Kwiintsuku ezidlulileyo, sakhumbula iimbandezelo zikaYesu Krestu nokufa kwakhe emnqamlezweni nokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo. UYESU khristu, uNyana kaThixo, owathabatha indawo yomntu owawa emnqamlezweni, wenziwa idini njengeMvana engenatyala nengenachaphaza wathwala izono nobugwenxa bomntu owileyo phezu kwaKhe waza waziswa uxolelaniso ngegazi lakhe elixabisekileyo wangena ekufeni wavuka kwabafileyo njengoMnqobi, ukuze wonke umntu, ababeya kukholwa kuYesu Krestu nangokumaniswa Naye ngokuzalwa ngokutsha, asikuboni ukufa, kodwa ngokuvuka koMoya kwabafileyo, wayeza kungena kubomi obungunaphakade. UYesu wakwenza konke oku ngenxa yothando; ngenxa yothando ngoYise nangenxa yothando ngoluntu, kodwa wenza ntoni ngokuthanda uYesu? Abantu bahlala befuna ukufumana kwaye bagxininise kuyo (emhlabeni) iintsikelelo kunye noko uThixo anokubenzela kona, kodwa abantu benza ntoni na kuThixo? Wenza ntoni ukubonisa uthando lwakho kuYesu? Ungalubonisa njani uthando lwakho kuYesu ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Uthando lukaYesu kuYise
UYesu weza esenyameni emhlabeni kwaye wayeyimbonakaliso kaThixo uYise. UYesu wayekhona umntu ngokupheleleyo kwaye wayenamandla okwenza isono, kodwa ngenxa yokoyika nokuthanda kwakhe uYise, UYesu akanasono, kodwa uYesu wahlala ethembekile yaye emthobela uYise.
UYesu wachitha ixesha elininzi kunye noYise emthandazweni, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba uYesu wayenyanzelekile, kodwa ngenxa yokuba uYesu wayefuna. Wayemthanda uYise ngoko ke Wayefuna ukuchitha ixesha noYise.
Uthando, nto leyo uYesu ayibonisayo kuYise yayinganxulumananga neemvakalelo, iimvakalelo, okanye intetho yenyama, kodwa kukuthobela kwakhe.
UYesu wahlala emthobela ngokupheleleyo uYise waza wabonisa ukuthobela kwakhe ukuthanda kukaYise ngamazwi nangezenzo.
Wabaphendula uYesu, Inene, inene, Ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu ozonde umkhonzi wesono. Kwaye isicaka esihlala singekho endlwini ngonaphakade: Kodwa uNyana uhlala ehleli. Ukuba ke uNyana uthe wanenza nakhululeka, noba nikhululekile inene. Ndiyazi ukuba niyimbewu ka-Abraham; ke nifuna ukundibulala, ngokuba ilizwi lam lingenakuhamba kuni. Mna ndithetha endikubonileyo kuBawo;: nize nenze enikubonileyo kuyihlo (UYohane 8:34-38)
UYesu wathobela amazwi kaBawo kwaye wathetha amazwi kaYise. UYesu wathetha waza wenza oko wayebone uYise ekwenza waza wayalela ukuba akwenze, nangenxa yokuthobela kwakhe uYise, UYesu watshutshiswa waza ekugqibeleni wabulawa, kanye njengabaprofeti (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ukuthobela uThixo’ kunye 'Yiba nokholo kuThixo')
UYesu wahamba ngokuthobela uYise
Unyana wam, gcina amazwi am, ndibeke kuwe imithetho yam,. Gcina imiyalelo yam, kwaye uphile; Nomyalelo wam njengokhozo lweliso lakho (IMizekeliso 7:1-2)
Wathi uSamuweli, UYehova unonelele amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo;, njengokuthobela ilizwi leNkosi? Khangela, ukuthobela kulunge ngaphezu kombingelelo, nokubaza iindlebe ngaphezu kwamanqatha eenkunzi zeegusha. Ngokuba ukuba neenkani kusisono esinjengokuvumisa;, ubungqola bunjengenkonzo yezithixo nemilondekhaya. Ngokuba ulicekisile ilizwi likaYehova, Naye ukucekisile ukuba ungabi kumkani (1 uSamuweli 15:22-23).
