U-Kristu umbhali wovuko nowokuphila
Umphostoli uPawulu, ekhumbula injabulo yokusindiswa okuzuziwe, uthi: Njengoba ngo-Adamu ukufa kwangena kulomhlaba, kanjalo ngoKristu insindiso inikezwa futhi emhlabeni (cf. Roma 5:12). Futhi-ke: Umuntu wokuqala othathwe emhlabeni ngumhlaba; umuntu wesibili uvela ezulwini, ngakho-ke ungowasezulwini (1 Cor 15:47). Ubuye futhi athi: "Njengoba besiphethe umfanekiso womuntu wasemhlabeni", okungowomuntu omdala esonweni, "sizophinda futhi sibe nomfanekiso womuntu wasezulwini" (1 Cor 15:49), okusho ukuthi, sinensindiso umuntu ucabanga, wahlenga, wavuselelwa futhi wahlanzwa kuKristu. Ngokusho kompostoli uqobo, uKristu uza kuqala ngoba ungumbhali wokuvuka nokuphila kwakhe. Bese kufika labo abangabakaKristu, okungukuthi, labo abaphila ngokulandela isibonelo sobungcwele bakhe. Laba banokuphepha okusekelwe ekuvukeni kwakhe futhi bazobamba naye inkazimulo yesithembiso sasezulwini, njengoba iNkosi uqobo isho eVangelini ukuthi: Lowo ongilandelayo ngeke abhubhe kodwa uzodlula ekufeni aye ekuphileni (cf. Jn 5:24).
Ngakho-ke uthando lukaMsindisi luyimpilo nokusindiswa komuntu. Kungakho ayefuna ukusifela, ukuze thina, ngokukholwa kuye, siphile ingunaphakade. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wayefuna ukuba yilokhu esiyikho, ukuze, esegcwalise isithembiso sobuphakade bakhe kithi, sikwazi ukuhlala naye ingunaphakade.
Lokhu, ngithi, kungumusa wezimfihlakalo zasezulwini, lesi yisipho sePhasika, lo ngumkhosi wonyaka esiwufisa kakhulu, lokhu kungukuqala kwamaqiniso anika impilo.
Ngale mfihlakalo izingane ezikhiqize ekuhlanzweni okubalulekile kweSonto Elingcwele, ezizalwe kabusha ngobulula bezingane, zenza ukubhebhetheka kobumsulwa bazo kuzwakale. Ngenxa yePhasika, abazali abangamaKristu nabangcwele bayaqhubeka, ngokholo, uhlu lozalo olusha nolungenakubalwa.
NgePhasika isihlahla sokholo siqhakaza, umugqa wobhaphathizo uba nezithelo, ubusuku bukhanye ngokukhanya okusha, isipho sezulu siyehla futhi nesakramente linikeza ukudla kwalo kwasezulwini.
NgePhasika iSonto lamukela bonke abesilisa esifubeni sakhe futhi libenza abantu abodwa nomndeni owodwa.
Abakhulekeli bento eyodwa yobunkulunkulu namandla onke negama laBantu abathathu bahlabelela ihubo lomkhosi waminyaka yonke noMprofethi: "Lolu usuku iNkosi eyenzile: masijabule sithokoze ngalo" (IHu 117, 24). Yiluphi usuku? Ngiyazibuza. Lowo onikeze ukuqala kokuphila, ukuqala ukukhanya. Lolu suku ngumakhi wobukhazikhazi, okungukuthi, iNkosi uJesu Kristu uqobo. Wathi ngaye: Mina ngiyilo usuku: ohamba emini akakhubeki (cf. Jn 8:12), okusho ukuthi: Noma ngubani olandela uKristu kukho konke, elandela ezinyathelweni zakhe uyofinyelela embundwini wokukhanya kwaphakade. Yilokhu akubuze kuBaba ngenkathi elapha ngezansi nomzimba wakhe: Baba, ngifuna ukuthi labo abakholwa kimi babe lapho ngikhona: ukuze njengalokhu wena ukimi nami ngikuwe, ukuze nabo bahlale kithi (cf. Jn 17, 20 ff.).
