KuYohane 9:39, Wathi uYesu, kuba ndizele ugwebo kweli hlabathi, ukuze abangaboniyo babone, bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama. Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngaloo nto? Kuba uYesu watshoyo ngaphambili, ukuba akezi ehlabathini ukuba agwebe. Kuba umgwebo lowo weza ngawo uYesu kweli hlabathi?
Indoda eyimfama, owathi wabuya wabona, wakholwa kuYesu Kristu
Weva uYesu ukuba amkhuphele ngaphandle; wathi akuba emfumene, Wathi kuye, Uyakholwa na kuNyana kaThixo?? Waphendula wathi, Ngubani, Nkosi, ukuze ndikholwe kuYe? Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Umbonile nobabini, kwaye nguye lo uthetha nawe. Watsho, Nkosi, Ndiyakholwa Waze waMnqula (UYohane 9:35-39)
Emva kwendoda eyimfama, owaphiliswa nguYesu wabuya wabona, wakhutshelwa ngaphandle kwendlu yesikhungu ngenxa yobungqina bakhe, UYesu weza kuye. UYesu weva ukuba bamkhuphele ngaphandle kwendlu yesikhungu waza waphuma waya kumkhangela. (Funda kwakhona: Mangaphi amaKrestu athuleyo ukuhlala enkonzweni?).
Xa uYesu wamfumana, UYesu wayibuza le ndoda ukuba iyakholelwa na kuNyana kaThixo. Indoda yabuza uYesu, wayengubani uNyana kaThixo, ukuze akholwe kuye.
Wathi uYesu kwindoda, nokuba wambona uNyana kaThixo, nokuba Yena, owathetha naye, wayenguNyana kaThixo. Indoda leyo yawakholelwa amazwi kaYesu yaza yamnqula.
Yeyiphi na umgwebo owayayo uYesu ehlabathini?
UYesu wathi wayezele umgwebo kweli hlabathi, ukuze ba, ababoni kwaye bakhona (ngokomoya) ukungaboni, unokubona kunye nezo, ngubani obonayo (abacinga ukuba bayabona) yiba yimfama.
Watsho njalo uYesu, Mna ndizele ugwebo kweli hlabathi, ukuze abangaboniyo babone; bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama (UYohane 9:39)
Ukuze siqonde oko kwakuthethwa nguYesu ngaloo nto, kufuneka sibuyele kuMyezo wase-Eden apho umntu wawa kwisikhundla sakhe ngokungathobeli uThixo waza wahlukana noThixo., kuba umoya osemntwini ufile. Ukususela ekwindla, ihlabathi lilele ebumnyameni kwaye ubungendawo bulawula, kwaye wonke umntu uzalwa engomoni kwaye engowobumnyama (Umhlaba).
Nangona uThixo wayenyule abantu phakathi kwezizwe zonke emhlabeni waza wabanika umthetho nabaprofeti ukuba bazityhile (Indalo yakhe) nentando Yakhe kubantu Bakhe nokunika imiyalelo nemiyalelo ebantwini Bakhe, ukuze abantu bakhe bazahlule kulo ihlabathi (ubumnyama) kwaye uhambe ekuthandeni kwakhe kwaye wamkele ubomi, abaninzi babanyuliweyo bakhe abazange bafune ukumamela uThixo baza bamgatya uThixo.
Abantu bakaThixo bamkhanyela uThixo ngokugatya umthetho nabaprofeti. Ngenxa yokuba bamgatya uThixo, bazizisela isigwebo.
Kodwa phezu kwayo nje imvukelo, ikratshi, inkani, nokulahlwa kwabantu bakhe, UThixo wasigcina isithembiso sakhe wabonisa, kube kanye, Uthando lwakhe ngoluntu. Njani? Ngokuthumela uNyana Wakhe uYesu Kristu emhlabeni ukuze axolelanise umntu noThixo aze abuyisele (hlala) ubuntu. (Funda kwakhona: Luxolo olunjani uYesu awaluzisa emhlabeni? kwaye U-Yesu wayibuyisela imeko yendoda ewileyo).
