UYesu wenza oko umalusi olungileyo afanele akwenze. UYesu wazondla izimvu waza wazomeleza. Wazibopha ezaphukileyo, waphilisa abagulayo, wafuna ezilahlekileyo, kwaye wazisa ikhaya elilahlekileyo. UYesu wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba balandele umzekelo Wakhe. Wayalela amakholwa ukuba ashumayele iindaba ezilungileyo kulo lonke ihlabathi. Ngoba? Ukufuna abalahlekileyo kwaye uzise abalahlekileyo ekhaya kwaye ubaxolelanise noThixo kwaye ube yinxalenye yomhlambi waKhe. Kodwa ngaba amaKristu asazisa abo balahlekileyo ekhaya?
Abalusi bendlu kaSirayeli bazilahlekisisa izimvu, bazichithachitha;
Abantu bam baba ziigusha ezilahlekileyo: abalusi babo babandwendwisa, babaqweqwedisa ezintabeni: benyuka besuka entabeni, baye endulini, Bayilibele indawo yabo yokuphumla. Bonke ababafumanayo babadla: Bathi ke ababandezeli babo, Asikhubeki, ngokuba bonile kuYehova, indawo yokuhlala yobulungisa, kanye iNkosi, ithemba looyise (UYeremiya 50:6-7)
Nangona iinkokeli zendlu kaSirayeli zazinolwazi oluninzi ngokwesithethe, babengamazi uThixo neendlela zakhe. Ngenxa yokuba babengamazi uThixo neendlela zakhe, bahamba ngeendlela ezingezizo iindlela zikaThixo yaye beshumayela izinto ezingabakhokelela kubulungisa nobomi, kodwa esonweni nasekufeni.
Ngamazwi akhohlisayo kunye nokuziphatha kunye nobomi beenkokheli, abathe bakreqa kuThixo, Abantu bakaThixo bayaphambuka kuThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Umoya kaEli).
Iigusha zathi saa, zahamba ngendlela yazo, njengokuba iinkokeli zabo zahamba ngendlela yazo. Bazibandakanya neentlanga ezingabahedeni baza bamkela izithixo zazo, izenzo zobuhedeni, amasiko, kunye nemikhwa.
Ngokungazi nokungabi nalwazi kwabo ngenyaniso, babecinga ukuba bahamba ngendlela ethe tye, bemkholisa uThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Yonke inkcubeko inyamalale kuKristu).
Abalusi babewushiyile umsebenzi wabo. Babexakeke kakhulu yiziqu zabo yaye bengazikhathalele izimvu nempilo-ntle yazo. Bazishiya ke iigusha ukuba zibe lishwa labo.
Abalusi babengakhathali xa imvu ilahlekile ize irhaxwe emanzini. Babengakhathali xa igusha iwela enzonzobileni okanye yenzakele okanye ibulawe yingcuka. Kwaye ke umhlambi waba mncinci kwaye omncinci. (Funda kwakhona: Abefundisi abaninzi bakhokelela izimvu enzonzobileni).
Abalusi bendlu kaSirayeli abazange bamphulaphule uThixo nabaprofeti Bakhe
UThixo wabona yonke into waza wazama ukufikelela kubelusi ngabaprofeti Bakhe. Kodwa abalusi abanekratshi nabaneenkani abazange bafune ukumamela abaprofeti. Babengafuni balungiswa ngamazwi kaThixo kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo abazange bafune ukuzithoba phambi kweNkosi. Ngoko ke, babavala umlomo abaprofeti ngokubabulala, ukuze bangeva amazwi eziyalo zikaThixo (Owu. UHezekile 34, UMateyu 23:31, ULuka 11;47).
Kanye ethubeni, kwaphakama umntu, owaphulaphula amazwi abaprofeti waza wabangela ukuba abantu bakaThixo babuyele kuThixo baze bahambe ngeendlela zakhe. Kodwa emva kwexesha elithile, abanye bavuka, owathi akathembeka kumazwi nomthetho kaThixo, wamshiya uThixo, wabathabatha abantu wahamba nabo.
UYohane umBhaptizi wababuyisela ekhaya abalahlekileyo
Ngezo ntsuku kufika uYohane umbhaptizi, Ukushumayela kwintlango yelakwaYuda, Kwaye esithi, Guqukani: kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele. Kuba lo ngulowo wayethetha yena uIsaya umprofeti, esithi, Ilizwi lodandulukayo entlango, gecani indlela yeNkosi, zityenenezeni iindlela zakhe (UMateyu 3:1-3)
Ngaphambi kokuba uYesu athabathe indima yakhe njengoMalusi aze azalisekise uthumo lwakhe, UYohane weza kulungisa indlela yeNkosi uYesu.
