Mhlawumbi wothuswa ngumxholo weli nqaku kunye nokucinga, Intoni, uYesu uthiyile? Akho ndlela yimbi, UYesu uluthando kwaye akanakuthiya! Kulungile, iBhayibhile ayityhili nje kuphela uthando olulungileyo lukaThixo, UYesu, noMoya oyiNgcwele, kodwa nezinto abazithiyileyo. KwiTestamente eNdala, sifunda ngezinto azithiyileyo uThixo nakwiTestamente eNtsha, sifunda ngezinto uYesu noMoya oyiNgcwele azithiyileyo. UYesu wayengengoMntu ongaqondakaliyo, kodwa yayiselubala, kanye njengoYise. Ngexesha lokuhamba kwakhe emhlabeni, UYesu wababonisa ngokucacileyo abantu Bakhe izinto ezimkholisayo Yena noYise nezinto ezingamkholisiyo yena noYise. Yintoni uYesu ayithiyileyo ngokutsho kwebhayibhile?
Ngaba iindlela zikaThixo zingaphezu kweendlela zethu kwaye iingcinga zikaThixo zingaphezu kweengcinga zethu?
Amanye amaKristu akaqhelananga nokuthanda kukaThixo aze acaphule uIsaya 55:8, nokuba iindlela zikaThixo zingaphezu kweendlela zethu nokuba iingcamango zikaThixo zingaphezu kweengcamango zethu. Kodwa la maKristu akazange alibale (phakathi kwabanye) iivesi ezimbini ezibalulekileyo, onguIsaya 55:7 kwaye 1 KwabaseKorinte 2:16.
Ku-Isaya 55:7 God talks about the ungodly (abakhohlakele). Ngoko ke, uIsaya 55:8 refers to the ungodly and their (ongendawo) ways and their (ububi) iingcinga.
We all know that the mind of the wicked people and their thoughts do not correspond with the mind and the iingcinga zikaThixo, Ngubani ongcwele nolilungisa. Ngoko ke, their ways do not correspond with the ways of God.
Ngaphakathi 1 KwabaseKorinte 2:16, it is written that we have the mind of Christ. If we have the mind of Christ, then we know the thoughts of God and His ways.
Ngoko ke, Christians that say that God’s thoughts are above their thoughts are not born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them. Because God revealed to us what was hidden through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God (1 KwabaseKorinte 2:7-16).
They don’t belong to God, or they have not bahlaziye iingqondo zabo ngeLizwi likaThixo, so that they have the mind of Christ.
Because the mind of Christ thinks like the Word, acts like the Word, and lives according to the will of God, and pleases Him. So that God is exalted and glorified.
Many Christians have a wrong image of Jesus
Another thing is, that many Christians have created a wrong image of Jesus, that doesn’t correspond with the true Jesus Christ.
They consider Jesus as the Jesus of the new age. The new age Jesus is a loving wishy-washy that tolerates and approves everything and accepts everything, kuquka isono, all because of love and peace.
But people that created this image of Jesus, don’t study the Bible and don’t know the Word. They created this image of Jesus from the doctrines and opinions of people, iincwadi, kunye neemuvi, that deviate from the Bible (ILizwi likaThixo).
The Bible reveals that Jesus was not a wishy-washy, owacikida yonk' into, wajikwa yimimoya yonke.
UYesu wayelilungisa yaye enovelwano
UYesu wayeyindoda elilungisa, ababethetha ngegunya. Wayethetha nabantu ngenyaniso yaye wayesoloko ethetha amazwi aqatha, nto leyo ebeya kugqalwa kwixesha lethu njengento eyenzakalisayo okanye ekhubekisayo. Amazwi akhe alukhuni abangela ukuba abantu abaninzi bamfulathele.
Ingakumbi abantu ukuba balandela uYesu ngenxa yemiqondiso nemimangaliso. Babengeva kwaye bayithwale inyaniso, awakuthethayo uYesu. Kungokuba inyaniso yaKhe yazichasa iimfundiso nezithethe zabo zonqulo, apho bakhuliswe kwaye babambelela kuyo.