UYesu wayekuKhanya okwakhanya ebumnyameni beli hlabathi. Wathetha amazwi kaYise kwaye washumayela inyaniso noBukumkani bukaThixo kwaye wabizela abantu enguqukweni.
UYesu weza kugweba kweli hlabathi, ngokuba uYesu wangqina ngamazwi akhe (ukushunyayelwa kwenyaniso kaThixo) ukuba imisebenzi yomntu omdala, ongabehlabathi, babengendawo kwaye begwetyiwe (igwetyiwe) le misebenzi (UYohane 7:7).
Ngokushunyayelwa kwenyaniso, UYesu wabhenca ubuxoki nobunjani bosathana nesono, wenza iimfama, ababehleli ebumnyameni ngobuxoki bobumnyama kodwa beva baza bakholwa amazwi kaYesu, bona kwaye ngemisebenzi yakhe uYesu wayitshabalalisa imisebenzi kasathana kwaye wabakhulula abathinjwa.
Kodwa uYesu wenza ezo, ngubani obefanele ukuba abone, njengabaFarisi nabaSadusi, beziimfama, behleli ezonweni zabo.
UYesu wayeliNgqina likaThixo yaye wayethetha amazwi kaYise
Lowo uvela phezulu ungaphezu kwabo bonke: lowo ungowehlabathi ungowasemhlabeni, kwaye uthetha okwehlabathi: Lowo uvela ezulwini ungaphezu kwabo bonke. akubonileyo ke wakuva, ukuba uyangqina; akukho bani ubamkelayo ubungqina bakhe. Lowo ubamkeleyo ubungqina bakhe, utywine waqinisela ukuthi, uThixo uyinyaniso;. kuba lowo uthunyiweyo nguThixo, uthetha amazwi kaThixo: kuba uThixo akamniki uMoya ngomlinganiselo. uYise uyamthanda uNyana, uzinikele zonke izinto esandleni sakhe. Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, unobomi obungunaphakade: ke lowo ungamviyo uNyana, akayi kubona bomi; ingqumbo kaThixo ihleli phezu kwakhe (UYohane 3:31-36)
Mna ngokwam ngokwam andinakwenza nto: Njengoko ndisivayo, Ndiyagweba: kwaye isigwebo sam; kuba andifuni Eyam intando, kodwa ukuthanda kukaThixo ondithumileyo (UYohane 5:30)
Abantu, ababenako ukwenza imisebenzi yabo emibi bengaphazanyiswa lonke eli xesha, and who had lied to the people and deceived the people with their words, were now disturbed by Jesus. Jesus confronted them and testified that their works were evil. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uYesu lilitye lembombo elixabisekileyo okanye ilitye lesikhubekiso?).
Jesus didn’t walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. Ithetha ukuba, kwi., that Jesus didn’t look at their lineage, social status, imfundo, degrees, isihloko, or outward appearances and words. Jesus looked straight into their hearts. He was spiritual and looked at what was hidden from the eyes of the natural man.
Jesus was a Witness of God and spoke the words and truth of God, By preaching the truth of God, Jesus testified against all those people, who might have looked sincere and God-fearing on the outside but inwardly were evil (Owu. uIsaya 11:3, UYohane 7:24)
Since their hearts were evil, they spoke and did the works with wrong intentions, like selfishness, own gain, amandla, udumo, and honor of people.
They lived double lives and didn’t do the will of God. They didn’t keep His commandments but kept doing their evil works, which they loved, and made their own rules, imithetho, and ordinances.
But Jesus saw their wickedness. Jesus saw, that they didn’t belong to God but the devil, because they didn’t do the will of God but the will of their father the devil, who lies to people, steals from people, and keeps the people in the bondage of sin and don’t lead the people to eternal life but eternal death.
