho lwethu, kwirhamente, okanye ekuhlaleni, kufuneka ngononophelo olukhulu nangomonde silindele eNkosini ukuba isibonise indlela yolwakhiwo loluntu olusesikweni ngakumbi lobuKristu. Ye:

Ngaphandle kokuba uYehova uyayakha indlu, basebenzela ilize eyakhayo. (INdumiso 127: 1)

Imiqobo yemali, engokomzimba, kwaneyeecawa ekusekweni koluntu namhlanje ayimncinane. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba uYehova akalunqweneli uluntu. Wenza into entsha namhlanje; ifihliwe, izolile, ilindele ukuzalwa ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ndisoloko ndisiva iNkosi ithetha entliziyweni yam ngo a “Intsuba entsha yewayini.” Oko kukuthi, akufuneki sizame ukugalela imifuziselo yakudala yoluntu kumaxesha ethu; ukuba, enyanisweni, “ixesha lobulungiseleli liyaphela”, oko kukuthi, asibubo ubulungiseleli ngokwabo, kodwa bubulungiseleli njengoko besisazi. Ihlabathi liza kutshintsha ngokumangalisayo, kwaye ke, kufuneka sihlangane kunye noMariya kwakhona kwigumbi eliphezulu leentliziyo zethu, kunye nabo uziva utsalelekile ukuba bakhe uluntu, kwaye “lindani idinga likaBawo.” ^[4]cf. KwiZenzo 1:4

Lindela kuYehova ukhaliphe; yiba nesibindi, uthembele kuYehova. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)

Kwaye ungatyhafi ukuba iNkosi ayibambeleli kumda wexesha lakho! Into ayicelayo kuwe namhlanje ngumnikelo omncinci wakho fiat, “izonka ezihlanu” zomthandazo, zentobelo, zenkonzo, zokuthobeka nokukholosa. Kwaye uya kubandisa ngokwecebo laKhe, intando yaKhe, ngendlela eya kukondla ngeyona ndlela ilungileyo, uluntu, kunye nehlabathi obizelwe ukulikhonza.

Elokuvala, ndingathanda ukwabelana nani “ngelizwi” langaphakathi endalifumana ngoxa ndandithandaza phambi koMthendeleko oSikelelweyo neqaqobana labavangeli bamaKatolika nomfundisi, kwiminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo. Ungayifunda apha: Indawo ezizayo kunye neendawo zokubalekela.
