Abantu banokuthi kwaye bathembisa zonke iintlobo zezinto, kude kuphakame imeko, Apho amagama abo kunye nezithembiso abazenzileyo azisakhunjulwa. Oku kwenzeka nakubomi bukaSimon Petros, indoda eyayimthanda uYesu yaza yahlawula ixabiso lothando lwayo. Kuba ukuthanda uYesu nokulandela uYesu kuya kubiza yonke into!
Ubizo lukaSimon Petros
Emva kukaYesu Kristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo, wabhaptizwa emanzini waza wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele waza wakhokelelwa nguMoya entlango, wahendwa nguMtyholi iintsuku ezimashumi mane, bemoyisa uMtyholi, UYesu waya kushumayela ubukumkani bukaThixo nokubizela abantu enguqukweni. Apha endleleni, UYesu wadibana namadoda alishumi elinambini, awathi uYesu wababiza ukuba bamlandele. La madoda alishumi elinambini aluphendula ubizo lwakhe kwaye agqiba ekubeni amlandele kwaye abe ngabafundi bakhe abalishumi elinambini.
USimon Petros wayengomnye wabafundi abalishumi elinambini, owaphendula ubizo lukaYesu waza wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe, washiya ngasemva zonke izinto, walandela uYesu.
UPetros wamlandela uYesu, naphi na apho uYesu wayesiya khona kwaye wayelingqina likaYesu Kristu noBukumkani bukaThixo obabushunyayelwa nguYesu.
USimon Petros nabanye abafundi babenganeli nje ukuba ngamangqina kaYesu’ ubomi kunye namazwi, awawushumayelayo uYesu ngegunya, Babengamangqina ke emiqondiso nemimangaliso emininzi eyayilandela uYesu.
UYesu wayenguMfundisi wabo yaye babephila ngokusondeleyo kuYesu yaye babebone lukhulu, ukuba ngexesha elithile, UYesu wathumela abafundi bakhe waza wabanika amandla (igunya) phezu kwawo wonke umkhosi wotshaba waza wabayalela ukuba bashumayele isigidimi esinye baze benze imisebenzi efanayo.
Bahamba ke abafundi bakaYesu, njengokuba uYesu wahambayo, washumayela waza wazisa ubukumkani bukaThixo kubo, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli, ngemiqondiso nezimanga ezilandela bona, njengoYesu.
Isivumo sikaPetros
Xenikweni uYesu wafikayo emideni yaseKesareya yakwaFilipu, Wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi, Bathi abantu mna Nyana woMntu ndingubani na?? Bathi ke bona, Abanye bathi unguYohane umbhaptizi: abanye, UEliya; kunye nabanye, UYeremiya, nokuba ngomnye wabaprofeti. Athi kubo, Ke nina nithi ndingubani na?? Waphendula ke uSimon Petros wathi, UnguKristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo. Waphendula ke uYesu, wathi kuye, Unoyolo wena, USimon Barjona: ngokuba akukutyhilelwanga oku yinyama negazi, kodwa nguBawo osemazulwini. Kwaye nditsho nawe, UnguPeter, Kwaye kweli tye ndiza kuyakha icawe yam; Kwaye amasango esihogo akayi koyisa. Kwaye ndiya kukunika izitshixo zobukumkani bamazulu: kwaye nantoni na othe wakubopha emhlabeni iya kubotshwa emazulwini: kwaye othe wakukhulula emhlabeni, kokhululwa emazulwini. Wabayala abafundi bakhe, ukuba bangaxeleli bani ukuba yena unguye uKristu (UMateyu 16:13-20)
Emveni kwexeshana, UYesu wababuza abafundi bakhe, “Bathi abantu ndingubani na mna Nyana woMntu?? Baphendula abafundi bakhe, ukuba abanye bathi uYesu nguYohane umbhaptizi, abanye ooEliya, nabanye ooYeremiya, nokuba ngomnye wakubaprofeti. Wababuza ke uYesu ‘Kodwa nina nithi ndingubani?’ UPetros wamphendula uYesu wathi, “Wena unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo!”
UYesu wamxelela uPetros, nokuba wayenoyolo ekubeni inyama negazi bezingamtyhilelanga ukuba unguye uKristu, kodwa uYise, osezulwini.
