Xa umfazi ongumSamariya wafumanisa ukuba ujongene nomprofeti, wafuna ukwazi ngemicimbi yokomoya: unqulo, wazishiya iimfuno zakhe zangasemva.

Umfazi ongumSamariya

Ithi intokazi kuye, Nkosi, ndiyabona ukuba ungumprofeti wena. (UYohane 4:19)

Intshayelelo

Umvangeli uJohn wabhala ukuba yonke into ayibhalayo yenzelwe ukukhokelela abafundi bakhe ukuba bakholelwe ukuba uYesu wayenguKristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo, nasekukholelweni, ukuba nobomi obuninzi

“Ezi, nangona kunjalo, zabhalelwa ukuze nikholwe ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo, nokuze, nithi, nikholwa, nibe nobomi egameni lakhe” (Yohane 20:31).

Ngokukodwa, kukho izinto kwibali lomfazi waseSamariya ezibonisa ukuba uKrestu nguNyana kaThixo ophilayo, uNyana kaDavide wathembisa kwiZibhalo.

Umvangeli uYohane wabhala ukuba xa uYesu wafumanisa ukuba abaFarisi bevile ukuba wenza imimangaliso emininzi kwaye wabhaptiza kakhulu kunoYohane uMbhaptizi, walishiya elakwaYuda, waya kwelaseGalili (Yohane 4: 2-3). ngeSamariya (Luka 17:11).

UYesu waya kwisixeko saseSamariya ekuthiwa yiSikare, esasinomhlaba uYakobi awunika unyana wakhe uYosefu (Yohane 4: 5). Indawo uYesu awaya kuyo eSikare yayimbiwe kakuhle nguYakobi.

Umvangeli ubalaselisa ubuntu bukaYesu ngokuchaza ukudinwa, indlala nokunxanwa. Xa kukhankanywa ukuba abafundi bakhe baye kuthenga ukutya, kusenza siqonde ukuba uYesu kufuneka atye, wahlala phantsi kuba wayediniwe kwaye, xa wayecela amanzi kumfazi waseSamariya, oko kwakuthetha ukuba wayenxaniwe.

Nangona indlela umvangeli awayejolise kuyo yayingekokubonisa ukuba iNkosi uYesu yayinxanelwe amanzi, nanjengoko okuye kwacaca sisidingo sakhe sokuvakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zobukumkani kubafazi, kuyacaca ukuba uYesu weza esenyameni (1Jo 4 : 2-3 kunye no-2 Yohane 1: 7).

UYesu wayehleli ngasemthonjeni kaYakobi, malunga nelixa lesithandathu (emini emaqanda) (Yohane 4: 6, 8), xa umfazi ongumSamariya efika emthonjeni eze kukha amanzi (ukubiza umntu ngegama lomzi kwakulihlazo, kuba umntu onjalo ebengenguye owoluntu lwakwaSirayeli), kwaye kweza kuye iNkosi eyathetha naye isithi:

– Ndiphe ndisele (Yohane 4: 7).

Isimo seNkosi ngakumSamariya (ecela amanzi) sivelisa ezona zinto zibalaseleyo zamadoda nabafazi: ukuqonda, ukuqiqa (Yobhi 32: 8).

Umfazi kufuneka ukuba ubuze umbuzo ngokusekwe kuluhlu lolwazi lwangaphambili. Akakhange ayile eyona ngcinga ibalaseleyo yobuntu, kodwa iphakamise umbuzo obalulekileyo kulo mfazi nakubantu bakhe:

– UngumJuda nje, undicela njani ukuba ndisele kum, ukuba ndingumSamariyakazi? (UYohane 4: 9).

AmaSamariya ayecalucalulwa ngamaJuda, kodwa uYesu, nangona wayengum Yuda, akazange awunike ukubaluleka kwalo mbandela, kodwa lo mfazi wayifeza injongo yakhe kakuhle ngelo xesha.

Kumbuzo, umfazi ubalaselisa ukuba wayengumfazi kwaye kwangaxeshanye ungumSamariya, oko kukuthi, ukuba bekukho isithintelo esiphindwe kabini kuloo ndoda, ekucacayo, ukuba ingangumJuda onomona ngenkolo yakhe.

Imibuzo emininzi yavela entlokweni yomSamariya, njengoko uYesu wayezityeshela iindlela nemithetho enxulumene nobuJuda xa ecela amanzi. – Akazange aqonde ukuba ndingumfazi nomSamariya? Ngaba uza kusela amanzi endiza kumnika wona ngaphandle koloyiko lokungcola?

 

Isipho sikaThixo

Emva kokuvusa ukuqiqa komSamariya, uYesu uqhubeka nokuvuselela umdla walo mfazi:

– Ukuba uyasazi isipho sikaThixo, kwaye ngubani na lowo uthi kuwe, Ndiphe ndisele: ubungacela kuye, aze akunike amanzi aphilileyo.

Umfazi ongumSamariya akazange afikelele kwangoko kumagama kaKristu, kuba wayengenamava enyanisweni

“Kodwa ukutya okuqinileyo kokwabo bagqibelele, abathi, ngenxa yesiko, basebenzise iingqondo zabo ukwahlula okulungileyo nokubi” (Heb 5: 14).

Ukuba umSamariya wayenengqondo eyenziweyo, ngekhe abuze umbuzo:

– Nkosi, awunanto yakuphatha, nequla linzulu; uwazuza phi na ke amanzi aphilileyo?

Ukusuka kwimpikiswano, uyabona ukuba umfazi waseSamariya ugxile ekungenakwenzeka kokufikelela emanzini ngaphandle kweendlela eziyimfuneko, nangona kunjalo, akazange aphikisane noko kwathethwa nguYesu ngokuba namanzi aphilayo.

Engayicingi ingxoxo yokuqala ka Yesu malunga nesipho sikaThixo, wahlalutya:

– Wena umkhulu yini na kunobawo wethu uYakobi, owasinikayo iqula eli, wayesela kulo yena, nabantwana bakhe, nemfuyo yakhe?

Ukunikezela ngenye indlela ngaphandle kwamanzi equleni likaYakobi kwenza ukuba umSamariya abone ukuba laa mJuda ungaziwayo, ubuncinci, wayezikhukhumeza, njengoko wazibeka kwindawo ephezulu kunoYakobi, owashiya iqula njengelifa kubantwana bakhe kwaye, ngelo xesha elibonelela ngemfuno yamaSamariya amaninzi.

Le mibuzo ilandelayo ifuna iimpendulo:

– Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ukhe amanzi, kwaye nequla linzulu; Unawaphi amanzi aphilileyo?

Kodwa uYesu wayesebenzela ukuba “ukuva” kwalo mfazi kuvuswe ngelizwi likaThixo, kuba isindululo sakhe sasisenza sazi ukuba, enyanisweni, ungaphezulu koyise uYakobi uqobo.

Kwakungeli xesha ke ukuswela ulwazi komSamariya, kuba ukuba ebemazi ukuba ungubani uYesu, ngexeshanye wayeya kusazi isipho sikaThixo, kuba uKrestu sisipho sikaThixo.

Ukuba ebesazi ukuba ngubani obuza:

-Ndiphe ndisele, ndiyakwazi ukuba wayemkhulu kunobawo uYakobi, ndingazi ukuba uKrestu wayeyinzala ethenjisiweyo ku-Abraham eziza kusikelelwa ngaye zonke iintsapho zomhlaba (Gen. 28:14).

Ukuba ebemazi ukuba ungubani uKrestu, ebeya kubona ukuba ngamanzi anikelwa nguKrestu, enyanisweni nangomthetho uya kuba ngomnye wabantwana baka-Abraham. Ukuba ebemazi uKristu, ebeya kubona ukuba abantwana ngokwasenyameni abangabo abo baka-Abraham, kodwa ngabokholo, inzala ka-Adam wokugqibela (uKristu) owayezibonakalisa emhlabeni (Gal 3:26) -29; KwabaseRoma 9: 8).

Ukuba wayemazi uKristu, wayeya kubona ukuba nangona wayeyinxalenye yokugqibela angaba yinxalenye yokuqala, kuba ngeNzala yakhe kunokwenzeka ukuba zonke izizwe zisikelelwe njengoAbraham okholwayo (Mt 19:30).

Ukuba ebemazi Lowo ucele isiselo kwaye emnika amanzi aphilayo, uyakubona ukuba usisipho sikaThixo, kuba nguKrestu onika ubomi kwihlabathi (Yohane 1: 4). Wayeza kubona ukuba ungumbingeleli omkhulu ngokohlobo lukaMelkitsedeke, athi ngaye abantu bonke, nokuba bangasiphi isizwe okanye ulwimi, banikele ngezipho kwaye bamkelwe nguThixo.

– “Wenyukela phezulu, uthimbe abathinjwa, wamkela izipho ebantwini, nangenxa yabavukeli, ukuze iNkosi uThixo ihlale phakathi kwabo” (Nd 68:18).

U-Thixo wangqina ngomnikelo (izipho) u-Abheli awunikelayo ngenxa yakhe owayeza kunyukela phezulu, ethimbe ekuthinjweni, umbingeleli omkhulu owenziwe nguThixo ngaphandle kwesiqalo (nangonaphakade) wokuphela kosuku (Heb 7: 3), wazinikela kuye njengemvana engenasiphako kuThixo, kwaye kungaye kuphela abantu abamkelekileyo kuThixo (Heb 7:25).

 

 

Iimfuno zemihla ngemihla

Umbuzo womfazi:

– Ngaba umkhulu yini na kunobawo wethu uYakobi? I – ibalulekile, nangona kunjalo, ibingamvumeli ukuba achaze ukuba ngubani indoda ecela amanzi kumthombo kaJacob kwaye, kwangaxeshanye, inikezela ngamanzi aphilayo

– Nabani na osela la manzi uya kunxanwa kwakhona; Ke yena othe wasela kuwo amanzi, endiya kumpha wona mna, akasayi kuza anxanwe naphakade; ngokuba amanzi endiya kumpha wona, aya kuba ngumthombo wamanzi kuye ogqobhozela ebomini obungunaphakade. (Yohane 4:14).

Kuyamangalisa ukuba umfazi waseSamariya, owayenengcamango ebanzi xa eqonda ukuba uYesu wayethetha ukuba wayemkhulu kunoTata uYakobi, wasamkela isicelo sakhe, sokuba wayenamanzi ayenokumthintela ukuba anganxanwa, kodwa akubuze ngamanzi. kakuhle likaYakobi.

Isicelo sikaYesu sasicacile:

– ‘Nabani na osela amanzi endimnika wona akasayi kunxanwa kwakhona’, kwaye wayefuna ntoni amanzi, ukuba wayenamanzi aphezulu?

Eli bhinqa lalinomdla kwisithembiso sikaYesu, kodwa ukuqonda kwalo kwakuphazamisekile.

Yintoni eyabangela ukuba eli bhinqa lifune amanzi awayelinikwe nguYesu, nangona iNkosi yayinxaniwe?

Impendulo ifumaneka kwisicelo somSamariya:

– Nkosi, ndiphe la manzi, ukuze ndingabi sanxanwa, ndingezi nokuza kukha apha.

Kule mihla kuphantse kungacingeki ukuba ngumsebenzi lowo mfazi kwafuneka afumane amanzi. Kwakuyiyure yesithandathu xa lo mfazi esiya kukha amanzi ukuze afumane iimfuno zakhe ezisisiseko.

Ngelixa kumhla wethu into eninzi eqondwa sisiseko, kubalulekile, yahlukile kuleyo yayifunwa nguloo mfazi, kunokwenzeka ukulinganisa ukuba kungakanani oko umntu akuqondayo njengodaka olubalulekileyo lokuqiqa. Ukuba yintoni ebalulekileyo ebeka esichengeni ukuqonda oko kucetywayo kwigospile, uthini ngemicimbi yobu bomi?

Indoda engumSamariyakazi yayingazi ukuba icele amanzi, kwaye ngoku yanikezela ngamanzi aneepropathi ezingenakucingwa: yayiza kuphelisa ukunxanwa kwayo ukuze kungabikho mfuneko yokuba iphinde isele amanzi.

Xa lo mfazi wabonakalisa umdla ‘kumanzi aphilayo’, uYesu wathi:

– Yiya ubize umyeni wakho, uze apha. Umfazi waphendula wathi:

– Andinandoda. Waphendula uYesu wathi:

– Uthethile kakuhle: Andinandoda; Kuba ubunamadoda amahlanu; onayo ngoku asindoda yakho, unyanisile ukutsho. Utsho oku nenyaniso.

Qaphela ukuba uYesu akazange akhuphe isigwebo sexabiso kwimeko yomfazi, kuba yena ngokwakhe wathi akagwebi mntu ngokwasenyameni, kuba akazelanga kuligweba ihlabathi, kodwa ukusindisa (Yohane 8:15). UYohane 12:47).

Ngeli xesha lo mfazi wamqonda uYesu njengomprofeti:

– Nkosi, ndiyabona ukuba ungumprofeti wena! Kuyathakazelisa ukuba umfazi waseSamariya waqonda ukuba umJuda njengomprofeti ngaxeshanye kwaye, kwangaxeshanye, ngokumangalisayo, wabuza lo mbuzo ulandelayo:

– Oobawo bethu babenqula kule ntaba; nina ke nithi iseYerusalem indawo apho abantu banqulela khona.

Xa umfazi waseSamariya wafumanisa ukuba uKristu ungumprofeti, wazishiya iimfuno zakhe ezisisiseko, waqalisa ukubuza ngendawo yokunqula.

NjengomSamariya, wayelazi kakuhle ibali elakhokelela ekubeni amaJuda anganxibelelani namaSamariya. Incwadi ka-Ezra iqulethe enye yeembambano ezazikho phakathi kwamaJuda namaSamariya kuba amaJuda angawavumeli amaSamariya ukuba ancedise ekwakheni itempile yesibini phantsi komyalelo kaKoreshi (Ed 4: 1-24), kwaye uqhushululu lwaqala ngenxa yokuba I-Asiriya yamisa kwizixeko zaseSamariya abantu bevela eBhabheli beza kuhlala kuloo mmandla, bethatha indawo yabantu bakwa-Israyeli ababethathiwe ngaphambili nabamkela inkolo yamaJuda (2Ku 17:24 comp. Ed 4: 2 no-9- 10).

Umbuzo malunga nendawo ye- (yonqulo) i-era millenary kwaye, phambi komprofeti, iingxabano zakhe zemihla ngemihla azisabalulekanga, kuba ithuba lalilodwa: fumana indawo yokunqula kunye nendlela yokunqula.

Ngaba inomdla ukwazi ukuba iyakuba yintoni impendulo, kumhla wethu, ukuba umKristu ufumanisa ukuba wayephambi komprofeti? Iya kuba yintoni imibuzo kumntu ozibonakalisa njengomprofeti?

Ndiyacinga ukuba xa amaKristu anamhlanje efumana umprofeti, imibuzo iyakuba yile: – Ndiza kuyithenga nini indlu yam? Ndiya kuba nayo nini imoto yam? Nditshata nini? Ndizotshata nabani? Ngaba umntwana wam uya kuba yindoda okanye ibhinqa? Ndiza kuwahlawula nini amatyala am. Ndiza kuba sisityebi? Njl.

Kodwa xa umSamariya wafumanisa ukuba wayephambi komprofeti, wafuna ukwazi ngemicimbi yokomoya, eshiya iimfuno zakhe zasemhlabeni ngasemva. Kwakungabalulekanga ukuba azi ukuba uyakuba nendoda na, okanye uza kuyeka ukuya equleni likaYakobi ukuya kukha amanzi. Ngoku, umbuzo wendawo yonqulo wawusele uqhubeka kwizizukulwana ngezolo kwaye elo yayilithuba elingenakuphoswa.

Ngengxelo:

– Ndiyabona ukuba ungumprofeti wena. Singathathela ingqalelo ukuba umfazi wayeqonda ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kanye kanye.

Ngokungafaniyo namanye amaJuda awayegxininise kwinkolo yabo, emthethweni nasekwenzeni amasiko, abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli babengengomaYuda abotshelelwe kwezo ntambo.

Kwakufana nokuthi: – Hayi, ngoku ndiyayiqonda! Ufana noEliya noElisha, abaprofeti abangazange babongoze abanye abantu, kuba bobabini baya kwezinye izizwe bade bangena nakwikhaya leenkedama, labahlolokazi, njl. Kuphela njengomprofeti ukunxibelelana nomfazi ongumSamariya, kuba uEliya waya kwikhaya lomhlolokazi owayehlala eSarepta, kwilizwe laseSidon wamcela amanzi okusela:

– “Ndizisele intwana, ndisele intwana yamanzi ndisele” (1Ku 17: 10).

U-Elisha, wasebenzisa oko wanikwa kuye ngumfazi osisityebi owayehlala kwisixeko saseSunem, owayekwabizwa ngegama lesixeko njengoko kwakunjalo kumfazi waseSamariya (2 Kumkani 4: 8).

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuhlalutya imbali kaNikodemo xa kuthelekiswa naleyo yomfazi waseSamariya, kuba phambi koThixo indoda enazo zonke iimpawu zokuziphatha kunye neengqondo njengoko kwakunjalo ngoNikodemo ulingana nomntu ongenanto, njengoko kwakunjalo kumSamariya umfazi.

 

Unqulo

Kulapho uYesu waphendula wathi:

– Ndikholelwe, mfazi, ukuba kuza ilixa, eningasayi kuthi nakule ntaba, naseYerusalem, nimnqule uBawo.

UYesu wafundisa umfazi waseSamariya ukuba ixesha lalifikile, kuba unqulo lwalungasabotshelelwanga kwintaba, nokuba yintaba yaseJerusalem okanye eyeSamariya.

UYesu wacela umfazi ongumSamariya ukuba akholelwe kuye kwaye alandele imfundiso yakhe

– “Mfazi, ndikholelwe…” (v. 21). Emva koko uphendula umbuzo oqhelekileyo kumaYuda nakumaSamariya:

– “Uthanda into ongayaziyo; siyakuthanda esikwaziyo kuba usindiso luvela kumaJuda”.

 Nangona amaSamariya ayeqonda ukuba ayamnqula uThixo, kodwa ayemnqula engamazi. Imeko yamaSamariya yileyo yaboniswa ngumpostile uPawulos kumaKristu ase-Efese:

“Khumbulani ngoko, ukuba nifudula niziintlanga ngokwenyama, nabizwa ukungaluki ngabo abasenyameni, ababizwa ngokuba ngabolwaluko olwenziwe ngezandla zabantu. Ukuba ngelo xesha wawungenaye uKrestu, wahluliwe kuluntu lwakwaSirayeli, kwaye ungowasemzini kwiminqophiso yesithembiso, ungenathemba, kwaye ungenaye uThixo ehlabathini” (Eph 2: 11 -12).

Ukuba nentumekelelo yokunqula uThixo akumniki umntu iwonga lokuba ngumnquli wenene, kuba namaJuda ayenqula, kwaye enqula oko akwaziyo, kuba usindiso luvela kumaJuda (Yohane 4:22), nangona kunjalo, olo nqulo lwalungengomoya. Nangenyaniso (v. 23). Abaprofeti bakhalazela le nto:

“Ngokuba itsho iNkosi, Aba Bantu basondela kum ngomlomo wabo, nangemilebe yabo, ukuba bandizukise, kodwa iintliziyo zabo zindifulathela, kwaye ukundoyika kwabo kunemithetho yabantu bodwa; awayekufundisiwe” (Is 29: 13).

