Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba uThixo wathumela iLizwi lakhe waza wabaphilisa? Wathumela iLizwi lakhe kwaye ebaphilise rhoqo acatshulwe kwaye asetyenziselwa ukuphiliswa kokugula. Kodwa ngaba iNdumiso 107:20 ibhekisa kuphela ekuphilisweni ngokwasemzimbeni okanye ibhekisa kokungaphezulu kunoko?
Izidenge, ababecinezelwe ngenxa yobugwenxa nobugwenxa babo
Izidenge ngenxa yokunxaxha kwabo, Kwaye ngenxa yobugwenxa babo, baxhwalekile. Umphefumlo wabo uyacekisa zonke iinyama; kwaye zisondela emasangweni okufa. Bakhala eNkosini ebandleni labo, Ubasindisa ekucuthekeni kwabo. Wathumela iLizwi lakhe, kwaye baphilise, Bazihlangula kwiintshabalalo zabo. Mabambonge uNdikhoyo ngokulunga kwakhe, Nangenxa yemisebenzi yakhe ebalulekileyo koonyana babantu! Kwaye mabanike imibingelelo yombulelo, niyibhengeze imisebenzi yakhe nivuya (Iindumiso 107:17-22)
INdumiso 107:17-22 imalunga nezidenge, ababandezelekileyo ngenxa yesikreqo sabo (isono) nobugwenxa babo. Ngoobani abaziziyatha? Izidenge zezo, abangamoyikiyo uThixo baze bamchase uThixo neLizwi lakhe baze bahlale behamba ezonweni nobugwenxa ngoko ke bangaboni., okanye ngamanye amagama, ongendawo. Abangendawo bayakwazi ukuguquka baze babuye kwiindlela zabo ezimbi, kodwa abafuni kuba bethanda ukwenza imisebenzi yenyama (isono).
Ngenxa yobugwenxa bokubawa kwakhe ndaba noburhalarhume, waza wambetha: Ndazifihla Mna, waba nomsindo, wahamba ephamba ngendlela yentliziyo yakhe.
Ndizibonile iindlela zakhe, kwaye uya kumphilisa: nam ndiya kumrholela, umbuyisele intuthuzelo yena, nabakhe abenza isijwili. Ndidala isiqhamo somlomo; Uxolo, uxolo malubekho kwabakude, nakulowo ukufuphi, utsho uYehova; ndiya kumphilisa.
Ke bona abangendawo banjengolwandle oluvunjululweyo;, xa ingenakuphumla, abamanzi abo avumbulula udaka nezibi. Akukho luxolo, utsho uThixo wam, kwabangendawo (uIsaya 57:17-21)
Iziyatha aka abangendawo baphila phantsi kwegunya likasathana kwingcinezelo yokufa kwaye bathuthunjiswa emphefumlweni wabo.. Abanalo uxolo ezintliziyweni zabo, kodwa bahamba besoyika, besiya ekufeni okungunaphakade.
Bahlala bekhangela iindlela kunye neendlela zokususa intuthumbo emiphefumlweni yabo kunye noloyiko lwabo kunye namava okuphumla noxolo ebomini babo.
Kodwa olu xolo, efunyanwa ngokusetyenziswa kwe (indalo) ubugcisa kunye neendlela zokwexeshana kuphela kwaye aziyi kuba nako ukukhulula umntu kuloyiko lwabo kwaye abahlangule ekufeni..
UThixo wathumela ilizwi lakhe ngabaprofeti Bakhe
Bathe ke bakuba bengavumelananga phakathi kwabo, bahamba, emva koko uPawulos wathetha ilizwi lalinye, Watyapha uMoya oyiNgcwele ngoIsaya umprofeti koobawo bethu, Ethetha, Hamba uye kwaba bantu, kwaye utsho, Ukuva niya kuva, kwaye abayi kuqonda; nokubona niya kubona, kwaye ababoni: Kuba intliziyo yaba bantu ithe fithi kukutyeba;, neendlebe zabo zithe fithi kukukuva, bayawacima namehlo abo; hleze babone ngamehlo, uve ngeendlebe zabo, baqonde ngentliziyo yabo, kwaye kufuneka iguqulwe, ndibaphilise. Makwazeke ngoko kuni, ukuba usindiso lukaThixo luthunyelwe kuzo iintlanga, nokuba baya kuYiva (IZenzo 28:25-28, bona kwanoIsaya 6:9-10, UMateyu 13:13-15, UYohane 12:39-41)
KuMnqophiso oMdala, UThixo walithumela ilizwi lakhe amaxesha amaninzi ngabaprofeti Bakhe, ukuze bambuyise abangendawo, abangendawo endleleni yabo; (baphilise) Ndikunye noThixo.
