Umlayezo 9 kaMashi 29, 1946
"Ngibona iNkosazana futhi. Ibambe uMntwana ehlombe layo. Ikhanda layo lizungezwe yi-halo futhi likhanya kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. Kunjengokungathi iNkosazana yehla, manje sengiyibona imi emhlabeni. Lo mhlaba ujikeleza njalo ngaphansi kwayo. INkosazana ingibheka ithi,
'Ngilandele .
Ngakho ngiyayilandela, futhi kunjengokungathi sihamba ngaphezu komhlaba. INkosazana iphendukela kimi ithi,
'YENA'—futhi ikhombe uMntwana—'Ngifuna ukumbuyisela emhlabeni .
Kodwa lapho isho lokhu, inikina ikhanda layo. Ngibheka uMntwana futhi ngibona uMntwana eguquka abe yiSiphambano. Kungazelelwe, isiphambano siwela phansi phambi kwami siqhekeke sibe yizicucu. Ngibheka umhlaba futhi ngiwubona ucwila ebumnyameni obuphelele. Bese ngizwa iNkosazana imemeza ithi,
'Mbuyisele emhlabeni!' Futhi
ikhombe iSiphambano esiphukile.
Umlayezo ongenhla weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke uwukuqhubeka komyalezo wangaphambilini, odala into ephelele ehambisanayo nehlangene. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ivezwa nomntwana uKristu ephumule ezingalweni zakhe futhi ekhanyisa ukukhanya. Ufaniswa nelanga, lapho umhlaba uzungeza khona, okubhekisela kumodeli ye-heliocentric yesimiso selanga. Kubalulekile ukuthi lapho iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke yehla emhlabeni nomntwana uJesu, umhlaba uzungeza njalo ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi isikhathi eside, kwakukholelwa ukuthi ezinye izidalwa zasezulwini zizungeza umhlaba. Kwaze kwaba yilapho uNicolaus Copernicus, isazi sezinkanyezi sasePoland, lapho abonisa khona ukuthi kukhona imodeli ehlukile, lapho umhlaba—kanye namanye amaplanethi—uzungeza khona ilanga. Ngokomongo woMlayezo, lo mfanekiso ubaluleke kakhulu: uma umhlaba ungazungezi ilanga, yonke iplanethi yethu ibizongena ebumnyameni. UKristu uvezwa lapha njengoKhanya okhanyisa indlela yabantu eya kuNkulunkulu; lapho engekho khona, isintu singena ebumnyameni obungokomoya.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi uKristu—ukukhanya komhlaba—unqatshwe yisintu, nokuthi ifisa ukumbuyisela emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi esizukulwaneni sethu, esimphikile ngendlela ekhethekile. Kubalulekile ukuthi uKristu ahlale njengokukhanya kwesizukulwane ngasinye, okufezwa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngemiBhalo Engcwele. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ilondolozwe ingashintshiwe futhi idluliselwe ngokwethembeka ezizukulwaneni ezilandelanayo emhlabeni wonke.
USanta uPetru wamiswa njengomqaphi weZwi Eliphilayo—obizelwe ukuliqapha, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho mandla asemhlabeni angalithonya. Kodwa-ke, imiyalezo yeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ibonakala isikisela into ehlukile. Umfanekiso kaPapa ovela emilayezweni yangaphambilini, ephendula imiBhalo Engcwele kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, ngokomfanekiso umelela umzamo wokuvumelanisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu nomoya waleli zwe. Lokhu kuwukubonakaliswa kwengcindezi evela emaqenjini amelene noKristu, efuna ukwenza buthaka umyalezo wakhe ongaguquki.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi umhlaba ulahlekelwe umbono wawo kuKristu. Abantu abaningi bayamshiya, beshiya umthombo wokukhanya nokuphila.
ISonto LamaKatolika, elasungulwa nguKristu uqobo futhi elibizelwe ukuba khona kwakhe okubonakalayo emhlabeni, lisakhona. Nokho, njengoba umyalezo wembula, ngezizathu ezahlukene awufezi ngokugcwele indima yawo yobuthunywa bevangeli yokumemezela Izindaba Ezinhle nokuholela imiphefumulo ensindisweni.
Ngokubheka emuva, sibona ukuthi lokho iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke eyaxwayisa ngakho ngesikhathi sokubonakala kwemimoya kuye kwajula kakhulu. Kuvele ukunganaki okungokomoya, okuye kwangena naseBandleni uqobo. Abapristi abaningi—esikhundleni sokuba uphawu lokuphikisa umoya waleli zwe—bakhetha ukuthula noma ukuvumelana, beqhutshwa yisifiso sokuthula nenduduzo.
