UYohane umbhaptizi wamnikela ubungqina bukaYesu Krestu, wathi, Le yayingubani endandithetha ngayo, Lowo uza emva kwam ukhetha phambi kwam: kuba ebengaphambi kwam. Kwaye inzaliseko yakhe siyifumene, kunye nobabalo ngenxa yenceba. Kuba umthetho wawiswa nguMoses, Kodwa ubabalo nenyaniso zeza ngoYesu Krestu (UYohane 1:15-17). Yintoni uYohane 1:17 thetha, Umthetho wanikwa nguMoses, Kodwa ubabalo nenyaniso zeza ngoYesu Krestu?
UThixo wathumela uMoses ukuba ahlangule abantu bakhe emandleni kaFaro
Wathetha uThixo kuMoses, Yathi kuye, NdinguNdikhoyo: Ndaza ndabonakala ku-Abraham, UIsake, nakuYakobi, Ngegama likaThixo uSomandla, Kodwa ngegama lam elinguYehova bendingaziwa kubo. Kwaye ndimise umnqophiso wam nabo, ukubanika umhlaba wakwaKanan, ilizwe le-pilgrimage yabo, apho babengabaziyo. Ndikuvile nokuncwina koonyana bakaSirayeli,, Ngubani na amaYiputa ahlala ebukhobokeni; Ndiwukhumbule umnqophiso wam (iEksodus 6:2-5)
UThixo wenza umnqophiso no-Abraham nembewu yakhe. Njengomqondiso walo mnqophiso, UThixo wasungula ulwaluko.
Ulwaluko lwenyama lwenzeka ngomhla wesibhozo. Yayingumqondiso womnqophiso phakathi koThixo no-Abraham nakwimbewu yakhe. (Funda kwakhona: Ulwaluko kuMnqophiso oMtsha)
UThixo wayeno-Abraham, kunye nonyana wesithembiso uIsake, Nyana wakhe uYakobi I-Israyeliët) Yeyiphi imbewu yakhe yazalwa.
Oonyana abalishumi elinambini bakaYakobi (Sirayeli ) baba zizizwe ezilishumi elinazibini zakwaSirayeli. Irubhu, Simeon, ILevi, UYuda, Zebhulon, I-Issakar, Kwaye, Gad, I-aser, Naphtali, UJoseph, kunye noBenjamin.
Ukusuka kwizizwe ezilishumi elinambini zakwaSirayeli, UThixo wakhetha isizwe sakwaLevi, Ayeza apho umninimlili wakwaSirayeli.
Lo mhlanguli uya kuyikhulula indlu kaSirayeli eyayihlala ebukhobokeni nobukhoboka phantsi kolawulo lukaFaro. Umhlanguli, abenyulwe nguThixo, wanyulwa nguMoses.
UMoses wamenzela uThixo. Wanyula uMoses njengoMlamli phakathi koThixo nabantu bakhe. UThixo wabahlangula ngoMoses kwaye wenza imiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga ezizandleni zikaMoses.
UThixo wabonakalisa ubukhulu bakhe ngemiqondiso nemimangaliso
Oonyana bakaSirayeli babengamaNgqina emiqondiso kaThixo; Izibetho aziziseleyo uYehova kwiJiphutha. BabengamaNgqina abasindiswa nguThixo, ukhuseleko, Kwaye yonke imimangaliso eyenziwa nguThixo ezandleni zikaMoses.
UThixo wahlulahlula amanzi oLwandle Olubomvu. Wenza umhlaba owomileyo wolwandle ukuba enze indlela yoonyana bakaSirayeli. Wamisa utshaba lwabo; Umkhosi kaFaro phakathi koLwandle oluBomvu. UThixo wakhokela abantu bakhe ngeNtsika yoMlilo nentsika yelifu. Wenza amanzi akrakra. U-Thixo wathabatha i-mana evela ezulwini (isonka esivela ezulwini) kwaye wanika amanzi etyeni. UThixo woyisa ama-Amaleki.
