Kule mihla, iMithetho Elishumi, awathi uThixo wamnika uMoses, zidla ngokujongwa njengobubi nomthwalo onzima. AmaKristu amaninzi ayithatha iMithetho Elishumi kaThixo njengomthetho nobukhoboka. Kwaye ekubeni amaKristu ekhululwe kuMthetho kwaye aphila phantsi kobabalo, amaKristu amaninzi akafuni kwanto yakwenza neMithetho eliShumi neminye (isimilo) imiyalelo kaThixo kwaye bayigatya. Kodwa kutheni amaKristu, abazelwe nguThixo ngokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, bachase iMithetho Elishumi? Yintoni Okungendawo ngeMiyalelo Elishumi kaThixo?
Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo anike uMoses iMithetho Elishumi
Ukufumanisa, kutheni le Mithetho Elishumi imbi kangaka, kufuneka siye kwimvelaphi yeMithetho eliShumi kaThixo.
Emva kokuba uThixo ekhulule abantu bakhe ebukhobokeni waza wabakhupha eYiputa, UThixo wenza uMnqophiso nabantu bakhe. Abantu bangena eMnqophisweni, ngokuvuma ukuba baya kuliva ilizwi leNkosi.
UThixo wabhala iMithetho Elishumi amacwecwe amatye amabini. Wanika uMoses amacwecwe amabini amatye aneMithetho Elishumi. Abantu bakwaSirayeli kwakufuneka bagcine iMithetho Elishumi kaThixo.
IMithetho Elishumi yayiyinxalenye yoMthetho kaMoses. Zazimiselwe (inyama ye) umntu owileyo, obanjwe yinyama enesono, nomoya wakhe uphantsi kwegunya lokufa.
IMithetho Elishumi ivela kuMoya kaThixo, ukusuka kwindalo Yakhe, kwaye imele intando yaKhe (iwile)indoda.
Yayililizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo, oko kwakuthetha ukuba ngumkhokeli wabantu baKhe. Yayisenzelwa ukuzahlula kwiintlanga zabahedeni, ukuhamba ngobulungisa nokuphila ngcwele njengabantu bakaThixo emhlabeni. Ngokuthobela ilizwi likaThixo, babengameleli nje uThixo wabo kuphela. Kambe ke zayizukisa zaza zayiphakamisa iNkosi yazo uThixo, uSomandla, uMdali wezulu nomhlaba kwaye konke okuphakathi.
IMithetho Elishumi yayingengobubi, kodwa kuhle. Kuba uThixo elungile, kwaye ubafunela okuhle abantwana Bakhe.
UThixo uyayazi imithetho yomoya. Ngenxa yokuba uThixo wabadala waza wazenza.
Ngokuphuma kokulunga kwaKhe, UThixo wanika abantwana bakhe iMithetho eliShumi. IMithetho Elishumi yayiza kubagcina ebubini kwaye intlekele, uvelise ubomi, kwaye ubakhokelele kwilizwe ledinga nakubomi obungunaphakade.
Ingxaki, ezithintela abantu ukuba bathobele iMithetho Elishumi
Kodwa kwakukho ingxaki enye, ezithintela abantu ukuba bathobele iMithetho eliShumi kaThixo. Leyo yayiyinyama enesono yabantu bakaThixo.
Inyama enesono yomntu yayingafuni ukuzithoba kuThixo nokuthobela ilizwi laKhe. Kodwa inyama enesono yamvukela uThixo, ILizwi lakhe, nomoya wakhe.
Leyo yindalo yomntu owileyo, ophila phantsi kwegunya likaMtyholi, isono, nokufa emnyameni.
Umntu owileyo akazange afune ukuzithoba kuThixo ongabonakaliyo.
Umntu owileyo akazange afune ukuzahlula kwiiNtlanga kunye neenkcubeko zabo (Umhlaba). Kodwa umntu owileyo wayefuna ukuphila njengeeNtlanga aze akhonze oothixo bazo.
