I kade exoxisana muva nje nomuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu (ekugcineni wayeka). Ekuqaleni kwezingxoxo zethu, ngamchazela ukuthi ukukholelwa kwami ​​kuJesu Kristu kwakuhlobene kancane nezimangaliso eziqinisekiswa ngokwesayensi zokuphulukisa okungokwenyama, imimoya, nabangcwele abangenakonakala, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho kwakuhlobene neqiniso lokuthi mina. ukwazi UJesu (njengoba esezibonakalise kimi). Kodwa wagcizelela ukuthi lokhu kwakungekuhle ngokwanele, ukuthi ngangingenangqondo, ngikhohliswe inganekwane, ngicindezelwe iBandla lezinzalamizi… niyazi, i-diatribe evamile. Wayefuna ngiphinde ngikhiqizele uNkulunkulu esitsheni se-petri, futhi-ke, angicabangi ukuthi Wayezimisele ngakho.

Ngathi ngifunda amazwi akhe, kwaba sengathi uzama ukutshela indoda esanda kuphuma emvuleni ukuthi ayimanzi. Namanzi engikhuluma ngawo lana Umfula Wokuphila.

UJesu wasukuma wamemeza wathi: “Noma ubani owomileyo makeze kimi anathe. Okholwa yimi, njengokusho kombhalo, imifula yamanzi aphilayo iyakugobhoza phakathi kwakhe. Wakusho lokhu ebhekise kuMoya… (Johane 7:38-39)

Lobu wubufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bukaJesu Kristu kumakholwa. Kuwubufakazi obashukumisa izinkulungwane ukuba ngokuzithandela zidele ukuphila kwazo ngenxa Yakhe ekhulwini lokuqala kuphela. Kuwubufakazi obaholela abanye abangenakubalwa ukuba bashiye konke futhi bamemezele Yena kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba. Kuwubufakazi obuye baholela ososayensi, izazi zesayensi yemvelo, izazi zezibalo, nabanye bongqondongqondo abakhulu emlandweni ukuba baguqe egameni likaJesu. Ngoba imifula yamanzi aphilayo yayigeleza emiphefumulweni yabo.

Kepha umuntu ongeyena ongokomoya akakwamukeli okukaMoya kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba kungubuwula kuye, futhi akanakukuqonda, ngokuba kuqondakala ngokomoya. (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 2:14.)

Umthombo omkhulu waloMfula, umthombo wenjabulo, uvela e- ohlangothini lukaKristu, owafanekiselwa kusengaphambili embonweni wethempeli:

…ungaphambili lwethempeli lwalubheke empumalanga; amanzi ehla esuka kwesokudla sethempeli… (Isifundo sokuqala)

Umfula owadedelwa phansi kwesiphambano lapho isosha limgwaza ohlangothini, kwagobhoza igazi namanzi. ^[1]isib. Joh 19:34 LoMfula omkhulu wawungesona isiphetho, kodwa wawuyisiqalo sempilo yeBandla, “idolobha likaNkulunkulu.”

Kukhona umfudlana omfula wawo uthokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indlu engcwele yoPhezukonke. (Ihubo Lanamuhla)

Lomfula ungokoqobo futhi unikeza ukuphila kumKristu, ngoba lowo ovule inhliziyo yakhe kuwo “anganambitha abone ubuhle beNkosi” isithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele.

Emaphethelweni womabili omfula kuyakumila imithi yezithelo ngezinhlobo zazo; amaqabunga awo awayikubuna, nesithelo sawo ngeke sibunise... isithelo sikaMoya siluthando, nokujabula, nokuthula, nokubekezela, nobubele, nobuvi, nokuthembeka, nobumnene, nokuzithiba. ( Gal 5:22-23 )

Futhi njengoba sifakaza eVangelini namuhla, “izithelo zabo ziyakuba-ngukudla, namaqabunga awo abe yimithi.” Namuhla, abaningi emhlabeni baye baphendukela esayensini iyodwa njengekhambi lazo zonke izinkinga zomuntu, njengoba nje abantu bosuku lukaKristu baphendukela echibini laseBethesda, elalingaphulukisa umzimba, kodwa hhayi umphefumulo.

… Labo abalandela ubuhlakani besimanjemanje [uFrancis Bacon] abukhuthazayo babenephutha ekukholweni ukuthi umuntu uzohlengwa ngesayensi. Ukulindela okunjalo kufuna isayensi kakhulu; lolu hlobo lwethemba luyakhohlisa. Isayensi ingasiza kakhulu ekwenzeni umhlaba nesintu sibe ngabantu. Noma kunjalo futhi ingabhubhisa isintu nomhlaba ngaphandle kokuthi kuqondiswe amandla alala ngaphandle kwawo. —BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Encyclical, Isikhulumi uSalvi,n. 25

Umfula wokuPhila awubhubhisi, kodwa uyaphilisa. Ngakho uJesu uthi endodeni eyayiyisishosha: “Bheka, uphilile; ungabe usona, funa wehlelwe okubi nakakhulu. Okusho ukuthi, ukuphulukiswa kwangempela uJesu eze ukuzokuletha kungokwenhliziyo, futhi lapho esephulukisiwe...

Akwenzeki kithi ukuba singakhulumi ngesikubonileyo nesikuzwileyo… (Izenzo 4:20)

Ngempela, intokozo emsulwa isebudlelwaneni noKristu, okuhlangatshezwana nabo, okulandelwayo, okwaziwayo, nokuthandwa, ngenxa yomzamo oqhubekayo wengqondo nenhliziyo. Ukuba ngumfundi kaKristu: kumKristu lokhu kwanele. —BENEDICT XVI, Inkulumo ka-Angelus, Januwari 15, 2006