UYesu wathembisa oko kuPetros nakubungqina bakhe, UYesu wayeza kulakha iBandla laKhe nokuba amasango esihogo akayi kuloyisa. UYesu wayeza kunika izitshixo zoBukumkani bamazulu kwaye nantoni na awayeya kuyibopha yayiza kubotshwa ezulwini kunye nantoni na awayeya kuyikhulula emhlabeni., iya kukhululwa ezulwini (Funda kwakhona: ‘Amasango esihogo akayi koyisa kwicawe yam', ‘Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngezitshixo zoBukumkani bamazulu?' Kwaye'Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngokubopha kwaye ethandabuza?')
UYesu wabayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangaxeleli mntu ukuba uYesu unguye (kwaye kunjalo) uKristu (UMateyu 16:20, Phawula 8:30)
Abafundi bawathobela amazwi kaYesu kwaye bayivala imilomo yabo de kwafika ixesha, nokuba bavunyelwe ukuba bavule imilomo yabo, bashumayele ngoYesu Kristu, kuqala kwindlu kaSirayeli, kwandula ke kwanakwiiNtlanga.
"Yiza emva kwam, USathana; ulityala kum!”
Waqalela kwelo xa uYesu ukubabonisa abafundi bakhe, ukuba umelwe kukuthi aye eYerusalem, eve ubunzima obukhulu kuwo amadoda amakhulu nababingeleli abakhulu, nababhali, aze abulawe, abuye avuke ngomhla wesithathu. Waza uPetros wamthabatha, waqala ukumkhalimela, esithi, makube lee kuwe, Nkosi: oko akuyi kuba njalo kuwe. Kodwa Wajika, wathi kuPetros, Fumana emva kwam, USathana: ulityala kum: Kuba uze ungazifumaniyo izinto ezingoThixo, kodwa ezabantu (UMateyu 16:21-23)
Utsho * uNdikhoyo, Simon, Simon, khangela, USathana unqwenela ukuba nawe, ukuba unokukugqitha njengengqolowa: Kodwa ndikuthandazile, ukuze ukholo lwakho lungapheli: Kwaye xa uguqukile, Yomeleza abazalwana bakho. Wathi yena kuye, Nkosi, sendikulungele ukuhamba nawe, bobabini entolongweni, nasekufeni. Watsho, Ndiyakuxelela, UPetros, ayisayi kulila inkuku namhla, uya kundikhanyela kathathu ukuba uyandazi (ULuka 22:31-34)
Nangona uPetros wayengomnye, owangqina ukuba uYesu wayenguKrestu kwaye lowo uYesu wathembisa ukuba uya kulakhela iBandla laKhe phezu koPetros nobungqina Bakhe, kwakukho amaxesha ahlukeneyo, xa uPetros wayekhokelwa ziimvakalelo neemvakalelo zakhe waza ekugqibeleni wamkhanyela uYesu Kristu.
UMtyholi weva ukuba uYesu uya kulakhela iBandla lakhe phezu koPetros nobungqina bakhe ngoko ke amehlo kasathana ayejonge kuPetros waza wafuna umzuzu wokuba noPetros nokuthintela uYesu ekubeni akhe iBandla lakhe kuPetros nobungqina bakhe..
Umzuzu wokuqala weza kanye emva kobungqina bukaPetros xa uYesu wayethetha ngeembandezelo zakhe, ukufa, novuko kunye noPetros wayefuna ukuthintela uYesu ukuba ahambe ngendlela yomnqamlezo.
Ngokwenyama, Amazwi kaPetros abonakala ethembekile, onovelwano, kunye nothando, kodwa ekubeni uYesu wayengengowenyama kodwa wayengowomoya, UYesu wayibona imisebenzi yotshaba waza wayikhalimela ngokuthi, “Fumana emva kwam, USathana: ulityala kum: Kuba uze ungazifumaniyo izinto ezingoThixo, kodwa ezabantu”.
