Xa uYesu noBharabhas baberholelwa phambi kwabantu bakwaSirayeli, abantu banikwa ukhetho lokukhulula uYesu okanye uBharabhas. Abantu bakhetha ukumkhulula uBharabhas. Ngempembelelo ye (unqulo) iinkokeli zabantu, abantu abazange bakhethe okulungileyo nobulungisa ngokukhulula uMntu ongenatyala uYesu Kristu, kodwa banyula ububi nokungalungisi, ngokukhulula umbanjwa onetyala uBharabhas, owayelisela nesibulala-mntu, owayefanelwe sisigwebo sokufa. Kwaye ngoko ke uBharabhas owayenetyala, owayefanele ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni wakhululwa waza uYesu owayemsulwa watyakatywa waza wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni(UMateyu 27:15-26, Phawula 15:6-15, ULuka 23:13-25, UYohane 18:38-40).
Mininzi imiba yesi siganeko, kuquka nezi zimbini zilandelayo, oko kukuthi, ukuba abantu baphenjelelwe yi (unqulo) iinkokheli zaza ke zakhetha ububi endaweni yokulungileyo zaza zamkhulula umenzi-bubi; umoni, wawagweba amalungisa, nokuba uYesu Kristu wathabatha indawo yombanjwa uBharabhas, umoni; umaphuli-mthetho, owayefanele ukubethelelwa waza wasithabathela kuye isohlwayo, wakhululwa uBharabhas.
UYesu okanye uBharabhas?
Ke kaloku ngemithendeleko imithendeleko wayebakhululela umbanjwa abe mnye, nabasukuba befuna. Kwaye kukho ke umntu ekuthiwa nguBharabhas, ababekhonkxiwe nabanye abenzi besaqunge, ababebulele abantu kwimvukelo. Sankqangaza isihlwele, saqala ukucela, ukuba enze ngoko abehlala esenza ngako kubo. Wabaphendula ke uPilato, esithi, Ndiyathanda ke ukuba ndinikhululele ukumkani wamaYuda?? Kuba ebesazi ukuba ababingeleli abakhulu abo bamnikele ngomona. Ke bona ababingeleli abakhulu babaxhokonxa abantu, ukuze kanye abakhululele uBharabhas. Wabuya waphendula ke uPilato wathi kubo, Ningathini na ke ngoko kulowo nithi unguKumkani wamaYuda?? Babuya bakhala kwakhona, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni. Wathi ke uPilato kubo, Ngoba, enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona bakhalayo ngakumbi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni. Wenjenjalo ke uPilato, ukulungele ukwanela abantu, wabakhululela uBharabhas, wamkhulula uYesu, akuba emtyakathile, ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni (Phawula 15:6-15)
Kukho abantu, abangayiqondiyo into yokuba xa abantu bakaThixo banikwa ukhetho phakathi kokukhululwa kukaYesu okanye uBharabhas, abantu bakhetha ukumkhulula uBharabhas owayenetyala, ogama lithetha unyana kayise okanye utitshala, endaweni yokukhulula iNdoda engenatyala uYesu Kristu, kwaye ukhomba abantu ngomnwe wokugweba.
Kodwa akunjalo, ukuba kwixesha lethu abaninzi benza into efanayo baze bamgatye uYesu Kristu; ilizwi, kwaye wanyula umoni kunye nesono ngempembelelo yamazwi kasathana nangokukholwa nokulandela amazwi akhe enze imisebenzi yenyama evuma isono.?
Abakhethi ukuzithoba kuThixo kwaye bahambe ngokuthobela iLizwi emva koMoya ngokuthanda kukaThixo kwaye benze imisebenzi yobulungisa., kodwa bayawagatya amazwi kaThixo baza bakhetha ukuhamba ngokwentando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama, nokwenza imisebenzi yenyama, nizingise esonweni.
