UYesu wayenguMhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni udla ngokusetyenziswa ngamaKristu ukuba aphile njengehlabathi nobudlelwane nabangakholwayo kwaye amkele isono.. Nje ukuba ujongane nomKristu ngokuziphatha okuthile, isono, okanye ubuhlobo nehlabathi, uhlala uva, “Kodwa uYesu wayengumhlobo wababuthi berhafu, oonongogo, naboni, kwaye wayenobudlelwane nabo. Ukuba wayenobudlelwane nabo, sinokuba nobudlelwane nabangakholwayo kwaye sibamkele kwaye sibahlonele ngoko bakuko kwaye singabagwebi. Kodwa yinyani, uYesu wayengumhlobo wababuthi berhafu, oonongogo, kunye naboni kwaye waba nobudlelwane naboni ngokweBhayibhile?
UYohane umbhaptizi wayeshumayela ubhaptizo lwenguquko ukuze kuxolelwe izono
Ngaphambi kokuba uYesu eze eqongeni, UYohane umbhaptizi wayeseqongeni. UYohane umbhaptizi wayengumanduleli kaYesu kwaye walungiselela indlela ukuza kukaYesu Kristu. UYohane wayeshumayela entlango yelakwaYuda, ubhaptizo lwenguquko. Uthe, Guquka (ukuba notshintsho lwengqondo olubangela ukuzisola nokutshintsha indlela yokuziphatha), ngokuba ubukumkani bukaThixo busondele.
UYohane umbhaptizi wayeshumayela ngolo hlobo, umxhuzulane negunya, ekufuneka ithotyelwe kwaye ithotyelwe.
iYerusalem, ElakwaYuda liphela, nakummandla wonke waseYordan, besiya kuYohane umbhaptizi. Babhaptizwa nguYohane kumlambo iYordan ngoxa babesenza uvumo lwasesidlangalaleni lwezono zabo (UMateyu 3:1-6).
UYohane umbhaptizi engoyiki yaye othuswe ngabaFarisi nabaSadusi xa beza kubhaptizo lwakhe.. Kunoko, UYohane wabajonga ngehambo yabo.
Wababiza ngokuba sisizukulwana samarhamba waza wababizela enguqukweni ukuze bathwale isiqhamo, eyayiza kuhlangabezana nenguquko. Balicekisa icebo likaThixo, ngokwala ukubhaptizwa.
UYohane wayeshumayela ubhaptizo lwenguquko ukuze kuxolelwe izono yaye ebhaptiza abantu ababeluva ubizo lwakhe (UMateyu 3:1-12, ULuka 3:9).
Phakathi kwabantu abaluthobelayo ubizo lwakhe baza babhaptizwa kwakukho nababuthi berhafu (leyo yayiyeyendlu kaSirayeli).
Ababuthi berhafu baguquka baza babuza uYohane into ababefanele bayenze
Kweza ababuthi berhafu kuYohane baza baguquka bakuva ilizwi lakhe baza baguquka bizela enguqukweni ukuze baxolelwe izono baza babhaptizwa.
Ababuthi berhafu bambuza uYohane, into ababefanele bayenze. Wabaphendula uYohane, ukuba babuze (ngqo) hayi ngaphezulu koko, ababemiselwe zona (ULuka 3:12-13; 7:29-30).
Aba baqokeleli berhafu baguquka kwizono zabo baza babhaptizwa. Nangona babesengababuthi berhafu, babengengabo ababuthi berhafu abangaguqukiyo, ababengoobani, abathandi bemali, amaxoki, abaqhathi, nabaphangi, baqhubela phambili nemisebenzi yabo engendawo, ezazichasene nentando kaThixo.
UYesu wabizela inguquko ababelahlekile bendlu kaSirayeli
UYesu weza emhlabeni, ngelixa uMnqophiso oMdala wawusekho. Akazange eze kuqala kwiiNtlanga, kodwa ngenxa yezimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli (UMateyu 15:24).
