11. Umlayezo, Januwari 4, 1947

Ngibona uNkosikazi emi. Uthi,
"Mabafune ukwesekwa eQinisweni .
UNkosikazi uyangivumela ukuthi ngihambise isandla sami phezu komhlaba, futhi ngizwa ubuhlungu obukhulu ngaphakathi. UNkosikazi uthi,
"Lona umhlaba wamanje .
Ngihambisa isandla sami phezu komhlaba futhi. Bese isithombe siyashintsha, futhi ngokuzumayo umhlaba uba ngohlukile ngokuphelele. UNkosikazi uthi,
"Lona umhlaba wesikhathi esizayo. Unzima kakhulu. Umhlaba uzozibhubhisa wona .
UNkosikazi usho la mazwi okugcina ngokudabuka, sengathi uxwayisa abantu: uma niqhubeka kanje, umhlaba uzozibhubhisa wona.

Umlayezo ongenhla wakhela phezu kowangaphambilini, owawukhuluma ngesivini seNkosi, futhi manje ubhekisela eSivumelwaneni noNkulunkulu esenziwa phansi kweNtaba iGerizimu neNtaba i-Ebali—isisekelo semibono kaMarian.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ibonisa u-Ida Peerdeman umbono wezwe lanamuhla kanye nenhlekelele elisongelayo uma isintu singashintshi ukuziphatha kwaso.
Lapho u-Ida Peerdeman elula isandla sakhe phezu kwezwe lamanje, uzwa ubuhlungu; nokho, lapho ebona umfanekiso wesikhathi esizayo, uzwa isandla sakhe sinzima. Lobunzima bufanekisela isijeziso—njengoba echazwa—esingawi eZulwini kodwa siwumphumela wezenzo zesintu. Yisintu esiletha lokhu ngokwaso ngokwenqaba izindinganiso ezifana nothando lomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, nokulunga, oku—njengoba sishilo kuMlayezo odlule—okuyisibonakaliso sikaKristu, uthingo. Kuphela lapho lezi zindinganiso zibuyela ezinhliziyweni zabantu lapho ukuthula kweqiniso, uKristu afuna ukusihola khona, kungenzeka khona.
Ingalo ka-Ida Peerdeman iba umfanekiso wengalo kaNkulunkulu—ithuluzi uNkulunkulu asebenza ngalo emhlabeni. Sibona izwe lanamuhla lenqaba uNkulunkulu, iNdodana yaKhe, nezinceku zaKhe, njengasemfanekisweni womlimi nesivini, libazwisa ubuhlungu obuziveza ngokwalo. Lapho uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zaKhe zenqatshwa khona, kuvela isiphithiphithi—futhi yilesi sithombe esidabukisayo esivezwa ku-Ida Peerdeman.

Marko 12:1-9
12:1. Waqala ukukhuluma nabo ngemifanekiso, wathi: “Umuntu othile watshala isivini, wasibiyela ngodonga, wemba isikhamo sewayini, wakha umbhoshongo. Ekugcineni, wasiqashisa kubalimi, wahamba.
12:2 Ngesikhathi esifanele , wathuma inceku kubalimi ukuba ithathe kubo isabelo sezithelo zesivini.
12:3 Bayibamba, bayishaya , bayimukisa ingenalutho.
12:4 Wabe esethuma enye inceku kubo, bayishaya ekhanda, bayihlambalaza.
12:5 Wathumela enye futhi, bayibulala . Wathuma nezinye eziningi, ezinye kuzo bazishaya, ezinye bazibulala.
12:6 Wayenenye indodana, ayithandayo; wayithumela kubo ekugcineni, ngokuba wathi phakathi kwakhe: ‘Bayakuyihlonipha indodana yami.’
12:7 Kodwa labo balimi bathi omunye komunye: ‘Lo uyindlalifa.’ Wozani, masimbulale, ifa libe ngelethu.
12:8 Base bembamba, bambulala, bamphonsa ngaphandle kwesivini .
12:9 Uzokwenzenjani umninisivini? Uzofika ababhubhise abalimi, anike abanye isivini.

