Tunawa da tsarkakakken mashahurin Alexander, bishop na Komansky

A cikin garin Koman, kusa da Neokesaria, wanda bishop a lokacin da aka kwatanta shi ne St. Gregory the Wonderworker, wani mutum mai suna Alexander ya rayu cikin talauci; rayuwarsa mai kyau ta ɓoye daga idanun mutane kuma Allah ne kawai ya sani.

Da yake ya rena duniya, ya yi banza da iliminsa kuma ya nuna cewa shi marar ilimi ne, ya cika kalmomin manzo: "Idan kowane a cikinku yana aza kansa mai-hikima ne cikin wannan zamani, bari shi zama wawa, domin shi zama mai-hikima". - 1 Korantiyawa 3:18.

Da yake so ya ciyar da aikin hannuwansa, mai albarka Alexander cikin tawali'u ya zaɓi irin aikin ƙarshe: ya fara yin kwalliya da sayar da su, yana neman abincin rana. Saboda wannan, tsattsarkan Alexander ya zama abin dariya da wasa ga yara: daga aikinsa fuskarsa da tufafinsa sun cika da ƙurar kwal, kuma lokacin da ya bayyana a kasuwa a wannan yanayin, ya zama kamar Habasha; a cikin birnin duka an san tsattsarkan Alexander a matsayin mai kwal.

Amma Ubangiji, wanda ke zaune a kan manya, yana kula da masu tawali'u kuma yana ɗaukaka su, ya yi farin ciki har ma a wannan rayuwar duniya don ya ɗaukaka bawansa mai tawali'u Alexander kuma ya ba shi ginshiƙi da ado a cikin cocinsa; don haka ya ba shi darajar bishop.

Lokacin da aka fara zaɓar miji mai cancanta don ɗaukar kursiyin firistoci a babban cocin, an fara rashin jituwa: wasu sun zaɓi mutane masu daraja, wasu <unk> masu arziki, na uku <unk> masu magana, na huɗu <unk> masu daraja da bayyanar da shekaru, kuma duk waɗannan zaɓaɓɓu an kawo su ga St. Gregory Mai Al'ajabi, a matsayin mutanen da suka cancanci yabo da bishop.

St. Gregory the Wonderworker bai yi sauri ba, duk da haka, tare da zaɓen da kuma keɓewa na bishop, yana jiran lokacin da Ubangiji kansa ya bayyana wanda ya cancanci. Ya yi magana da majalisa kuma ya tunatar da shi yadda Allah ya zaɓi Dauda ya zama sarki na Isra'ila: lokacin da Yesse ya kawo ɗansa Eliab zuwa Sama'ila mai tsarki, annabin ya tambayi Ubangiji, shin wannan ba shi ne wanda aka keɓe shi ba?

Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama'ila: "Kada ka dubi kamanninsa, ko tsayinsa". (1 Sarakuna 16: 6-7) Kuma ya kamata mu, in ji St. Gregory, mu zaɓi makiyayi don wannan birni, ba ta hanyar bayyanar ba, amma ya kamata mu nemi abin da Allah ya shirya: domin mutum yana kallon fuska, amma Allah yana kallon zuciya, kuma abin da ya cancanci ba shine bayyanar waje ba, amma zuciyar zuciya, wanda Ubangiji ne kaɗai ya sani.

Waɗannan kalmomin St. Gregory ba su da daɗi ga wasu, kuma suna murmushi suna magana da juna: idan ba a kalli bayyanar da asalin kirki ba, za a iya zaɓar Alexander mai kwal kuma a sanya shi bishop.

Sai ya fara tambaya, "Wane ne wannan Iskandari da kuke tunawa? Ina so in gan shi. "Saint Alexander yana tsaye a wannan lokacin a gaban ginin inda majami'ar take, kuma yana riƙe da alfadarai na waɗanda suka zo don zaɓe. Wasu sun fita suka kawo Saint Alexander zuwa majami'ar.

A lokacin da ake dariya, ya tsaya da girmamawa a gaban mai tsarkaka, ya zurfafa cikin kansa kuma bai kula da masu dariya ba.

Saint Alexander, ko da yake yana so ya ɓoye kansa, amma ba zai iya yin ƙarya a gaban babban firist ba kuma yana jin tsoron rantsuwa, ya ba da labarin rayuwarsa: yadda shi, mutum mai ilimi, ya ƙasƙantar da kansa ga Allah kuma ya sa kansa cikin talauci na son rai.

Bayan haka, firist ɗin ya umarci abokansa su kai shi wurinsa, kuma a can za su wanke shi, su yi masa ado da kyau, kuma su kawo shi cikin majami'a.

Sa'an nan kuma St. Gregory ya fara magana da shi, yana ba shi tambayoyi daga Littafi Mai-Tsarki. St. Alexander ya amsa da hankali sosai, wanda masu halarta ba za su iya gane shi a matsayin mutum mai ilimi da basira ba, kuma har ma da mamaki: me ya sa mutumin da yake da ilimi ya ɓoye hikimarsa, yana zaune a cikinsu kamar mafi ƙarancin jahilci? a lokaci guda kuma sun tsawata wa kansu cewa irin wannan mutum mai hikima, wanda ya ƙasƙantar da kansa don Allah, ya yi dariya, yana la'akari da shi wawa.

Sa'an nan kuma duk waɗanda suke cikin majalisa sun yi farin ciki da murya ɗaya kuma sun zaɓi Alexander mai tsarki a matsayin bishop, don cika kalmomin Ubangiji, wanda ya ce: "Mutum yana kallon fuska, amma Ubangiji yana ganin zuciya". (1 Sar. 16:7).

Sa'ad da Saint Gregory ya yi magana, Ruhu Mai Tsarki yana gudana daga bakinsa kamar kogi, yana sa zukatan su yi farin ciki; kuma dukan birnin ya yi farin ciki kuma ya yabi Allah, yana da makiyayi mai koyarwa.

A wannan lokacin, wani matashi masanin falsafa daga Attica ya kasance a Komana; yana sauraron koyarwar mai tsarkakewa ga mutane, ya yi dariya game da sauƙin maganarsa, ba tare da kayan ado na magana ba; amma Saint Alexander a cikin koyarwarsa bai damu da kyan kalma ba, amma game da koyarwarsa, kuma saboda sauƙin masu sauraro kalmarsa ta bambanta da sauki, yayin da yake da rai sosai.

Amma a wani lokaci, wani masanin falsafa na Attica ya ga wahayin da ya nuna masa ƙawancen farin kurciya mai haske, kamar yadda mai zabura ya ce: "Fukafukansa azurfa ne, fukafukansa kuma zinariya ne mai kyau" (Zabura 67:14), kuma a lokaci guda akwai murya: <unk> Waɗannan kalmomin bishop Alexander ne, wanda ka yi dariya.

Ba da daɗewa ba a zamanin Diocletian [Sarkin sarakuna 284<unk>305] tsanantawa ya tashi a kan Kiristoci, kuma tsarkaka Alexander, bishop na Coman, ya kama shi da arna marasa ibada; tilasta shi ya bauta wa gumaka, bai yi musun Kristi ba, saboda haka, bayan azabtarwa, an jefa shi cikin wuta, inda bishop mai tsarki ya mutu domin Almasihu Allahnmu.
