Kwe i-blogpost edlule kwaxoxwa ngevangeli lesimanje lomusa, lapho ungeke kudingeke ushintshe futhi konke kuvunyelwe. Konke ukuziphatha, kuhlanganise nesono, kuvunyelwe futhi kwamukelwe, ngenxa yalokho okuthiwa uthando lukaNkulunkulu kanye nomusa kaNkulunkulu. Konke kungenxa yomusa futhi yingakho ungeke kudingeke ushintshe. Ungahlala, ngendlela oyiyo, futhi uphile ngendlela ofuna ukuphila ngayo. Kodwa ingabe lokhu kuyiqiniso? Uyini umusa ngokweBhayibheli? Usho ukuthini umusa kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zamaKrestu azelwe ngokusha? Uma ungashintshi ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu, pho kungani abaprofethi, abaphostoli, futhi uJesu ubiza abantu ukuba baphenduke futhi akhulume ngokususa izono nokuphila ukuphila okungcwele?
Ingabe uJesu nabaphostoli babengamanga?
Abaphostoli baphila enkathini yomusa yomoya efanayo naleyo esiphila kuyo, futhi ku. Ezincwadini zabo, ezabhalwa emva kokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu nangemva kokufika kukaMoya oNgcwele, abagcinanga ngokubhala amazwi athambile nakhuthazayo kumakholwa, kodwa ngokuyinhloko babhala izilungiso, ukujezisa, ukususwa kwezono, ekhumula ikhehla, ukungcweliswa kanye ucingo ukuphila impilo engcwele (Funda futhi: Lihlehlise kanjani ikhehla? futhi Indlela yokugqoka umuntu omusha?)
ENcwadini yesAmbulo, nayo eyabhalwa emva kokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu nangemuva kokufika kukaMoya oNgcwele, UJesu akagcinanga nje ngokukhuluma amazwi amahle amnene mayelana naseBandleni Lakhe, kodwa uJesu wabhekana namakholwa amabandla ayisikhombisa ngokuziphatha kwawo nemisebenzi yawo futhi wababizela ekuphendukeni (Funda futhi: Ubizo lokuphenduka) .
Ingabe uJesu nabaphostoli babengamanga?
Uma umusa kaNkulunkulu ufana nomusa kaNkulunkulu, lokho okushunyayelwa namuhla, lapho ungeke kudingeke ushintshe futhi ungaphila ngendlela ofuna ukuphila ngayo, lokho kusho ukuthi uJesu nabaphostoli bakhuluma amanga kumakholwa, ababesonta eBandleni; uMzimba kaKristu.
Ngoba uma amakholwa kungeke kudingeke ashintshe ngemva kokuzalwa kabusha, pho kungani uJesu nabaphostoli babhekana nabo ngemisebenzi yabo? Futhi kungani babayala ukuba bashintshe ukuziphatha kwabo kanye nokuhamba kwabo? Ubani okhuluma iqiniso? UJesu nabaphostoli noma abashumayeli nabafundisi banamuhla?
Uma umusa kaNkulunkulu ubungavuma futhi ubekezelele zonke izinhlobo zokuziphatha, noma liphikisana neZwi, futhi akazange abeke abakholwayo icala ngamazwi nemisebenzi yabo, ngakho-ke uJesu nabaphostoli kwakungeke kudingeke baqondise amakholwa. Kwakufanele nje bathi “Wenze kahle, qhubeka!”
Kodwa uJesu nabaphostoli abazange basho kanjalo, kodwa wabaxwayisa futhi wabhekana nabo ngamazwi abo, imisebenzi kanye nempilo futhi wayevame ukukhuluma amazwi anzima emabandleni, njengoba nje uJesu akhuluma amazwi alukhuni phakathi nokuhamba Kwakhe kulo mhlaba, emva kokuvuka Kwakhe nangesikhathi sokuvela Kwakhe kuJohane eNcwadini yeSambulo.
Ngesisekelo samazwi kaJesu phakathi nokuhamba Kwakhe emhlabeni nangemva kokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe kanye nobukhosi Bakhe, singaphetha ngokuthi uma othile engokaJesu futhi efunaMlandele, khona-ke umuntu akakwazi ukuqhubeka ephila enyameni futhi aqhubeke ephila esonweni futhi akufanele aguquke, futhi wenzeni (s)ufuna ukwenza. Ngoba luyofika usuku lapho wonke umuntu, kuhlanganise namakholwa, bayokuma phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi futhi bayokwahlulelwa ngokuvumelana……. imisebenzi yabo (2 AbaseKorinte 11:15, IsAmbulo 20:12-15).