UYesu weza ngenxa yabantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso ngokuzalwa ngokwemvelo kunye nolwaluko lwasenyameni. Ababuthi berhafu, oonongogo, naboni, abakhankanywe eBhayibhileni, yayingowendlu kaSirayeli.
Nangona babenewonga leeNtlanga, babengengabo abeeNtlanga ngemvelo. Baphambuka endleleni yeNkosi, bangena ngendlela, ebingangqinelani ne intando kaThixo.
Ababuthi berhafu, amahenyukazi naboni benza emehlweni kaYehova, kwaye wahlala isono. Babengamahlwempu nabalahlekileyo bendlu kaSirayeli.
Ukuza kukaYesu akuzange kutshintshe nto ngomyalezo kaThixo owawushunyayelwa ngabo bonke abaprofeti noYohane umbhaptizi.. UYesu washumayela kwaeso sigidimi soBukumkani waza wabiza abantu, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli, enguqukweni ukuze kuxolelwe izono.
UYesu akazange aye kunye neeNtlanga, kodwa Yena waya kubantu bendlu kaSirayeli waza washumayela iindaba ezilungileyo kumahlwempu. Waphilisa abantliziyo zaphukileyo, washumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zenkululeko kubathinjwa, wayibuyisela ukubona kwiimfama, Ukuba abakhulule abaqobekileyo, Wawuvakalisa umnyaka owamkelekileyo weNkosi (ULuka 4:18-19).
Ngaba uYesu wayesamkela isono?
UYesu akazange avume isono kwaye akazange abe nobudlelwane nababuthi berhafu naboni, ababengabantu bakaThixo, kodwa wazingisa esonweni. Akazange abe nobudlelwane kunye neeNtlanga, njengoko abantu abaninzi becinga kwaye batsho. Kuba nangona uYesu wafela isizukulwana somntu owileyo, inceba nobabalo lukaThixo lweza kwiiNtlanga emva kokufa nokuvuka kukaYesu Krestu nasemva kokufika koMoya oyiNgcwele. (IZenzo 10).
UYesu akazange abe nabudlelane nababuthi berhafu naboni, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli, ngenxa yezizathu zokuzingca ngenjongo yokuba nobudlelwane nabo. Akazange abe nesabelo kwimisebenzi yabo aze alungelelanise imithetho nemilinganiselo yoBukumkani bukaThixo kwiminqweno yabo nentando yabo..
NoYesu akazange alungelelanise isigidimi Sakhe koko abantu babefuna ukukuva.
UYesu wathetha nabantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso ngowexuko lwabo, izono kunye nobugwenxa kunye babize ukuba baguquke wabayalela, phakathi kwabanye, ningabi sona (o.k. UYohane 5:14; 8:11)
Imisebenzi ye (abangaguqukiyo) ababuthi berhafu babengendawo, bengelungile. UYesu waqinisekisa ukuba ihambo nemisebenzi yabo yayingalunganga kwiZibhalo ezilandelayo:
Ukuba ke umzalwana wakho uthe wakona, hamba uye kumxelela ukuba gwenxa phakathi kwakho kwaye yedwa: Ukuba uthe wakuva,, Uwufumene umntakwenu wakho. Kodwa ukuba akakuva, emva koko thabatha nawe enye okanye ezimbini, ukuba emlonyeni wamangqina amabini okanye amathathu onke amazwi anokusekwa. Kwaye ukuba akayikhathalela ukubava, Yixelele ecaweni: Kodwa ukuba akayikhathalele ukuva icawe, kuwe makabe njengomntu weentlanga nombuthi werhafu (UMateyu 18:15-17)
Kuba xa niyabathanda abo banithandayo, Nguwuphi umvuzo? musani nokuba ngababuthi bearhente? Kwaye ukuba niyabulisa abazalwana bakho kuphela, Wenza ntoni ngaphezulu kwabanye? musani ukuba ngababuthi bearhente? Yiba nigqibelele, njengokuba uYihlo osemazulwini efezekile (UMateyu 5:44-48)
UYesu akangoMntu
UYesu akazange asivumele kwaye avume isono. Hayi, kwanemisebenzi engendawo kaYehova (abangaguqukiyo) abarhafi. UYesu wayengengoMntu onyamezelayo, ivunyiwe kwaye yathethelela yonke into, kuquka isono. Abantu, abathetha oku, andiyazi iBhayibhile; ilizwi. Bane badale owabo uYesu kwingqondo yabo yenyama, abajongeka kanye njengabo.
