Kufuneka senze umbono weCawa
Ngaba "Yiza ngeCawa" ibali lomoya okhaliphileyo okanye intlekele malunga nenkcubeko yenkolo enika abalandeli bayo izixhobo ezimbalwa zokwenza ukholo lwabo?
Kule minyaka ingama-25 idlulileyo, okanye kunjalo, ubuProtestanti obungengobizo babonakala buyinkolo ye-state of the American periphery kwaye kwezi uninzi kwezi cawa umfundisi ngamnye upopu. Abajongani neemfuno zemfundo kwaye uxanduva lwabo kuphela oluzayo xa ibhasikithi yokubonelela idlulisiwe. Ukuba izele yanele, lubabalo. Ukuba umshumayeli uxhuzula abathembekileyo ngendlela engalunganga, ukusebenzisa kakubi ukubathemba kwabo okanye umane ebaxelela izinto abangafuni kuva ngazo, bayemka.
Ke kwenzeka ntoni xa omnye waba befundisi esiba ngumprofeti? Ungathini xa esiva ngokunyanisekileyo umyalezo ovela kuThixo ocela umngeni ekuqinisekeni komhlambi wakhe? Eli libali elichazwe kwimovie yaseNetflix yentsusa yentsasa yiza ngeCawa, idrama esekwe kubomi bokwenyani kunye neziganeko. Kwaye, ngale ndlela, le vidiyo indenze ndanombulelo ongazenzisiyo wokuba lilungu lecawa enemfundiso egunyazisiweyo yokutolika iZibhalo ngokukhanya kwesizathu kunye nesiko.
UCarlton Pearson, umlinganiswa ophambili wooza ngeCawe, edlalwa nguChiwetel Ejiofor (uSolomon Northrup kwiminyaka eli-12 eyiKhoboka), wayeyintshatsheli yaseAfrika yaseMelika. Ugunyazisiwe ukuba ashumayele eneminyaka eyi-15, wagqiba kwiYunivesithi yaseOral Roberts (i-ORU) kwaye waba likhuselo lobuqu lomseki we-televangelist wesikolo. Kungekudala emva kokugqiba i-ORU, wahlala eTulsa waza wasungula iCawa ephakamileyo, edibeneyo kunye (ngokucacileyo) inkampani engabonakaliyo eyakhula ngokukhawuleza yaba ngamalungu angama-5.000 XNUMX. Ukushumayela nokucula kwakhe kwamenza wabalasela kwilizwe lobuvangeli. Wahamba kulo lonke ilizwe evakalisa ukungxamiseka kwamava obuKristu azelwe ngokutsha.
Ke umalume wakhe oneminyaka engama-70, ongazange eze kuYesu, wazixhonywa kwisisele sakhe sentolongo. Kungekudala emva koko, uPearson wavuka ezinzulwini zobusuku, etyibilika usana lwentombazana yakhe, xa wabona ingxelo yentambo ngokubulawa kohlanga, imfazwe nendlala kuCentral Africa. Kwifilimu, ngelixa imifanekiso yezidumbu zaseAfrika izalisa isikrini seTV, amehlo kaPearson agcwala iinyembezi. Uhlala kude kube sebusuku, elila, ecaphula iBhayibhile yakhe aze athandaze.
Kwimeko elandelayo sibona uPearson phambi kwebandla lakhe eliseColosseum exela okwenzekileyo ngobo busuku. Akakhalanga kuba abantu abamsulwa besweleka ngokungenalusini nokusweleka. Wayelila kuba abo bantu babesiya kwintuthumbo kanaphakade esihogweni.
Ngobo busuku bude, uPearson uthi, uThixo wamxelela ukuba lonke uluntu sele lusindisiwe kwaye luyakwamkelwa ebusweni bakhe. Ezi ndaba zibuliswa kukugcuma okuxhaphakileyo kunye nokudideka phakathi kwebandla kunye nomsindo ocacileyo ovela kubasebenzi abaphezulu. U-Pearson uchitha iveki elandelayo evaleleke kwi-motel yendawo kunye neBhayibhile yakhe, ezila ukutya ethandaza. U-Oral Roberts ngokwakhe (odlalwa nguMartin Sheen) ubonakalisa ukuxelela uPearson ukuba kufuneka acamngce ngamaRoma 10: 9, athi ukuze usindiswe kufuneka "uvume iNkosi uYesu ngomlomo wakho." URoberts uthembisa ukuba uza kuba secaweni iPearson ngeCawe elandelayo ukuze amve xa erhoxa.
