Kuba abantu abaninzi abafuni ukukholwa kuvuko
Ukuba uYesu Krestu wafa kwaye wabuya wavuka, ke umbono wehlabathi lethu lanamhlanje ungalunganga.
“Ke, ukuba uKristu uyashunyayelwa evuka kwabafileyo, batsho njani abanye benu ukuba akukho luvuko lwabafileyo? Ke, ukuba akukho luvuko lwabafileyo, woba akavukanga noKristu; Kwaye ukuba uKrestu akavuki, ukushumayela kwethu kulilize: nokholo lwenu lulilize ”. (1 KwabaseKorinte 15: 12-14)
La mazwi ka-St. Paul kwileta yakhe yokuqala eya kwiCawe yaseKorinte iya ngqo kwinqanaba. Ukuba uKrestu akavukanga ngokwasemzimbeni, inkolo yethu ililize. Wayengacingi "ngamampunge" ngengqondo yokuba nekratshi ngokugqithileyo ngenkangeleko yakhe, kodwa wayelilize ngengqondo yoMshumayeli weNtshumayeli: "Amampunge awo amampunge; Yonke into ingamampunge. "
USt.Paul usixelela ukuba ukuba uvuko aluyonyani, ngoko ke sichitha ixesha lethu kunye nobuKristu Akanomdla kwimisebenzi yentlalo yenkolo "njengendawo yamakholwa", nokuba "idibanisa abantu" okanye "inika abantu injongo" okanye nayiphi na enye itiyoloji yempilo-ntle. Uthetha ngenyaniso yeenjongo kwaye usixelela ukuba singachithi ixesha.
Kodwa ilizwe lanamhlanje linobunzima ngovuko, kwaye ngokubanzi imimangaliso nayo yonke into engaphezu kwendalo. Ubuncinci ukusukela kwinkulungwane yeshumi elinethoba (okanye mhlawumbi okoko sishiye i-Eden), ingqondo yaseNtshona ingakumbi sele iqalise iphulo lokwehlisa ukholo olwashunyayelwa ngaBapostile. Sifunda iiBhayibhile zethu njengezazinzulu ngengqondo, sizama ukufumana ubulumko bokuziphatha okanye ubomi kubali, kodwa ngaphandle kokuthatha nzulu imimangaliso ebhengezwe ngokucacileyo.
Thina bantu bale mihla kunye nabaphucukileyo sazi ngcono kunookhokho bethu. Sikhanyisiwe, inzululwazi, inengqiqo-hayi njengabo bantu kumaxesha amandulo ababekholelwa kuyo nantoni na abashumayeli ababeshumayela kubo. Ewe, le yinto ehlekisayo yembali, imbali yethu nookhokho bethu. Thina bantu bale mihla asohlukanga kubantwana abakwishumi elivisayo abanolwazelelelo abacinga ukuba bazi ngcono kunabazali noomawokhulu bethu kwaye bacinga ukuba nantoni na abayikholelwayo nabayixabisileyo ngenxa yeso sizathu kufuneka yenqatshwe.
Kodwa ngokunika umtyholi ilungelo lakhe, ngokungathi kunjalo, sinokuzibuza ngokunyanisekileyo: Kutheni le nto singafuni ukukholelwa eluvukweni? Iyintoni le mfundiso siyifumana iphazamisa? Kutheni le nto abaninzi “abafundisi bezakwalizwi” bale mihla benze umsebenzi wabo ngokuzitolika ngovuko njengenye into engeyiyo iTestamente eNtsha efundisa ukuba yayiyile - umntu ofileyo ebuyela ebomini? (Eli binzana langoku lesiGrike kwiTestamente eNtsha - i-anastasis ton nekron -okoqobo lithetha "isidumbu esimi".
Ukuqala, ngokungenabungozi, kuyacaca ukuba imfundiso yovuko ayiqhelekanga. Asikaze simbone umntu ofileyo evuka engcwabeni lakhe ngaphambili, yiyo loo nto kungasokumangalisa ukuba sizichase ukuzikholelwa ezi ndaba zilungileyo. Isizukulwana esinye sikaYesu-kwaye sonke isizukulwana ukusukela-besikwindawo enye yokungakholelwa kwisibhengezo esimangalisayo sesidumbu esimiyo.