UYesu akazange ayithethelele imisebenzi engendawo yababuthi berhafu naboni. Wayengenawo ubudlelane kunye nababuthi berhafu naboni, ababengazimiselanga ukuguquka baze bazingise ezonweni zabo.
Kungenxa yokuba isono kukuvukela kunye nokungamthobeli uThixo kwaye kubangela ukwahlukana phakathi koThixo nomntu.
Xa uYesu wathabathela kuye sonke isono soluntu, uYise wamshiya. Ngalo mzuzu, UYesu wayekhona ahlulwe kuYise. Isono sabangela ukwahlukana, kwaye isono sisabangela ukwahlukana, ngaphandle kokuza kukaYesu Krestu kunye nomsebenzi waKhe wokukhulula.
Umsebenzi wokuhlangula awubandakanyi ukwamkela isono nentswela-bulungisa. Kodwa umsebenzi wentlawulelo uqulathe ukukhululwa kwentlawulelo indoda endala yenyama, ngokubeka phantsi inyama; ukufa kwenyama, ukuze umntu omtsha avuke kwabafileyo.
UYesu ulukhanyiso lwehlabathi
UYesu ulukhanyiso lwehlabathi. Xa uYesu wayelapha emhlabeni, Wangqina ukuba imisebenzi yehlabathi ingendawo (UYohane 7:7). UYesu wajongana nabantu ababehamba ebumnyameni nezono zabo waza wababizela enguqukweni.
UYesu akazange awavale amehlo akhe. Akazange athethe, “Wenza umsebenzi omhle, qhubeka nendlela ophila ngayo” okanye “Walukile ngoko ke usindisiwe, naphezu kwemisebenzi eniyenzayo.” NoYesu akatshongo, ukuba uThixo wayeyiqonda imisebenzi yabo engendawo waza wayamkela.
Hayi, UYesu wababiza abantu abonileyo ukuba baguquke. Wabayalela ukuba basuse izono zabo. Wathi uYesu: “hamba ungabi sona”.
Oku kuthetha ukuba kumnqophiso omdala, umntu wenyama wayesele enawo amandla okuphinda enze isono.
Babenokwenza okuthile ngaloo nto, oko kukuthi, ukusichasa isono, ungabi sona. Kodwa yayilukhetho lwabo. Yaye ukhetho lwabo lwaluxhomekeke kumthetho wokuqala, oko kukuthi ukuba wayemthanda uThixo Ngeentliziyo zabo zonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo namandla (iDuteronomi 10:12, Phawula 12:30).
Kuba ukuba uyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke, umphefumlo, ingqondo namandla, akuyi kuzingisa esonweni, kodwa uya kwenza intiyo isono, njengoThixo, UYesu noMoya oyiNgcwele, kwaye uguquke kwaye ususe izono ebomini bakho.
Xa uYesu weza waza wahlala phakathi kwabantu, ukukhanya okubonakala ebumnyameni.
Abantu bendlu kaSirayeli babejamelene nemeko yabo yobumnyama nengcolileyo nemisebenzi yabo engendawo yentswela-bulungisa.. Ngokuba uYesu wayingqina imisebenzi yabo engendawo, wayizisa imisebenzi yabo yobumnyama ekukhanyeni, abaninzi babemthiyile uYesu. Kodwa asingabo bonke, kuba kananjalo babebaninzi abantu, ngubani okholwayo kwaye oguqukayo (UYohane 7:7; 15:18).
Oku kwenzeka naphakathi kwababuthi berhafu, amahenyukazi nabanye aboni, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli. Xa badibana noYesu, ababemela uThixo noBukumkani Bakhe, bajongana nemisebenzi yabo engendawo kwaye waguquka izono zabo ngenxa yamazwi kaYesu baza balandela uYesu.