Ukufika kweCawa, uPearson uthatha inqanaba kwaye, kunye noRoberts babukele, ngokungathandabuzekiyo ubamba amagama. Ukhangela iBhayibhile yakhe kumaRoma 10: 9 kwaye kubonakala ngathi uza kumoyisa, kodwa ajike ku-1 Yohane 2: 2: “. . . UYESU khristu . . . Ngumbingelelo wokucamagushela izono zethu, ingezizo ezethu kuphela kodwa nezongenxa yelizwe liphela “.
Njengoko uPearson ekhusela ubuntu bakhe obutsha, amalungu ebandla, kubandakanya uRoberts, baqala ukuthandana. Kwiveki elandelayo, abaphathiswa abamhlophe abane abavela kubasebenzi bakaPearson beza kumxelela ukuba sele bemkile ukuba bayokufumana icawa yabo. Okokugqibela, uPearson ubizelwa kwindibano yoobhishophu base-Afrika baseMelika kwaye wabhengezwa njengoyolo.
Ekugqibeleni sibona uPearson eqhubela phambili kwisenzo sesibini sobomi bakhe, enika intshumayelo yeendwendwe kwecawa yaseCaliforni ekhokelwa ngumfundisi wase-Afrika waseMelika, kwaye isicatshulwa esikwesi screen sisixelela ukuba usahlala eTulsa kunye nabefundisi be-All Souls Unitarian Church.
Uninzi lwabaphulaphuli banokuthi bathathe i-Cawa ezayo njengebali lomoya onenkalipho kunye ozimeleyo oxinzelelwe ngabanqolobi abaziingcingane. Kodwa eyona ntlekele iphambili apha kukuba isithethe senkolo kaPearson simnike izixhobo ezimbalwa kakhulu zokubonisa ukholo.
Ukuqonda kwasekuqaleni kukaPearson ngenceba kaThixo kubonakala kulungile kwaye kuyinyani. Nangona kunjalo, wathi xa ebaleka esuka kule intuition esiya kwindawo ye-mawkish yokuba akukho sihogo kwaye wonke umntu uyasindiswa nokuba yintoni na, ndizifumene ndimcenga, "Funda amaKatolika; funda amaKatolika! “Kodwa, ewe, akazange.
Ukuba wayenzile njalo, ngewayifumene isixa semfundiso esiphendula imibuzo yakhe ngaphandle kokulahla inkolelo yobu-Orthodox yobuKrestu. Isihogo ukwahlukaniswa ngonaphakade noThixo, kwaye kufuneka kubekhona ngoba ukuba abantu banenkululeko yokuzikhethela kufuneka nabo babe nenkululeko yokulahla uThixo.Ngaba ukhona umntu esihogweni? Ngaba bonke basindisiwe? NguThixo kuphela owaziyo, kodwa icawe isifundisa ukuba bonke abasindisiweyo, "bangamaKrestu" okanye hayi, basindiswa nguKristu kuba ngandlela thile uKrestu ukhona kubo bonke abantu, ngamaxesha onke, kuzo zonke iimeko zabo ezahlukeneyo.
Isithethe senkolo kaCarlton Pearson (kunye nale ndikhulele kuyo) yile kaFlannery O'Connor egcwala njengecawa ka "Kristu ngaphandle kukaKristu". Endaweni yobukho bokwenyani bukaKristu kwi-Eucharist kunye nokulandelelana kwabapostile, la maKristu aneeBhayibhile zawo kuphela, incwadi ethi, ebusweni bayo, ithi izinto eziphikisanayo ngezinto ezininzi ezibalulekileyo.
Ukuze ube nokholo olunengqiqo, igunya lokutolika le ncwadi kufuneka liphumle kwenye into ngaphandle kokubanakho ukutsala isihlwele esikhulu kunye neyona bhaskithi iqokelelweyo.
