Izwi likaNkulunkulu
Isifundo sokuqala · 1 Korinte 5:1-8
Bazalwane: Kukhulunywa kabanzi ukuthi kukhona ukuziphatha okubi phakathi kwenu, ukuziphatha okubi okungatholakali ngisho nakubantu abangakholwayo—umuntu ohlala nomka-yise. Futhi nani niziqhenya! Kabe bekungafanele yini ukuba nibe lusizi? Lowo owenze lesi senzo kumele axoshwe phakathi kwenu. Mina, nakuba ngingekho emzimbeni kodwa ngikhona emoyeni, sengikhiphe isahlulelo kulowo owenze lesi senzo, egameni leNkosi yethu uJesu: lapho nibuthene ndawonye nami ngikhona emoyeni ngamandla eNkosi yethu uJesu, kumele nimnikele lowo muntu kuSathane ukuze achitheke umzimba wakhe, ukuze umoya wakhe usindiswe ngosuku lweNkosi. Ukuziqhenya kwenu akufanele. Anazi yini ukuthi imvubelo encane ivubela inhlama yonke? Susa imvubelo endala, ukuze nibe yinhlama entsha, njengalokhu ningenamvubelo. Ngoba iWundlu lethu lePhasika, uKristu, selinikelwe. Ngakho-ke, masigubhe umkhosi, hhayi ngemvubelo endala, imvubelo yobubi nokonakala, kodwa ngesinkwa esingenamvubelo sobuqotho neqiniso.
IHubo lokuphendula · IHubo 5:5-6, 7, 12
R. Ungiqondise ekulungeni kwakho, Nkosi. Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, awujabuli ngobubi; akukho muntu omubi ohlala nawe; abaziqhenyayo abanakuma phambi kwamehlo akho. Uzonda bonke abenza okubi. R. Ungiqondise ekulungeni kwakho, Nkosi. Ubhubhisa bonke abakhuluma amanga; iNkosi iyabenyanya abachitha igazi nabanenkohliso. R. Ungiqondise ekulungeni kwakho, Nkosi. Kepha bonke abaphephela kuwe mabajabule, bakhale ngokuthokoza phakade. Ubavikele, ukuze ube yinjabulo yalabo abalithandayo igama lakho. R. Ungiqondise ekulungeni kwakho, Nkosi.
IVangeli · Luka 6:6-11
Ngesinye isabatha uJesu wangena esinagogeni wafundisa, kwakukhona khona indoda eyayinesandla sokunene esomile. Ababhali nabaFarisi babebuka uJesu eduze ukuze babone ukuthi uyalapha yini ngesabatha, ukuze bathole isizathu sokumsola. Kodwa wazi izinhloso zabo wathi kuleyo ndoda eyayinesandla esomile: "Suka ume phambi kwethu." Yase isuka yema lapho. UJesu wathi kubo: "Ngiyabuza kini, kuvunyelwe yini ukwenza okuhle ngesabatha, noma ukwenza okubi, ukusindisa ukuphila noma ukubhubhisa?" Ebuka nxazonke kubo bonke, wathi kuye: "Yelula isandla sakho." Wenza njalo, isandla sakhe saphiliswa. Kodwa bathukuthela kakhulu, bakhuluma ndawonye ukuthi bangenzani kuJesu.
Ungiqondise ekulungeni kwakho, Nkosi.
Intshumayelo

Ake sicabange ngomzuzu othule kakhulu. Cabanga ngesithombe esisodwa esilula: uBenjamin Vo, esemncane, ehlezi ekamelweni lakhe elithulile, ephethe ikhampasi noma ibalazwe elikhulu lezindiza. Amehlo akhe ayegxile, hhayi nje ekubhekeni izithombe, kodwa ekubhekeni indlela izindiza ezisebenza ngayo. Wayeyithanda kakhulu leyo mizuzu lapho ayexoxa khona nomkhulu wakhe u-Alan ngezindiza, ikakhulukazi leyo Boeing 737 ayeyiphupha njenge-'con chim airlines'. Lowo mamatheko wakhe omnene, lowo gigo owayehamba nokukhanya kwamehlo akhe lapho ekhuluma ngalezo zindiza, kwakuwukubonakaliswa komphefumulo owayephila ngokujula okungaphezu kweminyaka yakhe. Wayeyindoda encane eyayinomqondo ocijile, kodwa inhliziyo eyayithambile kakhulu, inhliziyo eyayikwazi ukuzidela ngaphandle kokungabaza.