IBandla, okufanele libe “usawoti womhlaba” kanye “nokukhanya kwezwe” (bheka uMathewu 5:13-14), ngokuya lishintsha umhlaba ngamandla eVangeli, linqotshwa yithonya lalo. Ngale ndlela, lilahlekelwa ubuwena balo, libe njengezwe kokubili ngokomoya nangokomzimba.
Imiyalezo yeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ayisona nje isixwayiso; futhi iyisimemo sokuvuka. Isikhumbuza ukuthi kuphela ngokubuyela kuKristu nokuhlala sithembekile ezimfundisweni zaKhe lapho iBandla lingaphinde libe ukukhanya ebumnyameni kanye nendlela eholela ensindisweni.
Ngokusho komyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, umsebenzi ka-Ida Peerdeman ukutshala kabusha isiphambano emhlabeni—ukwenza umsebenzi okufanele ufezwe yiSonto likaKristu, empeleni.
Embonweni, isiphambano siwela phansi futhi siqhekeke, futhi ngalesi senzakalo, umhlaba ungena ebumnyameni. Lesi sithombe sibhekisela esiprofethweni sika-Isaya, esikhunjulwe eMlayezweni wangaphambilini, lapho uNkulunkulu ememezela khona ukuthi uzobeka isigxobo—uphawu lweSiphambano—endaweni ephephile nehlala njalo. Kuso kuzolenga izihluthulelo zeNdlu kaDavide nazo zonke izitsha zethempeli. Kodwa-ke, kuzofika usuku lapho isigxobo sizoshelela, siwele phansi, futhi siqhekeke. Ngakho-ke umhlabathi lapho isigxobo sitshalwe khona ubalulekile. Uma idwala lapho sifakwe khona liqhekeka, isigxobo sizoshelela futhi siwele phansi.
Emfanekisweni womyalezo, sibona isiphambano esiphukile silele phansi, okuphakamisa ukufuduka kwaso esisekelweni esasikhona uKhefase—“idwala” elibhekisela kuSt. Peter. Njengoba iSiphambano, esihlotshaniswa noJesu uqobo, sesenqatshiwe futhi sasuswa kulesi sisekelo, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ifisa ukumbuyisela emhlabeni—esizukulwaneni sethu, esiqhubeka sisuka kuNkulunkulu futhi sicwila ebumnyameni obungokomoya.
Abantu banamuhla abasafuni ukuthwala iziphambano zabo; abafuni ukulingisa uKristu ekulaleleni Kwakhe intando kaBaba. Okwamanje, iSiphambano sifanekisela ukumelana nesono nokuzimisela ukuzithoba esiqondisweni sikaNkulunkulu. Lapho umuntu eyeka ukuthwala isiphambano sakhe, uyayeka nokulwa ngokomoya—aba namandla okuzivikela ezilingweni nasemandleni obumnyama. Khona-ke ubumnyama abumbozi umuntu ngamunye kuphela kodwa nomhlaba wonke.
Yingakho umsebenzi ophathiswe u-Ida Peerdeman ubaluleke kangaka. Kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi umhlaba udinga ukubuyela esiphambanweni—ekumelaneni nesono nasekulandeleni uJesu ngempela. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho kungenzeka khona ukuphuma ebumnyameni obungokomoya futhi ubuyisele ukukhanya ekukhanyeni kwawo okugcwele.
"Ngokungazelelwe ngibona isiphambano, siphelele futhi, sibekwe phakathi komhlaba. Sizungezile kumi zonke izinhlobo zabantu, kodwa amakhanda abo ephendukele eceleni. Ngokungazelelwe ngizizwa ngikhathele kakhulu futhi ngitshela iNkosazana ngakho, kodwa iyamomotheka.
Ngemuva kwalokho ngiyibona ihleli esihlalweni. Iphinde ibambe iNtwana emathangeni ayo. Le Ntwana ikhanya kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. INkosazana ithi:
'Buyelani kuYE kuqala, futhi yilapho kuphela lapho kuzofika khona Ukuthula Kweqiniso .
" INkosazana igcizelela igama elithi "Iqiniso." Bese kuvela amagama abhalwe ngesimo somnsalo azungeze iNkosazana. Kufanele ngiwafunde ngokuzwakalayo: "Iqiniso." "Futhi?" ngibuza, ngibheka iNkosazana. Ivuma ngekhanda. Kubhalwe phakathi. Ngabe sengifunda ngakwesobunxele: "Ubulungiswa," kanti ngakwesokudla: "Uthando lomakhelwane."