Babengasenasono, kodwa bakholwa, waguquka, kwaye basindiswa.
Ubizo lukaMateyu umbuthi werhafu
Njengoko Wayedlula, Wambona uLevi, unyana ka-Alifeyu, ehleli endaweni yerhafu, Yathi kuye, Ndilandele. Wesuka ke, wamlandela. Kwaye kwenzeka, loo nto, waye ehleli ngasesithebeni endlwini yakhe, Kwahlala nento eninzi yababuthi berhafu naboni ndawonye noYesu nabafundi bakhe: ngokuba bebaninzi, bamlandela ke. Baye ababhali kwanabaFarisi, bakumbona esidla ndawonye nababuthi berhafu naboni, bathi kubafundi bakhe, Yini na ukuba adle asele nababuthi berhafu naboni?? Xa uYesu weva, Wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo;, kodwa ngabafayo: Andize ndibize ilungisa, Kodwa aboni baguquka (Phawula 2:14-17)
Emveni kwezi zinto waphuma, wabona umbuthi werhafu, ogama linguLevi, ehleli kwindawo yokufumana isiko: Wathi yena kuye, Ndilandele. Wazishiya zonke, waphakama, bamlandela. ULevi ke wamenzela isidlo esikhulu endlwini yakhe: kwaye kukho nenkitha enkulu yababuthi berhafu nabanye ababehleli nabo. Kodwa ababhali babo nabaFarisi babakrokrela abafundi bakhe, esithi, Yini na ukuba nidle nisele nababuthi berhafu naboni?? Waphendula ke uYesu wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo;; kodwa ngabafayo. Andize ndibize ilungisa, Kodwa aboni baguquka (ULuka 5:27-32)
Wabuya waphuma waya ngaselwandle; zaye zonke izihlwele zeza kuye, wabafundisa. Kwaye njengoko Wayedlula, Wambona uLevi, unyana ka-Alifeyu, ehleli endaweni yerhafu, Yathi kuye, Ndilandele. Wesuka ke, wamlandela.
Kwaye kwenzeka, loo nto, waye ehleli ngasesithebeni endlwini yakhe, Kwahlala nento eninzi yababuthi berhafu naboni ndawonye noYesu nabafundi bakhe: ngokuba bebaninzi, bamlandela ke. Baye ababhali kwanabaFarisi, bakumbona esidla ndawonye nababuthi berhafu naboni, bathi kubafundi bakhe, Yini na ukuba adle asele nababuthi berhafu naboni?? Xa uYesu weva, Athi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo;, kodwa ngabafayo: Andize ndibize ilungisa, Kodwa aboni baguquka (Phawula 2:13-17)
Kwezi zibhalo, sifunda ngobizo lukaMateyu (ukwabizwa ngokuba nguLevi). UMateyu wayengumbuthi werhafu; umqokeleli werhafu, kodwa akufika uYesu, waweva amazwi akhe, UMateyu wawathobela amazwi akhe, kwaye kwangoko washiya yonke into ngasemva kwaye balandela uYesu. UMateyu waba ngomnye wabafundi bakaYesu abalishumi elinesibini.
Xa uYesu nabanye abafundi bakhe bangena kwikhaya likaMateyu baza bangqengqa etafileni nabanye ababuthi berhafu naboni., Beza ababhali beza kubafundi bakhe, bambuza, kutheni iNkosi yabo (UYesu) lala nababuthi berhafu naboni.
UYesu wawuva umbuzo wabo waza waphendula, ukuba engezanga kubiza amalungisa, Kodwa aboni baguquka.
Ngoko ke, UYesu akazange alalanise nababuthi berhafu naboni, Akayivumeli imisebenzi yabo, kodwa uYesu wababizela enguqukweni.