Emfanekisweni womninindlu nesivini, sifunda ukuthi umninindlu wathumela izinceku zakhe kubalimi abasebenza esivinini sakhe ukuze bamnike isabelo sakhe sesivuno. Kodwa-ke, bashaya izinceku zakhe futhi ekugcineni babulala nendodana yakhe. Lo mfanekiso uthola ukuzwakala kwawo esikhathini sethu.
UBaba neNdodana bathumela iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ukuyoyala izisebenzi esivinini. Kodwa, esikhundleni sokulalela amazwi ayo, abaningi babo balwa nayo—njengoba nje abaProfethi noKristu uqobo lwakhe bake balwa nayo. Abantu akumelwe baphucwe ukwesekwa yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, eneqiniso, njengoba kufakazelwa yiziprofetho ezidluliselwe ngo-Ida Peerdeman.
Njengoba nje abalimi basendulo babethatha umkhiqizo wesivini ukuze bachume futhi baduduzeke, kunjalo nanamuhla. Kukhona ukuntuleka kokuqapha: abaningi bakhohliswa umoya waleli zwe, ofisa ukuthi labo abangabakaKristu bayeke ukuqapha, banikele intando yabo kuye, bangabonisi sinyathelo, futhi bahluleke ukusebenzisa amathalente abawanikwe nguNkulunkulu. Ukuchuma, induduzo, namandla yilokho uSathane alinga ngakho uKristu ehlane—ngakho-ke, wonke umuntu okhonza uNkulunkulu kumelwe alindele izilingo ezifanayo.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ifisa ukubuyisela uKristu emhlabeni ngoba “wathathwa” emhlabeni—njengakuqala eNtabeni Yeminqumo, lapho abafundi Bakhe bephazanyiswa yizindaba zasemhlabeni.

Esethulweni esingaphambi kwencazelo yemiyalezo yeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, sixoxe kabanzi ngeSivumelwano esivuselelwe phansi kweNtaba iGerizimu neNtaba i-Ebali. Kuleli qophelo, ake sikhumbule ukuthi uphawu lweNtaba Yezibusiso—iGerizimu—yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, eyake yaba uMariya.
Izithombe ezilandelayo zalo myalezo zibonisa umnsalo lapho kubhalwe khona amanani amathathu. Ngakwesokudla—lapho sibheka isithombe sibheke iNtaba iGerizimu neNtaba i-Ebali—yigama elithi “Iqiniso.” Ngakho-ke sithola umyalezo ocacile: ukuthembela eQinisweni, kwiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, kuletha isibusiso—futhi yilokhu kanye izwe lanamuhla elikudingayo kakhulu.
Kungaye lapho umhlaba wathola khona isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu esikhulu kunazo zonke—uJesu—futhi ngaye angabuya futhi. Kuzo zonke izibonakaliso ezenzeke emakhulwini eminyaka, ngokuphendukela kuMariya, sithola uJesu.

Ubuhlungu u-Ida Peerdeman abuzwayo buveza iqiniso elingokomoya: isintu senqaba usizo lukaNkulunkulu, sivukela uMdali futhi simbangela ukuhlupheka. Le ngalo eyeluliwe uNkulunkulu afisa ngayo ukufinyelela isintu ngabaNgcwele Bakhe, abaProfethi, abaHluleli, neNdodana neNdodakazi Yakhe—uKristu neNkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe.
Kungabo lapho iQiniso—uNkulunkulu—likhuluma khona, elilahlwa isintu, lizihlukanisa nokuphila kothando, ubulungiswa, nokulunga.
Umsebenzi ka-Ida Peerdeman kufanele futhi uqondwe ngokukhanya kwalo Mlayezo. NjengoKristu, u-Ida uzobhekana nokuhlupheka ezandleni zabantu—abefundisi nabantu abavamile—ethatha phezu kwakhe, njengokungathi, isiqalekiso esibangelwa ukuntuleka kwethu ukholo nokwenqaba iZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Impilo yakhe, ephawulwe ngokumemezela iQiniso, iba yindlela yesiphambano, futhi yena ngokwakhe—umlingi kaKristu. Emizamweni yakhe yokuletha ubuhle kanye nomyalezo kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, uzolahlwa ngokuphindaphindiwe, angaqondwa kahle, futhi aze ahlekwe usulu.

Umfanekiso wesivini uvela eTestamenteni Elidala, eNcwadini ka-Isaya, "eNgomeni Yesivini," lapho isivini kungu-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu alindele kuye izithelo zobulungiswa nokulunga, ekugcineni angazitholi lapho.
Lesi simo siphinde sivele emazwini eNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, ebheka isivini—okungukuthi, kuleli zwe—futhi ehluleka ukubona ubulungiswa, ukulunga, noma uthando lomakhelwane:

Isaya 5:1-7
5:1. Ngizohlabelela umngane wami ingoma yothando lwakhe ngesivini sakhe! Umngane wami wayenesivini egqumeni elivundile.
5:2. Wasigubha wasisusa amatshe, watshala umvini omuhle kuso. Wakha umbhoshongo phakathi kwawo, waqopha isikhamo sewayini kuwo.
Wayelindele ukuthi sizothela izithelo zomvini, kodwa sathela izithelo zomvini ezimuncu.
5:3. "Manje-ke, nina bantu baseJerusalema namadoda akwaJuda, yahlulelani, ngiyanincenga, phakathi kwami nesivini sami.
5:4. Yini enye okufanele ngiyenze esivinini sami, futhi angizange ngiyenze kuso? Kungani, ngesikhathi ngilinde ukuba sithele izithelo zomvini, sathela izithelo zomvini ezimuncu?
5:5 Ngakho-ke, ngizonibonisa engizokwenza esivinini sami: Ngizosusa uthango lwaso, futhi sizophangwa; Ngizodiliza udonga lwaso, futhi sizonyathelwa phansi.
5:6 Ngizosenza sibe yihlane; ngeke sinqunywe noma sitshalwe ukhula, futhi kuzokhula amakhakhasi nameva. Ngizovimbela amafu ukuba anise phezu kwaso.
5:7 Manje isivini sikaJehova Sebawoti siyindlu ka-Israyeli, futhi amadoda akwaJuda ayisitshalo sakhe esikhethiwe. Lapho walinda ubulungisa, kodwa kwakukhona igazi; nokulunga, kodwa kwaba khona ukukhala kokwesaba.

EmiBhalweni elandelayo, iNkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe imemezela umzabalazo phakathi kwezombusazwe ezisekelwe emibonweni yabantu kanye noMoya kaNkulunkulu kuKristu. Umuntu udinga ukuqaphela ngokucophelela izenzakalo ezenzeka emhlabeni namuhla ukuze abone ukuthi lokhu kubhekana kuqhubeka ngokugcwele. Ohulumeni abaningi bathatha izinyathelo zokususa ubuKristu empilweni yomphakathi, babushintsha ngemibono yabantu umoya wabo onganikezi ukuphila okuphakade kodwa okhonza kuphela izithakazelo ezithile "zamandla." Lokhu kuyinto enhle engamanga engalethi inkululeko, kodwa egqilazayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlaselwa kwezombusazwe kubuKristu kanye nobuntu bukaJesu Kristu kuphuca abantu ithemba nokusekelwa ngokomoya, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka. Okwamanje, uKristu uyaqonda kahle ubuhlungu—kokubili ngokomzimba nangokomoya. Ngenxa yenzuzo yesintu nokuthula emhlabeni, wazithoba, wabekezelela konke okubuhlungu, ngakho-ke angaba ukusekelwa kwabo kwangempela kanye nesibonelo sokulingiswa.
Lapho ezombusazwe zifulathela uNkulunkulu, ziphuca abantu umthombo wazo ojulile wethemba, futhi izwe elimenqabayo licwila esiphithiphithini futhi liba "nzima" kakhulu.
Sibona imibono yezombusazwe ibekwa ngaphezu kwesintu. Eqinisweni elinjalo, umuntu uyayeka ukuba umgomo futhi abe yinto, isikhwama emdlalweni wezithakazelo. Izwe lapho imibono ibaluleke kakhulu kunesintu kumele liwe khona maduze noma kamuva, ngoba lizibhubhisa ngokwalo ngaphakathi.
UJesu ufundisa eVangelini: "ISabatha lenzelwa umuntu, hhayi umuntu ngenxa yeSabatha" (Marku 2:27). Lo myalezo usasebenza nanamuhla: yonke imithetho nazo zonke izinqumo zezombusazwe kufanele zikhonze isintu kanye nesithunzi saso. Zonke izinqumo ezingaveli othandweni, ubulungiswa, neqiniso ziholela ekuwohlokeni kokuziphatha nasekuhluphekeni. Ukwenqaba iQiniso—uNkulunkulu—kuphumela ekunganaki abanye. Esikhundleni salo, kuvela inzondo, ukungabi namthetho, namanga.
Izwe elinokhahlo liwumphumela wobulukhuni benhliziyo yomuntu, enqaba ukulalela iQiniso uNkulunkulu alwela ukulikhuluma ngazo zonke izindlela ezingaba khona. Liyizwe elidala iqiniso lalo—elibonakalayo futhi empeleni elingamanga. La manga aholeli ekuphileni kodwa ekuzibhubhiseni.

Khona-ke uNkosikazi, njengokungathi uphethe imbulunga ngesandla sakhe bese eyiphendula, uthi,
"Izinto kumele zibe ngcono futhi, kodwa..." Ngibheka
lokho uNkosikazi akukhombayo futhi ngibona amasonto ahlukahlukene. Nginomuzwa wokuthi lawa akusiwo amasonto amaKatolika. Phakathi, ngibona iRoma. UNkosikazi uyaxwayisa futhi, enikina umunwe wakhe ethi,
"Roma, qaphela!" Khona-ke
ngibona iSonto laseNgilandi, futhi ngiyaliqaphela ngaphakathi. Nginomuzwa wokuthi lolo shintsho luzofika lapho.