Isiphambano siphinde sibekwa ngqo enkabeni yomhlaba, kodwa abantu bayasigwema. Embonweni ka-Ida Peerdeman, lo mzuzu unezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ngokomoya. Ukwenqatshwa kwesiphambano kufanekisela ukuhamba kwesintu endleleni kaKristu—ezimfundisweni Zakhe kanye nasemizamweni yomuntu ngamunye esiyenzayo ekulweni nesono. Kulesi
sithombe, u-Ida ubhekana nokukhathala okukhulu. Lokhu kuyinto engokomoya, eveza ukuthi indlela eya ebungcweleni inzima futhi ifuna kangakanani. Abantu abafuni ukulandela uKristu ngoba akuyona indlela elula futhi emnandi.
Umzamo ongokomfanekiso ugcizelela ukuthi ukuthwala isiphambano sakho, ngaleyo ndlela uphile ngokuvumelana neVangeli, kudinga umzamo, ukuphikelela, kanye namandla angaphakathi. Umzabalazo wansuku zonke wokulwa nesono obangela ukuba umphefumulo womuntu ukhule futhi ube namandla okholweni.
Kuphela lapho umuntu ethatha lo mzamo futhi enganqikazi ukubhekana nobuthakathaka bakhe lapho ukuthula kweqiniso kungenzeka khona—ezinhliziyweni zakhe nasezweni. UKristu Nguye oqondisa abantu kulo mzabalazo: Nguye onika amandla, abonise indlela, futhi asikhumbuze ukuthi ngaphandle kwesiphambano akukho uvuko.
Emfanekisweni woMlayezo, sibona iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi futhi iphethe uJesu osemncane ezingalweni zayo. Lo mfanekiso uvumelana kakhulu nomyalezo wazo zonke imilayezo. Njengoba idwala laqhekeka, futhi iSiphambano—esimelwe njengoKristu uqobo—saphuma emhlabathini waso wangaphambili saphahlazeka phansi, “umhlabathi” omusha lapho ephumule khona uba yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, egona uJesu ngezingalo zayo. Lo
mfanekiso ubhekisela ngqo emfanekisweni woMuthi Wokuphila kanye neSithelo sawo, uMariya noJesu. Uma sibheka uMfanekiso weNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, odwetshwe ngokombono ka-Ida Peerdeman, sibona ukuthi iSiphambano sifakwe ngaphakathi kwaKhe—sifakwe kuYe, njengokungathi sinjalo, ngenxa yalokho sihlala siqondile futhi singantengantengi.
Komunye weMilayezo elandelayo, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke iboniswa njengenkungu, okuthi, uma ihlakazeka, yembule iSiphambano esingene kuYe, njengokungathi sihlatshwe yiso. Qaphela ukuthi iSiphambano kulesi sithombe sifana nenkemba. Uma sibhekisela esiprofethweni sikaSimeyoni (Luka 2:35), singayiqonda incazelo yaso ejulile: umhlabathi lapho isiphambano "simi khona" yiNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, owayekade enguMariya. Isiprofetho sikaSimeyoni sithi umphefumulo wakhe uzogwazwa ngenkemba; izinguqulo ezahlukene ngezinye izikhathi zibhekisela enhliziyweni, ngezinye izikhathi emphefumulweni, kodwa incazelo ihlala ifana.
Ngakho-ke lesi sithombe sigcwalisa isiprofetho sikaSimeyoni no-Isaya: isiphambano siba "inkemba," kanti uMariya uba umhlabathi uNkulunkulu awubeka kuwo.
Luka 2:33-35
2:33 Uyise nonina bamangala ngalokho okwashiwo ngaye.
2:34 USimeyoni wababusisa, wathi kuMariya unina : “Bheka, lo mntwana umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi kwa-Israyeli, nesibonakaliso esizophikiswa.
2:35 Inkemba iyakugwaza umphefumulo wakho , ukuze kwambulwe imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi.”
Masiqaphele ukuthi amaProthestani awamqapheli uMariya ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso. Kulo mongo, izinhloso zezinhliziyo zawo zembulwa lapho uNkulunkulu ebeka isiphambano kuye njengesisekelo esiqinisekile nesithembekile. Singaqiniseka ukuthi labo abazama ukuhlasela uMariya empeleni bafisa ukugumbuqela uKristu.
