Ukuhlengwa Okukhulu

 

Uhambile wayofuna u-Adamu,
ubaba wethu wokuqala, njengemvu elahlekile.
Ngifisa kakhulu ukuvakashela labo abahlala ebumnyameni
nasethunzini lokufa,
Useye ekukhululekeni osizini
U-Adamu ezibophweni zakhe
no-Eva, beboshwe naye...

TIncazelo Inhliziyo yeVangeli lethu iwukuchaza kungani UJesu wafela esiphambanweni ngenxa yethu: ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda kangaka izwe... 

Kodwa uma singaqondi ini UJesu efeza ngokugcwele ngokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe, sisengozini yokuhlala ebumnyameni — sikhululiwe kodwa singakhululwa; sikhululiwe kodwa sisakhohliswa; izisulu esikhundleni sabanqobi. 

 

Ubumnyama Obukhulu

Isizathu sokuba iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ibonakale kwakuwukubhubhisa imisebenzi kaDeveli. (I-1 John 3: 8)

Umsebenzi oyinhloko kadeveli kwakuwukuyenga isintu, okwaholela ekuweni komuntu. ukunqoba kwakuwukufa: ukuhlukaniswa kwaphakade komuntu noNkulunkulu. Ungacabanga ukuthi abantu beTestamente Elidala babezizwa kanjani ngokufa? Ngenxa yesono sokuqala, babazi ukuthi indawo yabo yokugcina yokuphumula kwakuyiSheoli — “indawo yabafileyo.” 

Awusabakhumbuli; banqunyiwe ethonyeni lakho. Ungiphonsa phansi emgodini, ebumnyameni bomgodi. ( IHubo 88:6-7 )

Kwakungekho themba. Zonke izinsongo, zonke izifo, zonke izifo kwakuyimbangela yokuphelelwa yithemba; impilo yayiyi wayephila ngaphansi kwefu elingapheli lokwesaba nobumnyama. USathane waba “umbusi waleli zwe,”^[1]isib. Johane 12:31 futhi ama-Israyeli aba “ngabantu abahlala ebumnyameni.”^[2]I-Matt 4: 16

Isono sokuqala sisho “ukuthunjwa ngaphansi kwamandla alowo owayenamandla okufa, okungukuthi, udeveli.” -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 407

Kwabe sekuzalwa uJohane uMbhapathiziWayezo…

...hambani phambi kweNkosi nilungise izindlela zayo, ninike abantu bayo ulwazi lwensindiso ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zabo, ngenxa yesihe sikaNkulunkulu wethu okuzosivakashela ngaso ukusa okuvela phezulu ukuze kukhanye kulabo abahlezi ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, kuqondise izinyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula. (“Incwadi KaZakariya”, Luka 1:76-79)

USathane watshelwa ukuthi kukhona okwenzekile...

 

Ukunqoba

IBhayibheli alisitsheli ngqo ukuthi uSathane wayekuqondani ngobuntu bukaJesu. Ngokuqinisekile, udeveli wayeyazi kahle imiBhalo; wayezazi iziprofetho zikaMesiya ozayo, ngisho nokuthi wayezoba “inceku ehluphekayo.”^[3]bheka u-Isaya 52:13-53:12 Kodwa wayengaqondi ngempela incazelo yazo ephelele. Njengoba u-Aquinas eshilo, 

Izingqondo zamademoni ziphendukezelwe ngokuphelele ekuhlakanipheni kukaNkulunkulu... zingadukiswa ngokuphathelene nezinto ezingaphezu kwemvelo; isibonelo, lapho bebona umuntu ofile, bangase bacabange ukuthi ngeke aphinde avuke, noma, lapho bebona uKristu, bangase bamhlulele ngokuthi akayena uNkulunkulu. —USt. UThomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, I:58:5

Ngempela, izilingo zikaSathane ehlane kungenzeka ukuthi kwakuyimizamo ehleliwe yokwembula ubunjalo bukaKristu bangempela. Kodwa iNkosi ayizange ivume ukugibezwa. UJesu wabonakala eshiya ukungabaza okwanele engqondweni kaSathane mayelana nobukhulu beqiniso boMsebenzi Wakhe. Eqinisweni, kungaphikiswana ngokuthi uSathane wayecabanga ukuthi ukubethelwa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kwakuyoba ukunqoba okuwujuqu. Ngoba ngemva kokuvuka Kwakhe, uSt. Paul uyabhala:

Wanivusa kanye naye, esithethelela zonke iziphambeko zethu, esesulile isibopho esasimelene nathi kanye nemithetho yaso; wasisusa, wasibethela esiphambanweni, wahlubula ohulumeni namandla, wabenza isibonelo obala, ebanqoba kuYe. ( Kolose 2:13, 15-XNUMX )

Lokhu "kunqoba"^[4]IsiGrikhi: thriambeuõ futhi isithombe sikaPawulu sikhumbuza uhambo lokunqoba, lapho ojenene bamaRoma babehamba ngeziboshwa zempi ezihlazekile emigwaqweni yedolobha, bebonisa impango yabo futhi ngezinye izikhathi bebulala izithunjwa ekupheleni kohambo lwezempi. 

Ngakho-ke, uFr. John Riccardo uthi uJesu wayengeyena owayezingelwa kodwa umzingeli, noma njengoba uSt. Augustine asho, “Isiphambano seNkosi siwuhlobo logibe lwegundane lukadeveli.”^[5]qhathanisa Intshumayelo 263

Kwenzekani ePhakathini Lokuhlupheka? Kusukela ngesikhathi seNsimu yaseGetsemane kuqhubeke, uNkulunkulu uya ngokuya… efihla, efihla ubuNkulunkulu Bakhe. Ujuluka igazi. Uzivumela ukuba aboshwe. Uzivumela ukuba aboshwe ngamaketanga. Lo nguNkulunkulu esikhuluma ngaye. Lowo owenza indawo yonke. Uzivumela ukuba ashaywe ngempama. Uzivumela ukuba aphinyiselwe ngamathe. Uzivumela ukuba ahlutshulwe izingubo. Uzivumela ukuba aklebhulwe abe yizicucu ngokushaywa. Uzivumela ukuba athweswe umqhele wameva. Uzivumela ukuba abethelwe esihlahleni… Bheka, njengoba iNkosi ifihla ubuNkulunkulu Bayo, izama ukuqala impi. USathane ngeke alwe noNkulunkulu. Uyazi ukuthi akanalo ithuba. Ngakho-ke iSonto Lokuqala lalivame ukuthi kufanele ukuthi lowo owakhohlisa uhlanga lwethu ekuqaleni kufanele akhohliswe, futhi kuleso senzakalo, alethe ukubhujiswa kwakhe. Kunjengokungathi isitha simi phambi kweNkosi njengoba ilenga esiphambanweni futhi sithi… “Ngemizuzu embalwa, ungowami. Ngoba akekho obalekela ukufa. Futhi usuzokufa.” Futhi yilokho kanye uJesu ayefuna kwenzeke. —Fr. John Riccardo, “Ukumemezela iKerygma”, YouTube

Yile ndlela kanye oBaba beSonto abambona ngayo uJesu — njengoba umhlaseli:

...elwa nezitha zethu, futhi echoboza lowo owasiholela ekuthunjweni ku-Adamu ekuqaleni, [uJesu] wamnyathela ikhanda, njengoba ubona kuGenesise ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathi enyokeni, “Ngizobeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe” (Gen. 3:15). —USanta Irenaeus waseLyons (cishe ngo-125 - cishe ngo-202 AD), Ngokumelene namaHlubies, Incwadi V, Isahluko 21

EVangelini likaMathewu, uJesu uziqhathanisa nomuntu ophangayo:

Umuntu angangena kanjani endlini yesiqhwaga aphange impahla yaso, uma engabophi isiqhwaga kuqala, andukuba aphange indlu yaso? (Mathewu 12: 29)

Ngoba lapho [uKristu] esebophe indoda enamandla futhi eyinqobile ngeSiphambano sakhe, waze wangena endlini yakhe, indlu yokufa ezweni labafileyo, futhi esuka lapho waphanga impahla yakhe, okungukuthi, wahola imiphefumulo [ideveli] eyayiyigcinile. - Origen, Ukuphawula ngabaseRoma, Incwadi V, 10.11; Obaba beBandla, k. 373

UJesu wasindisa abalahlekile, wabahola ngokunqoba ngokuvuka kwakhe. 