Mamaxesha amaninzi, UThixo wabiza abantu bakhe ukuba baguquke kuhambo lwabo olulambathayo olwabangela uwexuko lwabakhokelela kwingcinezelo, ubukhoboka, kunye nokuthinjwa. Ke bona abantu baneenkani, baneenkani, bengawaphulaphuli amazwi kaThixo, bengawaphulaphula amazwi akhe., kodwa bawakhaba amazwi kaThixo kwaye bathembela kubo ukuqonda.
UThixo wabaphilisa abantu Bakhe nelizwe, xa abantu beguquka
Yiza, yaye masibuyele kuYehova: ngokuba eqwenga, kwaye uya kusiphilisa; Ubethile, kwaye uya kusibopha. Wosidlisa ubomi, kwakuba ntsuku mbini;: ngomhla wesithathu uya kusivusa, kwaye siya kuphila phambi kwakhe. Emva koko siya kwazi, ukuba siphuthuma ukuyazi iNkosi (uHoseya 6:1-3)
Kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha abantu babembiza uThixo besengxakini yabo baze baguquke babuyele kuThixo, UThixo wasiva isikhalo sabantu bakhe wathumela ilizwi lakhe wabaphilisa.
UThixo wathumela abasindisi bakhe ukuba bahlangule abantu bakhe esandleni seentshaba zabo baze babasindise kwiingxaki zabo, Ingxaki, kunye/okanye ukuthinjwa kunye nokubuyisela (hlala) ilizwe okanye ukhulule abantu kwaye ubabuyisele emhlabeni wabo. Kwaye ke uThixo wabaphilisa abantu Bakhe kunye nelizwe (Owu. 2 YeziKronike 15, UNehemiya 9:26-31).
Lithini igama elithi ‘râphâ’ thetha?
Igama elithi ‘raph’ (H7495) ithetha u-a.o., ukuphilisa, ukuchacha, phila, ukulungisa, ogqirha.
Igama elithi ‘ukuphilisa’ libhekisela kwizinto ezininzi ngaphezu kokugula nje komzimba womntu.
UThixo waphilisa (kwaye usaphilisa) abantu abaninzi, ababegula, kodwa uThixo waphilisa (kwaye usaphilisa) ngakumbi ngelizwi laKhe. UThixo waphilisa ngelizwi lakhe elathethwa ngabaprofeti bakhe, amanzi, Umhlaba, umphefumlo, Abantu bakhe (ibandla), imeko yesono engendawo (ukungahlambuluki) yabantu baKhe, njl. (Owu. 2 Ookumkani 2:21-22, 2 YeziKronike 7:14; 30:170-20, Iindumiso 41:4, uIsaya 6:9-10;19:22; 57:18-19, UYeremiya 3:22, UHezekile 47:8, uHoseya 6:1; 7:1.
UThixo wathumela iLizwi laKhe waza wabaphilisa
Iekuqalekeni ube ekho uLizwi, waye uLizwi ekuye uThixo, waye uLizwi enguThixo. Yena lowo ebekho ekuqalekeni kuThixo. Zonke izinto zabakho ngaye; engekho yena, akubangakho nanye into ethe yabakho. Kuye kwakukho ubomi; baye obo bomi baba lukhanyiso eluntwini. Ukhanyiso ke olo lukhanya ebumnyameni; kwaye ubumnyama abuzange bukoyise.
Kwaye kukho umntu othunyiweyo evela kuThixo, ogama linguYohane. Kwaba njalo nangobungqina, ukuze ndingqine ngalo ukhanyiso, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye. Wayengekuko oko kuKhanya, koko wathunyelwa kungqina ngalo ukhanyiso.
Yayikoko kuKhanya kwenene, okhanyisela wonke umntu esiza ehlabathini. Wayesehlabathini, yaye ihlabathi labakho ngaye, laye ihlabathi lingamazi. Weza kwelakhe, Abakhe abamamkelanga. Kodwa abaninzi abamamkelayo, kubo banika amandla okuba ngoonyana bakaThixo, nakwabo bakholelwayo kwigama lakhe: Ezazalwa, hayi ngegazi, nangasekuthandweni lwenyama, nangasemoyeni womntu, kodwa nguThixo.
Kwaye uLizwi wenziwa inyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, (sabubona ubuqaqawuli bakhe, ubuqaqawuli kanye bowokuphela kwamzeleyo uYise,) izele lubabalo nenyaniso (UYohane 1:1-14)
Ekugqibeleni, UThixo wathumela iLizwi laKhe ukuba liphilise (buyisela) ukwahlukana phakathi koThixo nomntu kunye nesikhundla somntu owileyo, apho idinga likaThixo lazaliseka lokubuyisela (hlala) uluntu kwaye ubenze baphile, aze abuyisele ulawulo uThixo awayelunike umntu ekuqaleni xa wayebadala, kwi (entsha) indoda (Owu. IGenesis 3:15, UHezekile 11:19-20; 36:25-29 (Funda kwakhona: ‘Uxolo UYesu wabuyiselwa phakathi kwendoda eNtwa kunye noThixo‘ kwaye ‘U-Yesu wayibuyisela imeko yendoda ewileyo‘).