Isiteyitimenti sikaYesu silingana namaJuda namaSamariya, njengoko bobabini bekholelwa ukuba banqula uThixo, nangona kunjalo, unqulo lwabo lwaluyinto ephuma emlonyeni kuphela, kodwa kude nezintso.

“Ubatyala wena, babuya bamila; bayakhula, nabo bethwala isiqhamo; usemlonyeni wakho, kodwa ukude kwizintso zakho” (Jer 12: 2).

UYesu uveza eyona nyani yonqulo xa esithi:

– “Kodwa kuza ilixa, nangoku selikho, xa abanquli abayinyaniso baya kumnqula uBawo ngoMoya nangenyaniso; ngokuba uBawo ufuna abo bamnqulayo” (v. 23).

Unqulo lukaThixo lunokwenzeka kuphela ngomoya nangenyaniso, ngokungafaniyo nokunqula ngemilebe, ebhekisa ‘ekusondela’ kuThixo kuphela ngemilebe, inenkangeleko, nangona kunjalo, intliziyo ihlala ikude noThixo.

Ufuna ntoni uBawo? Abanquli bokwenyani, oko kukuthi, abo banqula ngoMoya nangenyaniso. NgokweZibhalo, amehlo kaThixo afuna amalungisa, abathembekileyo ebusweni bomhlaba, kuba kuphela abo bahamba ngendlela ethembekileyo abanokumkhonza “Amehlo am akwabanyanisekileyo ezweni, ukuba bahlale nam; Ohamba ngomendo othe tye uya kundikhonza” (Indumiso 101: 6), eyahlukileyo nemeko yabantu bakwaSirayeli:

“Kambe ke bayandingxoka imini ngemini, bakunanzile ukuzazi iindlela zam. Njengesizwe esenza ubulungisa, singalishiyi ilungelo loThixo waso. babuza kum amalungelo obulungisa, kwaye bayakuvuyela ukufikelela kuThixo ” (Isa 58: 2).

Oko kukuthi, uThixo usondele kwabo baMbizayo, nangona kunjalo, kwabo babiza Yena ngenyaniso “Usondele uYehova kubo bonke abo bambizayo, kubo bonke abo bambiza ngenyaniso” (Nd 145: 18). Kuphela kungokucela uThixo ‘ngenyaniso’ apho ubutshaba buye baphulwa, nobudlelane buya kumiswa buze bufike kwinqanaba lokuba umntu ahlale noThixo “Kwaye wasivusa kunye naye wasenza sahlala kwiindawo zasezulwini, kuKristu Yesu” (Efe. 2: 6).

Ungambiza njani uThixo ngenyaniso? Ukungena kumnyango wobulungisa. Kuphela ngabo bangena emnyango wobulungisa abafumana indumiso yokwenene kuThixo (Nd 118: 19). Kuphela ngabo bangena emnyango weNkosi abathembekileyo nabalungileyo (Nd 118: 20), kwaye kuphela kwezi, amehlo eNkosi.

UYesu uyenza icace into yokuba:

– “UThixo unguMoya, kwaye kubalulekile ukuba abo bamnqulayo bamnqule ngoMoya nangenyaniso”, ngoba, uThixo unguMoya, kwaye u Yesu wongeza athi amazwi awathethayo angumoya nobomi (Yohane 7:63), Ke ngoko, ukuze sinqule ngoMoya nangenyaniso kubalulekile ukuba umntu azalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya (Yohane 3: 5), ukuze azalwe ngamazwi athethwe nguKristu.

 

Ukuqiniseka komfazi ongumSamariya

Ngaphandle kwemfuneko yemihla ngemihla yokuya kukha amanzi, ebonisa imeko ethobekileyo yalomfazi, kuba wayengena khoboka, wayenethemba. Ngaphandle kokungabikho kuluntu lwase-Israeli, wayeqinisekile:

– Ndiyazi ke ukuba uMesiya uyeza, ekuthiwa nguKristu; xa athe weza yena, uya kusityela izinto zonke.

Ukuqiniseka okuvela phi? Ngoku, eso siqinisekiso sasivela kwiZibhalo. Ukuzithemba kwakhe kwakuqinile, kuba wayengalindelanga ukuba nequla labucala, okanye umyeni wakhe. IZibhalo azange zithembise ukuphuculwa kwemali okanye usapho, kodwa zabonisa ukuba uKrestu, umlamli phakathi koThixo nabantu, wayezakuza, kwaye wayeza kwazisa abantu yonke into ephathelele kubukumkani bukaThixo.

Ngokujonga ukuthembela komfazi kwiZibhalo, uYesu uzityhila: – Ndinguwe, ndithetha nawe! I- kwakutheni ukuze uYesu azityhile kulo mfazi, ukuba kwezinye iivesi zebhayibhile uyalela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangaxeleli mntu ukuba unguKrestu? (Mt 16: 20) Kuba isivumo sinyani sesona sivela kubungqina obunikwa ziZibhalo ngoKrestu (Yohane 5:32 kunye no 39), hayi kwimiqondiso engummangaliso (John 1:50; John 6:30).

Ngelo xesha abafundi bafika kwaye babedidekile ukuba uKristu wayethetha nomfazi

“Kwathi kwangoko bafika abafundi bakhe, bamangaliswa kukuba athethe nomntu oyinkazana; Akubangakho namnye wathi kuye, Uyintoni na? Okanye: Kutheni uthetha naye? ” (iv. 27).

Umfazi ongumSamariya wayishiya injongo yakhe wabaleka waya esixekweni, wabiza amadoda ukuba aphande ukuba umJuda kumthombo kaYakobi nguKristu

“Yawushiya ngoko umphanda wayo intokazi, yemka yaya ekhaya; ithi kuloo madoda, Yizani, nibone umntu ondixelele zonke izinto endizenzileyo; Asinguye na lo uKristu? ” (Iphepha lama-28 nelama-29)

Njengomfazi ngelo xesha wayengummi okwinqanaba lesibini, akazange anyanzele inkolelo yakhe, endaweni yoko wabongoza amadoda ukuba aye kuYesu kwaye ahlalutye amazwi akhe. Abantu bedolophu bemkile baya kuKrestu

“Basishiya ke isixeko, baya kuye” (v. 30).

Kwakhona amanqaku omprofeti oyinyani ayacaca:

“Baye bekhubeka kuye. Kodwa uYesu wathi kubo, “Akukho mprofeti ungenakubekwa, ngaphandle kowabo nasekhaya” (Mt 13: 57). Phakathi kwabantu basemzini uYesu wayehlonitshwa njengomprofeti, owahlukileyo kwilizwe lakhe nakwikhaya lakhe (Mt 13: 54).

Abafundi babongoza iNkosi:

– Rabí, yitya. UYesu wabaphendula:

– Ndinokutya endikutyayo ongakwaziyo.

Ingqondo yabo yayijolise kwiimfuno zoluntu. Kulapho uYesu waxelela khona ukuba ‘wayelambile’ ukwenza ukuthanda kukaYise, nokwenza umsebenzi wakhe. Nguwuphi umsebenzi lowo? Impendulo ikuYohane 6, ivesi 29:

– “Nguwo lo umsebenzi kaThixo: kholwani kulowo amthumileyo”.

Ngelixa abafundi bakhe babekwazi ukufunda amaxesha xa kwakutyalwe kwaye kuvunwa eli lizwe (Yohane 4:34), u Yesu ‘wayebona’ amasimi amhlophe ngesivuno sika Yise. Ukusukela ngalaa mzuzu xa u Kristu wayezibonakalisa kwabavuni Ukufumana umvuzo wabo emhlabeni, kwaye isivuno sobomi obungunaphakade besele siqalisile, kwaye bobabini umhlwayeli nomvuni bavuyiswa ngumsebenzi owenziweyo (v. 36).

UYesu ucaphula amazwi athi:

– “Omnye ngumhlwayeli, omnye ngumvuni” (v. 37), kwaye ulumkisa abafundi bakhe ukuba bathunywa ukuba bavune kumasimi abangasebenziyo kuwo (v. 38). Zeziphi ezi nkalo? Ngoku amasimi uYesu awabona ukuba alungele ukuvunwa ziiNtlanga. Babengazange basebenze phakathi kweeNtlanga, ngoku babethunywe ukuba basebenze phakathi kweeNtlanga, njengoko abanye babesele bekwenzile oku, oko kukuthi, abanye abaprofeti abanjengoEliya noElisha babeye kwabeeNtlanga befanekisela umsebenzi ababemelwe ukuwenza (v. 38).

Ngenxa yobungqina bomfazi, owathi:

– Undixelele zonke izinto endizenzileyo. AmaSamariya amaninzi akholelwa kuKrestu. Njani? Kuba uthe:

– Undixelele zonke izinto endizenzileyo. UYesu waya ku (amaSamariya) waza wahlala nabo iintsuku ezimbini, bakholwa kuye ngenxa yakhe. amazwi (Yohane 4:41).

Babengakholelwa kuKrestu kuphela ngobungqina bomfazi, kodwa bakholelwa kuba, bakuva uKrestu ebhengeza ubukumkani bamazulu kubo, bakholelwa ukuba ngenene unguMsindisi wehlabathi (Yohane 4:42).

 

Ukugqwetha kwe

Ngelixa injongo yeZibhalo kunye noKrestu yayikukuba abantu bakholelwe ukuba unguMsindisi wehlabathi, iMvana kaThixo esusa isono sehlabathi, njl. Kumhla wethu kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeevangeli ezingakhuthazi. Um sebenzi oyinyani kaThixo, oko kukuthi: ukuba abantu bakholelwe kuKristu njengomthunywa kaThixo.

Ithemba labo alikho kwihlabathi elizayo, apho uKrestu aya kuza athathe abo bakholwayo kunye naye (Yohane 14: 1-4), kodwa balungise izinto kunye neminqweno yeli hlabathi.

Uninzi lwabafundisi bobuxoki batsalela ingqalelo kwabangalumkanga ngokubonisa iimfuno zabo zemihla ngemihla. Ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba iimfuno zamadoda zigqumelela ukuqiqa kwaye ungazivumeli ukuba zihlalutye imibuzo efanelekileyo yokuqonda. Intetho yabafundisi bobuxoki ihlala ikhomba kwiimfuno zobomi bemihla ngemihla ukubabhida abo bangalumkanga, njengoko iintetho zabo zililize.

Kukho abo baya kujikeleza ootitshala ngokweminqweno yabo kwaye baphethukele kwiintsomi (2 Tim. 4: 4). Abanye bamthatha uKristu njengomthombo wengeniso, kwaye babakhethe abo bafuna ukuba zizityebi (1 Tim. 6: 5-9).

Kodwa kukwakho abo banembonakalo yokuhlonela uThixo, eyenye nje inkolo, kuba umyalezo wabo ujolise kwiinkedama nabahlolokazi, besilwela isizathu samahlwempu kwaye befuna izinto eziphathekayo, kodwa bayayiphika impumelelo yeendaba ezilungileyo, kuba ziyaphikisana iinyani ezibalulekileyo ezinje ngovuko lwabafileyo kunye nokubuya kukaYesu (2 Tim 2: 18 no-3: 5;)

“Kutheni, liyintoni ithemba lethu, uvuyo, nesithsaba sobuqaqawuli? Ngaba aninjalo phambi kweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu ekufikeni kwayo? ” (1Th 2:19).

Umsebenzi ofunekayo kwincwadi kaYakobi othi unokholo (inkolelo) ngumsebenzi lowo unyamezelo luphela (Yak 1: 4), oko kukuthi, kukuhlala ukholelwa kumthetho ogqibeleleyo, umthetho wenkululeko (Yak 1: 25).

Ileta kaYakobi

 

Intshayelelo

UYakobi olilungisa, mhlawumbi omnye wabantakwabo Yesu (Mt 13:55; Marko 6: 3), ngumbhali wale ncwadi.

Umzalwana uJames waguqulwa kuphela emva kokuvuka kukaKristu (Yohane 7: 3-5; IZenzo 1:14; 1 Kor 15: 7; Gal 1:19), waba yenye yeenkokheli zebandla elise Yerusalem, kwaye wonyulwa njengomnye Iintsika zebandla (Gal. 2: 9).

Ileta kaYakobi ibhalwe malunga ne-45 AD. C., phambi kwebhunga lokuqala elalise Yerusalem, oko kwenzeka malunga nama 50 d. C., eyenza ileta endala yeTestamente eNtsha. Ngokombhali-mbali uFlávio Josefo, uTiago wabulawa malunga nonyaka wama-62 d. Ç.

Izihlomelo zeleta ziziintsali ezingamaJuda aguqukele kubuKrestu (Yak 1: 1), yiyo loo nto ithoni nolwimi olungaqhelekanga kumaJuda.

Xa wayebhala le leta, uYakobi wayefuna ukuyichasa imfundiso yama Yuda yokuba nokholo kuThixo omnye, kunye nemfundiso yevangeli, yokuba nokholo kuYesu Krestu, kuba akunamsebenzi ukuthi uyakholelwa kuThixo, kodwa ukuba akawuthobeli umthetho kaThixo, kukukholwa kuKrestu.

Indlela eya kuYakobi isikhumbuza oko kwafundiswa nguYesu: “Intliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki; Uyakholelwa kuThixo, uyakholelwa nakum ” (Yohane 14: 1), ebonisa ukubaluleka kwesihloko ekujongwe ngaso ngabantu ekujoliswe kubo: AmaJuda aguqukele kubuKrestu.

Nangona kunjalo, ukungaqondi malunga nencwadi kaJakobe kwasasazeka kwiNgqobhoko, ukuba wayekhusela usindiso ngemisebenzi, ephikisana nompostile kwabeeNtlanga, ababethethelela usindiso ngokholo.

Ukungavisisani kwendlela kaJames kwenza uMartin Luther wayicekisa le leta, wayibiza ngokuba “yincwadi yomququ”. Wayengaboni ukuba imfundiso kaYakobi yahlukile kuleyo yafundiswa ngumpostile uPawulos.

 

Isishwankathelo sencwadi kaJames

Incwadi kaJakobe iqala ngesikhuthazo sokuzingisa elukholweni, kuba ekunyamezeleni umsebenzi wokholo ugqityiwe (Yak 1: 3-4). Onyamezela izilingo engapheli, usikelelekile, kuba uyakufumana isithsaba sobomi kuThixo, esiya kuthi sinikwe abo bamthobelayo (Jak 1:12).

U-Yakobi usebenzisa igama elithi ‘ukholo’ ngengqondo ‘yokukholelwa’, ‘ukukholelwa’, ‘ukuthembela’, ngokungafaniyo nompostile uPawulosi, osebenzisa eli gama ngengqondo ‘yokukholelwa’ nangengqondo ‘yenyani’, kunye le ntsingiselo yamva isetyenziswa kakhulu kunoko.

Emva koko, uYakobi uchaza intsingiselo yegospile, engukuzalwa ngokutsha ngelizwi lenyaniso (Yak 1:18). Emva kokubanga ukuba kunyanzelekile ukuba ulamkele ilizwi leendaba ezilungileyo njengomkhonzi oluthobelayo, ongamandla kaThixo osindiso (Yakobi 2: 21), uYakobi ubongoza abo anxibelelana nabo ukuba bazalisekise oko kugqityiweyo kwigospile, bangalibali imfundiso kaKristu (Yakobi 2:21).

U-Yakobi ukhumbula ukuba nabani na onomdla kwinyaniso yevangeli kwaye azingise kuyo, engabi ngumphulaphuli olityelweyo, wenza umsebenzi omiselwe nguThixo: ukukholelwa kuKrestu (Yakobi 2:25).

Ngombono womsebenzi ofunwa nguThixo, uYakobi ubonakalisa ukuba ukuba nenkolo ngaphandle kokuthintela okuphuma entliziyweni, kukuzikhohlisa, kwaye inkolo yalowo mntu ililize (Yakobi 2: 26-27).

Kwakhona uYakobi ubiza abo bangenelela ukuba ngabazalwana, emva koko ubabiza ukuba bangabonisi mbeko ebantwini, kuba bezibanga bengamakholwa kuKristu (Yak 2: 1). Ukuba umntu uthi uyakholwa kwiNkosi uYesu, kufuneka aqhubeke ngokwale nkolelo: engabahloniphi abantu ngenxa yemvelaphi, ulwimi, isizwe, uhlanga, njl. (Yak 2: 12)

Indlela kaTiago iyatshintsha kwakhona ngokusebenzisa eyona ibalulekileyo: – ‘Bazalwana bam’, ukubabuza ukuba kuyanceda na ukuba bathi banokholo, ukuba abanayo imisebenzi. Ngaba kunokwenzeka kwinkolelo ngaphandle kokugcina imisebenzi?

Igama elithi umsebenzi ngokomxholo kufuneka liqondwe ngokwembono yendoda yakudala, esisiphumo sokuthobela umthetho. Kumadoda ngelo xesha, umyalelo wenkosi kunye nokuthobela komkhonzi kwaphumela emsebenzini.

Indlela itshintsha isuka ebantwini iye elusindisweni. Ekuqaleni; Nabani na okholwayo kuKristu akanako ukuhlonipha. Okwesibini: Nabani na othi unokholo lokuba uThixo mnye, ukuba akawenzi umsebenzi ofunwayo nguThixo, akasindiswa.

Umcimbi awukho malunga nomntu othi unokholo kuKrestu, kodwa umntu othi unokholo, nangona kunjalo, ukholo kuThixo omnye. Nabani na okholwayo kuKristu uya kusindiswa, kuba lo ngumsebenzi ofunwa nguThixo. Awungekhe ugcine umntu othi unokholo kuThixo, kodwa engakholelwa kuKrestu, kuba ingenguye umenzi womsebenzi.

A  umsebenzi ofunekayo  wabo bathi banokholo (inkolelo) ngumsebenzi ophela unyamezelo (Yak 1: 4), oko kukuthi, kukuhlala ukholelwa kumthetho ogqibeleleyo, umthetho inkululeko (Yak 1:25). .

NjengamaKristu aguqukileyo phakathi kwamaJuda ayesazi ukuba umsebenzi ofunwa nguThixo kukukholelwa kuKrestu, ngokuthi akonelanga ukuthi unokholo, uYakobi wayegxininisa ukuba akunabungozi ukukholelwa kuThixo nokungakholelwa kuKristu.

Indlela ekwisahluko 3 iyatshintsha kwakhona xa kusithiwa: bazalwana bam (Yak 3: 1). Umyalelo ujolise kwabo bafuna ukuba ziinkosi, nangona kunjalo, kulo msebenzi wokulungiselela kubalulekile ukuba ‘ugqibelele’. Ukuba ‘ngogqibeleleyo’ kwimeko leyo asikuko ukukhubeka kwilizwi lenyaniso (Yak 3: 2), kwaye ke uya kuba nakho ukukhokela umzimba (abafundi).

Emva kwemizekelo yelizwi elikwaziyo ukukhuthaza, kwakhona indlela itshintshiwe, ukulungisa ukungenzeki kokuqhubeka kwemiyalezo eyahlukeneyo evela kumntu omnye, ngokuchasanisa ulwazi lukaThixo kuthelekiswa nobulumko kunye nesiko lomntu (Yak 3: 10 -12) .

Okokugqibela, umyalelo kukuba amaKristu aguqulweyo asuka phakathi kwamaJuda akufuneki athethe kakubi omnye nomnye (Yakobi 4: 11), kwaye, ngokomfuziselo (osisityebi), bhekisa kumaJuda abulala uKristu.

Ileta ivaliwe ngokuthetha ngomxholo wokuqala: unyamezelo (Yak 5:11), ukukhuthaza amakholwa ukuba abe nomonde ekubandezelekeni.

