NINI kuziwa ekukhuliseni isono kule Lent, asinakho ukwahlukanisa inceba noMnqamlezo, okanye uMnqamlezo kwinceba. Ufundo lwanamhlanje ludibaniso olunamandla kuzo zombini…
Ethetha ngezona zixeko mhlawumbi zazidume ngokubi kwimbali, iSodom neGomora, uYehova wenza isibongozo esichukumisayo:
Khanize simise izinto, utsho uYehova; nokuba izono zenu zide zavela zanjengengubo ebomvu, zoba mhlophe njengekhephu; nokuba zide zayingqombela, zosuka zibe mhlophe njengoboya. (ukufunda okokuqala)
NgokaKristu Inceba loo nto yenza kube nokwenzeka ngathi ukujamelana nenyaniso ebuhlungu ngathi. Intliziyo Engcwele kaYesu ihlala iboniswa njengomlilo odangazelayo, ovutha luthando olungenakuchazwa. Umntu akanako njani ukutsaleleka kubushushu balo mlilo weNceba yobuThixo?
Mphefumlo uthe tyum ubumnyama, ungalahli ithemba. Konke akukalahleki. Yiza uzityand 'igila kuThixo wakho, oluthando nenceba… Makungabikho soyika umphefumlo ukusondela kum, nangona izono zawo zingqombela… Andinako ukohlwaya nesona sono sikhulu ukuba sicela ububele bam, kodwa Ngokuchasene noko, ndiyamgwebela kwinceba yam engenakulinganiswa nengenakuqondakala. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamKwidayari, n. Ngo-1486, 699, ngo-1146
Kodwa njengoko umntu esondela kuye, uya kwenjenjalo ukukhanya yale Flame ikwabhentsisa izono zomntu kunye nobungakanani bobumnyama bakhe bangaphakathi, ngokufuthi kubangela ukuba umphefumlo obuthathaka urhoxe kuloyiko, ukuphoxeka nokuzisizela. Njengoko iNdumiso namhlanje isitsho:
ndiya kukuthethisa ngokuzinyusa phambi kwamehlo akho.
Musa ukoyika ukuzibona njengokuba unjalo ngokwenene! Kuba le nyaniso iya kuba qalisa ukukukhulula. Kodwa andicingi ukuba kwanele ukuthembela kwinceba yakhe. Sisindisiwe ngobabalo ngalo ukholo; [1]cf. Efe 2:8 ewe… kodwa singcwalisiwe ngaye “sithwala umnqamlezo wethu mihla le” [2]cf. ULuka 9:23 nokulandela emanyathelweni kaYesu—ukuya kutsho eKalvari. Umphefumlo othi ngokuphindaphindiweyo, “UThixo uya kundixolela, unenceba,” kodwa ungawuthabathi nomnqamlezo wakhe ungumbukeli nje wobuKristu kunokuba ube nenxaxheba—njengabaFarisi kwiVangeli yanamhlanje:
Kuba bayashumayela kodwa abakwenzi.
Ukuze sincothule ukhula lwemikhwa yesono, asinakusuka nje sincothule amagqabi e-Confession, ngokungathi kunjalo. Isono siya kuphinda sikhule ngokokhula, ukuba asithanga sikhule iingcambu phuma nawe. UYesu wathi, “Nabani na ofuna ukundilandela makazincame. [3]I-Matt 16: 24 Kufuneka sishiye i-confessional ilungele ukwenza imibingelelo, ukuba singene ngenkalipho kwidabi lokomoya ngokuchasene neengcambu. Kwaye uThixo uya kuba khona ukuze asihlangule aze asincede, kuba ngaphandle kwakhe, “asinakwenza nto.” [4]cf. Yohane 15:5
Zilindeni; yimani elukholweni, yomelelani, yomelelani. (Funda eyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 13:16.)
Umlo wokomoya uquka ukuba umlinganiselo othile woqeqesho-umnqamlezo-kufuneka ungene ebomini bethu:
Yini na ukuba uyicengeze imimiselo yam, Uwuthethe umnqophiso wam ngomlomo wakho, nawuthiyileyo? ingqeqesho Aphose amazwi am emva kwakho? (INdumiso yanamhlanje)
Ngaba ukhe wawela kweso sono siphinda-phinda? Wandule ke ukuvume ngokunyanisekileyo oko ngokuphindaphindiweyo, ungaze uyithandabuze inceba kaThixo—Lowo uxolela “amashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe aphindiweyo kasixhenxe.” [5]cf. Mat 18:22 Kodwa ke, yiyeke iqalise ukukuxabisa kancinci. Ukuba uphinda ukhubeke kwesi sono, yiyeke into obuyilindele ngamehlo abomvu: ikomityi yekofu, i-snack, inkqubo yeTV, umsi, njl. , ukungcola okunene kukuthanda isiqu sakho, ngokuba, ukona, kukuzithiya.
Uyathandwa. UThixo uyakuthanda. Ngoku qala ukuzithanda ngokuba yile nto uyiyo ngokwenene. Oko kuthetha ukuthabatha umnqamlezo wokuzincama, nokuncothula ukhula oluminxayo lowo wenene owenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. umnqamlezo okhokelela ebomini nakwinkululeko. Kuba “nabani na ozithobayo uya kuphakanyiswa.” [6]IVangeli yanamhlanje