Inguquko kaZakeyu, umbuthi werhafu
Waye engene uYesu, ecanda eYeriko, khangela, kwakukho indoda egama linguZakeyu, ebiyintloko yababuthi berhafu, yaye isisityebi. Yayifuna ukumbona uYesu, ukuba ngubani na; ababa nako ngenxa yoshicilelo, ngokuba wayemncinci ngesiqu. Uye wabaleka ngaphambili, wakhwela emthini womthombe ukuba ambone: ngokuba ebeza kudlula ngaloo ndlela. Akufika uYesu kuloo ndawo, wajonga phezulu, wambona, Yathi kuye, UZakeyu, khawuleza, uze uhle; kuba namhlanje ndimelwe kukuhlala endlwini yakho Uye wakhawuleza, ndehla, wamamkela ngovuyo. Bathe ke bakuyibona, bakrokra bonke, esithi, Ungene waya kulala kwindoda engumoni; wema uZakeyu, wathi kuNdikhoyo; Khangela, Nkosi, Isiqingatha seempahla zam ndinika amahlwempu; Ukuba ndithathile nantoni na kuye nawuphi na umntu ngesityholo sobuxoki, Ndibuyisa kuye ezine. Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Olu suku lusindiswa kule ndlu, ngokokuba naye engunyana ka-Abraham. Kuba uNyana woMntu ufumana, aze ayisindise oko kulahlekileyo (ULuka 19:1-10)
Ngoxa uZakeyu wayehleli emthini womthombe, UYesu wabiza uZakeyu. Kwangoko, UZakeyu waluphulaphula ubizo lwakhe waza wenza oko uYesu wayemyalele kona. UZakeyu wakhwela emthini waza wamamkela uYesu ekhayeni lakhe ngovuyo.
Bakubona abantu oku, baqala ukumbombozela bonke. Kuba uYesu wayenokuba lundwendwe njani aze angene kwikhaya lomoni?
Wesuka wema uZakeyu, waxelela uYesu, ukuze anike amahlwempu isiqingatha sempahla yakhe. Kodwa kwakungaphelelanga apho! Naye wathembisa, nokuba uthe wathabatha into nakubani ngokumtyhola, ukuba ambuyisele kane.
UYesu wakubona ukunyaniseka nokuguquka kwakhe, lwafika ke usindiso endlwini yakhe.
Waphinda watsho uYesu, ukuba Weza kusindisa okulahlekileyo. Wayezazi iigusha, owayengowendlu kaSirayeli kwaye uZakeyu wayeyimvu elahlekileyo, awathi uYesu wabafumana, wababuyisela emhlambini (ULuka 15:1-10)
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi
Uninzi lwabaFarisi nabaSadusi lwalubonakala lukhonza uThixo, indoda eyoyika uthixo, kodwa eneneni, babekhukhumele yaye bezele likratshi. Nangona babenolwazi oluphangaleleyo ngeLizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo, babengamazi uThixo wabo, bengamazi noYesu, uNyana kaThixo.
Babengayazi intando nentliziyo kaThixo, kwaye babe akaqhelananga neendlela zakhe. Ngoko ke, babengenantliziyo yovelwano ngabo balahlekileyo bendlu kaSirayeli.
Abazange bajongane nabo ngezono zabo kwaye abazange bababizele enguqukweni eluthandweni lukaThixo. Hayi, babengoonyana bomtyholi kwaye balandela intando yakhe ebumnyameni,.
Ngokuba babengoonyana bakaMtyholi, babandulula baza babavumela ukuba baqhubeke bephila esonweni. Ngelixa okwangoku, babagweba kwa kwangaloo misebenzi mibi yokungalungisi, ababekwenza nabo emfihlekweni, Xa kwakungekho mntu ubukeleyo.
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi babenengqiqo yaye bebiza uYesu njengomhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni
Nyana womntu (UYesu) weza esidla, esela, kwaye bathi, nanko umntu olidla-kudla, kunye newayini, umhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni (UMateyu 11:18)
Ke kaloku, babesondela kuye bonke ababuthi berhafu naboni, ukuba bamve. Baye bekrokra abaFarisi nababhali, esithi, Lo mntu wamkela aboni, adle nabo (ULuka 15:1-2)
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi babembona uYesu njengomntu, ababesamkela aboni, badle nababuthi berhafu naboni. Babembiza uYesu ngokuba ngumhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni.
