Ulwandle LwaseGalile Ekuseni (isithombe sikaMark Mallett)

 

Ukuqhubeka nokuthola ukuthambeka kuwumqondo wokuthi kunezindlela eziningi eziya eZulwini nokuthi sonke ekugcineni sizofika lapho. Ngokudabukisayo, ngisho "namaKrestu" amaningi ayayisebenzisa le mithetho yenkohliso. Okudingekayo, kunanini ngaphambili, isimemezelo seVangeli esinesibindi, esinomusa futhi esinamandla igama likaJesu. Lokhu kungumsebenzi nelungelo ikakhulukazi le- Ibhubesi Lwethu Elimncane. Ngubani omunye okhona?

 

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoMashi 15, 2019.

 

LAPHO awekho amagama angachaza ngokwanele ukuthi kunjani ukuhamba ezinyathelweni ezingokoqobo zikaJesu. Kunjengokungathi uhambo lwami lokuya eZweni Elingcwele lwalungena endaweni yasenganekwaneni engangiyifunda ngayo yonke impilo yami… bese, ngokungazelelwe, ngaba lapho. Ngaphandle, UJesu akayona inganekwane.

Izikhathi eziningana zangithinta ngokujulile, njengokuvuka ngaphambi kokuntwela kokusa futhi ngithandaze buthule futhi ngedwa ngasolwandle lwaseGalile.

Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ngaphambi kokuntwela kokusa, wahamba waya endaweni eyihlane, lapho athandaza khona. (UMakho 1:35)

Omunye wayefunda iVangeli likaLuka esinagogeni lapho uJesu amemezela khona okokuqala:

UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwami, ngoba ingigcobile ukuletha izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu. Ungithume ukumemezela inkululeko kwabathunjiweyo nokubona emehlweni kwabangaboni, ukukhulula abacindezelweyo ukuba bakhululeke, nokumemezela unyaka owamukelekayo eNkosini. (Luka 4: 18-19)

Lokho bekuyisikhathi esichazayo. Ngizwe umuzwa omkhulu kakhulu isibindi ukugcwala ngaphakathi. I- manje izwi okuze kimi ukuthi iSonto kumele lisukume ngesibindi (futhi) lishumayele iVangeli elingaphikisiwe ngaphandle kokwesaba noma ukuyekethisa, ngenkathi noma ngaphandle. 

 

KUNGENZELANI KONKE?

Lokho kungilethe kokunye, okungasakhali kangako, kepha hhayi isikhathi sokugqugquzela. Enkulumweni yakhe, umpristi ohlala eJerusalema uthe, “Asidingi ukuguqula amaSulumane, amaJuda, noma abanye. Guqula wena bese uNkulunkulu uguqula bona. ” Ngahlala lapho ngimangele ekuqaleni. Ngemuva kwalokho amazwi kaSt Paul agcwala engqondweni yami:

Kepha bangabiza kanjani kuye abangakholwanga kuye? Futhi bangakholwa kanjani kuye abangazwanga ngaye na? Bangezwa kanjani kungekho oshumayelayo na? Futhi abantu bangashumayela kanjani ngaphandle kokuthi bathunyelwe? Njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: “Yeka ukuthi zinhle kanjani izinyawo zalabo abaletha izindaba ezinhle!” (Rom 10: 14-15)

Ngacabanga kimi, Uma singadingi “ukuguqula” abangakholwa, pho kungani uJesu ahlupheka futhi wafa? Wahambelani uJesu la mazwe uma kungenjalo ukubiza abalahlekile ukuthi baphenduke? Kungani iSonto likhona ngaphandle kokuqhubeka nomsebenzi kaJesu: ukuletha izindaba ezimnandi kwabampofu nokumemezela inkululeko kwabathunjiweyo? Yebo, ngithole leso sikhathi sishukumiseka ngendlela emangalisayo. “Cha Jesu, awufelanga ize! Awuzanga ukuzosithambisa kepha usisindise esonweni sethu! Nkosi, ngeke ngivumele ukuthunywa kwakho kufele kimi. Ngeke ngivumele ukuthula kwamanga kuthathe isikhundla sokuthula kweqiniso enize nakho! ”

UmBhalo uthi kunjalo “Ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa.” ^[1]I-Eph 2: 8 Kodwa ...