Kwaye abaninzi bayasivuma isono kunye/okanye bazingise esonweni
UThixo ukhanyiso kwaye kuye akukho bumnyama
Nguwo lo umyalezo esiwuvileyo kuye, ndikuxelele, ukuba uThixo ukhanyisele, kwaye kuye akukho bumnyama kwaphela. Ukuba sithi sinobudlelane naye, kwaye uhambe ebumnyameni, siyaxoka, kwaye ayiyinyani: Kodwa ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni, Njengoko ekukukhanya, Sinobudlelane omnye komnye, negazi likaYesu Kristu uNyana wakhe lisihlambulula kuso sonke isono (1 UYohane 1:5-7)
23: Kuba isono kukunxaxha komthetho. Kwaye niyazi ukuba ubonakalisiwe ukuba azisuse izono zethu; kwaye kuye akukho sono kuye. Bonke abo bahlala kuye, benokoni: Bonke aboni abangambonanga, Ayamazi (1 UYohane 3:4-6).
Kodwa wonke umntu, lowo uzelweyo nguThixo, wabamkela ubume bakhe, waba ngowakhe, Ungahambi ebumnyameni uzingise esonweni. Kuba kuye akukho bumnyama kwaye ukuba sikuye, ngoko akuyi kubakho bumnyama kuthi kwaye asiyi kuyenza imisebenzi yobumnyama.
Wonke umntu, lowo unyamezelayo esonweni, uhamba ebumnyameni, akabi sekukhanyeni.
Ukuba umntu uthi hamba ekukhanyeni, kodwa yenza imisebenzi yenyama kwaye ungaguquki, yandule ke imisebenzi engalungisiyo yomntu, ibonakale ukuba ungowehlabathi; ubukumkani bobumnyama, ingekuko kuYesu Kristu nakubukumkani bukaThixo (1 UYohane 1:5-11).
ILizwi lithi, ukuba uThixo akasibizelanga ekungcoleni, Kodwa kubungcwele. Yena, ke ngoko, loo nto idelayo, Ukudelela akukho ndoda, Kodwa nguThixo, owasinika nokusinika uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele (1 KwabaseTesalonika 4:7)
Xa usala ukuzithoba kwiLizwi likaThixo nakwintando yaKhe kwaye uhlale uphila ekungcoleni; Isono Nonuti, ngoko aniyi kwahluka ehlabathini. Ngokuba abo, Ngoobani Ilizwe, bangabesizukulwana somntu owileyo baze bahambe njengeentshaba zikaThixo neLizwi lakhe njengabakreqi bomthetho kaThixo ebumnyameni baze baphile ngokwenyama ekungcoleni. (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ukuba amaKrestu aphila njengehlabathi, kufuneka ihlabathi liguquke?‘).
Lowo wenza ubulungisa ulilungisa, njengokuba elungile, ke lowo usenzayo isono ungokaMtyholi; ngokuba uMtyholi wona kwasekuqalekeni
Bantwana abancinci, Makungabikho mntu ukhathalelayo: Owenza ubulungisa ulilungisa, njengokuba elungile. Lowo wenza isono esenziwa nguMtyholi; Kuba uMtyholi wonile kwasekuqalekeni. Ngenxa yoku Unyana kaThixo wabonakaliswa, ukuze ayonakalise imisebenzi kaMtyholi. Bonke abo bazelwe nguThixo abayi kwenza isono,; ngokuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kuye: kwaye akanakona, ngokuba ezelwe nguThixo. Babonakala ngaloo nto ke abantwana bakaThixo, kunye nabantwana bakaMtyholi: Athi ke engabenzi ubulungisa, akangoThixo, Lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe (1 UYohane 3:7-10)
Kwaye abaninzi bakholelwa ubuxoki bobumnyama kwaye bakhetha ukuzithoba kwimvelo yenyama yenyama baze bathobele ukuthanda kwenyama kwaye benze imisebenzi yobumnyama., abamthobela ngayo uyise, umtyholi, ongumgqithi womthetho kaThixo, olixoki, isela, nombulali.
Endaweni yokukhetha uYesu Kristu; ilizwi, nokuthobela iLizwi nokwenza iLizwi, bakhetha kwaye bathobela umtyholi nenyama enesono kwaye ngenxa yoko, babonisa ukuba bathanda isono nokufa kunobulungisa nobomi.