...ukube wayengabulawanga, ukufa ngabe akukafi. UDeveli wanqotshwa ngempumelelo yakhe yokunqoba... Ngakho ukunqoba kweqiniso kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kwafezwa lapho evuka futhi enyukela eZulwini; kwabe sekugcwaliseka lokho enakuzwa lapho kufundwa i-Apocalypse: “Ingonyama evela esizweni sakwaJuda inqobile” (IsAm. 5: 5)... Ugibe lwegundane lukadeveli kwakuyisiphambano seNkosi; isicupho ayezobanjwa ngaso, ukufa kweNkosi. NeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu yavuka futhi. —USt. Augustine, Intshumayelo 263

Ngakho-ke, uJesu umnqobile uDeveli… kodwa uSathane uzonqotshwa kuphela ekupheleni kwesikhathi. kubhujiswe — emva kwe Iminyaka Eyinkulungwane noma “inkathi yokuthula” lapho iVangeli lizofinyelela emikhawulweni yomhlaba:^[6]isib. Mat 24:14

...uDeveli owayebadukisile waphonswa echibini lomlilo nesibabule lapho kwakukhona khona isilo nomprofethi wamanga, futhi bayohlushwa imini nobusuku kuze kube phakade naphakade. (IsAmbulo 20: 10)

 

Ukuhlenga

UFr. Riccardo ufanisa isikhathi esiphila kuso manje, kuze kube yilapho uSathane eboshwa futhi ebhujiswa okokugcina esikhathini esizayo, nesikhathi sangemva kweMpi Yezwe II. AmaNazi anqotshwa… kodwa iziboshwa kwakusadingeka zikhululwe futhi ibutho laseJalimane lihlonyiswe ngokuphelele. Ukulwa kwaqhubeka kwezinye izindawo izinyanga, uma kungenjalo iminyaka embalwa. Eqinisweni, ngenxa I-Working Paperclip, abaningi ababambisene namaNazi (ososayensi baseJalimane, onjiniyela, kanye nochwepheshe) bahlanganiswa nezikhungo zaseMelika, okusolakala ukuthi kuye kwaholela ohlotsheni oluhlukile lwempi ngezimboni zempi, zamakhemikhali kanye nezokwelapha.^[7]isb. Ubhubhane Lokulawula, Ukhiye weCaduceus

Imiphumela kimi nawe kufanele icace: thina makholwa abhapathiziwe “avuswe noKristu”^[8]Col 3: 1 abazona izisulu, kodwa abanqobiAsibona ababukele kodwa sibizelwe ukuba ngabakhululi, ukuqhubeka nokuqeda izikhali zesitha nokuhlanganyela ekubuyiseni impango yale mpi engokomoya, okungukuthi, imiphefumulo. 

Bhekani, ngininike igunya lokunyathela izinyoka nofezela, naphezu kwamandla onke esitha; akukho lutho oluyonilimaza. (Luka 10: 19)

UJesu ubhekisela ku- okungokomoya ukulimala. Njengoba sithandaza embusweni omkhulu The Deum:

Unqobe udosi lokufa, wavula umbuso weZulu kubo bonke abakholwayo.

Ubuhlungu bokufa buyimandla esono okusihlukanisa noNkulunkulu. Ngesihe sikaNkulunkulu, esinikezwa ngesihle ngamaSakramente, amandla kaSathane angokomoya kanye nezimangalo ziyaphulwa. Ngokumenyezelwa kweZwi, abantu abasebumnyameni baboniswa indlela yokuphuma; ngokuphenduka, bakhululwa ecaleni nasehlazweni; ngamaSakramente, bagcwaliswa ngoMoya, baqiniswe, futhi babuyiselwe. Futhi ngeziphiwo zomusa, bakhiwa futhi bahlonyiselwe ukuhlanganyela ebuthweni likaKristu.