Nangona uYesu wayengum Indoda enovelwano, Uthando lwakhe aluzange lulalanise kwaye lwamkele ihambo eyayichasene ngokupheleleyo nokuthanda kukaThixo.
Kuba uYesu wayengowoBukumkani bamaZulu hayi eBukumkanini bobumnyama, Uthando lwakhe yayingelothando lomntu oluzicingela yedwa kwaye ke ngoko lujikela kuYe nakubantu, kwaye isekwe phezu kweemvakalelo. Kodwa uthando lukaYesu yayiluthando lukaThixo oluzincamayo olujikeleza uThixo nokumkholisa nokumzukisa nokwenza ukuthanda kwakhe kulo mhlaba..
Uthando lukaYesu lwajongana nabantu bakaThixo kwaye babize ukuba baguquke nokushenxiswa kwesono. Wonke umfundi kaYesu kufuneka ahambe kolu thando lunye.
Ukuzalwa kweBandla likaKristu
Emva kokufika kukaMoya oyiNgcwele emhlabeni, iBandla; uMzimba kaKristu wazalwa. Wonke umntu, abakholwayo kuYesu Kristu, waguquka, kwaye wabhaptizwa emanzini waza wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele, waba lilungu leBandla likaKrestu.
ICawe ayisosakhiwo, kodwa iBandla libandla lamaKristu azelwe ngokutsha, ngobani o sambethe uKristu.
Unokuba lilungu lecawe yendawo kwaye uye ecaweni rhoqo ngeveki, kodwa oko akuyi kukwenza ukuba ube lilungu leBandla kwaye ube ngummi wobukumkani beZulu.
Kwaneyona mfundo iphakamileyo kunye nesidanga ayinakukwenza ukuba ube ngummi woBukumkani bamazulu.
Unokuba ngumfundisi kwicawa yasekuhlaleni, kodwa nako oko akuyi kukwenza ummi wobukumkani bamazulu.
Kuphela kungokuzalwa ngokutsha kuYesu Kristu, unokuba ngummi woBukumkani bamazulu.
Kwi Usuku lwePentekoste, iBandla likaKrestu lazalwa. Abantu abakholwayo, waguquka, benziwa amalungisa, bamlandela uYesu ngokugcina Imithetho yakhe kwaye silindele isithembiso saKhe, bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
Ukususela ngoko uMoya oyiNgcwele wahlala ebantwini, awathi ngalo umntu waba likhaya likaThixo; itempile kaThixo.
Kanye njengokuba uYesu wayeyitempile kaThixo, ngenxa yobukho bukaThixo ngokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele (Owu. UMateyu 26:61; 27:40, Phawula 14:58, UYohane 2:19-21, 1 KwabaseKorinte 3:16-17; 6:19, 2 KwabaseKorinte 6:16, Kwabase-Efese 2:21-22).
IBandla likaKrestu lazalwa kwaye lafumana imiyalelo ecacileyo kuYesu, Intloko yeCawa. IBandla lisafumana imiyalelo kwiLizwi nakuMoya oyiNgcwele.
UMoya oyiNgcwele utyhila yonke into ayithethayo uYesu
UMoya oyiNgcwele wenza yonke into ayithethayo uYesu yaziwe kumakholwa azelwe ngokutsha angoonyana neentombi zikaThixo.
IBandla layithobela imiyalelo kaYesu kwaye lamela kwaye laseka uBukumkani bukaThixo emhlabeni.
Amakholwa azelwe ngokutsha aye ahlanganisana kunye, babumela baza bamisela uBukumkani bukaThixo ngokuthobela uYesu noYise, ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo zenyaniso, inguquko noxolelo lwesono, ekhupha iidemon, ephilisa imilwelwe. Baye bethetha ngalwimi zimbi, yaza imiqondiso nezimanga yabalandela (UMateyu 28:19-20, Phawula 16:15-18, ULuka 24:47-48).
Icebo likaMtyholi lokuhenda nokutshabalalisa iBandla likaKristu
The devil thought he accomplished his plan when Jesus was crucified. He thought he was rid of Jesus, Kodwa wayengalunganga. Instead of being rid of Jesus, he got hundreds and thousands of‘ little Christs’ in return. Ngoku, his kingdom was in greater danger than before and lost more ground.
