Ku 1 AbaseKorinte 15:29, UPawulu wakhuluma ngokubhapathizelwa kwabafileyo. Wayesho ukuthini uPawulu ngokubhapathizelwa abafileyo, ngoba asifundanga ndawo eBhayibhelini ngokubhapathizelwa abafileyo? Ingabe abantu babebhapathizwa emathuneni? Lapho abafileyo babhapathiza khona? Noma ingabe abantu babhapathizwa ngenxa yabafileyo? IKorinte yayigcwele ukukhonza izithombe namasiko nemikhuba yokulumba. Kodwa ingabe uPawulu wakhuluma ngesiko lamaqaba, okwakusenziwa ebandleni lenyama laseKorinte? Kungenzeka ukuthi ukubhabhadiswa kwabafile kwakusenziwa yibandla laseKorinte njengoba ibandla laliyibandla lenyama futhi lenza izinto eziningi., okwakuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu. Nokho, ukubhapathizelwa abafileyo kungase kusho okunye.
IVangeli likaJesu Kristu
Kubalulekile ukufunda ubhapathizo lwabafileyo kumongo. Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukubheka lokho uPawulu ayebhala ngakho lapho uPawulu ekhuluma ngokubhapathizelwa kwabafileyo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, bazalwane, ngitshumayela kini ivangeli engalitshumayela kini, enayamukeliswa futhi, lalapho enimi khona; elisindiswa ngalo futhi, uba ligcina enkumbulweni engalitshumayela kini, ngaphandle kokuthi likholwe ize.
Ngokuba kuqala kunakho konke nganinika lokho engakwamukela nami, ukuthi uKristu wafela izono zethu njengokwemibhalo; Nokuthi Wangcwatshwa, nokuthi wavuka ngosuku lwesithathu njengokwemibhalo: Nokuthi wabonwa nguKhefase, kwasekuba kwabayishumi nambili: Ngemva kwalokho, wabonwa ngasikhathi sinye kubazalwane abangaphezu kwamakhulu amahlanu; iningi labo lisekhona namanje, kodwa abanye balele. Ngemva kwalokho, Wabonwa nguJakobe; kwasekusithi kubo bonke abaphostoli. Ekugcineni kwabo bonke wabonakala nakimi, njengalowo ozelwe kungakabi yisikhathi.
Ngokuba mina ngingomncinyane kubaphostoli, engingafanele ukubizwa ngokuthi umphostoli, ngoba ngazingela ibandla likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyikho engiyikho: futhi umusa wakhe phezu kwami awubanga yize; kepha ngisebenze kakhulu kunabo bonke: nokho hhayi mina, kodwa umusa kaNkulunkulu olami. Ngakho-ke noma ngabe yimi noma bona, ngakho siyashumayela, nakholwa kanjalo. (1 AbaseKorinte 15:1-11)
UPawulu wabhala ngevangeli, awatshumayela kwabangcwele eKorinte, futhi ababekutholile futhi lapho okwakufanele bame futhi ngakho basindiswa, uma begcina esikhumbuzweni ababeshiwo uPawulu kubo, ngaphandle uma ukukholwa kwabo bekungaba yize.
Ivangeli uPawulu alishumayelayo laliwukufa, ukungcwatshwa, nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu nokuvela Kwakhe.
Kuthiwani uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo?
Manje uma uKristu eshunyayelwa ukuthi Wavuka kwabafileyo, basho kanjani abanye phakathi kwenu ukuthi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo? Kodwa uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, khona-ke uKristu akavuswanga: Futhi uma uKristu engavuswanga, khona-ke ukushumayela kwethu kuyize, nokukholwa kwenu nakho kuyize. Yebo, futhi sifunyanwa singofakazi bamanga bakaNkulunkulu; ngoba safakaza ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi wamvusa uKristu: Angamvusanga, uba kambe abafileyo kabavuki.
Ngoba uma abafileyo bavuka, Ngemuva kwalokho akuyeki uKristu: Futhi uma uKristu engavuswanga, Ukukholwa kwakho kuyize; Nisezonweni Zakho. Khona-ke nalabo asebalala bekuKristu babhubhile. Uma kulokhu kuphila kuphela sinethemba kuKristu, thina sidabukile kunabantu bonke (1 AbaseKorinte 15:12-19).