 

Ezona ngcamango ziphosakeleyo zokutolika

1. Qonda ukuba uTiago ukhathazekile yimicimbi efana nobulungisa kwezentlalo, ukwabiwa kwengeniso, izenzo zesisa, njl.
2. Ukuthatha isohlwayo esiqatha kwabo ‘bazizityebi’ baqokelela izinto njengesohlwayo kwabo babephethe ubutyebi bezinto kukusilela ukuqaphela ukuba igama elithi ‘isityebi’ lingumlinganiso osebenza kumaJuda;
3. Qonda ukuba incwadi kaJakobe ichasene nemfundiso yompostile uPawulos, onika usindiso ngokholo kuKristu Yesu. Ngapha koko, uYakobi ubonakalisa ukuba ukukholelwa kuThixo asiyonto ifunwa nguThixo kusindiso, kodwa, kukukholelwa ukuba uYesu unguKrestu, umsebenzi wokholo;
4. Qonda ukuba imisebenzi elungileyo iyafuneka ukuqinisekisa abo banokholo lokwenene. Nabani na okholwayo kuKristu ngokweZibhalo, unokholo lokwenene, kuba lo ngumsebenzi ofunwa nguThixo;
5. Yibhidanise imisebenzi elungileyo nesiqhamo ochongwe ngaso umthi.

Njengamalungu oluntu, abazali abangamaKristu kufuneka bafundise abantwana babo, kwaye akufuneki bashiye olo tyala ecaweni, okanye nakweliphi na iziko.

Abazali, abantwana kunye necawa

 

Intshayelelo

Ndingenza ntoni ukugcina umntwana wam ecaweni? Lo ngumbuzo obuzwe ngabazali abaninzi abangamaKristu.

Abo banabantwana abancinci bafuna iifomyula zokuthintela abantwana babo ukuba baphambuke ecaweni, kwaye abo banabantwana abakhulu, abazishiyileyo ecaweni, bafuna ukuba uThixo enze ummangaliso.

Kwenziwe ntoni?

 

Unyana okholwayo kufuneka azalwe ngokutsha

Okokuqala, wonke umKristu kufuneka azi ukuba ‘abantwana benyama asingobantwana bakaThixo’. Njani? Ngaba umntwana wam, uzalelwe kwindawo yevangeli kunye / okanye indawo yokuzalwa yamaProtestanti, ayingomntwana kaThixo?

Ngoku, ukuba ‘unyana womntu okholwayo wayengunyana kaThixo’, kuya kufuneka sivume ukuba yonke inzala ka-Abraham ikwangabantwana bakaThixo, nangona kunjalo, ayisiyiyo le nto ifundiswa yiBhayibhile.

Umpostile uPawulos, xa wayebhalela amaKristu aseRoma, wayenza yacaca into yokuba ukuba yinzala yenyama ka-Abraham asikuko oko kunika uzuko lukaThixo “Ingekuko ukuba ilizwi likaThixo lalisilela, kuba asingabo bonke abavela kuSirayeli abangamaSirayeli; Ayikuko nokuba bayinzala ka-Abraham, bangoonyana bonke” (Roma 9: 6 -7). “… asingabantwana benyama abangabantwana bakaThixo, ngabantwana bedinga ababalelwa ekuthini bayinzala” (Roma 9: 8). Ngoku, ukuba abantwana baka-Abraham abangoonyana bakaThixo, kukwalandela ukuba unyana wokholwayo akangomntwana kaThixo.

Ke ngoko, nabani na ofuna ukufikelela kulungelelwaniso olungcwele kufuneka abe nokholo olufanayo nolwalukholwa ku-Abraham okholwayo, oko kukuthi, ukuba unyana womKristu abe ngumntwana kaThixo, kufuneka akholelwe ngendlela efanayo naleyo wayekholelwa ngayo utata kumyalezo weendaba ezilungileyo. .

“Yazini ngoko, ukuba abo bakholwayo ngabantwana baka-Abraham” (Gal. 3: 7).

Kuphela ngabo baveliswa ngembewu engenakonakala, elilizwi likaThixo, abangabantwana bakaThixo, oko kukuthi, abantwana bamaKristu ayingobantwana bakaThixo.

 

Icawe ngumzimba kaKristu

Okwesibini, onke amaKristu kufuneka aqonde ukuba umzimba kaKristu, okwabizwa ngokuba yicawe, awunakubhidaniswa namaziko abantu, afana nosapho kunye necawa. Ukuba yinxalenye yeziko lomntu akumenzi umntu abe ngowomzimba kaKristu, oko kukuthi, usindisiwe.

 

Uxanduva lokufundisa

Njengelungu loluntu, abazali abangamaKristu kufuneka bafundise abantwana babo, kwaye akufuneki ushiye intlawulo enjalo ecaweni, okanye nakweliphi na iziko. Umsebenzi onjalo ngowabazali kuphela. Ukuba abazali abekho, lo msebenzi kufuneka ugqithiselwe komnye umntu odlala le ndima: ootatomkhulu noomakhulu, oomalume, okanye, njengecebo lokugqibela, liziko elisekwe luluntu (ikhaya leenkedama).

Kutheni le nto umsebenzi wokukhulisa abantwana unganikezelwa? Kuba ngaphakathi kwesiqhelo, abazali ngabantu abangabona bantu banentembelo ebalaseleyo kunye neyona inkulu kwiminyaka yokuqala yobomi bomntu. Ngokusekwe kobu budlelwane bokuthenjwa, iziko losapho liba elebhu apho lonke uvavanyo lwenziwa khona njengommi onoxanduva lwenziwa.

Kukwintsapho apho umntu afunda khona ukuba yintoni igunya noxanduva. Ubudlelwane phakathi kwabantu buyafundwa kwaye buphuhliswe phakathi kosapho, njengobudlelwane, ubuhlobo, ukuthembana, intlonipho, uthando, njl.

Njengabazali abanolona lwalamano lusemagqabini noluthembakeleyo, ikwangabona babalaseleyo ukuba babonise ivangeli kaKristu ebantwaneni ngexesha lenkqubo yokufunda. Ke ngoko, kuyinto enqabileyo ukuba abazali bangabonakalisi abantwana babo ngoThixo onempindezelo nonentiyo. Amabinzana afana nala: “- Sukwenza oku kuba utata akayithandi! Okanye, – ukuba uyayenza le nto, uThixo uyamohlwaya! ”, Ayibonisi nyaniso yevangeli kwaye ibangela umonakalo omkhulu ekuqondeni komntwana.

Ubudlelwane obusekwa yivangeli phakathi kukaThixo nabantu bakhokelwa kukuthenjwa nokuthembeka. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uthembe umntu onolunya nophindezelayo? Hayi! Ngoku, kwenzeka njani ukuba umfana athembele kuThixo, ukuba oko kubonisiwe kuye akuhambelani nenyaniso yevangeli?

Abazali kufuneka babonise abantwana babo ukuba ezinye zeendlela zokuziphatha azinyamezelwa kuba utata nomama bengavumi. Ukuba imeko enjalo yenqatshelwe ngokufanelekileyo ngutata nomama. Ukuziphatha okunjalo kuyingozi kwaye noluntu luphela aluyamkeli.

Musa ukuhambisa umntwana wakho enomsindo, enovalo kuThixo okulungele ukohlwaya ngayo nayiphi na imikhwa emibi. Ukuziphatha okunjalo kwabazali kubonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba bayaluphepha uxanduva lwabo njengomhlohli.

Ukufundisa abantwana ngokumisela ubudlelwane boyika, ukuba noThixo, icawe, umfundisi, umfundisi, umtyholi, isihogo, amapolisa, inkomo enobuso obumnyama, njl., Njengabaphumezi okanye ukohlwaya, kugqibela ukuvelisa amadoda hlonipha amaziko kwaye ucekise abo basebenzisa igunya. Olu hlobo lwemfundo luseka uloyiko endaweni yentlonipho, njengoko ubudlelwane bokuthenjwa bungasekelwanga. Xa uloyiko ludlula, akusekho sizathu sokuthobela.

Abazali abenza ngale ndlela xa befundisa abantwana babo banezabelo zabo ekulahlekiseni abantwana babo. Icawe ikwanaso nesabelo sayo, kuba isilele ekuchongeni abazali njengobukukuphela kwabo kwaye banembopheleleko efanelekileyo yokufundisa abantwana babo. Umbuso nawo unetyala, njengoko ethatha indima yokuba ngutitshala, kanti enyanisweni, sisixhobo sokuhambisa ulwazi.

Ukuba iziseko zemfundo azichazwanga phakathi kosapho, kwaye ezo ngcinga zisetyenzisiweyo kwaye zinamava kubudlelwane bosapho, naliphi na elinye iziko loluntu, njengecawe norhulumente, liya kugwetywa.

Uninzi lwabazali luzibhokoxa emsebenzini, kufundwa nasecaweni, nangona kunjalo, abachithi xesha kwimfundo yabantwana babo. Imfundo yabantwana yenzeka ngokusisigxina kwaye akunampilo ukulihoya eli xesha.

 

Uqala nini ukufundisa?

Inkxalabo ngabantwana ihlala ivela kuphela xa abazali abangamaKristu beziva ngathi abantwana babo bayazikhwebula kwiziko lecawa. Izibheno ezoyikekayo ekubekweni nasekunyanzelweni, kunyanzelwa abantwana ukuba baye ecaweni. Isimo esinjalo siphosakele ngakumbi kunokungamyaleli umntwana ngexesha elifanelekileyo.

Le mibuzo iyabothusa abanye abazali abangamaKristu kuba bengazi ukuba yintoni indima yabo njengelungu loluntu, kwaye iyintoni injongo yabo njengommeli weendaba ezilungileyo. Abazali abangamaKristu abanako ukudibanisa le misebenzi mibini.

Abazali abangamaKristu banemisebenzi emibini eyahlukileyo: a) ukufundisa abantwana babo ukuba babe ngamalungu oluntu, kwaye; b) Bhengeza izithembiso ezimnandi zeendaba ezilungileyo ebantwaneni ukuze bangaphambuki elukholweni.

Olu thungelwano kufuneka lwenziwe kwasebusaneni, lunyamekele ukujongana ngaxeshanye nemfundo noqeqesho lwabemi, ngaphandle kokutyeshela imfundiso yelizwi lenyaniso, kugxininiswa uthando nokuthembeka kukaThixo.

Ukusukela ebusaneni umntwana kufuneka afundiswe ukuhlonipha abasemagunyeni, kwaye ngabazali apho umntwana aya kwenziwa malunga nokuthobela igunya. Ngoonyana babantakwabo, ootatomkhulu noomakhulu kunye nootatomncinci umntwana uya kufunda ukuhlonipha nokuzimisela. Njengabahlobo, ootitshala, abamelwane kunye nabantu ongabaziyo, umntwana uya kufunda ubudlelwane nehlabathi.

Kuthekani ngeendaba ezilungileyo? Ithini iBhayibhile? KwiDuteronomi sifunda oku kulandelayo: “Kwaye uya kubafundisa abantwana bakho, uthethe ngabo uhleli endlwini yakho, uhamba endleleni, ulele phantsi uvuke” (Dut 6: 7). Malunga nendlela yobomi umntwana kufuneka afundiswe ngalo lonke ixesha, oko kukuthi, ekhaya, endleleni, ngexesha lokulala naxa evuka.

Ukufundiswa ‘kweeleta’ ezingcwele luxanduva lwabazali! Ukunikezela umsebenzi onje kutitshala wesikolo seCawa akucetyiswa zizibhalo, ngaphezulu koko, kuthintela ixesha lokufundisa ngoKristu kube kanye ngeveki, kangangeyure enye. Yahluke mpela koko kucetyiswa sisibhalo: ukufundisa imihla ngemihla.

 

Abantwana noluntu

Abazali kufuneka bancede abantwana baqonde ukuba wonke umntu kufuneka athobele abazali kunye noluntu. Ukungeniswa kwabazali namhlanje sisincoko kunye nokufundela ukungeniswa okuya kufunwa luluntu, esikolweni nasemsebenzini.

Emva kokuyalelwa, nokuba umntu omncinci ebengafuni ukulandela iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKrestu, siyakuba nommi ozinikele kwiinqobo ezithile zentlalo.

Enye yeengxaki ezifanelekileyo kwimfundo yabantwana bamaKristu namhlanje kukuxuba imfundo yosapho kunye necawa. Ukunikezela ecaweni uxanduva lokudlulisela amaxabiso entlalontle yimpazamo enkulu. Xa umntu omncinci ekhula kwaye edanile ngabantu abathile kwiziko, uphela eshiya ubulungu boluntu awayeye kulo, kwangaxeshanye avukele nakweziphi na zonke iintlobo zexabiso lentlalo.

Xa abazali besazi ukuba abavelisi abantwana benzela uThixo, basebenzisa ngakumbi imfundo kunye nokushumayela kwabantwana. Kwaye abaphelelwa lithemba xa bebona ukuba amahlumelo abo akakho kwimeko yokuya ecaweni. Abayi kuziva benetyala okanye benoxanduva kubantwana babo xa bengathethi ngemicimbi ethile yeziko.

Kuyimfuneko ukuba ufundise abantwana ngokufundisa ilizwi likaThixo, nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kokulibala ukuhambisa kunye nokubethelela amaxabiso entlalontle. Imfundo ibandakanya incoko, umdlalo, ukukhuza, isilumkiso, njl. Vumela abantwana ukuba bafumane onke amanqanaba obomi, ukusuka ebuntwaneni, kwinqanaba lokufikisa nakulutsha.

Kodwa, kufuneka wenze ntoni xa abantwana bemka ecaweni? Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukwahlula ukuba ingaba abantwana baphambukile kwivangeli okanye bazikhwebule kwiziko elithile.

Ukungahoyi imigaqo-siseko yevangeli yokuqala kukhokelela abazali ekubhideni ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumntwana kaThixo nokuba lilungu lecawa ethile. Ukuba umntwana akasekho rhoqo ecaweni, akufuneki abhalwe ukuba ulahlekile, okanye uya esihogweni, njl.

Ukuba umntu uyayinyanisa inyaniso yevangeli njengoko izibhalo zisitsho, oko kuthetha ukuba akanguye owaphambukayo, kodwa kufuneka aziswe kuphela ngesidingo sokuhlangana. Kunganyanzeleka ukuba abazali baphande ukuba kutheni abantwana babo bewushiya umkhwa wokuhlangana namanye amaKrestu.

Ngoku, ukuba unyana akayichazi inyaniso yeendaba ezilungileyo kwaye uyaqhubeka nokuhlangana ngaphandle komkhwa, imeko yakhe phambi koThixo iyamkhathaza. Wazi ntoni ngeendaba ezilungileyo? Ngaba uthi uyakholelwa kwigospile? Ukuba impendulo iyalandula, kunyanzelekile ukuba ubhengeze ubunyani beendaba ezilungileyo, ukuze akholelwe kwaye asindiswe, hayi nje umntu ohamba icawe.

Umonakalo ochazwe sisenzo seenkumbi, ubhekisa kububi obukhulu obubangelwa yimfazwe neentlanga zangaphandle hayi kwimikhosi yeedemon. Bubuxoki obungathethekiyo ukuthi uhlobo ngalunye lwentethe lumele imikhosi yeedemon, ezisebenza kubomi babantu.

Umzekeliso wenkumbi yomprofeti uYoweli

 

Intshayelelo

Kuyinto engenangqondo inani leentshumayelo, amanqaku, iincwadi kunye nemiboniso echaza umbono weenkumbi, owabhengezwa ngumprofeti uJoel, njengemikhosi yeedemon ehlasela ubukho babakholwayo abangakhangeli isishumi.

Ukukhangela okulula kwi-Intanethi kubuyisa amanqaku amaninzi kunye neencwadi [1] echaza ngokuthe ngqo ukuba iinkumbi yimikhosi yeedemon ezisebenza ngokuthe ngqo kwizinto zabantu, ezichitha izindlu, iimoto, iimpahla, ukutya, imivuzo, njl. Ukuthi ezi demon zibangele iintlekele ezimotweni, kwiinqwelomoya, kutshone iinqanawa, kudilize izakhiwo, kubulala abantu, kutshabalalisa izizwe, iintsapho, iicawa, imitshato namakhaya.

Injalo loo nto, umela ntoni umzekeliso weenkumbi owachazwa nguYoweli? Ngaba iinkumbi ziidemon?

 

Umzekeliso

“Okwasalayo kumbungu, kwadliwa ziinkumbi, kwasala inkumbi, kwadliwa ziinkumbi kwasala inkumbi, yayidla intwala.” (Yoweli 1: 4)

Phambi kokuhlalutya isicatshulwa, ndifuna ukuqinisekisa umfundi ukuba amanani omqombothi, intothoviyane, inkumbi nentwala, ezenza umzekeliso womprofeti uYoweli, ayizizo iidemon. Nayiphi na indlela, ngale ndlela, ijolise ekukhohliseni abangalumkanga ngokwenza i-layman kunye neophyte ixhoba elilula lamadoda anganyanisekanga okanye, ubuncinci, ingazi nyani yebhayibhile.

Umzekeliso owabhengezwa ngumprofeti uYoweli wawunabantu abathile: amaJuda, phambi kokusasazeka. Xa uJoel ebhengeza umyalezo kaThixo kubadala nakubemi belizwe, akazange ajonge eluntwini, ngokungathi wayethetha ngeplanethi yomhlaba, ngaphambili, lo myalezo wawujolise kwiinkokheli zamaJuda nakubemi belizwe laseKanan, oko kukuthi, amaYuda. (Yoweli 1: 2)

Ukwandisa ububanzi besiprofetho, ukuthetha nabeeNtlanga okanye nokuthetha namalungu eCawa likaKrestu, kukujija umyalezo womprofeti uYoweli, kuba abantu ekujoliswe kubo ngalo myalezo ngamaSirayeli, njengoko kunokubonwa kwisivakalisi sokugqibela. Ukusuka kwindinyana: ‘… okanye, ngemihla yooyihlo’, indlela yokubhekisa kwizizukulwana ezidlulileyo zoonyana bakaSirayeli.

Yivani oku, nina badala, nimamele, nonke bemi bomhlaba: Ngaba oku kwenzekile ngemihla yenu, nangemihla yabazali benu? (Yoweli 1: 2)

Ama-Israyeli kufuneka adlulise umyalezo womprofeti uYoweli, malunga neenkumbi, kubantwana babo nakubantwana kubantwana babo, ukuze umyalezo ufikelele nakwizizukulwana ezizayo. (Yoweli 1: 3)

Zintoni iinkumbi ezikulo mzekeliso? Impendulo ifumaneka kwivesi 6: uhlanga olunamandla noluninzi lwangaphandle!

“Kuba uhlanga olunamandla olungenakubalwa luvukele kulo mhlaba wam; Amazinyo asemadinini kwaye anemihlathi yengonyama endala.” (Yoweli 1: 6)

Umprofeti uYeremiya, naye, wayebhekisa kuhlaselo lwangaphandle, esebenzisa amanye amanani:

Ngokuba ndiya kunivelela ngeentlobo ezine zobubi, utsho uYehova; ngekrele lokubulala, izinja, ukubarhuqa, neentaka zezulu, nezilo zomhlaba, ukuba nizidle nizitshabalalise. (Yer 15: 3)

Uhlaselo lweentlanga zasemzini lwalisele luxelwe kwangaphambili ngumprofeti uMoses:

UYehova uya kukuphakamisela uhlanga oluvela kude, esiphelweni somhlaba, esiphaphazela njengokhozi, uhlanga olulwimi lungayi kuluva; Isizwe esijamelene noburhalarhume, esingayi kuhlonipha ubuso bexhego, okanye simsizele umfana; Adle isiqhamo senkomo yakho, nesiqhamo somhlaba wakho, ude utshabalale; kwaye ayiyi kukushiyela iinkozo, neoli, namathole eenkomo zakho, naweegusha zakho, ide ikugqibe.” (Dut. 28: 49-51)

Umprofeti uJoel wenza isibikezelo esifanayo, nangona kunjalo, uqamba umzekeliso ukulungiselela ukuvakaliswa kweziganeko ezizayo, ukusuka kubazali ukuya ebantwaneni. Angathini na umntu ukulibala umzekeliso oneenkumbi, eziqwenga yonke into ephambi kwabo?

