INDLELA
Kukhona isisho esihle:
UNKULUNKULU UNGOKUQALA
UMAKHELWANE WAMAKHELWANE WAMI
NGINGWESITHATHU
Lo kwaba ngumkhuleko kaKristu eGetsemane, yize wakusho ngenye indlela:
… Hhayi intando yami kodwa eyakho mayenziwe. ((NgokukaLuka 22:42)
Ngalokho, uKristu welula isandla, wabeka i-Chalice of Love ezindebeni zaKhe, waqala ukuphuza iwayini le- ukuhlupheka-ukuhlupheka ngomakhelwane wakhe, ukuhlupheka ngenxa yakho, ngenxa yami, nangabo bonke labo bantu abakukhuhla ngendlela engafanele. Ingelosi, (mhlawumbe uMichael, noma uGabriyeli, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi uRaphael) yaphakamisa uJesu wama ngezinyawo zaKhe, futhi njengoba ngibhalile Ingxenye I, Uthando lwaqala ukunqoba umphefumulo munye ngasikhathi.
Ababhali bamaVangeli abakaze bakhulume ngayo, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi uKristu uzobheka emuva kwehlombe lakhe kimi nakimi, lapho ethwala isiphambano sakhe, ahlebe ngezindebe ezinegazi, "Ngilandele."
… Yena Wazidela, wathatha isimo senceku, wazalwa ngokufana nabantu. Futhi lapho etholakala esesimweni somuntu wazithoba futhi walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ekufeni esiphambanweni. (KwabaseFilipi 2: 7-8)
UKUNQOBA
Futhi ngakho-ke unengqondo enodaka, udidekile futhi awuqiniseki ngokuthi kufanele uye kuphi, wenzeni, uthini. Qalaza ngakuwe… uyayibona ingadi manje? Ngabe uyawabona ezinyaweni zakho amathonsi izithukuthuku negazi eliwe ebusweni bukaKristu? Futhi lapho — nakhu: i-Chalice efanayo okuyinto manje uKristu akumema ukuba uphuze kuyo. Yi-Chalice ka Love.
Lokho uKristu akufunayo kuwe manje kulula kakhulu. Isinyathelo esisodwa ngasikhathi, umphefumulo owodwa ngasikhathi: qala ukuthanda.
Yilo umyalo wami wokuba nithandane, njengalokho nginithandile. Uthando olukhulu alunamuntu kunalokhu, ukudela impilo yakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe. (Johane 15: 12-13)
Nezitha.
Thanda izitha zakho, wenze okuhle kulabo abakuzondayo, ubusise abakuqalekisayo, ukhulekele labo abakuphatha kabi. Ngoba uma nithanda labo abanithandayo, kunanzuzoni lokho kini? Nezoni ziyabathanda abazithandayo. Kodwa kunalokho, thanda izitha zakho futhi uzenzele okuhle. (Luka 6:28, 32-33)
Ukuba ngumKristu akuyona indaba yokulahla izingcaphuno zebhayibheli ngekhanda ezinyaweni zabahedeni. Kwesinye isikhathi, yebo, lokhu kuyadingeka. Kepha uJesu uchaze uthando ku
amagama aphawuleka kakhulu: "ukubeka phansi impilo yomuntu." Kungukusebenzela enye ngaphambi kwakho. Kungukubekezela nokuba nomusa. Kusho ukungalokothi ube nomona ngezibusiso zomunye, noma ukuziqhenya, ukuzikhukhumeza, noma ukudelela. Uthando alusoze lwaphikelela ngendlela yalo, futhi alunamagqubu noma luthukuthele, lubambe amagqubu noma lungaxoleli. Futhi uma uthando seluvuthiwe, lunokuthula, lunomusa, luyajabula, lulungile, luphana, luthembekile, lumnene, futhi luyazithiba.
Kakade, sengibona owami umuzwa okhombisa ukuhwaqabala e-Chalice. Maye, yeka indlela engisilele ngayo kuThando! Futhi nokho, uKristu usalungiselele indlela yokuthi sengeze kule Ndebe. Kusho uSt. Paul,
Manje ngiyathokoza ezinhluphekweni zami ngenxa yenu, futhi enyameni yami ngigcwalisa okusilelayo ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu egameni lomzimba wakhe, okuyiBandla… (KwabaseKolose 1:24)
Yini wena noma mina esingayengeza ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu? Uma singazange sisebenzele abanye, uma singagezanga izinyawo zomndeni, uma sehluleka ukubekezela, ukuba mnene, nokuba nesihe (uKristu akawile kathathu na?), Lapho-ke kufanele sengeze umhlatshelo okuwukuphela kwawo esingakwenza:
Umhlatshelo owamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu ungumoya owaphukileyo; O Nkulunkulu, inhliziyo ephukile nephukile, ngeke uyidelele. (IHubo 51:17)
Le ndlela yothando ingahanjwa kuphela ngomoya wokuthembela kanye nokuzinikela: ukwethemba othandweni nesihe sikaNkulunkulu kuwe uqobo, futhi ezinikele kuYe okubuthakathaka, okungafanelekile, nokwephukile. Uzikhipha, njengoba noKristu azithululela isinyathelo ngasinye seNdlela… kuze kube yilapho izithukuthuku zokuthobeka zehla ebusweni bakho, zigcwalise amehlo akho. Yilapho uqala ukuhamba ngokukholwa, hhayi ngokubona.
