TWO izinto zenzeka ngemuva kwePhentekoste ngenkathi abaPhostoli beqala ukumemezela iVangeli ngegama likaJesu Kristu. Imiphefumulo yaqala ukuguqulela ebuKristwini izinkulungwane. Okwesibili ukuthi igama likaJesu lavuselela ukuvuselelwa Ukushushiswa, ngalesi sikhathi somzimba Wakhe oyimfihlakalo.
UMQEQESHI OMKHULU
Abalandeli bakaKristu baba nomthelela omncane emhlabeni — kwaze kwaba yiPhentekoste. Yilapho baqala khona ukushumayela ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
UMoya oNgcwele ungummeli ophambili wobuvangeli: nguyena ophoqa umuntu ngamunye ukuthi amemezele iVangeli, futhi nguyena ekujuleni konembeza owenza ukuba izwi losindiso lamukelwe futhi liqondwe. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, e-Ecclesia e-Afrika, n. 21; UYaoundé, eCameroon, ngoSepthemba 14, 1995, Idili Lokunqoba Kwesiphambano.
Kuyaqondakala… kepha nokho kungaliwa.
Ukuze [iVangeli] lingasabalali liqhubeke phakathi kwabantu, masibanikeze isexwayiso esiqinile sokuthi bangaphinde bakhulume nanoma ngubani egameni laKhe. (IzEnzo 4:17)
Ukushumayela ngegama likaJesu ukushumayela iqiniso UJesu wembula. Ngamandla aleli qiniso adonsela ukushushiswa:
[Umhlaba] uyangizonda, ngoba ngiyafakaza kuwo ukuthi imisebenzi yawo mibi. (Johane 7: 7)
Iqiniso laqubula ukungqubuzana nomoya wezwe, okwaholela ekubhujisweni kwethempeli ngo-70 AD, nasekushushisweni okukhulu kweSonto elisanda kuzalwa. Iqiniso yinkemba enkulu ehlukanisayo, engena ngisho phakathi komphefumulo nomoya, amalunga nomnkantsha, ekwaziyo ukubona ukubonakaliswa nemicabango yenhliziyo (Heb 4:12). Uma yamukelwa, iyakhulula; uma yenqatshwa, iyathukuthela.
Sikunikeze imiyalo eqinile (akunjalo?) Ukuba uyeke ukufundisa ngalelo gama. Nokho senigcwalise iJerusalema ngemfundiso yenu futhi nifuna ukuletha igazi lalo muntu phezu kwethu. (Imisebenti 5:28)
Iphinikhodi YOKUPHIKISWA OKUZAYO
NgoDisemba ka-2006, ngabhala ku Ushushiso! (I-Morun Tsunami) ukuthi ingqophamlando yokukhohlisa ezikhathini zethu kube ukuchazwa okwamukelekayo kobulili:
… Ukuncibilika kwesithombe somuntu, kube nemiphumela emibi kakhulu. —May, 14, 2005, eRoma; UKhadinali Ratzinger enkulumweni ngobunikazi baseYurophu.
MUkwamukelwa ngokomthetho kwendlela yokuphila yobungqingili ingaba yindawo enkulu yempi ezokhipha ukushushiswa okunzima kwamaKrestu. Lokhu kuchazwa kabusha kwe- ukuthi singobani njengabantu Kubonakala kuwukunqoba okukhulu kukaSathane, ngoba empeleni uzama ukuchaza kabusha UNkulunkulu uqobo esidalwe ngomfanekiso wakhe.