Uhlaselo lwamaKaledi luthelekiswa nentshabalalo ebangelwe ziinkumbi, kuba bebeza kungena kwizixeko zakwaSirayeli, ezazifana ne-Eden, ethi yona, emva kohlaselo lweBhabheli, kushiyeke kusenkangala kuphela.

“Usuku lobumnyama nobumnyama; yimini yamafu nesithokothoko, njengentsasa enwenwela phezu kweentaba; abantu abakhulu nabanamandla, ekungazange kubekho unjalo, kususela kumaxesha amandulo, nasemva kwabo iminyaka ezayo, kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Phambi kwakhe umlilo utshisa nasemva kwakhe ilangatye elivuthayo. Umhlaba phambi kwakhe unjengomyezo we-Eden, emva kwakhe uyintlango eyinkangala; Ewe, akuyi kusinda.” (Yoweli 2: 2-3)

Umzekeliso weenkumbi wawusebenza ngenjongo yokubonisa oko kwaxelwa kwangaphambili nguMoses, kuba uhlanga olwaluza kuhlasela uSirayeli lwaluza kutya yonke into eveliswa zizilwanyana nentsimi. Akusayi kubakho ngqolowa, kufuneka, i-oyile okanye inzala yezilwanyana, ngenxa yokuhlasela kwamanye amazwe.

Umdiliya nomkhiwane ngamanani abhekisa kwizindlu ezimbini zoonyana bakaYakobi: uYuda noSirayeli, ukuze isiprofeto nomzekeliso zimele, kuphela kwaye ngokukodwa, abantwana bakwaSirayeli. Ukubeka amadoda, okanye iiNtlanga, okanye icawe, njengezinto ezenziwa ziinkumbi, yingcinga yentloko yomntu ongafundanga.

Umprofeti uIsaya noYeremiya bathelekisa iintlanga ezingaqhelekanga namarhamncwa asendle, endaweni yokusebenzisa iinkumbi:

“Wena, zonke izilwanyana zasendle, zonke izilwanyana zehlathi, yizani nidle” (Is 56: 9);

Ngenxa yoko ingonyama yasehlathini ibabulele, ingcuka ivela entlango. ihlosi lijonga izixeko zalo; ophuma kuzo uya kwaphulwa; ngenxa yokuba ukreqo lwabo luyanda, uwexuko lwabo landa. ” (Yer 5: 6)

Umonakalo ochazwe sisenzo seenkumbi, ubhekisa kububi obukhulu obubangelwa yimfazwe neentlanga zangaphandle hayi kwimikhosi yeedemon. Bubuxoki obungathethekiyo ukuthi uhlobo ngalunye lwentethe lumele imikhosi yeedemon, ezisebenza kubomi babantu.

Nabani na othi intethe yintlobo yomkhosi weedemon, osebenza kubomi babo bangamthobeliyo uThixo, ulixoki.

UThixo wawuqalekisa umhlaba ngenxa yokungathobeli kuka-Adam, ekugqibeleni, wazimisela ukuba umntu atye ukubila ebusweni bakhe (Gen. 3: 17-19). Ukuzimisela kukaThixo kuwa phezu kwamalungisa nabangalunganga! Esinye isiqalekiso esiwele eluntwini, amaYuda kunye neeNtlanga, yayikukufa, ekuthi ngalo bonke abantu bahlukaniswe nobuqaqawuli bukaThixo.

Kodwa, ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso esiveliswe kukona kuka-Adam, ithamsanqa liphoswa emathangeni kuyo yonke inzala yakhe, ngaphandle kokwahlulwa kwelungisa nokungabi nabulungisa “kuba ixesha nethuba lichaphazela wonke umntu, ngokungacacanga” (IMiz. 9:11). Wonke umntu osebenza kobu bomi unelungelo lokutya, kuba umthetho wokuhlwayela uyafana kuwo wonke umntu: ulungile kwaye awunabulungisa.

Ukutsho ukuba inkumbi yokusika isebenza kubomi babantu abangakholwayo bubuxoki. Ukuthi inxenye yento umntu ongakholwayo ayizuzayo emsebenzini wakhe, yeyedemon yinto enqabileyo, kuba umhlaba kunye nokuzala kwawo kukwiNkosi.

Usebenzisa u-Isaya 55, ivesi 2 ukuthetha ngezemali, ungqina ngokuchasene nenyaniso yesiBhalo. Xa u-Isaya ebuza abantu, malunga nokuchitha oko bakusebenzeleyo besebenza koko kungesosonka, wayengathethi ngemidiza, iziselo, ulonwabo, amayeza, njl. UThixo wayekhalimela abantu ngokuchitha oko akufumanayo kwimibingelelo, iminikelo engamkholisiyo uThixo (Isa 1: 11-12; Isa 66: 3).

Oko uThixo akholiswayo kuko, nokwanelisa ngokwenyani umntu, kukuba aliphulaphule ilizwi likaThixo, kuba, ‘ukuphendula kungcono kunombingelelo’. (1 Sam 15:22) Kodwa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli banikelwa kumadini, oko kukuthi, bachitha iziqhamo zomsebenzi kwizinto abangazukwanelisa!

“Kodwa uSamuweli wathi, ‘Ngaba uYehova unonelele amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo, ngangokuba enonelele ukuthotyelwa kwelizwi likaYehova? Ukuthobela kulunge ngaphezu kokubingelela; kwaye ukukhonza kungcono kunamanqatha egusha.” (1 Sam 15:22)

Akunangqondo ukuthetha ukuba inkumbi etshabalalisayo ibhekisa kwintlekele yendalo, iintlekele, imozulu embi, njl., Kodwa ukusebenzisa uYohane 10, ivesi 10, apho isela lize khona, ukuba lingabulali, libe kwaye litshabalalise, njengezenzo zomtyholi , akufundeki kakuhle uneenjongo ezingalunganga. Ukuthi imikhosi yeedemon, emelwe yinkumbi eyonakalisayo, ngababulali abenza oko kuthethwa nguYohane 10, ivesi 10; ayikhathali.

Isela uYesu wathi lize kubulala, ukuba, ukutshabalalisa alibhekiseli kumtyholi, kodwa kwiinkokeli zakwa-Israyeli, ezazize phambi kwakhe. Iinkokheli zakwa-Israyeli babengamasela nabaphangi, kuba babesenza izinto ngaphambi kokufika kukaYesu, ngenxa yesiprofeto ababesixele kwangaphambili.

“Ingaba le ndlu ibizwa ngegama lam, umqolomba wezihange emehlweni enu? Yabonani, mna lo ndikubonile oko, utsho uYehova. (Yer 7:11);

“Bonke abo beza phambi kwam bangamasela nabaphangi; kodwa izimvu azibaphulaphulanga.” (UYohane 10: 8);

Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise. Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. (UYohane 10:10);

Wathi kubo, Kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Indlu yam iya kubizwa ngokuba yindlu yokuthandaza; ke nina niyenze umqolomba wezihange ”. (Mt 21: 13)

Ukuqukunjelwa kwezithethi ezisebenzisa umzekeliso weenkumbi kuyamangalisa ngakumbi xa iphakamisa indlela yokoyisa iinkumbi: ukubakho!

Ngelixa iinkumbi zazimele ilizwe lamaKaledi, elahlasela iJerusalem ngo-586 BC, xa uNebhukadenetsare II – umlawuli waseBhabheli- wahlasela uBukumkani bakwaJuda, etshabalalisa isixeko saseJerusalem kunye neTempile, ethumela amaJuda eMesopotamiya. , ungazoyisa njani ezi ‘nkumbi’, ukuba ngaba amaKaledi aphelile?

Ukongeza ekuthini iinkumbi ezikumzekeliso kaJoweli ziindidi ezahlukeneyo zeedemon, izithethi ezininzi zithi ekuphela kwendlela yokuzibetha kukuthembeka kwizishumi neminikelo! Ubuxoki!

Oonyana bakaSirayeli bahlaselwa ziintlanga zasemzini, kuba abawuphumulanga umhlaba ngokwelizwi leNkosi, hayi ngenxa yokuba bengabikho, njengoko sifunda:

 Ndonichithachitha phakathi kweentlanga, ndirhole ikrele lam emva kwenu, ilizwe lenu kube senkangala, nezixeko zenu zibe ngamanxuwa. Liya kwandula ukwaneliswa ziisabatha zalo ilizwe, yonke imihla yokuba kusenkangala kulo, nibe semhlabeni weentshaba zenu; umhlaba ke uya kuphumla udlale ngeMigqibelo yawo. Uya kuphumla yonke imihla yokuphanziswa, kuba akazange aphumle ngeesabatha zakho, xa wayehlala kuyo” (Lev 26:33 -35).

Kungenxa yokungaphumli komhlaba, ukuze uThixo amise iiveki ezingama-70 zikaDaniel, njengoko kubhaliwe kwiNcwadi yeziKronike:

ukuze kuzaliseke ilizwi likaYehova ngomlomo kaYeremiya, lide ilizwe laneliswe ziisabatha zalo; yonke imihla yenkangala, yaphela yada yazaliseka iminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe.” (2 Kronike 36:21).

Isikhalazo sikaMalaki ngokuzisa zonke izishumi kwingxowa-mali inde emva kokugxothwa eBhabheli (Mal 3:10). Umprofeti uMalaki wayephila ngexesha likaEzra noNehemiya, kwisithuba emva kokuthinjwa, xa iindonga zaseYerusalem zazisele zakhiwe, malunga ne-445 BC

Ibhayibhile icacile:

“Njengokubhadula kweentaka, njengenkonjane ibhabha, isiqalekiso ngaphandle kwesizathu asisayi kuza”. (IMi 26: 2)

Ngaba isiqalekiso sehlela abantwana bakwaSirayeli sisenzo seedemon? Hayi! Iidemon ziqalekisiwe ngendalo, kodwa azingonobangela weziqalekiso eluntwini. Unobangela wesiqalekiso esiwe phezu koonyana bakaSirayeli yayikukungathobeli imithetho kaThixo, eyanikelwa nguMoses. Uhlaselo lwaseBhabheli lwenzeka kuphela ngenxa yokungathobeli kuka-Israyeli hayi ngezenzo zeedemon!

Kubantwana bakwaSirayeli, uThixo wacebisa iintsikelelo neziqalekiso kwaye umxholo wokuzifumana, ngokulandelelana, kukuthobela nokungathobeli. Unobangela wesiqalekiso yayikukungathobeli, kuba ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso akusayi kubakho siqalekiso.

Kwaye ngubani owamisa isiqalekiso? UThixo ngokwakhe!

“Kothi, ukuba uthe uthe akwaliphulaphula izwi likaYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba ugcine ungayigcini yonke imithetho yakhe nemimiselo yakhe endikuwiselayo namhla, zize phezu kwakho ezi ziqalekiso zonke zikufumane: Damn wena esixekweni kwaye uzokulahla elizweni. Damn ibhasikidi yakho kunye ne-kneader yakho. Siqalekisiwe isiqhamo sesizalo sakho, nesiqhamo somhlaba wakho, nembewu yeenkomo zakho, neyempahla yakho emfutshane. Uqalekisiwe xa ungena kwaye uqalekiswa xa uphuma. UYehova uya kuthuma isiqalekiso phezu kwakho, ukudideka kunye noloyiso kuyo yonke into obeka isandla sakho kuyo; ude utshabalale, ude ubhubhe ngesiquphe, ngenxa yezinto zakho ezimbi ozenzileyo ondishiye ngazo. (Dut. 28: 15-20)

Ngokuqinisekileyo, ngaphandle kwesizathu, akukho siqalekiso!

Igalelo lemali kwiziko elinikiweyo alikhululi nabani na kwiidemon, iziqalekiso, iliso elibi, njl. Imiyalezo enjalo yinkohliso ukudibanisa elula. Kungenxa yokuba ungenalo ulwazi lokuba awuyi kohlwaywa:

“Abalumkileyo babona ububi bazifihle; ke zona iziyatha zigqitha kubo, zohlwaywe.” (IMi 27:12)

Ukwenza ibango lokungazi phambi koThixo akukhululi nabani na kwiziphumo. Yiyo loo nto imfuneko yokuba umntu ahoye ilizwi likaThixo.

Kodwa, kukho abo balivayo ilizwi likaThixo, nangona kunjalo, bagqiba kwelokuba bahambe ngokokucebisa kweentliziyo zabo, becinga ukuba baya kuba noxolo. Inkohliso enkulu, kuba intsikelelo yeNkosi yeyabo bathobela ilizwi laKhe.

“Kwaye kuyakuthi, xa umntu eve amazwi esi siqalekiso, azisikelele entliziyweni yakhe, esithi: Ndiza kuba noxolo, nokuba ndihamba ngokwembono yentliziyo yam; ukongeza kunxano, nokusela.” (Dut. 29:19)

Isifundo esivela kumntu okholwayo kuYesu Krestu koko kwaziswa kumzekeliso weenkumbi sichazwa ngumpostile uPawulos kwabaseKorinte:

“Kwaye ezi zinto zenziwa kuthi ngomfanekiso, hleze sinqwenele izinto ezimbi, njengabo.” (1 Kor. 10: 6).

Kulabo bakholelwa ukuba uYesu unguKrestu, akusekho kugwetywa, kwaye into esiyifundayo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli kukuba singenzi iimpazamo ezifanayo. Ukuba akukho kugwetywa umntu osisidalwa esitsha, ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uzifihlile noKristu kuThixo, ke ngoko, akoyiki ziidemon, iziqalekiso, njl.

Nabani na okuKrestu ongendawo akamchukumisi, kuba uzimele kunye noKristu, kuThixo.

“Siyazi ukuba wonke umntu ozelwe nguThixo akoni; kodwa into eveliswe nguThixo iyazigcina, kwaye ongendawo akayichukumisi. ” (1 Yohane 5:18);

“Kuba sowufile kwaye ubomi bakho bufihlakele kunye noKrestu, kuThixo.” (Kol 3: 3)

Onke amakholwa kuKristu asikelelwe ngazo zonke iintsikelelo zokomoya kuKristu Yesu (Efe. 1: 3), ke akukho mfuneko yokoyika isenzo seedemon.

Esona siqalekiso sinokufikelela kwikholwa kukuvumela ukuba akhohliswe ngabantu abathi, ngobuqhetseba, bazikhohlise ngobuqhetseba, bemke enyanisweni yeendaba ezilungileyo (Eph 4: 14; 2 Pet 2: 20-21), ke ngoko, ngokunxulumene nabo bonke izinto, yena ungaphezu ophumeleleyo, kwaye akukho sidalwa unako ukwahlula kuye nothando lukaThixo, okuye uKristu.

“Kodwa kuzo zonke ezi zinto, singaphezulu kokuphumelela, ngulowo wasithandayo. Kuba ndiqinisekile ukuba ukufa, nobomi, nazingelosi, nazilawuli, magunya, okwangoku, nakwikamva, nokuphakama, nobunzulu, nasiphi na esinye isidalwa, akunako ukwahlula sothando lukaThixo, olukuye uKristu Yesu, iNkosi yethu ”(Roma 8: 37-39).

Ukuchwayita okuhle ngumyalelo kaKristu, kwaye oku kufuneka kube yenye yeempawu zamaKristu kweli hlabathi. Abo bakholelwa kuKrestu akufuneki bakhathazeke (Yohane 14: 1). Iimbandezelo zeli hlabathi likho ziqinisekile, nangona kunjalo, azinakuthelekiswa nozuko lwehlabathi elizayo, apho uthatha inxaxheba kulo.

Uloyiso kwihlabathi

Ukuphindaphinda: Wavuswa kwakhona, kwaye ngoku uyinxalenye yosapho lukaThixo njengonyana, nangona kunjalo, kukuthanda kwakhe ukuba ungasuswa emhlabeni. “Andiceli ukuba ubasuse ehlabathini; ndicela ukuba bakusindise ebubini” (Yohane 17:15). Phambi kweli hlabathi ucwangco lukaKrestu lucacile: Yomelelani, ndiloyisile ihlabathi! (UYohane 16:36).

Siyayazi loo nto “Wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo…” (Yohane 3:16), ukuze wonke umntu okholwayo kuKrestu angatshabalali afumane ubomi obungunaphakade. Leliphi ilizwe alithandayo uThixo? UThixo waluthanda uluntu, Oko kukuthi, uThixo wabathanda bonke abantu abazalwe nguAdam ngaphandle kokwahlulahlula (ubuntu = umhlaba).

Ungomnye wabantu abathandwa kakhulu nguThixo, kwaye noKrestu wahlangulwa ukuze ungatshabalali, kuba esi iya kuba sisiphelo soluntu, ngenxa yembewu ka-Adam enokonakala.

Ngoku, ngenxa yokuba ukuKristu, awuseyonxalenye yoluntu olulahlekileyo “Abangabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi” (Yohane 17:16). UThixo wabathanda bonke abantu, kwaye abo bakholwayo badalwa kwakhona njengamadoda omoya, kwaye bayeka ukuba ngabomhlaba ka-Adam.

Wakholelwa, wazalwa ngokutsha waba yinxalenye yendalo nosapho lukaThixo. Uyekile ukuba ngunyana ka-Adam, waza waba ngunyana kaThixo kuKristu (uAdam wokugqibela), indoda yokomoya.

UKristu, ngaphambi kokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni, wathandaza kuYise esithi: “Andiceli ukuba ubasuse ehlabathini; ndicela ukuba ubagcine ebubini” (Yohane 17:15). Oko kukuthi, uYesu wayezakususwa kweli hlabathi, kodwa abo bakholelwa kuye ngekhe basuswe kweli hlabathi. Oku kubonisa ukuba, nangona ungekasuswa kweli hlabathi, awungowalo (emhlabeni).

Uyimpahla ekhethekileyo kaThixo, utywinwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele othenjisiweyo:

“… osisiqinisekiso selifa lethu, ukukhululwa kwendlu kaThixo, ukuze kuzukiswe ubuqaqawuli bakhe” (Eph 1:14).

Nangona ungekasuswa emhlabeni, sele ulusindile urhwaphilizo olukulo.

“Esinike zona izithembiso ezikhulu nezixabisekileyo, ukuze ngazo nibe nenxaxheba kubume bobuThixo, nisinde ekonakaleni, okukhoyo ngokukhanuka okusehlabathini” (2Pe 1: 4).

Ndihlala ndikhumbula “… ukuba singabakaThixo, nokuba ihlabathi lilele kongendawo” (1 Yohane 5:19).

UYesu ucele uYise ukuba angakhutshwa emhlabeni kwaye agcinwe ekhohlakeleyo. Ngale ndlela, themba kananjalo ukuba nguYesu okugcina ungafumaneki kokubi (1 Yohane 5:18).

UYesu waloyisa ihlabathi kwaye nawe uthatha inxaxheba kolu loyiso. Nangona kunjalo, oku akuthethi ukuba ngelixa ukhoyo kweli hlabathi ukhuselekile kwiimbandezelo “Ndinixelele le nto, ukuze nibe noxolo kum; Ehlabathini niya kuba neembandezelo, kodwa yomelelani, mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi ”(Yohane 16:33).