Lokho kusho ukuthi imisebenzi ibalulekile nokuthi indlela umuntu aphila ngayo nalokho umuntu akwenzayo, zibalulekile ngokweZwi.
Kodwa wenzani umusa kaNkulunkulu, wonke umuntu akhuluma ngayo, kusho? Ukuze uvimbele lokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi ukuthi kube yinde kakhulu, le ndaba kuzoxoxwa ngayo kuma-blogposts amaningana.
Uyini umusa?
ETestamenteni elisha umusa uhunyushwe ususelwa egameni lesiGreki elithi ‘χάρις’, cha 5485 (SC) okuchaza: umusa, isimo somusa nomusa kumuntu, ngokuvamile ngokugxila enzuzweni enikezwa into; ngokwesandiso: isipho, inzuzo;isikweletu; amazwi omusa nenzuzo: ngiyabonga, isibusiso:- umusa womusa, ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga, injabulo, eyamukelekayo, inzuzo, isipho, nomusa, ukukhululeka, wabonga, ngiyabonga ngokufanele.
Umusa kusho, ukuthi uthola okuthile ngaphandle kokuyisebenzela. Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi ubungadingi ukwenza lutho ngakho, awukwazi ukukuzuza. Yingakho umusa kuwumusa ongafanelwe. Ngoba lapho nje ukuzuze ngemisebenzi yakho akusewona umusa, kodwa ubuhle bakho (AmaRoma 11:5-6).
Lokhu kuyasebenza nasemuseni kaNkulunkulu. Umusa kaNkulunkulu usibonisa ubuhle bukaNkulunkulu, umusa, nothando kubantu futhi lubandakanya okuphelele umsebenzi wokuhlenga kaJesu Kristu kanye nokuhlengwa nokubuyiselwa komuntu owile, obuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi osezuze ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngokuzalwa kabusha.
Ngokukholwa kuphela, ungaba ngumhlanganyeli womusa kaNkulunkulu. Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga nangokudlula ukuphenduka futhi ukuvuselelwa, ulungisisiwe futhi wemukelwe nguNkulunkulu. Awulungisiswanga futhi wenziwa ngcwele futhi ulungile ngemisebenzi yakho kodwa ngomsebenzi kaJesu Kristu. Ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, usube ngumhlanganyeli wesimo sobuNkulunkulu sikaNkulunkulu (AmaRoma 4:16-17, Thithu 3:5-7, 2 UPetru 1:4).
Wonke umuntu kulomhlaba unikezwe inkululeko yokuzikhethela ukuthi azikhethele ukuba ngumhlanganyeli womusa kaNkulunkulu noma cha..
Umusa kaNkulunkulu; isithembiso sikaMesiya
Kwe insimu yase-Edene, ngemva kokuba umuntu onile futhi ngenxa yalokho wawa esikhundleni uNkulunkulu ayesinike umuntu, UNkulunkulu wenza isithembiso (ngokomoya) ukubuyiselwa komuntu owile, kumuntu nenzalo yakhe (inzalo). UNkulunkulu wathembisa ukuthi wayeyobeka ubutha phakathi kwenyoka nowesifazane naphakathi kwenzalo yayo neNzalo yakhe nokuthi yayiyochoboza ikhanda layo. (Gen 3:15). INzalo yayibhekisela kuJesu Kristu.
Ngu Isethembiso sakhe, UNkulunkulu wabonisa umusa waKhe; Isihe nokulunga Kwakhe, ngoba umuntu wayengakufanelanga. Kubalulekile ukwazi, ukuthi u-Adamu wayengeyena owabantu bakwa-Israyeli benyama. U-Adamu wayeyindodana kaNkulunkulu, izibulo lomuntu kulomhlaba, loyise womuntu owileyo; izoni.
Ngenxa yakhe ukungalaleli emazwini kaNkulunkulu, U-Adamu wawa esikhundleni uNkulunkulu ayesinike umuntu, futhi ngenxa yalokho umoya wakhe, eyayimxhumanisa noBaba, wafa futhi ngalokho u-Adamu wahlukaniswa ngokomoya noNkulunkulu.
Umuntu waba umphefumulo ophilayo owawuqukethe umzimba nomphefumulo (inyama).