Emfanekisweni womyalezo, sibona iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke inakekela isivini. Iphethe imbulunga ezandleni zayo, iyizungeza. Lesi senzo esingokomfanekiso sibonisa ukuthi isivini sikaNkulunkulu singumhlaba wonke, hhayi isizwe esikhethiwe kuphela—njengoba kuqinisekiswa yigama layo: iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, lapho uMariya ebonakala khona kubantu.
Lapho iNkosazana ibheka “isivini” kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, ayitholi uthando, ubulungiswa, noma ukulunga. Lokhu kubhekisela ngqo eNcwadini ka-Isaya kanye “neNgoma Yesivini,” lapho uNkulunkulu ehluleka ukubona khona isithelo esilindelwe phakathi kwabantu bakhe.
INkosazana ithi “izinto zingaba ngcono futhi,” kodwa ingxoxo eyengeziwe iqondisa amehlo ethu eBandleni likaKristu. ISonto liyithuluzi elisezandleni zikaNkulunkulu, elinomsebenzi walo ukuvikela ubukhona bukaKristu phakathi kwabantu nokuhlakulela izindinganiso azifundisa futhi waziphila. Izithelo ezinjalo kuphela ezingamjabulisa uNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke iSonto kumele livimbele umhlaba ukuthi ungaweli esimweni esifana naleso sangaphambi kukazamcolo—lapho ukonakala kwezinhliziyo zabantu kwakukhulu kangangokuthi okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuzihlanza kwakuwukubhubhisa uhlelo oludala bese uqala kabusha.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhuthaza iRoma, emi “enkabeni yomhlaba,” ukuba ihlale iqaphile. Igcizelela ukuthi eminye imiphakathi yesonto—ngaphezu kwakho konke, iSonto Lase-Anglican—ayifuni ubunye neSonto LamaKatolika kodwa ifisa ukulandela indlela yayo, ehlukile kwekaNkulunkulu.
IRoma kumele iqaphe funa uKristu antshontshwe kulo. Izinhlangano eziningi nabaprofethi bamanga basebenza emhlabeni, bezivunela izithelo “egameni likaKristu,” kuyilapho empeleni bedukisa abantu kuNkulunkulu. Lokhu kunjalo nangemiphakathi, ngokuphula ubunye nokusuka ezimfundisweni zeSonto LamaKatolika, eye yenza uqhekeko, yephula uhlelo olumiswe nguNkulunkulu.

INkosikazi iya phambili ithi,
"Bheka!" Kungazelelwe
ngibona inqwaba yemibhoshongo yesonto ehlukene, isondelene. INkosikazi ithatha iteyipu yensimbi iyisonga yonke indawo, iyixhumanise. Ibe isiyidedela iteyipu bese iphinda kathathu ithi,
"Phezulu!" Njengoba
ikhuluma, iphakamisa izandla zayo, isikhathi ngasinye iphakeme kancane. Bese, ngaphezu kwamasonto, iqala ukubhala amagama. Ngifunda ngokuzwakalayo: "Thanda umakhelwane wakho." Lokhu ikubhala phakathi, ngaphezu kwemibhoshongo. Bese ibhala ohlangothini lwesokudla, kodwa phansi kancane: "Ubulungiswa." Manje iya ohlangothini lwesobunxele bese ibhala lapho: "Iqiniso." Phakathi naleso sikhathi, ngiyizwa ithi,
"Konke lokhu, empeleni, akukatholakali; kukangaki ngikhulume ngakho!" Futhi
inikina ikhanda layo ngozwela.
Kungazelelwe, ngibona iRoma futhi. Ikhomba kuyo, iNkosikazi ithi,
"Angikwazi ukubaxwayisa ngokwanele ukuthi, ngendlela enhle, bazolandela lokhu .

Njengoba umhlaba wonke uyisivini esisodwa lapho uNkulunkulu akhe khona umbhoshongo owodwa, ubunye bubalulekile phakathi kwamaBandla kaKristu amahlelo ahlukene, isikhungo sawo esingokomoya sihlala iRoma. Emfanekisweni woMlayezo, sibona iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ihlanganisa wonke amaBandla ngokuwazungeza ngebhande lensimbi, elibe selikhulula.
Lesi senzo sifanekisela inqubo yokwakha umbhoshongo owodwa esivinini okungumhlaba wonke. Ibhande lensimbi, ngaphezu kwendima yalo yokuhlanganisa amaBandla abe ngumbhoshongo owodwa, liphinde lisebenze njengothango emfanekisweni wesivini—noma ngokunembile, ukungabikho kwalo lapho iNkosazana ikhulula ibhande—okugcizelela ukuthi isivini singumhlaba wonke. Ukuqhathaniswa kombhoshongo neSonto kubonisa umsebenzi walo emhlabeni: yindawo lapho abalimi kufanele banakekele, bavikele, futhi batshale khona umhlaba abawuphathisiwe.
Ukuba “ngumlimi” esivinini akuqinisekisi ukuphila okuphakade, ngoba, njengoba umfanekiso wesivini ubonisa, abalimi ababi ekugcineni bayabhujiswa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuba yilungu leSonto kuphela akwanele—okudingekayo ukwethembeka kuNkulunkulu, ukulalela intando yaKhe, kanye nokuzimisela ukusebenza ngokunezithelo esivinini saKhe.
Ngakho-ke ukuphendukela kuNkulunkulu kubalulekile, okuyinto iNkosazana yeZizwe Zonke, ngezenzo zayo ezembulwe eMlayezweni, ehlose ukuyidlulisela kithi ngokusobala. Ikhanda eliphakanyisiwe elibhekisele kuNkulunkulu libhekisela eNcwadini kaLevitikusi:

ULevi 26:13 NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, owanikhipha ezweni laseGibhithe, ukuze ningabi yizigqila zabo. Ngaphula imigoqo yejoka lenu nganikhulula ukuba nihambe niphakamise amakhanda enu .

Emfanekisweni woMlayezo, sibona ukuthi iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, ngokuqondisa amehlo “ezisebenzi zesivini” kuNkulunkulu, ibaqondisa futhi ekhoneni elibhalwe ngezindinganiso zothando ngomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, neqiniso. Lokhu kubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu uxhumene ngokungenakuhlukaniswa nalezi zindinganiso. Yilabo kuphela abaphila ngempela uthando, ubulungiswa, neqiniso abalizwa ngempela iZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Njengoba sishilo eMilayezweni edlule, uNkulunkulu usembulela izinto zaseZulwini ngezinto ezibonakalayo. Ngakho-ke, ukuhola ama-Israyeli aphume eGibhithe—indawo yobugqila nokucindezelwa—ngomqondo ongokomoya kusho ukukhulula umoya womuntu ekubusweni yinyama, lapho umphefumulo uvame ukucindezelwa khona yithonya lomoya waleli zwe.
Lokhu akukhona ukushiya umzimba, kodwa mayelana nokuguqulwa kwawo nokugcwala kwawo uMoya kaNkulunkulu, ukuze umuntu ahlangane nentando kaNkulunkulu. Futhi intando kaNkulunkulu yembulwa ekubuseni kothando ngomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, nokulunga emhlabeni. Ekhululiwe ejokeni lomubi, umuntu uphendukela kuNkulunkulu, ngoba umphefumulo wakhe unomthombo wawo kuYe.
UKristu uthi eVangelini ukuthi weza ukuzophakamisa ijoka elinzima lomuntu futhi amnike elakhe—elilula nelimnandi. Yilokhu kanye uNkosikazi Wezizwe Zonke akushoyo: uthando lomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, nokulunga kuphela oluholela umuntu kuNkulunkulu futhi luvumele uMoya waKhe uhlale ngaphakathi kuye ngempela.
Okwamanje, izenzakalo esizibonayo namuhla eBandleni likaKristu zibonisa ukuthi isono siya ngokuya singena. Sibona ezinye izingxenye zaso zisuka kuNkulunkulu. Kwenzeka into efanayo nasemfanekisweni wesivini: abalimi bavukela umnini-bamelana noNkulunkulu noKristu-futhi baqala ukuxhaphaza abantu ngezinjongo zabo.

UKristu wamisa uSt. Peter njengesisekelo sokwakhiwa kweBandla lakhe-umlindo wakhe, lapho eqondisa khona amasimu. Nanamuhla, sibona umsebenzi womoya omubi kule nsimu, ozama ngazo zonke izindlela ukuphula ubunye beBandla, uletha isiphithiphithi kanye nehlazo.
ISonto kufanele libe yindawo lapho uKristu esebenza khona ngempela emhlabeni. Yingakho liba yisisulu sokuhlaselwa kwezombusazwe kanye nokubhekana ngokomoya. Ukuze kulwiwe ngempumelelo nalezi zinsongo, ubunye ngaphakathi kweSonto kanye nokuphendukela kuNkulunkulu ngokugcwele kubalulekile—izinto ezintulekayo ezindaweni eziningi namuhla ngeshwa.
Umlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke wembula ngokusobala ukuthi kukhona ukwahlukana ngaphakathi kweSonto, ngisho nokufulathela uNkulunkulu. Lesi simo siphambene ngokuphelele nezimfundiso zikaKristu. ISonto lingamemezela kanjani iQiniso likaNkulunkulu emhlabeni uma lona ngokwalo lingayihloniphi leli Qiniso? Lo mbuzo ubeka inselele enkulu kwabathembekile nabefundisi.
NgoMlayezo wakhe, iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ibiza iSonto ukuba livuselele ngokomoya futhi libuyele kuNkulunkulu. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho lizokwazi ukufeza umsebenzi walo—ukuba ukukhanya phakathi kobumnyama, isibani seqiniso, ubulungiswa, nothando.