Ukuchwayita okuhle ngumyalelo kaKristu kwaye oku kufuneka kube yenye yeempawu zabo bakholelwa kuye. Abo bakholelwa kuKrestu akufuneki baphazanyiswe xa behlangabezana neengxaki kobu bomi (Yohane 14: 1). Iimbandezelo zeli lizwe ziqinisekile, nangona kunjalo, azikho kufutshane nobuqaqawuli belizwe elizayo, apho uthatha inxaxheba kulo.

Uloyisile ihlabathi xa wawuphuma kusapho lukaThixo “Bantwana abancinci, nina ningabakaThixo, kwaye sele niboyisile; kuba okukhulu kuwe kunoko kusehlabathini” (1 Yohane 4: 4).

Ungaphezulu kwempumelelo yalowo wayekuthanda (Roma 8:37)!

Nangona kunjalo, kukho umyalezo wokulumkisa: “Musani ukulithanda ihlabathi nehlabathi…” (1 Yohane 2:15). Siyazi ukuba uKrestu usisicamagushelo sezono zehlabathi liphela, nabani na omamkelayo kungenxa yokuba Uyamthanda kwaye uyamthanda nalowo wamvelisayo.

Nabani na okholelwa kuKrestu wenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, uyafana nothando lukaThixo. Nabani na omthandayo uThixo akalithandi ihlabathi kwaye akangoweli hlabathi, oko kukuthi, kuba wenze intando kaThixo, okokukholelwa kulowo wamthumayo, awulithandi ihlabathi. Kodwa kwabo bangalithandiyo ilizwe (abo bakholelwa kuKrestu), kuhlala kungathandi oko kusehlabathini.

Ukuze ungathandi izinto ezisehlabathini kufuneka ulandele umpostile uPawulos. “Kwaye abo basebenzisa eli hlabathi, ngokungathi abalisebenzisanga kakubi, kuba ukubonakala kweli hlabathi kuyadlula” (1Co 7: 31). “Ngoku ke ihlabathi liyadlula, nenkanuko yalo…” (1 Yohane 2:17), kodwa uyakuhlala ngonaphakade noKristu.

Xa wawuzelwe nguThixo, woyisa umhlaba kwaye waqala ukuphila kumoya. Ke ngoko, ophilayo emoyeni (ivangeli), kufuneka ahambe ngokomoya “Ngokuba konke okuzelweyo nguThixo kuyaleyisa ihlabathi; lulo ke olu uloyiso oluleyisayo ihlabathi, ukholo lwethu” (1 Yohane 5: 4).

Unokholo (ukuphumla) kuThixo, kwaye ngenxa yoku, sele uleyisile ihlabathi. Olo loyiso lanikwa ngeendaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ukholo oloyisa ihlabathi. Ngoku, kuhlala kuwe ukuba uhambe phakathi kwabantu ngendlela efanele ubizo obizwe ngalo. Oko kukuthi, ungahambi (ungaziphathi) njengabanye abeeNtlanga, besenza zonke iintlobo zokuchithwa kunye nesiphithiphithi (Eph 4: 1, 17).

Isihlwele sazama ukumxuluba ngamatye uYesu ngenxa yamazwi akhe, hayi ngenxa yemimangaliso awayenzayo.

Umfazi womKanan

“Ndikubonise imisebenzi emininzi elungileyo evela kuBawo; yeyiphi le misebenzi undixuluba ngamatye? Aphendula amaYuda athi kuye, Asikuxulu beli msebenzi mhle, sikuhlambela; ngokuba ungumntu, waba nguThixo kuwe ”(Yohane 10:32 -33).

“Ephumile khona apho, uYesu wasinga kwimida yaseTire neTsidon. Kwathi thu umKananekazi, evela kuloo ndawo, ekhala esithi, Nkosi, nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba, intombi yam iphethwe yidemon kakubi. Akaphendula nelizwi. Beza abafundi bakhe kuye, bamcela besithi, Uvalelise, ngubani na lo ubesikhwaza emva kwethu? Waphendula ke yena wathi, Ndithunywe kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli zodwa. Weza ke waqubuda kuye, esithi, Nkosi, ndisize! Uphendule ke wathi, Akulungile ukuthatha isonka sabantwana, usiphose injana. Wathi ke yena, Ewe, Nkosi; kodwa nazo izinja zidla kwiimvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yabaninizo. Waza ke waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Mfazi, lukhulu ukholo lwakho; Mayenziwe kuwe njengoko unqwenela. Yaphiliswa intombi yakhe kwangelo lixa”(Mt 15: 21 -28).

 

Ikholwa lasemzini

Emva kokugxeka abaFarisi ngokucinga ukuba ukukhonza uThixo kufana nokulandela izithethe zabantu (Marko 7: 24-30), uYesu nabafundi bakhe baya kumazwe aseTire naseSidon.

Umvangeli uLucas uyenza icace into yokuba, kumazwe aphesheya, uYesu wangena endlwini kwaye wayengafuni ukuba bazi ukuba wayekhona, nangona kunjalo, kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuzifihla. Umfazi ongumGrike, ongumSirofenike wegazi, owayenentombi eyayinomoya ongcolileyo, wathi akuva ngoYesu, waqalisa ukumbongoza ukuba agxothe umoya owawumngcungcuthekisa kwintombi yakhe.

“Umfazi owayenentombi eyayinomoya ongcolileyo, esiva ngaye, waya wazijula ​​ezinyaweni zakhe” (Mk 7:25).

Um vangeli uMateyu uchaze ukuba lo mfazi washiya ubumelwane kwaye waqala ukukhala esithi: Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba, intombi yam iphethwe yidemon kakubi. Kodwa, nangona babembongoza, kubonakala ukuba uYesu akazange amve.

Ngokungafaniyo nabanye abaninzi beva ngoYesu, umfazi waseKanan wachaza inyani eyodwa:

– ‘Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba …’.

Eli bhinqa alizange likhalele umlingo, umlumbi, igqirha, umenzi wemimangaliso, ugqirha, njl. Ngelixa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babebuza ukuba ingaba ngokwenene uKrestu wayenguNyana kaDavide na, uNyana kaThixo, umfazi waseKanan wadanduluka eqinisekile: – ‘Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide…’, ukungaqiniseki okungaqhelekanga xa kuthelekiswa nengqikelelo yesihlwele “Yathi khamnqa yonke indimbane, yathi, Lo asinguye na uNyana kaDavide?” (Mt 12: 23).

“UThixo wayethembisile kwizibhalo ukuba uMesiya wayeza kuba ngunyana kaDavide, kwaye abantu bakwaSirayeli babekhangele phambili ekuzeni kwakhe. UThixo wayethembisile ukuba inzala kaDavide, ngokwasenyameni, yayiza kumakhela indlu uThixo nobukumkani bakwaSirayeli buza kumiswa ngaphezu kwazo zonke izikumkani” (2 Sam. 7:13, 16).

 Nangona kunjalo, kwaesi siprofeto sikwenza kwacaca ukuba le nzala iya kuba nguNyana kaThixo, kuba uThixo ngokwakhe wayeza kuba nguYise, kwaye inzala ibe nguNyana wakhe.

Ndiya kuba nguyise wakhe, yena abe ngunyana wam; ukuba ndithe ndaza ukona, ndimohlwaye ngentonga yabantu, nangobetho loonyana babantu ”(2 Sam 7:14).

Nangona wazalelwa endlwini kaDavide, kuba uMariya wayeyinzala kaDavide, ababhali nabaFarisi bamala uMesiya. Nangona iZibhalo zazicacisa gca ukuba uThixo wayenaye uNyana, babengakholelwa kuKrestu kwaye bayikhaba into yokuba uThixo unoNyana “Ngubani na owenyuka waya emazulwini, wehla? Ngubani ovale imimoya kumanqindi akho? Ngubani obophe amanzi kwimpahla? Ngubani na omise zonke iziphelo zehlabathi? Ungubani igama lakho? Ungubani igama lonyana wakho, ukuba uyalazi? (Imveliso 30: 3).

Ukujongana nombuzo kaYesu: “Batsho njani ukuba uKrestu ngunyana kaDavide?” Lk 20:41 ukuva ngoKristu kwakwanele ukugqiba ukuba uKristu wayenguNyana kaThixo uDavide ambiza ngokuba yiNkosi.

Ngoku, nangona wayengowasemzini, umfazi weva ngoKrestu, kwaye ulwazi olwamfikayo lwamkhokelela ekubeni agqibe ekubeni uKristu wayenguMesiya othenjisiweyo, iMbewu kaDavide “Yabonani, iyeza imihla, utsho uYehova, endiya kummisela uDavide iHlumelo elililungisa, athi, enguKumkani, alawule, enze ngengqiqo, enze izigwebo nokusesikweni emhlabeni ”(Yer 23: 5).

Ngenxa yokukhala komfazi, abafundi babekhathazekile, kwaye bacela uKrestu ukuba amgxothe. Ngelo xesha uYesu waphendula kubafundi bakhe esithi.

– Ndithunyelwe kuphela kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli.

Nangona wayekwilizwe lasemzini, uYesu wayigxininisa into awayeyithunyiwe “Weza kwabakhe, abakhe abamamkelanga” (Yohane 1:11); Abantu bam belahlekile, abalusi babo babacukucezela ezintabeni eziphambanisayo. besuka kwinduli baye endulini, balibale indawo yabo yokuphumla ”(Yer 50: 6).

Njengokuba abantu bakwa-Israyeli babelibele ‘ngendawo yokuphumla kwabo’, uThixo wathumela uNyana wabo, ozelwe ngumfazi, ukuba abhengeze:

“Yizani kum nonke nina nibulalekayo, nicinezelweyo, ndoninika ukuphumla” (Mt 11: 28);

“NgoNyana wakhe, owazalwa engowembewu kaDavide ngokwenyama” (Rom. 1: 3).

Xa wayebiza abantu bakowabo esithi: -Yizani kum nonke nina nikhatheleyo kwaye nicinezelwe, u Yesu uzichaza njengowokuzaliseka kwento eyaprofetwayo ngomlomo kaJeremiya.

Abantu bakaMesiya bamlahla, kodwa umfazi waseKanan waya kuYesu, waqubuda kuye, esithi:

-Nkosi, ndincede.

Umvangeli uMateyu uyenza icace into yokuba ngenxa yokuba umfazi wayecele uncedo kuKristu, wayemnqula. Kungenxa yokuba wakhwaza:

– Nkosi, ndincede, isicelo somfazi yayikukunqula uNyana kaDavide.

Emva kokuba evile ngoYesu, lo mfazi wayekholelwa ukuba unguNyana kaDavide kwaye, kwangaxeshanye, wayekholelwa ukuba uKrestu wayenguNyana kaThixo, kuba wayemnqula ecela uncedo. Umvangeli uyenza icace into yokuba isenzo sokucela uKrestu ukuba amnike isipho sokukhulula intombi yakhe kobo bubi boyikekayo, into engenakwenzeka emadodeni, yenza unqulo.

Unqulo lomfazi kubonakala ukuba alunamphumo, njengoko uYesu watshoyo: – Akulunganga ukuthatha isonka sabantwana usiphose kwiinjana. Impendulo kaKristu kumfazi yayihambelana nempendulo kaKristu kubafundi.

Ingxelo yomvangeli uMarko inika intsingiselo ngqo yebinzana likaKristu: “Bayanele abantwana kuqala; kuba akulungele ukuthatha isonka sabantwana usiphose kwiinjana ”(Marko 7:27). UYesu wayegxininisa ukuba ubufundisi bakhe bunxulunyaniswe nendlu kaSirayeli, kwaye ukuyenza kuya kufana nesenzo sendoda yosapho ethatha isonka ebantwaneni basinika injana.

Impendulo yomfazi waseKanan iyamangalisa, kuba khange enze kamnandi xa ethelekiswa nezinja, kwaye uphendula athi:

Ewe, Nkosi, kodwa iinjana nazo zitya iimvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yeenkosi zazo. Uqinisekisa into awayixelelwa nguYesu, nangona kunjalo, egxininisa ukuba wayengakhangeli kutya kwabantwana bakhe, kodwa efuna iimvuthuluka zezinjana.

Kwelo bhinqa, imvuthuluka evela kuNyana kaDavide itafile yayanele ukusombulula ingxaki yakhe. Ubonakalisile ukuba akazimiselanga kuthatha isonka kubantwana abanelungelo lokuthatha inxaxheba etafileni, kodwa imvuthuluka eyawa etafileni yoNyana kaDavide yayanele.

Waphendula uYesu wathi, Owu mfazi, lukhulu ukholo lwakho! Mayenziwe kuwe njengoko unqwenela. Intombi yomfazi lowo yayisaphilile.

Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba umfazi waseKanan wayezinyaswe kuba wayekholelwa ukuba uKrestu wayengumthunywa kaThixo, uNyana kaDavide, iNkosi, hayi ngenxa yokuba uYesu wayechukunyiswa yimeko kanina onxungupheleyo. Asikokuphelelwa lithemba kukayise okanye kukamama okwenza ukuba uThixo ancede abantu, ngenxa kaKristu, xa wayefunda iZibhalo kumprofeti uIsaya, othi “UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwam…”, wathi: “Namhlanje esi Sibhalo sizalisekisiwe ezindlebeni zakho” (Luka 4:21), kwaye yenze kwacaca ukuba kukuthembela kuThixo okushukumisa isandla sikaThixo, kuba babebaninzi abahlolokazi. Abasweleyo eYerusalem, phofu, uEliya wathunyelwa kwikhaya lomhlolokazi wasemzini. Kuba? Kuba umhlali wase Sarepta de Sidom waqonda ukuba u-Eliya ngumprofeti, kwaye ngaphandle kwesidingo sakhe, esasiphelelwe lithemba, wabonisa ukuzithemba kwakhe kuThixo ngokuthobela ilizwi lomprofeti (Luka 4:25 -26).

 

Ubungqina beZibhalo

Uninzi olwalulandela uKrestu lwaluneemfuno ezifanayo nezomfazi waseKanan, nangona kunjalo, loo mama wayevela esihlweleni ngenxa yokuqonda iinyaniso ezimbini ezibalulekileyo:

1. Ukuba uKristu wayengunyana kaDavide, kwaye;
2. uNyana kaThixo, iNkosi.

Nangona u-Kristu wayethunyelwe kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli, evakalisa ivangeli kwaye esenza imimangaliso emininzi, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babemthatha uYesu Krestu njengomnye umprofeti “Abanye bathi, NguYohane umbhaptizi; abanye bathi, NguEliya; bambi bathi, UnguYeremiya, mhlawumbi ungomnye wakubaprofeti ”(Mt 16:14).

Njengokuba abantwana bakaYakobi babengamamkeli uYesu njengomthunywa kaThixo, unyana womntu, uKrestu wathetha nabafundi bakhe esithi: ‘Kwaye nina, nithi ndingubani na?’. Ngelo xesha umpostile uPetros wenza uvumo olukhulu (evuma) ukuba uKrestu nguNyana kaThixo ophilileyo.

Njengokuba amaJuda ayengaboni ukuba uKrestu wayenguMesiya othenjisiweyo, nangona babephethe iZibhalo, ubungqina bokwenene bukaThixo ngoNyana wakhe, uYesu wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangayichazi le nyaniso nakubani na.

“Wabayalela ke abafundi bakhe ukuba bangaxeleli bani ukuba yena unguYesu uKristu” (Mt 16: 20).

Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu angafuni ukuba abafundi babhengeze ukuba unguKrestu?

Kungenxa yokuba uYesu wayefuna ukuba abantu bakholelwe kuye ngokweZibhalo, kuba ngabo abangqina ngaye. Kungenxa yokuba u Yesu uyayicacisa into yokuba: akabamkelanga ubungqina babantu, kwaye ukuba uzingqinela ubungqina bakhe abunakuba yinyani “Ukuba ndiyazingqinela, ubungqina bam abuyonyaniso” (Yohane 5:31), nokuba ubungqina obuvela kuYise (obuvela eZibhalweni) buyinyaniso kwaye banele “Kukho omnye ongqinayo ngam; ndiyazi ke, ukuba ubungqina bakhe buyinene” (Yohane 5:32).

Nangona siqonda ukuba uYohane uMbhaptizi wangqina ngoKrestu, kodwa ubungqina bakhe babubungqina benyaniso “Nina nithumele abathunywa kuYohane, wayingqinela inyaniso” (Yohane 5:33), oko kukuthi, yonke into eyathethwa ngumBhaptizi yayihambelana ngqo neZibhalo, kuba lilizwi likaThixo kuphela eliyinyaniso (Yohane 17:17).

Ngoku, uYesu wayengafuni ukuba abafundi bakhe bachaze ukuba wayenguKristu kuba akabamkeli ubungqina obuvela ebantwini (Yohane 5:34), phambi kokuba abenobungqina obukhulu, ubungqina bukaYise, kwaye bonke abantu kufuneka bakholelwe kubungqina bokuba uThixo ebhalwe ngoNyana wakhe eZibhalweni “Niyaziphengulula iZibhalo, kuba nicinga ukuba ninobomi obungunaphakade kuzo, kwaye ziyangqina ngam” (Yohane 5:39).

Ukukholelwa kuThixo akusuki kwimimangaliso, phambi kobungqina obabhengezwa ngabaprofeti ngenyaniso (Yohane 4:48). Ukuxela ‘imimangaliso’ ayingobungqina benyaniso. Umpostile uPetros uyenza icace gca into esingangqina ngayo: “Ke lona ilizwi leNkosi lihleli ngonaphakade. Elo ke leli lizwi lashunyayelwayo phakathi kwenu ”(1 Pet. 1:25). Ukungqina kukuthetha ilizwi likaThixo, ukuthetha oko kuthethwa ziZibhalo, ukwazisa abantu ukuba uKrestu nguNyana kaThixo.

Kule mihla kugxininiswa kakhulu ebantwini nakwimimangaliso eyenziwa ngabo, kodwa ibhayibhile iyayicacisa into yokuba ulungiselelo lwabapostile lwalungasekelwanga kwimimangaliso, kodwa lwalusekelwe kwilizwi. Intetho yokuqala kaPeter yabhenca abemi baseYerusalem kubungqina beZibhalo (Izenzo 2:14 -36). Nditsho nasemva kokuphilisa indoda esisiqhwala emnyango wetempile, wakhalimela abaphulaphuli bakhe ukuze bangothuswa ngumqondiso omangalisayo (Ac 3: 12), emva koko wabuchaza ubungqina beZibhalo (Ac 3:13 -26) .

Xa amaJuda amxuluba ngamatye uStefano, wayefana noJohane uMbhaptizi, engqina ngenyaniso, oko kukuthi, ecacisa ubungqina obanikwa nguThixo ngoNyana wakhe, evakalisa iZibhalo kwisihlwele esasinomsindo (Ac 7:51 -53).

Ukuba uStefano wayebala imiqondiso engummangaliso, ngekhe axulutywe ngamatye, kuba ukwaliwa kwabantu kunxulumene nelizwi leendaba ezilungileyo kwaye akunxulumene nemimangaliso (Yohane 6:60). Isihlwele sasifuna ukumxuluba ngamatye uYesu ngenxa yamazwi akhe, hayi ngenxa yemimangaliso awayenzayo.

“Ndinibonise imisebenzi emininzi elungileyo evela kuBawo; yeyiphi le misebenzi undixuluba ngamatye? Aphendula amaYuda athi kuye, Asikuxulu beli msebenzi mhle, sikuhlambela; ngokuba ungumntu, waba nguThixo kuwe ”(Yohane 10:32 -33).

