WE ngokuvamile abajabuli ngoba sifuna ukugcwaliseka kuzo zonke izindawo ezingalungile. U-St. Justin waphenya kumafilosofi, u-Augustine ekuthandeni izinto ezibonakalayo, uTeresa wase-Avila ezincwadini eziqanjiwe, uFaustina ngomdanso, uBartolo Longo kubuSathane, u-Adamu no-Eva emandleni…. Ufuna kuphi?

Esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla, uSawule nenceku yakhe bayofuna “izimbongolo” zikayise ezilahlekile—mhlawumbe uphawu olufanelekayo lwazo zonke lezo zinto ezincane esizifuna ngokungapheli osukwini lwethu ukuze zisinike induduzo, ukulondeka, nenjabulo: ukudla, ukuzijabulisa, izinto ezingenamsebenzi. ubumnandi, imidlalo eyeqisayo, ithelevishini, imidlalo yevidiyo, i-inthanethi….

Ngakho badabula izwe lezintaba lakwa-Efrayimi nasezweni laseShalisha. Ababatholanga lapho, baqhubeka bedabula izwe laseShahalim ngaphandle kwempumelelo. Badabula nezwe lakwaBenjamini, kepha abazitholanga izinkomo.

Babebheka kuzo zonke izindawo ezingafanele. Eqinisweni, uNkulunkulu wayenokuningi ukufeza amasu ngoSawule. Kwadingeka “izwi lesiprofetho” ukuze akhombe endleleni efanele ngemva kokuhlangana “nomboni,” uSamuweli. Uthumela uSawule “endaweni ephakemeyo.” Kulapho uSawule athola khona okungaphezu kwalokho ayengakucabanga—ugcotshwa ukuba abe inkosi.

AmaKristu amaningi namuhla aya esontweni ngamaSonto, kodwa ajaha “izimbongolo” isonto lonke. Ngakho-ke siba abangenalo injabulo, ukungabi nalutho, ukudangala...

Noma nini lapho impilo yethu yangaphakathi iba nezifiso zayo kanye nokukhathazeka, akusekho ndawo yabanye, ayisekho indawo yabampofu. Izwi likaNkulunkulu alisazwakali, injabulo ethule yothando lwakhe ayisazwakali, futhi isifiso sokwenza okuhle siyaphela. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 2

Futhi izwe elisizungezile lilahlekelwa ukukhanya kwalongoba uJesu wathi “Ungu ukukhanya kwezwe.” ^[1]isib. Mat 5:14 Oh inhliziyo engaphumuli! Ngenzenjani?

Into yokuqala ukuvuma ukuthi uyikho aphumule; okwesibili, qaphela “izimbongolo” ukuthi ziyini—yesikhashana izinto, izikhathi ezidlulayo noma amangqamuzana ezinto ezingenakukunika injabulo ehlala njalo; okwesithathu, vuma ukuthi unjalo abangenalutho ekunqobeni inyama yenu. Elokugcina liphethe izindaba ezinhle:

Abaphilile abamdingi udokotela, kodwa abagulayo bayamdinga. angizanga ukuzobiza abalungileyo kodwa izoni. (Ivangeli Lanamuhla)

Into yesine iwukufuna, njengoSawule, “endaweni ephakemeyo.” Kakade, “uyinkosi” ngenxa yokubhapathizwa kwakho. Ngakho-ke, nali “izwi lakho lesiprofetho” ukuze likuthumele endleleni efanele:

Ngakho uma navuswa kanye noKristu, funani okwaphezulu, lapho ekhona uKristu, ehlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu; Cabangani okwaphezulu, kungeyisikho okusemhlabeni… Ngokuba konke okusemhlabeni, inkanuko yenyama, nokuhugwa kwamehlo, nokuzigabisa, akuveli kuYise, kodwa kuvela ezweni. Nokho izwe nokuyenga kwalo kuyadlula. Kodwa noma ubani intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakade. ( Kol 3:1-2; 1 Joh 2:16-17 )

Lapho, mngane wami, indawo elungile ongayibheka.