Entlango, ahlulwe koonyana bakaSirayeli, UYohane waxhotyiswa waza walungiselelwa nguThixo umsebenzi wakhe nesigidimi awayeza kusishumayela, oko kukuthi, ukufika kukaYesu Kristu, umnxeba oguqukayo, kwaye i ubhaptizo yenguquko.
UYohane wayengumanduleli kaYesu kunye nesigidimi sakhe, awayishumayela ngokwesiko, umxhuzulane, negunya abantu ababefanele baliphulaphule baze balithobele, wababizela enguqukweni abantu abaninzi ababelahlekile bendlu kaSirayeli emva ekhaya (UMateyu 3:1-12, Phawula 1:1-8, ULuka 3:1-20, UYohane 1:19-34).
Ngaphandle kweenkokeli, ababenekratshi kwaye beneenkani. Abazange bavume ukuguquka baze babhaptizwe. UYohane wabubona ububi babo nangenxa yokungafihlisi kwakhe, akazange abe mathidala ukubaxelela inyaniso.
Ngaphandle kokugxekwa kunye nokuchaswa kweenkokeli, UJohn waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe, ngako oko wanyulwa nguThixo waza wazisa ikhaya elilahlekileyo. (Funda kwakhona: UYohane umBhaptizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
UYesu, uMalusi Olungileyo
Kwathi ke ngaloo mihla, ukuba uYesu weza evela eNazarete yelaseGalili, wabhaptizwa nguYohane eYordan apho. Waza kwaoko enyuka ephuma emanzini, Wabona amazulu evulekile, waye uMoya esihla phezu kwakhe njengehobe: Kwabakho nezwi eliphuma ezulwini, esithi, Wena unguNyana wam oyintanda, endikholisiweyo nguye (Phawula 1:9-11)
Ngokuchasene neenkokeli zendlu kaSirayeli, UYesu, owaye engu aluke ngomhla wesibhozo, wazithoba phantsi kwesandla esinamandla sikaThixo, ngokuluphulaphula ubizo lukaYohane, nokubhaptizwa nguYohane. UThixo wayibona, waye yena ekholisiwe kakuhle nguNyana wakhe, waza uMoya oyiNgcwele wehla phezu koYesu (Owu. UMateyu 3:13-17, Phawula 1:9-11, ULuka 3:21-22).
UYesu wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele waza uMoya oyiNgcwele wamkhokelela entlango. Entlango, UYesu wayewulungiselele umsebenzi wakhe awayewunyulelwe, kunye nomsebenzi, Weza for.
Kuba 40 iintsuku, UYesu wahendwa ngumtyholi. Nangona kunjalo, UYesu akazange ahendwe ngamazwi kasathana kodwa wamchasa umtyholi ngokuphikisa amazwi akhe ngenyaniso kaThixo. (Owu. UMateyu 4:1-11, Phawula 1:12-13, ULuka 4:1-13 (Funda kwakhona: ndiya kukunika ubutyebi behlabathi)),
Emva koko 40 iintsuku, UYesu waqalisa umsebenzi wakhe ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. UYesu washumayela ngoBukumkani waza wabiza abantu ukuba baguquke. Ngamazwi nemisebenzi Yakhe, UYesu wazondla izimvu, wakhulisa iigusha, ndibophe ezaphukileyo, waphilisa iigusha. UYesu wafuna imvu elahlekileyo, wazisa imvu elahlekileyo ekhaya. Kwaye ekugqibeleni, UYesu wanikela ngobomi bakhe ngenxa yezimvu. (Funda kwakhona: Ukubandezeleka kunye nokugculelwa kukaYesu Kristu).
UYesu wabazisa ekhaya abalahlekileyo
Mna ndiya kuwalusa umhlambi wam, kwaye ndiya kubalalisa phantsi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova. Oko kulahlekileyo ndiya kufuna, ubuyise into egxothiweyo, yaye uya kuyibopha into eyaphukileyo, kwaye uya kubomeleza lowo ufayo: ke etyebileyo neyomeleleyo ndiya kuyitshabalalisa; ndiya kuzalusa ngokusesikweni (UHezekile 34:15-16)
Amazwi nemisebenzi yakhe yangqina ukuba uYesu unguMalusi Olungileyo nokuba Yena namazwi Akhe banokuthenjwa. UYesu wayenovelwano waza wazinyamekela izimvu kwaye akazange azishiye kwikamva lazo. (Funda kwakhona: UYesu nguMntu onemfesane).