Evesini 12, UPawulu waqhubeka futhi wabhekana nebandla ukuthi nakuba babeshumayela ukuthi uJesu Kristu wavuka kwabafileyo, abanye phakathi kwabo bathi, kwakungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
UJesu Kristu wayeMuntu ngokugcwele futhi engowokuqala, Owavuka kwabafileyo. Ngakho-ke uma bekungeke kube khona ukuvuka kwabafileyo, UKristu ubengeke avuke kwabafileyo.
Futhi uma uKristu ubengeke avuke kwabafileyo, khona-ke ivangeli laliyoba yize futhi ukholo lwabo lwaluyoba yize futhi lungabi nazithelo (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe uJesu wayengumuntu ngokuphelele?'Futhi'Ukukholwa okungenakho okuqukethwe').
Ukube bekungeke kube khona ukuvuka kwabafileyo noKristu ubengeke avuswe kwabafileyo, khona-ke bonke abashumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu bayoba ofakazi bamanga aka amanga, ababeshumayela amanga kaNkulunkulu, ngoba bashumayela ukuthi uNkulunkulu umvusile uJesu Kristu kwabafileyo, kuyilapho uNkulunkulu engamvusanga uJesu kwabafileyo.
Ukube abafileyo bebengeke bavuswe futhi uJesu Kristu akazange avuswe kwabafileyo, ukholo lwabo lwaluyoba yize futhi lube yize futhi babeyobe besesezonweni zabo futhi labo ababelele kuKristu babeyobe sebebhubhile..
Uma babekholelwa ukuthi ithemba labo kuKristu lalingelokuphila kwesikhashana nje emhlabeni, khona-ke bangaba lusizi kakhulu futhi abadatshukelwa kakhulu.
Kafushane, uba bekungayikuba khona ukuvuka kwabafileyo:
- UKristu akakavuswa kwabafileyo futhi usefile
- UJesu akazange athathe izihluthulelo zesihogo nokufa
- Akukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
- Abantu abanakwenziwa abalungileyo futhi babe ngcwele
- Izoni zihlala ziyizoni, ngoba bangaphansi kokufa futhi bahlala beyizigqili zesono,
- Bekungeke kwenzeke ukuthi uzalwe kabusha futhi ungene eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu
- Isikhundla somuntu owile asikabuyiswa
- Umuntu akakwazi ukubuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi abe indodana kaNkulunkulu,
- Akwenzeki ukwamukela uMoya oNgcwele nokuhamba emva kukaMoya,
- Abafileyo bahlala befile,
- Labo, abalele kuKristu babhubhile
- Alikho ithemba, ngoba umuntu ufa kanye, umuntu uhlala efile
Kodwa kuthiwani uma kukhona ukuvuka kwabafileyo?
Kodwa manje uKristu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, futhi babe Ulibo lwalabo abalalayo. Ngokuba njengoba ukufa kweza ngomuntu, futhi ngomuntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo kweza. Ngokuba njengalokhu ku-Adamu bonke bayafa, ngokunjalo nakuKristu bonke bayakuphiliswa. Kodwa yilowo nalowo ngohlelo lwakhe: UKristu Ulibo; emva kwalokho abangabakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe. Bese kufika isiphetho, lapho esenikele umbuso kuNkulunkulu, ngisho noBaba; lapho esechithile konke ukubusa nawo wonke amandla namandla. Ngokuba Umelwe ukubusa, aze abeke izitha zonke phansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
Isitha sokugcina esiyakuchithwa singukufa;. Ngokuba ubeke zonke izinto phansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Kodwa nxa ethi zonke izinto zibekwe phansi Kwakhe, kusobala ukuthi ungaphandle, owabeka zonke izinto ngaphansi kwakhe. Futhi lapho zonke izinto ziyothotshiswa kuYe, khona nayo iNdodana iyakuzithoba phansi kwalowo owabeka zonke izinto phansi kwayo, ukuze uNkulunkulu abe yikho konke kukho konke.
Uma kungenjalo bazokwenzani ababhapathizelwa abafileyo na?, uba abafileyo bengavuki lakanye? pho babhabhathizelwani abafileyo?
Futhi kungani sizibeka engcupheni ihora ngalinye? ngifakaza ngokuzibonga enginakho kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, Ngiyafa nsuku zonke. Uma ngendlela yabantu ngalwa nezilo e-Efesu, kungisiza ngani, uba abafileyo bengavuki? asidle, siphuze; ngoba kusasa sizakufa.
