By St. Nicholas Kavasila, Kusukela “Izintshumayelo ezintathu on iNcasakazi”
Umbhali omangalisayo we-Hesychast wekhulu le-14 uSt. Nicholas Kavasila (1332-1371) unikezela lokhu intshumayelo ekuMenyezelweni kukaMama Ongcwele kaNkulunkulu, embula phambi kwethu umbono wendoda yaseByzantium ngoMama kaNkulunkulu. Intshumayelo engagcwalisi umuzwa wenkolo oshisekayo kuphela, kodwa futhi nezimfundiso ezijulile.
Ekumenyezelweni KweNkosikazi Yethu Ebusisiwe kanye neNcasakazi Ebusisiwe (AmaTheotokos amathathu)
Uma umuntu kufanele ajabule futhi aqhaqhazele, ahlabelele ngokubonga, uma kunenkathi edinga umuntu ukuba afise okukhulu kakhulu nokuhle kakhulu, futhi imenze alwele ukuxhumana okubanzi ngangokunokwenzeka, ukuphimisela okuhle kakhulu, nezwi elinamandla ukuze acule ubukhosi bakhe. , angiboni ukuthi kungaba ubani omunye ngaphandle kwedili lanamuhla. Ngoba bekungathi namuhla kufike iNgelosi ivela ezulwini yamemezela ukuqala kwakho konke okuhle. Namuhla isibhakabhaka sikhulisiwe. Namuhla umhlaba uyajabula. Namuhla yonke indalo iyajabula. Futhi ngale komkhosi Lowo obambe isibhakabhaka ezandleni Zakhe akahlali. Ngoba okwenzeka namuhla kuwumkhosi wangempela. Bonke bahlangana kuyo, ngenjabulo efanayo. Bonke baphila futhi basinika intokozo efanayo: uMdali, yonke indalo, yena kanye unina woMdali, owalungiselela imvelo yethu futhi ngaleyondlela wamenza wahlanganyela emibuthanweni yethu ejabulisayo nemikhosi. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, uMdali uyajabula. Ngoba ungumsizi kwasekuqaleni, futhi kusukela ekuqaleni kwendalo, umsebenzi wakhe uwukwenza okuhle. Akadingi lutho futhi akazi lutho ngaphandle kokupha nokuba nomusa. Namuhla, nokho, ngaphandle kokumisa umsebenzi Wakhe wokusindisa, udlula endaweni yesibili futhi uza phakathi kwalabo abenzelwa umusa. Futhi akajabuleli kakhulu ngezipho ezinkulu azipha indalo futhi ezembula ukuphana Kwakhe, kodwa ngezinto ezincane azitholile kulowo owenzelwa umusa, ngoba ngalokho kuyacaca ukuthi ungumthandi wesintu. Futhi ucabanga ukuthi ukhazimuliswa hhayi kuphela ngalokho Yena ngokwakhe azipha izigqila ezimpofu, kodwa nangalezo abampofu amnika zona. Ngoba noma ngabe wakhetha ukuncipha phezu kwenkazimulo yaphezulu futhi wavuma ukwamukela njengesipho esivela kithi ubumpofu bethu bobuntu, ingcebo Yakhe ayizange ishintshe futhi yaphendula isipho sethu saba umhlobiso nombuso.
Ngokudaliweyo futhi—nangendalo kangisho lokho okubonakalayo kuphela, kodwa nalokho okungaphezu kwamehlo omuntu—okungaba isenzakalo esikhulu sokubonga kunokubona uMdali wakho eza kuyo neNkosi yakho konke ukuze athathe indawo phakathi kwezigqila? Futhi lokhu ngaphandle kokuzelula igunya Lakhe, kodwa ukuba yisigqila, engalahli ingcebo (Yakhe), kodwa eyinika abampofu, futhi ngaphandle kokuwa ekuphakameni Kwakhe, kuphakamisa abathobekileyo.
I-Virgin nayo iyajabula, ngenxa yazo zonke lezi zipho zanikezwa amadoda. Futhi ujabule ngezizathu ezinhlanu. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, njengomuntu obamba iqhaza, njengawo wonke umuntu, ezimpahleni ezivamile. Nokho naye uyajabula ngoba lezi zimpahla wayeziphiwe ngisho nangaphambili, ziphelele ngisho nangaphezu kwezabanye, futhi ngisho nangokwengeziwe ngoba kuyisizathu sokuthi lezi zipho zinikezwe wonke umuntu. Isizathu sesihlanu nesikhulu kunazo zonke sokujabula kweNcasakazi ukuthi, hhayi nje ngaye, uNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokwakhe, ngenxa yezipho eyazazi futhi yaqala ukuzibona, zaletha ukuvuka kwabantu.