Kungenxa yakhe ukuthi isiphambano siphinde saba senkabeni yomhlaba; kungenxa yezambulo zakhe, eziye zazwakala emhlabeni wonke, ukuthi abantu benza uhambo oluya esiphambanweni. Ubuhle bukaMariya nokukhanya kokukhanya kwakhe kuholela abantu kuKristu. Ufana namandla adonsela phansi, ngenxa yalokho izidalwa zasezulwini zingazungeza ilanga. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke iholela abantu kuKristu, ophilisa isintu esonweni.
Ndawonye, bakha isikhungo sesimiso esingokomoya lapho impilo yomuntu kufanele izungezwe khona—njengoba nje, ngenxa yamandla adonsela phansi, umhlaba uzungeza ilanga futhi ngenxa yelanga, linokuphila. Emfanekisweni woMlayezo, nokho, sibona ukuthi abantu bame bezungeze isiphambano, esitshalwe kabusha emhlabeni, kodwa abaqondisi amehlo abo kuso.
Ukuqhathaniswa kukaKristu nelanga kungokomfanekiso nje kuphela. Ilanga elingokoqobo alinakubukwa, ngoba lokhu kungalimaza umbono womuntu. Nokho, uKristu akayena ukukhanya okubonakalayo, kodwa ungomoya—ukukhanya okungalimazi kodwa okuphulukisayo. Lokhu kukhanya kungamazwi nezimfundiso zaKhe.
Umuthi Wokuphila, onezithelo zawo, uphinde ume enkabeni yomhlaba—njengoba wawunjalo ekuqaleni, ngaphambi kokuba u-Adamu no-Eva bangalaleli umyalo kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi njengoba nje u-Adamu no-Eva abadala babengabafundi, namuhla, sebevuselelwe, baba abafundisi, bedlulisela imfundiso kaNkulunkulu ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
Wonke umuntu namuhla “angawunambitha” lo Mthelo: alalele izimfundiso zaKhe, azisebenzise, futhi azilingise ekuphileni kwakhe kwansuku zonke. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi njengoba nje ngaphandle kwelanga bekungeke kube khona ukuphila emhlabeni wethu, kanjalo ngaphandle koMuthi Wokuphila nokunambitha Isithelo saKhe, bekungeke kube khona ukuphila okuphakade.
Yonke imfundiso kaKristu ihlanganisa ubulungiswa, iqiniso, nothando lomakhelwane—izindinganiso ezibonakala ophawini lomnsalo, uphawu lwesivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu. INkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe iphinda iveze lesi sibonakaliso ku-Ida Peerdeman, isikhumbuza ngokubaluleka kwaso okuhlala njalo. Lezi zindinganiso ezintathu zakha izinsika okufanele kusekelwe kuzo impilo yomuntu ngamunye. Zibhalwe phansi ngaphandle kwengozi: ngemva kukaZamcolo, lapho kwasala umndeni kaNowa kuphela emhlabeni, uNkulunkulu wabona kuzo ubulungiswa, iqiniso, nothando—izimpawu afisa ukuzibona kubo bonke abantu.
Umyalezo ubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi ngaphandle kweSiphambano—ngaphandle kokulwa nesono nangaphandle kokuzimisela ukuzidela—lezi zindinganiso azitholakali.
"Ngemva kokufunda lokhu, ngibona ezinyaweni zaKhe ingonyama yetshe enokukhanya okukhanyayo okuzungezile ikhanda layo. Ngemuva kwesihlalo ngibona imibhoshongo namasonto kuvela, futhi ngibona ababhishobhi. "Akuyona eyeSonto lethu," ngithi. Ngaphakathi ngiyaqonda: "Leli yiSonto laseNgilandi." Njengoba ngisibheka, isiphambano esisesimweni senhlamvu u-X sidlula kuso. Futhi ngibona iNkosazana imomotheka. Ngokungazelelwe iNtsana esemathangeni aYo ikhula ibe nkulu. Manje ima iqonde futhi ibambe iNkomishi ngesandla sayo.
Ngemuva kwalokho, ngaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, kuvela isitebhisi, futhi kimi kubonakala sengathi ngiyasikhuphuka. Njengoba sengifinyelele phezulu, ngokuzumayo ngibona phambi kwami uphawu olukhulu: u-X ogcwele uhlamvu u-P. INkosazana ithi:
"Inkolo izongena empini enzima, futhi kuzokwenziwa imizamo yokuyinyathela phansi. Lokhu kuzoba yimfihlo kangangokuthi cishe akekho ozoqaphela. Kodwa ngiyakuxwayisa!" Ubheka
ngokungathi sína kakhulu futhi ukhomba iChalice. Ngimuzwa ethi,
"Christus Regnum!"