Isithombe esivezwe eMlayezweni sibonisa ukuthi inani elibaluleke kakhulu iSonto okufanele liqondiswe yilo uthando lomakhelwane—ngencazelo yalo yangempela nejulile. Eceleni kwalo kumi ubulungiswa neqiniso. Lezi zindinganiso ezintathu zakha isivumelwano esingokomoya noNkulunkulu—akukho neyodwa kuzo engashiywa, yize uthando luhlala luyinani elikhulu nelibaluleke kakhulu. Uthando okufanele lulolonge ukucabanga kweSonto, izenzo, kanye nesimo sengqondo ngomhlaba nomakhelwane.
Umlayezo ukwenza kucace ukuthi lezi zindinganiso eziyisisekelo zisantuleka ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweSonto. Lesi sixwayiso esivela kuNkosikazi Wezizwe Zonke kumele sithathwe ngokungathi sína—njengesimemo sokuguquka, ubunye, nokuvuselelwa, ngaphambi kokuba iSonto libe yisikhungo nje kunokuba umphakathi ophilayo kaKristu.

Bese ngibona izinguquko ezinkulu ezenzekayo. INkosikazi ingivumela ukuthi ngibone lokhu. Ngibona amagagasi amakhulu abomvu egcwala umhlaba, ejula futhi ejulile. Lapho ngiwabheka isikhathi eside, angena ngokujula. Ngizwa iNkosikazi ithi,
"Lokhu kuhle, kodwa... kakhulu ngoMoya, ngeqiniso, ngobulungiswa, nangothando lomakhelwane .
Bese kuba sengathi, eminyakeni eminingi kamuva, ngibona imisinga yokomoya ehluke ngokuphelele isondela. INkosikazi ithi,
"Ngiyaxwayisa iRoma futhi. Kumelwe ukuba babheka kude... babheka kude, kodwa..." Futhi
ngenkathi iNkosikazi igcizelela la mazwi, konke kuyanyamalala ngokuzumayo.

Njengoba sesikhulume kakade eMlayezweni mayelana nesivini, umbhoshongo wokulinda, kanye nothango oluzungezile, manje sekuyisikhathi sokuma esikhamweni sewayini. Umfanekiso oseMlayezweni ubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi umhlaba uqala ukugcwala umbala obomvu—umbala wobusoshalisti. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lo bomvu uveza ubudlelwano nojusi wamagilebhisi ocindezelwe esikhamweni sewayini.
Lolu hlelo, ezisekelweni zalo, luthi lunelungelo lokusebenzela okuhle kwesintu. Lumemezela imibono yokulingana, ubuzalwane, kanye nokunakekela abampofu. Kodwa-ke, empeleni, inhloso yalo yangempela iphenduka ukulawula nokugqilazwa kwesintu. Yingakho iNkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe igcizelela kakhulu ukuthi yonke imibono nemithetho kumele iqondiswe uMoya weQiniso—uMoya oLuthando lweqiniso, iQiniso, kanye noBulungiswa. UNkulunkulu uyazi inhliziyo yomuntu, ufunda kahle izinhloso zayo, futhi uyazi ukuthi amazwi awalandelwa yizenzo nini.
Lapho uNkulunkulu exoshwa ezinhliziyweni zabantu, le ndawo ayilokothi ihlale ingenalutho. Lesi sikhala siqala ngokushesha ukugcwala eminye imibono,—engatholakali ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu—eba yinyumba ngokomoya futhi ekugcineni ibe yincithakalo. Enye yemibono enjalo ubukhomanisi: uhlelo olungase lubonakale lungenangozi, ngisho noluhloniphekile, kodwa empeleni—ngaphandle kwezimpande zalo kuNkulunkulu—luba umbono wokungabi namthetho, ukungabi nabulungisa, kanye nokuntuleka kothando. Ngaphandle kokubhekisela kuNkulunkulu, ngisho nokucabanga okuhle kakhulu kulahlekelwa umoya walo, futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kuphenduke ngokuphelele.
Abantu bavame ukwenqaba uNkulunkulu ngoba ukuguquka kweqiniso kudinga umzamo, ukuzilahla, kanye nomzabalazo wangaphakathi. Okwamanje, imvelo yomuntu ivame ukufuna okulula, okukhululekile, nokujabulisayo—okuhambisana nemizwa kodwa okungaholeli ekukhuleni ngokomoya. Impilo enjalo, ebonakala ikhululekile, empeleni iba ubugqila: ukuzinikela emangeni kanye nendlela yokuzibhubhisa.
Uma iSonto lizofeza umsebenzi walo ngokwethembeka, kumele liqaphele izinsongo ezingokomoya nezenhlalo kusengaphambili, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, lembule uNkulunkulu kubantu. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho ubuhle bungaqala khona ngempela ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Kodwa-ke, ubunye bangaphakathi kanye nokuhambisana kwesenzo kuhlala kuyisimo esidingekayo.
Ngeshwa, lobu bunye buya bubhujiswa kakhulu yizingxabano, izingxabano, kanye nokungezwani kwangaphakathi. Lokhu kuhlukana kwenza iSonto libe buthaka ngaphakathi, kuliphuce ikhono lalo lokuphendula izinselele zanamuhla futhi linciphise ukwethembeka kwalo ekumemezeleni iQiniso. Noma kunjalo, uma abantu bebheka iSonto, kufanele babone ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu kulo—hhayi imbangela yokuhlazeka.