Kunjalo nje, umntu owileyo akafuni ukuzithoba kulo naliphi na igunya. Nokuba nguThixo, abazali, ootitshala, abaqeshi, okanye iinkokeli, umntu owileyo ufuna ukuba nguthixo wobomi bakhe azenzele ezakhe izigqibo ahambe ngendlela yakhe.
Indoda ewileyo inekratshi, ukuzingca, ukuxoka, ekhohlisayo, engathembekanga, iyinqambi, ububi, okrexezayo, umaphuli womnqophiso, kwaye uyeba, uyazonda, kunye nokubulala.
Leyo yayiyindalo yomntu owileyo kwaye iseyiyo, onesimo sikayise, i UMtyholi.
Abantu babenenkululeko yokuzikhethela ukwenza isigqibo sokuthobela okanye sokungayithobeli iMithetho Elishumi
UThixo watyhila ubume nentando yakhe kumntu owileyo, othe wamfamekiswa yingqiqo yakhe ngokwasenyameni, ngumphathi wehlabathi, ehleli ebumnyameni.
UThixo wazityhila ngelizwi lakhe kwaye wanika abantu ukhetho. Abantu babenokukholwa kuThixo baze bathobele amazwi Akhe baze bagcine imiyalelo Yakhe baze baphile kwintando yakhe, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekukhuselweni, impumelelo, kunye nobomi. Okanye abantu babengamkholelwa uThixo baze bangawathobeli amazwi akhe, bayigatye imithetho yakhe, kwaye siphile ngaphandle kwentando yaKhe emva kwentando yenyama, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno, nto leyo eyakhokelela kwinkohlakalo nokufa.
Abantu babenokuzikhethela. Babengenakuze bazuze nto okanye bohlwaywe ngento ethile bengazi.
Yeyiphi iMithetho Elishumi kaThixo?
IMithetho Elishumi, awathi uThixo wamnika uMoses entabeni yeSinayi:
- Awuyi kuba nalunye wumbi phambi kwam.
- Uze ungakwenzi na umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, okanye nakuphi na ukubonakala kwayo nayiphi na into esezulwini phezulu, okanye esemhlabeni phantsi, Okanye kusemanzi phantsi komhlaba: Awuyi kuqubuda kubo, okanye ubakhonze: kuba uYehova uThixo wakho ndinguThixo onekhwele, Ukundwendwela ubugwenxa boyise kubantwana, ukuya kwesine isizukulwana sabo bandithiyayo; Kwaye ibeka inceba amawaka abo bandithandayo, kwaye gcina imiyalelo yam.
- Ungalithathi igama likaYehova uThixo wakho; Kuba iNkosi ayiyi kubamba le nto ingenatyala igama lakhe,.
- Khumbula uSuku lweSabatha, ukuyigcina ingcwele. Uya kusebenza imihla emithandathu, kwaye wenze wonke umsebenzi wakho: Ke yena umhla wesixhenxe uyisabatha kaYehova uThixo wakho: akuyi kwenza nawuphi na umsebenzi, wena, nonyana wakho, nentombi yakho, I-dunforva yakho, Nomkhonzi wakho, Neenkomo zakho, Nomzi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho: Ngeentsuku ezintandathu uYehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, ulwandle, Kwaye konke okukuyo, kwaye waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe: Kungoko uYehova wawusikelela umhla wesabatha, kwaye uyingcwalisayo.
- Beka uyihlo nonyoko: ukuze mihla yakho ide likwele emhlabeni akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho.
- Awuyi kubulala.
- Uze ungakrexezi.
- Uze ungabi.
- Uze ungangqini ubungqina obubuxoki ngommelwane wakho.
