UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 14
INSINDISO isipho, isipho esimsulwa esivela kuNkulunkulu esingatholwa muntu. Inikezwa ngesihle ngoba “uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka.” [1]John 3: 16 Kokunye kwezambulo ezishukumisa kakhulu kusuka kuJesu kuya eSt. Faustina, Ukhomba:
Isoni masingasabi ukusondela Kimi. Amalangabi omusa ayangishisa — ngikhalela ukuthi achithwe… Ngifuna ukuqhubeka ngithela imiphefumulo; imiphefumulo nje ayifuni ukukholelwa ebuhleni Bami. -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 50
Umphostoli uPawulu wabhala ukuthi uNkulunkulu “uthanda ukuba wonke umuntu asindiswe futhi afinyelele olwazini lweqiniso.” [2]I-1 Tim 2: 4 Ngakho-ke akukho mbuzo ngokuphana kukaNkulunkulu nesifiso esivuthayo sokubona wonke owesilisa nowesifazane behlala Naye ingunaphakade. Kodwa-ke, kuyiqiniso ngokulinganayo ukuthi asikwazi ukwenqaba lesi sipho kuphela, kodwa sisilahle, noma sesisindisiwe.
Ngenkathi ngisakhula, kwakukhona ukuhlubuka okusakazeka phakathi kwamanye amasonto e-Evangelical "lapho esindisiwe, wasindiswa njalo", ongakwazi ungalokothi ulahlekelwe insindiso yakho. Ukuthi kusukela "ekubizweni ealtare" kuqhubeke, 'umbozwe ngegazi likaJesu ", noma ngabe wenzani. Ngokudabukisayo, ngisaqhubeka ngizwa abashumayeli bomsakazo nabethelevishini beqhubeka nokufundisa leli phutha ngezikhathi ezithile. Kepha ngokuqinisekile, unozakwabo ongumKatolika futhi, lapho abanye abefundisi befundise khona lokho, ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu ongapheli, akekho izophela phakade esihogweni.

Isizathu sokuthi womabili la mahlelo amanga ayingozi futhi acashile, ukuthi anamandla okukhubekisa noma okuvimba ngokuphelele ukukhula komKristu ukungcweliswa. Uma ngingeke ngilahlekelwe yinsindiso yami, pho kungani uzihlupha ngokubulala inyama yami? Uma ngingavele ngicele intethelelo, kungani unganikeli kulesi sono esibuhlungu kanye nje kuphela? Uma ngingeke ngiphele esihogweni, pho kungani ngizikhathaza ngokuqhubeka nokuzinikela, ukuthandaza, ukuzila ukudla nokujwayela amaSakramente lapho isikhathi sethu "sokudla, ukuphuza nokujabula" lapha emhlabeni sifushane njengoba sinjalo? AmaKhristu asivivi, uma kungenjalo angamakhaza, iqhinga elikhulu kunawo wonke likaDeveli empini engokomoya yokubanga imiphefumulo njengeyakhe. Ngoba uSathane akabesabi abasindisiwe — uyamesaba uJehova abangcwele. Labo, abangasho ngoSt. "Angiphili mina, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi." [4]IGal 2: 20 Futhi ngokusho kukaJesu, bambalwa.
Ngenani ngesango elincane; ngoba isango libanzi futhi indlela ilula, eholela ekubhujisweni, futhi labo abangena ngayo baningi. Ngokuba isango lincane nendlela iyingcingo eyisa ekuphileni; bambalwa abayitholayo. (Math 7: 13-14)
Le ndima ivame ukuqondwa njengokusho ukuthi abaningi baya esihogweni, futhi bambalwa abafinyelela ezulwini. Kepha kukhona enye incazelo ejulile okufanele icatshangelwe lapha. Futhi yilokhu: ukuthi isango elincane lokuphila yisango lokuzidela nokulahla umhlaba eliholela ebunyeni bangaphakathi noNkulunkulu. Futhi ngempela, bambalwa labo abawutholayo, bambalwa labo abazimisele ukuphikelela kulokho uJesu akubiza ngokuthi “indlela enzima.” Namuhla, sibiza labo abenze “abangcwele.” Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abaningi yilabo abathatha indlela elula nesivivi ehlehla nezwe, futhi ekugcineni iholele ekubhujisweni kwezithelo zikaMoya empilweni yomuntu, ngaleyo ndlela baphikise ubufakazi bomKristu nokusongela kwakhe embusweni. kaSathane.