Ngayo yonke le miqondiso kunye nemimangaliso, UThixo wazibonisa njengeNkosi yabo (NguYehova); UThixo uSomandla noMdali wezulu nomhlaba. UThixo wazibonakalisa njengomkhululi wabo, Umphilisi, Umalusi, Umboneleli, Ijaji, Igorha, kunye noMkhuseli.
Yonke imiqondiso ayenziwa nguThixo eYiputa phambi kwamehlo kaFaro, abantu baseYiputa, Oonyana bakaSirayeli, Kwaye yonke imimangaliso eyenziwa nguThixo phambi kwamehlo oonyana bakwaSirayeli ngexesha lokufuduka kwabo kwaye bahlala entlango, wangqina ukuba ngubani (kwaye isekhona).
Kodwa uThixo wanika abantu abaninzi ngenxa yabantu bakhe. Wanika okungakumbi ukuzibonisa kwaye wahlula abantu bakhe kuzo zonke ezinye izizwe kwaye bahamba njengabantwana bakhe emhlabeni.
UMthetho wanikwa nguMoses ovela kuThixo
Emva kokuba uThixo ebonakalise ubukhulu bakhe kwimiqondiso (Izibetho), Ukuhlangulwa koonyana bakaSirayeli kubuNcedo lukaFaro, nemimangaliso entlango, UThixo wazityhila ngelizwi lakhe.
UThixo wenza Intliziyo Yakhe, intando, kunye nendalo eyaziwa ngabantu bakhe. Uyenzile le nto, Ngamazwi akhe nangokunika umthetho uMoses.
Nangona umthetho awukwazi ukubuyisela (hlala) Imeko yoonyana bakaSirayeli, XHASA, kwaye uzithethelele kwaye ubaxolelanise noThixo, Ngokuthobela umthetho, izono zabo ziya kuba (okwethutyana) ikhutshiwe ngemibingelelo kunye negazi lezilwanyana, kwaye baya kuba ngcwele (cwaka kuThixo).
Ngokugcina imiyalelo kaThixo, Bahamba bodwa phambi kweNkosi, Ngelixa babeseyinto yakudala yenyama; umntu owileyo (Owu. iEksodus 13:9-10, iDuteronomi 4; 28:9-14, IZenzo 13:39, AmaRoma 7:12 ).
Ngokuthobela izwi leNkosi nangokugcina imiyalelo yakhe kunye nokukhumbula umnqophiso, Oonyana bakaSirayeli babeya kuba buncwane obukhethekileyo kuThixo ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu. Baza kuThixo ubukumkani bababingeleli nohlanga olungcwele (iEksodus 19:4-6). (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba amaKristu aphila njengesizukulwana esinyuliweyo, ububingeleli basebukhosini, Uhlanga olungcwele, kunye nabantu abangaqhelekanga?).
Ke uThixo wamnika uMoses, umlamli womnqophiso omdala, Umthetho kunye nemiyalelo yakhe, imiz, amaziko, imithendeleko, kwaye (okanye idini, ukutya, ukucocwa) imithetho, Waza wamisela ububingeleli beerhafu ezazibekwe kwindoda endala ye-carnal (umntu owileyo), Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli.
UThixo wazityhila ngomthetho kaMoses
U-Thixo wabhala ngomnwe wakhe, IMiyalelo Elishumi kwiitafile ezimbini zelitye. Imiyalelo Elishumi yenze ukuthanda kukaThixo. Apho akukho mntu unokuze athi, ukuba babengazi ukuthanda kukaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Kutheni le nto uThixo wabhala umthetho kwiitafile zelitye?).
UThixo wazityhila ngomthetho kaMoses. Lo mthetho, ethathwe nguThixo, Wamnika uMoses kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Inike ulwazi ngokulungileyo nokubi. Umthetho kaMoses watyhila isono ngobulungisa bukaThixo kwaye wajongana nesono.
Umthetho; ILizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo likaThixo lalinguMfundisi kwaye lagcina abantu abanyulwe nguThixo ngokuthobela amazwi akhe.
ILizwi elibhaliweyo likaThixo lalisebenza de kufike uMesiya; ILizwi LikaThixo.
