KuYohane 10, Wathi uYesu, nokuba unguMalusi olungileyo nokuba izimvu zakhe zomhlambi wakhe ziyaliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe. UYesu uyazazi izimvu zakhe kwaye izimvu ziyamazi kwaye ziyamkholelwa kwaye ngenxa yoko ziyakwenza oko akuthethayo. Kodwa uYesu akazange athethe ngelizwi lakhe kuphela, kodwa kwanangelizwi lomfokazi ezingayi kumlandela izimvu zakhe. Nangona kunjalo baninzi abantu namhlanje, abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKrestu baze bathi uYesu yiNkosi yabo, kodwa ungaliphulaphuli ilizwi likaYesu. Abakwenzi oko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile, kodwa bahambe ngendlela yabo. Baphulaphula ilizwi labasemzini, abangawashumayeli amazwi kaYesu kodwa awabo amazwi kwaye bashumayele iindaba ezilungileyo zobuxoki. Le vangeli yobuxoki ikhuthaza imisebenzi yobumnyama kwaye yenza abantu babe nekratshi kwaye bavukele uThixo kwaye ibenze bahambe ngokungathobeli iLizwi lakhe ebukhobokeni besono.. Uliphulaphule ntoni?
Ukuba ungokaThixo uyamphulaphula
Bahlala oonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa 430 iminyaka. Isizukulwana esakhululwayo kumandla kaFaro ngesandla sikaThixo sakhuliswa eYiputa. Ayeyigqala njengesiqhelo inkcubeko yaseYiputa nonqulo-zithixo. Nangona kunjalo, inkcubeko yaseYiputa kunye nokunqula izithixo kwakungeyonto eqhelekileyo kuThixo kwaye yayingekho ngokwentando yakhe.
UThixo wakwenza kwaziwa oku kubantu bakwaSirayeli entlango emva kokuba uThixo ekhulule abantu bakhe ngamandla akhe esandleni sikaFaro..
Ngemiqondiso nezimanga, UThixo watyhila ubukhulu bakhe namandla akhe amakhulu, kunye negunya eliphakamileyo. Waza ke uThixo wabonakalisa ubume bakhe nentando yakhe ngamazwi nemithetho yakhe, awamnika uMoses.
Abantu kwakufuneka bahlaziye indlela yabo yakudala yokucinga ngamazwi nangemithetho kaThixo, ukuze indlela yabo yokucinga ivisisane nokuthanda kukaThixo baze bahambe ngokuvumelana nokuthanda Kwakhe ezindleleni Zakhe.
Ngalo lonke ixesha abantu bakwaSirayeli babethobela amazwi nemithetho kaThixo kwaye bephila ngokwentando yakhe, abantu bakaThixo bazahlula kwizizwe zabahedeni kwaye babengamangqina kaThixo emhlabeni. (Owu. uIsaya 43:10-12; 44:8).
Abantu bakaThixo babezahlula kwiintlanga ezingabahedeni
Ngolwaluko enyameni ngomhla wesibhozo, nangokuwugcina umthetho kaMoses, eyayingabolwaluko nomnqophiso, yatyhila uThixo nentando yakhe, Abantu bakaThixo babezahlula kwiintlanga ezingabahedeni zombini ngokwenyama njengakummandla wemvelo ngokuhamba kwabo (Funda kwakhona: Kuthetha ukuthini ulwaluko kuYesu Kristu?).
Logama nje abantu bakaThixo bethobela umthetho kwaye begcina imiyalelo kaThixo, abazange bahambe njengeeNtlanga kunqulo-zithixo, ubugqwirha, uhenyuzo, ukukrexeza, (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki, ubuxoki, inkohliso, ukubawa, njl. Abantu bakaThixo bahamba ngcwele (bahlukanisiwe nehlabathi kwaye bezinikele kuThixo) ekuthobeleni uThixo ngokwentando yakhe.