Futhi-ke izolo bekuyisimemo kuwe nakimi sokungena esangweni elincane, ukuze sibe ngabahambi beqiniso abamelana nendlela elula. “Indlela inzima”, kodwa ngiyakuqinisekisa, uNkulunkulu uzokwenza wonke umusa kanye "nesibusiso somoya" [5]cf. Efe 1:3 itholakale kuwe nakimi uma thina kodwa isifiso ukuthatha le ndlela. Futhi leso sifiso sivula indlela yesihlanu, “umgwaqo omkhulu” wesihlanu wokuthi uNkulunkulu angene emphefumulweni, okuyilapho engikholwa ukuthi sizolanda khona kusasa.
Kodwa ngifuna ukuvala ukucabanga kwanamuhla ngokubala kafushane le mbuka yokuthi asisoze salahlekelwa insindiso yethu — hhayi ukunethusa; hhayi ukudala ukwesaba. Kepha ukudonsela ukunaka kwakho empini engokomoya esikuyo leyo ebaluleke kakhulu kuhloswe ngayo ukuvimbela mina nawe ukuba sibe omunye uKristu emhlabeni. Kwakungena eSt. John Vianney lapho uSathane amemeza khona, “Ukube bekunabapristi abathathu abanjengawe, umbuso wami ubuyokonakala!” Kuthiwani uma mina nawe empeleni singena kulokho engizokubiza ngakho njengamanje “umgwaqo omncane weNyawo”?
Kulungile, kuya ekuhlubukeni. UJesu waxwayisa ukuthi…
… Uthando lwabaningi luzophola. Kepha lowo uphikelela kuze kube sekupheleni uzosindiswa. (Math 10:22)
Ekhuluma namaKrestu aseRoma asindiswa "ngenxa yokholo", [6]Rom wathi St. Paul, 11:20 ubakhumbuza ukuthi babone…
… Umusa kaNkulunkulu kuwe, enikeziwe hlala emseni wakhe; ngaphandle kwalokho nawe uzonqunywa. (Rom 11:22)
Lokhu kunanela amazwi kaJesu athi lawo magatsha angatheli izithelo “azonqunywa” futhi lawo…
… Kuqoqwa amagatsha, aphonswe emlilweni ashiswe. (Johane 15: 6)
KumaHeberu, uPawulu uthi:
Ngoba sihlanganyela noKristu, if impela sibambelela ekuzethembeni kwethu okuqinile kuze kube sekupheleni. (Heb 3:14)
Lokhu kuzethemba noma "ukukholwa", kusho uSt. James Ufile uma kungafakazelwa ngemisebenzi. [7]isib. Jakobe 2:17 Ngempela, ekwahlulelweni kokugcina, uJesu uthi sizokwahlulelwa ngemisebenzi yethu:
'Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile noma womile noma ungumfokazi noma uhamba ze noma ugula noma usetilongweni, wangakusiza ngezidingo zakho? 'Uzobaphendula athi,' Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe, Lokho ongakwenzelanga noyedwa walaba abancinyane, awukwenziwanga yimi. 'Futhi laba bayoya ekujezisweni okuphakade, kodwa abalungileyo baye ekuphileni okuphakade. (Math 25: 44-46)
Qaphela ukuthi abaqalekisiwe bambiza ngokuthi “Nkosi”. Kepha uJesu uthi:
Akuwona wonke umuntu othi kimi, 'Nkosi, Nkosi,' ozongena embusweni wezulu, kodwa kuphela owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini. (Math 7:21)
Ekugcineni, uSt. Paul uphendukela kuye athi,
Ngishayela umzimba wami futhi ngiyawuqeqesha, funa ukuthi, ngemuva kokushumayeza abanye, nami uqobo ngikhishwe. (1 Kor 9:27; bona futhi uPhil 2:12, 1 Kor 10: 11-12, noGal 5: 4)
Okungukuthi, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, uSt. Kepha kulokhu, wathola injabulo eyimfihlo, “Ngoba kimi ukuphila kunguKristu," uthe, "nokufa kuyinzuzo." [8]UPhil 1: 21 Okungukuthi, ukufa kuwe uqobo.
ISIFINYEZO NOMBHALO
Umgwaqo oyiNarrow Pilgrim Road, okuyindlela yokuzilahla ngenxa kaKristu, uholela ekuthini kube nokuthula nenjabulo nempilo.
Ngakho-ke, masishiye emuva imfundiso eyisisekelo ngoKristu futhi sidlulele ekuvuthweni, ngaphandle kokubeka isisekelo kabusha… Ngoba akunakwenzeka kulabo abake bakhanyiselwa futhi banambitha isipho sasezulwini futhi bahlanganyela kuMoya oNgcwele futhi banambitha izwi elihle likaNkulunkulu namandla esikhathi esizayo, base bewa, ukubabuyisela ekuphendukeni futhi, ngoba bazibekela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngokwabo futhi bayibukela phansi. (Heb 6: 1-6)
