UmBhalo - KuFakazi Wethu WobuKristu

Bafowenu nodade: Lwela ngokulangazela ukuthola izipho ezingokomoya ezinkulu kakhulu. Kepha ngizokukhombisa enye indlela enhle kakhulu…

Uthando luyabekezela, uthando lunomusa.
Ayinamona, ayizikhukhumezi,
Ayikhukhumezeki, ayideleli,
aluzifuneli izinzuzo zalo siqu,
aluthukutheli ngokushesha, alukhumbuli ukulimala,
aluthokozi ngokwenza okubi
kodwa lithokoza ngeqiniso.
Lubekezelela izinto zonke, lukholwa yizo zonke izinto,
luthemba izinto zonke, lukhuthazelela zonke izinto.

Uthando aluhluleki. -Isifundo Sesibili SangeSonto

 

Siphila ehoreni lapho uqhekeko olukhulu luhlukanisa ngisho namaKristu - noma ngabe ipolitiki noma imithi yokugoma, igebe elikhulayo lingokoqobo futhi livame ukuba muncu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iSonto LamaKatolika, ebusweni balo, seliphenduke “isikhungo” esigcwele amahlazo, ezezimali nezocansi, futhi sihlushwa ubuholi obubuthaka obumane bulondoloze ubulungiswa. isimo sezwe samanje kunokusakaza uMbuso kaNkulunkulu. 

Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, UPapa, iSonto, Nezimpawu Zezikhathi: Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, k. 23-25

Ngaphezu kwalokho, eNyakatho Melika, ubuvangeli baseMelika buxube ezombangazwe nenkolo ngendlela yokuthi umuntu ahlotshaniswe nenye - futhi le mibono iye yasakazekela kwezinye izingxenye eziningi zomhlaba. Ngokwesibonelo, ukuba ngumKristu othembekile “ogcina imikhuba” kuwukuba yikho de facto "umsekeli kaTrump"; noma ukuphikisana neziyalezo zomgomo kufanele usuke “elungelweni lenkolo”; noma ukusekela izimiso zebhayibheli zokuziphatha, umuntu uthathwa ngokushesha ngokuthi "umdubuli webhayibheli" ohlulelayo, njll. Yebo, lezi izahlulelo ezibanzi eziyiphutha njengoba kucatshangwa ukuthi wonke umuntu "kwesokunxele" wamukela iMarxism noma kunjalo. - ibizwa ngokuthi "i-snowflake." Umbuzo uthi thina njengamaKristu silethe kanjani iVangeli phezu kwezindonga zezahlulelo ezinjalo? Siwuvala kanjani kwalasha phakathi kwethu kanye nombono omubi wokuthi izono zeBandla (nami) ziye zasakaza emhlabeni?

 

Indlela Ephumelela Kakhulu?

Umfundi wabelane nami ngale ncwadi ethinta inhliziyo Iqembu le-Now Word Telegram: 

Ukufundwa nekhaya eMiseni lanamuhla kuyinselele kancane kimi. Umlayezo, ofakazelwa ababoni banamuhla, owokuthi kudingeka sikhulume iqiniso naphezu kwemiphumela emibi engase ibe khona. NjengomKatolika ukuphila kwami ​​konke, ingokomoya lami belilokhu lingokomuntu siqu, nginokwesaba okungokwemvelo ukukhuluma nabangewona amakholwa ngakho. Futhi okuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​kwamaVangeli ahlambalaza iBhayibheli bekulokhu kuncibilika, ngicabanga ukuthi benza okubi kakhulu kunokuhle ngokuzama ukuguqulela abantu abangakuvuleli lokho abakushoyo - mhlawumbe izilaleli zabo ziqinisekiswa emibonweni yazo engemihle ngamaKristu. .  Bengilokhu ngibambelele emcabangweni wokuthi ungafakaza kakhulu ngezenzo zakho kunamazwi akho. Kodwa manje le nselelo evela ekufundweni kwanamuhla!  Mhlawumbe ngimane ngibe yigwala ngokuthula kwami? Inkinga yami ukuthi ngifuna ukwethembeka eNkosini nakuMama wethu Obusisiwe ekufakazeleni iqiniso - kokubili mayelana neqiniso leVangeli nezibonakaliso zamanje zezikhathi - kodwa nginovalo lokuthi ngizovele ngihlukanise abantu ubani ozocabanga ukuthi ngiwumcabango ohlanyayo wozungu noma umshisekeli wenkolo. Futhi kusizani lokho?  Ngakho ngicabanga ukuthi umbuzo wami uthi—ufakaza kanjani ngeqiniso ngempumelelo? Kimina kubonakala kuphuthuma ukusiza abantu kulezi zikhathi zobumnyama babone ukukhanya. Kodwa ungababonisa kanjani ukukhanya ngaphandle kokubaxosha ebumnyameni?

