UCanzibe 2026 – Bruno Loyiso
Ngaba uqaphele indlela iWorcester eziva ngayo ngokwahlukileyo emva kwesaqhwithi? Iindlela zizele ludaka, imithi ilele iphukile kwiindawo ezininzi, amakhaya onakele okanye akhukuliswe ngamanzi, uphahla luvuthelwe kude, kwaye abantu badiniwe. Kodwa phakathi kwako konke oku, kukho into entle engalindelekanga ethe yavela: abantu bayancedana.
Abamelwane bajongene nabamelwane. Abahlobo babelana ngokutya, amanzi, iijenereyitha, iishawa ezishushu, iingubo, iisaha zamatsheyini, izithuthi, ulwazi kunye nemithandazo. Abanye bavula iindlela ngelixa abanye bevula amakhaya abo. Abanye balungisa umonakalo ngelixa abanye bemamela nje baze bathuthuzele. Ngamaxesha afana nala siyakhunjuzwa ukuba abantu abazange badalelwe ukuba baphile okanye balwe bodwa.
IBhayibhile ichaza uluntu njengoludityaniswe ngokunzulu. “Umzimba womntu unamalungu amaninzi, kodwa la malungu maninzi enza umzimba omnye” (1 Kor. 12:12, NLT). IZibhalo zibonisa umfanekiso woxanduva olwabelwanayo, apho umntu ngamnye enegalelo elinceda uluntu luphela.
Le yinto ethethwa yimveliso yoluntu.
Namhlanje, imveliso idla ngokuncitshiswa ibe yimpumelelo yomntu ngamnye, ukusebenza kakuhle, inzuzo, okanye impumelelo yabucala. Kodwa umbono weBhayibhile ubanzi kakhulu kunoko. KwiGenesis, abantu banikwa ubizo lokulima nokunyamekela indalo kunye (Gen. 1:28). Imveliso kwiZibhalo ayithethi nje ukuvelisa ubutyebi. Ithetha ukukhulisa ubomi, ukukhonza abanye, nokunceda uluntu luphumelele.
IChristian Magna Carta iyiveza kakuhle le nto. Ithi umntu ngamnye unelungelo kunye noxanduva lokuphila ngokupheleleyo amandla awanikwe nguThixo phakathi koluntu, nokunceda ukwakha uluntu olunobulungisa, isidima, ubuchule kunye nokukhathalela abanye (Youth With A Mission n.d.). Ukuphumelela kwabantu kwakungazange kujoliswe kubuntu obuzimeleyo. UThixo wasidala ukuba sakhe, sikhonze, kwaye sibuyisele kunye.
Umprofeti uYeremiya uchaza lo mbono xa ekhuthaza abantu bakaThixo ukuba “basebenzele uxolo nempumelelo yesixeko” (Yer. 29:7, NLT). Uluntu olunemveliso luluntu apho abantu benza iimeko zokuba abanye baphile kakuhle.
Oku kubonakala ngakumbi ngamaxesha engxaki.
Ngelixa bendicoca umonakalo wesaqhwithi ekhaya lethu kutshanje, ndizifumene ndikhuthazekile ngendlela engaqhelekanga. Kulo lonke elaseWorcester, amawaka abantu ayesenza umsebenzi ofanayo ngelo xesha, ecoca amasebe, enceda amalungu osapho, ejonga abantu abadala, esabelana ngezixhobo, kwaye elungisa umonakalo. Njengoko bendidiniwa ngumsebenzi wokucoca, ndafumana amandla amatsha ngokwazi ukuba sithwele lo mthwalo kunye kulo lonke eli thafa.
Le yinxalenye yobuhle bemveliso yoluntu. Umsebenzi owabelwanayo udala isidima. Imithwalo eyabelwanayo idala ubunye nokuziva umntu engowabanye.
Icawa yokuqala yayiyiqonda kakuhle le nto. IZenzo 2 ichaza amakholwa esabelana ngezixhobo, esidla kunye, ethandaza kunye, kwaye exhasa nabani na osweleyo (IZenzo 2:42–47). Ukholo lwabo lwabonakala ngokukhathalela abantu ngendlela ebonakalayo nangoxanduva omnye komnye.
UTim Keller uthi ukholo lobuKristu lukhokelela ngokwendalo ekukhonzeni abanye, kuba uthando lufuna ukuphumelela kwabanye (Keller 2012). Ngamaxesha engxaki oku kubonakala ngokulula ngakumbi. Umbuzo kukuba, ingaba siya kuqhubeka siphila ngolu hlobo xa amanzi esikhukula sele ehle?
Kuthekani ukuba imveliso yoluntu iba yinxalenye yenkcubeko yemihla ngemihla yaseWorcester, hayi nje impendulo yethu ngexesha lengxaki?
“Thwalani imithwalo yomnye nomnye, nize ngaloo ndlela niwuthobele umthetho kaKristu” (Gal. 6:2, NLT).
Ngamana iWorcester ingaqhubeka ikhula ibe yindawo apho abantu bengasindi nje kufuphi omnye komnye, kodwa baphile ngokwenene kunye.