Ndingumalusi olungileyo: Umalusi olungileyo unika ubomi bakhe ngenxa yezimvu (UYohane 10:11)
UYesu wondla waza wazondla izimvu ngenyaniso yakhe, ukulungisa, namazwi okulumkisa, owaphuma kuBawo.
Abantu bamphulaphula uYesu kwaye bakhwankqiswa yimfundiso yakhe. Kungenxa yokuba uYesu wabafundisa njengonegunya kungekhona njengababhali (UMateyu 7:28-29).
Kwaye ngoko uYesu wawubuyisela umhlambi waza wazisa ikhaya elilahlekileyo.
UYesu wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba balandele umzekelo Wakhe.
Ngaphambi kokuba uYesu abuyele kuYise, UYesu wanika abafundi bakhe olu xanduva. UYesu wabayalela, phakathi kwabanye, ukushumayela ivangeli kulo lonke ihlabathi nokuzisa abalahlekileyo ekhaya kwaye nokondla ngenyaniso kaThixo; amazwi kaThixo angalalanisiyo nokuwenza abafundi bakaYesu Kristu, abahamba ngendlela yakhe (Owu. UMateyu 10:27-28, Phawula 16:15-18, ULuka 24:46-49, UYohane 20:21-23).
Abafundi bazizisa ekhaya ezo zilahlekileyo
Into endinixelela yona ebumnyameni, Oko kuthetha ukuba kukukhanya: nento oyivayo endlebeni, Oko kukushumayeza iitrone zendlu. Kwaye ungoyiki abo babulala umzimba, kodwa abakwazi ukubulala umphefumlo: Kodwa ke yoyika lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo nomzimba esihogweni. (UMateyu 10:27-28)
Yiya ngoko, kwaye ufundise zonke izizwe, Ukubhaptiza egameni likatata, kunye noNyana, kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele: Nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endikuwisele umthetho ngazo nina: kwaye, khangela, Ndihleli nani, Kwanasekupheleni kwehlabathi. Amen (UMateyu 28:19-20)
Amakholwa nabafundi bakaYesu baluthwala olu xanduva. Bathobela amazwi kaYesu baza benza njengoko uYesu wayebayalele ukuba bakwenze. (Funda kwakhona: Abavayo ngokuchasene noomadoli).
Emva kokuba befumene uMoya oyiNgcwele, baya ehlabathini. Bashumayela ivangeli kaYesu Krestu nendlela yosindiso (ivangeli yosindiso) kwaye wazisa ikhaya elilahlekileyo.
Kwaye lo myalezo wevangeli kaYesu Krestu kunye nendlela yosindiso ayikatshintshi. Amazwi nothumo lukaYesu Kristu nazo azikatshintshi. Zisasebenza kuwo onke amakholwa, abazelwe ngokutsha kuKristu ngokholo babe sisidalwa esitsha; unyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi), kwaye babe ngabakaThixo kwaye baphile njengoonyana abathobelayo bakaThixo kwaye benze ukuthanda kwakhe.
Ngaba amaKristu asazisa abo balahlekileyo ekhaya?
Wonke umKristu, ababefanele ukuba likholwa, kufuneka ishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo kunye namazwi angenaluhanahaniso kaThixo, ukuze imiphefumlo elahlekileyo isindiswe. Ngenxa yokuba wngaphandle kokushunyayelwa kweendaba ezilungileyo, imiphefumlo emininzi ilahleka. (Funda kwakhona: Ukuba amaKhristu ahlala ethe cwaka, abathinjiwe ebumnyameni bakhulule?)
Ukuba imiphefumlo ayisindiswanga, baya kulahleka, baye esihogweni. Kwaye ngoMhla woMgwebo, bagwetywa abantu bonke ngokwezenzo zabo, baya kuphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Ngokuba wonke umntu, ongabhalwanga kwiNcwadi yoBomi, ziya kuphoswa edikeni lomlilo, oko kukufa kwesibini (ISityhilelo 20:11-15).
Negazi labo, abanye baya kuphendula. Kuba abazange bakwenze oko uYesu wayebayalele ukuba bakwenze.