Engqungqutheleni yezenkolo eminyakeni eminingana edlule, uDkt. Ralph Martin, M. Omunye wathi “imfundiso yeBandla” (ukunxusa ingqondo) yayingcono kakhulu; omunye wathi “ubungcwele” bungabaqinisekisa kakhulu; isazi semfundiso yenkolo sesithathu saphetha ngokuthi, ngenxa yokuthi ukucabanga komuntu kuye kwenziwa mnyama kakhulu ngenxa yesono, ukuthi “okwakudingeka ngempela ukuze kuxhunyanwe ngokuphumelelayo nesiko lezwe kwakuwukuqiniseka okujulile ngeqiniso lokukholwa okuholela umuntu ekubeni azimisele ukufela ukholo; ukufela ukholo.”

UDkt. Martin uyaqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zinto zibalulekile ekudlulisweni kokholo. Kodwa ngoSt. Paul, uthi, “okwakuhlanganisa ngokuyinhloko indlela yakhe yokuxhumana nesiko elizungezile kwakuwukumenyezelwa kweVangeli ngesibindi nangokuqiniseka. ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Ngamazwi akhe”:

Mina-ke, bazalwane, ekufikeni kwami ​​kini, angibanga ngamazwi okukhuluma noma ngefilosofi, kodwa ukuze nginitshele lokho uNkulunkulu akuqinisekisile. Ngesikhathi nginani, ulwazi kuphela engangithi nginalo kwakungoJesu, futhi ngaye kuphela njengoKristu obethelwe esiphambanweni. Ngokude nokuthembela kunoma yimaphi amandla ami siqu, ngafika phakathi kwenu ‘ngokwesaba nokuthuthumela’ okukhulu futhi ezinkulumweni zami nasezintshumayelweni engangizinikeza, kwakungekho neyodwa yezimpikiswano ezingokwefilosofi; kuphela ukubonakaliswa kwamandla kaMoya. Ngenze lokhu ukuze ukholo lwenu lunganciki ekuhlakanipheni kwabantu kodwa lube semandleni kaNkulunkulu. (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 2:1-5.) I-Jerusalem Bible, 1968)

UDkt Martin uphetha ngokuthi: “Kudingeka ukunakwa okuqhubekayo kwezenkolo/kobufundisi kukhokhwe kulokho okushiwo “amandla kaMoya” kanye “namandla kaNkulunkulu” emsebenzini wonke wobuvangeli. Ukunaka okunjalo kubalulekile uma, njengoba iMagisterium yakamuva isho, kudingeka kube nePentecost entsha^[1]qhathanisa Konke umehluko futhi Okuhehayo? Ingxenye VI ukuze kube nevangeli elisha.”^[2]“IPhentekoste Elisha? Imfundiso yenkolo yamaKhatholika kanye “noBhapathizo Emoyeni”, nguDkt. Ralph Martin, p. 1. nb. Angikwazi ukuthola lo mbhalo ku-inthanethi okwamanje (ikhophi yami kungenzeka ukuthi bekungakalungiswa), kuphela lokhu ngaphansi kwesihloko esifanayo

… UMoya oNgcwele ungummeli ophambili wobuvangeli: nguyena ophoqa umuntu ngamunye ukuba amemezele iVangeli, futhi nguyena ekujuleni konembeza owenza ukuba izwi lensindiso lamukelwe futhi liqondwe. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 74; www.v Vatican.va

… INkosi yayivula inhliziyo yayo ukuthi inake okwakushiwo nguPawulu. (Izenzo 16: 14)

 