Nokho, lokhu akusho ukuthi ukuhlupheka nokufa sekuphelile; kunalokho, uJesu uguqule lobu bubi baba izikhali zempi yethu:

Ngoba noma siphila ezweni, asilwi impi yomhlaba, ngoba izikhali zempi yethu azizona ezezwe kodwa zinamandla aphezulu okubhubhisa izinqaba. Sichitha izingxabano nazo zonke izithiyo ezizikhukhumezayo ezivimbela ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu, futhi sithumba yonke imicabango ukuze silalele uKristu… (2 Korinte 10: 3-6)

Ukuhlupheka akuseyona into embi engenamsebenzi; kusebenza njengomlilo wokusihlanza nokusenza sivumelane nentando kaNkulunkulu. Ukufa akuseyona into engapheli, kodwa kuyindlela yokungena ekuphileni okuphakade.

Cha, kukho konke lokhu singaphezu kwabanqobi ngaye owasithandayo. Ngokuba ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ukufa, nokuphila, nezingelosi, nababusi, nezinto ezikhona, nezinto ezizayo, namandla, nokuphakama, nokujula, nanoma yini enye edalweni, akuyikuba namandla okusahlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. (KwabaseRoma 8: 37-39)

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi, nakuba eyisitha esinqotshiwe, uSathane akakaboshwa. “Uhambahamba njengengonyama ebhongayo, efuna umuntu angamgwinya,” kusho uPetru.^[9]1 Peter 5: 8 Kodwa yena noJames bayanezela:

Melanani naye, niqinile okholweni lwenu, nazi ukuthi okuhlangenwe nakho okufanayo kokuhlupheka kuyadingeka kubazalwane benu emhlabeni wonke. Futhi ngemva kokuhlupheka isikhashana, uNkulunkulu womusa wonke, owanibizela enkazimulweni yakhe yaphakade kuKristu, yena ngokwakhe uzonivuselela, aniqinise, futhi aniqinise. (I-1 Peter 5: 9-11)

Ngakho-ke thobelani uNkulunkulu, nimelane noDeveli, khona uyakunibalekela. (UJames 4: 7)

Impela, izinhlamvu zisandiza; isitha sisenganqoba izimpi ezincane. Futhi sifuna ucabange ukuthi singanqoba wena. Lokhu kubangele amaKristu amaningi ukuba ahlehle, ekholelwa ukuthi udeveli unamandla.

Yeka ukumnika udumo! Yeka ukubuka izinhlamvu bese uqala ukuzithumela kuye.^[10]qhathanisa Ukulwa Nomlilo Ngomlilo Yibani umhlaseli eceleni kukaKristu; thatha indawo yakho eqenjini lokuhlenga.^[11]qhathanisa Ibhubesi Lwethu Elimncane Ingabe umshado wakho noma umndeni wakho uyahlaselwa? Zila ukudla futhi uthandaze. Ingabe uyalingwa? Phikelela.^[12]okungukuthi, “melana nodeveli”, futhi khumbula lokho isilingo akusona isonobheka uJakobe 1:2-4 Ingabe ububi bubonakala bunqoba? Yima ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu kwabathembekile bakhe.^[13]UJames 1: 12 Ingabe izimo zibonakala zinqwabelana ngokumelene nawe? Zilahle entandweni kaNkulunkulu kunokugconwa ngamademoni.^[14]bheka uMathewu 26:39 kanye nabanamandla INovena Yokulahlwa

Bantwanyana, ningabakaNkulunkulu, nibanqobile; ngokuba lowo okini mkhulu kunalowo osezweni… futhi lokhu kuyinqobo enqoba izwe, ukholo lwethu. (1 Johane 4:4, 5:4)

Thola amandla akho eNkosini nasemandleni ayo amakhulu... gqokani izikhali zikaNkulunkulu, ukuze nibe namandla okulwa ngosuku olubi, futhi, seniqedile konke, nime. (bheka kwabase-Efesu 6:10-17)

Akuyona indaba yokuzikhandla uzizwe uthukuthele, kodwa ukuma eqinisweni: Usindisiwe, ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu, indlalifa yoMbuso, kanye nomkhululi wemiphefumulo kanye noKristu. Awuyena isisulu, kodwa ungumnqobi.

Ubizelwe ekuhlangulweni okukhulu.