Labo, owayezazalwa enzalweni yomuntu, uzozalwa njengomuntu owile; isoni. Akekho owakhishwa ngaphandle! Kungakho uNkulunkulu wathi, ukuthi iNzalo yowesifazane yayiyochoboza ikhanda likadeveli. Njengoba kungekho muntu, owayezozalwa enzalweni yomuntu futhi ayeyozalwa eyisoni, wayezokwazi ukuchoboza ikhanda likadeveli futhi athathe igunya lakhe. Ngoba wonke umuntu, ozelwe eyisoni uphila ngaphansi kwegunya likasathane (ingelosi enkulu ewile) futhi ibekwe ngaphansi kwezingelosi.
Kwe insimu yase-Edene UNkulunkulu wathembisa ukubuyiselwa komuntu owile kanye nokubuyisana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu. Umuntu ubengamfanele, futhi akasoze akwazi ukukufanelekela, kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza isithembiso futhi wasigcina isithembiso saKhe. Ngenxa yothando Lwakhe olukhulu, ubuhle, nesihawu, Wanikela ngeNdodana Yakhe ezelwe yodwa uJesu Kristu ukuze ahlenge umuntu owile futhi abuyisele isikhundla somuntu owile (Jn 3:16).
Awukwazi ukuzuza umusa ngemisebenzi
Ngoba bonke bonile, njalo basilalelwe yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; Belungisiswa ngesihle ngomusa wakhe ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu: UNkulunkulu ammisile abe yinhlawulo ngokukholwa egazini lakhe, ukumemezela ukulunga kwakhe kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono esezadlula, ngokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu; Ukumemezela, ngithi, ngalesi sikhathi ukulunga Kwakhe: ukuze Abe ngolungileyo, nomlungisisi walowo okholwa nguJesu (AmaRoma 3:22-26)
Wonke umuntu, ozelwe ngenzalo yomuntu azalwe eyisoni. Akekho okhishiwe. Wonke umuntu, ozelwe kulomhlaba enyameni, izidingo ukuhlengwa kwemvelo yakhe ewile, elikhona enyameni, kuhlanganise nalabo, abangababantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama. Ngoba leso yisithembiso uNkulunkulu asinika abantu baKhe benyama kuqala kwase kuba kwabeZizwe (Isaya 56, Hoseya 2:23, AmaRoma 9:24-29)
Umphefumulo womuntu owile uhlala emzimbeni, kodwa umoya womuntu owileyo (isoni) ufile uhlala ufile.
Indoda ewile (isoni) uphila ngaphansi kwegunya nokubusa kukaSathane nombuso wakhe futhi akakwazi ukuphunyuka embusweni wakhe nokubusa kwakhe ngemisebenzi yakhe.. Umuntu owile akakwazi ukubalekela ukufa ngemisebenzi yakhe.
Kukhona kuphela indlela eyodwa futhi lokho kungokholo kuJesu Kristu, nomsebenzi Wakhe, futhi ngokusebenzisa ukuvuselelwa.
UJesu Kristu uye wabhekana nenkinga yesono kanye nemvelo yesono ekhona enyameni yomuntu owile futhi wanqoba isono nobubi endaweni yokushaywa futhi isiphambano. UJesu waba uMbambeli womuntu owile futhi usethathe zonke izono nokungalungi, okuholela ekufeni, phezu kwaKhe futhi wathatha isigwebo sokufa. Ukuze, UJesu wayezongena futhi anqobe ukufa futhi abuyisele isikhundla somuntu owile futhi abuyisele umuntu kuNkulunkulu.
Wonke umuntu, abangakholwa kuJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uyaphenduka futhi azalwe kabusha, wayeyohlengwa ekufeni ngokubeka phansi inyama yakhe. Umuntu uyokwenziwa ngcwele futhi alunge ngegazi likaJesu futhi umoya wakhe uyovuswa kwabafileyo ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele futhi athole ukuphila okuphakade. (AmaRoma 3:24, Kwabase-Efesu 1:4-12, Thithu 3:5-7, 1 UPetru 3:18).
Kungakho uJesu kwadingeka alingane nomuntu (Azifanise nomuntu), ukuze Abe yiMbambeli wethu. Kuphela uma uzihlanganisa nokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu, uyoba nokuthula noNkulunkulu futhi uthole ukuphila okuphakade (Funda futhi: ‘UJesu Wayengumuntu ngokugcwele?‘).