Ukuphila Kwangaphakathi

Ekucabangeni kwami ​​kokugcina Ivuse Isipho, Ngakhuluma ngayo kanye le nto futhi kafushane Kanjani ukugcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele. Ocwaningweni olubalulekile kanye nemibhalo kaFr. Kilian McDonnell, OSB, STD kanye noFr. George T. Montague SM, S.TH.D.,^[3]isb. Vula iWindows, The Popes and Charismatic Renewal, Ukuthanda i-Flame futhi Ukuqaliswa KobuKristu Nokubhapathizwa Ngomoya — Ubufakazi Bekhulu Lokuqala Eight abonisa ukuthi eBandleni lokuqala okuthiwa “ubhapathizo ngoMoya oNgcwele,” lapho ikholwa ligcwaliswa ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, ngentshiseko entsha, ukholo, izipho, ukulambela iZwi, umuzwa wokuthunywa. njll., yayiyingxenye nengxenye yamakhathekhumeni asanda kubhapathizwa - ngoba ayenjalo kwakhiwe kulokhu okulindelekile. Babevame ukuzwa eminye yemiphumela efanayo ebonakala izikhathi eziningi ngomnyakazo wezinsuku zanamuhla Wokuvuselela I-Charismatic.^[4]qhathanisa Okuhehayo? Nokho, phakathi namakhulu eminyaka, njengoba iBandla selidlule ezigabeni ezihlukahlukene zobuhlakani, ukungabaza, futhi ekugcineni ukucabangela,^[5]qhathanisa Rationalism, kanye nokufa kwemfihlakalo izimfundiso mayelana nezenzo zomusa zikaMoya oNgcwele kanye nokugcizelela ebuhlotsheni bomuntu siqu noJesu sekunciphile. ISakramente LokuQinisekisa seliphenduke inkambiso nje ezindaweni eziningi, njengomkhosi wokuthweswa iziqu esikhundleni sokulindela ukugcwaliswa okujulile ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuze athumele umfundi ekuphileni okujulile kuKristu. Isibonelo, abazali bami bafundisa udadewethu ngesipho sezilimi kanye nokulindela ukuthola umusa omusha kuMoya oNgcwele. Lapho umbhishobhi ebeka izandla ekhanda lakhe ukuze anikeze iSakramente Lokuqinisekisa, ngokushesha waqala ukukhuluma ngezilimi. 

Ngakho-ke, enhliziyweni yalokhu 'kukhulula'^[6]"Imfundiso yenkolo yamaKatolika iyawuqaphela umqondo wesakramente elisebenzayo kodwa “eliboshiwe”. Isidlo esingcwele sibizwa ngokuthi siboshiwe uma isithelo okufanele sihambisane nalo sihlala siboshiwe ngenxa yamabhulokhi athile avimbela ukusebenza kwaso.” —UFr. Raneiro Cantalamessa, OFMCap, Ubhapathizo ngoMoya kaMoya oNgcwele, onikezwa ikholwa eMbhapathizweni, empeleni inhliziyo efana nengane efuna ngobuqotho ubuhlobo obuseduze noJesu.^[7]qhathanisa Ubudlelwane Bomuntu Siqu NoJesu “Mina ngingumVini, nina ningamagatsha,” Wathi. “Ohlala kimi uyakuthela izithelo eziningi.^[8]isib. Johane 15:5 Ngithanda ukucabanga ngoMoya oNgcwele njengobisi. Futhi ngaleliNceku Elingcwele, uJesu wathi:

Noma ngubani okholwa kimi, njengoba umbhalo usho, 'Kuyogeleza kuye imifula yamanzi aphilayo.' Ukusho lokhu ekhuluma ngoMoya ukuthi labo abazokholwa kuye bazokwamukela. (UJohn 7: 38-39)

Yiyo kanye le Mifula Yamanzi Aphilayo umhlaba owomele yona - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayakuqaphela noma cha. Futhi yingakho umKristu “ogcwele uMoya” ebaluleke kakhulu ukuze abangakholwa bahlangane—hhayi ukukhanga komuntu, ubuhlakani bakhe, noma ubuhlakani bakhe—kodwa “amandla kaNkulunkulu.”

Ngakho, i impilo yangaphakathi kwekholwa kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngomthandazo, ukusondelana noJesu, ukuzindla ngeZwi laKhe, ukwamukela uMthendeleko, Ukuvuma izono lapho siwa, ukuphindaphinda kanye nokwahlukaniselwa kuMariya, umngane womshado kaMoya oNgcwele, nokunxusa uBaba ukuba athumele amaza kaMoya amasha empilweni yakho… I-Divine Sap izoqala ukugeleza.