Ngokumamela i ilizwi likaThixo nokugcina umthetho, nto leyo ethetha ukuthobela amazwi kaThixo, abantu babonisa, ukuba babemoyika yaye bemthanda uThixo wabo ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, ngaphezu kwabo kunye nentando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama.
Kodwa nakuMnqophiso oMdala, kwenzeka rhoqo ukuba abantu bakaThixo balalanise baza balwamkela unqulo, amasiko, imikhwa, namasiko eentlanga, benqula izithixo, ukukrexeza, kwaye (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki.
Abazange bahlale bethembekile kwilizwi likaThixo kodwa balishiya ilizwi kunye namazwi kaThixo.
Bayeka oonyana bakaSirayeli ukulandela ilizwi likaThixo
Mamaxesha amaninzi, USirayeli wayeka ukulandela ilizwi likaThixo waza walandela ilizwi labantu, ilizwi labasemzini; ilizwi labaprofeti ababuxoki, abalusi bobuxoki, kunye nabafundisi bobuqhetseba, ebelindele oko kubo endaweni kaThixo. Ngenxa yokuwexuka kwabo, Abantu bakaThixo baphelela ebukhobokeni, ubukhoboka, kunye neemeko ezibuhlungu.
Uninzi lwabantu bakaThixo aluzange luyigqale imiyalelo kaThixo njengelungileyo nentsikelelo kubomi babo. Kunoko, baqwalasela imithetho kaThixo njengembi kunye nomthwalo onzima. Ubukhulu becala oku kwakubangelwa kukuba babengaphili ngokomoya yaye babengafuni ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo. Babefuna ukwenza ukuthanda nomnqweno wenyama apho kulawula imvelo yesono.
UYesu wayengokaThixo yaye wayephulaphula ilizwi likaThixo
UYesu akazange ayibhangise imithetho kaThixo emele ubume nokuthanda kukaThixo. Wawuseka umthetho ngokuhamba ngokuthobela imiyalelo kaThixo ekuthandeni kwakhe.
UYesu wayengokaThixo yaye wayephulaphula ilizwi likaThixo yaye akenzanga nto ngaphandle kokuthanda kukaThixo.
UYesu wayengakhokelwa yinyama yaKhe. Akazange aphenjelelwe ziindawo Zakhe ezimngqongileyo, nangantoni na abantu, kuquka i (unqulo) iinkokeli zabantu, watsho. Kodwa uYesu wahlala ethobekile kwaye ethembekile kwilizwi likaYise. Wahamba ngokokuthanda kwakhe kwimiyalelo yakhe waza wawuzalisekisa umthetho.
UYesu wayengumfanekiselo kaThixo. Amazwi kaThixo ayelelona gunya liphakamileyo ebomini bakhe (Owu. Hebhere 1:3; 5:8).
Ngokuzithoba ngokupheleleyo kuThixo nokuthobela amazwi aKhe, UYesu, uNyana kaThixo, wazahlula ngokwakhe ehlabathini (Inkqubo yeHlabathi) waza wazahlula koonyana bakaMtyholi (kokubini amadoda nabafazi).
Ngokuthobela kwakhe ilizwi likaThixo nokugcina imiyalelo yaKhe, UYesu wabonisa ukuba uyamoyika yaye uyamthanda uThixo. UYesu wabonisa ukuba ungowakhe hayi omnye umntu.
Kwaye njengoYesu, owabonisa ngokuhamba kwakhe ukuba ungokaThixo kwaye unguNyana wakhe, wonke umntu, abazelwe nguThixo nabangoYesu Kristu, baya kumoyika kwaye bamthande kwaye baphulaphule ilizwi laKhe kwaye bagcine imiyalelo yaKhe kwaye babe lingqina laKhe.
Abantu abangabakhe uYesu bayaliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe
Wathi uYesu, Izimvu zakhe ziyaliva ilizwi lakhe kwaye zimlandele. Oku kuthetha ukuba baphulaphula uYesu baze benze oko uYesu wayebayalele kona. Kwakhona uYesu wathi, Iigusha zakhe aziyi kuliva izwi lowasemzini, zimlandele owasemzini, kodwa ziyasaba kuye, ngokuba azilazi ilizwi labasemzini.