2. Ngoba iNcasakazi ayifani nomhlaba, owabumba umuntu, kodwa wona ngokwawo awenzanga lutho ngendalo yakhe, futhi owasetshenziswa njengento elula nguMdali futhi wamane “waba” ngaphandle “kokwenza” lutho. INcasakazi yazibonela ngokwayo futhi yanikeza uNkulunkulu zonke lezo zinto ezakhanga uMdali womhlaba, ezashukumisa isandla Sakhe sokudala. Futhi ziyini lezi zinto? Ukuphila okungenasici, ukuphila okumsulwa, ukuphika konke okubi, ukusebenzisa bonke ubuhle, umphefumulo umsulwa kunokukhanya, umzimba ophelele ngokomoya, ucwebezela kunelanga, umsulwa kunezulu, ungcwele kunezihlalo zobukhosi zamakherubi. Ukundiza kwengqondo okungami ngaphambi kwanoma yikuphi ukuphakama, okudlula ngisho namaphiko ezingelosi. I-eros yaphezulu egwinye zonke ezinye izifiso zomphefumulo. Izwe likaNkulunkulu, ubunye noNkulunkulu obungahlanganisi umcabango womuntu.
Ngakho, ehlobisa umzimba wakhe nomphefumulo wakhe ngobuhle obunjalo, wakwazi ukuheha amehlo kaNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yobuhle bakhe, wembula imvelo enhle evamile yomuntu. Bese ushaya i-trickster. Futhi waba umuntu ngenxa Virgin, ngubani wazondwa phakathi kwabantu ngenxa yesono.
3. Futhi “udonga lobutha” “nomgoqo” kwakungasho lutho eNcasakazini, kodwa konke okwahlukanisa isintu noNkulunkulu kwaqedwa ngokuphathelene nayo. Ngakho, ngisho nangaphambi kokubuyisana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu neNcasakazi, kwakubusa ukuthula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wayengekho isidingo sokuzidela ukuze kube nokuthula nokubuyisana, ngoba kusukela ekuqaleni wayengowokuqala phakathi kwabangane. Zonke lezi zinto zenzeka ngenxa yabanye. Futhi wayenguMkhulumeli, “wayengumkhulumeli wethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu,” ukusebenzisa inkulumo kaPawulu, ephakamisela abantu kuNkulunkulu hhayi izandla zakhe, kodwa ukuphila kwakhe impela. Futhi ubuhle bomphefumulo owodwa bebanele ukumisa ububi babantu beminyaka yonke. Njengoba umkhumbi wasindisa umuntu kuZamcolo jikelele wendawo yonke, akazange ahlanganyele ezinhlekeleleni futhi wasindisa uhlanga lwesintu ukuthi kungenzeka ukuqhubeka, into efanayo yenzeka eNcasakazini. Ngaso sonke isikhathi wayegcina umcabango wakhe ungakathintwa futhi ungcwele, njengokungathi asikho isono esake sathinta umhlaba, njengokungathi bonke bahlala bethembekile kulokho okufanele bakwenze, njengokungathi bonke basahlala epharadesi. Akazange abuzwe ububi obabugcwele umhlaba wonke. Nozamcolo wesono owasabalala yonke indawo wavala izulu, wavula isihogo, wadonsela abantu empini noNkulunkulu, waxosha omuhle emhlabeni, ehola ababi esikhundleni sakhe, akazange ayithinte kancane iNcasakazi ebusisiwe. Futhi ngenkathi ibusa phezu kwendawo yonke futhi yaphazamisa futhi yabhubhisa yonke into, ububi behlulwa umcabango owodwa, ngomphefumulo owodwa. Futhi akugcini nje ngokunqotshwa yiNcasakazi, kodwa ngenxa yesono sayo sasuka kuso sonke isintu.