UYesu waliphulaphula ilizwi likaYise kwaye wathembeka kuYise kwaye wahamba ekuthobeleni imiyalelo kaYise kwaye wenza okulungileyo.. Nangona kunjalo ihlabathi alizange licinge, Wenza ntoni uYesu, njengoko kulungile kodwa kubi, kuba uYesu wangqina ukuba imisebenzi yakhe yayingendawo yaye ngoko uYesu wayesisisongelo kumlawuli wehlabathi, umtyholi, kunye nabo, ababengabakaMtyholi nehlabathi.
Kwaye kusenjalo kwabo, abathe ngokholo nokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, baba sisidalwa esitsha.
Njengoko uYesu wayeyimbonakaliso kaYise, Indalo entsha yimbonakaliso kaYesu Krestu kwaye uhambe, kanye njengokuba uYesu wahambayo, ngentando kaBawo. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba behamba ngoMoya enyanisweni, kunye nokuthanda kukaThixo ekukhanyeni, baya kulohlwaya ihlabathi ngenxa yesono, bangqine ukuba imisebenzi yalo ayindawo. Ngoko ke, Indalo entsha nayo iya kuba sisisongelo kumtyholi nobukumkani bakhe kunye nabo, abangabakhe nangenxa yoko, Indalo entsha iya kutshutshiswa.
Indalo entsha iyathetha kwaye ithobela amazwi kaThixo
akubonileyo ke wakuva, ukuba uyangqina; akukho bani ubamkelayo ubungqina bakhe. Lowo ubamkeleyo ubungqina bakhe, utywine waqinisela ukuthi, uThixo uyinyaniso;. kuba lowo uthunyiweyo nguThixo, uthetha amazwi kaThixo: Kuba uThixo akamniki uMoya, ngokulinganisa kuye. uYise uyamthanda uNyana, uzinikele zonke izinto esandleni sakhe. Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, unobomi obungunaphakade: ke lowo ungamviyo uNyana, akayi kubona bomi; ingqumbo kaThixo ihleli phezu kwakhe. (UYohane 3:32-36)
Ngexesha lokuphila kwakhe emhlabeni, UYesu uye wazisa imiyalelo Yakhe kunye nokuthanda kukaBawo noBukumkani Bakhe. UYesu wafundisa abafundi bakhe kwaye wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba baye ehlabathini kwaye bashumayele ivangeli kwaye benze abafundi bakaYesu Krestu kwaye babafundise zonke izinto., ezo uYesu wabafundisa zona, wabayalela ukuba bazenze. Ukuze wonke umntu okholwayo nongumfundi kaYesu Kristu, ababengabakhe, uya kuthobela amazwi aKhe kwaye enze oko uYesu ayalele ukuba kwenziwe (Owu. UMateyu 28:19-20, Phawula 16:15-20, ULuka 24:47-49, IZenzo 1:1-9).
Imithetho kaYesu kunye nomyalelo omkhulu uYesu awawunika abafundi bakhe awuzange uphele kwibandla lokuqala kwaye wawungenzelwanga abapostile bokuqala kuphela., kodwa isasebenza kubo bonke abo, abaye baba sisidalwa esitsha kuKristu baza bamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele. Kuba ngaphandle koMoya oyiNgcwele indalo entsha ayinakho kwaye isebenze.
Ungalubonakalisa njani uthando lwakho kuYesu?
Lowo unemithetho yam, kwaye uyazigcina, nguye ondithandayo: lowo ke undithandayo uya kuthandwa nguBawo, kwaye ndiza kumthanda, kwaye uya kuzibonakalisa kuye (UYohane 14:21)
Ukuba uyandithanda, Gcina imiyalelo yam (UYohane 14:15)
Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ukuba indoda iyandithanda, Uya kuwagcina amazwi am: Kwaye utata uya kumthanda, siye ke siye kuye, kwaye wenze indawo yokuhlala kunye naye. Lowo undithandayo akayilindeli amazwi am: ilizwi enilivayo asililo elam, kodwa ngoBawo owandithumayo (UYohane 14:23-24)
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 (15:9-10)
Abantu abaninzi bayavuma ukuba bayamthanda uYesu, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi abayibonakalisi kubomi babo.
