Kukhona iqiniso elilodwa elibi ebuKristwini
ukuthi esikhathini sethu,
ngisho nangaphezu kwamakhulu eminyaka adlule,
kuvusa ukwesaba okungenakunyakaziswa enhliziyweni yomuntu.
Lelo qiniso limayelana nezinhlungu zaphakade zesihogo.
Ngokubhekisela nje kule mfundiso,
izingqondo ziyakhathazeka,
izinhliziyo ziyaqina futhi ziyathuthumela,
izinkanuko ziyaqina futhi zivuvuke
ngokumelene nemfundiso
kanye namazwi angamukeleki amemezela lokho.
—Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje
kanye Nezimfihlakalo Zokuphila Kwesikhathi Esizayo,
nguFr. Charles Arminjon, ikhasi 173; iSophia Institute Press
TLawa ngamazwi kaFr. Charles Arminjon, abhalwa ngekhulu le-19. Asebenza kakhulu kangakanani ekuzweleni kwamadoda nabesifazane ngekhulu lama-21! Ngoba akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuxoxisana ngesihogo akuvunyelwe ukuba kube yinto efanele kwezepolitiki, noma ebhekwa njengekhohlisayo ngabanye, kodwa ngisho nabanye abefundisi nabefundisi baphethe ngokuthi uNkulunkulu onesihe akanakuvumela ukuhlushwa okunjalo kuze kube phakade.
Lokho kuyishwa ngoba akulishintshi iqiniso lokuthi isihogo singokoqobo.
Kuyini isihogo?
Izulu lingukugcwaliseka kwazo zonke izifiso zomuntu eziyiqiniso, ezingafingqwa ngokuthi isifiso sothando. Kepha umqondo wethu wobuntu wokuthi ubukeka kanjani, nokuthi uMdali uluveza kanjani lolo thando ebuhleni bePharadesi, awufinyeleli kulokho iZulu elikufana nentuthwane lapho ingakwazi ukufinyelela phezulu ithinte umphetho wendawo yonke. .
Isihogo ukuphucwa iZulu, noma-ke, ukuncishwa kukaNkulunkulu okukhona ngaye konke ukuphila.
Kungukulahleka kobukhona Bakhe, umusa waKhe, umusa waKhe. Yindawo lapho izingelosi eziwile zafakwa khona, futhi ngemuva kwalokho, lapho imiphefumulo ngokufanayo iya khona enqaba ukuphila ngokuvumelana no umthetho wothando emhlabeni. Kuyisinqumo sabo. Ngoba uJesu wathi,
Uma ningithanda, nizogcina imiyalo yami… “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lokho eningakwenzelanga omunye walaba abancane, anikwenzanga kimi.” Futhi laba bayakuya ekujezisweni okuphakade, kodwa abalungileyo baya ekuphileni okuphakade. (Johane 14:15; Mathewu 25:45-46)
Isihogo, ngokusho koFata beSonto nodokotela abaningana, kukholakala ukuthi sisenkabeni yomhlaba, [1]isib. ULuka 8:31; Rom 10: 7; IsAm 20: 3 noma kunjalo iMagisterium ayikaze yenze isimemezelo esicacile maqondana nalokhu.
UJesu akazange azibalekele ukukhuluma ngesihogo, iSt. John esichaze njengo “Ichibi lomlilo nesibabule.” [2]isib. IsAm 20:10 Engxoxweni yakhe ngesilingo, uJesu waxwayisa ngokuthi kungcono ukusika izandla kunesono — noma uholele “abancane” esonweni — kunokuba ube nezandla ezimbili “Ngena eGehena emlilweni ongacimi… lapho 'impethu yabo ingafi, nomlilo ungacimi.'” [3]isib. Marku 9: 42-48
Ukudweba kusuka emakhulwini eminyaka wezinto eziyimfihlakalo neziseduze nokufa kwabangewona amakholwa nabangcwele ngokufanayo abakhonjiswa isikhashana isihogo, izincazelo zikaJesu kwakungezona ezehaba noma i-hypebole: isihogo yilokho athi siyikho. Kungukufa okuphakade, nayo yonke imiphumela yokungabikho kwempilo.
Ingqondo Yesihogo
Empeleni, uma isihogo singekho-ke ubuKrestu buyinkohliso, ukufa kukaJesu kwaba yize, umyalo wokuziphatha ulahlekelwa isisekelo sawo, futhi ubuhle noma ububi, ekugcineni, kwenza umehluko omncane. Ngoba uma umuntu ephila impilo yakhe manje ethambekela ebubini nasebubni bobugovu futhi omunye aphile impilo yakhe ngobuhle nokuzidela — kepha bobabili bagcine ngokuthokoza kwaphakade — pho yini inhloso yokuba khona "okuhle", ngaphandle kokuthi mhlawumbe ukugwema ijele noma okunye ukungakhululeki? Ngisho namanje, kumuntu wenyama okholelwa esihogweni, amalangabi esilingo amhlula kalula ngomzuzu wesifiso esinamandla. Ubenganqotshwa kangakanani uma azi ukuthi, ekugcineni, uzohlanganyela enjabulweni efanayo nekaFrancis, Augustine, noFaustina noma ngabe uyazitika noma cha?
