Woza Nami

A emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kwePhasika, ngaqala ukuzwa izwi elithambile nelingenakuvinjelwa enhliziyweni yami:

Hamba Nami siye ehlane.

Kukhona ukuphuthuma okuthambile kulesi simemo, njengokungathi “sekuyisikhathi” sokungena endaweni entsha yobuhlobo obuseduze neNkosi, uma kungeyona into engaphezulu...

 

IHLANE

“Ugwadule” ngokweBhayibheli, indawo lapho uNkulunkulu ethatha abantu Bakhe ukuba akhulume nabo, abacwenge, futhi abalungiselele isigaba esilandelayo sohambo lwabo. Izibonelo ezimbili ezifika ngokushesha engqondweni ama-Israyeli ohambo lweminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane eya e- Izwe Lesithembiso, kwase kulandela izinsuku ezingamashumi amane zikaJesu zokuba yedwa ezaziyisiqalo senkonzo Yakhe yasobala.

Kuma-Israyeli, ugwadule kwakuyindawo lapho uNkulunkulu asebenzelana khona nezithixo zabantu kanye nezinhliziyo eziguquguqukayo; kuJesu, kwaba ukujula okuqhubekayo kokuhlangana kwentando Yakhe yobuntu nobuNkulunkulu. Kithina manje, kuzoba njalo bobabili. Lokhu kukhuleka ogwadule yisikhathi lapho kufanele siphihlize unomphela noma yiziphi izithombe ezisele; yisikhathi sokuhlubula intando yethu yomuntu futhi sithathe Intando Yaphezulu. Njengoba uJesu asho ehlane:

Umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa nangawo wonke amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu. (Math 4: 4)

Ngakho-ke iNkosi, ibona ukuthi thina, uMlobokazi waYo, sesizihlobisile ngobuzwe, ifuna ukusihlubula ekuyekeleni okungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu futhi isigqokise futhi ngobulula nobumsulwa osekuyisiqalo “senkathi yokuthula”.

…wahloba ngezindandatho zakhe nobucwebe bakhe, walandela izithandwa zakhe—kodwa mina ungikhohliwe… Ngakho-ke, ngizomyenga manje; Ngizomholela ehlane futhi ngikhulume naye ngendlela ethonyayo. Ngizamnika izivini ayenazo, lesigodi sase-Akori sibe ngumnyango wethemba. ( Hoseya 2:15-17 )

The isigodi sase-Akori lisho “isigodi senkathazo.” Yebo, uMalusi Omuhle uhola abantu Bakhe esigodini sethunzi lokufa ukuze alethe ekufeni lokho okungekona okwaKhe. Kuyindawo futhi lapho izimvu zifunda khona ukuzwa izwi Lakhe futhi zifunde ngokuphelele ukwethemba kuMelusi Omuhle. Futhi ngenxa yalesisizathu, isitha semiphefumulo yethu siza kuMlobokazi kaKristu ne torrent yokulingwa ukuze amyekise futhi amdikibalise, amgcine ehlane. Ngoba lapho, udrako uyazi ukuthi uzophepha…

… Owesifazane wanikezwa amaphiko amabili okhozi olukhulu, ukuze akwazi ukundiza aye endaweni yakhe ehlane, lapho, kude nenyoka, anakekelwa khona unyaka, iminyaka emibili, nohhafu. (IsAm 12:14)

 

IMPI NGAPHAMBI KOGWAZI

Ngaphambi kokuba ama-Israyeli angene ogwadule, abhekana nomzuzwana wokuphelelwa ithemba okukhulu: Amabutho kaFaro abaxosha kangangokuthi ayesehlehla oLwandle Olubomvu engasenandawo. Abaningi baphelelwe ithemba… njengoba nje abaningi benu bengase bazizwe belingeka ukuba baphelelwe ithemba namuhla. Kodwa manje ihora lika ukholo. Uyamuzwa uJesu ekubiza?

Hamba Nami siye ehlane.

Futhi ungase uthi, “Yebo, Nkosi, kodwa ngihlaselwa nhlangothi zonke. Angiboni lutho ngaphandle kwebutho lezilingo emhlane wami, futhi akukho lapho ngingaya khona phambi kwami. Ukuphi Nkosi? Ungilahleleni na?” Ukuthi lokhu kuvezwa kanjani kuzohluka phakathi kwabafundi. Kwabanye benu, kuzoba yizinkinga zempilo, ezinye zezimali, ezinye eziphathelene nobudlelwano, kanti abanye bazozabalaza nokulutheka, njll. Kodwa impendulo kufanele ifane kithi sonke, ifingqwe ngamagama amahlanu:

Jesu, ngithemba wena.