Ukukhanyela kukaPetros
Aze athi uYesu kubo, Nonke niya kukhubeka ngenxa yam ngobu busuku: kuba kubhaliwe, Ndiza kubetha umalusi, Kwaye izimvu zomhlambi ziya kuchithwa gadalala. Kodwa emva kokuba ndivukile, Ndiya kunandulela ndiye kwelaseGalili. Waphendula uPetros wathi kuye, Nokuba bonke baya kukhubeka ngawe, kodwa andiyi kukha ndikhubeke. UYesu wathi kuye, Inene ndithi kuwe, Ukuba ngobu busuku, ingekalili inkuku, wondikhanyela kathathu. Wathi uPetros kuye, nokuba ndingade ndife nawe, kanti andiyi kukukhanyela. Batsho ke bonke abafundi (UMateyu 26:31-35)
Emva koko kwafika ixesha, ukuba uPetros wamkhanyela kathathu uYesu, ngoxa uPetros wayetshilo ngaphambili ukuba akanakuze amkhanyele uYesu Kristu. Noko ke, oko kubhalwe kwiLizwi likaThixo kuya kwenzeka, Nokuba bathini abantu.
UYesu wathetha amazwi esiprofeto sikaThixo, njengoko kubhaliweyo eLizwini, kodwa uPetros wala ukukholwa nokuwamkela amazwi kaThixo, ezazithethwa nguYesu, waza wawachasa amazwi kaYesu esithi akasayi kuze akhutyekiswe nguye.
Kodwa uYesu wayesazi isizukulwana sale ndoda endala, ngubani inyamakazi, kwaye wayeyazi kakuhle into eyayiza kwenzeka waza ke uYesu waprofeta ukuba uPetros akayi kumkhanyela kube kanye, kodwa kathathu.
Kodwa kwakhona uPetros akazange awakholelwe amazwi kaYesu, kodwa wahamba ngokuchasene nayo, ngokuthi nangona wayeya kuthinjwa aze afakwe entolongweni kwaye kufuneka afe kunye naye, UPetros wayengenakuze amkhanyele uYesu. Kwaye nabanye abafundi bathetha amazwi afanayo nakaPetros.
Nangona kunjalo, UThixo uthetha inyani kwaye iLizwi likaThixo lelona gunya liphakamileyo ngaphandle kokuthanda komntu.
Abafundi, ababeseyindalo endala, wayengafuni ukuba uYesu ahambe ngendlela yomnqamlezo aze afe. Ngokuba ingqiqo yenyama nobume bomntu omdala bubutshaba kuThixo kwaye ayinakuthobela amazwi nentando kaThixo..
ngaphandle koko, abafundi bavuma ukuba abanakuze bamkhanyele uYesu, noba kwenzekani, Nangona kunjalo, inyama ithambile.
Kuba kanye njengoko uYesu wayetshilo, Bakhubeka kuye bonke abafundi bakhe, babaleka bemka, xa uYesu wayethinjwe.
Yaye kanye njengoko uYesu wayeprofetile, UPetros wamkhanyela kathathu uYesu esithi akamazi uYesu. Kwaye ngamazwi akhe kunye nokuvuma kwakhe, UPetros wahlukana noYesu waza wahlukana (okwethutyana) engasenguye umfundi wakhe.
Kuba emva kokuba uYesu evusiwe kwabafileyo waza uYesu wayalela uMariya ukuba axelele abafundi bakhe, UYesu akazange athi kuMariya ‘abafundi bakhe’, kodwa uYesu wathi, ‘Abafundi bakhe noPetros’ (Phawula 16:7).
Umthandazo kaYesu kuPetros
Utsho * uNdikhoyo, Simon, Simon, khangela, USathana unqwenela ukuba nawe, ukuba unokukugqitha njengengqolowa: Kodwa ndikuthandazile, ukuze ukholo lwakho lungapheli: Kwaye xa uguqukile, Yomeleza abazalwana bakho (ULuka 22:31-32)
Ngethamsanqa, UPetros wahlukaniswa noYesu okwexeshana nje elifutshane. Oku kwakungenxa yokuthandazela kukaYesu uPetros. UYesu wayibona imisebenzi kaMtyholi waza wabona ukuba umtyholi unqwenela ukuba noPetros, kodwa uYesu wayethandazele ukuba ukholo lukaPetros lungapheli nokuba xa uPetros wayeguquka abomeleze abazalwana bakhe..