Ungakhohliswa: ukujwayelana nababi konakalisa ukuziphatha okuhle. Phaphamani ekulungeni, futhi ningoni; ngoba abanye kabamazi uNkulunkulu: ngikhuluma lokhu kube yihlazo kini (1 AbaseKorinte 15:20-34)
Bese ungena 1 AbaseKorinte 15:35-58, UPawulu waqhubeka ngokuvuka kwabafileyo futhi ukhuluma ngomzimba ovuswayo.
Esigabeni esingenhla, UPawulu wabhala ngeqiniso lokuthi ukufa kweza ngomuntu, kodwa ngomuntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo kweza. Ngokuba njengalokhu ku-Adamu bonke bayafa, ngokunjalo nakuKristu bonke bayakuphiliswa.
Lokhu kakade kuqala phakathi nokuphila emhlabeni ngokuzalwa kabusha. Ngoba uma umuntu engazalwa ngokusha kuKristu, umuntu uhlala eboshiwe kuze kube sekufeni futhi uphila ngaphansi kwegunya (amandla) lokufa futhi bayohlala befile ngokomoya futhi ngeke bakwazi ukubona noma ukungena Umbuso kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bayakuhlala embusweni wobumnyama, futhi nihlale niyingxenye yebandla labafileyo (Funda futhi: ‘Umvini waseSodoma‘).
Iyini incazelo yobhapathizo?
13:13 Enisokwa kuye futhi ngokusoka okwenziwa ngezandla, ekuhlubuleni umzimba wezono zenyama ngokusoka kukaKristu: Wangcwatshwa naYe embhapathizweni, lapho futhi navuswa kanye naye ngokukholwa kokusebenza kukaNkulunkulu, Owamvusa kwabafileyo. Nawe, nifile ezonweni zenu nasekungasokini kwenyama yenu, Uphile kanye Naye, selithethelele zonke iziphambeko; Wesula umbhalo wesandla wemithetho owawumelene nathi, okwakuphambene nathi, wayisusa endleleni, ewubethela esiphambanweni saKhe; Futhi esonakalisa izikhulu namandla, Wababukisa obala, enqoba phezu kwabo kuwo (AbaseKolose 2:11-15).
Ubhapathizo alukona nje ukuhlanzwa esonweni futhi akulona umkhuba wobuKristu okufanele wenziwe njalo. Futhi ubhapathizo aluhloselwe ukukhipha amademoni nokukhulula abantu. Ubhapathizo luyisinqumo sawo wonke umuntu, okholelwa kuJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi uzimisele ukubeka phansi impilo yakhe kuKristu futhi amlandele.
Akunakwenzeka ukubhapathizwa egameni labanye, ingasaphathwa egameni labafileyo; lezo, asebefile ngokwemvelo (Funda futhi: ‘Kuyini ubhapathizo?’ futhi ‘Ingabe ukubhapathizwa kuyafana nokubhapathizwa kwabantu abadala?‘)
Umbhabhadiso umele ukufa, ukungcwatshwa, nokuvuka kuKristu. Uma ubhapathiziwe-ke uzibandakanya nokufa, ukungcwatshwa, nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu; ikhehla (inyama) ofa kuYe wembelwe, nomuntu omusha (umoya) uvusiwe kwabafileyo kuye. Umuntu omusha wembethe uKristu futhi wahlanganiswa Naye, ngombhaphathizo eGameni laKhe, futhi kayisahlanganiswa nokufa (Oh. IzEnzo 19:5, AmaRoma 6:3-4, 1 AbaseKorinte 1:13-17; 12:13, KwabaseGalathiya 3:27).
Ukufa, ukungcwatshwa kanyeukubusa kuKristu
Kepha uNkulunkulu, Ocebile ngesihe, Ngothando lwakhe olukhulu asithanda ngalo, Ngisho nalapho besifile esonweni, Uphilisise Kanye NoKristu, (Ngomusa nisindisiwe;) Futhi wasikhulisa ndawonye, Futhi sasenza sahlala ndawonye ezindaweni zaseZulwini kuKristu Jesu: Ukuthi enkathini yokuza angatshengisa umcebo odlula ophezu komusa wakhe kithi ngathi ngoKristu Jesu. Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa; nalokhu akuveli kini: kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu: Hhayi okwemisebenzi, hlezi umuntu ozibongayo. Ngoba thina singumsebenzi wakhe, Edalwe KuKristu Jesu Kwemisebenzi Emihle, uNkulunkulu wangaphambi kokukhululwa uNkulunkulu ukuthi kufanele sihambe kuzo(Kwabase-Efesu 2:4-10)
Ungcwatshwe kanye noKristu ngokubhapathizwa kwabafileyo. Ngokufa nokungcwatshwa kwenyama, uhlengiwe emthethweni wesono nokufa, obusa futhi usebenza enyameni. Njengoba inyama yakho isifile, nafa esonweni. Awusesona isigqila sesono nokufa.