Inene, inene, Ndithi kuni, Lowo ungangeniyo ngalo isango ebuhlantini bezimvu, unyuka ngandlela yimbi, ukwaba lisela nomphangi. Ke yena ongena ngalo isango ngumalusi wezimvu. Umgcini-sango uyamvulela lowo; nezimvu ziyaliva ilizwi lakhe: uzibiza ngamagama ezakhe izimvu, wabakhuphela phandle. Naxa athe wazikhupha ezakhe izimvu, uhamba phambi kwabo, zaye izimvu zimlandela: ngokuba ziyalazi ilizwi lakhe. Owasemzini aziyi kumlandela, uya kusaba kuye: ngokuba azilazi izwi labasemzini (UYohane 10:1-5)
Amngqonga ngoko amaYuda, Yathi kuye, Koda kube nini usenza ukuba sithandabuze?? Ukuba wena unguye uKristu, sixelele ngokucacileyo. Wabaphendula uYesu, Ndikuxelele, kwaye awuphilwanga: imisebenzi endiyenzayo egameni likaBawo, bayangqina ngam. Kodwa awukholwa, ngokuba aningabezimvu zam, Njengoko benditshilo kuwe. Ezam izimvu ziyaliva ilizwi lam, kwaye ndiyabazi, bandilandela ke bona: mna ndizinika ubomi obungunaphakade; Kwaye azisayi kutshabalala, akukho bani uya kuzihlutha esandleni sam. Utata wam, eyandinika yona, mkhulu kunabo bonke; Kwaye akukho namnye unako ukubakhupha esandleni sikatata. Mna noBawo sibanye (UYohane 10:24-30)
AmaKristu amaninzi awalazi ilizwi likaYesu
Namhlanje baninzi abantu, abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu, kodwa ungalazi ilizwi likaYesu Kristu. Abaliphulaphuli ilizwi likaYesu kwaye abakwenzi oko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile. Kunoko, ziphulaphula izwi labasemzini.
Bamamela umtyholi nabantu, abathetha ngokwasenyameni, kwaye ubalandele kwaye uwathobele amazwi abo.
Uninzi lwamaKristu alufundanga kwaye ufunde iBhayibhile ngokwabo. Ke ngoko abawazi amazwi kunye nentando kaThixo kwaye abanalwazi lokulungileyo nokubi.
Endaweni yokuchitha ixesha noThixo kwaye ulazi ilizwi lakhe kwaye uphulaphule kwaye uzondle ngokwabo ngamazwi kaThixo, AmaKristu aphulaphula ihlabathi nazo zonke iintlobo zabashumayeli. Bazondla ngamazwi abo kwaye bawathathele ingqalelo amazwi abo njengenyaniso.
Abajongi ubomi babo kwaye iziqhamo abazithwalayo. Yaye abawathelekisi amazwi abo namazwi aseBhayibhileni. Kodwa bawathemba ngokumfamekileyo amazwi abo baze bawalandele. Konke ngenxa yokuba abayazi inyaniso kaThixo ngokwabo.
Kuba abayifundisisi iBhayibhile, kodwa ukholose ngamazwi abashumayeli, abangabenyama amaxesha amaninzi kunye nehlabathi kwaye bashumayele eyabo inyaniso, baba dikidiki kwaye bawexuke kuThixo nakwiLizwi laKhe. Abaphili ngokuvisisana nokuthanda kukaThixo kodwa baphila ngaphandle kokuthanda Kwakhe. Ngenxa yoko, ‘oonyana bakaThixo’ (kokubini amadoda nabafazi) musani ukuzahlula koonyana bakaMtyholi.
Ngaba amaKristu angumzekelo kaYesu?
AmaKristu amele ukuba abe yimbonakaliso kaYesu (uYesu Krestu oyinyaniso hayi i ixesha elitsha uYesu) kwaye bahambe ngokuthobela amazwi aKhe kwaye bazahlule ehlabathini.
