50 Kwiintsuku emva kwePasika (IPesach, iPasika), UThixo wazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe, ngoMoses. UThixo wawubhala umthetho wakhe ngomnwe wakhe kumacwecwe amabini amatye. Kodwa kwakutheni ukuze uThixo abhale umthetho wakhe ematyeni? Kwakutheni ukuze imiyalelo kaThixo ibhalwe ematyeni? Athetha ntoni amacwecwe amatye aseBhayibhileni?
UThixo wabhala umthetho wakhe emacwecweni amatye
Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Nyukani nize kum entabeni;, kwaye ube khona: ndokunika amacwecwe amatye, kunye nomthetho, nemiyalelo endiyibhalileyo; ukuze ubafundise (iEksodus 24:12)
UThixo wabhala imithetho elishumi emacwecweni omabini amatye ngomnwe wakhe. UThixo watyhila Intando yakhe kwaye wenza ukuthanda kwakhe kwabonakala kubantu bakhe. La macwecwe amatye ayemele intliziyo yelitye yabantu benyama, ababethe cwaka indalo endala.
UMoses’ Umsebenzi yayikukufundisa abantu bakaThixo umthetho nemithetho yakhe, ukuze bonke bazi intando yakhe.
Wonke umntu wayeyazi intando yaKhe, kodwa kwaba kuye elowo kubo ukuba bayigcine imithetho yakhe ezintliziyweni zabo, kwaye uhambe ngendlela yakhe.
Ngaphandle kwenyani, ukuba abantu bakaThixo babeyazi intando yakhe, kwaye wathembisa ngentliziyo epheleleyo ukuba uya kwenza, oko uYehova wabawisela umthetho ngako, abaninzi babephila ngokuvukela uThixo.
Abantu babeyazi intando Yakhe ngomthetho waKhe nemithetho Yakhe. Kodwa nangona olu lwazi, baphila ngokwengqondo yabo nangokwentando yabo. Baqhubeka besenza izinto ezibakholisayo, endaweni yokwenza izinto ezikholisa uThixo. Babezithanda ngaphezu kwayo yonke into. Ewe, nangaphezu kweNkosi.
Intliziyo yelitye yatshintshwa yintliziyo yenyama
50 iintsuku emva kokubethelelwa KuYesu Krestu, ukuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele kwenzeka. Umoya womntu, owayebanjwe sisimo esonakeleyo, ephantsi kwegunya lokufa, wavuswa kwabafileyo, ngokubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
NgoMhla wePentekoste, indalo entsha yenziwa. Le ndalo intsha yayingasenayo intliziyo yelitye kwakhona, kuba intliziyo yelitye iyeyendalo yakudala. UThixo ngokwakhe, wayisusa intliziyo yelitye, wayinika intliziyo yenyama.
Wonke umntu, ngubani oya kuba indalo entsha kuYesu Kristu, nge ukuzalwa ngokutsha, wayeza kufumana intliziyo entsha; intliziyo yenyama.
Kwaye ndiza kubanika ntliziyo enye, Kwaye ndiza kubeka umoya omtsha ngaphakathi kwakho; kwaye ndiza kuyithatha i-stony intliziyo yabo ngaphandle kwenyama yabo, kwaye ubanike intliziyo yenyama: Ukuze bahambe kwimithetho yam, kwaye ugcine amasiko am, kwaye wenze: Kwaye baya kuba ngabantu bam, kwaye ndiza kuba nguThixo wabo. Kodwa ke bona bahamba beyintliziyo yabo emva kwentliziyo, izinto zabo ezicekisekayo, namasikizi abo, Ndiza kuphinda ndicinge ngeendlela zabo ezintlokweni zabo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova (UHezekile 11:19-21)
Guquka, nibuye kuzo zonke izikreqo zenu; ke ubugwenxa abuyi kuba sisikhubekiso kuni. Lahlani zonke izikreqo zenu, enikreqe ngako; nenze intliziyo entsha nomoya omtsha: yini na ukuba nife, Owu ndlu kaSirayeli? Ngokuba akumnandi kum ukufa kofayo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova: Kungoko, kwaye uphile nawe (UHezekile 18:30-32)
“Ndiza kubeka imithetho yam ezingqondweni zabo, babhale ezintliziyweni zabo”