… Ukukholwa kuvela kokuzwwayo, futhi okuzwakalayo kuza ngezwi likaKristu. (KwabaseRoma 10:17)

AmaSulumane, amaJuda, amaHindu, amaBuddha, nazo zonke izinhlobo zabangewona amakholwa kudingeka zwa iVangeli likaKristu ukuze nabo, babe nethuba lokuthola isipho sokukholwa. Kepha kukhula i- kwezombusazwe zilungile umbono wokuthi sibizelwe nje "ukuhlala ngokuthula" kanye "nokubekezelelana," kanye nomqondo wokuthi ezinye izinkolo ziyizindlela ezilinganayo ezilinganayo eziya kuNkulunkulu ofanayo. Kepha lokhu kudukisa kakhulu. UJesu Kristu wembula ukuthi Unguye “Indlela, neqiniso, nokuphila” futhi lokho “Akekho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze” Yena. ^[2]John 14: 6 USt Paul wabhala ukuthi kufanele impela “Lwela ukuthula nabo bonke abantu,” kepha bese engeza ngokushesha: “Qaphelani ukuba kungabikho ophucwa umusa kaNkulunkulu.” ^[3]I-Heb 12: 14-15 Ukuthula kwenza izingxoxo; kodwa inkhulumomphendvulwano kumele kuholele ekushunyayelweni kwezindaba ezinhle.

ISonto liyazihlonipha futhi liyazazisa lezi zinkolo ezingezona ezobuKrestu ngoba ziyindlela yokuphila yomphefumulo yamaqembu amakhulu abantu. Baphethe ngaphakathi kubo isenkulungwane seminyaka sokufuna uNkulunkulu, ukufuna okungaphelele kepha okwenziwa ngobuqotho obukhulu nokulunga kwenhliziyo. Banokuthakazelisa ubukhosi bemibhalo yenkolo ejulile. Bafundise izizukulwane zabantu ukuthandaza. Zonke zikhuleliswe “ngembewu yeZwi” engenakubalwa futhi zingakha “ukulungiselelwa iVangeli,”… [Kepha] inhlonipho nokuhlonishwa kwalezi zinkolo nokuba yinkimbinkimbi kwemibuzo ephakanyisiwe akusimemo seBandla ukugodla kulaba abangewona amaKristu isimemezelo sikaJesu Kristu. Ngokuphambene nalokho iSonto lithi lezi zinkumbi zabantu zinelungelo lokwazi ingcebo yemfihlakalo kaKristu — ingcebo esikholelwa kuyo ukuthi sonke isintu singakuthola, ekugcwaleni okungalindelekile, konke ekufunayo ngokuphathelene noNkulunkulu, umuntu nesiphetho sakhe, impilo nokufa, neqiniso. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 53; v Vatican.va

Noma, mngane othandekayo, kunjalo 'ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu okudlula konke ukucabanga' (Phil 4: 7) ebekelwe thina maKristu kuphela? Ngukuphulukiswa okukhulu okuvela ukwazi futhi kokuzwa ukuthi lowo uxolelwe ku-Confession ehloselwe abambalwa nje? Ngabe iSinkwa Sokuphila esiduduzayo nesondlayo ngokomoya, noma amandla kaMoya oNgcwele wokukhulula nokuguqula, noma imiyalo nezimfundiso zikaKristu ezinikeza impilo siyazigcina kithi ukuze "singacasuli"? Uyabona ukuthi lolu hlobo lokucabanga ekugcineni lunobugovu kanjani? Abanye bane- kwesokudla ukuzwa iVangeli kusukela kuKristu “Uthanda ukuba wonke umuntu asindiswe futhi afinyelele olwazini lweqiniso.” ^[4]I-1 Timothy 2: 4

Bonke banelungelo lokuthola iVangeli. AmaKrestu anesibopho sokumemezela iVangeli ngaphandle kokukhipha noma ngubani. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. 15

 

Phakamisa, HHAYI IMPOSSE

Umuntu kufanele ahlukanise ngokucophelela phakathi ukumisela futhi ukuphakamisa iVangeli likaJesu Kristu — phakathi “kokuguqula abantu” Ukuqhathanisa “Ukushumayela.” Ku- Inothi Lemfundiso Kwezinye Izinkumbi Zokuvangela, iBandla Lemfundiso Yokholo lacacisa ukuthi igama elithi “ukuguqula abantu” alisasho nje “umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli.”