Lokhu kwakuwumnikelo weNcasakazi emsebenzini wensindiso, ngaphambi kokuba kufike usuku lapho uNkulunkulu ayefanele, ngokohlelo lwakhe lwaphakade, agobe izulu futhi ehlele emhlabeni: kusukela ekuzalweni kwayo, wayemakhela umpheme. ukusindisa umuntu, walwela ukwenza indawo yokuhlala kaNkulunkulu ibe yinhle, uqobo, ukuze imfanele Yena. Kanjalo akutholakalanga lutho oluhlambalaza isigodlo senkosi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iNcasakazi ayizange nje imnikeze indawo yokuhlala yobukhosi efanele ubukhosi Bakhe, kodwa futhi yamlungiselela ingubo yobukhosi nebhande, njengoba uDavide esho, “umusa,” “amandla,” “nombuso” ngokwawo. Njengombuso owubukhazikhazi, obudlula bonke abanye ngobukhulu nobuhle bawo, ngobuhle bawo obuphezulu kanye nenani labakhileyo kuwo, ngengcebo namandla, awugcini ngokwawo ekwamukeleni inkosi nokumenzela izihambi, kodwa uba izwe namandla akhe , nodumo, namandla, nezingalo. Kanjalo neNcasakazi, yamukela uNkulunkulu ngaphakathi kwayo futhi imnika inyama yayo, yakwenza ukuba uNkulunkulu abonakale emhlabeni futhi waba yizitha ukunqotshwa okungapheli, futhi kubangane insindiso kanye nomthombo wakho konke okuhle.
4. Ngalendlela yasiza isintu ngaphambi kokuba kufike isikhathi sokusindiswa okuvamile: Kodwa lapho isikhathi sesifikile nesithunywa sasezulwini sibonakala, waphinde wahlanganyela ngenkuthalo ekusindisweni ngokukholwa amazwi akhe nokuvuma ukwamukela inkonzo, lokho UNkulunkulu wambuza. Ngoba nalokhu kwakudingeka futhi kudingekile ngokungangabazeki ukuze sisindiswe. Ukube iNtombi ayiziphathanga kanje, ngabe alisekho ithemba kubantu. Njengoba ngishilo ekuqaleni, kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuba uNkulunkulu abheke ngomusa isintu futhi afise ukwehlela emhlabeni, uma iNcasakazi yayingazilungiselelanga, uma yayingekho owayezomamukela futhi ubani owayengamamukela. sebenzela ukusindiswa. Futhi, kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba intando kaNkulunkulu igcwaliseke ukuze sisindiswe uma iNcasakazi yayingakholelwa kuyo futhi uma yayingazange ivume ukumkhonza. Lokhu kubonakala kusukela "enjabulweni" uGabriyeli ayisho eNcasakazini futhi eqinisweni lokuthi wayibiza ngokuthi "unomusa", lapho eqeda khona umsebenzi wakhe, wembula yonke imfihlo. Nokho, nakuba iNcasakazi yayifuna ukuqonda indlela ukukhulelwa okwakuzokwenzeka ngayo, uNkulunkulu akazange ehle. Ngenkathi eqiniseka futhi emukela isimemo, wonke umsebenzi wafezwa ngokushesha: UNkulunkulu wathatha njengendoda yengubo futhi iNcasakazi yaba unina woMdali.
Okumangalisa nakakhulu yilesi: UNkulunkulu akazange amxwayise u-Adamu noma amncenge ukuba akhiphe ubambo lwakhe okwakuzodalwa ngalo u-Eva. Wamlalisa kanjalo, wasusa ingqondo yakhe, wayisusa ingxenye yakhe. Nakuba, ukuze adale u-Adamu Omusha, Wafundisa iNcasakazi kusengaphambili futhi walindela ukholo lwayo nokwamukelwa. Ekudalweni kuka-Adamu, Uyaphinda futhi akhulume neNdodana Yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ethi, “Senze umuntu.” Kodwa lapho izibulo ‘lizongena,’ lowo “Meluleki omangalisayo” “endaweni yonke,” njengoba uPawulu esho, futhi adale u-Adamu wesibili, wathatha iNcasakazi njengesisebenzi esikanye naye esinqumweni sakhe. Ngakho leso “sinqumo” esikhulu sikaNkulunkulu, u-Isaya akhuluma ngaso, samenyezelwa uNkulunkulu futhi saqinisekiswa yiNcasakazi. Ngakho ukuba senyameni kweZwi kwakungewona umsebenzi kaBaba kuphela, “owathanda,” kanye nowaMandla Akhe, “owasibekela,” kanye nokaMoya oNgcwele, “owahlala,” kodwa futhi nowokulangazelela nokholo lukaMoya. Virgin. Ngoba ngaphandle kwazo kwakungenakwenzeka futhi ukuphakamisa kubantu ikhambi lokuthatha isimo somuntu kweZwi, ngokufanayo ngaphandle kwesifiso nokholo lwaLowo oNgcwele kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba ikhambi likaNkulunkulu ligcwaliseke.
5. Ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu emqondise kanjalo futhi emncenga, wabe esemenza unina. Ngaleyondlela inyama yayiphiwa ngumuntu owayefuna ukuyipha futhi eyazi ukuthi wayeyenzelani. Ngoba into efanayo nakuye yayizokwenzeka kuNtombi. Njengoba ayethanda futhi “wehla,” ngakho wayezokhulelwa futhi abe umama, hhayi ngokucindezelwa, kodwa ngayo yonke inkululeko yakhe yokuzikhethela. Ngokuba wayenakho - futhi lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu - hhayi nje ukubamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwensindiso yethu njengento eyasuka ngaphandle, esetshenziswa nje, kodwa ukuze azinikele futhi abe isisebenzi kanye noNkulunkulu ekunakekeleni isintu , ukuze abe nesabelo Naye futhi abe umhlanganyeli wenkazimulo eyavela kulolu thando lwesintu. Khona-ke, njengoba uMsindisi wayengeyena nje umuntu osenyameni nendodana yomuntu, kodwa futhi wayenomphefumulo, nengqondo, nentando, nakho konke okungumuntu, kwakudingekile ukuba nomama ophelele owayezokhonza ukuzalwa Kwakhe hhayi nje kuphela. ngemvelo yomzimba, kodwa futhi nangengqondo nentando, nobuntu bakhe bonke: ukuba ngumama kokubili enyameni nasemphefumulweni, ukuletha wonke umuntu ekuzalweni okungashiwongo.
Yingakho iNcasakazi, ngaphambi kokuba izinikele enkonzweni yemfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu, ikholelwe, ifune futhi ifise ukuyifeza. Kodwa futhi lokhu kwenzeka ngoba uNkulunkulu wayefuna ukwenza kubonakale ubuhle beNcasakazi. Okusho ukuthi, ukholo lwakhe lwalulukhulu kangakanani nendlela yakhe yokucabanga yayiphakeme kangakanani, ukuthi ingqondo yakhe yayingathintekile kangakanani nokuthi umphefumulo wakhe wawumkhulu kangakanani—izinto ezembulwa ngendlela iNcasakazi eyamukela futhi yakholelwa ngayo izwi eliyindida leBhayibheli. Ingelosi: ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezofika ngempela emhlabeni futhi uyozibonela mathupha insindiso yethu, nokuthi uzokwazi ukukhonza, ebambe iqhaza elikhulu kulo msebenzi. Iqiniso lokuthi waqala wacela incazelo futhi waqiniseka ukuthi liwubufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bokuthi wayezazi kahle futhi akaboni lutho olukhulu, akukho okwakufanelekela isifiso sakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayefisa ukuveza ubuhle bakhe lifakazela ukuthi iNcasakazi yayibazi kahle ubukhulu bobuhle bukaNkulunkulu nobuntu. Kuyacaca ukuthi ngenxa yalokhu akazange akhanyiselwe nguNkulunkulu ngokuqondile, ukuze kutholakale ngokugcwele ukuthi ukholo lwakhe, ayephila ngalo eduze noNkulunkulu, lwaluwukubonakaliswa kwakhe ngokuzithandela, nokuthi babengacabangi ukuthi lokho kwenzeka kwakuwumphumela wamandla kaNkulunkulu okholisayo. Ngokuba njengalokhu abakholwayo abangabonanga bakholwe babusisiwe kunabafuna ukubona, ngokunjalo nalabo abakholwa yizwi iNkosi eyalithumela ngezinceku zayo banomona omkhulu kunalabo ebebadinga ukuba ababonise bona uqobo. . Ukwazi ukuthi wayengenalutho emphefumulweni wakhe engafanele isakramente, nokuthi intukuthelo yakhe namasiko ayekufanela ngokuphelele, kangangokuthi akazange akhulume noma yikuphi ubuthakathaka bomuntu, noma angabaze ukuthi konke lokhu kuzokwenzeka kanjani, noma axoxe nhlobo. izindlela ezazingamholela ekuhlanzekeni, futhi akazange adinge umhlahlandlela oyimfihlo—zonke lezi zinto angazi noma singazibheka njengezemvelo edaliwe.