Intliziyo entsha endiya kukunika, kwaye umoya omtsha ndiza kubeka ngaphakathi kuwe: Kwaye ndiza kuyisusa intliziyo etyebileyo kwinyama yakho, ndoninika intliziyo yenyama. Ndiya kufaka uMoya wam phakathi kwenu, ndinihambise ngemimiselo yam, nize niwagcine amasiko am, kwaye wenze. niya kuhlala ezweni endalinika ooyihlo; nibe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wenu (UHezekile 36:26-27)
Nguwo lo ngumnqophiso endiza kuyenza ngendlu kaSirayeli,, utsho uYehova; Ndiza kubeka imithetho yam ezingqondweni zabo, babhale ezintliziyweni zabo: Kwaye ndiza kuba nguThixo, Kwaye baya kuba ngabantu bam: Abayi kufundisa wonke umntu ummelwane wakhe, Kwaye wonke umntu umntakwabo, esithi, Yazi iNkosi: kuba bonke baya kwazi, ukusuka ubuncinci ukuya kwelona likhulu. Kuba ndiya kuba nemfesane ngenxa yobuswela-bulungisa, Izono zabo, nobugwenxa babo andiyi kuba sakukhumbula (Hebhere 8:10-12)
Ukutshintsha kwentliziyo kubangela utshintsho kwindalo
Ngeukuzalwa ngokutsha, umoya womntu uyavuswa kwabafileyo, udle ubomi. Xa umntu ezelwe ngokutsha, umntu uya kunikwa intliziyo entsha. Loo ntliziyo intsha iya kubangela utshintsho kwindalo.
Intliziyo yelitye, ababesoloko bemvukela uThixo nakwintando Yakhe nemithetho Yakhe, iya kuthatyathelwa indawo yintliziyo yenyama. Le ntliziyo yenyama iphethe indalo kunye nentando kaThixo. Intando kaThixo; Umthetho wakhe ubhalwe entliziyweni yakho entsha yenyama.
Incwadi yethu ebhalwe ezintliziyweni zethu, nini;, iyaziwa, ifundwa ngabantu bonke: nibonakalalisiwe nje ukuba niyincwadi kaKristu, eyalungiselelwa sithi, engabhalwanga ngainki, kodwa ngoMoya kaThixo ophilileyo; kungekhona emacwecweni amatye, kodwa kumacwecwe enyama yentliziyo(2 KwabaseKorinte 3:3)
Xa ubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, Ubume bukaThixo buba yindalo yakho.
UMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kuwe kwaye unxibelelana nomoya wakho. Nize nimphulaphule yena, kwaye uhambe emva kwentando yakhe njengendalo entsha; unyana kaThixo.
Indalo entsha akahambi ngemvukelo nasekungamthobelini uThixo uBawo. Kodwa indalo entsha iya kuzithoba kwiLizwi likaThixo; UYesu, kwaye uya kuphila emva koko ukuthanda kukaBawo, njengoYesu.
Indalo entsha ayiyi kubenzakalisa uBukumkani bukaThixo, ngokuziqhelisa ukuhlala esonweni, nokwenza izinto ezimkholisayo. Isidalwa esitsha siya kwenza ezo zinto kuphela, ezikholisa uYise, ukuze aphakanyiswe, azukiswe. Ngenxa yokuba isidalwa esitsha siyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakhe yonke, intliziyo, umphefumlo, kunye namandla (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ngaba uyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke?‘).
Indalo entsha iyamkholisa uBawo noYesu Kristu
Kuba indalo entsha imthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yayo yonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo, kunye namandla, indalo entsha iya Gqibezela umthetho kaThixo. Kuba umthetho kaThixo awuyonto ngaphandle kwentando yakhe. Ukuthanda kwakhe sele kukho, ngaphambi kokuba uThixo aveze intando yakhe, kuMoses nakubantu bakhe.
SENZA ke ngoko, siyawuthambisa umthetho ngokholo? Makube lee oko: ewe, Simamela umthetho (AmaRoma 3:31)
UThixo usinike iLizwi lakhe kwaye ukuba siphila ngokweLizwi lakhe noMoya wakhe, kwaye senze oko uYesu asiyalele ukuba sikwenze size ke siyigcine imiyalelo yakhe, emva koko siyakwenza Gqibezela umthetho kwaye akholise uBawo noYesu Kristu.
