Ukuzincisha izinto eDolobheni

 

KANJANI singakwazi, njengamaKrestu, ukuhlala kulo mhlaba ngaphandle kokudliwa yiwo? Singahlala kanjani simsulwa ngenhliziyo esizukulwaneni esigxile ekungcoleni? Singaba kanjani ngcwele ngenkathi yokungabi ngcwele?

Ngonyaka odlule, kwakukhona amagama amabili aqinile enhliziyweni yami engifuna ukuqhubeka nokukhulisa. Esokuqala isimemo esivela kuJesu esithi “Woza nami siye ehlane"(Bheka Woza Nami). Igama lesibili lakhuliswa kulokhu: ukubizelwa ukufana no “Obaba base Ugwadule” —lawo madoda abaleka ezilingweni zomhlaba ayongena ehlane eliwugwadule ukuze avikele impilo yawo yokomoya (bheka Ihora Lokungabi Namthetho). Ukubalekela kwabo ehlane kwakha isisekelo se-Western monasticism kanye nendlela entsha yokuhlanganisa umsebenzi nomthandazo. Namuhla, ngikholelwa ukuthi labo "abahamba" noJesu ngalesi sikhathi bazobe sebakha izisekelo "zobungcwele obusha nobungcwele" enkathini ezayo. ^[1]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu. 

Enye indlela yokusho lesi simemo ukuthi “phuma eBabiloni“, Ngamandla obuchwepheshe, ukuzijabulisa okungenangqondo, nokuthenga abathengi okugcwalisa imiphefumulo yethu ngenjabulo yesikhashana, kodwa ekugcineni kubashiye bengenalutho futhi benelisekile.

Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, funa nihlanganyele ezonweni zayo, funa nihlanganyele ezinhluphekweni zayo; ngoba izono zalo seziqoqelwe phezulu njengezulu, loNkulunkulu ukhumbule ububi balo. (IsAm 18: 4-5)

Uma lokhu kuzwakala kukhungathekisa ngokushesha, funda ku. Ngoba lo msebenzi wokomoya ngokuyinhloko kuzoba owoMama Obusisiwe noMoya oNgcwele. Okudingekayo kithina “yebo” wethu, a fiat lapho siqala khona ukuzikhandla kwezinye izindlela ezilula zokuzincisha.

 

UKUBUYELA KWOKUPHEPHA

ukuhlukunyezwa | əˈsedəˌsizəm | - umzamo ongokomoya noma ukuzivocavoca ekuphishekeleni ubuhle ukuze ukhule ekupheleleni kobuKristu.

I-asceticism ingumqondo ongenangqondo emasikweni ethu, okondliwe emabeleni athambile okungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu nokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo. Ngoba uma konke esinakho kulapha manje, kungani umuntu angazithiba ngaphandle kokuthi, mhlawumbe, aphume ejele noma okungenani, azigcine ephishekela izinto zobugovu (bona Ongakholelwa KuNkulunkulu Omuhle)?

Kepha imfundiso yamaJudaeo-Christian inezambulo ezimbili ezibalulekile. Okokuqala ukuthi izinto ezidaliwe zithathwa njengezinhle nguMdali uqobo.

UNkulunkulu wabheka konke ayekwenzile, wakuthola kukuhle kakhulu. (UGenesise 1:31)

Okwesibili ukuthi lezi zimpahla zesikhashana akumele zibe onkulunkulu.