Bese-ke, engingakusho ukuthi “isimo sangaphambili” sokuvangela ngempumelelo siqala ukubakhona.^[9]Futhi angiqondile endaweni ephelele, njengoba sonke “siyizitsha zobumba,” njengoba uPawulu asho. Kunalokho, singabapha kanjani abanye lokho thina esingenakho? 

 

Impilo Yangaphandle

Lapha, ikholwa kufanele liqaphele ukuthi lingaweli ohlotsheni oluthile ukuthula lapho umuntu engena khona emkhulekweni ojulile nasekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu, kodwa abese ephuma ngaphandle kokuguquka kweqiniso. Uma i ukoma komhlaba, kubuye kube yiqiniso.

Leli khulu leminyaka linxanelwe ubuqiniso… Uyayishumayela yini into oyiphilayo? Umhlaba ulindele kithi ubulula bempilo, umoya womthandazo, ukulalela, ukuthobeka, ukugoba kanye nokuzidela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla, 22, 76

Ngakho, cabanga ngomthombo wamanzi. Ukuze umthombo ubambe amanzi, kufanele kufakwe imbobo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi itshe, umhume noma ipayipi. Lesi sakhiwo-ke siyakwazi ukubamba amanzi futhi kwenze abanye bakwazi ukudonsa kuwo. Kungobudlelwane obujulile nobeqiniso bomuntu siqu noJesu lapho umgodi osenhlabathini (okungukuthi enhliziyweni) ugcwaliswa “ngazo zonke izibusiso zomoya ezulwini.”^[10]I-Eph 1: 3 Kodwa ngaphandle uma ikholwa libeka imbobo endaweni, lawo manzi angeke anele avumele inzika ihlale ukuze kuphela. okumsulwa amanzi asele. 

I-casing-ke, impilo yangaphandle yekholwa, ephilwa ngokweVangeli. Futhi ingafinyezwa ngegama elilodwa: uthando. 

Woyithanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. Lona ngumyalo omkhulu kunayo yonke nowokuqala. Owesibili ofana nawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. (Math 22: 37-39)

Ezifundweni zeMisa kuleli sonto, uSt. Paul ukhuluma ngale "ndlela enhle kakhulu" eyedlula izipho zomoya zezilimi, izimangaliso, ukuprofetha, njll. IyiNdlela Yothando. Ngokwezinga elithile, ngokugcwalisa ingxenye yokuqala yalomyalo ngothando olujulile noluhlala njalo lukaKristu ngokuzindla ngeZwi laKhe, ukuhlala ebukhoneni Bakhe njalo, njll. umuntu angagcwaliswa uthando lokunikeza umakhelwane wakhe. 

... uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo. ( Roma 5:5 )

Kukangaki ngiphuma esikhathini somkhuleko, noma ngemva kokwamukela uMthendeleko, ngigcwele uthando oluvuthayo lomndeni wami kanye nomphakathi! Kodwa kukangaki ngilubona luncipha lolu thando ngoba izindonga zomthombo wami azimile. Ukuthanda, njengoba uSt. Paul echaza ngenhla — “uthando luyabekezela, uthando lumnene… alusheshi ukucasuka, alunagqubu” njll. ukukhetha. Kuyinto ngamabomu, usuku nosuku, ukubeka amatshe othando endaweni, ngamunye ngamunye. Kodwa uma singanakile, uma sinobugovu, sivilapha, futhi simatasatasa ngezinto zezwe, amatshe angawa futhi wonke umthombo ugoqeke kuwo! Yebo, yilokhu okwenziwa isono: singcolisa Amanzi Aphilayo ezinhliziyweni zethu futhi sivimbele abanye ukuba bafinyelele kuwo. Ngakho noma ngingacaphuna uMbhalo izwi nezwi; noma ngikwazi ukusho izinkulumo zezenkolo futhi ngiqambe izintshumayelo, izinkulumo nezinkulumo ezinobuciko; noma nginokholo lokugudluza izintaba... uma ngingenalo uthando, angiyinto yalutho. 

 

Indlela - Indlela

Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi “indlela yokusebenza” yokuvangela incane kakhulu esikwenzayo nokunye okuningi ukuthi singobani. Njengabaholi bokudumisa nokukhulekela, singacula izingoma noma singacula yiba yingoma. Njengabapristi, singenza amasiko amaningi amahle noma esingawenza abe isiko. Njengabafundisi, singakhuluma amagama amaningi noma abe yiZwi. 

