UJuda noPetru (imininingwane evela 'Isidlo Sakusihlwa Sokugcina'), nguLeonardo da Vinci (1494-1498)
THE Bashaqeka abaphostoli lapho betshelwa lokho omunye wabo angayikhaphela iNkosi. Ngempela, yiyona okungacabangeki. Ngakho uPetru, ngomzuzwana wokucasuka, mhlawumbe ngisho nokuzibona elungile, uqala ukubheka abafowabo ngokusola. Ngenxa yokuntula ukuthobeka ukuze azibonele enhliziyweni yakhe, uqala ukuthola iphutha lomunye—futhi aze enze uJohn amenzele lo msebenzi ongcolile:
USimoni Petru waqhweba kuye ukuze athole ukuthi [uJesu] usho ukuthini. (Ivangeli Lanamuhla)
Ebona manje ukuthi uJuda ozomkhaphela, uPetru, ekhukhumele, umemezela ngesibindi ukuthi uzolandela uJesu nomaphi lapho eya khona. Kodwa uJehova ubona ngemvelo eguquguqukayo yendalo Yakhe ewile bese ephendula:
Ungadela ukuphila kwakho ngenxa yami? Amen, amen, ngithi kuwe, iqhude ngeke ukhale ungakangiphiki kathathu.
Yeka indlela esishesha ngayo ukuskena izihloko zezindaba futhi sinikine amakhanda ethu sibheka abahedeni! Yeka ukuthi sishesha kangakanani ukulinganisa amehlo enhlamba kozakwethu abangamaqaba kanye nesifunda nabo ekilasini. Yeka indlela esishesha ngayo ukubona ukuthi ubani oze eMiseni nongafikanga, othandaza njengami, ocula njengami, oshaya izithupha zerosari, oguqayo, oguqayo, omnikelo wakhe uyiphepha nomnikelo wabo “ongamaqhwisha.” Ah! Yeka indlela esishesha ngayo ukugxeka abapristi bethu, ukugxeka ababhishobhi bethu, ngisho nokusola uPapa! Singabakhethiweyo! Thina siyinsali! Thina singabangcwele! Sigcina umthetho! SingamaKhatholika eqiniso! Asisoze samkhaphela!
Futhi uJesu uphendukela kithi futhi athi.
Ngalo kanye leli hora, nizophazamiseka futhi nikhohlwe ubukhona Bami. Ngalo kanye lolu suku, uzokhetha ukuzithanda wena ngaphezu Kwami, ukhonze wena ngaphezu komakhelwane wakho, ukubuka njalo izithombe zakho, ikakhulukazi isithixo sakho...
Bafowethu nodade, umhlaba ngeke usakwazi ukuphunyuka ekukhanyeni kwelanga njengoba singakwazi ukubalekela ukukhanya kweqiniso kulawa mazwi. Uma sithembekile, kufanele sikuvume lokho nsuku zonke senza "okungacabangeki." Ngokuba ukuthanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kuyo yonke inhliziyo yakho, umphefumulo, namandla, kungumyalelo wokuqala—futhi ngubani kithi owugcinayo ihora nemizuzu yonke yosuku na? Uma besingabona ubuso bezingelosi zethu, zimangala ngokusivivi kwethu, besiyobona ukuthi into engaphansi kothando oluphelele lukaNkulunkulu wethu ophilayo yinto engacabangeki.
Gcina la mazwi eduze kwenhliziyo yakho noma nini lapho ulingeka ukuba wahlulele umakhelwane wakho. Nokho, ungalivumeli leli qiniso likuholele ekuphelelweni yithemba kukaJuda, kodwa ekuphendukeni kukaPetru. Ngosuku uPetru aba ngalo umuntu ngokwengeziwe kwakungelona iPhentekoste, kodwa ngalezo zikhathi zasekuseni zangoLwesihlanu Oluhle—ngemva nje kokukhala kweqhude. Kwakuwusuku athandeka ngalo ngokwengeziwe, ethobeke ngokwengeziwe, esobala ngokwengeziwe, ekulungele ngokwengeziwe ukuba ngumalusi womhlambi kaKristu ayebizelwe ukuba abe wona. Ngoba ngokuphazima kweso, “idwala” laba mnene futhi lazithoba enhliziyweni… izinyembezi zikaPetru zasusa noma yikuphi ukuzanelisa okwakusele.
Usuku esiyoqala ngalo ukuba nokuthula kwangaphakathi okusha yilapho singalokothi sikhulume kulowo moya wokulahlwa; lapho siyeka ukubamba uhlamvu lomthetho njenge-bludgeon phezu kwawo wonke umuntu (kodwa njengophaphe phezu kwethu). Isihluthulelo sokuqala ukuthanda abanye ngenhliziyo kaKristu ukunganaki amaphutha abo futhi ubheke awakho kuphela. Uma ubona ubuthakathaka nezono zomunye, phendukela kuwe masinyane uthi, “Awu, kodwa mina ngiyisoni esikhulu ngokwalawa maphutha nokunye okuningi. Jesu, Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele.”
Futhi Lowo oLuthando uqobo uyophonsa ukukubheka kwesihe esifanayo kuwe okwehlela phezu kukaPetru, ethi...
Mntanami, akukhona ukuphelela kodwa ukuthambekela okuthile okukwenza uthandeke kimi; hhayi ubungcwele, kodwa ukuthobeka. Lapho usuthambile, ngingabe sengiqala ukukuphelelisa; lapho uthobekile, lapho-ke ngingakwenza ngcwele ngokweqiniso. Mntwana Wenhliziyo Yami, ungesabi ukuzibona njengoba unjalo—njengoba ngikubona—ngoba naleli qiniso lizoqala ukukukhulula. Bheka ukuthi ngikuthanda kanjani! Ngelula izingalo Zami futhi ngafa negama lakho phezu kwezindebe Zami—ngisho nalapho wawungangazi, ngisho nalapho ucwiliswa esonweni.
Ngakho-ke thandani abanye, njengoba nje nami nginithandile...
O Nkulunkulu, ungifundisile kwasebusheni bami, futhi kuze kube manje ngimemezela izimangaliso zakho… (Ihubo Lanamuhla)
