KAKHULU ixhomeke ekuVukeni kukaJesu Kristu. Njengoba uSt. Paul esho namuhla:

… Uma uKristu engavuswanga, nokushumayela kwethu akusizi ngalutho; akunalutho futhi, ukholo lwakho. (Ukufunda kokuqala)

Konke kuyize uma uJesu engaphili namuhla. Kungasho ukuthi ukufa kunqobe konke futhi “Nisesezonweni zenu.”

Kodwa yiVuko impela elenza noma yimuphi umqondo weSonto lokuqala. Ngiqonde ukuthi, uma uKristu wayengavukanga, kungani abalandeli baKhe beya ekufeni kwabo ngesihluku befuna amanga, amanga, nethemba elincanyana? Akufani nokuthi babezama ukwakha inhlangano enamandla — bakhethe impilo yobumpofu nomsebenzi. Uma kukhona ongakwenza, ungacabanga ukuthi lawa madoda ayezovele alulahle ukholo lwawo ebusweni babashushisi bawo athi, “Bheka-ke, bekuyiminyaka emithathu sihlala noJesu! Kodwa cha, usehambile manje, futhi yilokho. ” Ukuphela kwento enengqondo ngokuguquka kwabo okunamandla ngemuva kokufa Kwakhe yilokho bambona evuka kwabafileyo.

Hhayi laba baPhostoli bodwa, kepha inqwaba yamapapa okuqala nabo babengabafel 'ukholo — bona nezinkulungwane zabanye, bonke bethi babulala uhlangabezane nayo amandla aguqula impilo kaJesu ngomyalezo weSiphambano, njengoSt. Januarius. 

… Simemezela uKristu ebethelwe, isikhubekiso kumaJuda nobuphukuphuku kwabeZizwe, kodwa kulabo ababiziweyo, amaJuda namaGreki ngokufanayo, uKristu ongamandla kaNkulunkulu nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu. (1 Kor 1: 23-24)

Ngiqonde ukuthi, namhlanje, sizwa izinkulumo eziningi ezikhuthazayo kanye nokuqonda okuhlakaniphile kokuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani impilo yomuntu. Kodwa ungabafela? Kodwa-ke, kunokuthile eVangelini okuhambisa abantu kulo mongo wobuntu babo, obuguqulayo futhi obuguqulayo ukuze babe "indalo entsha" ngokoqobo. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi “uLizwi kaNkulunkulu” nguJesu, lo IZwi lenziwa inyama.

Ngempela, izwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila futhi liyasebenza, libukhali kunanoma iyiphi inkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, lingena phakathi komphefumulo nomoya, amalunga nomnkantsha, futhi liyakwazi ukubona ukucabanga nemicabango yenhliziyo. (Heb 4:12)

IVangeli lanamuhla lisinikeza ukuqonda ukuthi kungani abaningi benikele ngokuphila kwabo ngokulandela uJesu Kristu — ngoba wabanikela ngempilo yabo kubo:

Babehamba naye kwakukhona abayishumi nambili kanye nabesifazane abathile ababephulukiswe emimoyeni emibi nasezifweni, uMariya, othiwa uMagdalena, okwakuphume kuye amademoni ayisikhombisa.

Ngakuqonda ukuthi iSonto lalinenhliziyo, futhi le Nhliziyo yayivutha uthando. Ngakuqonda ukuthi nguthando kuphela olunika amalungu eSonto: ukuthi uma uthando luzocinywa, abaPhostoli babengeke besalimemezela iVangeli, abafel 'ukholo bazokwenqaba ukuchitha igazi labo… —USt. UTheresa woMntwana uJesu, Umbhalo Wesandla B, vs. 3

Futhi ngemuva kweminyaka engu-2000, akukho okushintshile. Ngicabanga ubufakazi besifebe esalala namadoda angaphezu kwenkulungwane. Kepha wahlangana noJesu namandla aKhe, waguquka, washada. Uthe eholidini labo langemva komshado, bekufana "nesikhathi sokuqala." Ngilalele ubufakazi ngemuva kobufakazi babesilisa nabesifazane ngokufanayo abebekhululwe ngendlela engaqondakali emimoyeni emibi, ekuphuzeni ngokweqile, enikotini nasezidakamizweni zezidakamizwa, ukuluthwa ucansi, ukuhaha, ukulangazelela amandla… ungakusho konke lokhu — egameni likaJesu.

Futhi uKristu uyaqhubeka nokuvusa abafileyo. Umngani wami, uStan Rutherford ongasekho, ubesefe amahora amaningi engozini embi yezimboni. Wamakwa wafakwa emakhazeni asesibhedlela, lapho ayecabanga ukuthi uyindelakazi encane, wamthinta esiphongweni, "wamvusa", wamtshela ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuya emsebenzini (kamuva wathola ukuthi kwakunguMama Obusisiwe, njengoba ayengumPentekoste ngaleso sikhathi). Bese kuba nendaba kamfundisi uDaniel Ekechukwu waseNigeria owayeshonile wagqunyiswa kancane cishe izinsuku ezimbili ngemuva kwengozi yemoto, owaphila ngokungazelelwe emngcwabeni wakhe. ^[1]qhathanisa Umoya Nsuku Zonke Ufuna ukuzwa okwengeziwe? UFr. U-Albert Hebert waqoqa izindaba eziyi-400 eziyiqiniso ^[2]qhathanisa Abangcwele Abavusa Abafileyo, Izincwadi ze-TAN labangcwele abavusa abafileyo. Kunobufakazi obungapheli obudalula amandla oVuko.

Futhi-ke kunezindaba ezinhle kakhulu zesithunywa sevangeli saseCanada esingasekho uFr. U-Emiliano Tardif owayenenkonzo enamandla yokuphulukisa. Lapho engena kwelinye idolobha, wayezibuza ukuthi kungani abantu bengezi esontweni. Isonto elithile laphendula, “Ngoba ubasulise bonke!” ^[3]bheka UJesu Uyaphila Namuhla! Lezi kwakuyizimangaliso zokushabalala komdlavuza, ukubona kwamehlo, nezitho zokwakheka kabusha phambi kwamehlo abo.

Bafowethu nodadewethu, njengoba iSiphepho esingena kuso siba mnyama futhi siba nolaka ngokwengeziwe, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi uJesu akafanga — Uvukile! Futhi Nguye izolo, namuhla, naphakade. ^[4]isib. Heb 13: 8

Lindela izimangaliso. Lindela izimpawu nezimangaliso. Lindela ukuthi akusebenzise.

Khombisa umusa wakho omangalisayo, Msindisi wababalekela izitha zabo ukuphephela ngakwesokunene sakho. (Ihubo lanamuhla)

Lezi zibonakaliso ziyohambisana nalabo abakholwayo: egameni lami bayokhipha amadimoni, bazokhuluma izilimi ezintsha. Bazolanda izinyoka [ngezandla zabo], futhi uma bephuza noma yini ebulalayo, ngeke ibalimaze. Bazobeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, futhi bazolulama. (Marku 16: 17-18)