Sifunda namuhla ku-1 kwabaseKorinte: 'Susa imvubelo endala, ukuze nibe yinhlama entsha, njengalokhu ningenamvubelo.' U-Saint Paul usikhumbuza ukuthi impilo yethu kumele ibe yisinkwa esingenamvubelo—esingenabubi, esingenamancane, esingenamathunzi amnyama. U-Benjamin wayeyisibonelo salo mthetho wothando. Wayengalindeli ukubuyiselwa; wayenikeza ngoba wayethanda. Wayeyindiza encane eya phezulu, ekhombisa ukuthi impilo ayilinganiswa neminyaka esiyiphilile, kodwa ngothando esilushiyile emhlabeni. Wayengumfana owawunikeza konke ayenakho—njengalapho etshela abazali bakhe ukuthi ufuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange ukuze asize umalume wakhe u-William owayegula. Akazange aliphule lelo bhange, kodwa inhliziyo yakhe yayivele ikwenzile ukuzidela. Lolo thando olumsulwa, lowo musa ongazenzisiyo, yiwona 'mqondo kaKristu' ohlakaniphile ngempela.

Kodwa, bafowethu nodadewethu, kumele sibhekane neqiniso. Sekuphele izinyanga ezimbili kusukela u-Benjamin abuyela ekhaya kuNkulunkulu. Izinyanga ezimbili zokubheka isihlalo esingenalutho etafuleni. Izinyanga ezimbili zokuzwa ukuthula endlini lapho kwakufanele kube khona umsindo wokugigela kuka-Ben ngenkathi exoxa ngezindaba zikaBaba wakhe. Alan no-Thao, ngiyazi ukuthi izinhliziyo zenu zizizwa zomile, njengomhlabathi odinga imvula. Niyazibuza ukuthi ingabe kukhona okungaphezulu enanikwenza. Niyazibuza ukuthi kungani lo mfana omuhle, owayephila ngothando, kumele ahambe. Ngicela nilalele kahle namuhla: Ukugula akulona iphutha lenu. UNkulunkulu akakaze akubeke icala. U-Benjamin akakubeki icala. Nenze konke okusemandleni enu ngothando olumsulwa. UJesu eVangelini lanamuhla uthi: 'Ngiyabuza kini, kuvunyelwe yini ukwenza okuhle ngesabatha, noma ukwenza okubi?' UJesu ukhulula, akabophi. UJesu ukhulula isandla somuntu owayesigogekile. UJesu ukhulula imiphefumulo yethu emithwalweni esiyizwile isikhathi eside.

Susa lowo mthwalo wokuzisola enhliziyweni yakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu akakubheki ngokwahlulela, ubheka uthando olugcwele enhliziyweni yakho. Ryan, mfowabo omncane, u-Ben uyamthanda. U-Ben uyambona njengoba ukhula. Ungalokothi uzizwe ungedwa, ngoba uthando lwenu luyisibopho esingasoze saphuka. U-Ben uyaziqhenya ngawe. Qhubeka uphila ngesibindi, ube yindoda efana naye—enomusa, enesibindi, nenhliziyo evulekile. Khumbula ukuthi nina nobabili nifana nezindiza ezimbili ezindiza ngokubambisana; umoya kaNkulunkulu ubanikeza amandla.

Kubo bonke abazali abathwele iziphambano ezifanayo, nabantwana abagulayo emhlabeni jikelele: UNkulunkulu uyanibona. Akabheki nje izinyembezi, kodwa ubheka ukholo lenu. U-Benjamin Đại Dương Vo—igama lakhe elisho 'Ulwandle Olukhulu'—useyisiphephelo sothando lukaNkulunkulu. U-Ben use-Banquet of Heaven, eceleni kuka-Saint Carlo Acutis, esikhulekela sonke. Njengoba u-Ben ayethanda ukusiza abanye, uthando lwakhe lusaqhubeka lugeza umhlaba ngaleyo 'Giếng Gioan Baotixita'—umthombo wamanzi ahlanzekile owakhiwe egameni lakhe, olethela ukuphila kwabanye abantu. Lona ngumsebenzi wothando ongacimi.

Njengoba niphuma lapha namuhla, ngicela nenze into eyodwa encane. Lapho ubona izindiza zindiza, noma lapho ubona inyoni, yima kancane. Zitshele ukuthi: 'Nkosi, ngiyabonga ngempilo ka-Benjamin.' Khumbula ukuthi impilo yakhe yayiyisipho, futhi uthando lwakhe lusaqhubeka lugeza umhlaba njengolwandle olukhulu. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Uthando lwakho luyisibani esingasoze sacima. Amen.