Umuntu wanamuhla ubalalela ngokuzithandela ofakazi kunothisha, futhi uma ebalalela othisha, kungenxa yokuthi bangofakazi. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 41; v Vatican.va

Ukuba ngufakazi weVangeli kusho ukuthi: ukuthi ngiwabonile amandla kaNkulunkulu empilweni yami futhi ngingafakaza ngakho. Indlela yokushumayela iwukuba nguMthombo oPhilayo lapho abanye ‘banganambitha babone ukuthi iNkosi ilungile.^[11]IHubo 34: 9 Kokubili ingaphandle nengaphakathi loMthombo kumele kube khona. 

Nokho, siyobe senza iphutha uma sicabanga ukuthi lesi yisamba sobuvangeli.  

… Akwanele ukuthi abantu abangamaKristu babekhona futhi bahleleke esizweni esinikeziwe, futhi akwanele ukwenza ubuphostoli ngesibonelo esihle. Bahlelelwe le njongo, bakhona kulokhu: ukumemezela uKristu kubantu abakanye nabo abangebona abaKrestu ngezwi nangesibonelo, nokubasiza ekwamukelweni ngokugcwele kukaKristu. - UMkhandlu Wesibili WaseVatican, Abezikhangiso, n. 15; v Vatican.va

… Ufakazi ongcono kunabo bonke uzobonakala engaphumeleli ekugcineni uma ungachazwa, ulungisiswe… futhi ucaciswe ngesimemezelo seNkosi uJesu esicacile futhi esingangabazeki. Izindaba Ezinhle ezimenyezelwa ngofakazi bokuphila kungekudala noma ngezithuba ezithile kufanele zishunyayelwe ngezwi lokuphila. Akukho kushunyayelwa kweqiniso uma igama, imfundiso, impilo, izithembiso, umbuso nemfihlakalo kaJesu waseNazaretha, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu kungamenyezelwa. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 22; v Vatican.va

Konke lokhu kuyiqiniso. Kodwa njengoba incwadi engenhla ibuza, umuntu wazi kanjani nini isikhathi esifanele sokukhuluma noma cha? Okokuqala ukuthi kufanele sizilahlekele. Uma sithembekile, ukungabaza kwethu ukuhlanganyela iVangeli ngokuvamile kungenxa yokuthi asifuni ukugconwa, ukwenqatshwa noma ukuhlekwa - hhayi ngoba umuntu ophambi kwethu engavulekele iVangeli. Lapha, amazwi kaJesu kumele ahlale ehambisana nomvangeli (okungukuthi. wonke amakholwa abhapathiziwe):

Noma ubani othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyolahlekelwa yikho, kodwa noma ubani olahlekelwa ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami nangenxa yezindaba ezinhle uyokusindisa. (Maka 8: 35)

Uma sicabanga ukuthi singaba amaKristu eqiniso emhlabeni futhi singashushiswa, singabakhohliswa kakhulu kunabo bonke. Njengoba sizwe uSt. Paul esho ngesonto eledlule, “uNkulunkulu akasinikanga umoya wobugwala kodwa wasinika amandla, nothando, nokuzithiba.^[12]qhathanisa Ivuse Isipho Ngokuphathelene nalokho, uPapa Paul VI usisiza ngendlela elinganiselayo:

Ngokuqinisekile kungaba yiphutha ukuphoqa okuthile konembeza babafowethu. Kepha ukuphakamisa konembeza babo iqiniso leVangeli nokusindiswa okukuJesu Kristu, ngokucaca okuphelele nangokuhlonipha okuphelele izinketho zamahhala ezikulethayo… kude nokuhlaselwa kwenkululeko yezenkolo ngokuphelele ukuhlonipha leyo nkululeko… Kungani kufanele ngamanga nephutha kuphela, ukwehliswa kwezithombe zocansi kanye nezithombe zobulili ezingcolile zinelungelo lokubekwa phambi kwabantu futhi kaningi, ngeshwa, zibekwe kubo yinkulumo-ze ebhubhisayo yemidiya ...? Ukwethulwa okunenhlonipho ngoKristu nombuso waKhe kungaphezu kwelungelo lomvangeli; kungumsebenzi wakhe. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 80; v Vatican.va

