Ekujezisweni Kwesikhashana

UKUHLAWULWA mhlawumbe izimfundiso ezinengqondo kunazo zonke. Ngoba ngubani kithi othanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu konke inhliziyo yethu, konke izingqondo zethu, futhi konke umphefumulo wethu? Ukubamba inhliziyo yomuntu, noma ingxenyana nje, noma ukunika uthando lwakhe ngisho nasezithombeni ezincane kakhulu, kusho ukuthi kunengxenye okungeyona ekaNkulunkulu, ingxenye edinga ukuhlanzwa. Lapha kulele imfundiso yesihlanzo.

Uma uNkulunkulu eluthando, lonke uthando, yilokho kuphela okuluhlobo oluphelele futhi oluphelele olungahlanganiswa Naye. Ngakho-ke, ukuze umuntu angene isidlo esigcwele noNkulunkulu kudinga ukuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo, ingqondo nomphefumulo — okufunwa ubulungiswa baphezulu. Kepha ngubani ongaba msulwa kangako? Yilokho isipho yesihe saphezulu.

Ukuthethelelwa kwesono nokubuyiselwa kokuhlangana noNkulunkulu kuhilela ukuthethelelwa kwesijeziso saphakade sesono, kepha isijeziso sesono sesikhashana sihlala. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1472

Yebo, uJesu “Uzosithethelela izono zethu asihlanze kuzo zonke izenzo ezimbi” ^[1]isib. 1 Joh 1: 9 lapho sivuma. Njengoba kusho kuHubo lwanamuhla,

… Inhliziyo edabukile futhi ithobekile, Nkulunkulu, awuyikulahla.

Kepha iGazi likaKristu alisihlanzeli elethu inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Amandla okumthanda ngokuphelele adinga ukusebenzisana kwethu nomusa, ukusisusa kokungaphansi kuye kokungaphezulu.

… Sonke isono, ngisho nenyama, sibandakanya ukunamathela okungenampilo ezidalweni, okumele kuhlanzwe lapha emhlabeni, noma ngemuva kokufa endaweni ebizwa ngePurgatory. Lokhu kuhlanzwa kukhulula umuntu kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi "isijeziso sesikhashana" sesono.-Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1472

Isihlanzo siyisipho sabathembekile. I-Purgatory yisimo esisilungiselela uthando, senza indawo yenjabulo ephelele, futhi sihlanze umbono wethu wokubona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu.

Ngubani ongakhuphuka intaba yeNkosi? Ngubani ongema endaweni yakhe engcwele? "Ukuhlanzeka kwesandla nokuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo, onganikeli umphefumulo wakhe ezintweni ezingenamsebenzi, kuyize lini." (IHu 24: 3-4)

Isihlanzo, noma kunjalo, kunjalo hhayi ithuba lesibili. Njengoba sifunda ekufundweni kweMisa ngesonto eledlule, ngaphambi kokuba ngamunye wethu abe nokuphila, futhi kufanele sikhethe impilo kule ndiza ukugwema ukufa kwaphakade okulandelayo. Njengoba uJesu esho ngabangaphenduki eVangelini lanamuhla, "Ekwahlulelweni amadoda aseNineve azovuka nalesi sizukulwane asilahle." Umzuzwana emva kokufa, ngamunye wethu uzobhekana nokwahlulela kwakhe kanye nethemba leZulu noma lesihogo. Labo abalahle uNkulunkulu kule mpilo bazoqhubeka nokugqoka ingubo yabo yokungcola bangene ebumnyameni. Labo ababeka ukholo lwabo kuKristu bazogqoka ingubo yomshado sebethole kakade singene ekukhanyeni… kepha noma yimaphi amabala asele othando lwasemhlabeni azohlanzwa kuqala ePurgatory.

Abaningi bethu bahlekisa ngokuthi sizoba nini ePurigator, kodwa angicabangi ukuthi uJesu uyahleka! Weza ukuze sikwazi “Ube nokuphila futhi ube nakho ngokuchichimayo.” ^[2]isib. Joh 10:10 Uvule umgcinimafa waphezulu ukuze siphile izibusiso manje futhi uvikele ukuhlushwa kwalokho isimo sokuhlanzwa Wesihlanzo ngokungena ngokushesha ekufeni ebukhoneni Bakhe baphakade.

Kungenzeka-ke, emhlabeni, ukuthi ube ngcwele ngokweqiniso futhi ngokugcwele. Ukufundwa kokuqala kwanamuhla kuyindatshana yokuthi ukuzincama okuphelele kungasisula kanjani sonke isijeziso ngoba, ngokweqiniso, yilokhu uBaba akufisayo, lokho uKristu eza ukukwenza, noMoya ozoqeda — ngokuzimisela.

Ukuguqulwa okuvela esisaweni esivuthayo kungafinyelela ekuhlanzweni okuphelele kwesoni ngendlela yokuthi kungajeziswa.… Kufanele alwele ngemisebenzi yesihe kanye nesisa senhliziyo, kanjalo nangomkhuleko nangezindlela ezehlukene zokuzisola, ukwehlisa ngokuphelele "umuntu omdala" nokugqoka "umuntu omusha. " -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, n. 1472, 1473