Muva nje… leli gama selibe nomqondo ongemuhle, lisho ukukhushulwa kwenkolo ngokusebenzisa izindlela, nangezinhloso, eziphikisana nomoya weVangeli; okungukuthi, engavikeli inkululeko nesithunzi somuntu. —Cf. umbhalo waphansi n. 49

Isibonelo, ukuguqula abantu kungabhekisa ekubuseni okwakwenziwa yizizwe ezithile ngisho nabefundisi abathile ababephoqa iVangeli kwamanye amasiko izizwe. Kodwa uJesu akazange aphoqe; Umeme kuphela. 

INkosi ayiguquli abantu; Unika uthando. Futhi lolu thando lukufuna futhi lulinde wena, okwamanje ongakholwa noma ukude. —UPAPA FRANCIS, u-Angelus, eSt. Peter's Square, ngoJanuwari 6, 2014; Izindaba ZamaKatolika Ezizimele

ISonto alihlanganyeli nokuguqula abantu. Esikhundleni salokho, uyakhula ngokukhanga… —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Obhekele Ukuvulwa Komhlangano Wesihlanu WaboMabhishobhi baseLatin America naseCaribbean, ngoMeyi 13, 2007; v Vatican.va

Ngokuqinisekile kungaba yiphutha ukuphoqa okuthile konembeza babafowethu. Kepha ukuphakamisa konembeza babo iqiniso leVangeli nokusindiswa okukuJesu Kristu, ngokucaca okuphelele nangokuhlonipha okuphelele izinketho zamahhala ezikulethayo… kude nokuhlaselwa kwenkululeko yezenkolo ngokuphelele ukuhlonipha leyo nkululeko… Kungani kufanele ngamanga nephutha kuphela, ukwehliswa kwezithombe zocansi kanye nezithombe zobulili ezingcolile zinelungelo lokubekwa phambi kwabantu futhi kaningi, ngeshwa, zibekwe kubo yinkulumo-ze ebhubhisayo yemidiya ...? Ukwethulwa okunenhlonipho ngoKristu nombuso waKhe kungaphezu kwelungelo lomvangeli; kungumsebenzi wakhe. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 80; v Vatican.va

Uhlangothi oluphambene nohlamvu lwemali luhlobo lokunganaki ngokwenkolo olwenza "ukuthula" kanye "nokuphila ndawonye" kuphelele kubo. Ngenkathi ukuhlala ngokuthula kuwusizo futhi kufiseleka, akwenzeki ngaso sonke isikhathi kumKristu onesibopho sakhe ukwenza kwaziwe indlela eya ensindisweni yaphakade. Njengoba uJesu asho, “Ningacabangi ukuthi ngizele ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni. Angizelanga ukuletha ukuthula kepha inkemba. ” ^[5]I-Matt 10: 34

Ngaphandle kwalokho, sikweleta isixuku sonke sabafel 'ukholo. 

… Akwanele ukuthi abantu abangamaKristu babekhona futhi bahleleke esizweni esinikeziwe, futhi akwanele ukwenza ubuphostoli ngesibonelo esihle. Bahlelelwe le njongo, bakhona kulokhu: ukumemezela uKristu kubantu abakanye nabo abangebona abaKrestu ngezwi nangesibonelo, nokubasiza ekwamukelweni ngokugcwele kukaKristu. - UMkhandlu Wesibili WaseVatican, Abezikhangiso, n. 15; v Vatican.va

 