Kuba ungalubonakalisa njani uthando lwakho kuYesu? Ngokucula iingoma? Ngokwenza imisebenzi yesisa? Ngokuziphatha kobuntu kunye nezenzo zobubele? Ngokuba nobubele nomhlobo wonk’ ubani yaye ngoko izihlandlo ezininzi ulungelelanisa inyaniso kaThixo neemvakalelo zabantu, iminqweno, kunye neendlela zokuphila ukuze uvumelane kwaye uhambelane nomntu wonke kwaye uthandwe kwaye wamkelwe kwaye ugcine wonke umntu onwabile kwaye anelisekile? Ngokwakha iibhulorho kunye nehlabathi kunye nokulalanisa ngenxa yento ebizwa ubuxoki uthando, uxolo, kunye nomanyano? Ngokunyamezela imisebenzi yobumnyama nemisebenzi yenyama aka isono ebandleni? Hayi…
Njani na indalo entsha, othe wakhululwa ebukumkanini bobumnyama (Umhlaba) ngokholo nokuzalwa ngokutsha waza wafa enyameni, ukunxibelelana nehlabathi (ubukumkani bobumnyama) kwaye ulungelelanise ivangeli kwintando yabantu kunye neminqweno kunye neminqweno yenyama, niyenze imisebenzi yenyama; isono, ukuba uYesu ugwetywe enyameni Yakhe waza wasebenza emnqamlezweni kwaye wamkhulula umntu omtsha, kunye/okanye sivumele kwaye sinyamezele isono ebandleni? (Owu. AmaRoma 8:3, KwabaseKolose 1:13-14)
Ayinakwenzeka loo nto! Ukuba oku kuyenzeka ebomini bomntu okanye ecaweni, ngoko uYesu Kristu akayiyo iNkosi yomntu kwaye uYesu Kristu akayiyo iNtloko yebandla kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele akakho, kodwa umntu okanye ibandla limshiyile uYesu Kristu, indlela, inyani, kunye noBomi kwaye uhamba kwiindlela ezikhethwe ngokwazo.
Ungalubonakalisa njani uthando lwakho kuYesu? Ekuphela kwendlela yokubonisa uthando lwakho kuYesu kukuthobela uYesu nokwenza oko akuthethayo.
Ukuba uphulaphule uYesu Kristu; ILizwi kwaye uzinikele kwiLizwi kwaye enze oko Akuthethayo kwaye ahambe ngemithetho yaKhe kwaye ke enze imiyalelo yaKhe, emva koko uya kubonisa uYesu ukuba uyamthanda kwaye uya kuhlala eluthandweni lwakhe kwaye uthando lwakhe luya kuba kuwe.
Ukuba uyamthanda uYesu kwaye uhamba ngemithetho yakhe, evela kuBawo, aniyi kuhamba ngokwenyama, niqhubeke nisenza imisebenzi yenyama, niqhubeke nisenza isono, kodwa ngenxa yokumthanda kwenu uYesu, nokumlulamela kwenu nemithetho yakhe, uya kubeka phantsi imisebenzi yenyama kwaye uhambe ngcwele ebulungiseni kwintando kaBawo (Funda kwakhona: ‘Imiyalelo kaThixo kunye nemiyalelo kaYesu Krestu‘).
Yini na ukuba nindibize Nkosi, Nkosi?, kodwa musani ukuyenza le ndiyithethayo?
Nindibizelani na?, Nkosi, Nkosi, kwaye musani ukuzenza izinto endizithethayo? (ULuka 6:46)
UYesu uvukile kwabafileyo kwaye uyaphila kwaye usathetha ngoMoya oyiNgcwele amazwi kaBawo kwabo, abangabakhe. Ezo, abangabakhe uYesu Krestu nabamthanda ngokwenene uYesu Krestu baya kuchitha ixesha kunye noYesu noYise eLizwini nasemthandazweni kwaye baya kuphulaphula amazwi aKhe kwaye bathobele amazwi nemiyalelo yakhe endaweni yokulungisa amazwi akhe kunye/okanye ukuwakhaba.. Ngokuthobela kwabo iLizwi, babonisa ukuba bayamthanda uYesu yaye bangabakhe.
Abantu banokuthetha zonke iintlobo zezinto, kodwa ekugqibeleni, ukuthobela uYesu; ilizwi, kwaye imisebenzi ingqina ukuba umntu ngokaYesu kwaye uyamthanda uYesu okanye hayi.
Ngaba uyamthanda uYesu kwaye uyazithoba wena kuYesu; ILizwi kunye nentando kaBawo kwaye uyakwenza oko iLizwi likuxelela ukuba wenze kwaye uyakuthwala iziqhamo yoMoya? Okanye ngaba uyazithanda kwaye uzinikela ekuthandeni kwakho kunye neenkanuko neminqweno yenyama kwaye wenza okutshiwo lihlabathi kwaye uthwala isiqhamo senyama?
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