- Uze ungayinqweneli indlu yommelwane wakho, uze ungayinqweneli umfazi wommelwane wakho, nendoda yakhenga yakhe, kwaye ababakhonzayo, nenkomo yakhe, neesile lakhe, nento na yommelwane wakho (iEksodus 20:1-17)
Imbonakalo kaThixo
Bonke abantu bazibona iindudumo, kunye nemibane, nesandi sesigodlo, nentaba iqhuma: bakubona abantu, basusa, wema mgama. Bathi kuMoses, Thetha nathi, kwaye siya kuva: makangathethi nathi uThixo, Hleze sife.” Wathi uMoses ebantwini, Musa ukoyika: kuba uThixo uze kunilinga, kwaye ukumoyika kwakhe kube phambi kobuso benu, ukuba ningoni. Abantu bamela kude, Wasondela uMoses esithokothokweni abekuso uThixo. (iEksodus 20:18)
Ngaba uThixo wayeboyikisa abantu? Hayi, UThixo wazityhila kunye nobukhulu baKhe namandla angawo onke kummandla wendalo kumntu wendalo, ongowenamoya. Lo nto, bebeya kumoyika uYehova uThixo, bayigcine imithetho yakhe, bangoni.
IMithetho eliShumi yayibakhusela abantu ekubeni baphile ubomi obungcolileyo njengeeNtlanga, ababephila ngokuvukela uThixo.
Indoda ewileyo yayigqala iMithetho Elishumi njengengendawo
Ungacinga, ukuba abantu bakaThixo babeyigqala iMithetho Elishumi njengentsikelelo. Ukuba babeza kuzala luvuyo ngelizwi awalithumelayo uThixo uSomandla waza wazidibanisa nabantu bakhe. Kodwa kwakungenjalo.
Phantse sonke isizukulwana, abakhululwa kuFaro baza baphila phantsi kolawulo lwakhe ebukhobokeni, baqwalasela iMithetho Elishumi kaThixo neminye imithetho yokuziphatha ababeyinikwe nguThixo, ingabi njengelungileyo, kodwa imbi, ingumthwalo onzima.
Kwakutheni ukuze bajonge iMithetho Elishumi njengobubi nomthwalo onzima? Ngokuba imithetho kaThixo yabavimba, ukuba bangenzi ukuthanda kwenyama, bangaphili ngokweenkanuko nenkanuko yenyama, ekukhonzeni izithixo., ukukrexeza, ubungendawo, nobunqambi.
Nge ukungamthobeli uThixo, phantse sonke isizukulwana safela entlango kwaye asizange singene kwilizwe ledinga, ngaphandle koYoshuwa noKalebhi.
UYoshuwa noKalebhi bakholwa baza bathembela kuThixo nakubukhulu bakhe. Babemhlonela uYehova uThixo, ababeyigcina ngayo imithetho yakhe. Ngokuthobela kwabo uThixo, bangena elizweni, ukuba uThixo wabathembisa. Kunye nesizukulwana esitsha, balingena ilizwe, balihlutha ilizwe elo.
Ngaba iMithetho Elishumi iyasebenza kuMnqophiso Omtsha?
SENZA ke ngoko, siyawuthambisa umthetho ngokholo? Makube lee oko: ewe, Simamela umthetho (AmaRoma 3:31)
Ukuthanda kukaThixo akutshintshanga kwaye akusayi kutshintsha. Wathi uYesu, ukuba engezanga kuchitha uMthetho, kodwa kukuwugcina umthetho. Ekubeni imithetho yokuziphatha yoMthetho imela ukuthanda kukaThixo, imithetho yokuziphatha kaThixo ayisayi kutshintsha kwaye iya kuhlala isebenza, nakumnqophiso omtsha.
Umahluko kuphela kumnqophiso omtsha, ukuba uThixo akasasebenzi nabantu benyama, abaphila kwimo ewileyo bahlulwe kuThixo kwaye bebanjelwe enyameni enesono kwaye banemvelo yomtyholi, kodwa ngako ukuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, UThixo usebenza nabantu bomoya, abathe babuyiselwa kuKristu kwisikhundla sabo baza baxolelaniswa noThixo baza bakhululwa enyameni enesono, Ngokusweleka kwenyama kunye novuko loMoya ekufeni (ubhaptizo), kunye nokunganyaniseki kuMoya oyiNgcwele.