Abaninzi babona ummangaliso owenziwa nguKrestu kumfazi waseKanan, nangona kunjalo, isihlwele esasimlandelayo asizange sivume ukuba uYesu wayenguNyana kaDavide njengoko wenzayo xa weva ngeLizwi elingunaphakade, ilizwi leNkosi elihlala ngonaphakade. Abantu bakwa-Israyeli babenikwe ithuba lokumamela iZibhalo, kodwa babeswelekile kumfazi ongumKanan owathi, akuva ngoYesu, wazukisa, wakhala ngoNyana kaDavide, wamnqula.

Ukwahluka komfazi kule nto yokuba weva kwaye wakholwa, ngelixa isihlwele esasilandela uKristu sayibona imimangaliso (Mt 11: 20 -22), sajonga izibhalo (Yohane 5:39) kwaye ngempazamo sagqiba ukuba uYesu kuphela Umprofeti. Bamkhanyela uKristu ukuze bangabinabomi (Yohane 5:40).

Kumfazi waseKanan nakwiintlanga ezininzi ezakholwayo, isibhengezo sikaIsaya siyazaliseka: “Ndafunwa kwababengandibuzi, ndafumaneka kwababengandifuni; Ndathi kuhlanga olungakhange lubizwe ngegama lam, Ndikho; Ndilapha ”(Is 65: 1).

Ngoku, siyazi ukuba (ukholo luza ngokuva,) nokuva ngelizwi likaThixo, kwaye le nto umfazi wayivayo kwanele ukukholelwa “Baya kubhenela njani na ke kulowo bangakholwanga kuye? Baya kukholwa njani na kulowo bangevanga ngaye? baya kuva njani na ukuba akukho bani ushumayelayo?” (Roma 10:14). Lowo uvayo kwaye akholwe usikelelwe, kuba noYesu ngokwakhe wathi: “Athi uYesu kuye, Ngokuba undibonile, Tomas, ukholiwe. banoyolo abo bangabonanga, bakholwa noko ”(Yohane 20:29).

Njengokuba inkazana engumKanan yayikholelwa, yabubona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo. Athi uYesu kuye, Anditshongo na kuwe ukuthi, Ukuba uyakholwa, uya kububona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo? (Yohane 11:40), ngokungafaniyo nabantu bakwa-Israyeli ababelindele ukubona amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo ukuze bakholwe “Bathi kuye, Wenza mqondiso mni na wena, ukuze simbone, sikholwe kuwe? Wenzani? “ (Jo 6:30).

Ngoku ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo butyhilekile ebusweni bukaKristu, hayi ngemisebenzi engummangaliso “Kuba uThixo, owathi ukukhanya kukhanya ebumnyameni, uyakhanya ezintliziyweni zethu, ngenxa yokukhanya kokwazi kobuqaqawuli bukaThixo, ebusweni bukaYesu Krestu” (2Co 4: 6). Okusindisayo kukuqaqamba kobuso bukaYehova obabufihlayo ubuso bakhe kwindlu yoonyana bakaSirayeli “Ndiza kulinda uYehova, obusithelisayo ubuso bakhe kwindlu kaYakobi, ndimlinde” (Is 8: 17; Nd 80: 3).

Umfazi waseKanan wayezinyuselwa ngenxa yokuba wayekholelwa, hayi kuba embeka uYesu eludongeni, okanye kuba emtyhola ngokuthi: – Ukuba awundiphenduli, ndiza kuzikrazula iZibhalo. Phambi kokuba anikwe ukukhululwa kwentombi yakhe, umfazi wayesele ekholwa, ngokungafaniyo nabaninzi abafuna isenzo esimangalisayo sokukholelwa.

Yintoni le wayivayo umfazi waseKanan ngoKristu? Ngoku, ukuba ukholo luza ngokuva, nokuva ngelizwi likaThixo. Into awayeyiva umfazi waseKanan yayingengobungqina bemimangaliso okanye ukuba umntu odumileyo wayeguqukile. Ukuva ukuba umntu othile uphumelele ngommangaliso, okanye ufunda ibhanile esithi uzuze ubabalo ayizukumenza umntu avume ekuhleni ukuba uKrestu ngunyana kaDavide!

Ubungqina obuvelisa ukholo buvela eziBhalweni, kuba bubungqina bukaKristu. Ukuthi umzobi waguqulwa, okanye umntu washiya iziyobisi, ubuhenyu, njl., Ayingomthetho kunye nobungqina obutywiniweyo phakathi kwabafundi bakaKristu. Umprofeti uIsaya ucacile:

“Kuwo umthetho nakubo ubungqina! Ukuba abathethi ngokweli lizwi, kungenxa yokuba akukho kukhanya kubo ”(Is 8:20).

Ubungqina luphawu lwecawa, hayi imiqondiso engummangaliso, kuba noKrestu ngokwakhe walumkisa ukuba abaprofeti bobuxoki bayakwenza imiqondiso, baprofete kwaye bakhuphe iidemon (Mt 7: 22). Isiqhamo esiphuma emilebeni, oko kukuthi, ubungqina ngumahluko phakathi kwenyaniso kunye nomprofeti wobuxoki, kuba umprofeti wobuxoki uza kuza ezifihle okwegusha, ukuze, ngezenzo nangokubonakala akunakwenzeka ukuba zichongwe (Mt 7:15) -16).

‘Nabani na okholelwa kum ngokweZibhalo’ yimeko emiselwe nguKrestu ukuze kubekho ukukhanya ebantwini “Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko sitsho iSibhalo, imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo iya kumphuma esibelekweni sakhe” (Yohane 7:38), kuba amazwi kaKrestu angumoya nobomi (Yohane 6:63), imbewu engenakonakala, kwaye kuphela imbewu enjalo ihluma ubomi obutsha obunika ilungelo lobomi obungunaphakade (1 Pet. 1:23).

Nabani na okholelwa kuKrestu njengoNyana kaDavide, iNkosi, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo, ayisengowasemzini okanye umphambukeli. Akayi kuphila kwiimvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yenkosi yakhe, kodwa sele engummi wedwa wabangcwele. Waba lilungu losapho lukaThixo.

“Ngokukhawuleza ukuba anisengabo abasemzini okanye abaphambukeli, kodwa ningabemi abangcwele kunye nosapho lukaThixo” (Eph 2: 19).

Nabani na okholelwa kuNyana kaDavide wakholwa kumnombo othenjiswe ku-Abraham, ke ngoko usikelelwe njengokholwayo u-Abraham, kwaye ethatha inxaxheba kuzo zonke izibonelelo ezithenjiswe nguThixo ngabaprofeti bakhe abangcwele, kuba yonke into eyabhalwa ngabaprofeti, yabhala ngoNyana (Yohane 5:46 -47; Heb 1: 1-2).

Nabani na okholwayo angenza zonke izinto kuThixo, nge “abathi ngokholo boyisa izikumkani, benza ubulungisa, bafumana izithembiso, bavala imilomo yeengonyama, bacima amandla omlilo, basinda kubukhali bekrele, kubuthathaka bazuza amandla, emfazweni bazabalaza, babeka imikhosi abasemzini. Abafazi babazuza abafileyo babo bevukile; abanye ke batyakatywa, bengalwamkeli ukhululo lwabo, ukuze bazuze uvuko olulunge ngakumbi. Kwaye abanye bafumana ukugculelwa kunye nezibetho, nkqu namatyathanga neentolongo. Baxulutywa ngamatye, basarhwa, bazama, babulawa ngekrele; Babehamba benxibe ezimpahleni zeegusha neebhokhwe, bengenakuzinceda, bebandezelekile, bephethwe gadalala (ilizwe elo lalingafanelekanga), behambahamba ezinkqantosini, nasezintabeni, nasemingxunyeni nasemiqolombeni yomhlaba.Zonke ezi zinto, zinobungqina ngokholo, azizange zifikelele kwisithembiso, uThixo esibonelela okungcono ngathi, ukuze zingagqitywa ngaphandle kwethu ” (Heb 11:33 -40).

Ukugwetyelwa ayingobugqwetha okanye isenzo sokugweba sikaThixo, esixolela, simkhulula okanye simnyanga umntu, ongenabulungisa, ngokungathi ulilungisa. Ngoku, ukuba uThixo ubaphathe ngokungenabulungisa ngokungathi ulungile, eneneni uya kuba wenza okungekho sikweni. Ukuba uThixo uthi umoni ulilungisa, singaba nengxelo eyintsomi nengacingelwayo, kuba uThixo ebeya kubhengeza into engeyonyani ngomntu.

Yintoni ukugwetyelwa?

“Kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono” (Roma 6: 7)

Iinkcazo ze Theological

Kuqhelekile ukuba inkolo yezenkolo iphathe imfundiso yokugwetyelwa njengemeko yomthetho, kungoko amabinzana athi ‘isenzo somthetho kaThixo’, ‘isenzo sokuqonda esivela kuThixo’, ‘ukuvakalisa ubulungisa’, njl., Kwiingcaciso malunga nesihloko sokugwetyelwa.

KwiScofield, nangona kufanelekile, ikholwa lisengumoni. UThixo uyayiqonda kwaye uyiphatha ikholwa njengelilungisa, kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba uThixo wenza umntu olilungisa.

“Umoni okholwayo ugwetyelwe, oko kukuthi, uphathwa njengelungisa (…) Ukugwetyelwa sisenzo sokwamkelwa nguThixo kwaye oko akuthethi ukwenza umntu abe lilungisa …” Scofield Bible with References, Rom. 3:28.

Ukuze uCharles C. Ryrie athethelele iindlela:

“Ukuxela ukuba umntu ulungile. Omabini la magama esiHebhere (sadaq) kunye nesiGrike (dikaioõ) athetha ‘ukuvakalisa’ okanye ‘ukuvakalisa’ isigwebo esivumayo, ukubhengeza umntu olungileyo. Le ngcamango ayithethi ukuba umntu makenze ubulungisa, koko ubhengeza nje ubulungisa ”URyrie, uCharles Caldwel, iTheology Theology – Iyafumaneka kuye wonke umntu, iguqulelwe nguJarbas Aragão – São Paulo: Christian World, 2004, p. 345.UGeorge Eldon Ladd uyakuqonda ukuthethelelwa kwigama lesiGrike elithi dikaioõ, njenge:

“‘Chaza ubulungisa”, ungayenzi intle’. Njengoko siza kubona, olona luvo luphambili, ekugwetyelweni, sisibhengezo sikaThixo, umgwebi olilungisa, wokuba umntu okholelwa kuKrestu, nangona enokuba ungumoni, ulungile-ubonwa njengolungileyo, kuba, kuKristu, wafika kubudlelwane obulungileyo noThixo ”Ladd, George Eldon, New Testament Theology, eguqulelwe nguDarci Dusilek noJussara M. Pinto, 1. Ed – São Paulo: Exodus, 97, p. 409.

Ukugwetyelwa ayingobugwenxa okanye isenzo sokugweba esenziwa nguThixo asixolelayo, simkhulula kwaye simnyanga umntu ongalunganga ngokungathi ulilungisa. Ngoku, ukuba uThixo ubaphathe ngokungenabulungisa ngokungathi ulungile, eneneni uya kuba wenza okungekho sikweni. Ukuba uThixo uthi umoni ulilungisa, singaba nengxelo eyintsomi nengacingelwayo, kuba uThixo ebeya kubhengeza into engeyonyani ngomntu.

Umongo wemfundiso yokugwetyelwa kukuba uThixo udala umntu omtsha kubulungisa bokwenyani nobungcwele kwaye umbiza ngokuba ulungile kuba loo mntu mtsha ulungile. UThixo akasebenzi ngobugqwetha, ubulungisa bokucinga, ukuya kwinqanaba lokuphatha njengalowo ungenabulungisa ngokwenene.

Ukulungiswa kwabafundi bezakwalizwi, ukugwetyelwa sisenzo sokugweba sikaThixo ngaphandle kotshintsho ebomini babo, oko kukuthi, uThixo akatshintshi imeko yomntu. Kukho ubuxoki, kuba uThixo ugwebela abo bazelwe ngokutsha (Yohane 3: 3). Ngoku, ukuba umntu uzelwe ngokukaThixo kwakhona, oku kuthetha ukuba uThixo wayiguqula imeko yomntu (1 Petros 1: 3 no 23).

Imeko yekholwa yahluke kwaphela kuleyo yayingakholelwa kuKrestu. Phambi kokukholelwa, umntu uphantsi kwamandla obumnyama kwaye, emva kokukholelwa, uhanjiswa ebukumkanini boNyana wothando lwakhe “owasikhupha emandleni obumnyama, wasisa kubukumkani boNyana wothando lwakhe” (Cl 1: 13).

Xa umntu wayephila esonweni esemandleni obumnyama, ke ngekhe avakaliswe elilungisa, kodwa abafileyo besono bagwetyelwe.

Ngoku, iinkqubo zomthetho esizifumana kwiinkundla zijongana nemiba nobudlelwane obunobutyebi phakathi kwabaphilayo, kanti imfundiso yokugwetyelwa ayibandakanyi imigaqo-nkqubo yezomthetho, kuba ngabo bafe nje esonweni bagwetyelwe esonweni!

Ibhayibhile ibonisa ukuba amaJuda kwanabeeNtlanga basindiswa ngobabalo lukaThixo olutyhilwe kuKristu Yesu. Ukusindiswa ngobabalo lukaThixo kuyafana nokusindiswa ngokholo, kuba uYesu ulukholo olubonakalalisiweyo (Gal 3:23). UYesu sisiseko esiqinileyo apho umntu athembele ngokupheleleyo kuThixo kwaye agwetyelwe (Heb 11: 1; 2 Kor 3: 4; Col 1:22).

UDaniel B. Pecota wathi:

“Ukholo alusoze lube sisiseko sokugwetyelwa. ITestamente Entsha ayizange ithi ukugwetyelwa yi-dia pistin (“endaweni yokufumana ukholo”), kodwa i-pisteos dia, (“ngokholo”) “.

Ngoku, ukuba siyaqonda ukuba uKrestu lukholo olwaluza kubonakaliswa, kulandela ukuba uKristu (ukholo) wayenjalo, kwaye uhlala esisiseko sokugwetyelwa. Ukudideka phakathi kuka ‘dia pistin’ (ukuthembela enyanisweni) kunye no’di pisteos ‘(inyani yona) kungenxa yokungafundeki kakuhle kwezibhayibhile, kuba uKrestu sisiseko esiqinileyo apho amadoda akholelwa ukuba ayamkholisa uThixo , kuba ukugwetyelwa kungoKristu (usuku lweepisteos).

Ingxaki enkulu kwimfundiso yabahlaziyi yokugwetyelwa kukuzama ukwahlula imfundiso yokugwetyelwa kwimfundiso yokuzalwa ngokutsha. Ngaphandle kokuphinda uzalwe akukho kugwetyelwa kwaye akukho kugwetyelwa ngaphandle kohlaziyo. Xa umntu enziwe ngokwenyama negazi, kubakho isigwebo sikaThixo: unetyala, kuba le yimeko yomntu owenziwe ngokwenyama (Yohane 1:12). Kodwa, xa umntu eveliswa kwakhona (ehlaziyiweyo), isigwebo asinikayo uThixo sithi: siyathetheleleka, kuba umntu ulilungisa.

 

Ukugwetywa kuAdam

Inyathelo lokuqala lokuqonda imfundiso yokugwetyelwa kukuqonda ukuba bonke abantu bonile kwaye basilela kuzuko lukaThixo (Rom. 3:23). Oku kuthetha ukuba, ngenxa yokona kuka-Adam, bonke abantu bebonke, xa babekwithanga lika-Adam, baba ziinqambi kwaye bafa kuThixo (Nd 53: 3; Nd 14: 3). Emva kokona kuka-Adam, yonke inzala yakhe yaqala ukuphilela isono kwaye yafa (yahlukaniswa, yahlulwa) kuThixo.

Xa ethetha ngale meko izuzwe njengelifa kuAdam, umpostile uPawulos wathi onke amadoda (amaJuda neeNtlanga) ngokwemvelo ayengabantwana bengqumbo (Efe. 2: 3). Kutheni abantwana bengqumbo? Kuba babengabantwana bokungathobeli kuka-Adam “Makungabikho namnye unilukuhlayo ngamazwi alambathayo; Ngenxa yezo zinto ingqumbo kaThixo phezu kwabangevayo ”(Efese 5: 6).

Ngenxa yokona kuka-Adam isono sangena emhlabeni, nangenxa yokungathobeli kwakhe bonke abantu bangaboni “Ke ngoko, njengokuba isono sangena ehlabathini ngesono, kwangena ke ukufa ngaso isono; ngenxa yoko bonke bonile”(Roma 5:12). Bonke abantu abazelwe ngokwenyama bangaboni kuba isigwebo sika-Adam (ukufa) sadlulela kuyo yonke inzala yakhe.

Uninzi alwazi ukuba abantu bangaboni ngenxa yesigwebo esizuzwe njengelifa kuAdam, kwaye bacinga ukuba abantu bangaboni ngenxa yemicimbi yokuziphatha evela kulwazi lokulungileyo nokubi.

Kuyimfuneko ukuba sikubone kakuhle ukona kuka-Adam kulwazi olufunyenwe kwiziqhamo zolwazi lokulungileyo nokubi. Ngelixa ulwazi lokulungileyo nokungalunganga lwalungeyiyo into eyahlula umntu kuThixo (isono), kuba uThixo uyakwazi okulungileyo nokubi (Gen. 3:22), ukungathobeli kwazisa isono (ukwahlukana, ukwahlukana, ukwahlukana) Isizathu somthetho owawusithi: Uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo (Gen. 2:17).

Isono singqineke sikhohlakele ngokugqithisileyo kuba umthetho ongcwele, olungileyo nomhle isono silawula sambulala umntu (Rom. 7:13). Ngaphandle kwesohlwayo somthetho: ‘uyakufa uyakufa’, isono besingayi kuba namandla okulawula umntu, kodwa ngamandla omthetho (uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo) isono safumana ithuba saza sabulala umntu (Rom. 7:11). Umthetho owanikwa e-Eden wawungcwele, ulungile kwaye ulungile kuba wawulumkisa umntu ngeziphumo zokungathobeli (awusayi kutya, kuba mhla wawutya, uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo).

Ngenxa yokona, abantu benziwe ngobugwenxa kwaye bakhulelwa esonweni (Nd 51: 5). Ukusuka kunina (kwasekuqaleni) abantu bayamfulathela uThixo (Nd 58: 3), eyona ndoda ingcono ifaniswa nameva, kwaye ethe tye ngocingo olwenziwe ngameva (Mk 7: 4). Kungenxa yokona kuka-Adam ukuba isigwebo siviwe: unetyala! (KwabaseRoma 3:23)

Yiyo ke loo nto uYobhi wabuza ukuba: “Ngubani onokukhupha eyona nyulu kwelinqambi? Akukho namnye ”(Yobhi 14: 4). Kodwa into engenakwenzeka ebantwini inokwenzeka kuThixo, kuba unamandla okwenza yonke into ibe ntsha: “ebakhangele ke uYesu, wathi, Kubantu akunakwenzeka; kungenxa kaThixo, kuba kungenxa kaThixo konke. izinto zinokwenzeka ”(Marko 10:27).

