Yintoni eyabaseKolose 4:6 thetha, Intetho yakho mayihlale ihleli ngobabalo, inamazwe ngetyuwa, ukuze nazi ukuba nimelwe kukuphendula yonke into.
Ngaba intetho yakho ngobabalo?
Kwinqaku elidlulileyo, i ukuhamba kwabangcwele kwaxoxwa. Ukuhamba kwabangcwele akuqulathanga ukuziphatha kunye nemisebenzi kuphela, kodwa kwanentetho; amagama, ezithethiweyo. Ngawaphi amagama aphuma emlonyeni wakho? Ngaba intetho yakho ngobabalo, inamazwe ngetyuwa?
Xa abantu bethetha ngentetho enobabalo, amaxesha amaninzi bacinga ngohlobo lwentetho ekholisa abantu. Abantu bayawathanda amazwi owathethayo, ngokuba kumnandi ukuva, bathanda ukuweva la mazwi.
Kodwa ngaba iBhayibhile ikwathetha oku ngentetho enobabalo enongwe ngetyuwa?
Yintoni intetho enobabalo enongwe ngetyuwa ngokwebhayibhile?
Intetho enobabalo enongwe ngetyuwa isuka kwintliziyo ehlaziyiweyo nokuqonda indalo entsha kwaye iqulethe inyaniso, ulwazi nobulumko bukaThixo, kwaye uyakwazi ukuphendula wonke umntu.
Intetho enobabalo ithetha amazwi obabalo. Intetho enobabalo iguqulelwe kwigama lesiGrike elithi ‘logos’ (G3056) elithetha igama, kunye 'necharis’ (G5485) oko kukuthi (kwi.) ubabalo.
Intetho enobubele iqulathe amazwi angumoya nobomi kwaye inika wonke umntu oko akudingayo.
UYesu wathetha amazwi obabalo
KuLuka 4:22, sifunda ukuba uYesu wathetha amazwi obabalo. Ngoko ke, UYesu’ intetho ibe lubabalo. Kodwa wayengubani uYesu’ intetho ngobabalo?
Kaloku xa sijonga abantu, ngubani owathetha la mazwi, sifunda ukuba yayingabantu abafanayo, owamkhuphayo uYesu endlwini yesikhungu nasemzini, efuna ukumjula endulini. Kodwa uYesu wasinda kwingqumbo nomsindo wabo, eziphembelela ukubulala.
Yayiyimpembelelo kaYesu leyo’ amazwi obabalo, agalelwe ityuwa.
Esi sisiphumo samazwi kaThixo obabalo kubomi obonakeleyo babantu, abazahlukanisiweyo noThixo. Ngelixa aba bantu yayingabantu bonqulo, ababekwindlu yesikhungu besenza okulungileyo njengabantwana bakaThixo.
Abantu banokusebenza ngokwenkolo kwaye baye ecaweni kwaye banokumiselwa njengenkokeli ebandleni, kodwa oko akungqini ukuba bakhona uzelwe ngokutsha kwaye yeyakho.
Amazwi obabalo, awawathethayo uYesu wavela kuYise, yayingengomazwi abantu ababefuna ukuweva. Hayi, la mazwi ebengemnandanga kumntu wonke.
UYesu’ amazwi obabalo akazange aveze uthando noxolo kwindlu yesikhungu, kodwa ingqumbo nengqumbo, nto leyo eyakhokelela kumalinge okubulala.
Ngaphakathi iTestamente eNdala sifunda nokuba amazwi kaThixo ayengasoloko engamazwi abantu benyama ababefuna ukuweva.
Amazwi kaThixo akasoloko ethandeka kubantu benyama
UThixo ulungile, unobabalo kwaye uzele yinceba kwaye amazwi aKhe amele ubume bakhe kunye nokuba ungubani na.
KwiTestamente eNdala, sifunda ngabantu abaninzi bendlu kaSirayeli, abasindisiweyo nguThixo nabathe uThixo walutyhila kubo uthando lwakhe, ubukhulu, kunye nokhuseleko, ngelizwi lakhe nangemiqondiso nezimanga ezininzi, kodwa akazange awacingele amazwi kaThixo anobubele nothando, kodwa kunokuba ngumqobo kwintando, Inkanuko kunye nomnqweno wenyama, apho abazange bathobele Umthetho kaMoses, kodwa bagwilika
UThixo wayefuna abantu bakhe bamthande kwaye bamgqale njengoThixo wabo kwaye bathembele elizwini lakhe. Wayefuna ukuba abantu bakhe bafumane ukuqonda ngamazwi akhe, kwaye uthethe amazwi akhe, wenze ngokwelizwi lakhe, kwaye uqhubeke Imithetho yakhe.