Bese ngibona iJerusalema lilele phambi kwami. Ngiyaqonda lokhu ngaphakathi. Impi iyaqhubeka lapho. Bese, ngokuzumayo, ngibona abefundisi base-Armenia. Bese ngiphakamisa iminwe emibili. Ngibona iNkosazana futhi, ihlezi esihlalweni sayo, konke lokhu kuyizungezile. Manje ngibona isonto lase-Anglican, isonto laseRussia, isonto lase-Armenia, namanye amasonto amaningi. Bahlala bejikeleza, begwemana. INkosazana ibheka ngokukhathazeka, futhi ngimuzwa ethi,
"Roma, qaphela!" Isho
la mazwi ngokugcizelela futhi yenza isibhakela.
Bese iNkosazana iyanyamalala ngokuzumayo.
Isithombe esingenhla somyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke sibonisa indawo ecebile ngezimpawu nobunzima. Sibonisa iNsimu yase-Edene, phakathi kwayo okwakukhula khona uMuthi Wokuphila. Sibhekisela ekubhujisweni kwezindonga zaseJeriko kanye nesitebhisi sikaJakobe, futhi sikhumbuza nezithombe zeVangeli zedili lomshado kanye nombuso ohlukene.
Ake siqale sikhumbule indawo evela eNcwadini kaGenesise, echaza i-Edene ngokushesha ngemva kokuba u-Adamu no-Eva bephule umyalo kaNkulunkulu. Lo myalo wasebenza njengesixwayiso, okwakuhloswe ngaso ukuvimbela umuntu ukuba adle isithelo somuthi wokufa. Kodwa-ke, akukhona nje kuphela ngesenzo sokudla isithelo ngokwaso, kodwa futhi nangemfundiso yokuthi—njengesithelo esinobuthi—ingaholela umphefumulo womuntu ekufeni.
Lapho u-Adamu no-Eva, naphezu kwesixwayiso sikaNkulunkulu, befinyelela isithelo sokufa futhi begcwala isono, uNkulunkulu umisa amakherubi ukuze aqaphe ukufinyelela eMthini Wokuphila, ukuze kungabikho muntu ongazihlanzi ebubini ongathola ukuphila okuphakade. Akunzima ukucabanga ngemiphumela yesimo lapho ububi buzohlanganyela khona ekuphileni okuphakade.
Emfanekisweni womyalezo, sibona iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ihlezi entweni efana nesihlalo sobukhosi, iphethe uMntwana uJesu ezandleni zayo. Ezinyaweni zayo kulele ingonyama ene-halo ekhanyayo, kanti ngemuva kwazo sibona amasonto ezinhlangano ezahlukene zobuKristu.
Uma siqhathanisa lesi sithombe nombono weBhayibheli wePharadesi, umuntu angabona ukufaniswa okujulile kwezimpawu. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke noMntwana uJesu uvela njengoMuthi Wokuphila neSithelo Sawo. Ingonyama ene-halo ifanekisela ikherubi eliqapha ukufinyelela kuYe, kuyilapho amasonto ezinhlangano ezahlukene, abekwe ngemuva, emele eminye imithi yepharadesi uNkulunkulu avumele isintu ukuba sidle kuyo—ukuze sifunde.
Elinye lamasonto abonakala ngemuva kweNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke yiSonto Lase-Anglican, eliwela uphawu lwe-"X." Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kuleli qophelo, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke iyamomotheka—futhi njengoba sizobona, ukumomotheka okugcwele ukudideka kanye nokuhlazeka okucashile, kodwa okwengeziwe ngalokho kamuva.
Ukuze uqonde ukubaluleka kwe-"X," umuntu kumele aqale abheke ileli u-Ida Peerdeman akhuphukayo, phezulu kwalo kukhona i-monogram kaKristu, "XP." Lesi yisifinyezo segama lesiGreki elithi ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos), elisho uKristu. Okwamanje, iSonto Lase-Anglican lisebenzisa uphawu "X" kuphela. Uma sisusa u-"P" ku-ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ yesiGreki, sishiywa negama elithi ΧΙΣΤΟΣ—isichasiso esisho ukuthi “ukukhunyulwa izingubo” noma “ukukhuhlwa,” esithathwe esenzweni esithi χίζω (chízō), esisho ukuthi “ukukhuhla, ukukhuhla.”
Emongweni woMlayezo, u-"X" ongenalo u-"P" uba yinkomba engokomfanekiso emqondweni wokuthi “ngaphandle kokumboza.”