UPetros, indoda eyayimthanda uYesu
Ngoko xa betyile, Athi uYesu kuSimon Petros, Simon, unyana kaYona, undithanda nangaphezu kwaba? Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi; Uyazi ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Athi kuye, Yondla amatakane am. Aphinde athi kuye okwesibini, Simon, unyana kaYona, uyandithanda? Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi; Uyazi ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Athi kuye, Dlisa iigusha Zam. Athi kuye okwesithathu, Simon, unyana kaYona, uyandithanda? Waba buhlungu uPetros, kuba ethe kuye okwesithathu, Uyandithanda wena? Wathi ke yena kuye, Nkosi, Uyazazi zonke izinto; Uyazi ukuba ndiyakuthanda. Uthi uYesu kuye, Dlisa iigusha Zam. Inene, inene, Ndithi kuwe, Xa wawuselula, uzibhinqile, wahamba apho uthanda khona: kodwa xa uthe waluphala, uya kuzolula izandla zakho, ubhinqiswe ngomnye, ndikuse apho ungathandiyo. Wakuthetha oko, eqondisa ukuba kukufa kuni na abeya kuzukisa uThixo ngako. Akuba eyithethile le nto, Athi kuye, Ndilandele (UYohane 21:15-19)
Xa uYesu wabuza uSimon Petros ukuba wayemthanda na ngaphezu kwabanye, Waphendula uPetros, “ewe Nkosi, Uyazi ukuba ndiyakuthanda.”
UYesu akazange ambuze nakanye uPetros ukuba uyamthanda na, kodwa kathathu, ekubeni uSimon Petros wayemkhanyele kathathu uYesu.
Waza ke uPetros waguquka ngokuvuma ukumthanda kwakhe uYesu kathathu. Xa uvumo lukaPetros lwenziwa, UPetros wabuyiselwa waza waba ngumfundi kaYesu kwakhona.
Ngaphandle kwesithembiso sokuba uYesu uya kulakhela iBandla laKhe phezu kukaPetros nobungqina bakhe, UYesu wayalela uPetros ukuba ondle amatakane akhe aze ondle izimvu zakhe yaye uYesu wabonisa ukuba uPetros wayeza kuzukisa uThixo ngokufa kangakanani na..
Yayilixabiso elo, UPetros wayeza kuhlawula ngokulandela uYesu nokubonisa ihlabathi ukuba uyamthanda uYesu.
UPetros omdala kunye noPetros omtsha
Xa uPetros wayeyindoda endala, UPetros wayekhokelwa yinyama yakhe (Owu. iimvakalelo zakhe, iimvakalelo, kunye neemvakalelo) kwaye waphenjelelwa ngumtyholi izihlandlo ezininzi, waza ekugqibeleni wamkhanyela kathathu uYesu. Kodwa xa uPetros wayezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye waba sisidalwa esitsha kwaye ekhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, konke ukuthandabuza, ixhala, yaye ukoyika abantu kwaphela.
UPetros wayengasakhokelwa ngumoya woloyiko, kodwa yamandla, uthando, kunye nengqondo evakalayo. Nje ngeziphumo, UPetros wema ngenkalipho phambi kwendlu kaSirayeli waza wangqina ngoYesu Kristu waza wajamelana nabo, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli, ngezono zabo nangezinto abazenzayo kuYesu Kristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo, bababizela ukuba baguquke.
Ngenxa yenkalipho kaPetros nobungqina bakhe, ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo ophilileyo, 3000 Imiphefumlo yendlu kaSirayeli yaguquka kwaye yabhaptizwa emanzini yaza yamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele.
UPetros wabonisa ngamazwi nangezenzo ukuba uyamthanda uYesu
UPetros, owayezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele akawuvala umlomo wakhe kwaye akazange athi tu, Wathetha ngokungafihlisiyo kubathetheli babantu nakumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli. UPetros wayibeka phantsi inyama yakhe waza wafa ‘kwisiqu sakhe’ kwaye wayengenazintloni ngevangeli kaYesu Krestu, nokuba amazwi akhe akhokelela ekuthinjweni nakwintshutshiso.
Kwanaxa uPetros nabanye abapostile bathinjwa, bavela entlanganisweni yamatyala, apho babeyalelwe ngumbingeleli omkhulu ukuba bangafundisi ngeGama likaYesu, basasaze imfundiso yabo., UPetros nabanye abapostile abazange bathule yaye babengoyiki.