Ngenkathi sixoxa ngomfanekiso wesivini, kufanelekile futhi ukubhekisela eVangelini likaJohane, elibonisa indawo uKristu egeza izinyawo zabafundi. Emfanekisweni, sifunda ukuthi umninindlu watshala isivini, wabeka udonga oluzungezile, wemba isikhamo sewayini, wakha umbhoshongo. Wabe esesiqashisa kubalimi wahamba. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, eVangelini likaJohane (Johane 13:1-17), uJesu—azi ukuthi ihora lokubuyela kwakhe kuBaba selifikile—uzibhinca ngethawula wageza izinyawo zabafundi bakhe.
Inhloso efanayo ivela kuzo zombili lezi zincwadi: njengoba nje umninindlu emfanekisweni ephathisa isivini kubalimi futhi ehamba, kanjalo noKristu uphathisa “isivini” sakhe kubafundi bakhe. Ulindele ukuba banakekele futhi banakekele umhlaba abaphathiswe wona egameni laKhe—futhi baye kuBaba, bebashiye benomthwalo wemfanelo wezithelo zesivini.
Emfanekisweni woMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, umbala obomvu uqala ukugcwala emhlabeni. Umbala wejusi lamagilebhisi elicindezelwe, kodwa futhi uphawu lobusoshalisti. Lokhu kubhekisela ngokucacile esikhamweni sewayini. Esikhathini esidlule, ijusi lalicindezelwa ngokunyathela amagilebhisi ngezinyawo, ngakho-ke ukugeza izinyawo kuthatha incazelo ejulile nengokomfanekiso kulo mongo. Abafundi okufanele "bacindezele" izithelo zesivini kumele babe nezinyawo ezihlanzekile ukuze bangonakalisi ukunambitheka kwewayini. Umsebenzi wabo ukwakha, ukuhlanza, nokuqondisa imiphefumulo yabantu—ngakho-ke, kumele babe msulwa emzimbeni nasenhliziyweni.
Njengoba ubomvu bobusoshalisti buqala ukungena emhlabeni, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ithi "iwayini" lihle, kodwa lidinga izinongo—"kakhulu ngoMoya, ngempela ngeQiniso, Ubulungiswa, noThando lomakhelwane." Lezi zindinganiso azikwazi ukuhlala ezindebeni kuphela; kumele zigxile enhliziyweni yomuntu. UKristu usebenza ngqo enhliziyweni yomuntu, eyihlanza, ngoba zonke izono zizalwa kuqala kuyo.
Ngokombono, ubusoshalisti buziveza njengohlelo olulwela ubulungiswa bomphakathi nokulunga. Nokho, njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, yonke imibono yabantu, ngisho naleyo eneziqubulo eziphakeme, empeleni ingaholela ekugqilazweni kwabantu uma ingenawo uMoya kaNkulunkulu. Isithelo "sokuvuna" okunjalo sizoba muncu futhi sibe muncu, singenabo ubumnandi—okufana nothando—yize singase sibonakale sikhanga ngaphandle.
Lokhu futhi kwakuyicala eliyinhloko likaKristu ngama-Israyeli: bakhanya phambi kwabantu ukuze babonise, kodwa izinhliziyo zabo zazikude noNkulunkulu. Yilokhu kanye iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke esikukhumbuzayo—ukuthi iziqubulo eziphakeme, okuhlanganisa nalezo ezimenyezelwa yi-socialism, kumelwe zingabi sezindebeni kuphela kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke ezinhliziyweni zabantu.
Iwayini elihle licacile, lingenazo izikhumba zezithelo nakho konke ukungcola, okwenqatshwayo nokushiswa. Emfanekisweni woMlayezo, umvini ufanekisela umuntu, kanye nojusi—umphefumulo wakhe. Isivuno singaphumelela noma singaphumeleli: amagilebhisi angaba mnandi, kodwa angase futhi abe muncu noma abe muncu. Ngokufanayo, imiphefumulo yabantu eyakhiwe ezimisweni ezingenawo uMoya kaNkulunkulu iba muncu futhi ibe muncu ngoba ayinabo ubumnandi, okungukuthi, uthando. Ingase ibonakale inhle ngaphandle, kodwa "ukunambitheka" kwayo kwangaphakathi kuyonakala.
Uma sibuyela esikhamweni sewayini, umqondo wokunyathela amagilebhisi usiholela eNcwadini kaGenesise, lapho uNkulunkulu esungula khona ubutha phakathi kowesifazane nenyoka. Inzalo yowesifazane kufanele ichoboze ikhanda lenyoka, kuyilapho inyoka ilinde isithende sayo. Ngakho-ke, abalimi bezivini—abafundi bakaKristu—kufanele “banyathele phansi” isono kubantu ngokomfanekiso, babahlanze ukuze “ijusi” labo, okungukuthi, umphefumulo wabo, ube mnandi futhi ujabulise uNkulunkulu. Umphefumulo “ojabulisa uNkulunkulu” ungumphefumulo onobulungisa, olungile, futhi “omnandi”—ogcwele uthando.
Kodwa-ke, ukuze abalimi bezivini bahlanze abanye, bona ngokwabo kumelwe babe msulwa. Yilokhu kanye okuvezwa ukugezwa kwezinyawo: izinyawo ezingcolile zingonakalisa iwayini, njengoba nje impilo engcolile ingonakalisa izithelo zenkonzo yabo. UKristu ucela abafundi bakhe ukuba bagezane izinyawo—njengoba enza—ubizo lokugcina ubumsulwa, ukuthula, nobunye phakathi kwabo.