Kodwa ekubeni imvelaphi yamazwi kaThixo yayiyeyomoya (evela kwingqondo kaThixo kwaye iqulathe ubulumko bakhe nolwazi lwakhe) kwaye abantu babengabenyama, amazwi kaThixo achasene nengqiqo yemvelo, ulwazi lomntu, ubulumko, ingqiqo kunye nengqiqo, apho abantu babengasoloko bekholelwa kuThixo kwaye bamthemba kwaye bethobela amazwi aKhe. Ngaphendle koba, ukuthetha amazwi aKhe.
Ilizwi likaThixo lobabalo laliwa ngabantu abaninzi
Amazwi kaThixo othando, owabakhululayo oonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa, wabagcina entlango, kwaye wabakhokelela kwilizwe ledinga, abazange bakholelwe kwaye bathobela, kodwa yaliwe. Ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo phantse sonke isizukulwana asizange singene kwilizwe ledinga.
Nditsho nabaprofeti, athe uThixo wabanyula, onyuliweyo, kwaye wathumela, kwaye wathetha amazwi kaThixo ngokungafihlisiyo, babengasoloko bethandwa yaye bamkelwa ngabantu. Ubukhulu becala oko kwakubangelwa kukuba amazwi abo ayengasoloko evisisana noko abantu babefuna ukukuva.
Nangona amazwi abo ayenobubele yaye enika ithemba emehlweni kaThixo, ngokuba amazwi abo aphendula imibuzo yabantu, anika abantu oko babekufuna, kwaye iqulathe isisombululo (iyeza) kunye nendlela yokuphuma ebantwini, amazwi abo ayengasoloko egqalwa njengamazwi obabalo, ithemba, kunye nosindiso, kodwa njengobubi, enobutshaba, nzima, kwaye engapheliyo.
Yiyo loo nto abaprofeti abaninzi, Ngubani othunyelwe nguThixo, babulawa.
NoYesu wathetha ngaloo ndlela kumzekeliso wabasebenzi-zidiliya abangendawo. (UMateyu 21:33-45; Phawula 12:1-12; ULuka 20:9-19).
Kwaye ngalo lonke elo xesha, akukho nto itshintshileyo. Amazwi kaThixo asakhokelela rhoqo kwintshutshiso.
Ukulunga kukaThixo namazwi akhe obabalo, ezibizela enguqukweni nasekuguqukeni kobomi, zinike usindiso nobomi kuye wonke umntu, Ngubani okholwayo, Ubagcine abantu ebubini nasebubini, azisoloko zijongwa njengento emnandi, kodwa njengezothe, abangenaluthando, ukuphazamiseka, kunye nokugweba.
AmaKristu athetha amazwi kaYesu, evela kuBawo
NamaKristu, abathe bagqiba ekubeni bancame ubomi babo kwaye landela uYesu kwaye uthethe amazwi akhe (evela kuBawo) baya kufumana intshutshiso.
Ngokholo nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu bazalwa nguThixo. Banemvelo kaThixo kwaye nge Ukuhlaziywa kweengqondo zabo ngeLizwi baya kuthetha amazwi afanayo nanjengoYise wabo. NjengoYesu, owathetha amazwi kaYise kwaye wenza imisebenzi Yakhe. (Owu. UYohane 5:20-30; 8:17-59; 10:32-38; 14:23-31; 17:14-19).
Umntwana kaThixo akaze aphikise kwaye awohlwaye amazwi kaThixo okanye asebenzise amazwi kaThixo ukwamkela isono (imvukelo nokungamthobeli uThixo).
Kodwa umntwana kaThixo uyazithoba kuYise kwaye uyakholwa, ukuthobela, kwaye ngaba amazwi akhe.
Amazwi kaThixo athembekile kwaye avelisa ubomi kubomi babantu, abazithobayo kuThixo, bakholwa, bakholwa thobela amazwi akhe.
Amazwi kaThixo akawukholisi umzimba, kodwa uyabulala (inkanuko kunye neminqweno) inyama kwaye yenze umntu womoya akhule.
Amazwi kaThixo ayinyaniso kwaye akhalimela (ichanekile), I-Admonish, ugwebe umntu (Owu. INdumiso 94:12; IMizekeliso 3:11-12; 7:1-2; UYeremiya 23:29; UYohane 5:22-27; 12:44-50, Hebhere 12:5-10).
IBhayibhile ithi, ukuba amazwi kaThixo akhawuleza, inamandla, libukhali ngaphezu kwamakrele onke antlangothi mbini, Ukubhoboza nasekuzalweni komphefumlo nommoya, kunye namalungu kunye nomongo, kwaye licebo leengcinga kunye neenjongo zentliziyo (Hebhere 4:12).
Ngaba amazwi kaThixo asaqulathe ubomi namandla?
Amazwi kaThixo asafana kwaye anobomi obufanayo namandla, ithemba kunye nesiphumo kubomi babantu. Ngoko ke intetho yamaKristu, abathetha amazwi kaThixo, uya kuba nobabalo, inamazwe ngetyuwa, ukuze bakwazi ukuphendula bonke abantu.