Empeleni kuyisiqondiso uMose asinika abantu lapho bekhala ngokuphelelwa yithemba:

Ungesabi! Yimani niqine nibone ukunqoba uJehova anizuzele khona namuhla… UJehova uyakunilwela; kufanele uthule nje. ( Eksodusi 14:13-14 )

Nokho, siyazi ukuthi kwenzekani ngokulandelayo: UNkulunkulu wahlukanisa uLwandle Olubomvu, futhi ngokungenakwenzeka, uNkulunkulu wenza ukuba kwenzeke. Kanjalo futhi, siyavivinywa ngalo mzuzu. Ingabe sizothembela noma sibaleke "sibuyele eGibhithe", sibuyele endaweni yakudala yokunethezeka, izidakamizwa ezindala kanye Isilingo sokuba Normal? Kodwa nakhu okushiwo umBhalo “ngeGibhithe”, ngeBabiloni elisha elisihaqile njengebutho:

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)

UNkulunkulu uzokwehlulela iBabiloni, futhi kanjalo uncenga uMlobokazi waKhe ukuba alishiye ngokushesha. Ngakho-ke, inyoka imi emasangweni aseBhabhiloni ukuze ikuvimbele ukuba ungangeni ogwadule ngezindlela ezintathu:

 

I. Ukuphazamiseka

Iziphazamiso eziyinkulungwane. Uma uzizwa uhlaselwa ukuphazamiseka ngemva kokuphazamiseka, lokhu kuwuphawu oluqinisekile lokuthi isitha sizama ukukuvimbela kokuzwa izwi likaMalusi Omuhle limemeza...

Hamba Nami siye ehlane.

Angikaze mina mathupha ngizizwe ngihlaselwa njalo umphefumulo wami njengoba ngiye ngenza ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, kuze kube yilapho ukubhala ngezinye izikhathi kungenzeki. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iNkosi ingifundise lokho lapho ngi “funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu”, Uhlala ehlukanisa ulwandle lokuphazamiseka ngokwanele ukuze angisize ngithole indlela yami yokubalekela kwenhliziyo Yakhe. ngiyafuna kuqala Umbuso Wakhe ngezindlela ezimbili: ngokuqala usuku lwami ngomthandazo, bese ngenza umsebenzi wamanje ngokuzimisela nangothando (bheka Indlela Yasehlane). Uma ngehluleka kukho kokubili kwalokhu, izifufula zokuphazamiseka ziyangikhungathekisa.

Ngakho futhi yisikhathi sokwenza izinqumo ezinzima. Siphila ehoreni lapho umuntu engangena kalula ekuphileni okungenampilo, echitha ihora nehora ekuzijabuliseni okungasho lutho kusukela ekuhambeni ngomkhumbi ku-“Facebook”, ukuya ekudlaleni imidlalo yevidiyo, ukubuka i-YouTube, ikhebula lokuntweza, njll. Ubizo oluya ogwadule luwucingo oluya ukuhlukumezeka. Mayelana nalokhu, ngifuna ukwethula kubhulogi yendodakazi yami uDenise (umbhali we Isihlahla). Wabhala ukuzindla okufushane okuhle okubizwa ngokuthi ukuzila ukudla Ayenzelwe Itiye.

 

II. Ukudideka

Njengoba amabutho kaFaro evala, kwaba nokudideka nokwesaba okukhulu. Abantu baphendukela kuMose, baphendukela kuJehova.

Ngemva kokuba uPapa uBenedict esula esikhundleni, ngikhumbula isixwayiso esasikhala enhliziyweni yami amasonto ambalwa esasithi zazizongena ezikhathini eziyingozi nezididayo.

Futhi sesilapha.

Sibona amabutho ebandla lamanga ebuthana ngesibindi nokuzimisela. Phakathi nalokhu, uPapa Francis—kunokuba acaphune umthetho futhi avale iminyango emelene nabahlubuki—njengoMose, uye wahola “isitha” waze wafika emnyango wethu. Lokhu ukwenze ngokuphindaphinda “ihlazo” elifanayo lokuziphatha kukaKristu naye owamema abathelisi nezifebe ukuba bazodla Naye. Futhi lokhu kudale ukudideka kulabo abafisa ukubeka umthetho kuqala ngaphambi kothando, asebedale idolobha elibiyelwe ngezindonga lokunethezeka ngemuva kwamacanons namakhathekizimu.