Kodwa sazi kanjani lapho umuntu esekulungele ukuzwa iVangeli, noma lapho ukufakaza kwethu buthule kungaba izwi elinamandla? Kule mpendulo, siphendukela kuSibonelo sethu, iNkosi yethu uJesu emazwini Akhe kuNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta:

…UPilatu wangibuza: 'Kanjani lokhu - Wena uyiNkosi?!' Ngathi kuye masinyane: 'NgiyiNkosi, futhi ngizé emhlabeni ukufundisa iQiniso...' Ngalokhu, ngangifuna ukungena engqondweni yakhe ukuze ngizazise; kangangokuthi, wangithinta, wangibuza: 'Liyini Iqiniso?' Kodwa akalindanga impendulo yami; Angibanga nakho okuhle kokuzenza ngiqonde. Bengiyothi kuye: ‘NgiyiQiniso; konke KuyiQiniso Kimi. Iqiniso ukubekezela kwami ​​phakathi kwezinhlamba eziningi; Iqiniso liwubukhazikhazi bami phakathi kokuhlekwa okuningi, ukunyundela, ukudelelwa. Amaqiniso ayindlela yami emnene futhi ekhangayo phakathi kwezitha eziningi, eziNgizondayo kuyilapho Ngizithanda, nezifuna ukuNginika ukufa, kuyilapho Ngifuna ukuzamukela futhi ngizinike UkuPhila. Amaqiniso angamazwi ami, agcwele isithunzi kanye Nokuhlakanipha KwaseZulwini — konke Kuyiqiniso Kimi. IQiniso lingaphezu kweLanga elibabazekayo okuthi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bazama kangakanani ukulinyathela, liphuma lilihle kakhulu futhi ligqame, lize lihlaze izitha zalo, futhi liziwise phansi ezinyaweni zalo. UPilatu wangibuza ngobuqotho benhliziyo, futhi ngase ngilungele ukuphendula. UHerode, esikhundleni salokho, wangibuza ngonya nangokufuna ukwazi, futhi angizange ngimphendule. Ngakho-ke, kulabo abafuna ukwazi izinto ezingcwele ngobuqotho, Ngiziveza ngaphezu kwalokho abakulindele; kodwa ngalabo abafuna ukubazi ngonya nelukuluku, Ngiyazifihla, futhi ngenkathi befuna ukuhlekisa Ngami, ngiyabadida futhi ngibenze inhlekisa. Nokho, njengoba uMuntu wami wayephethe iQiniso ngokwalo, Lafeza isikhundla salo naphambi kukaHerode. Ukuthula kwami ​​emibuzweni eyisivunguvungu kaHerode, ukubuka kwami ​​okuthobekile, umoya woBuntu bami, konke okugcwele ubumnandi, isithunzi nobukhosi, konke kwakungamaQiniso—namaQiniso asebenzayo.” —Juni 1, 1922, Volume 14

Kuhle kangakanani lokho?

Kafushane-ke, ake ngisebenze ngihlehle. Ukushumayela ivangeli ngempumelelo esikweni lethu lobuqaba kudinga ukuthi singaxolisi ngeVangeli, kodwa silethule kubo njengesipho esiyiso. UPawulu oNgcwele uthi: “Shumayela izwi, uqinise ngenkathi nenkathi engafanele, usole, ukhuze, uyale, ungahluleki ekubekezeleni nasekufundiseni.^[13]I-2 Timothy 4: 2 Kodwa lapho abantu bevala umnyango? Bese uvala umlomo wakho - futhi kalula zibathande njengoba benjalo, lapho bekhona. Lolu thando yindlela yokuphila yangaphandle, ke, eyenza umuntu oxhumana naye akwazi ukudonsa emanzini aphilayo okuphila kwakho kwangaphakathi, okungamandla kaMoya oNgcwele ekugcineni. Ukuphuza kancane nje kwesinye isikhathi kwanele kulowo muntu, emashumini eminyaka kamuva, ukuthi ekugcineni anikele izinhliziyo zakhe kuJesu.

Ngakho, mayelana nemiphumela... lokho kuphakathi kwabo noNkulunkulu. Uma ukwenzile lokhu, qiniseka ukuthi uyowezwa amazwi ngolunye usuku, “Kuhle, nceku yaMi enhle nethembekile.”^[14]I-Matt 25: 23