Ukulungisiswa ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu
Ngakho silungisiswa ngokholo, sinokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu: Ngaye futhi sinokungena ngokukholwa kulomusa esimi kuwo, futhi zithokoze ethembeni lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu (AmaRoma 5:1-2)
Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu; iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo futhi ekupheleleni Kwakhe umsebenzi wokuhlenga, lokho uJesu akufezile esiphambanweni, yilezo, abakholwa kuye, phenduka futhi uzalwe kabusha, wenziwa olungileyo wahlengwa ekufeni ((1 AbaseKorinte 1:4, AmaRoma 5:15, Thithu 3:5-7).
Ngokuvuselela, uyibethele esiphambanweni inyama yakho kanye nemvelo yayo yesono, nalapho kuhlala khona isono, sikubangele ukuba uphikelele esonweni, nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, umoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo. Nihlengiwe emandleni ombuso wobumnyama futhi wadluliselwa eMbusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo uJesu Kristu (AbaseKolose 1:13-14).
Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu singesabezizwe
Kungumusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu akusona esabantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama kuphela (Israyeli), nokuthi uNkulunkulu akabanikanga nje kuphela amandla okusindiswa ekufeni futhi bahlengwe esimweni sesono somuntu onesono., kodwa futhi uNkulunkulu wanika abeZizwe amandla okusindiswa futhi bahlengwe emandleni kadeveli, obusa emvelweni yesono yenyama, nokuthi ngokuzalwa kabusha bayobuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi bathole amandla okuba amadodana kaNkulunkulu.
Wonke umuntu unikezwe ikhono lokuba yingxenye yabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ngokusebenzisa i ukusoka kuKristu (UJohane 1:12-13, IzEnzo 4:33-34, AmaRoma 15:15-16, Kwabase-Efesu 3:6, AbaseKolose 1:6, 2 UThim 1:9-10, Thithu 3:4:7,1 UPetru 1:10-11).
Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu nangokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, usube a indalo entsha; umuntu omusha. Ube ngumhlanganyeli wesimo Sakhe sobuNkulunkulu ngokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele.
Kungumusa, ukuthi ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu senziwe olungileyo futhi waba nokuthula noNkulunkulu (AmaRoma 5:1-2).
Kungumusa, lokho ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga, wemukele okwakhe (ngokomoya) ifa; UMoya waKhe oNgcwele. Hhayi ngemisebenzi yakho, okwenzileyo, futhi hhayi ngoba ukufanele (IzEnzo 20:32, 1 AbaseKorinte 1:4-5, KwabaseGalathiya 1:3-5).
Ngoba ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi inyama iqukethe imvelo yesono, wonke umsebenzi ophuma enyameni mubi futhi wonakaliswe isono futhi yingakho umuntu engeke akwazi ukufanelekela noma ukufeza isimo sokulunga ngemisebenzi yakhe yenyama..
Ngomusa kaJesu Kristu, Lowo owayecebile waba mpofu, ukuze ngobumpofu baKhe, ungaba (ngokomoya) ocebile (2 AbaseKorinte 8:9).
Sindiswa ngomusa
Kodwa uNkulunkulu, ocebile ngesihawu, ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu asithanda ngalo, Nalapho sasifile ezonweni, usiphilise kanye noKristu, (ngomusa nisindisiwe;) Wasivusa kanyekanye, futhi wasihlalisa ndawonye ezindaweni zasezulwini kuKristu Jesu: Ukuze ezikhathini ezizayo abonakalise ingcebo enkulu yomusa wakhe ngobubele kithina ngoKristu Jesu. Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; nalokhu akuveli kini: kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu. Hhayi okwemisebenzi, hlezi umuntu ozibongayo (Kwabase-Efesu 2:4-9).
Kungumusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi wakwenza waphila kuJesu Kristu futhi wakusindisa.
Kungumusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi ukunike kuKristu indawo ezindaweni zasezulwini nokuthi uyikho ehlezi kuYe.
Manje ungaphila emseni kaNkulunkulu futhi ubonise umusa kaNkulunkulu, ubuhle, nomusa kubantu abakuzungezile, ngokushumayela ivangeli lomusa, okungumyalezo kaJesu Kristu, isiphambano, kanye nomsebenzi ophelele kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga, futhi ubanike amandla okuza kuJesu Kristu, futhi wamukele uJesu njengoMsindisi futhi wenze uJesu iNkosi phezu kwezimpilo zabo, ukuze bahlengwe esonweni sabo futhi basindiswe ekufeni. Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, ukuphenduka, nokuzalwa kutsha baba ngabahlanganyeli bomusa kaNkulunkulu.