Manje ake sibheke umfanekiso kaKristu wedili lomshado:
Mathewu 22:8-14
22:8 Wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe: “Idili selilungile, kodwa abamenyiweyo babengafanele.
22:9 Phumani niye ezimpambanweni zemigwaqo, nibize bonke enibatholayo edilini.”
22:10 Izinceku zaphuma zaya ezitaladini, zangenisa bonke enibatholayo, ababi nabahle. Indlu yayigcwele izimenywa.
22:11 Inkosi yangena ukuyobona izimenywa, yabona umuntu lapho engagqokile izingubo zomshado.
22:12 Yathi kuye: “Mngane, ungene kanjani lapha ungagqokile izingubo zomshado?” Kodwa wathula.
22:13 Inkosi yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Mbopheni izandla nezinyawo, nimphonse ebumnyameni ngaphandle; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.”
22:14 Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bambalwa abakhethiweyo .
ISonto eNgilandi, ngaphambi kokuhlukana kwalo neSonto LamaKatolika, lasungulwa nguKristu. Kodwa-ke, ukwahlukana kwalo okwalandela kwaholela ekubeni libe yiSonto LamaProthestani, elingaqapheli indima kaMariya ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso futhi izimfundiso zalo zingaphansi kakhulu komoya waleli zwe kunesimiso sikaNkulunkulu.
Emfundisweni yamaProthestani, umfanekiso kaMama kaNkulunkulu uvame ukushiywa noma ubekwe eceleni. Kodwa-ke, njengoba sekushiwo kakade, uMariya unguMuthi Wokuphila—lowo onika umhlaba isithelo sensindiso, uJesu Kristu—ukumenqaba kusho ukuzihlukanisa nomthombo wokuphila.
UJesu Kristu wazalwa nguMariya. Ngaphandle kwakhe, bekungeke kube khona uMsindisi, ngakho-ke akukho nsindiso. Lo mfanekiso wembula iqiniso elijulile: nguMariya kuphela lapho umuntu angahlangana khona noKristu ngokugcwele futhi athole insindiso. Isonto elingahlangani noMama kaNkulunkulu lizihlukanisa nokuphila okuwumthombo weNdodana yakhe.
Manje ake sibuyele eSontweni laseNgilandi, elivezwa njengelihlubule izingubo zalo. UNkulunkulu wembathisa u-Adamu no-Eva lapho befunda ukuqaphela ububi. Lapho bezwa isono emizimbeni yabo, amehlo abo avuleka. Nokho, imfundiso yesono iyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, futhi izenzakalo zikaGenesise zakha isimiso esivamile nje. Kulo moya, uNkulunkulu “wembathisa” izingubo labo abaqaphela isono futhi baphilele okuhle, kuyilapho labo abangazange bangene kule mfundiso behlala behamba ze.
Kulo mongo, iSonto Lase-Anglican, ngokuhlukana neSonto LamaKatolika, “lahlutshulwa” izingubo elalizithola kuNkulunkulu. Ukuhlukana kwalo kwakuwumphumela wesono, wokufulathela uNkulunkulu; kuze kube yilapho libuyela ezweni lalo, nakuba ekuqaleni labizwa uKristu, alinakubhekwa njengokhethiwe.
EVangelini likaKristu, sifunda ngomfundi othile owamlandela. Kodwa-ke, ngesikhathi sokuqulwa kwecala, lapho uKristu eholwa ekufeni, lo mfundi wabaleka ehamba ze lapho, emzamweni wokumbamba, izingubo zakhe zamhlutshulwa. Lesi senzakalo sinobuntu obuvamile futhi singafundwa njengesiprofetho esagcwaliseka endabeni yeSonto Lase-Anglican. Ngenxa yokuthi ngabafundi bakaKristu abasiza ekusunguleni amasonto ezinhlangano ezahlukene, singacabanga ngamasonto athile ngokuwabheka.
Uma sibuyela ekumomothekeni kweNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, manje siyabona ukuthi kwakuwukudideka lapho sibona "onqunu"—isithombe esingokomfanekiso seSonto lihlutshulwe izingubo zalo.
Marko 14:50-52
14:50 Base bemshiya bonke, babaleka.
14:51 Insizwa ethile yamlandela, yembethe ithawula emzimbeni wayo onqunu; bafuna ukumbamba,
14:52 kodwa yashiya ithawula, yababalekela inqunu .
