Usolusapho weEcumenical kunye noBhishophu Omkhulu waseConstantinople uBartholomew banikela umyalezo wakhe weKrismesi kwimfundiso yoxolo. Uqala ngamazwi enkulungwane ye-14 ye-hesychast, iSt. Nicholas Cavàsila, ukuba ngokuzalwa kweNkosi, abantu okokuqala bemazi uThixo kuBantu abathathu. Ukwamkelwa kwemvelo yomntu nguNyana kunye neLizwi likaThixo kunye nokuvulwa kwendlela emntwini yokwenziwa isithixo ngobabalo kumnika ixabiso elingenakuthelekiswa nanto. Ukulibala le nyaniso kukhokelela ekuthotyweni kwentlonipho emntwini. Ukukhanyela injongo ephakamileyo yomntu akugcini nje ukumkhulula, kodwa kwakhona kumkhokelela kwimida kunye nezahlulo ezahlukeneyo. Ngaphandle kokuqonda imvelaphi yakhe yobuThixo kunye nethemba lephakade, umntu akakwazi ukuhlala engumntu, engakwazi ukujamelana nokuphikisana "kwemeko yomntu".
Ukuqonda kobuKristu ngobukho bomntu kunika isisombululo kwiingxaki ezibangelwa bubundlobongela, imfazwe nokungabikho kobulungisa kwihlabathi lethu. Ukuhlonela umntu, uxolo nobulungisa sisipho esivela kuThixo, kodwa ukuzuza uxolo uKristu awaluzisa ngokuvela kwakhe kumzimba womntu kufuna ukuba abantu babe nenxaxheba kunye nentsebenziswano. Imbono yobuKristu kumbandela wokuzabalazela uxolo imiselwa ngamazwi kaKristu uMsindisi, oshumayela uxolo, abulise “ngoxolo kuni” aze abize abantu ukuba bathande iintshaba zabo. Isityhilelo sikaKristu sibizwa ngokuba “yiVangeli yoXolo.” Oku kuthetha ukuba kuthi maKristu indlela eya eluxolweni iluxolo ngokwalo, ukuba ukungabi nabundlobongela, iingxoxo, uthando, uxolelo kunye noxolelwaniso zihamba phambili kunezinye iindlela zokusombulula impixano. Imfundiso yezakwalizwi yoxolo icaciswa ngokucacileyo kumbhalo we-Ecumenical Patriarchate “On the Life of the World” (ukususela ngo-2020), apho kuthiwa: “Akukho nto ichasene nokuthanda kukaThixo ngezidalwa zakhe, ezidalwe ngokomfanekiso wakhe nangokufana naye. , kunogonyamelo umntu alusebenzisayo kummelwane wakhe… Ngokufanelekileyo sinokubanga ukuba ugonyamelo luphawu olubalaseleyo lwesono. Kuchasene ngokupheleleyo nendalo yethu edaliweyo kunye nobizo lwethu lwamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo ukufuna umanyano lothando noThixo nommelwane…”.
Xa ujongene nesoyikiso soxolo, ukuqaphela kunye nokuthanda ukusombulula iingxaki ngeengxoxo ziyafuneka. Amaqhawe amakhulu ezopolitiko ngabalweli boxolo. Siqhubeka sigxininisa ukuba iinkolo zinendima yoxolo ngeli xesha zigxekwayo kuba endaweni yokuba zibonise amandla oxolo, inkxaso noxolelwaniso, zikhuthaza inzondelelo yempambano nogonyamelo “egameni likaThixo” – oku kukugqwethwa kokholo lwenkolo; kwaye asingowakhe.
… Ngeengcinga ezinjalo kunye neemvakalelo ezinyanisekileyo, ngentembelo epheleleyo yokuba ubomi beCawe obunjalo bumele ukuchasana nobundlobongela, nokuba buvela phi na, sisibizela sonke kumlo olungileyo wokwakha inkcubeko yoxolo noxolelwaniso apho uya kubona ebusweni bommelwane kabani, umzalwana nomhlobo, hayi utshaba notshaba, nto leyo esikhumbuza sonke, bazalwana nabantwana, ukuba ukuzalwa kukaKristu lixesha lokuzazi nombulelo, lokutyhila umahluko. phakathi koThixo-umntu kunye “nothixo-mntu”, wokuqonda “ummangaliso omkhulu” wenkululeko kuKristu nokuphilisa “umvandedwa omkhulu” wokuhlukaniswa noThixo.
