Ecce Homo, nguMichael D. O'Brien

UJESU akazange abethelwe ngenxa yesihawu sakhe. Wayengashaywa ngenxa yokwelapha abakhubazekile, ukuvula amehlo ezimpumputhe, noma ukuvusa abafileyo. Kanjalo futhi, kuyaqabukela uthole ukuthi amaKristu abekelwa eceleni ngokwakha indawo yokuhlala yabesifazane, ukondla abampofu, noma ukuvakashela abagulayo. Esikhundleni salokho, uKristu nomzimba waKhe, iSonto, babeshushiswa ngokushushiswa ngenxa yokumemezela iqiniso.

Yilesi isinqumo, ukuthi ukukhanya kweza emhlabeni, kepha abantu bakhetha ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngoba imisebenzi yabo imibi. Ngoba wonke umuntu owenza izinto ezimbi uzonda ukukhanya futhi akezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingadalulwa. Kepha noma ngubani ophila iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakale ukuthi yenziwe kuNkulunkulu. (Johane 3: 19-21)

Abaprofethi bamanga bathi konke kuhamba kahle. Ukuthi ulungile, ngiyaphila, futhi konke kulungile. Bashiya abantu ebumnyameni, benganaki iqiniso, begcina isimo esikhona, begcina ukuthula — a bamanga ukuthula. ^[1]qhathanisa Abenzi Bokuthula Ababusisiwe UJeremiya wayengeyena umuntu onjalo. Wayekhuluma iqiniso, kwesinye isikhathi iqiniso elilukhuni, ngoba wayazi ukuthi iqiniso kuphela elingasikhulula. Kuyindida ukuthi, iqiniso yisisa esikhulu kunazo zonke ngoba kusizakala ngani ukondla umzimba kuphela kodwa ushiye umphefumulo ekubhujisweni? UJeremiya wakuqonda kahle lokhu kungahambi kahle:

Ngabe okuhle kufanele kuphindiselwe ngokubi ukuthi kufanele bambe umgodi wokuthatha umphefumulo wami? Khumbula ukuthi ngema phambi kwakho ukubakhulumela, ukubuyisa ulaka lwakho kubo. (Ukufunda kokuqala)

Kepha ngokwenza njalo, ngokukhuluma iqiniso, umKristu kufanele akulungele ukushushiswa, ngisho namalungu omndeni. Iqiniso, ekugcineni, aliyona iqoqo lemithetho noma izimfundiso, kepha nguMuntu: “Ngiyiqiniso,” kusho uJesu. ^[2]isib. Johane 14:6 Lapho abantu benqaba wena ngokubambelela eqinisweni eliyiqiniso, empeleni bamphika uKristu.

Ngiyezwa ukuhleba kwesixuku, okungithusayo nhlangothi zonke, njengoba bebonisana ngami, behlela ukuthatha umphefumulo wami. Kepha ithemba lami likuwe, Nkosi. (Ihubo lanamuhla)

Umuntu angaxolelwa ngokucabanga ukuthi isizukulwane sethu samanje singumqokeleli “wokuhlubuka okukhulu” uSt. ^[3]qhathanisa Ukuyekethisa: Ukuhlubuka Okukhulufuthi Ikhambi Elikhulu Baphi, egameni likaNkulunkulu, abesilisa nabesifazane namuhla abangaliniseli iqiniso, abangayekethisi, abathobekile nabalalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu njengoba lembulwe ngokugcwele ekukholweni kwamaKhatholika? Ngokwazi lokhu: igagasi lobubi elihambisana nokuhlubuka okukhulu livinjelwe, ngokwengxenye, ngabesilisa nabesifazane abanesibindi, njengoJeremiya, abazokhuluma iqiniso noma ngabe lokho kuzobabulala.

ISonto lihlala libizelwa ukwenza lokho uNkulunkulu akucela ku-Abrahama, okusho ukuthi kunamadoda alungile anele okucindezela ububi nokubhujiswa. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, k. 166, Izingxoxo NoPeter Seewald

Ngakho-ke uJesu uphendukela kuwe nami namuhla bese ebuza umbuzo:

“Ungayiphuza indebe engizoyiphuza?” Bathi kuye: "Singakwenza." Waphendula wathi, “Uzophuza indebe yami impela…” noma ngubani ofisa ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu uzakuba yisisebenzi senu… (iVangeli lanamhlanje)

… Inceku ku Iqiniso.

Umhlaba wehlukaniswa ngokushesha waba amakamu amabili, ubumbano lokulwa noKristu nobuzalwane bukaKristu. Imigqa phakathi kwalaba ababili iyadonselwa…. kungqubuzwano phakathi kweqiniso nobumnyama, iqiniso alikwazi ukulahleka. - UVenerable Fulton John Sheen, uMbhishobhi, (1895-1979); Umthombo awaziwa, mhlawumbe “Ihora LamaKatolika”