What could he do to ensure that they would not be a threat to him and his kingdom anymore? By infiltrating their mind with lies and iimfundiso zeedemon, which would lead them astray. Le ndlela, they would become powerless and be no longer a threat to him and his kingdom. And so the devil executed his plan.
In every generation, since the coming of the Holy Spirit, the devil did everything he could to seduce and mislead Christians and lead them astray. Lo nto, they would enter the path of unrighteousness (ubugwenxa).
Ngenxa yenyani, that many Christians didn’t take their stand and hold their ground on the living Word of God; UYesu, and didn’t submit to His will, but deviated from His will and Imithetho yakhe, the plan of the devil succeeded, time and time again, and the Church slowly drifted away.
This phenomenon already happened in the generation of the first apostles, as we read in the letters from Paul, UYohane, UPetros, UJames, kunye noYuda.
But not only the apostles wrote to the local churches and warned them, gave them instructions, bababizela ukuba baguquke. Jesus also warned the churches and called them to repentance, when Jesus appeared to John on the Isle of Patmos.
Jesus confronted the seven Churches with their works
Not only did Jesus encourage the seven churches and told them what pleased Him, but Jesus also confronted the churches with their unrighteousness and babize ukuba baguquke kanye.
They deviated and if they would not repent, Jesus would, phakathi kwabanye, remove the candlestick out of his place.
The fabel of once saved always saved
Ngoko ke, the preaching of ‘xa sele ugciniwe uhlala ugciniwe' (eternal security) kwaye i message of grace; that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you may live the way you want to live, even if you keep habitually living in sin, is one big lie of the devil!
Kanjalo, the devil wants these messages to be believed and preached since this message means a gain ngenxa yobukumkani bakhe. But Jesus is very clear, He can’t be more clear than His words.
Does the Church want to be prepared?
Khumbula, that Jesus said these things after His death and resurrection and after the coming of the Holy Spirit. Ngoko ke, Jesus said these things in the same dispensation as we live in. Akukho nto itshintshileyo, except that the end is near and Jesus will soon return, kwaye ufuna ukulungiselela iBandla laKhe ukuza kwaKhe. Kodwa umbuzo ngulo, ingaba iBandla lifuna ukulungiswa?
Ngaba uYesu akakasisusi isiphatho sesibane kwiicawa ezininzi emva kwazo zonke izilumkiso zaKhe? Kungenxa yokuba zininzi iicawa ehleli ebumnyameni kwaye abaqondi ukuba bahamba yiphi na indlela.
Bayikhabile iCompass yokomoya baza endaweni yeCompass bafaka ubukrelekrele bomntu kunye neentanda-bulumko zomntu., kwaye uzame ukuphumelela kwaye ufumane ubomi obungunaphakade. Kodwa abayi kuphumelela, kuba ngaphandle kweCompass yokomoya, baya kulahleka bangaze bafike apho baya khona.
Yintoni awayeyithiyile uYesu?
UYesu ubuthiyile ubugwenxa (intswela-bulungisa), njengoko kubhaliweyo kumaHebhere 1:8-9. UYesu unyana kaThixo ophilayo wabuthanda ubulungisa kodwa wathiya okungendawo.
Kodwa kuNyana uthi, Itrone yakho, Owu Thixo, Ngonaphakade kanaphakade: Yintonga ethe tye intonga yobukumkani bakho. Ubuthanda ubulungisa, ubuthiyile ubugwenxa; ngoko uThixo, nditsho uThixo wakho, Ukuthambise Ngeoli yomhlali ngaphezu kwabalingane bakho (Hebhere 1:8-9)
Igama intswela-bulungisa livela kwigama lesiGrike elithi ‘ἀνομία’ (umntu) nto leyo ithetha ubungendawo, ukungasebenzi kakuhle, isenzo esichasene nomthetho:- ubugwenxa, ubugwenxa, owaphula umthetho, ukwaphulwa komthetho, intswela-bulungisa.
UYesu wazalwa nguThixo yaye wayelilungisa yaye ethanda ubulungisa.