Sisenesidingo esikhulu sokuthandazela ababhishobhi bethu kanye noPapa. Kunezingibe eziningi eziyingozi ezingaphambili ngqo, njengokuphusha kwe-elite ukulawula inani labantu nge i-ajenda yemibono “yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu”. Nokho, ukudideka kuzohwamuka lapho siqaphela ukuthi nguJesu, hhayi uPapa Francis, owakha iBandla Lakhe. Okuzayo kuyofika, ngakho-ke kuvunyelwe yiNkosi. Kodwa kufanele ‘sihlakaniphe njengezinyoka’ ukuze siqaphele ukuthi lokhu kudideka kumane kuyisu lokuletha okwengeziwe. ukuhlukana.

 

III. Ukwehlukana

Abantu namuhla benza futhi basabela ngenxa yokwesaba. Ngakho kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuwukungalondeki ngokwezimali, okungokomzwelo noma okungokomoya, bathethisa abanye. Lokhu kuzokwanda njengoba umhlaba ubhebhetheka ezinsukwini nezinyanga ezizayo. Ama-Israyeli agqilazwe ngonya yiGibhithe, kodwa nokho, bheka ukuthi bathini lapho uvalo luqala:

Asikutshelanga yini lokhu eGibithe, lapho sithi: ‘Siyeke, sikhonze abaseGibithe,’ na? Kungcono kakhulu kithi ukukhonza abaseGibhithe kunokuba sifele ehlane. ( Eksodusi 14:12 )

Babefuna ukubuyela ekuthotshisweni okudabukisayo kunokuthembela eNkosini! Kuzokwenzekani lapho izibhelu zaseBaltimore seziphenduke izibhelu zaseNyakatho Melika ngoba kungazelelwe abantu abazi ukuthi ukudla kwabo okulandelayo kuzovelaphi? Ngempela, lokhu kube ngenye yezindlela izixwayiso engiye nganikeza lapha phakathi neminyaka edlule: ukuthi siye “sahlelwa” ngenxa yesiphithiphithi ukuze, njengama-Israyeli, sijabule kakhulu ukuba yizigqila zesimiso esondlayo nesivikelayo kunokuba sibe yizigqila. khulula. ^[2]qhathanisa Ukukhohlisa Okukhulu - Ingxenye II Sesikubonile lokhu kaningi emazweni amakhomanisi kanye nenhlalakahle njengeRussia, North Korea, kanye neVenezuela lapho abantu babebona ondlovukayiphikiswa babo “njengoyise”, bekhala futhi bekhala lapho abathumbi babo ababevame unya befa.

Hhayi-ke, "amaphutha aseRussia" asabalele emhlabeni wonke ekhuthaza futhi egqugquzela lokho manje Ukuvukelwa Komhlaba.

Le nguquko yesimanjemanje, kungathiwa iqhume noma isongela yonke indawo, futhi idlula ngobukhulu nangobudlova noma yini esake yabhekana nokushushiswa okwedlule okwethulwe ngokumelene neSonto. Abantu abaphelele bazithola besengozini yokubuyela ebugebengwini obubi kunalobo obabucindezela ingxenye enkulu yomhlaba ekufikeni koMhlengi. —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Divini Redemptoris, Encyclical on Atheistic Communism, n. 2; v Vatican.va

Lokhu Inguquko enkulu nguSiphepho ^[3]qhathanisa IziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa zeRevolution Mina nabanye besilokhu sixwayisa—ikakhulukazi, uBenedict XVI:

… Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa kwesisa senhliziyo ngeqiniso, lo mbuso womhlaba wonke ungadala umonakalo ongakaze ubonwe futhi udale ukwahlukana okusha emndenini wesintu… isintu sinezingozi ezintsha zokugqilazwa nokukhohliswa. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, AmaCaritas eVikisa, n. 33, 26

Ungavumeli lesi silingo sokuphendukela umakhelwane wakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yilomakhelwane noma ohlala eVatican. Kunalokho, thulisa umphefumulo wakho futhi phumani eBhabhiloni, niye ehlane, ngoba iNkosi ifisa “ukukhuluma ngendlela ekholisayo” enhliziyweni yakho.

Uma indlela ingakacaci, uma indlela eya phambili ingaqiniseki, uma uzizwa uhlaselwa ukungabaza, ukudideka, nokwehlukana, khona-ke kalula nje. linda—lindani uMalusi Omuhle afike anihole.

Ungesabi! Yimani niqine nibone ukunqoba uJehova anizuzele khona namuhla… UJehova uyakunilwela; kufanele uthule nje. ( Eksodusi 14:13-14 )

Thula ukuze uzwe izwi Lakhe...

Isithandwa sami siyakhuluma, sithi kimi: “Vuka, mngane wami, muhlekazi wami, uze!... isikhathi sokuthena imivini sesifikile. (IsiHlabelelo seziHlabelelo, 2:10, 11)
