Ulwaluko lumela umnqophiso phakathi koThixo nabantu bakhe. KuMnqophiso oMdala, wonke umntwana oyindoda, ababengabantu bakaThixo, Waluswa ngomhla wesibhozo ekwalusweni kwenyama yakhe. Xa kwasekwa uMnqophiso Omtsha, uMnqophiso oDala wonakala waphelelwa lixesha (Hebhere 8:13). Ukwaluka enyameni ngomhla wesibhozo kwakungasekho;. Ulwaluko enyameni lwathatyathelw’ indawo lulwaluko olukuKristu; ulwaluko lwasemoyeni (KwabaseKolose 2:11-12). Kodwa kuthetha ukuthini ulwaluko kuYesu Kristu ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Ulwaluko kuMnqophiso oMdala
Nguwo lo umnqophiso Wam, nokugcina oko, phakathi kwam nawe, nembewu yakho emva kwakho; Yonke into eyindoda kuni yaluswe. Nize nalùse inyama yokwaluswa; ibe ngumqondiso womnqophiso ophakathi kwam nani. Uneentsuku ezisibhozo makaluswe kuni, yonke into eyindoda kwizizukulwana zenu, lowo uzalelwe endlwini, nokuba uthengwe ngemali nakubani na, ongengo owembewu yakho. Ozalelwe endlwini yakho, nalowo uzuzwe ngemali yakho, kufuneka ukuba oluke: umnqophiso wam enyameni yenu uya kuba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade. Into eyindoda engalukileyo, enyama yokwaluswa ingaluswanga, loo mphefumlo wonqanyulwa, ungabikho ebantwini bakowawo; uwaphule umnqophiso wam (IGenesis 17:10-14).
UThixo wawumisa umnqophiso wakhe noAbraham. Umqondiso walo mnqophiso yayilulwaluko lwenyama ekwalukeni. Wonke umntwana oyindoda, ababengabanyulwa bakaThixo; Indibano yakhe, kwafuneka ukuba oluke ngosuku lwesibhozo.
Umnqophiso wagcinwa ngokugcina ulwaluko
Umnqophiso kaThixo wagcinwa ngokugcina ulwaluko. Wonke umntu, owalukayo, wahlulwa nguThixo kwabahedeni, engowakhe. Babengabantu baKhe. Ke ngoko babeza kufumana onke amalungelo obumi bamaYuda, eyayiqulathe ukhuseleko namalungiselelo kaThixo.
UThixo wayeza kubakhusela abantu bakhe aze abalungiselele, ngoxa abantu bakaThixo beya kulithobela ilizwi lakhe. Kwakufuneka bayigcine Imithetho yakhe nemimiselo kwaye niphile ngokwentando yakhe. Le yayiyimiqathango.
Amakhoboka nabasemzini babelukile enyameni
Kodwa ngomhla wesibhozo kwakungaluswa ngabantwana bembewu ka-Abraham. Amakhoboka kunye nabasemzini nabo kwakufuneka boluke (IGenesis 17:12, 13, iEksodus 12:48). Ayeluswa ukuze abe yinxalenye yomnqophiso aze anandiphe amalungelo okuba ngabemi bamaYuda.
Xa umntwana oyinkwenkwe wayengalukanga, wayengengowabantu bakaThixo kwaye engaphilanga phantsi kokhuselo Lwakhe.
Oku sikubona kubomi bukaMoses. Xa uMoses wayesendleleni kunye nomfazi wakhe nonyana wakhe, UYehova wazama ukumbulala unyana wakhe. Kwathi nje ukuba unyana kaMoses aluswe, uYehova wamshiya.
Kwathi ke, endleleni kwindawo yabahambi, ukuba uYehova wamhlangabeza, wafuna ukumbulala. UTsipora wathabatha ilitye elibukhali, wanqumla ijwabi lonyana wakhe, wayiphosa ezinyaweni zakhe, watsho, Inene ungumyeni wamagazi kum. Ngoko wamkhulula: wabe esithi, Ungumyeni wegazi wena, ngenxa yolwaluko (iEksodus 4:24-25)
Kwakutheni ukuze ulwaluko lungahoywa ngabantu bakaThixo?
Kwakukho ixesha apho ulwaluko lwalungahoywa, oko kukuthi, xa abantu bakaThixo babebhadula entlango. Bonke abantwana abangamakhwenkwe, nabazalelwe entlango babengalukanga.
