Imibhalo yenkolo lapha
Ukuphika kukaPeter, ngu-Michael D. O'Brien
IT kuyamangaza kancane, impela. Ngemuva kokukhuluma ngokuhlakanipha okumangazayo nokwenza imisebenzi yamandla, ababukeli babevele baklolodele bathi, “Akasiye umbazi yini, indodana kaMariya?”
Futhi bacasuka ngaye. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
Lowo Mbazi ofanayo uyaqhubeka nanamuhla ukukhuluma ngokuhlakanipha okumangazayo futhi enze imisebenzi yamandla emhlabeni wonke ngomzimba Wakhe oyindida, iSonto. Iqiniso ngukuthi, noma yikuphi lapho iVangeli lamukelwa futhi lafakwa khona eminyakeni engama-2000 edlule, aliguqulanga izinhliziyo kuphela kepha nempucuko yonke. Kulokhu ukwangiwa kwe- Iqiniso, ubuhle nobuhle buqhakazile. Ubuciko, izincwadi, umculo nokwakhiwa kwezakhiwo sekushintshiwe futhi ukunakekelwa kwabagulayo, imfundo yabancane, nezidingo zabampofu seziguquliwe.
Abahlaziyi bazamile ukuguqula amaqiniso omlando, bakwenze kubonakale sengathi iSonto laletha “izinkathi zobumnyama” ngokucindezelwa kwezinzalamizi okwakwenza abantu bangazi futhi bathembele kubo. Eqinisweni, ubuKrestu buguqula iYurophu lapho kungavelanga khona kuphela isiko lempucuko, kepha kwabangcwele abaningi. Kepha abesilisa bekhulu le-16, ngokuziqhenya kwabo, "babecasulwa" yiSonto, bacasulwa ukukholwa kwabo kuMuntu ababethi uvukile kwabafileyo futhi wabanikeza igunya lokuziphatha lokuqondisa imiphefumulo yabantu nezizwe. Bacasulwa ukuzinikela kwabangakholwa, babeka izinkolelo zabo enkolelweni nasezinganekweni ezingenangqondo.
Cha, lawa madoda “ayekhanyiselwe” ngokweqiniso. Babekholelwa ukuthi ngefilosofi, isayensi, kanye nokucabanga, bangakha indawo lapho isintu singeke siboshwe ngokuziphatha okucindezelayo, kepha kunalokho siqondiswe yizibani zakhe kanye nokuziphatha kwakhe; lapho “amalungelo esintu” ayezothatha indawo yeMiyalo; lapho inkolo yayizongena esikhundleni sokucabanga okunengqondo; futhi lapho isayensi izovula khona izindawo ezingenamkhawulo kubuciko bomuntu, uma kungenjalo umnyango wokungafi.
Kodwa eminyakeni engama-400 kamuva, lo mbhalo usodongeni.
Isintu sidinga ukukhala futhi lesi yisikhathi sokukhala… Nanamuhla, ngemuva kokwehluleka okwesibili kwenye impi yezwe, mhlawumbe umuntu angakhuluma ngempi yesithathu, eyodwa yalwa ngocezu, ngobugebengu, ukubulawa kwabantu, ukubhujiswa. —UPOP FRANCIS, Homily, Septhemba 13, 2014, Telegraph
USt Paul wayebonakala ekhuluma ngalezi zikhathi, sengathi wabona ingcindezi yamakhulu amane eminyaka edlule, nokuthi ikusasa lalabo “abonwe” lizodlala kanjani.
… Noma babemazi uNkulunkulu abamnikanga inkazimulo njengoNkulunkulu noma ukumbonga. Kunalokho, baba yize ekucabangeni kwabo, futhi izingqondo zabo ezingenangqondo zamnyama. Ngenkathi bethi bahlakaniphile, baba yiziwula… Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wabanikela ekungcoleni ngezinkanuko zezinhliziyo zabo ngokwehliswa komzimba wabo. Bananale iqiniso likaNkulunkulu ngamanga futhi bahlonipha bakhonza isidalwa kunokuba bakhonze umdali. (Roma 1: 21-22, 24-25)
Ngolunye usuku, izazi-mlando zizobheka emuva bese zithi bekuyikho yethu izikhathi, izikhathi “zesiko lokufa” okwakuyi- iminyaka yobumnyama yangempela lapho okungakazalwa, abagulayo nabadala babengasabalulekile; lapho isithunzi sobulili saxhashazwa ngokuphelele; lapho ubufazi besifazane benziwa ubudoda futhi ubudoda besilisa benziwa abesifazane; lapho izimiso zokuziphatha zalahlwa futhi izinhloso zesayensi zahlanekezelwa; lapho umnotho wezizwe wawudukisiwe nezikhali zamazwe zingenasizathu.
Mhlawumbe, mhlawumbe kunguNkulunkulu onguye manje ucasukile.