Ngoba noma wayeyikherubi noma iserafi, noma into ehlanzekile kakhulu kunezidalwa eziyizingelosi, wayengalithwala kanjani lelozwi? Wayengacabanga kanjani ukuthi angakwenza lokho akutshelwayo? Wayezowathola kanjani amandla anele ukwenza lezi zenzo zamandla? Futhi uJohane, “okungekho omkhulu kunaye” phakathi kwabantu, ngokokulinganisa koMsindisi uqobo, akazange azibone ekufanelekele ukuthinta ngisho nezicathulo Zakhe, nokuthi, lapho uMsindisi ebonakala esesimweni somuntu esimpofu. Ongenasici kwaze kwaba yilapho Ongenasici abe nesibindi sokuthatha esibelethweni sakhe lona impela iZwi likaBaba, wona impela umbono kaNkulunkulu, ngaphambi kokuba anciphe. “Ngiyini mina nomuzi kababa? Uyakumsindisa u-Israyeli ngami, Nkosi, na?” Lawa mazwi ungawezwa kwabalungileyo, nakuba kaningi bebizelwe ezenzweni futhi abaningi bawenzile. Nakuba ingelosi yabiza iNcasakazi ebusisiwe ukuba yenze okuthile okungajwayelekile, into eyayingahambisani nemvelo yomuntu, eyadlula ukuqonda okunengqondo. Futhi ngempela, yini enye ayicelayo ngaphandle kokuphakamisela umhlaba esibhakabhakeni, ukunyakaza nokushintsha, esebenzisa yena njengendlela, indawo yonke? Kodwa ingqondo yakhe ayizange iphazamiseke, futhi akazange azicabange engawufanelekeli lo msebenzi. Kodwa njengoba kungekho lutho oluphazamisa amehlo uma kusondela ukukhanya, futhi njengoba kungamangalisi ukuthi umuntu athi ilanga liphuma nje sekuyimini, kanjalo-ke iNtombi ayididekanga nakancane lapho iqonda ukuthi izokwazi ukwamukela futhi. cabanga abangafaneleki kuzo zonke izindawo uNkulunkulu. Futhi akazange avumele amazwi engelosi ukuba adlule engakahlolisiswa, futhi akazange athathwe yizindumiso eziningi. Kodwa wagxilisa kakhulu emthandazweni wakhe futhi wafunda ukubingelela ngakho konke ukunaka kwakhe, efisa ukuqonda kahle indlela yokukhulelwa, kanye nakho konke okuhlobene nakho. Kodwa ngaphezu kwalokho, akanaso nhlobo isithakazelo sokubuza ukuthi yena ngokwakhe uyakwazi yini futhi ukufanelekela inkonzo ephakeme kangaka, ukuthi umzimba nomphefumulo wakhe kuhlanzeke kangaka. Uyamangala ngezimangaliso ezedlula imvelo futhi angakunaki konke okuhlobene nokulungela kwayo. Ngakho-ke, wacela incazelo ngeyokuqala kuGabriyeli, kuyilapho yena eyazi eyesibili. Intombi yathola isibindi kuNkulunkulu ngaphakathi kwayo, ngoba, njengoba uJohane esho, "inhliziyo yakhe ayizange imlahle", kodwa "yafakaza" kuye.
6. “Kuzokwenziwa kanjani lokhu?” ebuza. Hhayi ngoba mina ngokwami ngidinga ukuhlanzeka okwengeziwe kanye nobungcwele obukhulu, kodwa ngoba kungumthetho wemvelo ukuthi labo, njengami, abakhethe indlela yobuntombi bangakwazi ukukhulelwa. "Kuzokwenzeka kanjani lokhu, wabuza, njengoba ngingathandani nendoda?" Mina, kunjalo, uyaqhubeka, ngilungele ukwamukela uNkulunkulu. Sengilungise ngokwanele. Kodwa ngitshele, ingabe imvelo izovuma, futhi ngayiphi indlela? Futhi-ke, ngokushesha nje lapho uGabriyeli emtshela ngendlela yokukhulelwa okuyindida ngamazwi adumile: "UMoya oNgcwele uzokwehlela phezu kwakho namandla oPhezukonke akusibekele", futhi wamchazela konke, i-Virgin no. usengabaza umlayezo wengelosi ukuthi ubusisiwe, kokubili ngalezo zinto ezimangalisayo azikhonzile, nangenxa yalabo akholwa kuzo, okungukuthi, ukuthi wayeyofaneleka ukwamukela lenkonzo. Futhi lokhu kwakungesona isithelo sobuvila. Kwakuwukubonakaliswa kwengcebo emangalisayo neyimfihlo iNcasakazi eyayifihla ngaphakathi kwayo, ingcebo egcwele ukuhlakanipha okuphakeme, ukholo nokuhlanzeka. Lokhu kwembulwa nguMoya oNgcwele, ebiza iNcasakazi ngokuthi “ibusisiwe” - impela ngoba yazamukela izindaba futhi ayizange ikuthole kunzima nhlobo ukukholelwa imiyalezo yasezulwini.