Oku akwenzeki kuphela kubomi bamakholwa amaninzi, kodwa nakubomi babashumayeli abaninzi, abadala, kunye neenkokeli zamabandla, abo bamelwe kukuba bazelwe ngokutsha nangomoya, bafanele bahambe njengoonyana bakaThixo abaqolileyo ngokoMoya ekuthandeni kukaThixo., kodwa endaweni yoko, abenyama kwaye bahamba ngokwenyama kwaye benze intando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama kunye a.o. ubuxoki, ukukopela, ukuba, isiselo, zibandakanyeke ekungcoleni ngokwesondo, uhenyuzo, ukukrexeza, kwaye uqhawulo-mtshato kwaye wenze ngathi yonke into iqhelekile.
Kwaye ukuba bayabanjwa kwaye abantu bajongane nokuziphatha kwabo kwaye bajongane nabo ngezenzo zabo, iitalente zabo zokusebenza ziyavela kwaye babonisa ukuzisola okuthile kwaye baguquke kwaye bakholelwa ngabantu kwaye bayabuyiselwa kwaye emva kwexesha elithile, babuyela kwisimilo esifanayo kwaye benze isono esinye kwakhona kwaye bahambe ngendlela efanayo nangaphambili, apho banganeli nje ukungcolisa kwaye bonakalise ibandla, kodwa enze intlekisa ngevangeli kaYesu Krestu kwaye abethelele uYesu Krestu kwakhona(Funda kwakhona: ‘Ngaba unokubethelela uYesu kwakhona kwaye umenze ihlazo ekuhleni?‘, ‘‘Musani ukubeka izandla mntwini ngesiquphe, wayethetha ukuthini uPawulos ngaloo nto?, kwaye ‘Ngaba unokubandakanyeka kwisono samanye amakholwa?‘).
Iicawe ezininzi azisikhathaleli isono
Iicawe ezininzi azikhathali ngesono kwaye zivuma isono ebandleni kwaye zivumela abantu ukuba bahambe esonweni kunye / okanye babuyele esonweni esinye ngokuphindaphindiweyo., nokuba bakubulungiseleli.
Endaweni yokusigweba isono nokwenza ngokweLizwi nokubizela enguqukweni nasekususweni kwesono, bayawagxeka amakholwa ebandla, abalithobelayo iLizwi basigwebe isono, kunye nokuyingqina, basebenzisa amagama angcwele kunye nemibandela evela eBhayibhileni, ezithatyathwe emxholweni, njengothando lobuxoki, ubabalo, kunye nokuxolelwa (Funda kwakhona: ‘Kuthetha ukuthini ukunikela umntu kuSathana?', ‘Yintoni uthando lobuxoki?’ kwaye 'Ulahlekile kulwandle lwenceba').
Ke ngoko baguqula ububi bube kokulungileyo nokulungileyo bube bububi nangenxa yokuziphatha kwabo kwenyama yobuntu, bayaligatya iLizwi bayijike inyaniso kaThixo bayenze ubuxoki, banqule bakhonze umoni nezono zabo, banike umtyholi amandla., oqhubeka eyakhe umsebenzi owonakalisayo.
Ubabalo lukaThixo alunakuvumela ukona
Siza kuthini emva koko? Siza kuqhubeka esonweni, Olo lubabalo lwaluphele? Makube lee oko. Saya kuthi, abafileyo kwisono, phila nangakumbi? Anazi na, Oko abaninzi kuthi babhaptizwe kuYesu Krestu babhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? (AmaRoma 6:1-3)
Yintoni ke? sone na, ngokuba singekho phantsi komthetho, kodwa phantsi kobabalo? Makube lee oko. Anazi na, kuba lowo nizigqala kuzo, ukuba nithobele, Abakhonzi bakhe nina niye nimthobela kuye; Nokuba yesono kukufa, okanye ukuthobela ubulungisa? (AmaRoma 6:15-16)
Kodwa uYesu akazange athabathe indawo yomntu emnqamlezweni, ukuze umntu ahlale esonweni. Ubabalo lukaThixo kunye negazi likaYesu Krestu azinamvume yokuzingisa esonweni.