Engxenyeni elandelayo yoMlayezo, sithuthwa siye eJerusalema—umuzi ongcwele, kodwa futhi odabukile yizingxabano. IJerusalema liyisibonelo sezenzakalo ezenzeka eBandleni likaKristu emhlabeni wonke. Lembula ukuthi izingxabano nokungezwani kuyaqhubeka phakathi kwamaSonto obuKristu amahlelo ahlukene. Nakuba wonke ememezela ukholo kuMsindisi oyedwa, ukuhlukana kuyaqhubeka, kufihla ukukhanya kweqiniso kweVangeli.
Ebhekene nalokhu kuhlukana, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhomba iRoma—inhliziyo yeSonto LamaKatolika—njengesikhungo okufanele siqaphe ubunye beBandla likaKristu. Kungumsebenzi waseRoma, ngokuvumelana negunya elingokomoya, ukuqeda noma yikuphi ukuhlukana futhi kubuyisele ubunye.
UKristu akezanga ukuhlukanisa, kodwa ukuhlanganisa eqinisweni, othandweni, nasekulungeni. Isithombe seJerusalema elihlukaniswe ngamaSonto obuKristu siyisixwayiso futhi siwubizo: lokhu kuhlukana kuphikisana nomoya weVangeli. Ukulwa, ukunganaki, noma ukuncintisana phakathi kwamahlelo akunandaba nezimfundiso zikaKristu.
UMlayezo ubonisa ngokucacile isidingo sokwenza okuthile: iVatican ibizelwe ukudlala indima ebalulekile enkambisweni yokubuyisana nokubuyiselwa kobunye obungokomoya. Kuphela ebunyeni bamaSonto, obusekelwe ekukholweni okufanayo kuJesu Kristu, lapho kuzokwazi khona ukwembula ukukhanya kwaKhe ngokugcwele emhlabeni.
Umyalezo uhlanganisa umusho othi: "Christus Regnum," okusho ukuthi "uKristu uMbuso." Wonke amaSonto amahlelo ahlukene akha uMbuso owodwa, iPharadesi elilodwa, lapho abantu bengalingisa khona izimfundiso zabo. Kodwa-ke, lapho amaSonto ephikisana, afundisa imfundiso ephikisana nemfundiso kaKristu ngokuthula kweqiniso. Isithombe samaSonto aphikisanayo eMbusweni owodwa sibhekisela emfanekisweni kaKristu wokuthi uMbuso ohlukene ngokwawo awukwazi ukusinda.
UMarku 3:24-25
3:24 Uma umbuso wahlukene phakathi, lowo mbuso awukwazi ukuma .
3:25 Futhi uma indlu yahlukene phakathi, leyo ndlu ayikwazi ukuma.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhomba iRoma, imcela ukuba aqaphe konke lokhu, ngoba ukuntuleka kokuthula kusho isono, kanye "nesibhakela" - uphawu lweziqalekiso ezihambisana neNtaba i-Ebali.
Khumbula ukuthi kule ntaba kwakumi i-altare elalimiselwe uNkulunkulu, lapho kwakunikelwa khona iminikelo yokuthula, eyaziwa ngokuthi iminikelo yokuthula. Kulo mongo, ukungabikho komnikelo wokuthula kusho ukwephulwa kweSivumelwano noNkulunkulu futhi kuhambisana nemiphumela yesijeziso echazwe eNcwadini yoMthetho kaMose.
Esithombeni esifanayo, lapho kuvela INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, u-Ida Peerdeman uphakamisa iminwe emibili, efanekisela isibusiso. Kodwa-ke, lapho kungekho ukuthula, INkosazana iqinisa isibhakela sayo, efanekisela isiqalekiso. Lokhu kubhekisela ngokucacile eSivumelwaneni sikaNkulunkulu, esakhiwa phansi kweNtaba iGerizimu, efanekisela izibusiso, kanye neNtaba i-Ebali, efanekisela iziqalekiso.
Nalapha futhi, INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, njengomlamuleli kaNkulunkulu, isikhumbuza ngeSivumelwano, abaningi esizukulwaneni sethu abangathanda ukusikhohlwa. Kodwa-ke, lesi Sivumelwano sisasebenza ngoba siyiZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Manje ake sibheke umuzi waseJeriko weTestamente Elidala, obhekisela ngokomfanekiso ePharadesi. IJeriko lalitholakala eZweni Lesithembiso futhi laliwumuzi oqinile onezindonga eziphakeme zokuzivikela ezazingenakunqotshwa amabutho abantu kuphela.