Ngoba lelo yivangeli lomusa: ukuthi sonke isoni, noma kunganjani (s)usekwenzile, angeza kuJesu (IzEnzo 20:24, 1 UPetru 4:10).
Into kuphela, okufanele umuntu akwenze phenduka futhi ube azalwe kabusha kuKristu, okusho ukuthi umuntu uzobethela bese ebeka inyama yakhe phansi ukuze umoya ongaphakathi kumuntu uvuswe kwabafileyo ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.. Ngoba umoya womuntu awukwazi ukuvuswa kwabafileyo ngaphandle kokuba inyama ifile.
Akekho ongazuza insindiso yakhe. Akekho ongasindiswa futhi enziwe olungile futhi abe ngcwele ngokwenza ‘imisebenzi emihle’, umsebenzi wokupha, ukuya esontweni, kanye/noma nokugcina umthetho.
Kuphela ngomusa kaNkulunkulu nangokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, ngokuphenduka nokuzalwa kabusha, sonke isoni singahlengwa emvelweni yaso yesono futhi sisindiswe ekufeni. Yingakho ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqhubeka ushumayela lomlayezo womusa kaNkulunkulu, okungumyalezo wesiphambano.
Wenzani ngomusa kaNkulunkulu?
Ngakho samukela umbuso ongenakunyakaziswa, asibe nomusa, esingakhonza ngakho uNkulunkulu ngokwamukelekayo ngenhlonipho nangokwesaba uNkulunkulu: Ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu ungumlilo oqothulayo (IsiHebheru 12: 28-29)
Kodwa…. Manje njengoba usuthole umusa emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, okusho ukuthi usindisiwe ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi wemukelwe nguNkulunkulu nangaye ukuvuselelwa, usube yindodana Yakhe, wenzani ngomusa wakhe? (Kwabase-Efesu 1:5-7, Thithu 2:11-14)
Wenzani ngesikhundla sakho esisha njengendodana kaNkulunkulu futhi wenzani ngefa, enawemukela kuJesu Kristu?
Wenzani, ukuze ubonise ukubonga kwakho kuNkulunkulu? Uyambonga yini, Mhlonipheni, Mdumiseni futhi umphakamise ngempilo yakho, ngokuhamba emuseni Wakhe nangemva kwentando Yakhe? (2 Thesalonika 1:12)
Noma uhlala ungowenyama ulokhu uziphilela wena usebenzisa umusa kaNkulunkulu nakho konke okuphiwe wena, ukwanelisa izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yakho nokwakha owakho umbuso?
Nakuba ungalungisiswanga futhi ungenziwa ngcwele futhi ulungile ngemisebenzi yakho kodwa ngomusa nomsebenzi Wakhe, imisebenzi yokulunga iyokulandela. Ngoba senziwe olungileyo kuKristu futhi usuyisidalwa esisha Kuye futhi unesimo sikaNkulunkulu, niyohamba ngokulandela uMoya ekulungeni futhi nenze imisebenzi yokulunga.
Ngenxa yeqiniso, lokho ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu; iZwi, futhi ngomsebenzi Wakhe wenziwa ulungile, nawe uzokwenza lokho iZwi elikushoyo ukuthi ukwenze ngoba okwenzayo kuzoqinisekisa ukukholwa kwakho. Uma usho lokho uyakholwa, kodwa awukwenzi lokho iZwi elikutshela ukuthi ukwenze futhi ngalokho ube abangalaleli eZwini, khona-ke ukholo lwakho alunamisebenzi ngakho-ke ukholo lwakho alusho lutho futhi luwukufa (AmaRoma 4:4-5, UJames 2:14-26)
Yebo, usindisiwe ngomusa kaNkulunkulu futhi wangena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngakho konke okushoyo nokwenzayo empilweni; imisebenzi yakho, uyanquma ukuthi uhlale usindisiwe futhi uhlale eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu noma cha (Funda futhi: ‘Uma usulondoloziwe njalo?‘).
Awukwazi ukusindiswa ngemisebenzi yakho nangokugcina yonke imiyalo yomthetho, kodwa imisebenzi yakho iyafakaza, ongokabani: UJesu, iZwi noMbuso kaNkulunkulu noma udeveli, izwe nombuso wobumnyama.
‘Yiba usawoti womhlaba’