Ngenxa yokuthi uKristu akazange ahlale efile, kodwa ngobukhosi bukaBaba, wavuswa kwabafileyo, umoya wakho nawo uvusiwe kwabafileyo futhi uyohamba ekuphileni okusha.
Ngenxa yalokho, umthetho wesono nokufa awusabusa phezu kwenu, ngoba umthetho wesono nokufa uyabusa enyameni, lenyama yenu ifile kuKristu. Manje, umthetho kaMoya wokuphila uyabusa kini, futhi niholwa ngomthetho kaMoya, elimele intando kaNkulunkulu.
Njengoba umoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo futhi usungumuntu omusha, indodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi bathole imvelo entsha, niyohamba ngokulalela intando kaBaba futhi nenze imisebenzi yokulunga
Kodwa nina anisenyameni, kodwa ngoMoya, uba kambe uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehlala kini. Manje uma umuntu engenaye uMoya kaKristu, akasiye owaKhe. Futhi uma uKristu ekini, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ungukuphila ngenxa yokulunga. Kepha uma umoya walowo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo ehlala kuwe, Lowo ovusa uKristu kwabafileyo uyakushesha aphilise imizimba yenu efayo ngomoya wayo ohlala kuwe (AmaRoma 8:9-11)
Ngokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo nangokuhlala kukaMoya kaNkulunkulu, awusafile ngokomoya, kodwa seniphilele uNkulunkulu.
Futhi uma uMoya kaNkulunkulu owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo uhlala kini, khona-ke uyakuphilisa imizimba yenu efayo ngoMoya wakhe, Ohlala kuwe angeke ukubone ukufa.
Nakuba uzofa ngokomzimba, awuyikubona ukufa, ungangeni ekufeni, kodwa ukuphila (UJohane 8:51)
Uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, ubhapathizelwani ngenxa yabafileyo?
Kodwa… uma kungakholelwa ukuthi kukhona ukuvuka kwabafileyo futhi ngenxa yalokho uKristu akavuswa kwabafileyo, khona-ke uJesu Kristu usefile.
Ivangeli lonke, okuzungeza ukufa, ukungcwatshwa, nokuvuka kukaKristu nokuhlengwa kwesintu esiwile nokwelapha isintu, othi kwabafileyo angene ekuphileni ngokuzalwa kutsha, kungaba amanga amakhulu, ngoba uKristu ubengavuswanga kwabafileyo, kodwa ngabe usefile.
Uma uKristu engavuswanga kwabafileyo, izono zakho azikathethelelwa futhi useyisoni futhi usafile ngokomoya ngenxa yokuzithoba kwakho ekufeni nezono zakho nobubi bakho..
Uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, kungani umuntu evuma ukubhapathizelwa abafileyo?
Uma labo abafile ngokomoya bengaphili ngokomoya, babhaphathizwani?
Kungani ubhapathizwa kuKristu, ngubani ofileyo futhi (ngokomoya) -fileyo, uba kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo? Kusiza ngani ukubhapathizwa uma abafileyo bengavuswa nhlobo? Kungani ungabhapathizwa uma wena, abafile ngokomoya, abhabhadiswe ekufeni Kwakhe futhi ahlale engcwatshwe ekufeni Kwakhe?
Uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, kungani ufisa ukuhlupheka uzonde futhi ushushiswe yizwe ngesikhathi usaphila emhlabeni? Kungani ufuna ukubekezelela usizi, uma nibhubha emva kokuphila kwenu emhlabeni?
Kungani uPawulu nabanye babezovuma ukuhlala besengozini futhi bashushiswe ngenxa yalokho ababekushumayela, uma kwakungelona iqiniso? Kungani bengenza umzamo ongaka ekushumayeleni ivangeli futhi banikele ngezimpilo zabo ngenxa yevangeli, uba bekungayikuba khona ukuvuka kwabafileyo (ngesikhathi nangemva kokuphila emhlabeni)?
UPawulu wayefa nsuku zonke futhi eshushiswa ngenxa yevangeli, washumayela, okungamandla kaNkulunkulu. Ivangeli, okunamandla kangangokuthi kwenza abafileyo baphile kuKristu, phakathi nangemva kokuphila emhlabeni.