Wakhala uYesu wathi, Lowo ukholwayo kuM, anikholwa kum, kodwa kulowo wandithumayo. Lowo undibonayo mna, ubona owandithumayo. Mna ndilukhanyiso ehlabathini, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kum bangahlali ebumnyameni. Nokuba umntu uthe waweva amazwi am, ningakholwa ke, andimgwebi: kuba andizanga kuligweba ihlabathi, kodwa kukusindisa ihlabathi. Lowo ugiba Mna, akawamkeli amazwi am, unaye umgwebi: ilizwi endilithethileyo, abaya kumgweba ngomhla wokugqibela. Kuba andithethanga ngam; kodwa uBawo owandithumayo, Wandinika umthetho, mandithini, nento endiya kuyithetha. Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba umthetho wakhe bubomi obungunaphakade: Ngoko ke izinto endizithethayo mna, njengokuba uBawo wathethayo kum, ngoko ndiyathetha (UYohane 12:44-50)
UThixo wathumela uNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu, ILizwi likaThixo eliphilileyo noMsindisi woluntu, emhlabeni ukuze akhulule uluntu kwintshabalalo.
UYesu weza kuhlangula uluntu kumandla kasathana (umcinezeli, umntu oxhwalekileyo) isono, ubugwenxa, nokufa nokusindisa uluntu esihogweni (hads), kwaye uphilise umntu owileyo, okanye ngamanye amagama, ukubuyisela imo yobulungisa kunye nesikhundla somntu owileyo kwaye axolelanise umntu kwakhona noThixo.
Umntu unokusindiswa kuphela kwintshabalalo kanaphakade aze asinde esihogweni (hads) ukuba umntu uyalikholelwa iLizwi aze aguquke aze akhululwe nguYesu Kristu; iLizwi kwaye liyabuyiselwa (ukuphiliswa) ekuweni kwakhe aze aphiliswe , nangegazi likaYesu Kristu, nokuvuka koMoya kwabafileyo, uxolelanisiwe noThixo.
UYesu washumayela ngoBukumkani bukaThixo waza wabiza abantu ukuba baguquke. UYesu weza kuqala ngenxa yezimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli waza waziphilisa zonke, Ngoobani ababecinezelwe nguMtyholi, ngokushumayela uBukumkani bukaThixo, ebiza abantu enguqukweni, exolela izono zabo, ephilisa abagulayo, Ukukhupha iidemon, njl. (Owu. UMateyu 9:12-13; 15:24, ULuka 4:18-19; 5:32, IZenzo 10:38-39)
NgoYesu Krestu, iLizwi noMsindisi, nomsebenzi wakhe wokukhulula umntu uyaphiliswa
Kwaye ekugqibeleni, UYesu wawugqiba umsebenzi ogqibeleleyo wokukhulula uluntu, ngokuthabatha indawo yomntu owileyo emnqamlezweni.
UYesu wathwala izono zehlabathi, awathi uYise wayibeka phezu kwakhe, waza ngenxa yoko uYesu wangena esihogweni (hads), apho uYesu wakoyisa ukufa waza wavuka njengoMoyisi kwabafileyo enezitshixo zesihogo nokufa (Funda kwakhona ‘Ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni‘, ‘Ukubethelelwa kwenyama‘ kwaye ‘Intsingiselo yokwenyani yomnqamlezo‘).
UYesu wayewugqibile umsebenzi wokukhulula waza wanikela, kwaye usanika, kubo bonke abe nako ukukhululwa egunyeni likaMtyholi, esonweni nasekufeni, Ngokholo kunye nokukhuliswa kuye; ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo kunye nokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele.
UYesu wambuyisela umntu, okanye ngamanye amagama, UYesu wayiphilisa ngokupheleleyo indoda; umoya, umphefumlo, kunye nomzimba. UThixo wawubuyisela umphefumlo wakhe wobomi kumntu omtsha ngoMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele.
Umntu omtsha uzelwe nguThixo kwaye uyaphiliswa (yenziwe yaphela) kuYesu Krestu kwaye ukhululwe emandleni kasathana nesono nokufa kwaye usindisiwe kwintshabalalo yanaphakade!
Ke ngoko uThixo wathumela iLizwi laKhe waza wabaphilisa.