Johane 13:1-5
13:1. Kwakungaphambi komkhosi wePhasika. UJesu, azi ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sesifikile sokumuka kuleli zwe aye kuYise , ebathandile abakhe abasezweni, wabathanda kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.
13:2. Ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, lapho uDeveli esekufakile enhliziyweni kaJuda Iskariyothe, indodana kaSimoni, ukumkhaphela,
13:3. Azi ukuthi uYise unikele konke ezandleni zakhe, nokuthi uvela kuNkulunkulu futhi uya kuNkulunkulu,
13:4. Wasukuma esidlweni sakusihlwa, wabeka eceleni izingubo zakhe. Wathatha ithawula, wazibopha ngalo.
13:5. Wathela amanzi esitsheni, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zabafundi , wazisula ngethawula ayelibhince ngalo.

Uma manje siphendukela eNcwadini ka-Isaya kanye "neNgoma Yesivini" equkethwe kuyo, inkulumo esetshenziswe umvangeli uJohane iyacaca, ikhuluma ngothando lukaKristu ngabakhe "kuze kube sekupheleni" (Johane 13:1). INgoma Yesivini iqala ngesimemezelo sothando lukaNkulunkulu ngesivini sakhe, esinikeza umongo ojulile wencazelo kaJohane yothando lukaKristu ngesivini sakhe kanye nabafundi abasebenza kuso - kuze kube seqophelweni lokusishiya ngokufa esiphambanweni.

U-Isaya 5:1 Ngizohlabelela umngane wami ingoma yothando lwakhe ngesivini sakhe! Umngane wami wayenesivini egqumeni elivundile.

Abafundi bakaKristu basakazeka emhlabeni wonke, baveza imiphakathi namasiko ahlukahlukene esonto. EVangelini likaJohane, sifunda ukuthi lapho uJesu egeza izinyawo zabafundi bakhe, wayesevele azi ngokukhashelwa okuzayo nguJuda Iskariyothe—okunguyena kuphela kwabayishumi nambili “owayengahlanzekile” (Johane 13:10–11). Nakuba ayeyingxenye yeqembu elingaphakathi likaKristu, inhliziyo yakhe yahlala ivaliwe emandleni okuhlanza eZwi laKhe, ifihliwe yizindaba zasemhlabeni ezazikhanga kakhulu—ngaphezu kwakho konke, imali.
Ngaphambilini kuMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, okukhulunywe ngawo ngaphambili, u-Ida Peerdeman ubona amasonto amaningi ezinhlangano ezahlukene, okuhlanganisa neSonto Lase-Anglican, lapho ezwa khona ukuthi “kuzoba noshintsho.” Ukuchazwa okungokomfanekiso kusikisela ukufana: njengoba nje uJuda, ekuqaleni owayengumfundi kaKristu futhi kamuva owamkhaphela, wayephakathi kwabaPhostoli, kanjalo neminye imiphakathi yamaKristu ngesikhathi esithile yahlukana neSonto LamaKatolika, idala uqhekeko—njengoba kwenzekile emlandweni weSonto Lase-Anglican.
Isimo senkolo sanamuhla eNgilandi sibonisa inqubo ejulile yokwehlukanisa abantu ngokwenkolo. Naphezu kokuba khona kweSonto LaseNgilandi osekungamakhulu eminyaka, ingxenye enkulu yomphakathi namuhla ayikholelwa kuNkulunkulu, futhi ingokomoya livame ukuthathelwa indawo yizindaba ezahlukahlukene zamasiko noma zezinganekwane ezingabaholeli abantu ekuPhileni naseQinisweni.