Ngibe nombono wengalo kaJesu ephakanyiswe ngaphezu komhlaba, ngilungele ukuyishaya. INkosi yanginika ukufundwa ukuze sifunde, sizindle, futhi nokuthi siguqule inkambo yezimpilo zethu, ngenkathi sisenesikhathi sokuguqula futhi sibe ngabantu abalungile:
Maye kulabo abathi okubi kuhle, nokubi okuhle bathi, abaguqula ubumnyama bube ngukukhanya, nokukhanya kube ubumnyama, abaguqula okumunyu bakwenza okumnandi, nabamnandi kwaba ababayo! Maye kulabo abazihlakaniphile emehlweni abo, nabahlakaniphileyo ngokubona kwabo! Maye kubanqobi ekuphuzeni iwayini, iqhawe ekuxubeni isiphuzo esinamandla! Kulabo abathobela onecala ngokufumbathisa, futhi baphuca umuntu olungile amalungelo akhe! Ngakho-ke, njengolimi lomlilo lukhotha izigaxa, njengotshani obomile obushwabene elangabini, kanjalo impande yabo iyobe ibolile, nembali yabo ihlakazeke njengothuli. Ngokuba bawulahlile umthetho kaJehova Sebawoti, balidelela izwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli. Ngalokho intukuthelo kaJehova iyavutha kubantu bakhe, uphakamisa isandla sakhe ukuba abashaye. Lapho izintaba zizamazama, izidumbu zabo ziyakuba njengomfula ezitaladini. Kukho konke lokhu, ulaka lwakhe alubuyanga emuva, nesandla sakhe siseluliwe (u-Isaya 5: 20-25). —Ukulungiselelwa kukaJesu ngu-Edson Glauber wase-Itapiranga, eBrazil; Disemba 29, 2016; UMbhishobhi omkhulu uCarillo Gritti, IMC wase-Itacoatiara uvume isimilo esingaphezulu kwemvelo sezibuko ngoMeyi ka-2009
Ngolunye usuku, othile ku-Facebook wangibhalela ethi, "Ukuphela kwento ebonakalayo eyenziwa yinkolo isobala ngokusobala — impi nobugebengu benzondo." Ngaphendula ngathi, “Yiziphi ezimfundisweni zikaJesu ezikhuthaza 'impi nokuzonda ubugebengu'?” Akubanga nampendulo.
Abekho abantu abayikhulu eMelika abazonda iSonto LamaKatolika. Kunezigidi zabantu abazonda lokho abakholelwa ngokuyiphutha njengeSonto LamaKatolika — okuyinto eqinisweni ehluke kakhulu. —Inceku kaNkulunkulu Umbhishobhi Omkhulu uFulton Sheen, Isandulela sika Izimpendulo Zomsakazo Umq. 1, (1938) ikhasi ix
… Yingakho ngicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubekezele ngalesi sizukulwane, okungabantu “abasebumnyameni” ngempela. [1]isib. Mat 4:16
Futhi-ke, ngempilo nokwambulwa kukaJesu, ongumfanekiso kaBaba, sinokuqonda okusha nokujulile kothando lukaNkulunkulu ngathi. Ukuthi noma kufika ubulungiswa Bakhe, nalokhu kuyisihe.
Ndodana yami, ungasithathi kancane isiyalo seNkosi, futhi ungapheli amandla lapho ujeziswa yiyo. Ngoba iNkosi iyala lowo emthandayo, futhi ijezisa wonke indodana eyamukelayo. (Kufundwa kokuqala namuhla)
Mhlawumbe thina AmaKristu bayacasulwa uNkulunkulu nanamuhla futhi… bacasulwa ukuthula Kwakhe njalo, bacasulwa ukuhlupheka kwethu, bacasulwa ukungabi nabulungisa akuvumela emhlabeni, bacasulwa ubuthakathaka namahlazo amalungu eSonto, njalonjalo. Kepha uma sicasukile, imvamisa kungenxa yezizathu ezimbili. Okokuqala, ukuthi asikalamukeli iqiniso elimangalisayo nokho elisabekayo lokho, nakho senziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, sinenkululeko yokuzikhethela, engasetshenziselwa okuhle noma okubi. Asikazithatheli umthwalo ngokwethu. Okwesibili, ukuthi namanje asinakho ukukholwa okujulile okwanele ukwethemba ukuthi, ngomlando, uNkulunkulu wenza zonke izinto zisebenze kube kuhle kulabo abamthandayo. [2]isib. Rom 8: 28
Wamangala ngokungakholwa kwabo. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
Ngisho namanje, noma nje isandla seNkosi ngathi sizokwehlela kulo mhlaba ohlubukayo, kufanele sethembe ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuhlupheka avumela umuntu ukuba akuvune kulokho akuhlwanyelile, ukuthi usasithanda.
Njengoyise ehawukela abantwana bakhe, kanjalo uJehova uyabahawukela abamesabayo, ngokuba yena uyakwazi ukwakheka kwethu; uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli. (Ihubo lanamuhla)
Ngaleso sikhathi, sonke isiyalo sibonakala njengesimbangela hhayi senjabulo kepha sobuhlungu, kepha kamuva siletha isithelo sokuthula sokulunga kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiyo. (Ukufunda kokuqala)