Xa uYoshuwa nabantu bakaThixo, eGiligali, UThixo wayalela uYoshuwa ukuba abuyisele ulwaluko. Ukususela ngaloo mzuzu ukuya phambili, Yabuya yoluka yonke into eyindoda (UYoshuwa 5:2-9).
Ulwaluko lwalufuzisela ukucoceka nobungcwele
Ulwaluko lwaluluphawu lomnqophiso phakathi koThixo nabantu baKhe. Olu lwaluko lwalufuzisela ukucoceka nobungcwele. Yayifuzisela ukushenxiswa kwesono (ukungamthobeli uThixo) nokuphila ngokuthobela umthetho kaThixo nemithetho yaKhe.
UThixo wazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe, ngokubanika uMthetho wakhe. Lo Mthetho wawusele ukho, ngaphambi kokuba uThixo azibhale amacwecwe amatye wabanika abantu bakhe ngoMoses.
Umthetho kaThixo umele intando kaThixo.
Ngolwaluko, indoda, owathwala imbewu, yavakaliswa icocekile yaye inyulu yaye yayiyeyabantu abangcwele bakaThixo. Ulwaluko lwalububungqina bokuba lilungu lebandla likaThixo (ibandla).
ngokuba akusayi kuba sangena kuwe (iYerusalem) ongalukanga, noyinqambi (uIsaya 52:1)
Akusayi kungena kuwo (iYerusalem) nantoni na eyinqambi, nokuba yintoni na esebenzayo ilisikizi, okanye wenza ubuxoki: kodwa abo babhaliweyo eNcwadini yobomi yeMvana (ISityhilelo 21:27)
Ulwaluko kuMnqophiso oMtsha
Ukwaluka enyameni yayiluphawu kunye nesiko loMnqophiso oMdala, phakathi koThixo nabantu bakhe. Olu lwaluko lwalubonisa ukuba babengabakaThixo. Kodwa ulwaluko enyameni lwaphelelwa lixabiso xa uMnqophiso oMtsha kuYesu Kristu waqalisa ukusebenza.
Ulwaluko oludala lwathatyathelwa indawo yolwaluko olutsha, owawungowoMnqophiso oMtsha: ulwaluko kuYesu Kristu.
Ulwaluko lwaseMoyeni
KuMnqophiso Omtsha, kwakungenamsebenzi, nokuba umntu walukile enyameni, nokuba akalukanga, kodwa ukuba umntu walukile kuKristu Yesu, ngoMoya. Eyona nto yayibalulekile, nokuba umntu wayibeka phantsi inyama yakhe kunye nemvelo yayo yesono, waba sisidalwa esitsha kuYesu Kristu.
Kuba kwabakuKristu Yesu, akunamandla anto ukwaluka, kwanokungaluki, kodwa sisidalwa esitsha. Kwaye bonke abahamba ngokwalo mgaqo, uxolo malube phezu kwabo, nenceba, naphezu koSirayeli kaThixo (kwabaseGalati 6:15-16)
Xa uMnqophiso oMtsha wawusekiwe kwaye uMnqophiso oDala waphelelwa lixesha, amaYuda anyanzela abeeNtlanga, ababa ngabantu bakaThixo ngokholo kuYesu Kristu, Ukwaluka enyameni. Babebambelele kakhulu kwizithethe nezithethe zabo, babecinga ukuba ulwaluko enyameni lwalusafuneka ukuze babe lilungu lebandla likaThixo (iBandla).
Kwehla abathile bevela kwelakwaYuda, babafundisa abazalwana, watsho, Ukuba anithanga naluswe ngokwesiko likaMoses, aninako ukusindiswa (IZenzo 15:1)
Kodwa uPawulos wababonisa, ukuba yayingasafaneleki. Ulwaluko lwasenyameni lwalululoMnqophiso oMdala kwaye lwalungaseyonxalenye yoMnqophiso oMtsha.
Kuthetha ukuthini ulwaluko kuYesu Kristu?
enathi kuye naluswa nokwaluswa ngolwaluko olungenakwenziwa ngazandla, ekuhlutheni umzimba wezono zenyama, ngalo ulwaluko lukaKristu: Wangcwatywa naye elubhaptizweni, ekuye, navuswa nokuvuswa naye, ngokukholwa kukusebenza kukaThixo, owamvusayo kwabafileyo (KwabaseKolose 2:11-12)
Kwaye uYehova uThixo wakho uya kwalusa intliziyo yakho, nentliziyo yembewu yakho, ukuba umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, ukuze uphile (iDuteronomi 30:6)
Kuba yena asingomYuda, nto leyo ingaphandle; nolwaluko ke asilulo olo, nto leyo ingaphandle enyameni: Kodwa yena ungumYuda, yona enye ngaphakathi; nolwaluko lolwentliziyo, emoyeni, hayi ngeleta; ongadunyiswanga bantwini, kodwa nguThixo (AmaRoma 2:28-29)
Ulwaluko lwenyama lwaluluphawu lomnqophiso kaThixo noAbraham.