Ukunqoba okunqoba umhlaba ukukholwa kwethu. (1 Johane 5: 4)
Uzwa izixuku ezithukuthele, zibuke kancane ukwenqatshwa, futhi uzwe ukushaya okungajwayelekile kwegama elinonya… njengoba ukhonza, ukhonza, futhi ukhonza okunye.
Ukunqoba okunqoba umhlaba ukukholwa kwakho.
Uphucwe idumela, wathweswa umqhele wokuhlambalaza, futhi wabethelwa ngokungazwisisi, izithukuthuku ziphenduka igazi. Inkemba yobuthakathaka bakho ihlaba enhliziyweni yakho. Manje ukukholwa kuba mnyama, kumnyama njengethuna. Uyewezwa futhi la mazwi ekhala emphefumulweni wakho… "Yini ukusetshenziswa ...?"
Ukunqoba okunqoba umhlaba ukukholwa kwakho.
Yilapho okumele ubekezele khona. Ngoba noma ungahle ungakuboni, lokho okufe kuwe (ubugovu, ukuzicabangela wena, ukuthanda wena njll) kuyenzeka uvuko (umusa, ukuphana, ukuzithiba njll.). Futhi lapho uthande khona, utshale imbewu.
Siyazi ngeKhulu, isela, abesifazane abakhalayo abashukumiseleka ekuphendukeni ngothando lukaKristu. Kepha kuthiwani ngaleyo eminye imiphefumulo ehambisana ne- Nge-Dolorosa ababuyela ekhaya, bafafazwe ngegazi loThando, lezozimbewu ezingcwele ezazisakazeka ezinhliziyweni nasezingqondweni zabo? Ngabe bathelwa ngamanzi emasontweni kamuva nguMoya oNgcwele noPetru ngePhentekoste? Ngabe leyo miphefumulo phakathi kwabangu-3000 yasindiswa ngalolo suku?
UNGESABI!
Indlela igcwele imiphefumulo ezokwenqaba, ngisho nokuzonda wena. Ikwaya yamazwi ikhula kakhulu futhi ibanga kude, "Mbethele! Mbethele!" Kepha njengoba sishiya eyethu iGadi yaseGetsemane, asimuki no-Raphael oyiNgelosi enkulu ukuyoduduza, kepha sihamba nezindaba ezimnandi zikaGabriel ezindebeni zethu kanye nenkemba kaMichael yokuvikela imiphefumulo yethu. Sinezinyathelo eziqinisekile zikaKristu okufanele sihambe kuzo, isibonelo sabafel 'ukholo ukuze basiqinise, nemithandazo yabangcwele okufanele isikhuthaze.
Indima yakho kulelihora, njengoba ilanga lishona kule nkathi, akuyona eyokucasha, kepha ukusukela kuNdlela ngokuzethemba, isibindi, nothando olukhulu. Akukho okushintshile, ngoba nje kungenzeka ukuthi singena kwiPassion yeSonto lokugcina. Ukuvezwa okukhulu kothando lukaKristu kwakungekhona eNtshumayelweni yaseNtabeni, noma eNtabeni yokuguqulwa isimo, kepha kwakuseNtabeni iKalvari. Kanjalo futhi, ihora lokushunyayelwa kweSonto okukhulu kunakho konke lingase lingabi semagameni alo eMikhandlu noma iziqu zemfundiso ...
Uma igama lingaguqukanga, kuzoba yigazi eliguqukayo. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, ovela enkondlweni, "Stanislaw"
Ngoba umhlaba nawo ukhubazekile ngokwesaba, futhi kuwuthando lwakho-Uthando lukaKristu lusebenza ngawe- ezobabiza ithi: "Sukumani, thatha uhlaka lwakho, uye ekhaya" (UMk 2:11).
Futhi uzobheka ngaphezu kwehlombe lakho bese uhlebeza: "Ngilandele."
Uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba. (1 Johane 5:4)
Kusihlwa kwempilo,
sahlulelwa ngothando kuphela. —USt. UJohn weSiphambano