And because they didn’t belong to God, but to the devil and walked in darkness and were spiritually blind, they didn’t see Jesus as the Christ and didn’t want to listen to Him, kodwa endaweni yoko, they called Jesus a sinner, okanye ngamanye amagama, unyana kaMtyholi.
They used the same words that Jesus spoke to them, when Jesus exposed their true nature and works. They accused Jesus of being a son of the devil aka a sinner and that He did the works in his name. (Funda kwakhona: Uyintoni umahluko phakathi kukaYesu neenkokeli zonqulo? kwaye Zifana njani iinkokeli zabantu bakaThixo zamandulo nezangoku?).
And now it was up to the people, bakholwa nguye. Did they believe the religious leaders of Israel, who held an important position in society and had prestige and who they knew all their lives and whom they respected? Or did they believe Jesus of Nazareth, who called Himself the Son of God and Whom they mainly knew by hearsay?
The truth of God judges the evil works
Kuyo yonke indawo uYesu wayefika, He spoke the words of God and preached the truth and the Kingdom of God and through His words He judged the evil works (isono) and revealed the result thereof, and called the people, who belonged to Israel, to repentance so that they might be saved (Funda kwakhona: Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo anikele ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo?).
Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ukuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kuba uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini, ukuze aligwebe ihlabathi; ukuze ihlabathi lisindiswe ngaye. Lowo ukholwayo kuye, akagwetywa: ke lowo ungakholwayo, uselegwetyiwe, ngokuba engakholwanga kwigana loNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo uThixo. Ke oku kugwetywa;, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, ngokuba izenzo zabo bezingendawo. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, ongezi ekukhanyeni, hleze imisebenzi yakhe ingohlwaywa. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakalaliswe, ukuba zenziwe kuThixo (UYohane 3:16-21)
Kuyo yonke indawo uYesu wayefika, the people had a choice to either believe the words of Jesus and repent of their evil works and be saved and receive eternal life or to not believe the words of Jesus and reject His words, whereby they brought the judgment of God upon themselves and were already condemned.
This was the judgment for which Jesus came into this world and gave a choice to all people to be saved by faith in Jesus Christ and to obey His words and live in the truth and the Light of God in freedom or to remain living in darkness in the bondage of sin and death under the condemnation of God, because they loved the darkness more than the Light.
The truth of God judges the evil works of people, not the people themselves. Because the judgment of people shall come on the great Day of Judgment, where every person shall be held accountable for his words and works, and the Word shall judge everyone according to his works and shall receive eternal life or shall be condemned and be baptized with fire and enter the second death (Funda kwakhona: Igama masibe ngumgwebi wakho kwaye Luluphi ubhaptizo lomlilo?)
Is it the will of God that everyone be saved?
It is still the will of God that everyone be saved. Ngoko ke, God wants His sons (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi) to arise and not be silent anymore, but be true witnesses of Jesus Christ and preach the truth of God in boldness so that many people will be saved. (Owu. UYohane 3:16, uTimoti 2:4, 2 UPetros 3:9 (Funda kwakhona: When Christians stay silent, abathinjiwe ebumnyameni bakhulule?)).
INkosi ayilibali dinga, Njengoko amadoda agcina ukubamba; kodwa inde ixesha elide kwi-US-waw, ayivumi ukuba nayiphi na into kufuneka itshabalale, Kodwa ukuba bonke kufanele ukuba baguquke (2 UPetros 3:9)
Not everyone will like your words and the message you preach. Maybe people shall feel offended or hurt, because it hurts their feelings or emotions or goes against their carnal will or opinions, but don’t let that hold you back or stop you, because only the truth of God can save a person from destruction.
It is the will of God that everyone comes to the knowledge of the truth and by faith in Jesus Christ repent and become born again in Christ and become a son of God and walk after the Spirit and live in His truth according to His will, because that’s why God gave His only begotten Son.
A person can never say that God has not shown His love for him or her. A person can never doubt the love of God for humanity, since the crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ is a sign and proof of God’s love for mankind.