Ukuza kukaMesiya
Kungoko emfini ehlabathini, Utsho, Umbingelelo nomnikelo ungabi nako, Kodwa wena undilungiselele umzimba: Amadini atshiswayo nemibingelelo yesono awuzange ube mnandi. Emva koko ndatsho njalo, Low, ndiyeza (Kumthamo wencwadi ubhalwe ngam,) ukwenza ukuthanda kwakho, Owu Thixo.
Ngasentla xa wayesithi, Umbingelelo nedini namadini atshiswayo kunye nomnikelo wesono ungabi, engakhange athandeke kuyo; ezibonelelwa ngumthetho; Emva koko wathi, Low, Ndiza kwenza ukuthanda kwakho, Owu Thixo. Uthatha ibokuqala, ukuba amisele owesibini. Siza kungcwaliswa ngaso ngokudla komzimba kaYesu Krestu kube kanye (Hebhere 10:5-10)
UMesiya, Awathembisayo uThixo ukuba athumele emhlabeni, Emva kokuwa, yayi (kwaye isekhona) Unyana wakhe; UYESU khristu.
KuMnqophiso oMdala, UThixo wakhetha wamisela uMoses ukuba abahlangule oonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bahlangule oonyana bakaSirayeli, bangamandla kaFaro. UThixo akathumeli kuphela uMoses ngenxa yokubathanda abantwana bakhe, ukubazisa. Kodwa ke uThixo wabathanda abantwana bakhe umthetho; ILizwi lakhe elibhaliweyo. Umthetho wabagcina abantwana bakhe, bakhusela abantwana bakhe ebubini, kwaye ubasindise. (Funda kwakhona: UThixo unesicwangciso sobomi bakho).
KuMnqophiso Omtsha, UThixo wanika uthando ngoluntu wakhe unyana wakhe uYesu Kristu. UThixo wathumela uYesu emhlabeni ukuba ahlangule (iwile) Indoda evela kumandla kaMtyholi nesono nokufa. Wathumela uYesu ukuba aphilise kwaye avume umntu kuThixo, kwaye ninike (ngonaphakade) ubomi, Ngokholo kunye nokuthobela kuye.
ILizwi lenziwe inyama
UYesu weza kwiBOMPO BIKAYE, Ngubani osezulwini, emhlabeni. Kwaye wazalwa emzimbeni womntu. UYesu nguLizwi wenza inyama.
Wayengumfanekiso kaThixo waza weza emhlabeni ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Kuthetha ukuthini ukuthobela uThixo?).
UYesu wabonisa ulwandiso kwaye washumayela inyaniso kaThixo. Wenza ukuthanda noBukumkani bakhe kwaye bawabenza baphile.
UYesu wayenye noBawo. Ngenxa yoko uYesu wathetha amazwi kayise (Owu. UYohane 5:30; 14:10).
Njengoko uMoses watyhila ukuthanda kukaBawo ngomthetho (ILizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo likaThixo) Kwindlu kaSirayeli, ngesandla sikaMoses senza imiqondiso emikhulu nemimangaliso, UYesu (ILizwi LikaThixo) yenziwe (Intando ye) Utata owaziwa ngamazwi akhe kunye nemisebenzi yakhe, Kwaye uThixo wenza imiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga ezizandleni zikaYesu.
Xa uPhillip wacela uYesu ukuba ambonise uYise, Wathi uYesu, Ngubani na ondibonileyo, umbonile utata (Owu. UYohane 5:30; 14:6-11, IZenzo 1-:38).
UYesu wahamba ethobela ukuthanda kukaThixo
UYesu wayengoMoya ngokomoya kwaye emva koko emva komoya ngokuzithoba nangokuthobela ukuthanda kukaBawo. Ngokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, UYesu wawufezekisa umthetho kaThixo.
UYesu wayeliZibulo lendalo entsha (Ukuzalwa kwamanzi noMoya). Wayengonyana wokuqala kaThixo, ohambe ngenyaniso negunya likaYise, Ukushumayela Inyaniso NoBukumkani. NgoMoya oyiNgcwele, UYesu Wayenza Inyani Yokomoya NoBukumkani BukaThixo. Watyhila, wabuzisa ubukumkani ebantwini. (Funda kwakhona: Yintsomi yendalo yokomoya okanye inyani?).