Abazange banikezele kwaye abazange bathethe, “Kulungile, siyakugcina imilomo yethu ivaliwe kwaye silungise imfundiso yethu”, njengoko zisenza iinkokeli zebandla ezininzi namhlanje, kwaye uhlengahlengise iBhayibhile kunye nemfundiso eluntwini kwaye ulungelelanise nehlabathi kwaye ushumayele ivangeli engenamandla
Kodwa uPetros nabapostile babengasengabo abenyama kodwa basemoyeni yaye bahlala bethembekile emazwini nakwimithetho kaYesu baza bamphendula umbingeleli omkhulu ukuba bafanele bathobele uThixo kunokuba bathobele abantu. (IZenzo 3-5)
Konke oku kwakuvela kuthando lukaPetros ngeNkosi Yakhe. UPetros wabonisa ukuba uyayithanda iNkosi yakhe ngokuthobela amazwi kaYesu nomyalelo wakhe nokwenza oko uYesu wayekuyalele ukuba kwenziwe nokulandela uYesu..
UPetros wabonisa ukuba uyamthanda uYesu ngamazwi akhe, isebenza, kwaye ekugqibeleni wafa, awathi uPetros wamzukisa uThixo ngako, kanye njengoko uYesu wayeprofetile.
Nangona kunjalo, kwakukho ixesha elifutshane, xa uPetros wayekhokelwa kukoyika abantu waza wabonakalisa ihambo yohanahaniso, kodwa uPawulos wamjonga waza wamkhalimela uPetros phambi kwabanye (kwabaseGalati 2:11-16).
Ngaba uyamthanda uYesu ngentliziyo yakho yonke?
Uthando lukaYesu, nto leyo eyaboniswa nguPetros nabanye abafundi ngamazwi nangemisebenzi yabo, zifanele zibonakale nakubomi bamaKristu, abathe baguquka ngokholo kuYesu Krestu baza bazalwa ngokutsha Kuye kwaye baba sisidalwa esitsha kwaye bengabakhe.
Ukuba uye waba sisidalwa esitsha kwaye ungokaYesu, uya kuliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe kwaye umlandele.
Nize niwaphulaphule amazwi akhe, niwathobele amazwi akhe nemithetho yakhe, nikwenze oko aniwisele umthetho ngako. Nokuba intando Yakhe kunye nemithetho yakhe ichasene nentando yakho, ekubeni anisaphili, ke yena uKristu uhleli kuni. Olo lukhetho olwenzileyo, xa wawusenza isigqibo sokuba uYesu angabi nguMsindisi wobomi bakho kuphela, kodwa kwaneNkosi yobomi bakho (Funda kwakhona: ‘Kuthekani ukuba ukuthanda kukaThixo akuyiyo intando yakho?')
Endaweni yokuvala umlomo uhlale uthe cwaka uvumele yonke into ihambe ngendlela yayo uzidibanise nehlabathi uthethe amazwi ehlabathi nabantu benyama abakujikelezileyo ulalanise umkhanyele uYesu.; ILizwi ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo, uya kuma ngenkalipho uvule umlomo wakho kwaye uvume amazwi kaBawo, ezithethiweyo kuni ngoYesu Kristu noMoya oyiNgcwele, kwaye ungqine ngoYesu Krestu iLizwi eliphilayo likaThixo kwaye ubize abantu enguqukweni nasekususweni kwesono, kanye njengoYesu noPetros nje, bathetha amazwi alukhuni, bakhubekisa abantu abaninzi. Kodwa unokubakhubekisa ngcono abantu kunokuba ukhubekise uYesu Kristu kwaye umkhanyele.
Wenza konke oku, ngenxa yothando ngoYesu Kristu. Ukuba wenza ngenxa yaso nasiphi na esinye isizathu ngaphandle kothando ngoYesu nothando ngoBawo, emva koko ayizukunceda nto kwaye awuyi kukwazi ukuma ngokholo kwiLizwi kwaye unyamezele ukuchaswa kunye nentshutshiso, kodwa uya kuwathandabuza amazwi kaThixo uqubude ngenxa yobumnyama nokulalanisa kwaye uncame kwaye ukhanyele uYesu iLizwi.
Usindiswa ngokukholwa kuYesu Krestu, kodwa uya kuhlala usindisiwe ngokuthanda kwakho uYesu, okubonisa ngokuthobela imiyalelo kaYesu Krestu nangokwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