Ukugwetyelwa yimpendulo kaThixo kweyona mibuzo ibalulekileyo ebantwini: Umntu angamkeleka njani phambi koThixo? Impendulo icacile kwiTestamente eNtsha, ngakumbi ngolu hlobo lulandelayo lukaYesu Krestu: “Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Ongazalwanga ngokutsha akanakububona ubukumkani bukaThixo” (Yohane 3: 3). Kuyimfuneko ukuba uzalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya, kuba okuzalwa yinyama kuyinyama, kodwa abo bazelwe nguMoya bangabomoya (Roma 8: 1).

Ingxaki yokwahlulwa phakathi kukaThixo nabantu (isono) kubangelwa kukuzalwa kwendalo (1Co 15: 22), hayi kwindlela yokuziphatha kwamadoda. Isono sinxulumene nendalo yomntu ewileyo, hayi indlela aziphethe ngayo eluntwini.

Isisombululo kwisigwebo umntu asiphumezayo ekugwetyelweni kuKristu sivela kumandla kaThixo, hayi kwisenzo sokugweba. Okokuqala, kuba kwakwanele ukuba umntu angamthobeli uMdali ukuze isigwebo sokugwetywa simiselwe: ukufa (ukwahlulwa) kwabantu bonke (Roma 5:18). Okwesibini, kuba xa uYesu ebiza abantu ukuba bathabathe owakhe umnqamlezo, uyenza icace into yokuba ukuze uxolelaniswe noThixo nabantu kunyanzelekile ukuba uve isohlwayo esimiselweyo: ukufa. Ekufeni noKristu ubulungisa bunelisekile, kuba isohlwayo asiyonto engaphaya komntu owonileyo (Mt 10: 38; 1Ko 15: 36; 2Ko 4: 14).

Xa umntu owayekhubazekile abekwa phambi koYesu, wathi: “Ngoku ukuze wazi ukuba uNyana woMntu unamandla emhlabeni okuxolela izono (wathi kofe umzimba), Ndithi kuwe, Vuka, uthathe lala uye endlwini yakho ”(Mk 2: 10 -11). Lo mgca uvela kuYesu ubonakalisa ukuba isicatshulwa esiqhelekileyo esivela kumaRoma 3, iivesi 21 ukuya ku-25 malunga nokugwetyelwa akubandakanyi iingcinga zenkundla.

Ukuxolela izono ayiyomfuneko esemthethweni, ngumbuzo wamandla! Kuphela ngabo banegunya phezu kodongwe abanokuxolela izono ukwenza izitya zembeko ngobunzima obufanayo (Rom 9:21). Yiyo loo nto umpostile uPaul engenazintloni ngevangeli, kuba igospile ngamandla kaThixo okusindisa wonke umntu okholwayo (Rom. 1:16).

Xa ethetha ngalo mbandela noYobhi, uThixo uyenza icace into yokuba, ukuze umntu akwazi ukuzibhengeza elilungisa, kuya kufuneka ukuba neengalo ezifana nezikaThixo kwaye adudume njengoPhezukonke. Kuya kufuneka ukunxiba uzuko nobungangamsha kwaye unxibe imbeko nobungangamela. Kuya kufuneka akwazi ukuphalaza ingqumbo yakhe ngokutyumza abakhohlakeleyo endaweni yakhe. Kuphela kungokuhlangabezana nazo zonke ezi mfuno zidweliswe ngasentla apho umntu anokuthi azisindise (Yobhi 40: 8-14).

Kodwa, ekubeni umntu engenawo la mandla achazwe nguThixo, akasokuze akwazi ukuzivakalisa elilungisa okanye azisindise. UNyana woMntu, uYesu Krestu, kwelinye icala, angamvakalisa elilungisa umntu, kuba yena ngokwakhe wazambathisa ubuqaqawuli nobungangamsha ngokubuyela eluzukweni noBawo “Ke ngoku, Bawo, ndizukise nawe, Uzuko ebendinalo kunye nawe lingekabikho ihlabathi ”(Yohane 17: 5); Bhinqa ikrele lakho ethangeni, gorha, Bhinqa indili yakho nobungangamela bakho (Nd 45: 3).

 

Ijaji elungileyo

Isinyathelo sesibini ekuqondeni imfundiso yokugwetyelwa kukuqonda ukuba akukho ndlela yokuba uThixo axele abo bagwetyelweyo bengenatyala. UThixo nje akanako ukuvumela isohlwayo esimiselwe abenzi bobubi ukuba sisetyenziswe kubo.

UThixo akaze amgwebele umntu olilungisa ongendawo. kuba andiyi kumgwebela ongendawo “(Ex 23: 7). UThixo akaze abaphathe abenzi-bubi ngokungathi ubenza nje “makube lee kuwe ukwenza ngokwendawo enjalo ukubulala olilungisa kunye nongendawo; amalungisa makabe njengongendawo, kude kuwe. Umgwebi womhlaba wonke akanakwenza okusesikweni na?” (Gen. 18:25). UThixo akanakuze aqiniseke ukuba isohlwayo asifumanayo sinikezelwe komnye, njengoko ifundeka ngolu hlobo: “Umphefumlo owonayo, kuya kufa wona; Unyana akayi kuthwala ubugwenxa bukayise, noyise akayi kubuthwala ubugwenxa bonyana. Ubulungisa belungisa buya kuhlala phezu kwalo kwaye ubungendawo bongendawo buwe phezu kwakhe ”(Hez 18:20).

Xa uYesu waxelela uNikodemo ukuba kuyimfuneko ukuba umntu azalwe ngokutsha, yonke le mibuzo ingasentla yaqwalaselwa, njengoko uYesu wayesazi kakuhle ukuba uThixo akaze athi abo bazalwe ngokwenyama ka-Adam bakhululekile kwityala.

Xa ukuzalwa kwendalo, umntu wenziwa umoni, isitya sokudimazeka, ke, umntwana wengqumbo nokungathobeli. Ukuvakalisa ukuba umntu ukhululekile esonweni, kufuneka afe kuqala, kuba ukuba akafanga akasokuze aphilele uThixo “Kuba lowo ufileyo ugwetyelwe.yesono ”(Roma 6: 7); “Zidenge! into oyihlwayelayo ayenziwa iphile ngaphandle kokuba ufe kuqala ”(1Ko 15:36).

UKrestu wafela aboni – ilungisa labangemalungisa – kodwa nabani na ongayityi inyama asele negazi likaKrestu akazukuba nabomi kuye, oko kukuthi, kubalulekile ukuba umntu abe nenxaxheba ekufeni kukaKrestu “Kuba naye uKrestu weva ubunzima kwakanye. ngenxa yezono, ilungisa labangemalungisa, ukuba lisikhokelele kuThixo; ebulewe okunene esenyameni, kodwa edliswe ubomi nguMoya ”(1Pe 3:18); “Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, ukuba anithanga niyidle inyama yoNyana woMntu, nilisele igazi lakhe, aninabo ubomi kuni” (Yohane 6:53).

Ukutya inyama kunye nokusela igazi likaKrestu kuyafana nokukholelwa kuye (Yohane 6:35, 47). Ukukholelwa kuKrestu kuyafana nokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni naye.Umntu okholwayo ungcwatyiwe naye kwaye uyeke ukuphila ngenxa yesono aqale aphilele uThixo “Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu; Ndiyaphila, ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum. Ubomi ke endibudlayo ngoku, ndisenyameni, ndibudlela ekukholweni kuNyana kaThixo, owandithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yam ”(Gal 2:20; Roma 6: 4).

Indoda ekholelwa kuKrestu iyavuma ukuba inetyala lokufa ngenxa yokona kuka-Adam. Iyavuma ngokucacileyo ukuba uThixo ulungile xa ethetha kwaye ucocekile xa egweba inzala ka-Adam njengonetyala (Nd 51: 4). Uyavuma ukuba nguKrestu kuphela onamandla okudala umntu omtsha ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, ukuze lowo ungcwatyelwe naye avuse isidalwa esitsha.

 

Umntu omtsha kuKristu

Inyathelo lokugqibela ekuqondeni ukuthethelelwa kukuqonda ukuba ukusuka ekuzalweni ngokutsha kuza isidalwa esitsha esidalwe kubulungisa bokwenyani nobungcwele “Ke, ukuba ubani ukuKristu, isidalwa esitsha sikuko; izinto ezindala zimkile; Yabona, yonke into intsha ”(2Co 5: 17; Eph 4: 24). Esi sidalwa sitsha sivakaliswe silungile kuba ngokufanelekileyo uThixo wasidala kwakhona singenasiphoso phambi kwakhe.

Indoda ekholelwayo kuKrestu idalwe yakha yaba yinxalenye yendalo yobuthixo (2 Pet. 1: 4), kuba umntu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kwaza kwagqitywa umzimba owawungowesono. Emva kokungcwatywa noKrestu ekufaneni nokufa kwakhe, umntu uvusa isidalwa esitsha “Esazi oku, ukuba umntu wethu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye naye, ukuze umzimba wesono wenziwe, ukuze singabi sasikhonza isono” ( KwabaseRoma 6: 6).

Ngeendaba ezilungileyo, uThixo akapheleli nje ekuvakaliseni umntu elilungisa, kodwa ukwadala umntu omtsha olilungisa. Ngokungafaniyo nesibango sikaGqirha Scofield, esithi uThixo ubhengeza umoni elilungisa kuphela, kodwa akamenzi olilungisa.

Ibhayibhile ithi uThixo udala umntu omtsha kubulungisa bokwenyani nobungcwele (Eph 4: 24), ke ngoko, ukugwetyelwa kuvela kwisenzo sikaThixo sokuyila, ekuthi ngalo mntu mtsha adale inxaxheba kwindalo yobuthixo. Ukugwetyelwa ngokwaseBhayibhileni kubhekisa kwimeko yabo bazalwe ngokutsha ngenyaniso yevangeli (ukholo): bakhululekile kwityala okanye ekugwetyweni.

Akukho sigwebo kwabo bakuKristu. Kutheni kungekho sigwebo? Impendulo ilele kwinto yokuba umntu ‘ukuKristu’, kuba abo bakukristu zizidalwa ezitsha “NGAKHO, ngoku akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu, abangahambiyo ngokwenyama, kodwa abahamba ngokoMoya” (Roma 8: 1); “Ke, ukuba umntu ukuKristu, isidalwa esitsha sikuko; izinto ezindala zimkile; Yabona, yonke into intsha ”(2Co 5: 17).

Ukugwetyelwa kubangelwa yimeko entsha yabo bakukuKristu, kuba ukuba kuKristu kukuba sisidalwa esitsha “Ukuba ke uKristu ungaphakathi kwakho, umzimba okunene ufile ngenxa yesono, kodwa umoya uphilile ngenxa ubulungisa. Ukuba ke uMoya walowo wamvusayo uYesu kwabafileyo uhleli ngaphakathi kwenu, yena owamvusayo uKristu kwabafileyo uya kuyenza iphile nemizimba yenu enokufa, ngaye uMoya wakhe omiyo ngaphakathi kwenu ”(Roma 8: 10-11).

Nika umbuzo kampostile uPawulos: “Kuba xa sithi, sifuna ukugwetyelwa kuKristu, sifunyanwa singaboni nathi ngokwethu, ndiyabuza ndithi, uKristu ungumlungiseleli wesono na? Akunjalo ”(Gal 2:17). Ngoku u-Kristu ungumlungiseleli wobulungisa, kwaye akakho umlungiseleli wesono, ke ngoko, lowo ugwetyelweyo nguKrestu akafumaneki engumoni, kuba ufile esonweni “kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono” (Rom. 6: 7).

Xa umpostile uPawulos esithi: nguThixo ogwebayo! “Ngubani na oya kumangalela abanyulwa bakaThixo, inguThixo nje obagwebelayo? NguThixo owazigwebelayo” (Rom. 8:33), wayeqinisekile ukuba yayingengombandela wenkundla, kuba enkundleni uxela kuphela ukuba yintoni, kuba abanamandla okutshintsha imeko yabo bavela phambi kwabagwebi.

Xa kusithiwa ‘nguThixo ogwebayo’, umpostile uPawulos walatha amandla kaThixo adala umntu omtsha. UThixo uthi umntu ulilungisa kuba akukho kugwetywa kwabazizidalwa ezitsha. UThixo khange ayidlulisele kuKrestu imeko yomntu omdala, kodwa umntu omdala wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kwaye wenziwa, ukuze izidalwa ezitsha ezifileyo ezihleli noKristu kuzuko lukaThixo uYise, kwaye akukho sigwebo sibasindayo.

AmaKrestu avakaliswa elilungisa ngenxa yokuba enziwe amalungisa (dikaioõ) ngamandla akwiindaba ezilungileyo, ethi indoda leyo ithathe inxaxheba kumzimba kaKrestu, kuba wafa wabuya wavuka noKrestu engcwele, engenasiphako engenasiphako. inyama yakhe, ngokufa, ukunimisa phambi koThixo ningcwele, ningenasiphako, ningenakusoleka ”(Col 1: 22; Eph 2: 6; Col 3: 1).

Xa uPawulos esithi, “Kuba nakufayo, baye ke ubomi benu bufihlakele ndawonye noKristu kuye uThixo” (Col 3: 3), oko kuthetha ukuba umKristu ugwetyelwe esonweni, oko kukuthi, ufile esonweni (Roma 6: 1). 11), kwaye ndiphilela uThixo “Ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizwa ekufeni; ukuze, njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo, ngalo uzuko loYise, sithi ngokunjalo nathi sihambe sinobomi obutsha ”(Roma 6: 4).

UYesu wanikelwa nguThixo ukuba afe ngenxa yesono soluntu, kuba kubalulekile ukuba abantu bafe esonweni ukuze baphilele uThixo. Yiyo loo nto uKrestu Yesu wavuka, ukuze abo bavuka naye bavakaliswe bengamalungisa. Ngaphandle kokufa akukho luvuko, ngaphandle kovuko akukho sizathu “owanikelwa ngenxa yezono zethu, wabuya wavuka ngenxa yokugwetyelwa kwethu” (Roma 4:25).

Imeko yokufa phambi koThixo iphuma kwisohlwayo esimiselwe kwisilumkiso sikaThixo (uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo) ngenxa yesigwebo kunye nokugwetywa. Isigwebo sizise ubutshaba nokwahlukana, kuba uThixo ububomi kwaye wonke umntu okho ngaphandle kwakhe ufile. Akukho bumnyama kuThixo, kuba wonke umntu onobumnyama wahlukanisiwe naye. Njengoko kungekho bubudlelane phakathi kokuKhanya nobumnyama, kuyacaca ukuba akukho bubudlelane phakathi kukaThixo (ubomi) kunye nabantu abaphantsi kwesigwebo (abafileyo).

---

Kukuthini ukuba ‘uphile’ kwaye ‘ufile’?

Njengoko umpostile uPawulos watshoyo ukuba abo bafileyo bagwetyelwe, impendulo kwezi ndawo zine kuthethwa ngazo inokuba kwibinzana elithi: “Kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono”.

Phambi kokuba sicacise le mfihlakalo ingentla, kufuneka sijonge ukuba yintoni ‘ukusweleka’ nokuba ‘uyaphila’.

Ibhayibhile imisela ubudlelwane phakathi ‘kokufa’ kunye ‘nobomi’. Ulwalamano lubonisa ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba uphilele isono kwaye uphilele uThixo ngaxeshanye. Akukho ndlela yokuba umntu athabathe zombini ezi meko (izikhundla) ngaxeshanye phambi koThixo. Oko kukuthi, xa umntu ephila esonweni, ufile kuThixo, okanye, xa aphilele uThixo, ufile esonweni.

Mhlawumbi umfundi uya kubuza: kutheni kungenakwenzeka ukuba uphilele isono kwaye uphilele uThixo ngaxeshanye?

Akunakwenzeka ngenxa yezi zizathu zilandelayo:

“NguKrestu ke lowo owafayo, okanye wavuka kwabafileyo…” (Rom. 8:34)

Kwingoma yakhe yoloyiso uPawulos wathetha ngokufa kukaKristu. Nangona kunjalo, uKristu owafayo naye uvukile kwabafileyo. Kwangokunjalo abo bakholwayo balinganiswa noKrestu ekufeni (afe naye), kunye naye bavuka kwabafileyo (okanye ngaphambili).

Kungoko nangoko! Oko kukuthi, lowo ukholwayo kuKrestu uyafa esonweni kwaye aqale aphilele uThixo. Kanye njengokuba xa engazange athobele ukuzimisela kukaThixo, uAdam wafa ngoko nangoko kuThixo, ngokunjalo, abo bakholelwa kuKrestu bavuswa kwangoko noKristu, baqala baphilela uThixo.

Kuya kufuneka sigcine engqondweni ukuba uThixo uyiNkosi yazo zonke izinto nezinto zonke. UThixo uyiNkosi yabaphilayo nabafileyo, kuba kuye, wonke umntu uyaphila “Ngoku, uThixo akaThixo wabafileyo, ungowabaphilileyo; kuba bonke baphile ngaye ”(Luka 20:38; 2 Tim 4: 1; Rom 14: 9).

Ezi ndinyana zibhekisa kwabaphilayo nakwabafileyo, oko kukuthi, ibhekisa ekufeni komzimba nasekungafini komphefumlo. Ex: ULazaro, umngqibi, wayehlala kulo mhlaba kwaye xa wasweleka, wayeka ukuhlala kulo mnquba wasemhlabeni waqalisa ukuhlala ngonaphakade (Luka 16:20 -25). Indoda esisityebi, nayo eyaswelekayo, yayifile kuThixo ngexa yayikhona kweli hlabathi, kwaye ukusweleka kwayo (yawushiya umnquba wasemhlabeni) yachitha unaphakade ikwimeko yabafileyo (yahlulwe).

Ezi zezinye zeembekiselo kwigama elithi ukufa kunye nokusetyenziswa okunokwenzeka okuqulethwe yiBhayibhile ngamagama athi ‘ukufa’ kunye ‘nobomi’.

Nangona kunjalo, xa iBhayibhile isithi, “Sakubon ‘ukuba sisengofileyo nje ziziphoso zethu, yasidlisa ubomi ndawonye noKristu …” (Efe. 2: 5), ibonisa ukuba ikho nenye into esetyenziswayo xa kufikwa kwigama elithi’ ukufa ‘nelithi’ ubomi ‘.

Xa umntu engenaye uThixo ehlabathini (ngaphandle kukaKristu) (Eph 2: 12), ufile kuThixo. Imeko ‘yokufa’ komntu sisiphumo sokugwetywa okusekwe apho kumyezo wase-Eden, ku-Adam.

Xa uThixo waxelela esi sibini ukuba mhla batya emthini wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi, bayakufa ngokuqinisekileyo, isigqibo okanye isilumkiso sanikwa (awuzukutya), ixesha (ngosuku), ukuqinisekiswa kwesohlwayo (ngokuqinisekileyo), nohlobo lwesohlwayo (luya kufa): ukufa.

Umgwebo e-Eden wabangela ukugwetywa koluntu! Ngamanye amagama, “Umgwebo uvela kwityala elinye, enyanisweni, ukugweba …” (Rom. 5:16). UAdam noEva badalelwa uThixo bephila, emva kokugwetywa, bafa phambi koThixo.

Imeko yokufa phambi koThixo iphuma kwisohlwayo esifakwe kwisilumkiso sikaThixo (uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo), ngenxa yesigwebo kunye nokugwetywa. Isigwebo sizise ubutshaba nokwahlukana, kuba uThixo ububomi kwaye wonke umntu okho ngaphandle kwakhe ufile. Akukho bumnyama kuThixo, kuba wonke umntu onobumnyama wahlukanisiwe naye.