UYesu wabutyhila ubumnyama ngokuhamba emva komoya ngokuthobela uyise ngokulunga, Ubulungisa, kunye neNyaniso. Ngokushumayela ngenyaniso nokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, Wayizisa imisebenzi yobumnyama elukhanyiso.
UYesu wachitha ixesha elininzi notata kwaye wayehlala emanyene noYise. WayeliNgqina likaYise noBukumkani bakhe. Ngokuthobela kwakhe uYise, UYesu wahamba Indlela yokubandezeleka Oko kukhokelele emnqamlezweni nasekufeni.
Ngenxa yothando ngoyise nabantu bakhe, UYesu uhamba ngendlela, yenzelwe aboni (umntu owileyo).
UYesu wayezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele
UYesu, Owayezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wakwazi ukuya ngaloo ndlela. Ngokuthobela kwakhe uThixo, UYesu wenza indawo yokutshintsha kwimbali yendoda ewileyo. Indoda ewileyo, Ngubani obanjiwe kwinyama enesono kunye nesono sobomi bahlukane noThixo.
Kuba ngokungathobeli kuka-Adam wokuqala uAdam, unyana kaThixo, wonke umntu uzalelwe njengomoni. Wonke umntu uphila ngokwahlukane noThixo ngesono. Kodwa, Ngokuthobela uAdam wokugqibela, UYesu Krestu uNyana kaThixo, wonke umntu wafumana amandla, Ngobabalo kunye nenyaniso kaThixo, Ukugwetyelwa liGazi likaYesu Krestu. Ukubuyiselwa (ukuphiliswa), kwaye faka ukuphumla kukaThixo, kwaye nixolelaniswe noThixo, bahlala bemanyene naye ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Akukho mntu unokufumana le nto kwaye akukho mntu unokuzisa le nto malunga. Le ayiyiyo imisebenzi yakho. Oku kunxamnye nobabalo lukaThixo. Ngomsebenzi ohlangulayo woYesu Krestu, uNyana kaThixo.
Ukungena Ukuphumla kukaThixo
KuMnqophiso oMdala, Umthetho kaMoses wagcina abantu bakaThixo. Imisebenzi yoMthetho ikhokelela ekuhambeni kobulungisa kwaye bagcina abantu, abazelwe phantsi komthetho. Kodwa umthetho akakwazanga ukuhlangula abantu ngenxa yobumnyama, isono, nokufa. Akukho mntu unokuphiliswa kwiLizwe lakhe kwaye agwetyelwe yimisebenzi yomthetho. Akukho namnye unokungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo, aze axolelaniswe noThixo, ahlala naye, yimisebenzi yomthetho. Ngokugcina umthetho nayo yonke imithetho yayo, Imiyalelo, imiz, amasiko, Imibingelelo.
Oku akutshintshanga. Nangona umthetho utsho intando kaThixo, UMthetho wawungakhokelela kuThixo. UYESU khristu, kunye nokholo kunye nokuhlaziywa kuye, khokelela kuThixo.
UYesu yindlela, inyani, kunye noBomi. Uvuko kunye nobomi. NguYesu kuphela nguYesu Krestu kunye negazi lakhe unokugwetyelwa kwaye axolelaniswe noThixo kwaye angenise ukuphumla kukaThixo. (Owu. UYohane 14:6, AmaRoma 3; 8, Hebhere 3,4).