Nangona kunjalo, babengabenyama yaye bekhokelwa zizimvo zabo. Babengayazi intliziyo yababuthi berhafu naboni, kodwa bagweba njengoko babekubona. Abazange babone ababuthi berhafu naboni, owaguqukayo waba ngamalungisa, kodwa bebagqala njengababuthi berhafu naboni, ababesenza imisebenzi engendawo.
Kunjalo ngoba, batyhola uYesu ngokuba nguMhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni.
Sityhilwa njani isono?
Kulawulo lokuqala, UThixo wasityhila isono kumntu wenyama ngomthetho owawumele ukuthanda kukaThixo. Kulawulo lwesibini, UYesu wasityhila isono kumntu wenyama ngobukho bakhe nangamazwi akhe, ezingqinelana nomthetho nentando kaThixo. UYesu akezanga kutshabalalisa umthetho nokuwususa, kodwa kukuwuzalisekisa umthetho. UYesu wada wayihlengahlengisa eminye imithetho waza wayenza yanzima ngakumbi, kwaye yongeza imiyalelo.
Kulawulo lwesithathu, esiphila kuyo, uMoya oyiNgcwele ugweba ihlabathi ngesono kwaye ungqina ngoYesu Krestu. Ngexesha lezi zihlandlo zintathu, intando kaThixo ayikatshintshi kodwa isafana.
Nangona ngumsebenzi wentlawulelo kaYesu Krestu uMnqophiso oMdala uthatyathelw’ indawo nguMnqophiso oMtsha, kwaye i isikhundla somntu owileyo ubuyiselwe kuKristu, ngokuba sisidalwa esitsha; umntu omtsha kuKristu, Ukuthanda kukaThixo kusenjalo.
UYesu wamela kwaye wangqina ngentando kaThixo kwaye wabizela abantu enguqukweni.
UMoya oyiNgcwele, ohlala kwindalo entsha, isamele kwaye ingqina nge intando kaThixo kwaye ujongana nabantu ngezono zabo kwaye ubabizele enguqukweni.
Ngaba uYesu wayengumhlobo wababuthi?
UYesu akazange aZibize ngokuba nguMhlobo wababuthi berhafu, Ke bona abaFarisi nabaSadusi babesithi uYesu ngumhlobo wababuthi berhafu,. Kanye njengoko batshoyo ngoYohane, ukuba wayenaye nomoya ombi. Oko kwakungeyonyani, Kodwa ubuxoki. Basekela uluvo lwabo (ukuba uYesu wayenguMhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni), ngenxa yokuba babona uYesu edlelana nababuthi berhafu. Kodwa aba baqokeleli berhafu naboni bakholelwa kuYesu Kristu baza baguquka.
ngaphandle koko, UYesu akazange ahlangane kunye nabo ngenxa yezizathu zokuzingca.
UYesu akazange aqalise ubuhlobo nababuthi berhafu naboni waza waba nesabelo kwimisebenzi yabo engendawo waza wayithethelela imisebenzi yabo.. Kodwa uYesu wababizela enguqukweni ababuthi berhafu naboni. UYesu unxulumana nabo babesakuba ngababuthi berhafu naboni ngaphambili, abaguqukayo bazisusa izono zabo.
UYesu akazange ayalele abalandeli bakhe ukuba balalanise nehlabathi, ubudlelane nabangakholwayo, ukwakha iibhulorho kunye nehlabathi, kwaye bamanyane nehlabathi.
Kamsinya nje xa umntu eza kuwe malunga nobuhlobo kunye nehlabathi kunye nokukholisa isono kwaye usebenzisa ubuxoki bobungcwele, ukuba uYesu wayengumhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni. Ungabutshabalalisa obu buxoki, ngokubaxelela inyaniso yeLizwi, Oko kukuthi, uYesu ngenene wayedlelana nababuthi berhafu. Kodwa…
Okokuqala, babephuma ngokuzalwa ngokwemvelo kwabantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso kodwa baphambuka kuThixo, weza uYesu ukuba ababuyise. Okwesibini, aba babuthi berhafu naboni babeguqukile, bazisusa izono zabo.