Kubhaliwe, ukuba sonke isibhalo siphefumlelwe nguThixo nje, sikwancedela ukufundisa, ngenxa yokohlwaywa, ukulungisa, Ngqeqesho ebulungiseni: Loo mntu kaThixo (Indoda nebhinqa) Ingagqibelela, Ngokuhlwayo inikezele kuyo yonke imisebenzi elungileyo (2 uTimoti 3:16-17)
Kodwa njengokuba uThixo neLizwi lakhe bengatshintshanga, nehlabathi alitshintshanga.
Ihlabathi alikakwazi ukuva nokuthwala amazwi angamaKristu angalalanisiyo nangangxengwanga, evela kuThixo.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba abantu abaninzi ngakumbi bayamlahla uThixo kunye neLizwi lakhe kwaye bangabakhe (umlawuli we) ihlabathi kwaye uhlale usenyameni kwaye ungahlaziyi, inani elandayo labantu aliwagqali njengakhayo amazwi aseBhayibhileni, ndiyanethemba, amazwi akhuthazayo nalungileyo angawomoya, inyani, kwaye iqulathe ubomi namandla kaThixo, kodwa njengamazwi akruqulayo, angenalusini, engalunganga, Ukujongana, ekhubekisayo, kunye nokugweba.
Ngenxa yokwanda kokuxhathisa kwehlabathi, ezininzi AmaKristu ayathula kunye nokulalanisa. Bathetha into abafuna ukuyiva abantu, apho intetho yabo ingenamandla kwaye ingasebenzi kwaye ingazisi naluphi na utshintsho, kodwa buphembelela ububi.
Bathetha oko bafuna ukukuva abantu baze benze oko kufunwa ngabantu, oko ikukuthi, akukho siphazamiso kubomi babo, ethe cwaka, kwaye mabaqhubeke nezono zabo.
Ngaba amaKristu anobuganga bokwahluka?
Abantu abaninzi, abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu, andisafuni kwahluka. Abafuni ukuzahlula kwaye bazive belahliwe kwaye begwetyiwe luluntu, kodwa bafuna ukuthandwa, ukungena, kwaye ujoyine ihlabathi.
Ambalwa amaKristu, abawaziyo amazwi nentando kaThixo ngokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele Ukuhlaziywa kweengqondo zabo ngegama. Ngaphendle koba, Yiba nobuganga bokuthetha amazwi kaThixo ngenkalipho.
Ngenxa yoko, ayimaninzi amaKristu axhotyisiweyo ngokomoya nakwaziyo ukuphendula imibuzo yabantu neemfuno zabo, kwaye uphikise ulwazi lwabo lwasemhlabeni nobulumko ngamazwi kaThixo, ezibhaliweyo eBhayibhileni. Amazwi abo akasekho lubabalo, enongwe ngetyuwa, kodwa engenamoya kwaye engenamandla.
AmaKristu afanele abe yityuwa yehlabathi, kodwa abaninzi abaseyiyo ityuwa yehlabathi. Ityiwa iye yaphelelwa sisongo namandla, yaza yaphelelwa ngamandla kuThixo.
MaKristu avuke avuke abuyele eLizwini
Ngoko ke, lixesha lokuba amaKristu avuke avuke abuyele eLizwini. Lixesha lokufunda iBhayibhile ngoMoya kwaye ukholwe kwaye uthobele amazwi kaThixo.
Amazwi kaThixo mawabangele amaKristu ukuba abuye aze aqhelane kwakhona namazwi nentando kaThixo, kwaye uqhubeke imiyalelo kaYesu uthethe, uwenze amazwi akhe.
Ukuba amaKristu ayabuya azalwe ngokutsha aze ahlaziye ingqondo yawo ngeLizwi aze azalise iintliziyo zawo ngamazwi kaThixo aze akholwe ukuba amazwi kaThixo ayinyaniso nobomi., kwaye ziphethe indlela yokuphuma yokuba wonke umntu akhululwe emandleni obumnyama aze abuyiselwe (ukuphiliswa) wubaleke umgwebo kaThixo, baya kuthi (ngoMoya nangokwazi iLizwi) ukwazi ukuphendula wonke umntu.
Ukuba umamkeli uxabisa, uyakholwa, kwaye uyayamkela impendulo ixhomekeke kubo hayi kumaKristu. Akukho mntu unokunyanzela omnye umntu ukuba akholelwe aze aguquke.
Xa kufika imini yokuba ume phambi kwetrone kaThixo, awuyi kuphenduliswa nguThixo ngento eyenziwe ngabanye ngamazwi akho. Kodwa uya kuphendula ngento oyenzileyo nongayithethanga kunye nento oyenzileyo nongayenzanga (Owu. UMateyu 12:36-37, AmaRoma 14:10, 2 uTimoti 4:1; ISityhilelo 20:11-15).