U-Aristotle wakudala ("utitshala wabo bazi") usifundisa ukuba sifunde kuqala ngamava okuqonda ngokuthe ngqo, kwaye ke kumava okuphindaphinda ingqondo yethu ikhupha iingqondo, emva koko siziqonde ngokwengqondo. Siyabazi ubomi ukuba buyintoni, kuba sibonile izinto ezininzi eziphilayo. Kwaye siyazi ukuba yintoni ukufa, kuba sibone izinto ezininzi ezifileyo. Kwaye siyazi ukuba izinto eziphilayo ziyafa, kodwa izinto ezifileyo azibuyeli ebomini, kuba sakha sabona kuphela izinto zisenzeka ngokulandelelana kwazo.
Siyabuthanda ubomi kwaye asikuthandi ukufa. Izinto ezisempilweni zinesinhanha esisiso sokuzigcina kunye nokuthintela okunempilo kuyo nayiphi na into esongela imeko yabo eqhubekayo yobomi. Abantu, kunye nokuqiqa kwethu kunye nokukwazi ukulindela ikamva, bayazi kwaye boyike ukubhubha kwethu, kwaye siyakwazi kwaye siyaboyika ukubulawa kwabantu esibathandayo. Ngamafutshane, ukufa kubi. Ingonakalisa usuku lwakho lonke (okanye ishumi leminyaka) xa kusweleke umntu omthandayo. Sikuthiyile ukufa, kwaye kufanelekile.
Senza zonke iintlobo zamabali ukuzithuthuzela. Ininzi yembali yethu yengqondo inokufundwa, ngokukhanya okuthile, njengebali lokuhlengahlengiswa kokufa. Ukusuka kubuBhuda bamandulo nobuStoyike ukuya ekuthandeni izinto zala maxesha, sizamile ukuzicacisela ubomi ngeendlela ezenza ukufa kungabulali, okanye kubonakale kungaphantsi. Intlungu ayinyamezeleki. Kuya kufuneka siyicacise kude. Kodwa mhlawumbi silumke kuneefilosofi zethu. Mhlawumbi iintlungu zethu zisixelela okuthile ngobume bokwenene bokuba. Kodwa mhlawumbi akunjalo. Mhlawumbi sizizinto eziphilayo eziguqukayo ngokwemvelo ezifuna ukusinda kwaye ngenxa yoko sikuthiyile ukufa. Luhlobo olungaqhelekanga lokuthuthuzela, kodwa i-heroin nayo, kwaye uninzi lwethu lucinga ukuba licebo elilungileyo nalo.
Ngoku nantsi ingxaki. Ukuba uYesu Krestu wasweleka wabuya wabuya waphila, ke imbono yethu yeli hlabathi neyelihlabathi ayilunganga. Kufanele ukuba kunjalo, kuba ayinakho ukwamkela inyani yovuko. Ukungakwazi kwethiyori ukulungiselela idatha entsha luphawu lwempazamo. Ke ukuba uchanile uPaul, siyaphazama. Oku kunokuba kubi ngaphezu kokufa.
Kodwa iya isiba mandundu. Kuba xa uKrestu ebuyile kwabafileyo, oku kubonakala kungabonisa ukuba sisiphoso, kodwa ukuba ulungile. Uvuko, ngenxa yokungaqhelekanga, lithetha ukuba kufuneka siphinde sijonge kuYesu, simamele amazwi akhe kwakhona kwaye sive ukungcikiva kwakhe kwakhona: ube ogqibeleleyo. Thanda ummelwane wakho. Xolela ngaphandle kwemeko. Yiba ngcwele.
Siyayazi into awayeyithetha. Siyazazi iiodolo zethu zokuhamba. Asifuni nje ukuthobela. Sifuna ukwenza into esifuna ukuyenza, nini kwaye sifuna ukuyenza. Siphila ngoku ngokupheleleyo kunqulo-zithixo esikukhethileyo. Ukuba uYesu uvukile ngokwenene kwabafileyo, ngokusisiseko sazi ukuba sinomphefumlo omninzi ozama ukwenza kunye nenguquko enkulu. Kwaye oku kunokuba lubi kakhulu kunokuba kuphosakele. Ke, asifuni kukholwa kuvuko.