Unina kaJohane, ngokushesha lapho umphefumulo wakhe ugcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wamduduza, ethi: “Ubusisiwe okholwayo ukuthi lokho uJehova amtshele khona kuzokwenzeka. Futhi iNcasakazi ngokwayo, iphendula iNgelosi: "Nansi incekukazi yeNkosi." Ngoba ngempela uyinceku yeNkosi eyayiqonda ngokujulile imfihlo yalokho okuzayo. Yena owathi “ngokushesha nje lapho iNkosi ifika” wavula ngokushesha ikhaya lomphefumulo nomzimba wakhe futhi wanikeza Lowo owayengenakhaya ngempela phambi kwakhe, indawo yokuhlala yangempela phakathi kwabantu.
Ngaleso sikhathi kwenzeka okufanayo nalokho okwenzeka ku-Adamu. Nakuba yonke indawo yonke ebonakalayo yadalwa ngenxa yakhe, futhi zonke ezinye izidalwa zase zithole umngane wazo ofanelekayo, u-Adamu yedwa ongazange athole, ngaphambi kuka-Eva, umsizi ofanelekayo. Kanjalo nakuLizwi, owadala zonke izinto, wabela zonke izidalwa indawo yazo, kwakungekho ndawo, akukho ndawo yokuhlala phambi kweNtombi. Nokho, le ntombi ayizange inikeze “ubuthongo emehlweni ayo, nezinkophe zayo zikhathele” kwaze kwaba yilapho imnikeza indawo yokukhosela nendawo. Ngoba amazwi akhulunywa ngomlomo kaDavide, kumelwe sibheke njengezwi loNgcwele, ngoba ungukhokho wozalo lwakhe.
7. Kodwa into enkulu futhi eyindida kunayo yonke ukuthi, engazi lutho ngaphambili, ngaphandle kwesixwayiso, wayelilungiselele kahle isidlo esingcwele kangangokuthi, lapho nje uNkulunkulu ebonakala ngokuzumayo, wakwazi ukumamukela njengoba kufanele— ngomphefumulo olungile, ophapheme futhi ongantengantengi. Bonke abantu kwakufanele bazi ngokukhalipha kwayo, iNcasakazi ebusisiwe eyayihlala iphila ngakho, nokuthi yayiphakeme kangakanani kunemvelo yomuntu, yeka ukuthi iyingqayizivele kangakanani, inkulu kangakanani kunakho konke abantu ababengakuqonda—yena owaphemba uthando oluqine kangaka emphefumulweni wakhe. UNkulunkulu, hhayi ngenxa yokuthi wayexwayisiwe ngalokho okwakuzokwenzeka kuye nokuthi wayesezoba nengxenye kukho, kodwa ngenxa yezipho ezivamile ezanikezwa noma ezaziyonikezwa nguNkulunkulu kubantu. Ngoba njengoba uJobe engazange aboniswe umusa ngenxa yokubekezela kwakhe akubonisa ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, ngoba wayengazi ukuthi yini eyayizombuyisela kulomshikashika wokubekezela, kanjalo wazibonakalisa ekufanelekele ukwamukela izipho ezidlula ingqondo yomuntu, ngoba wayengazi (ngabo ngaphambili). Kwaba umbhede womshado ngaphandle kokulinda uMyeni. Kwakuyizulu, nakuba wayengazi ukuthi iLanga lalizophuma kulo.
Ubani ongakhulelwa lobu bukhulu? Futhi ubengaba njani uma azi konke kusenesikhathi futhi enamaphiko ethemba? Kodwa kungani engazange aziswe kusenesikhathi? Mhlawumbe ngoba lokho kukubeka kucace ukuthi akukho lapho ayengaya khona, njengoba wayeseqhwakele zonke iziqongo zobungcwele, futhi kwakungekho lutho ayengayengeza kulokho ayevele enakho, futhi ayengase abe ngcono ebuhleni, ngoba wayesefike phezulu kakhulu? Ngokuba uma kukhona izinto ezinjalo futhi ziyenzeka, uma kukhona isiqongo esisodwa kuphela sobuhle, iNkosazana ibizokwazi lokho, ngokuba yazalwa ngenxa yalokho, nangenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wayeyifundisa, ukuze inqobe lokho. isiqongo futhi. , ukuze azilungiselele kangcono inkonzo yesidlo esingcwele. Kwakungukungazi kwakhe okwaveza ubuhle bakhe—yena owathi nakuba entula izinto ezingamqhubela ebuhleni, waphelelisa umphefumulo wakhe kangangokuthi wakhethwa uNkulunkulu olungileyo kuyo yonke imvelo yomuntu. Futhi akusiyo imvelo ukuthi uNkulunkulu angamhlobisi umama Wakhe ngazo zonke izinto ezinhle, futhi angamdala ngendlela engcono kakhulu nephelele.