Umntu omtsha unendalo kaThixo nangokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele, imiyalelo nemithetho kaThixo, ezilawula kuBukumkani bukaThixo, zibhalwe engqondweni nasentliziyweni yomntu omtsha (UYeremiya 31:33-34, Hebhere 8:10-13; 10:16-18).
Ngokutshintsha kwendalo, umntu uyakwazi ukugcina imiyalelo kaThixo noYesu Krestu aze azalisekise intando kaThixo ebomini bakhe.
Indoda entsha igqala iMithetho Elishumi njengesiqhelo endaweni yobubi kunye nomthwalo onzima. Kungenxa yokuba indalo yomntu itshintshile. Umntu akasalawulwa yinyama kodwa nguMoya. Umntu akaphili ngokwenyama kodwa uphila ngokoMoya.
Ukuthanda kukaThixo kuye kwaba kukuthanda komntu omtsha
Yeha, abathi okubi kulungile!, kwaye okulungileyo kubi; abamisa ubumnyama endaweni yokukhanya, nokukhanya endaweni yobumnyama; ebeka ubukrakra endaweni yoswiti, neswiti endaweni ekrakra! (uIsaya 5:20)
Ngokungafaniyo nomntu omtsha, ogqala iMithetho eliShumi njengelungileyo, ixhego lisayigqala njengemibi iMithetho Elishumi, ngokomthetho, kunye nomthwalo onzima kwaye uyala ukuzithoba.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba zininzi iinkokeli ezinganyanisekanga ebandleni, abasele bebadala kwaye banengqondo yenyama, iimfundiso ezininzi zobuxoki (iimfundiso zeedemon), kwavela izinto ezibonakala ngathi zezenkolo, kodwa eneneni, ivela kumtyholi. Ekubeni ezi mfundiso ziziphakamisa ngaphezu koThixo kunye neLizwi lakhe kwaye ziyachasa intando kaThixo.
Ezi mfundiso zobuxoki ziye zeyisela abantu abaninzi ukuba iMithetho Elishumi ingendawo, ngokomthetho, iphelelwe lixesha, kwaye ayisasebenzi namhlanje. (Funda kwakhona: Iimfundiso zeedemon ziyalibulala ibandla).
Kanye njengakuMyezo wase-Eden, inyoka eyonakeleyo yamlinga uEva yaza yameyisela, ukuba umthetho olungileyo kaThixo, Ngubani owayebathanda kwaye ebafunela okona kulungileyo, yayingalunganga kodwa yayimbi.
Umyalelo omkhulu
Inkosi, wona lowo ngumthetho omkhulu emthethweni? UYesu wathi kuye, Uze umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, Kwaye ngengqondo yakho yonke. Lo ngumyalelo wokuqala kunye nomkhulu. Kwaye owesibini ufana nawo, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. Kule mithetho yomibini kuxhomekeke umyalelo uphela nabaprofeti (UMateyu 22:36-40)
Kuba amaKristu amaninzi akazalwa ngokutsha kwaye/okanye akanabo ubudlelwane noYesu noYise ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye akathandazi kwaye akafundi kwaye azifundisise ngokwazo iBhayibhile., kodwa uthembele kumazwi abantu ‘abafundileyo, bakholelwa kubuxoki bomtyholi yaye bayigqala iMithetho Elishumi njengengendawo, ngokomthetho, umthwalo onzima, kwaye iphelelwe lixesha,
Umzekelo, bathi iMithetho Elishumi ayisasebenzi, kuba amaKristu kufuneka agcine kuphela imiyalelo emibini emikhulu, ezizi, ‘Uze umthande uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke’ yaye ‘Uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu’. Ilungile lo nto, kodwa uYesu wathetha enye into.
Wathi uYesu, ukuba umthetho nabaprofeti bajinga phezu kwale mithetho yomibini. Ngoko ke, iMithetho eliShumi nayo yonke eminye (isimilo) imiyalelo kaThixo namazwi kaThixo, ezathethwa ngabaprofeti, bambelela kule mithetho yomibini. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke? Kwaye Kunini na umthanda ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu?)