Ngenxa yenyani, loo mntu wayenokuhamba emva kwenyama kuphela, babelukile enyameni.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokuza kukaYesu Krestu nedini Lakhe, uMnqophiso oMdala owawutywinwe nge igazi lezilwanyana yaphelelwa lixesha.
Umnqophiso oMdala wathatyathelwa indawo nguMnqophiso oMtsha owatywinwa ngegazi elixabisekileyo likaYesu Krestu.
Umkhusane wetempile lawalùswe (ziqashwe kubini) Kwaye indlela eya kuThixo yayingasengayo ulwaluko enyameni okanye ngemimiselo namasiko, nombingeleli omkhulu etempileni. Kodwa indlela eya kuThixo yayingoYesu Kristu; uMbingeleli oMkhulu woMnqophiso oMtsha.
UYesu waba sisigqubuthelo sikaThixo
Ukuba ngoko, bazalwana, isibindi sokungena kweyona ngcwele ngegazi likaYesu, Ngendlela entsha nephilayo, athe wasingcwalisa yona, ngekhuselo, koko kukuthi, Inyama yakhe; Kwaye ndinombingeleli omkhulu phezu kwendlu kaThixo; Masisondele sinentliziyo enyanisekileyo, siqinisekile ngokholo, sitshintyiwe iintliziyo zethu, sisusiwe isazela esingendawo, nemizimba yethu ihlanjwe ngamanzi acwengileyo (Hebhere 10:19-22)
UYesu Kristu waba sisigqubuthelo kuThixo. UYesu wazithathela kuye zonke izono nobugwenxa boluntu. Wasithwala isohlwayo sesono, efileyo. Wangena ngoko uYesu kwelabafileyo. Kodwa… UYesu akazange ahlale apho! Ukufa kwakungenamandla ngokwaneleyo ukuze kugcinwe uYesu apho.
UYesu Kristu wakoyisa ukufa waza wavuswa kwabafileyo, ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. Inyama yakhe eyayinziwe isono yabekwa phantsi. UYesu wavuswa kwabafileyo ‘ekwindlela entsha’ umzimba. Umzimba ongonakaliswanga bububi, kodwa wayezaliswe bubomi obungunaphakade.
Ngoko ke uYesu waba sisonka esingenagwele esivela ezulwini, ngoBani, abaninzi babeya kusindiswa baze bafumane ubomi obungunaphakade.
UYesu wavakalisa ukufa nokuvuka kwakhe
UYesu wathetha kaninzi kubafundi bakhe ngokufa nokuvuka kwakhe. Kwakufuneka afe, ukuze ngovuko lwakhe lokufa, nokunyukela eZulwini, uMoya oyiNgcwele unokuza ahlale kubomi bendalo entsha.
Indalo entsha yayizikhanyele. Babane bayibeka phantsi imeko yabo yesono bavuswa kwabafileyo ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele.
UYesu wathelekisa ubomi bakhe, ukufa, nokuvuka ngembewu yengqolowa.
Ukuba imbewu yengqolowa ayifi, imbewu yengqolowa ihlala iyikhozo kwaye ayiyi kuthwala siqhamo.
UYesu ngewayekhethe ukuhlala eyimbewu yokhozo. Ngewayekhethe ukuziphilela, kodwa uYesu akazange akwenze oko.
UYesu wayemthanda uYise kwaye wakhetha ukwenza intando kaYise emhlabeni.
UYesu wayeliZibulo indalo entsha, owadalwa nguThixo ekuqaleni ngaphambi kokuba uAdam one.
NgoYesu’ ukufa nokuvuka; ngegazi laKhe, kwakunokwenzeka ukuba ube sisidalwa esitsha kuye. Kodwa ukuze ube sisidalwa esitsha kufuneka uncame eyakho ubomi obudala; imvelo yenu yesono kunye neenkanuko zayo kuqala. Kungenxa yokuba imbewu yokhozo yayingabhekiseli kuYesu kuphela’ ukufa nokuvuka, kodwa kuwo wonke umoni, abakholwayo kuye.