Ningazibekeli ingcebo emhlabeni, lapho inundu nokubola kubhubhisa khona, nalapho amasela egqekeza ebe. Kepha zibekeleleni ingcebo ezulwini… (Math 6: 19-20)

Lokhu kusho ukuthi umbono wobuKrestu wendalo, isithelo sezandla zomuntu, nomzimba wakhe nobulili ukuthi empeleni okuhle. Iminyaka engama-2000, nokho, ukuhlubuka ngemuva kokuhlubuka kuhlasele lobu buhle obuyisisekelo kangangoba nosanta abanjengo-Augustine noma uGregory Omkhulu kwesinye isikhathi babengcoliswa ngombono ofiphele ngobuhle bethu obubalulekile. Futhi lokhu-ke kuholele ekutheni kube nokunganaki okuyingozi emzimbeni noma imikhuba yokuzincisha okwakungahlukumezi ngokweqile kwesinye isikhathi. Ngempela, ekupheleni kwempilo yakhe, uSt. Francis wavuma ukuthi "wayelukhuni kakhulu embongolweni yomfowabo."

Ngakolunye uhlangothi kuyisilingo "sokuthamba", ekuphishekeleni njalo induduzo nenjabulo, ngaleyo ndlela ube yisigqila sezinkanuko zenyama futhi ube buthuntu kuMoya kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba njengoba uSt. Paul esikhumbuza:

Labo abaphila ngokuvumelana nenyama babeka izingqondo zabo ezintweni zenyama, kodwa labo abaphila ngokukaMoya babeka izingqondo zabo ezintweni zoMoya. Ukubeka imicabango yenyama kungukufa, kepha ukunaka uMoya kukuphila nokuthula. (Roma 8: 5-6)

Ngakho-ke, kukhona ukulinganisela okufanele sikuthole. UbuKristu abuyona nje “indlela yesiphambano” ngaphandle kovuko, noma ngendlela efanayo. Akusilo idili elihlanzekile ngaphandle kokuzila, noma ukuzila ngaphandle kokujabula. Empeleni ukubeka umuntu eMbusweni weZulu, ngaso sonke isikhathi kubeka uNkulunkulu nomakhelwane kuqala. Futhi kunjalo ekuzideleni lokhu kudinga ukuthi siqala ukuthola uMbuso weZulu. UJesu wathi:

Ngize ukuze babe nokuphila babe nakho ngokuchichimayo. (Johane 10:10)

Ungaqala ukuzwa iZulu manje lapho uzinikela kakhulu kuJesu. Ungaqala ukunambitha intokozo yePharadesi lapho uzinikela kakhulu kuwe. Ungaqala ukunambitha izithelo zoMbuso lapho umelana kakhulu nezilingo zenyama.

Uma umuntu ethanda ukungilandela, makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngoba noma ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe uzolahlekelwa yiyo, kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola. (Math 16: 24-25)

Okungukuthi, uvuko luza ngendlela yesiphambano — indlela ye ukuzincisha.

 

I-ASCETIC ESEDolobheni

Umbuzo uthi singaphila kanjani ngokwethembeka emphakathini wanamuhla ozungezwe yizimpahla eziningi kangaka, izingobe eziningi kangaka, intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe, ukunethezeka nenjabulo? Impendulo namuhla, kuleli hora, ngandlela thile ayifani kakhulu noFata baseGwadule ababalekela umhlaba ngokoqobo bangena emihumeni nasekusithekeni. Kepha umuntu ukwenza kanjani lokhu edolobheni? Umuntu ukwenza kanjani lokhu ngokwesimo somndeni, amakilabhu ebhola likanobhutshuzwayo, nasemsebenzini?

Mhlawumbe sidinga ukubuza umbuzo wokuthi uJesu wangena kanjani ezikhathini zamaRoma obuhedeni, edla nezifebe nabathelisi, kepha esahlala "engenasono." ^[2]isib. Heb 4: 15 Njengoba iNkosi yethu isho, kuyindaba “yenhliziyo” —lapho umuntu ebeka khona eyakhe amehlo.

Isibani somzimba iso. Uma iso lakho liphilile, umzimba wakho wonke uyakugcwala ukukhanya. (Math 6:22)

Futhi-ke, nazi izindlela eziyishumi ezilula lapho mina nawe singagxilisa khona amehlo ethu okomoya nawenyama, futhi sibe ngabazidlayo edolobheni.
