Ileta kaYakobi

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.