Lokhu kungabonakala kungukuvumelana okubonwe ngaphambili yimfihlakalo engcwele ebeka uqhekeko eSontweni:
Ngaba nomunye umbono wosizi olukhulu… Kubonakala kimi ukuthi kwakufunwa imvume kubefundisi ababengeke bayinikwe. Ngabona abapristi abaningi asebekhulile, ikakhulukazi oyedwa, ababekhala kamunyu. Abambalwa abasebasha nabo babekhala… Kwakungathi abantu bahlukana ngamakamu amabili. —Ubusisiwe u-Anne Catherine Emmerich, Impilo Nezambulo zika-Anne Catherine Emmerich
Esenzakalweni esivunywa nguPapa Benedict uqobo ngo-1988 (ngaleso sikhathi owayenguKhadinali Ratzinger), uMama wethu Obusisiwe waxwayisa ngalokhu futhi:
Umsebenzi kasathane uzongena ungene eSontweni ngendlela yokuthi umuntu abone amakhadinali aphikisana nokhadinali, ababhishobhi abamele ababhishobhi. Abapristi abangikhonzayo bazodelelwa futhi baphikiswe ngemihlangano yabo… amasonto nama-altare [azoxoshwa]; iSonto lizogcwala labo abamukela ukuyekethisa futhi idimoni lizocindezela abapristi abaningi nemiphefumulo engcwelisiwe ukuba bashiye inkonzo yeNkosi. —Ubusisiwe uMariya uMariya kuSr. Agnes Sasagawa, Akita, Japan
Kakade, sesibona izizwe ezinjengeCanada neBrithani, nezifundazwe zaseMelika ezinjengeMassachusetts neCalifornia, ziba yi indawo yokuhlola ukuphoqelela isimilo esichazwe nguhulumeni kubantu. Ukushushiswa kwalolu hlobo akukusha emhlabeni. Okusha ukuthi lokhu kuphoqelelwa kuza, hhayi ngemashi ebhuqayo nodlame, kepha ngamakamelo enkantolo ahlotshisiwe, abameli abafanelekile, nobuhlakani bengqondo, konke lokhu kudlalwe ngaphandle kwegazi eColiseum yabezindaba.
Lokhu kuhlasela akusabhekiswe ezizweni, kepha sekuphikisiwe ingqondo womuntu. —INkosikazi Yethu Yezizwe Zonke kusolwa ukuthi yaya ku-Ida Peerdeman, ngoFebhuwari 14, 1950; Imilayezo ye-The Lady of All Nations, iphe. I-27
AmaKrestu ayabandlululwa ngendlela ehlelekileko ngebanga lokuziphatha kwabo, khulukhulu endabeni yezobulili. Kucaca futhi kucace usuku nosuku ukuthi singena ngokujule “ekulweni kokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene nesonto, iVangeli kanye ne anti-Gospel” okwaprofethwa nguJohn Paul II ngo-1976.
Ngemuva kwalokho bazokunikela ekushushisweni, futhi bazokubulala. Niyakuzondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami. ( UMat 24: 6-8)
Kungani? Ngoba amaKrestu azoba yisikhubekiso ohlelweni lomhlaba omusha “lokuthula” olusekelwe enkolweni yamanga. AmaKrestu azobonwa njengamaphekula amasha, izitha “zokuthula.” Iqiniso lizothukuthela.
Isikhathi siyeza lapho loba ngubani olibulalayo uzacabanga ukuthi ukhonza uNkulunkulu. (Johane 16: 2)
Futhi lokhu kuzokwenzeka kuwo wonke amaKrestu ngaphandle kokuthi uNkulunkulu kuthanda avikele uMlobokazi Wakhe, ngenkathi ebeka eceleni abanye bethu ukuthola umqhele wokufelukholo. Ini is Ngokuqinisekile iSonto lizonqoba futhi amandla obumnyama ngeke anqobe (Math 16:18). ISonto lizovela lihlanzekile futhi lingcwele, futhi lokho okuhle, okungcwele, nokuyiqiniso kuzovikela umhlaba njengoba uthango luvala ingadi yama-rose. Kuzoba usuku lapho:
… Ngegama likaJesu wonke amadolo ayoguqa, ezulwini nasemhlabeni nangaphansi komhlaba, futhi zonke izilimi ziyavuma ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kube yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba. (Fil 2: 10-11)