Njengoko kungekho bubudlelane phakathi kokuKhanya nobumnyama, kuyacaca ukuba akukho bubudlelane phakathi kukaThixo (ubomi) kunye nabantu abaphantsi kwesigwebo (abafileyo).

Kuba ‘ufile’ phambi koThixo, yonke imisebenzi ayenzayo umntu kule meko ingcoliswe sisono. Ukuba wenza izinto ezilungileyo nezingalunganga phambi kwabantu, azitshintshi imeko yomntu onetyala phambi koThixo, kuba ‘imisebenzi elungileyo’ ifezekiseka kuphela kuThixo, owazilungiselela kwangaphambili, kwabo bakholelwa kuKrestu.

Xa wayesona, uAdam wagwetyelwa ukufa, kwaye bonke abantu bagwetywa kunye naye. Njengokuba wonke umntu esifa, kwaye kuqinisekisiwe ukuba bonke bonile “… kunjalo ukufa kuye kwadlulela ebantwini bonke, kuba bonke bonile” (Roma 5:12).

Ubomi bunokwenzeka kuYesu kuphela, kuba ngoKrestu umntu ufikelela kwisipho sikaThixo sesisa, esibubomi obungunaphakade. UKristu ukuphela komntu ukufikelela kuThixo. Ukuba wamkela uKristu, umntu uba ngunyana wokukhanya, kwaye uya kuhlala ekukhanyeni kukaThixo (ubudlelane).

Ke: ukufa sisiphumo sokugwetywa okwenzeka kumyezo wase-Eden, apho bonke abantu baba ngaboni. Ubomi sisiphumo soxolelaniso lomntu noThixo. Umntu wenziwa kwakhona ngobulungisa bokwenyani nangobungcwele kwaye uqala ukuphilela uThixo (Eph 4: 24).

Ngokusekwe koku sikubonileyo, kuyacaca ukuba xa umpostile uPawulos esithi “… Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu …”, ubhekisa ekufeni noKristu hayi ekufeni kwakhe ngokwasemzimbeni.

Xa esithi uyaphila (… kwaye ndiyaphila …), uchaza imeko entsha phambi koThixo. Akakhange abhekise kubomi bakhe benyama.

Kwinxalenye yesibini yale vesi, xa esithi: “… kwaye ubomi endibuphilayo ngoku ndisenyameni…”, obu ‘bomi’ bubhekisa kubomi benyama.

Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni kunye nokristu. Ndiyaphila, ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum. Ubomi ke endibudlayo ngoku, ndisenyameni, ndibudlela ekukholweni kuNyana kaThixo, owandithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yam. ”(Gal 2:20)

Xa umpostile uPawulos esithi wayesele ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu, uyibeka icace into yokuba wafela esonweni, kwaye ngoku ubomi bakhe bufihlakele kunye noKrestu kuThixo (uKrestu uhlala kum). UPawulos wayeka ukuphila ubomi ‘bokuthobela’ umthetho (ubuFarisi), waqhubeka nokuphila ubomi bakhe bemihla ngemihla (esenyameni) ngokholo kuYesu.

Inokwenzeka into yokuba umntu abe kwimeko “yokuhlala kuKristu” emva kokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye nokungcwatywa noKristu.

“Kuba umthetho woMoya wobomi, kuKrestu Yesu, wandihlangula kumthetho wesono nokufa” (Roma 8: 2).

Ubomi obutsha umntu abuphila kuKrestu (ubomi) abunakho ukwabelwana xa umntu esonweni (ukufa), kuba isono sesona sizathu sokugwetywa komntu ngaphandle kukaKristu. Ubomi uThixo abunika umntu ngokholo kuKristu buyamkhulula kwimeko yangaphambili: isono (unobangela womgwebo nesigwebo) kunye nokufa (isohlwayo).

Ukuze, ngokukholwa kuKristu, umntu abe nenxaxheba ekufeni kwakhe, ngomzimba kaKrestu owanikelwa ngenxa yaboni. Umntu omdala uyabulawa xa ebethelelwa emnqamlezweni noKristu (okanye, indoda yaluswe ngolwaluko lukaKrestu, olukukukhulula umzimba wenyama) (Kol. 2:11), kwaye iqala ukuphila (isidalwa esitsha) ngoMoya. Ngonaphakade, ngenxa yobulungisa.

Ke, xa umpostile ebonisa ukuba umKristu ufile noKristu esonweni, kuyafana nokuthi amaKristu ebephila ngoMoya Ongunaphakade.

“Ukuba ke uKristu ungaphakathi kwenu, umzimba okunene ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa umoya uphilile ngenxa yobulungisa” (Roma 8:10).

“Kuba nafayo, baye ubomi benu bufihlakele ndawonye noKristu kuye uThixo” (Col 3: 3)

Ngokucaphula kumdumisi uDavide, kunokwenzeka ukulinganisa ubungakanani bamabinzana athi ‘gwebela’ kunye ‘nokugwetyelwa’ (Rom 6: 2 -3 kunye no-7 no-11), kwaye, ngendlela efanayo, ukugwetyelwa kwabo kuqinisekile, kuba lowo ufileyo ugwetyelwe.

Usebenzisa njani uDavide igama elithi ‘ukuzithethelela’

Ndonile kuwe, kuwe ndedwa, ndenza okubi emehlweni akho; ukuze ube lilungisa ekuthetheni kwakho, umsulwa ekugwebeni kwakho. (INdumiso 51: 4)

Igama elithi ‘ugwetyelwe’ lisetyenziswe ngumdumisi uDavide ukwazisa abafundi bakhe ukuba uThixo ulungile (ulungile). Njengoko umdumisi esazi ukuba uThixo ulungile, oku kukhuthaza umdumisi ukuba ayamkele imeko yakhe. Ke, kuyabonakala ukuba igama elithi ‘ukugwetyelwa’ (ukubhengeza okufanelekileyo) lisebenza kuphela kwinyani esisiseko.

Kubonakala ngathi ayifuneki, kodwa ayisiyiyo: UDavid uxela ukuba uThixo ulungile ngenxa yokuba elilungisa ngokwenyani, hayi ngenxa yokuba umdumisi eqonda ukuba unje.

Umpostile uPaulos xa evakalisa ukuba ‘uThixo uyinyaniso’ isekwe kwisibhengezo sikaKumkani uDavide, oko kukuthi, xa sibhengeza into echaphazela uThixo wethu, sazi ngokupheleleyo ukuba yinyani leyo, kuba yile nto sisixelelwa sisiBhalo.

“Lowo wabamkelayo ubungqina bakhe wangqina ukuba uThixo uyinyaniso” (Yohane 3:33)

Sifike kwindawo ebaluleke kakhulu: ukuba umpostile uPawulos usebenzisa igama elithi ‘ukugwetyelwa’ (evakalisa elilungisa) ukubonisa into ngamaKrestu, loo ntetho kufuneka ibe yinyani, oko kukuthi, ibonakalise ubunyani obufanelekile kumaKristu.

Akukho ndlela yokubhengeza ukuba umntu ugwetyelwe ngaphandle kokuba loo mntu engaphumelelanga, oko kukuthi, amaKristu afa ngokufanelekileyo “Thina, bafa esonweni…”, kwathiwa bangamalungisa “… kuba lowo ufileyo ugwetyelwe. isono “.

Xa umpostile uPawulos ebhala ukuba amaKristu kuvakaliswe ukuba angamalungisa, akabhekiseli kuxolelo, okanye ukukhululwa, okanye ukunikezela, okanye ukuthatha ingqalelo okanye ukukholelwa. UPawulos ubhekisa kwinto ezele yonk ‘into: lowo ufileyo ugwetyelwe.

Nabani na ongenguye umKristu akaphili ngokuvisisana nesibhengezo esinjalo, njengoko kuqinisekile ukuba akafanga esonweni. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba umntu ongafakwanga kwisimelabizo somntu wokuqala kwisininzi samaRoma amathandathu, ivesi yesibini ‘Si…’ (Rom. 6: 2), ufumana ingxelo yokuba kulungile? Hayi! Kuba? Kuba lo mntu akafanga esonweni!

Nabani ongafanga esonweni akanakho ukugwetyelwa (ukubhengezwa elilungisa), kuba ingxelo enjalo ayinakuba yinyani.

Akukho ndlela yokusebenzisa igama elithi ‘ukugwetyelwa’ kwabo bangakhange bafe, kuba wonke umntu ozelwe ngokwenyama akayonyani “… nawo onke amadoda axokayo njengokuba kubhaliwe” (Rom. 3: 4).

Bonke abantu abazalwe nguAdam abayonyani, kodwa uThixo uyinyani.

Imeko yalowo ungekho kuKrestu ibubuxoki, ngokuchaseneyo noThixo, oyinyani “Kodwa ukuba inyani kaThixo indizisele ubuqaqawuli obububuxoki …” (Rom. 3: 7).

Ngokucaphula iNdumiso 51, ivesi 4, umpostile uPawulos usibekela ipharamitha eyimfuneko yokuba siqonde ubungakanani begama elithi ‘gwebela’ xa lisetyenziswa nguye.

Umpostile uPawulos usebenzisa kuphela igama elithi ‘gwebela’ into eyinyani. Ukuba bekukho isithunzi sokuthandabuza, okanye into enokwenzeka ukuba lowo ufileyo akagwetyelwa phambi koThixo, uPawulos akazukusebenzisa igama elithi ‘gwebela’.

Kuyinyaniso ukuba ‘ukugwetyelwa’ akubhekiseli ekuthobekeni kwehambo yobuthixo xa kusithiwa umntu olilungisa ulilungisa.

Ngaba uThixo uyinyaniso, ukuba angamgwebela umntu ongenabulungisa? Siza kugqiba ngenye indlela: UThixo akamthetheleli umntu ophilayo esonweni.

Kuba, ngesicatshulwa esivela kumdumisi uDavide, kunokwenzeka ukulinganisa ubungakanani bentsingiselo ethi ‘gwebela’ kunye ‘nokugwetyelwa’, kuhlala kunjalo ukuba amaKristu kufuneka akuthathele ingqalelo ukufa kwabo noKristu (Roma 6: 2-3 kunye no-7 no-11 , kwaye, ngendlela efanayo, ukugwetyelwa kwabo kuqinisekile, kuba nalowo ufileyo ugwetyelwe.

Ukuba uPawulos ucebisa amaKristu ukuba athabathe ngokufanelekileyo imeko yokufa esonweni (Roma 6:11), kungenxa yokuba kwakufuneka bazi ukuba bagwetyelwe ngokupheleleyo phambi koThixo “Kungoko bagwetyelwayo ngokwaselukholweni…” (Roma 5: 1). .

AmaKristu alungile phambi koThixo ngezi zizathu zilandelayo:

1. a) NguThixo osigwebelayo “NguThixo osigwebelayo” (Roma 8:32);
2. b) Sinoxolo noThixo, ubungqina bokwenene bokuba sigwetyelwe ngokwaselukholweni “Ngoko ke, sigwetyelwe nje ngokwaselukholweni, sinoxolo kuThixo ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu” (Roma 5: 1), kwaye;
3. c) Akukho ukugwetywa kwabo bakuKristu Yesu, kuba sigwetyelwe ngokugqibeleleyo “Ngoku ke, ngoku akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu …” (Rom. 8: 1).

Akukho sizathu sokuba abo babeke isohlwayo kuye. Ayigwetyelwa ukuba ngubani oselutshaba noThixo. Akufanelekanga ukuba ngubani ongathembeli kuThixo, ngubani onokumgwebela.

Ukuba umntu akakholelwa kwinto uThixo asele eyibonelele ngosindiso lwasimahla, kuhlala kunjalo loo mntu akakholelwa kuKristu Yesu, njengoko zonke ezi ntsikelelo zanikezelwa emnqamlezweni.

Umpostile ubonakalisa ukuba ngabo bafe ngokugqibeleleyo esonweni kuphela abagwetyelwayo kwaye ucebisa amaKristu ukuba ayazi le meko (Roma 6:11).

Kuphela ngabo babebethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu, batyalwe kunye naye, bangcwatywa ngokubhaptizwa ekufeni kwaye bavuka naye, abagwetyelweyo.

Ukugwetywa kweBhayibhile ayisosenzo sokugweba. Akukho kuthelekiswa phakathi kokusesikweni kweenkundla zabantu kunye nokusesikweni kukaThixo. Ukugwetyelwa kukaThixo kuvela kwisenzo sikaThixo sokuyila, ekuthi ngaso umntu omtsha adalwe ngokukaThixo ngokusesikweni nangobungcwele bokwenene (Eph 4: 24). Ukulungiswa kweBhayibhile akufani nesigwebo, kuba nakwinkundla yomntu umntu onetyala akafunyanwa emsulwa.

Inkcazo yebhayibhile yokugwetyelwa

UMGANGATHO WEBHAYIBHILE ubhekisa kwimeko entsha efanelekileyo kwabo bakholwayo (baphumle) kuKrestu ngenyaniso yegospile (ukholo), ngenxa yesenzo sokuyila sikaTHIXO, nendoda eveliswe kuAdam, enetyala phambi koThixo, emva Ukufa kunye noKristu kuyenziwa kwakhona (kwenziwe) indoda entsha elilungisa, ekhululekile kwityala nakwisohlwayo.

Kuyaziwa ukuba amagama ‘agwetyelwe’ kunye ‘nobulungisa’ ziinguqulelo zamagama afanayo esiGrike (isenzi dikaioõ, ukwenza, ukuvakalisa ubulungisa, ukuthethelela; isibizo, dikaiosune, ubulungisa; isichazi, iDikaios, nje). Xa uThixo emgwebela umntu kungenxa yokuba wadala umntu omtsha, Oko kukuthi, umntu omtsha udalelwe ubulungisa, kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu uThixo embiza elilungisa kwaye ethe tye.

Isenzo sokugweba okanye isenzo sobabalo asinakuze simisele imeko yobulungisa (emsulwa) efanelekileyo kwisidalwa esitsha. Umntu omtsha owenziwe kuKristu ubhengezwa nje kuba eneneni engenatyala, oko kukuthi, umntu omtsha ngunyana Wokuthobela, ohluke kwimeko yakhe yakudala: unetyala, ugwetyelwe, unyana wengqumbo nokungathobeli.

Kwabaninzi bezakwalizwi, kwaye phakathi kwabo sibalaselisa u-E. H. Bancroft, umgwebo ngulo:

‘Isenzo somgwebo sikaThixo, othi lowo ubeka ithemba lakhe kuKrestu uvakaliswe ulungile emehlweni aKhe, kwaye ukhululekile kulo lonke ityala kunye nesohlwayo’ Bancroft, Emery H., Elementary Theology, 3rd Ed, 1960, Tenth Impression , 2001, Hlelaora Batista Rhoqo, Iphepha 255.

KwiScofield, nangona kufanelekile, ikholwa lisengumoni. UThixo umphatha njengelungisa, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba uThixo umenza olilungisa umntu.

“Ukugwetyelwa sisenzo sokwamkelwa nguThixo kwaye oko akuthethi ukwenza umntu amalungisa” Scofield, C. I., Scofield Bible with References, Roma 3: 28.

Kubonakala ngathi ukugwetyelwa ayisosenzo sokugweba. Akukho kuthelekiswa phakathi kokusesikweni kweenkundla zabantu kunye nokusesikweni kukaThixo. Ukugwetyelwa kuvela kwisenzo sikaThixo sokudala, ekwenziwa ngaso umntu omtsha, ngokukaThixo ngobulungisa bokwenene nobungcwele (Eph 4: 24). Ukugwetyelwa asikokugweba, kuba nakwinkundla yomntu umntu onetyala akanakubhengezwa emsulwa.

Ukugwetyelwa kungenxa yenyaniso yegospile, oko kukuthi, ngokholo (ivangeli) elalikhe lanikwa abangcwele. Ayilulo ‘ukholo’ olubekwa ngumntu kuThixo olumgwebelayo, kodwa ukugwetyelwa kuvela ‘kumyalezo weendaba ezilungileyo’ (ukholo) oluqukethe amandla anika ubomi kumntu omtsha (Rom. 1: 16 -17).

Amandla anjalo anikwa abo bakholwayo (ukholo), oko kukuthi, baphumla kuKristu, Lowo unamandla okwenza abantwana baka-Adam babe ngabakhe (Yohane 1:12 -13). Yiyo loo nto uPawulos esithi ubulungisa bukaThixo ‘lukholo elukholweni’.

KuScofield, uThixo akamenzi umntu ukuba alunge, kodwa uyamjonga kwaye amphathe njengolungileyo. Ngoku igama eliguqulelwe ngogwetyelo kukwenza, ukwenza, ukuvakalisa ubulungisa, kunye nokudala umntu omtsha kuKristu, uThixo wenza zonke izinto zibe ntsha. KuKristu kuvela umntu omtsha, enemeko entsha kunye nexesha elitsha!

Umntu omtsha udalwe ngobulungisa bokwenyani nobungcwele, yiyo loo nto ingxelo ayenzileyo uThixo iwela kwisidalwa esitsha, ingaze ibe yindoda endala eveliswe kuAdam. UThixo akangomntu oxokayo. Akabhengezi ubuxoki. Ngamalungisa kuphela avakaliswa elilungisa. Ukuba uThixo waqaphela kwaye wavakalisa ukuba umntu ulilungisa, nangona wayengenguye, bekungayi kuba yinyani.

Nangona kunjalo, siyazi ukuba uThixo uyinyani kwaye ngekhe amise ubuxoki:

“Ukuze izinto ezimbini ezingaguqukiyo, ekungenakwenzeka ukuba uThixo axoke kuzo, masibe nentuthuzelo eqinileyo, thina sibeka indawo yethu yokugcina ithemba esilicebileyo” (Heb. 6:18).

ULouis Berkhof kwiTheology yakhe eChaziweyo uchaza ukuthetheleleka njengesenzo sokugweba, esahlukileyo koku kujongwa ngasentla:

“Ukugwetyelwa isenzo somgwebo kaThixo, apho athi, ngokusekwe kubulungisa bukaYesu Krestu, ukuba onke amabango omthetho [kokubini ngokwento efunwa ngumthetho kuthi ngendlela yokuthobela kunye nokugweba yomoni njengokugwetywa nokufa] banelisekile kukujonga umoni ”. Idem.

Njengokuba kwinkundla yomntu umntu onetyala engenakugwetyelwa okanye angabikho isohlwayo, naye ke uThixo akamgwebeli umntu okhohlakeleyo, kuba isenzo esinjalo asikokusesikweni.

“Uya kubuya umva kumazwi obuxoki, ungabulali abangenatyala nabalungileyo; ngokuba andiyi kumgwebela ongendawo ” (Ex 23: 7).

Yiyo loo nto xa ukholwa kuKrestu, umntu esifa kunye noKrestu, kuba isohlwayo esimiselweyo asinakudlula kumntu owonileyo (Rom. 7: 4). Kuphela ngulowo ufileyo ugwetyelweyo esonweni “Kuba owafayo ugwetyelwe, wakhululwa kuso isono” (Roma 6: 7).

Oku kuthetha ukuba uThixo akaze abhengeze amalungisa akhohlakeleyo, oko kukuthi, amadoda azalwe emva kwembewu ka-Adam akasokuze agwetyelwe nguThixo. Kuphela ngabo bazelwe ngokutsha kuKristu abavakaliswa bengamalungisa, kuba bafa kunye noKristu, kwaye isidalwa esitsha siyavuka.

UThixo ubhengeza kuphela ukuba bangamalungisa abo bavuka ekufeni kunye noKristu umntu omtsha utyalwe ngokwembewu engenakonakala, imbewu ka-Adam wokugqibela: uKristu (Is 61: 3).