Kodwa endaweni yokuba uYesu Krestu abe yiNkosi yobomi babo kwaye eve ilizwi Lakhe kwaye ethobela imiyalelo Yakhe, bayinkosi yobomi babo kwaye baphila emva kwentando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama yabo. Bathetha amazwi kwaye benze izinto, izinto ezilisikizi kuThixo ezinxamnye nentando yakhe.
Amaxesha amaninzi behlisa amanye amaKristu kunye nabo kwaye bangcolise ibandla ngokuziphatha kwabo okunesono kwaye balithathela ingqalelo igazi likaYesu njengenqambi..
Abantu bakaThixo bazahlula kwiintlanga zabahedeni ngokugcina umthetho. UYesu Krestu wazahlula kumntu wenyama, indalo endala, nge ukugcina imiyalelo kaThixo nokuwufeza umthetho, kunye namaKristu, abaye baba yindalo entsha kuKristu, bazahlule kwindalo endala, abehlabathi, bahamba ebumnyameni, ngokuhamba ngokholo ngokomthetho woMoya wobomi.
Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba amaKristu amaninzi aphulaphula ilizwi lehlabathi kunye nelizwi labashumayeli, abo banyamekela izinto zesimo esonakeleyo, bengabehlabathi, kwaye balithathele ingqalelo ilizwi lehlabathi njengelona gunya liphezulu ebomini babo, baphila njengehlabathi kwaye ke ngoko akukho mahluko phakathi kwamakholwa nabangakholwayo.
Maninzi amaKristu, abanyanisekileyo nabafuna ukuhamba ngokufanelekileyo, kodwa ngenxa yabashumayeli benyama kunye namanye amaKristu enyama, balahlekiswa bubuxoki babo kwaye baqhubeka besenza imisebenzi yenyama kwaye bazingisa esonweni kwaye bahlala bephila ngokuthanda kukaMtyholi ebukhobokeni bokufa..
Ithini iBhayibhile?
Kuwo omathathu amaxesha eBhayibhile, ukuthanda kukaThixo kuye kwahlala kuhleli. Hayi uThixo, kodwa abantu batshintsha. Abantu batshintsha bajija amazwi kaThixo beza nezinto ezintsha bashumayela owabo umyalezo.
Kanjalo, kufuneka siwucalule uMnqophiso oMdala, eyayitywinwe ngegazi lezilwanyana kwaye yayilungiselelwe ixhego lenyama, kunye noMnqophiso oMtsha, oko ikukuthi watywinwa ngegazi likaYesu kwaye yenzelwe umntu omtsha wokomoya. Nangona kunjalo, intando kaThixo ayizange iguquke kunye noMnqophiso oMtsha kwaye ayisayi kutshintsha!
Imisebenzi yenyama (o.k. ukuxoka, unqulo-zithixo, (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki (uhenyuzo, ubuhenyu, ukubukela amanyala, ukuphulula amalungu esini, ubudlelwane bezesondo abangengabo emtshatweni, ukwabelana ngesondo nabantu abaninzi okanye abantu besini sabo okanye abantwana okanye izilwanyana, njl.) ukukrexeza, iasango, ubusela, ubunxila njalo njalo, Ziyimisebenzi yabantu abadala kwaye ifanele ukutshitshiswa.
Le misebenzi yenyama ayikho kubomi boonyana bakaThixo.
Kwaye akukho mntu unokuze atsho, ukuba oku akunakwenzeka. Kuba iBhayibhile ithi ngamandla kaYesu Kristu noMoya oyiNgcwele, umntu omtsha unako ukuyisusa imisebenzi yenyama.
Inyaniso, uLizwi uyalela ukuba niyilahle imisebenzi yenyama noku likhuphe ixhego kwaye ukuya yambathani umntu omtsha, owadalwa ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. (Owu. Kwabase-Efese 4:20-32, KwabaseKolose 3:1-14).