Yintoni Okungendawo ngeMiyalelo Elishumi kaThixo?
Kodwa yintoni embi kangaka ngeMithetho Elishumi? Mamaxesha amaninzi, abantu beva into kwabanye kwaye bayikhuphele ngokuzenzekelayo, kuba ivakala ingcwele okanye ipholile, kunye nelangoku, engazi ukuba bathini kanye kanye.
- Kuba yintoni embi ngokuthanda uThixo, ngentliziyo yakho yonke, umphefumlo, ingqondo, kunye namandla? Nize nizukise iGama laKhe nize niyikhumbule imini yeNkosi?
- Yintoni embi kangaka ngokukhwebuka kunqulo-zithixo??
- Kutheni kubi ngabantwana ukubanika imbeko abazali babo nokubaphulaphula nokubathobela?
- Yintoni embi kangaka ngokuthetha inyani?
- Yintoni embi ngokuhlala uthembekile kwiqabane lakho?
- Yintoni embi ngokuhlala uthembekile kumnqophiso womtshato owungenisileyo?
- Yintoni embi kangaka ngokungabulali abantu, kodwa ubayeke baphile?
- Yintoni embi kakhulu malunga nokungaba kwaye ugcine isandla sakho kwizinto zabanye abantu?
- Yintoni embi kangaka yokwaneliswa yiloo nto unayo endaweni yokunqwenela izinto zommelwane wakho?
Ndixelele, yintoni embi kangaka ngazo zonke ezi zinto?
Ngubani ojonga iMithetho Elishumi njengobubi?
Zonke ezo zinto zibonakala zimbi kwabangendawo, abangendawo nabangabakaMtyholi nehlabathi. Ngenxa yokuba abamthandi uThixo, kodwa bazithanda ngaphezu kwayo yonke into kwaye bafuna ukwenza iminqweno yabo yenyama. Abafuni ukumamela nokuzithoba kuThixo, okanye abazali, okanye naliphi na elinye igunya.
Banekratshi, nemvukelo, kunye nomona. Bafuna ukuxoka, yenza ububi, bakhonze abanye oothixo, baze babandakanyeke kwiinkonzo zobuhedeni nakukusebenzelana nemimoya. Bafuna ukuhlala (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki, nihenyuze, zibophelele ukukrexeza, inkanuko, ukuba, intiyo, kwaye ubulale. Kuba zonke ezi zinto zikho kwindalo yazo; imvelo yesono endala yomntu owileyo. (Funda kwakhona: Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo atsho, Uze ungayi… noYesu, Uya kwenjenjalo…?).
Ngoko ke, ezo, abathi bayakholwa kodwa bengabesizukulwana somntu owileyo, iya kuyigqala iMithetho Elishumi njengembi, ngokomthetho, kunye nomthwalo onzima.
Baya kuthi, ukuba iMithetho Elishumi kaThixo ingendawo, ngokomthetho, kwaye iphelelwe lixesha.
Kuba kungenjalo, abanako ukwenza intando, iinkanuko, kwanenkanuko yenyama kwakhona. Abanako ukwenza ububi kwaye bahlale (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki, unqulo-zithixo, imvukelo, ubutshaba, ukungaxoleli, ukunxila, ubudlakudla, njl. kodwa kufuneka bayilahle imisebenzi yenyama abayithanda kakhulu. Kwaye abafuni ukwenza oko. (Funda kwakhona: Indlela yokulahla ixhego?).
Kodwa abo, abathi bayakholelwa kwaye bengabesizukulwana somntu omtsha baya kujonga iMithetho eliShumi njengeqhelekileyo kwaye icacile.
Baya kuyigqala iMithetho Elishumi njengelungileyo baze bayenze ngokwemvelo, kuba uThixo ulungile kwaye bazelwe nguye kwaye banemvelo yakhe, kwaye bamthande ngentliziyo yabo yonke, umphefumlo, ingqondo namandla kunye nommelwane njengoko bezithanda (1 UYohane 3).
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