Wabhaptizelwa kwabafileyo baKhe
Xa ukholelwa kuYesu Kristu kwaye guqukani yokuhamba kwakho, nibuncamile ubomi benu obugwenxa; imvelo yenu yesono. Uya kukwenza oku ngokomfuziselo ngokubhaptizwa emanzini.
Ngokubhaptizwa emanzini, ubeka ubomi bakho obudala benyama njengomoni kwaye waluswe kuYesu Kristu. Ubhaptiziwe kwaye umanyene ekufeni kukaYesu Kristu.
Ngoko ke sangcwatywa naye ngokubhaptizelwa ekufeni: ukuze njengokuba uKristu wavuswayo kwabafileyo ngalo uzuko loYise, Ngokunjalo nathi sifanele sihambe sinobomi obutsha (AmaRoma 6:4-5)
Ngokubekwa phantsi kwenyama yakho kwaye ungcwatywe ekufeni kukaYesu Kristu, anisengomtyholi nobukumkani bobumnyama. Ukufa akusalawuleki kuwe.
Wawubeka phantsi umzimba wakho ngokubhaptizwa emanzini (ukufa kukaYesu Kristu) nomoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo ngokubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele (uvuko lukaYesu Kristu).
Inkqubo yongcwaliso
KuYesu Kristu, wenziwa ngcwele, walungisa. Wahluliwe kweli hlabathi wamiselwa uThixo ngoko ke ungokaThixo noBukumkani bakhe. Ube ngunyana kaThixo kwaye unikwe uMoya oyiNgcwele.
UMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kuwe kwinzaliseko yakhe. Ngoko ke, ninawo onke amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele okubulala zonke izenzo zenyama.
Kuba, ukuba niphila ngokwenyama, ewe uya kufa: kodwa ukuba niyazibulala ngoMoya, zife iintlondi zomzimba, niya kuphila (AmaRoma 8:13)
Ukonakalisa izenzo zenyama kukwabizwa ngokuba yinkqubo yokungcwaliswa. Ikholwa ngalinye kufuneka lidlule kule nkqubo kwaye liya kungcwaliswa liLizwi kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele.
Yintoni umqondiso wolwaluko kuYesu Kristu?
Ukwaluka kuYesu Kristu kuthetha, ukuba ulalise ixhego. Wafa kwisono ngoYesu Kristu. ngoko anisayi kuba sahamba ngokwenyama;. Nenziwa ngcwele nangamalungisa kuye.
Uya kuyenza hlaziya ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi likaThixo ukuze ingqondo yakho yenyama kunye nendlela yakho endala yokucinga, lowo ucinga njengehlabathi, iya kuhlaziywa ngamazwi kaThixo kwaye ihambelane nentando kaThixo.
Uya kukwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo nemithetho yakhe. Kwaye xa ukholelwa emazwini akhe, nohamba kuzo.
Niya kuhamba ngemithetho yakhe, ezimele intando yakhe kwaye zihambe emva koMoya.
Obu bubungqina, umqondiso, ngolwaluko lwenu kuKristu Yesu.
Ukuhamba kwakho kunye nokuthobela kwakho iLizwi kubonisa ukuba walukile kuYesu Kristu.
Kukho nawuphi na umntu owabizwa engowalukileyo?? Makangazenzi ongalukileyo. Kukho nawuphi na umntu owabizwa engalukanga? makangaluki. Ulwaluko aluyonto, nokungaluki oku akunto, kodwa kukugcina imiyalelo kaThixo. (1 KwabaseKorinte 7:18-19)
Amakholwa; ibandla likaThixo, zezo, abolukileyo kuYesu Kristu:
Zilumkeleni izinja, balumkeleni abenzi bobubi, kulumkele ukunqunyulwa. Kuba thina silulwaluko, abo banqula uThixo ngoMoya, niqhayise kuKristu Yesu, kwaye musani ukukholosa ngenyama (KwabaseFilipi 3:2-3)
Xa waluswe ngokwenene kuYesu Kristu, nihambe ngemithetho yakhe, niyithwale isiqhamo soMoya endaweni yesiqhamo senyama.
Imisebenzi oyenzayo kunye nesiqhamo osithwalayo siya kubonisa ukuba ngokwenene uyilahlile inyama yakho; imvelo yenu yesono, nalùswe kuKristu Yesu.