UYesu weza kubiza aboni bendlu kaSirayeli ukuba baguquke kwaye bangabi nanxaxheba kwimisebenzi engendawo yaboni kwaye bayigwebe imisebenzi yabo.. UYesu wayengengoMkhuthazi wesono kodwa ubulungisa.
Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, niyazi ukuba lamthiya uYesu ngaphambi kokuba lithiye nina
Kubhaliwe: Ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile, niyazi ukuba lindithiye kuqala kunani. Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi beliya kubathanda abakhe: kodwa ngokuba ningengabehlabathi, mna ndaninyula mna kulo ihlabathi, ngenxa yoko linithiyile ihlabathi. Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo kuni, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisile Mna, baya kunitshutshisa nani; ukuba baligcinile ilizwi lam, nezakho ziya kukugcina. Kodwa zonke ezi zinto baya kuzenza kuni ngenxa yegama lam, ngokuba bengamazi owandithumayo. Ukuba bendingezanga ndathetha kubo, babengenasono: kungokunje abanasikhuselo sesono sabo. Lowo uthiye mna, uthiye noBawo. Ukuba bendingenzanga phakathi kwabo imisebenzi engenziwanga mntu wumbi, babengenasono: ngoku ke babonile; noko bandithiyile mna noBawo. Kodwa oku kuyenzeka, ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi elibhaliweyo emthethweni wabo, Bandithiya kungekho sizathu (UYohane 15:18-25)
Ihlabathi limthiyile yaye lisamthiyile uYesu, ngokuba uLizwi wayingqina imisebenzi yabo engendawo. Abantu abangabakhe uYesu nabazelwe nguThixo, liya kuthiywa lihlabathi. Kuba ihlabathi lithanda ezo kuphela, abehlabathi, abenza imisebenzi yalo engendawo.
Ukuba awusengowehlabathi kwakhona, kwaye ungabi nanxaxheba kwimisebenzi yakhe, niya kuthiywa lihlabathi.
Kungenxa yokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kwakho, Oyingqinayo imisebenzi engendawo yehlabathi.
UYesu wasiyalela ukuba siphile ubomi obungcwele ngokuvumelana nokuthanda kukaThixo (ekwakuthanda kukaYesu), kunye nokumela, Shumayela kwaye Uzise UBukumkani BukaThixo NgoMhlaba.
Oko kuquka ukushunyayelwa komnqamlezo nobizo lwenguquko nokususwa kwezono, ukuze abalahlekileyo basindiswe.
UYesu akazange athi makube nobudlelwane nehlabathi (aboni), yiba nenxaxheba kwimisebenzi yabo kwaye uphile ngendlela ihlabathi eliphila ngayo esonweni. Kodwa uYesu wathi yiyani ehlabathini nishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo kuyo yonke indalo, nokubabizela enguqukweni nokubafundisa zonke izinto awathi uYesu wazifundisa (Phawula 16:15)
Kodwa okoko nje amaKristu ekholelwa ubuxoki, ukuba akunamsebenzi nokuba uphila njani kwaye uvumelekile ukuba uphile esonweni, kwaye ngenxa yobu buxoki, abazisusi izono ebomini babo, bangayishumayela njani ivangeli kaYesu Krestu kwaye babize aboni enguqukweni nasekususweni kwezono?
Angathini amaKristu ukuba ngamangqina kwaye abizele abantu enguqukweni ukuba abaguqukanga ngokwabo?
Angathini amaKristu ukuba ngamangqina kaYesu Krestu kwaye abize abantu abaphila esonweni enguqukweni ukuba abaguqukanga ngokwabo? Kwaye banokulindela njani kwabanye, into abangayenziyo ngokwabo? Yiyo loo nto intshumayelo yenguquko kunye nokususwa kwezono kungasashunyayelwanga kwakhona.