Ubabalo nenyaniso kaThixo ngoYesu Kristu lusindisa umntu kwaye ikhokelela kubomi banaphakade
Kuba ubabalo lukaThixo olusindisayo usindiso lubonakale kubo bonke abantu,, Sisifundisa loo nto, Ukukhanyela ukungaduki kunye neenkanuko zehlabathi, Sifanele siphile ngokukodwa, ngobulungisa, kunye nokuhlonela uThixo, Kweli xesha langoku; Ukujonga ithemba elisikelelekileyo, Kwaye ukubonakala kobuqaqawuli boThixo omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uYesu Kristu; Abazinikele kuthi, ukuze asikhulule, sikhulule ubugwenxa bonke, kwaye uzihlambulule ngokwakhe abantu abangaqhelekanga, Inzondelelo yemisebenzi elungileyo (uTito 2:11-14)
Kodwa ke emva koko kwabonakala ububele nothando lukaThixo, uMsindisi wethu ebantwini, kungengamisebenzi yobulungisa esiyenzileyo, Kodwa ngokwenceba yakhe wasisindisayo, ngokuhlanjwa kokuzalwa ngokutsha, nokuhlaziywa koMoya oyiNgcwele; awasithulula phezu kwethu ngokobutyebi, ngoYesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu; Oko kugwetyelwa ngobabalo lwaKhe, sibe ziindlalifa zobomi obungunaphakade ngokwethemba (uTito 3:4-7)
Ngethemba elibekelwe ezulwini, apho niyivilenga ngaphambili kwilizwi lenyaniso yeVangeli; Oko kweza kuwe, Njengoko ikwilizwe liphela; kwaye uvelisa iziqhamo, njengoko injenga kuwe, ukusukela ngala mhla uvileyo kuwo, Kwaye wazazi ubabalo lukaThixo kwinyaniso (KwabaseKolose 1:5-6)
UYesu Krestu yiNyaniso. UYesu washumayela inyaniso kaThixo kwaye watyhileka waza wabonakalisa ubabalo nothando lwabantu bonke
NgoYesu Krestu, Ubabalo lukaThixo lubonakala kubo bonke abantu.
Kuphela ngobabalo kunye nenyaniso kaThixo ngoYesu Kristu, nangokholo, nokreyitha kuye, Abantu banokuhlangulwa kwinyama yakhe yesono namandla obumnyama kwaye basindiswe esihogweni, kwaye kufanelekile, Ngenisa ukuphumla kukaThixo, kwaye ufumane ubomi banaphakade.
Ngokusweleka kwenyama kuKristu, Umntu ushiya ubumnyama nomthetho wesono nokufa akunagunya kwenye. Kuba umthetho wesono nokufa ulawula kwi (unesono) inyama. (Funda kwakhona: Yintoni imfihlo yomthetho?).
Umoya womntu uphindaphiswe nguMoya kwaye unyuka kwabafileyo. Lo mntu uba yindalo entsha kwaye ungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Ukususela kuloo mzuzu, Umthetho womoya wobomi uyalawula kwindoda entsha.
NguMoya oyiNgcwele, Imithetho kaThixo ibhaliwe kwintliziyo yendalo entsha
Ngokutshintsha kwendalo kunye nokunganyaniseki komoya oyingcwele, Imithetho kaThixo ibhaliwe kwintliziyo yendoda entsha (indalo entsha). Ngenxa yoko, Indoda entsha iya kuwuzalisekisa umthetho kaThixo ngokholo nangokuhamba emva komoya ngokuthobela uThixo neLizwi lakhe (Owu. AmaRoma 2:14-16, Hebhere 8:10-13; 10:15-18).
Nangona indoda entsha isenza, kuba ukholo ngaphandle kwemisebenzi kukufa, Le misebenzi ayifumaneki kwinyama (Ulwazi lomntu kunye nobulumko, isakhono, Iindlela zeNdalo, ubuchule, kunye nendalo). Kodwa bafumana umoya, Ngokholo kuYesu Krestu kunye negunya lomoya oyingcwele.
Yintoni uYohane 1:17 thetha, Umthetho wanikwa nguMoses, Kodwa ubabalo nenyaniso zeza ngoYesu Krestu?
Waza umthetho wawiswa nguMoses, Kodwa ubabalo nenyaniso zeza ngoYesu Krestu. UYesu wabonisa ulwandiso kwaye watyhila inyaniso kaThixo. Waba yindlela yosindiso de kuphila ubomi obungunaphakade, Ngubani okholwayo.