IZWI KUFANELE LIBE KHETHA

Mhlawumbe uzwile ibinzana elikhangayo elashiwo uSt. Francis, "Shumayela iVangeli ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi, uma kunesidingo, sebenzisa amagama." Eqinisweni, abukho ubufakazi obubhalwe phansi bokuthi uSt.Francis wake washo into enjalo. Kodwa-ke, kunobufakazi obuningi bokuthi lawa magama asetshenziselwe ukuzithethelela ngokushumayela igama nomyalezo kaJesu Kristu. Impela, cishe noma ngubani uzokwamukela umusa wethu nomsebenzi, ukuzinikela kwethu nobulungiswa kwezenhlalo. Lokhu kuyadingeka futhi, empeleni, kusenza ofakazi abathembekile beVangeli. Kepha uma sishiya lapho, uma sinamahloni okuhlanganyela "isizathu sethemba lethu,"^[6]1 Peter 3: 15 bese sibaphuca abanye isigijimi esiguqula impilo esinaso — bese sibeka usindiso lwethu engcupheni.

… Ufakazi ongcono kunabo bonke uzobonakala engaphumeleli ekugcineni uma ungachazwa, ulungisiswe… futhi ucaciswe ngesimemezelo seNkosi uJesu esicacile futhi esingangabazeki. Izindaba Ezinhle ezimenyezelwa ngofakazi bokuphila kungekudala noma ngezithuba ezithile kufanele zishunyayelwe ngezwi lokuphila. Akukho kushunyayelwa kweqiniso uma igama, imfundiso, impilo, izithembiso, umbuso nemfihlakalo kaJesu waseNazaretha, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu kungamenyezelwa. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 22; v Vatican.va

Noma ngubani onamahloni ngami nangamazwi ami kulesi sizukulwane esingakholwayo nesinesono, iNdodana yomuntu iyoba namahloni ngayo lapho iza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye nezingelosi ezingcwele. (UMakho 8:38)

Uhambo lwami lokuya eZweni Elingcwele lwangenza ngabona ngokujule kakhudlwana ukuthi uJesu akezanga kanjani kulo mhlaba ukuzosishaya emhlane, kodwa ukusibiza futhi. Lokhu kwakungekhona ukuthunywa Kwakhe kuphela kodwa nomyalo owasinikeza thina, iBandla Lakhe:

Iya emhlabeni wonke umemezele ivangeli ku zonke isidalwa. Noma ngubani okholwayo futhi abhapathizwe uyosindiswa; ongakholwayo uzolahlwa. (Marku 15: 15-16)

Emhlabeni wonke! Kuyo yonke indalo! Kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba! —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 50; v Vatican.va

Le yikhomishini yawo wonke umKristu obhapathiziwe — hhayi abefundisi nje kuphela, abezenkolo, noma idlanzana labefundisi abavamile. “Kuwumsebenzi obalulekile weSonto.” ^[7]Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 14; i-Vatican.va Sonke sinomthwalo wokuletha ukukhanya neqiniso likaKristu kunoma yisiphi isimo esizithola sikuyo. Uma lokhu kusenza singakhululeki noma kuyisizathu sokwesaba nokujabha noma singazi ukuthi senzeni… ngakho-ke kufanele sinxuse uMoya oNgcwele lowo uSt.^[8]Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 75; v Vatican.va ukusinika isibindi nokuhlakanipha. Ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele, nabaPhostoli babengenamandla futhi besaba. Kepha ngemuva kwePhentekoste, abagcinanga nje ngokuya emaphethelweni omhlaba, kepha banikela nangempilo yabo kulokhu.

UJesu akazange athathe inyama yethu futhi ahambe phakathi kwethu ukuze asigone njengeqembu, kodwa ukusisindisa osizini lwesono nokuvula izinkalo ezintsha zenjabulo, ukuthula, nokuphila okuphakade. Ngabe uzoba ngomunye wamazwi ambalwa asele emhlabeni ukuhlanganyela lezi Zindaba Ezinhle?

Ngifisa ukuthi sonke, emva kwalezi zinsuku zomusa, sibe nesibindi—isibindi—Ukuhamba ebukhoneni beNkosi, neSiphambano seNkosi: ukwakha iBandla eGazini leNkosi, elichithwa esiphambanweni, nokwenza inkazimulo eyodwa, uKrestu obethelwe esiphambanweni. Ngale ndlela, iBandla lizoya phambili. —UPAPA UFRANCISI izindaba.va