8. Ukuthi wazithulela nje akamtshelanga lutho ngalokho okwakuzokwenzeka, kufakazela ukuthi wayengazi lutho olungcono noma olukhulu kunalokho ayekubone kufezwa iNtombi. Futhi lapha futhi siyabona ukuthi Wakhetha unina hhayi nje ongcono kakhulu phakathi kwabanye besifazane, kodwa owayephelele. Wayengafaneleki nje ukwedlula sonke isintu, kodwa nguye owayefaneleka ngokuphelele ukuba umama Wakhe. Ngokuba ngokungangabazeki kwakudingeka ngesinye isikhathi ukuba imvelo yomuntu ifanelekele umsebenzi eyayidalelwe wona. Ngamanye amazwi, ukuzala umuntu oyokwazi ukufeza injongo yoMdali ngokufanele. Thina, vele, asikutholi kunzima ukwephula inhloso okwadalelwa yona amathuluzi ahlukahlukene ngokuwasebenzisela umsebenzi othile noma omunye. Nokho, uMdali akazange abeke umgomo ngemvelo yomuntu ekuqaleni, wabe esewushintsha. Kusukela emzuzwini wokuqala wamdala ukuze kuthi lapho esezalwa, amthathe njengomama Wakhe. Futhi ngemva kokunikeza lo msebenzi emvelweni yomuntu, wabe esedala umuntu esebenzisa le njongo ecacile njengomthetho. Ngakho-ke, kwakudingeka ukuthi ngelinye ilanga kuvele indoda ezofeza le njongo. Akuvumelekile ngathi ukuba singabheki njengenjongo yokudalwa komuntu njengenhle kunazo zonke, lowo oyonikeza uMdali udumo nodumo olukhulu kakhulu, futhi asinakucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu angahluleka nganoma iyiphi indlela ezintweni azidalayo. . Lokhu ngokuqinisekile akukho embuzweni, njengoba ngisho nabamashi nabathungi nabathungi bezicathulo bayakwazi ukudala indalo yabo njalo ngokuvumelana nokuphela abakufunayo, nakuba bengenakho ukulawula okuphelele phezu kwendaba.

Uma bephumelela, kungokwemvelo kangakanani ukuthi uNkulunkulu aphumelele, Ongeyena nje umbusi wezinto, kodwa uMdali wazo, Owathi, lapho Ekudala, Wayazi ukuthi Wayezozisebenzisa kanjani. Yini eyayingavimbela imvelo yomuntu ukuba ivumelane ezintweni zonke nenjongo uNkulunkulu ayeyidalele? NguNkulunkulu obusa umuzi. Futhi lona impela umsebenzi Wakhe omkhulu kunayo yonke, umsebenzi oncomekayo wezandla Zakhe. Futhi ukufeza kwakho akakuphathisanga muntu noma iNgelosi, kodwa wakugcina kuYe. Akukhona yini okunengqondo ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqikelela kakhulu kunanoma yimuphi omunye umdwebi ukuze agcine imithetho edingekayo endalweni? Futhi uma kukhulunywa hhayi kunoma yini, kodwa okuhle kakhulu kwendalo yaKhe? Ubani omunye uNkulunkulu angamhlinzeka uma kungenjalo Kuye? Futhi ngempela uPawulu ucela umbhishobhi (ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, njengoba aziwa kanjalo) ngaphambi kokunakekela okuhle okuvamile, ukuba ahlele yonke into enokuxhumana naye kanye nendlu yakhe.
9. Lapho zonke lezi zinto zenzeka endaweni eyodwa: uMbusi wendawo yonke onobulungisa kunabo bonke, isikhonzi esifaneleka kakhulu sohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, omkhulu kunayo yonke imisebenzi yoMdali ezikhathini zasendulo – kungashoda kanjani konke okudingekayo? Ngoba kuyadingeka ukulondoloza ukuvumelana kanye ne-symphony ephelele kukho konke, futhi akukho lutho okufanele lungafaneleki kulo msebenzi omkhulu futhi omangalisayo. Ngoba uNkulunkulu ulungile ngokwedlulele. Lowo owadala zonke izinto njengoba kufanele, futhi “ulinganisa zonke izinto ngesilinganiso sokulunga kwaKhe.” Njengempendulo yakho konke lokho ubulungisa bukaNkulunkulu obukufunayo, iNcasakazi, okuwukuphela kwayo eyayifaneleka, yanikeza iNdodana yayo. Futhi waba unina waLowo okwakufanele ukuba abe unina. Futhi ngisho noma yayingekho enye inzuzo eqinisweni lokuthi uNkulunkulu waba yindodana yomuntu, singaphikisa ngokuthi iqiniso lokuthi kwakulungile ngokuphelele ukuthi iNcasakazi ibe unina kaNkulunkulu kwakwanele ukubangela ukuvela kweZwi.

