Ukubaluleka kunye nendima yeVangeli kunye neSigramente kubomi bethu bobuKristu
Kwezi ngcamango zimfutshane sifuna ukubonisa indawo ekufuneka iVangeli kunye neesakramente zibe nayo kubomi bobuKristu kunye nomsebenzi wokwalusa, ngokwecebo likaThixo.
Ngolwimi lwabaseki beCawa, igama elithi umthendeleko libonisa nayiphi na inyaniso enovakalelo equlethe ngaphakathi kwayo ubunyani bobuthixo kwaye idlulisele kuthi: kule ngqiqo ibanzi, zonke iinyani zeCawa zinokuthathwa njengomthendeleko.
Apha sizimisele ukuthetha ngemiqondiso esixhenxe yomthendeleko ekhapha umntu kuhambo lwakhe lwasemhlabeni ukususela ekuzalweni kwakhe (ubhaptizo) ukuwohloka (ukuthanjiswa kwabagulayo). Kukule ngqiqo emxinwa ukuba sisebenzise eli gama.
Ukuvangela, kwelinye icala, kuyimfuneko ukwenza umva: ukuyithatha ngendlela ebanzi. Enyanisweni ngengqiqo engqongqo ibonisa isibhengezo sobuvangeli basemazweni kwabangakholwayo, oko kukuthi, uhlobo lokuqala oludlulisa isibhengezo, ngenjongo ezimbini zokuvuselela ukholo noguquko olukhuthazayo. Ecaleni kwayo kukho olunye uhlobo lokushumayela: ikatekesi. Ibhekiswa kwabo sele bengamakholwa. Injongo yayo kukomeleza ukholo nokwandisa iimbono eziphangaleleyo, idlulisela wonke umxholo weSityhilelo.
Kwimeko yethu ukushumayela kumela, ngengqiqo ebanzi, kulo naluphi na uhlobo lwesibhengezo, oko kukuthi, ukusasazwa kweLizwi, kwaye kubandakanya kokubini ukushumayela kunye nekhathekhisi.
Ngokuchasene noko, iquka ihomily ngokwayo, elolona hlobo lupheleleyo nolunegunya lokuvakaliswa kweVangeli: epheleleyo ngenxa yokuba, sihlandlo ngasinye, yonke imisebenzi yokushumayela kobuKristu; inegunya ngenxa yokuba, ibekwe phakathi kombhiyozo wenkonzo, igubungela umoya wayo kwaye ithathe inxaxheba ekusebenzeni kwayo.
Ke ngoko iLizwi kunye neesakramente zizixhobo ezibini zosindiso.
Makhe sicacise. Lunye kuphela usindiso: nguKristu, enobuntu bakhe nomsebenzi wakhe. Akukho lusindiso kuye nabani na ongomnye, nakwenye into (IZenzo 4,12:XNUMX).
Ke ngoko wonke umsebenzi ubupostile ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba uvule indlela abazalwana abanokuya ngayo eNkosini.
Lonke umzamo omkhulu wobufundisi awuyonto ngaphandle nje kokufundisana. Kodwa ubulungiseleli bokwalusa kufuneka bubeke indlela yokuqhuba intlanganiso. IVangeli kunye neesakramente zizalisekisa lo msebenzi: ukuseka uqhagamshelwano noKristu, ngelizwi lakhe kunye nesenzo sakhe. Kwaye usindiswe.
Kuyinyaniso kona ukuba zininzi iindlela: UKristu usebenzisa yonke into ukuze asisindise. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, ezi zimbini zivela ngokubaluleka kunye nokusebenza kakuhle. I-NT iyabhala: Shumayelani nibhaptize, uYesu uyalela abafundi. Abapostile bashiyela abanye imisebenzi engeyiyo le, equka izenzo zesisa (IZenzo 6,2:XNUMX) ukunikela ngawo onke amandla abo emthandazweni nasekushumayeleni iLizwi. Abaseki beCawa ngamadoda elizwi kunye nomthendeleko, okokuqala nokuphambili. Namhlanje, njengakwamanye amaxesha kwaye mhlawumbi ngakumbi kunakwamanye amaxesha, ngumbuzo wokusindisa umhlaba kunye nokutshintsha ubuso bawo. Xa ujongene nomsebenzi onjalo, yintoni enokusetyenziswa amazwi amancinane aphoswa ebantwini ebudeni bekhaya okanye intwana yamanzi egalelwa entloko yomntwana? Kuthatha kakhulu ngakumbi, umntu uya kuthi. Kakade ke, ukuba ibizizenzo zomntu okanye imisitho elilize, bekungayi kubakho nto ingenamsebenzi nengenamsebenzi. Kodwa kwelo Lizwi nakweso senzo nguThixo ngokwakhe osebenzayo. Ukusebenza kuhambelana namandla ayo angcwele. Nguye othi, njengomlinganiswa oyintloko, akhokele ibali. Ngoku, kwisenzo sakhe, igama kunye neesakramente ngamanqaku okukhanya okucacileyo kunye nokusebenza okunamandla kakhulu (E. Schillebeeckx).