Kodwa-ke, uNkulunkulu, ngoJoshuwa, wabonisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi bangawunqoba kanjani lo muzi. Encwadini kaJoshuwa, sifunda ukuthi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwakufanele bahambe bazungeze iJeriko nomphongolo wesivumelwano kanye ngosuku izinsuku eziyisithupha, futhi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kwakufanele bahambe bazungeze umuzi kasikhombisa. Abapristi kwakufanele bashaye amacilongo futhi abantu bamemeze ukukhala kwempi. Lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli sebeqedile konke uNkulunkulu ayebayale ngakho, izindonga zomuzi zawa, bangena kuwo (Joshuwa 6:1-20).
Umyalezo obaluleke kakhulu kithi umyalezo ovela kulesi senzakalo: yilabo kuphela abalalela uNkulunkulu futhi balalele imiyalo Yakhe abangangena ePharadesi futhi bathole ukuphila okuphakade. Kufanele wengeze lapha ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamemezela esintwini ukuthi izindonga zaseJeriko zazidiliziwe ngokungenakuguqulwa nokuthi akekho owayengazakha kabusha—ngaphandle kwalokho, babezoqalekiswa.
Manje ake siqhathanise lesi senzakalo seBhayibheli nesithombe soMlayezo. Ezinyaweni zeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, sibona ingonyama elele phansi ene-halo ekhanyayo. Encwadini kaGenesise, lolu "donga olungenakungenwa" kwakuyikherubi eliqaphe indlela eya eMthini Wokuphila. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi izindonga zaseJeriko eziwile ziyikherubi elilele phansi.
Kodwa-ke, ukuze umuntu angene emzini futhi abuthe Isithelo Sokuphila, kumelwe awele "imfucumfucu"—okungukuthi, ikherubi elilele phansi. Ngale njongo, kusetshenziswa isikhwelo, bese u-Ida Peerdeman esikhwela. Phezulu, sibona uKristu ephethe indebe equkethe Isithelo Sokuphila esikhula eMthini Wokuphila. Isikhwelo sifanekisela umzamo ongokomoya umuntu okumelwe awenze ukuze akhuphukele kuNkulunkulu futhi ngaleyo ndlela athole ukuphila okuphakade.
Genesise 28:10-14
28:10 UJakobe, esephumile eBeri Sheba eya eHarana,
28:11 wafika endaweni ethile, wahlala khona ubusuku bonke, ilanga selishonile. Wathatha itshe kuleyo ndawo, walibeka phansi kwekhanda lakhe, walala khona.
28:12 Ephusheni lakhe wabona isikhwelo simi emhlabeni, sifinyelela ezulwini, nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka zehla.
28:13 Bheka, uJehova wayemi esiqongweni salo, wathi: “NginguJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka ; izwe olele kulo ngiyakulinika wena nenzalo yakho.
28:14 Inzalo yakho iyakuba ngangothuli lomhlabathi , wena usabalale ngasentshonalanga nasempumalanga, enyakatho naseningizimu ; zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyakubusiswa ngawe nangenzalo yakho.
28:15 Nginawe, ngiyakukuqapha nomaphi lapho uya khona, emva kwalokho ngiyakukubuyisela kuleli zwe. Ngokuba angiyikukushiya ngize ngikwenze lokho engikuthembisile.”
Isithombe sesitebhisi esikhona embonweni sibonisa indlela yomuntu engokomoya—indlela yokukhuphukela kuNkulunkulu. Lesi sifanekiso sibonisa ngokusobala ukuthi insindiso ayibonakali futhi ayizenzakalelayo. Idinga ukukhetha okuqondile, umsebenzi ongokomoya oqhubekayo, nokuphendulela inhliziyo yomuntu kuNkulunkulu, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukulalela amazwi Akhe nokuwagcwalisa ngokwethembeka empilweni yansuku zonke.
Kulesi sithombe, u-Ida Peerdeman uvela njengeNgelosi kaNkulunkulu okukhulunywe ngayo endimeni eshiwo ngenhla evela eNcwadini kaGenesise. UNkulunkulu umemezela ukubuyela kwakhe eZweni Lesithembiso, kodwa okokuqala, inzalo yakhe izoba ningi njengothuli lomhlaba. Lokhu akubhekiseli enzalweni yakhe engokwenyama, kodwa enzalweni engokomoya, azoyithola ngezambulo zeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke. Lokhu kubonisa umsebenzi okhethekile ophathiswe u-Ida Peerdeman: ukuthi ngaye, imiyalezo yeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ingasakazeka emhlabeni wonke, iholele abantu abaningi ekukholweni, ekuguqukeni nasekuphileni okuphakade.