Ngokuba uma Ongenasici egcina zonke izinto abebophekile ukuba azigcine, uma eziveza njengendoda ebonga kangaka, engaphuthelwa lutho lwento ayikweletayo, pho uNkulunkulu angaba nobulungisa kanjani na? Uma iNcasakazi ingazange ishiye neyodwa yalezo zinto ezingase zembule unina kaNkulunkulu, futhi imthanda ngothando olukhulu kangaka, kangangokuthi kwakuyoba yinto engakholeki ngokuphelele ukuthi uNkulunkulu akufanele akubheke njengomsebenzi Wakhe ukuyinika imbuyiselo elinganayo, ibe ngeyakhe. Indodana. Ake sithi futhi, uma uNkulunkulu enika amakhosi amabi njengokufisa kwawo, angamthatheli kanjani unina lowo ovumelana nesifiso sakhe kukho konke na? Lesi sipho sasinomusa futhi simfanele obusisiwe. Ngakho-ke, lapho uGabriyeli emtshela ngokucacile ukuthi wayezozala uNkulunkulu uqobo - ngoba lokhu kwacaciswa ngamazwi akhe, ukuthi Lowo owayezozalwa "uyobusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube phakade, nombuso wakhe awuyikuba nakuphela." futhi iNcasakazi yazamukela izindaba ngenjabulo, njengokungathi izwa into evamile, into eyayingeyona neze inqaba, noma engavumelani nalokho ngokuvamile okwenzekayo.

10. Esho lokho kwahle kwenzeka konke. “Futhi uLizwi waba yinyama futhi wakha phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho, ngokushesha nje lapho iNcasakazi iphendula uNkulunkulu, yabe isithola kuYe uMoya Odala leyo nyama enjengonkulunkulu. Izwi lakhe ‘laliyizwi lamandla,’ njengoba kusho uDavide. Futhi ngakho, ngezwi likamama iZwi likaBaba lathatha isimo. Futhi ngezwi lendalo, uMdali uyakha. Futhi njengoba nje, lapho uNkulunkulu ethi “makube-khona ukukhanya,” ngokushesha kwaba khona ukukhanya, kanjalo ngokushesha ngezwi leNcasakazi kwavela ukukhanya kweqiniso futhi kwahlanganiswa nenyama yomuntu, futhi Lowo okhanyisela “wonke umuntu ozayo emhlabeni” wakhulelwa.

O, ingcebo yomphefumulo ohlanzekile, lowo ngamazwi awo ambalwa uye wasakaza phezu kwethu izimpahla ezingenakonakala! Ngoba lamazwi aphendule umhlaba waba yizulu futhi athulula isiHogo, akhulula ababoshiwe. Benza izulu ukuba kuhlale abantu futhi basondeza izingelosi kubantu kangangokuthi zahlanganisa izulu nesintu ngomdanso oyingqayizivele ozungeza Lowo okhona kokubili ngesikhathi esisodwa, ezungeza Lowo, enguNkulunkulu, owaba umuntu.
Ngala mazwi akho, yikuphi ukubonga okuyofanele ukukunikeza? Sizonibiza ngokuthini, njengoba phakathi kwabantu kungekho okulingana nawe? Ngokuba amazwi ethu angawasemhlabeni, uze udlule eziqongweni zonke zomhlaba. Ngakho-ke, uma amazwi okudumisa kufanele abhekiswe kuwe, kufanele kube umsebenzi wezingelosi, ingqondo yamakherubi, ngolimi lomlilo. Ngakho-ke, nathi, njengoba sesikukhumbule kakhulu, impumelelo yakho futhi sacula ngokusemandleni ethu kuwe, insindiso yethu, manje sifuna ukuthola izwi lengelosi. Futhi sifika ekubingeleleni kukaGabriyeli, ngaleyo ndlela sihloniphe yonke intshumayelo yethu: “Jabula, obusisiwe, uJehova unawe!”.
Kodwa siphe, Nkosazana, singagcini nje ngokukhuluma izinto eziletha udumo nenkazimulo kuye, nakuwe owamzalayo, kodwa futhi ukuba uzenze. Silungiseleni sibe yizindawo zakhe zokuhlala, ngokuba inkazimulo ingekaye kuze kube phakade. Amen.