Liyini iphuzu loMsindisi, ikakhulu lowo owehlise isithunzi sakhe kumuntu futhi wahlupheka kabuhlungu kakhulu, uma ekugcineni
konke kulondoloziwe? Iyini injongo eyisisekelo yokuhleleka kokuziphatha uma amaNeros, uStalins noHitler bomlando nokho bezothola imivuzo efanayo naleyo kaMama Teresas, uThomas Moores, kanye nabangcwele abangamaFranciscans bakudala? Uma umvuzo wabahahayo ufana nowabantu abangenabugovu, khona-ke empeleni, manje uma injabulo yePharadesi, okungenani, ibambezelekile kancane ohlelweni lwaphakade?
Cha, iZulu elinjalo alinabulungisa, kusho uPapa Benedict:
Umusa awususi ubulungiswa. Akukwenzi okungalungile kube okulungile. Akusona isiponji esisula yonke into, ukuze noma yini umuntu ayenzile emhlabeni igcine inenani elilinganayo. UDostoevsky, ngokwesibonelo, wayeqinisile ngokubhikisha ngalolu hlobo lweZulu nalolu hlobo lomusa kwinoveli yakhe Abafowethu Karamazov. Abenzi bokubi, ekugcineni, abahlali etafuleni edilini laphakade eceleni kwezisulu zabo ngaphandle kokwehlukanisa, sengathi akwenzekanga lutho. -Khuluma uSalvi, n. 44, v Vatican.va
Ngaphandle kwemibhikisho yalabo abacabanga umhlaba ongenamkhawulo, ulwazi lokuba khona kwesihogo lushukumisele amadoda amaningi ekuphendukeni kunezintshumayelo eziningi ezinhle. Umcabango nje we okuphakade Umgodi wosizi nokuhlupheka kwanele ukuthi abanye baphike ubumnandi behora esikhundleni sobuhlungu baphakade. Isihogo sikhona njengomfundisi wokugcina, uphawu lokugcina lokusindisa izoni ekujuleni okwethusayo okuvela kuMdali wazo. Njengoba yonke imiphefumulo yomuntu ingunaphakade, lapho sishiya leli bhanoyi lasemhlabeni, siphila ngokuqhubekayo. Kepha kulapha lapho kufanele sikhethe ukuthi sizohlala kuphi kuze kube phakade.
Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala abantu futhi wabenza baba ngaphansi kokuzikhethela kwabo siqu. Uma ukhetha, ungagcina imiyalo; ukwethembeka kuwukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu. Beka phambi kwakho umlilo namanzi; noma yini oyikhethayo yelula isandla sakho. Ngaphambi kokuba wonke umuntu abe nokuphila nokufa, noma yikuphi abakhethayo bayonikwa kona. (Funda uSirayi 15:14-17.)
Ivangeli Lokuphenduka
Umsebenzi weqiniso weSonto ukushumayela ivangeli. Ukusindisa imiphefumulo. Ekugcineni, ukuyisindisa ekujezisweni kwaphakade.
ISonto lithole iVangeli njengesimemezelo nomthombo wenjabulo nensindiso… Lizalwa yilo msebenzi wokushumayela ivangeli, iSonto lizwa nsuku zonke amazwi esixwayiso sikaSanta Paul: “Maye kimi uma ngingalishumayeli iVangeli!” (1 Kor 9:16). Njengoba uPawulu VI abhala, “ukushumayela ivangeli kuyisibusiso kanye nobizo olufanele iSonto, ubunjalo balo obujulile. Likhona ukuze lishumayele ivangeli.” -I-Evangelium Vitae, hhayi. 78
Uma ufisa ukwazi ukuthi sinzima kangakanani isono, bheka isiphambano. Bheka umzimba kaJesu owophayo nowaphukile ukuze uqonde okushiwo yimiBhalo:
Kodwa-ke, nithole nzuzoni ngalokho eninamahloni ngakho manje? Ngoba isiphetho salezo zinto ukufa. Kodwa manje njengoba senikhululiwe esonweni futhi seniyizigqila zikaNkulunkulu, inzuzo eninayo iholela ekungcwelisweni, futhi isiphetho saso ukuphila okuphakade. Ngoba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kodwa isipho sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. ( Roma 6:21-23 )
UJesu wathatha inkokhelo yesono. Wayikhokhela ngokugcwele. Wehlela kwabafileyo, waphula izibopho ezazivala iminyango yePharadesi, wavula indlela eya ekuphileni okuphakade kubo bonke ababeka ithemba labo kuYe, nakho konke akucelayo kithi.