Phakathi kweVangeli kunye neesakramente kukho iqhina elinganyibilikiyo elimiliselwe kwimbali yosindiso. Ingqondo exhaphakileyo phakathi kwethu ithande ukungazibandakanyi ezi zinto zimbini: ngokungathi ukushumayela kukuhambisa imfundiso kwaye iisakramente zinika ubabalo. AmaProtestanti agxininisa ukubaluleka kweLizwi. Ekuphenduleni, amaKatolika agxininisa ukusebenza kwesithethe. Le nkcaso ixhokonxayo iye yahlula into yobume bayo enxibelelene ngokusondeleyo. Ngomonakalo omkhulu kukhathalelo lomfundisi.
Omnye wayenoluvo lokuba kwelinye icala uneLizwi elithetha kodwa lingalenzi, kanti kwelinye isithethe esithetha kodwa singatsho. Oku akuyonyani kwaphela.
ILizwi likaThixo liphilile, liyasebenza ( Heb 4,12:XNUMX ): UThixo uyayenza into ayithethayo.
ILizwi lakhe lingamandla osindiso kubo bonke abakholwayo (KwabaseRoma 1,16:XNUMX).
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isithethe, njengesimboli, sikwavakalisa kwaye sidlulise umyalezo. Umqondiso womthendeleko awukho nje umqondiso, ukwaligama. Ukuyibeka ngokufutshane: ukushumayela kunye nomthendeleko zizigaba eziyimfuneko zohambo olunye losindiso, enye yazo eyenza isiqalo kwaye enye inzaliseko.
UKristu ngowokuqala, umthendeleko wokuqala kunye negama elicacileyo. Ungowona mqondiso uphakamileyo kaThixo neLizwi lakhe. UnguThixo kwisenzo somntu, umthendeleko ophakamileyo, kuba igama elithi isakramente lenzelwe ukumisela inyaniso enengqiqo ebonisa kwaye iqulethe inyaniso yobuthixo. UYesu ngumthendeleko wokuhlangana noThixo ILizwi liba yinyani kwaye libizwa ngokuba nguYesu.
Ulungenelelo oluqinisekileyo noluqinisekileyo lukaThixo kwimbali yabantu: ukufezekiswa kokugqibela kwento awayefuna ukuyenza. Kodwa ikwasisityhilelo esiqinisekileyo: kuye yonke into uThixo awayefuna ukuyithetha ibonakalisiwe.
Uxela ngamazwi oko akubonileyo esifubeni sikaYise (Yoh 1,18:1,14). Kodwa phambi kwamazwi, uyityhila ngobukho bakhe: uLizwi waba yinyama (Yoh 1:1,1). Elo Lizwi alisavakali nje ezindlebeni kuphela, kodwa likwabonakala emehlweni kwaye liqwalaselwe ezandleni (2 Yoh 4,6: XNUMX). UYesu uluzuko lukaThixo olubonakaliswa ebusweni bomntu (XNUMX Kor XNUMX: XNUMX), uluthando lukaThixo olutyhilwa kwizenzo zomntu.
Ngoko ke, uYesu umtyhila uThixo ngoko akuko, ngoko akuthethayo noko akwenzayo. U-Yesu uliLizwi likaThixo eliba yinyani, kunye nenyaniso yokuba libonakala elubala kwaye liqaqambe kangangokuba libe lilizwi. Lonke ukhathalelo lokwalusa lubizelwa kukhetho oluchanekileyo nolukhaliphileyo: kufuneka lufumanise ukuba lunentsingiselo ebalulekileyo kwimfihlelo kaKristu kwaye ngenxa yoko lususe ingqwalasela kwisakramente ukuya kwiSakramente: uYesu.
Yiyiphi inkqubo awayilandelayo ekuziseni usindiso? Ngokuqhelekileyo wenza oku: okokuqala ushumayela ukuze avuse ukholo kubaphulaphuli. Nabani na owamkelayo umyalezo uya kuhlangabezana nawo ngokulindelekileyo kunye nokuthembela ngokupheleleyo. Emva koko ukudibana kwenzeka: uqhagamshelwano lobuqu oluzisa impiliso. Oku kwenzeka ngokudibana nobuntu bakhe: amandla aphuma kuye aphilisa wonke umntu (Luka 6,19:XNUMX). Ukuphiliswa kuphawula isiqalo sobomi obutsha obuba lingqina likaYesu phambi kwabazalwana
