NJANI AmaKatolika amaninzi akhe anqumame acinge ukuba kukho Isicwangciso sehlabathi sosindiso iyaqhubeka? Ngaba uThixo usebenza mzuzu ngamnye ekuzalisekisweni kwelo cebo? Xa abantu bejonga phezulu emafini adlulayo, bambalwa abacinga ngobubanzi obungapheliyo beminyele kunye neenkqubo zeplanethi ezingaphaya. Babona amafu, intaka, isaqhwithi, kwaye baqhubeke ngaphandle kokucinga ngemfihlakalo elele ngaphaya kwamazulu. Ngokukwanjalo, yimiphefumlo embalwa ejonge ngaphaya koloyiso lwangoku kunye neenkqwithela kwaye ziyaqonda ukuba zikhokelela ekufezekisweni kwezithembiso zikaKristu, ezichazwe kwiVangeli yanamhlanje:

Ndiya kuwuncamela izimvu umphefumlo wam. Ndinazo nezinye iigusha ezingezizo ezobu buhlanti. nazo ezo ndimele ndizikhokele, yaye ziya kuliva ilizwi lam, yaye ziya kuba mhlambi mnye, nomalusi abe mnye.

Kwisifundo sokuqala, sibona icebo likaKristu umanyano phakathi kwezizwe zonke iqala ukutyhileka, njengokuba abanye beeNtlanga zokuqala baqalisa ukungena eBandleni. Kwaye igama eliphambili apha ukuqala. Kuba kukho umbuzo obambekayo ovelayo: icebo likaKristu kufuneka linabe kude kube nini de lifikelele ekuzalisekeni? Kukho iimpendulo ezintathu kulo mbuzo ofumaneka eZibhalweni, kwiSiko Elingcwele, nakwilizwi likaMagisterium:

I. Zide zonke izizwe zimamkele uYesu njengeNkosi. ^[1]Isa 11:9-10; Mat 24:14

II. Kude kubekho uxolo lwehlabathi lonke. ^[2]Isa 11:4-6; ISityhilelo 20:1-6

III. Ide iBandla lilandele iNkosi yalo “ekufeni nasekuvukeni” kwaYo. ^[3]Efe 5:27; ISityhilelo 20:6

Kwaye kungabikho nabani na ocinga ukuba ezi zitoliko ezikhohlakeleyo zesiBhalo, phulaphula ilizwi likaKristu engqondweni yeBandla:

"Kwaye ziya kuliva izwi lam, kwaye kuya kubakho isibaya esinye kunye nomalusi omnye." Wanga uThixo… ngokufutshane uza kusizalisekisa isiprofetho sakhe sokuguqula lo mbono udlamkileyo wexesha elizayo ube yinto yokwenene… Kungumsebenzi kaThixo ukuzisa olu lonwabo yure kwaye sikwenze kwazeke kubo bonke abantu… Xa sifikile, siya kuba sisidima yure, inye kuphela ineziphumo kungekuphela kokubuyiselwa koBukumkani bukaKristu, kodwa kunye noxolo lwehlabathi. Sithandaza ngokunyanisekileyo, kwaye sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuba bathandazele le ntlalo ilangazelelwa kakhulu yoluntu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi "Kuxolo lukaKristu eBukumkanini bakhe", UDisemba 23, 1922

Ubunye behlabathi buya kuba njalo. Isidima somntu asiyi kwamkelwa ngokusesikweni kuphela kodwa nangempumelelo. Ukungabinabomi kobomi, ukususela esibelekweni ukuya ebudaleni… Ukungalingani okufanelekileyo kwezasekhaya kuya koyiswa. Ubudlelwane phakathi kwabantu buya kuba noxolo, obunengqiqo nobobuhlobo. Nokuba kukuzingca, okanye ukuzingca, okanye ubuhlwempu… [abuyi] kuthintela ukusekwa kolungelelwano lokwenene lomntu, into elungileyo, yimpucuko entsha. —UPOPE PAUL VI, Urbi et Orbi Message, April 4th, 1971

Le yimfundiso kanye yabaSeki beCawa bokuqala: yokuba ubukumkani bukaThixo buya kulawula kude kuse eziphelweni zomhlaba, nangona kungekuko kuloo mfezeko ibekelwe iZulu kuphela, kodwa kuzalisekisa idinga likaKristu lokuba uya kuba nguye yedwa uMalusi Olungileyo. phezu kwezizwe zonke.

So, i intsikelelo kwaxelwa kwangaphambili ngokungathandabuzekiyo kubhekiselwa kuyo ixesha loBukumkani Bakhe... Abo babona uYohane, umfundi weNkosi, [basixelele] ukuba beva kuye ukuba iNkosi ifundisa kwaye ithetha ngalamaxesha ... —St. UIrenaeus waseLyon, uBawo weCawa (140- 202 AD); IiNdawo zokuHamba, UIrenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, Ootata beCawe, Ukupapashwa kweCIMA

Yi "intsikelelo" ^[4]cf. Ukudibana kunye neNtsikelelo oko kuya kwenzeka, njengoko kwenzekile kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje, ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele.

…Ndalikhumbula ke ilizwi leNkosi, okokuba ibithe, UYohane wabhaptiza ngamanzi, kodwa nina niya kubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.

… 'Ngexesha lokuphela' uMoya weNkosi uya kuzihlaziya iintliziyo zabantu, Ukukrola umthetho omtsha kuzo. Uya kubabutha abaxolelanise abantu abaziintsali abazahluleyo; Uza kuyiguqula indalo yokuqala, uThixo ke ahlale nabantu apho ngoxolo. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-715

Kodwa hleze soyiswe yimincili kwaye sihendelwe “kwiminyaka eyinkulungwane entsha,” oNgcwele uYohane usikhumbuza ukuba indalo ewileyo yomntu iya kuhlala imkhapha kude kube sekupheleni kwehlabathi: uxolo nomanyano oluzayo lolokwexeshana (bona iSityhi. 20-7). Kodwa kanye kanye oku kungenxa yokuba uxolo nomanyano lwezizwe luya kuba, ngokungathi kunjalo, itestamente yokugqibela kunye nobungqina kwihlabathi lokuba uYesu Krestu ukuphela komthombo wosindiso-ngaphambi koMgwebo wokugqibela. ^[5]cf. Izigwebo zokugqibela kunye nokuvutha kwezinto zonke. ^[6]cf. Ukuthethelelwa kobulumko

… Ezi ndaba zilungileyo zobukumkani ziya kushunyayelwa kwihlabathi liphela njengengqina kwiintlanga zonke, kwandule ke ukufika ukuphela. (Mat 24:14)

Ke bazalwana noodade, khangelani ngaphaya kwamafu alo mzuzu, ngaphaya kwezinto zexeshana nezidlulayo zeli hlabathi, kwicebo langoku nelikufuphi likaThixo elityhilwa ngoku, elizisa iBandla kwi...

... Ubungcwele “obutsha nobungcwele” anqwenela ngabo uMoya oyiNgcwele ukutyebisa amaKrestu ekuqalekeni kwewaka leminyaka lesithathu, ukuze enze uKristu abe yintliziyo yehlabathi. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, I-L'Osservatore Romano, Uhlelo lwesiNgesi, nge-9 kaJulayi, 1997