Ukoyika uThixo nokuthanda komntu
Kodwa konke kuxhomekeke ekoyikeni nasekuthandeni uThixo nasekuthandeni komntu. Ngaba umntu uyamoyika aze amthande uThixo ngentliziyo yakhe yonke, umphefumlo, ingqondo, nokomelela nokuthobela intando yakhe ekuthandeni kukaThixo?
Ngaba umntu ukulungele ukubeka phantsi imisebenzi yenyama okanye ngaba umntu uthanda imisebenzi yenyama ngaphezu koThixo yaye ufuna ukuqhubeka esenza imisebenzi yenyama ukuze azikholise aze azalisekise iminqweno yenyama?? Ukuba okokugqibela kunjalo, abantu baya kufuna abashumayeli namanye amaKristu, abangabenyama njengabo, kwaye bathethe into abafuna ukuyiva kwaye baqinisekise kwaye bayivume imisebenzi yabo yenyama.
Iziqhamo zobomi babantu zingqina ukuba bangababani kwaye leliphi ilizwi abaliphulaphulayo
Abantu, abo bazelwe nguThixo kwaye ngenene bengabaKhe baya kuliphulaphula ilizwi laKhe. Naxa ilizwi likaThixo lingahambelani nentando okanye iimvakalelo zabo.
UYesu uthetha amazwi kaYise kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uthetha amazwi kaYesu. Ngoko ke uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala ethetha ngokwelizwi.
ILizwi lisisibonakalaliso sikaThixo nendalo yakhe kwaye lityhila intando yaKhe.
Ngoko ke, ukuba abantu bathi, umzekelo, ukuba ubuxoki obumhlophe obuncinane, ukutshata nongakholwayo, ukuhlala kunye engatshatanga, uhenyuzo, ubudlelwane bezesondo abangatshatanga, (ngokwesondo) ukungahlambuluki, ukukrexeza (uqhawulo-mtshato), isisu, I-Euthanasia, unqulo-zithixo, nobugqwirha abubi, nokubandakanyeka kwiinkonzo zaseMpuma, kunye nefilosofi kunye nezenzo, njengeyoga, ukucamngca, ukuqonda, reiki, i-acupuncture, ubuchwepheshe bokulwa, njl. ayibi kwaye iyingozi kwaye ivunyelwe kumaKristu, emva koko bazibeka ngaphezu koThixo kwaye bathetha ubuxoki kuba amazwi abo aphikisana namazwi kunye nentando kaThixo (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba unokwahlula ngokomoya kwiintanda-bulumko kunye nezenzo zaseMpuma? kwaye Ngaba unokuqhubeka ukona phantsi kobabalo?).
Amazwi abo angqina ukuba awabomoya kwaye abacalula oomoya kwaye abayazi intando kaThixo kwaye abaphili ngokweLizwi noMoya.. Ngoko ke, uze uwacekise amazwi abo, ubabaleke, endaweni yokuba bakholwe, bawathobele amazwi abo, bawalandele.
AmaKristu afanele aphile ngokuvisisana nemigaqo yeBhayibhile. ILizwi likaThixo limele libe lelona gunya liphakamileyo kubomi bamaKristu. Lo nto, AmaKristu’ ubomi buhambelana neLizwi.
Oku kwenzeka kuphela ukuba ukoyika uThixo noYesu Kristu kubuyela ebomini bamaKristu kwaye abeka uThixo neLizwi lakhe ngaphezu kwabantu nehlabathi..
Uliphulaphule ntoni?
Ukuba uzelwe nguThixo kwaye ungokaYesu Krestu kwaye uyinxalenye yomhlambi wakhe, uya kuliva ilizwi laKhe kwaye umlandele. Uya kwenza oko uYesu wakuthethayo kwaye ugcine imiyalelo yakhe, apho uya kuzahlula kulo ihlabathi kwaye ubonise ukuba ungunyana kaThixo endaweni yokuba ungunyana womtyholi.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