Kanye njengokuba isono salawula njengokumkani de kwaba sekufeni kwindoda endala, ubabalo lulawula ngobulungisa kumntu omtsha, luse ebomini obungunaphakade ngoYesu Kristu nomsebenzi wakhe ogqibeleleyo wentlawulelo.
UYesu uyithathile indawo ka (iwile) indoda emnqamlezweni, ukuze ngako ukwenziwa ngokutsha kuKristu; ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka kumoya kwabafileyo, (iwile) umntu wayeza kuphiliswa (yenziwe yaphela, sixolelanisiwe) nikhululeke ngokwenene. Uxolelwe noThixo kwaye ukhululekile kumandla esono, nikhululekile egunyeni likaMtyholi nobukumkani bobumnyama, apho kulawula ukufa.
Kanye njengokuba kwenzekayo kuBharabhas, isela, nombulali. Umoni, umaphuli-mthetho, owayefunyenwe enetyala kwaye efanelwe sigwebo sokufa, wakhululwa waza uYesu wathabatha indawo kaBharabhas waza wathwala isono (ukwaphulwa komthetho) nesohlwayo sesono, oko kukufa.
UYesu Krestu wanikela ngobomi Bakhe waza wafela uluntu
Kodwa into eyayingaziwa mntu, yayikukuba uYesu akazange nje athabathe indawo kaBharabhas aze athwale isohlwayo sesono, oko kukufa, kodwa uYesu wathabatha indawo yalo lonke uluntu.
UYesu Kristu wanikela ngobomi bakhe waza wafa emnqamlezweni ngenxa yabo bonke aboni, abathe bazalwa yimbewu ka-Adam, bephuma kwisizukulwana sendoda enkulu, kwaye ngokuva amazwi kaThixo kunye nokujongana nezono zabo kunye nemvelo yesono kunye nemo yabo njengomoni bayaguquka kwaye babeke ubomi babo phantsi kwaye balandele uYesu Krestu., uNyana kaThixo kunye neLizwi eliPhilayo (Funda kwakhona: ‘Umntu kufuneka ahlawule ixabiso!.').
Ngaba uyamthanda uYesu Kristu?
Isela lifiki, kodwa ngenxa yokuba, kunye nokubulala, kwaye ukutshabalalisa: Ndize ukuze babe nobomi, kwaye ukuze babe nayo kakhulu (UYohane 10:10)
Ukuba uyandithanda, Gcina imiyalelo yam (UYohane 14:15)
Njengoko uBawo wandithandayo nam, nam ndikuthandile: Hlalani eluthandweni lwam. Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, nihlale eluthandweni lwakhe (UYohane 15:9-10)
Ukuba uyamthanda uYesu Krestu, uya kuzithoba kuYe kwaye ugcine imiyalelo Yakhe. Kuba uYesu uthi, ukuba niyamthanda, niyigcine imithetho yakhe. Kwaye okoko nje uyigcina imiyalelo yakhe uya kuhlala eluthandweni lwakhe.
Kodwa ukuba uthando lwakho ngoYesu Krestu luba dikidiki kwaye awuchithi xesha kunye Naye kwaye ungakwenzi oko likutshoyo iLizwi., kodwa zibeke phambili ezinye izinto, akuyi kuthatha ixesha elide ngaphambi kokuba ubuyele kubomi bakho obudala kwaye ukhethe ukukholisa inyama yakho endaweni yoMoya.
UYesu okanye uBharabhas, ukhetha bani?
Kwakamsinyane nje ukuba umntu abuyele kubomi bakhe bakudala aze aphulaphule inkanuko neminqweno yenyama yaye ukhokelwa yimimoya ehlwempuzekileyo yehlabathi aze enze imisebenzi yenyama., umntu ukhetha ukuthobela nokukhonza usathana ngesono nokumala uYesu Kristu; ilizwi.
Kwaye ngoko umntu ukhetha umtyholi, ongumgqithi-mthetho; isela nombulali, ngaphezulu kukaYesu Kristu, uNyana kaThixo noMniki wobomi obungunaphakade, unyula ukufa kunobomi.
