USanta wosuku lukaFebhuwari 22: indaba yesihlalo sikaSt. Peter
Lomkhosi uyisikhumbuzo sokukhetha kukaKristu uPetru ukuba ahlale esikhundleni sakhe njengenceku-igunya leSonto lonke.
Ngemuva "kwempelasonto elahlekile" yezinhlungu, ukungabaza nokuhlushwa, uPeter ulalela Izindaba Ezinhle. Izingelosi ezisethuneni zithi kuMagdalena: “INkosi ivukile! Hambani niyotshela abafundi bakhe noPetru “. UGiovanni ulandisa ukuthi ngenkathi yena noPeter begijimela ethuneni, omncane afice omdala, bese emlinda. UPeter wangena, wabona okusongelwayo phansi, umqhele wagoqeka endaweni eyodwa uwodwa. UJohane wabona futhi wakholwa. Kepha ungeza isikhumbuzi: "... abakawuqondi umBhalo owawuzovuka kwabafileyo" (Johane 20: 9). Bahamba bagoduka. Lapho umqondo owawuqhuma kancane futhi ongenakwenzeka waba iqiniso. UJesu wabonakala kubo ngenkathi belinde ngokwesaba ngaphakathi kweminyango. “Ukuthula makube kinina,” esho (uJohn 20: 21b), bajabula.
Umcimbi wePentekoste wagcwalisa ulwazi lukaPetru ngoKristu ovukile. "... bonke bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele " (Izenzo 2: 4a) futhi baqala ukuzikhulumela ngezilimi zakwamanye amazwe futhi benza izimangalo ezinesibindi njengoba uMoya wabayala.
Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho uPetru ezokwazi khona ukufeza umsebenzi uJesu ayemuphathise wona: “… Uma usubuyile, kufanele uqinise abafowenu” (Luka 22:32). Ngokushesha yiba ngumkhulumeli wabayiShumi naMbili ngokwazi kwabo ngoMoya oNgcwele - phambi kweziphathimandla zomphakathi ezazifuna ukumisa ukushumayela kwazo, phambi koMkhandlu waseJerusalema, emphakathini osenkingeni ka-Ananiya noSafira. Ungowokuqala ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle kwabezizwe. Amandla okuphilisa kaJesu kuye afakazelwa kahle: ukuvuswa kukaThabitha kwabafileyo, ukuphulukiswa kwesinxibi esikhubazekile. Abantu bahambisa abagulayo emigwaqweni ukuze kuthi uma uPeter esedlulile isithunzi sakhe siwele kubo. Ngisho nosanta uhlangabezana nobunzima empilweni yobuKristu. Ngenkathi uPetru eyeka ukudla nabaphendukile abeZizwe ngoba wayengafuni ukulimaza ukuzwela kwamaKrestu angamaJuda, uPaul uthi: "... Ngamphikisa ngoba wayecacile ukuthi wayenephutha ... babengekho endleleni eyiyo ngokuhambisana neqiniso weVangeli ... "(Galathiya 2: 11b, 14a).
Ekupheleni kweVangeli likaJohane, uJesu uthi kuPetru: “Ngiqinisile impela ngithi kuwe, lapho wawusemncane wawugqoka futhi uye nomaphi lapho uthanda khona; kepha lapho usumdala, uzakwelula izandla zakho, omunye umuntu akwembese, akuholele lapho ungathandi khona ”(Johane 21:18). Ini UJesu wathi ukhombisa uhlobo lokufa uPetru ayezokhazimulisa ngalo uNkulunkulu. Egqumeni laseVatican, eRoma, ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaNero, uPeter wakhazimulisa iNkosi yakhe ngokufa komfel 'ukholo, mhlawumbe ekanye namaKrestu amaningi. AmaKristu ekhulu lesibili leminyaka akha isikhumbuzo esincane phezu kwendawo yakhe yokungcwaba. Ngekhulu lesi-XNUMX umbusi uConstantine wayene-basilica eyakhiwe, eyathathelwa indawo ngekhulu le-XNUMX.
Ukuzindla: Njengosihlalo wekomidi, lesi sihlalo sibhekisa kulowo ohlala kuso, hhayi ifenisha. Umhlali wayo wokuqala wakhubeka kancane, waphika uJesu kathathu futhi enqikaza ukwamukela abeZizwe eSontweni elisha. Abanye babahlali bayo bakamuva nabo bakhubeke kancane, kwesinye isikhathi bahluleka ngehlazo. Njengabantu ngabanye, kwesinye isikhathi singacabanga ukuthi upapa othile usiphoxile. Kodwa-ke, ihhovisi liyaqhubeka njengophawu lwenkambiso ende esiyigugu futhi njengendawo yokugxila eSontweni jikelele.