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. (UJohn 3: 16)
Kepha kulabo abafunda la mazwi kepha nokho banganaki ukuphela kwalesi sahluko, abagcini nje ngokuhlukumeza imiphefumulo, kepha bazibeka engcupheni yokuba yisithiyo esivimbela abanye ukungena ekuphileni okuphakade:
Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; kepha ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. (UJohn 3: 36)
“Ulaka” lukaNkulunkulu luwubulungisa baKhe. Okusho ukuthi, inkokhelo yesono ihlala kulabo abangasitholi isipho samahhala uJesu abapha sona, isipho sesihe saKhe esisusa izono zethu ukuthethelelwa-Okusho ukuthi-ke sizomlandela ngokulandela imithetho yemvelo neyokuziphatha esifundisa ukuthi siphile kanjani. Inhloso kaBaba ukudweba wonke umuntu ngamunye ekuhlanganyeleni Naye. Akunakwenzeka ukuba sebunyeni noNkulunkulu, oluthando, uma senqaba ukuthanda.
Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; lokhu akuveli kini; kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; akuveli emisebenzini, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo. Ngokuba singumsebenzi wezandla zakhe, sidalelwe imisebenzi emihle uNkulunkulu ayilungiselele kusengaphambili, ukuze siphile kuyo. (Efe 2: 8-9)
Uma kukhulunywa ngokuvangela-ke, umyalezo wethu uhlala ungaphelele uma singakunaki ukuxwayisa isoni ukuthi isihogo sikhona njengenketho esiyenzayo ngokuphikelela esonweni esingathi sína kunokuthi senze "imisebenzi emihle." Izwe likaNkulunkulu. Kungumyalo Wakhe. Futhi sonke sizokwahlulelwa ngolunye usuku ngokuthi ngabe sikhethe ukungena emyalweni waKhe noma cha (futhi oh, uhambe kangakanani kuwo wonke amandla ukubuyisela ukuhleleka kokuphila kukaMoya ngaphakathi kwethu!).
Inhliziyo Yevangeli
Kodwa-ke, ukugcizelelwa kweVangeli akulona usongo, kepha isimemo. Njengoba uJesu asho, "UNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo." [4]isib. Johane 3:17 Umndeni wokuqala kaSt. Peter ngemuva kwePhentekoste ukuveza kahle lokhu:
Ngakho-ke phendukani, nibuye, ukuze izono zenu zisulwe, ukuze kufike izikhathi zokuqabuleka zivela ebusweni beNkosi… (Izenzo 3: 19)
Isihogo sifana neshede elimnyama elinenja enolaka ngemuva kweminyango yalo, elungele ukubhubhisa, ukwesabisa, nokushwabadela noma ubani ongena. Ngeke kube yisihawu ukuvumela abanye bazulazule kulo ngoba besaba “ukubacasula”.
Kodwa umyalezo wethu oyinhloko njengamaKristu awusikho okukhona lapho, kodwa ngale kweminyango yensimu yaseZulwini lapho uNkulunkulu esilindele khona. “Uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, ukufa akusayikuba-khona, nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba-khona.” [5]isib. 21: 4
Futhi-ke, nathi siyehluleka ukufakaza kwethu uma sidlulisela kwabanye ukuthi iZulu “bese”, sengathi aliqali manje. Ngoba uJesu wathi:
Phendukani, ngokuba umbuso wezulu useduze... Ngize ukuze babe nokuphila, babe nakho kuchichime. (Mathewu 4:17, Johane 10:10)
Ukuphila okuphakade kungaqala enhliziyweni yomuntu lapha namanje — njengoba nje ukufa okuphakade, nazo zonke “izithelo” zako, kuqala manje kulabo abazitika ngezithembiso ezingenalutho kanye nobuhle obungenalutho besono. Sinezigidi zobufakazi ezivela kubantu abayimilutha yezidakamizwa, izifebe, ababulali, kanye nabantu abavamile njengami abangafakazela ukuthi iNkosi iyaphila, amandla aYo angokoqobo, izwi layo liyiqiniso. Futhi injabulo yaYo, ukuthula, kanye nenkululeko ilindele bonke labo ababeka ukholo lwaYo namuhla, ngoba…
...manje yisikhathi esihle kakhulu; bheka, manje usuku lwensindiso. (2 Kor. 2:6)
Impela, okuzoqinisekisa abanye ubuqiniso bomlayezo weVangeli kulapho “benambitha futhi bebona” uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kuwe…
Ngakho ngibonga kakhulu ngemithandazo yakho nokusekela kwakho.