UJohn akazange angqine, kwaye ikhala, esithi, Le yayingubani endandithetha ngayo, Lowo uzayo emva kwam ukhetha phambi kwam: kuba ebengaphambi kwam. Kwaye inzaliseko yakhe siyifumene, kunye nobabalo ngenxa yenceba. Kuba umthetho wawiswa nguMoses, Kodwa ubabalo nenyaniso zeza ngoYesu Krestu. Akukho mntu owakha wambona uThixo nangaliphi na ixesha; UNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo, Eso sifuba sikaYise, Uye wamxelela (UYohane 1:15-18)
Ubabalo nenyaniso kaThixo yeza ngoYesu Krestu kwaye ugcine abantu. Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni ukuba abantu baluvale ubabalo nenyaniso eye yeza ngoYesu Krestu?
Kwenzeka ntoni xa ulidela ubabalo nenyaniso eye yeza ngoYesu Krestu?
Kuba xa sizona ngabom emva kokuba sifumene ulwazi lweNyaniso, Kusenokungabikho kwezono zabo, Kodwa umntu owoyikayo owoyikayo ngomgwebo kunye nomsindo womlilo, Ize idle abachasi. Lowo wamcekisa uMoses’ Umthetho wasweleka ngaphandle kwenceba phantsi kwamangqina amabini okanye amathathu: Yimalini eyohlwaya ngayo, Masithi, Uya kucingelwa ukuba kufanelekile, Ngubani na onyathelwe unyana kaThixo, kwaye ubalwe negazi lomnqophiso, awazingcwaliswa ngayo, Into engathandekiyo, kwaye wenze ngaphandle komoya wobabalo? Ngokuba siyamazi lowo uthethile, Impindezelo yeyam, Ndiza kuphinda ndibuyele, utsho uYehova. Kwaye kwakhona, INkosi iya kubagweba abantu bayo. Yinto eyoyikekayo ukuwela ezandleni zikaThixo ophilayo (Hebhere 10:28-31)
KuMnqophiso oMdala, Umthetho kaMoses wahlula phakathi kwabantu, owamthanda uThixo, angenile kuMthetho kaMoses, wawathobela amazwi nemithetho kaThixo, waphila ubulungisa kaThixo, ngokuthanda kukaThixo, kunye nabantu, owamvukela uThixo nomthetho wakhe nangenxa yokungakholwa, wawabala amazwi omthetho. Umthetho wajongana nale, abazelwe phantsi komthetho kwaye bayawazi umthetho, kodwa wawugatya umthetho.
KuMnqophiso Omtsha, UYesu noMoya oyiNgcwele benza umahluko phakathi kwabantu, abakholelwa kwaye bathande uThixo kwaye bathobele amazwi kaYesu bahambe kwimiyalelo yakhe, kunye nabavukeli, Ngubani na ochasayo igama kwaye avume ukuthobela uThixo, kodwa uyawagatya amazwi akhe kwaye ahambe ngendlela yakhe kwaye azingise esonweni.
Nangona kunjalo, isohlwayo somntu, Ngozono ngomnqophiso omtsha ngumbimkhulu kakhulu kunalowo, Ngubani owonileyo ngomnqophiso omdala.
“Kuba xa sizona ngabom emva kokuba sifumene ulwazi lweNyaniso, Kusenokungabikho kwezono zabo”
Xa umntu ozelwe yiMbewu yakwaSirayeli kumnqophiso omkhulu waza wahlala phantsi komthetho kwaye onetyala ngabom, Umntu wasweleka engenabubele, phantsi kwamangqina amabini okanye amathathu.
Kodwa ukuba umntu wonileyo ngabom, Emva kokufumana ulwazi olupheleleyo lwenyani, Kusekhona kunamatyala. Kodwa ingqumbo eyoyikisayo esele iza kuba ziintshaba.
Ngesono ngabom, Umntu uthandeke phantsi konyana kaThixo. Umntu ubale igazi lomnqophiso, Omntu wangcwaliswa into engafanelekanga kwaye ethuka umoya wobabalo. (Funda kwakhona: Ungayithuka njani umoya wobabalo?).
Umntu, Ngubani owawugatya umthetho kaMoses wasweleka phantsi kwamangqina amabini okanye amathathu. Kodwa bonke abathi uYesu, badelayo ubabalo nenyaniso kaThixo ofike ngoYesu Krestu, uya kufa kude kubephakade.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