Kuba uYesu wayelilungisa yaye engcwele, nto leyo ethetha ukuba uYesu wahlulelwa kuThixo ngenxa yenkonzo yaKhe kwaye ezinikele kuYe, UYesu ubuthiyile ubugwenxa (iintswela-bulungisa)s.
Wathi uYesu: "Akukho mntu unokukhonza iinkosi ezimbini: Kuba uya kuyithiya le, Kwaye thanda enye; okanye ngenye indawo uya kubamba, kwaye uyidele enye. Aninako ukukhonza uThixo noMammon " (UMateyu 6:24)
UYesu wayengafuni ukuba nenxaxheba kwimisebenzi yobugwenxa. Kuba uYesu wayesazi, obengumthombo wemisebenzi yobugwenxa.
Wayeyazi imisebenzi engalunganga yeza ngokuthobela ingelosi ewileyo, onguyise wendoda ewileyo, oko kukuthi umtyholi.
UYesu akazange amnqule umtyholi
UYesu akazange aqubude kumtyholi ngexesha lokuhamba kwakhe emhlabeni. Akazange abe ngowesizukulwana somntu owileyo. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba uYesu akazange aqubude kumtyholi kwaye wayengekho kwisizukulwana somntu owileyo, ihlabathi lamthiya uYesu.
UYesu wajongana waza wangqina ngemisebenzi yabo engendawo nezono zabo yaye ayingabo bonke ababekholiswa koko.
UYesu wayeyithiyile imisebenzi yobugwenxa, kwaye ngenxa yoko, abasebenzi bobutshinga bamthiyile uYesu yaye wala uYesu.
Uthando lukaYesu kuYise
Kodwa uYesu wahamba eluthandweni lobuthixo. Kwaye ngenxa kaYesu wayemthanda uThixo ngaphezu kwako konke ngentliziyo Yakhe yonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo namandla, Wayenokumelana nayo yonke into. Akukho kuziphatha okanye amazwi ebantwini ayenokumnqanda.
Ukuba uYesu wayephulaphule ubuxoki bomtyholi waza wazithoba kumtyholi, ngokumphulaphula nokumthobela, NjengoAdam, ngoko uYesu wayengenakuba endaweni yoko kuba umntu owileyo noYesu wayengenakwenziwa idini.
Kodwa okunjani kona ukukhululeka, ukuba uYesu akazange anikezele kuzo zonke ezo zihendo zikaMtyholi.
UYesu Wahlala ethobelayo kuYise. Because of His great love for God, and out of that love, He gave His life and allowed God to put the sins and iniquities of the world upon Him.
Jesus allowed what Jesus hated most and what caused Him to be separated from His Father and led to death.
Jesus hated iniquity and sin during His life on earth.
He not only hated iniquity during His life on earth but even after His death and resurrection,
Jesus made it very clear that He still hated iniquity.
Because in the Book of Revelation, Jesus mentioned twice the works of the Nicolaitans, NguYesu othithileyo.
Jesus not only mentioned the works of the Nicolaitans, which He hated. Jesus also mentioned the teachings of Balaam and the tolerance and doctrine of Jezebel.
Intonga yobulungisa yintonga yobukumkani bakhe
Wawuvula ke uPetros umlomo, watsho, Ndiyaqiqa okwenyaniso ukuba uThixo akamkhethi wabuso bamntu: kwiintlanga zonke ke lowo umoyikayo, enze ubulungisa, wamkelekile kuye (IZenzo 10:35)
Kwezi ntsuku akukho nto itshintshileyo. UYesu usabuthiyile ubugwenxa (intswela-bulungisa) kwaye ayivumelani nayo.
UYesu akanguye Umkhuthazi wentswela-bulungisa (ubugwenxa), kodwa uYesu unguMthuthuzeli wobulungisa.
Emveni kwakho konke, intonga yobukumkani bakhe yintonga yobulungisa.
Bonke abangabobukumkani bukaThixo, ekuhlala kubo iLizwi noMoya oyiNgcwele, iya kuba ne Ukoyika uYehova uze ube ngumququzeleli wobulungisa uze ke uhambe ngobulungisa.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi‘
