UJesu wenza lokho umalusi omuhle okufanele akwenze. UJesu wondla izimvu futhi waziqinisa. Wabopha ezaphukileyo, welapha abagulayo, wafuna abalahlekile, futhi ilethe abalahlekile ekhaya. UJesu wayala abafundi bakhe ukuba balandele isibonelo saKhe. Wayala amakholwa ukuthi alishumayele ivangeli emhlabeni wonke. Ngobani? Ukufuna abalahlekile nokuletha abalahlekile ekhaya futhi babuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi babe yingxenye yomhlambi Wakhe. Kodwa ingabe amaKristu asaletha abalahlekile ekhaya?
Abelusi bendlu ka-Israyeli badukisa izimvu futhi bazihlakaza
Abantu bami bebeyizimvu ezilahlekile: abelusi babo babadukisile, babajikisile ezintabeni: basuka entabeni baya egqumeni, bakhohlwe indawo yabo yokuphumula. Bonke ababatholayo babadlile: nezitha zabo zathi, Asikhubeki, ngoba bonile kuJehova, indawo yokuhlala yobulungisa, ngisho iNkosi, ithemba laboyise (Jeremiya 50:6-7)
Nakuba abaholi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli babenolwazi oluningi ngokwesiko, babengamazi uNkulunkulu nezindlela Zakhe. Ngoba babengamazi uNkulunkulu nezindlela Zakhe, bahamba ngezindlela okungezona izindlela zikaNkulunkulu futhi bashumayela izinto ezingaholeli ekulungeni nasekuphileni, kodwa esonweni nasekufeni.
Ngamazwi anenkohliso nokuziphatha kanye nezimpilo zabaholi, abaphambukile kuNkulunkulu, Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bahlubuka kuNkulunkulu. (Funda futhi: Umoya ka-Eli).
Izimvu zahlakazeka zahamba ngendlela yazo, njengoba nje abaholi babo bahamba ngendlela yabo. Bazihlanganisa nezizwe ezingamaqaba futhi bamukela izithombe zabo, imikhuba yobuqaba, amasiko, kanye nemikhuba.
Ngokungazi nokuntula kwabo ulwazi lweqiniso, babecabanga ukuthi bahamba endleleni efanele futhi bajabulisa uNkulunkulu. (Funda futhi: Wonke amasiko ayanyamalala kuKristu).
Abelusi babewushiyile umsebenzi wabo. Babematasa kakhulu ngabo futhi bengenandaba nezimvu nenhlalakahle yazo. Ngakho-ke bashiya izimvu kwezazo ikusasa.
Abelusi babengenandaba lapho imvu iduka futhi iminza emanzini. Babengenandaba lapho imvu iwela kwalasha noma ilinyazwe noma ibulawe impisi. Ngakho umhlambi waba mncane futhi waba mncane. (Funda futhi: Abafundisi abaningi bahola izimvu kwalasha).
Abelusi bendlu ka-Israyeli abazange bamlalele uNkulunkulu nabaprofethi Bakhe
UNkulunkulu wabona konke futhi wazama ukufinyelela abelusi ngabaprofethi Bakhe. Kodwa abelusi abaqhoshayo nabanenkani babengafuni ukulalela abaprofethi. Babengafuni ukulungiswa ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi ngokuqinisekile babengafuni ukuzithoba phambi kweNkosi. Ngakho-ke, bathulisa abaprofethi ngokubabulala, ukuze bangawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu okuyala (Oh. UHezekeli 34, Mathewu 23:31, Luka 11;47).
Kanye ngesikhashana, kwavuka umuntu, owalalela amazwi abaprofethi futhi wenza ukuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu babuyele kuNkulunkulu futhi bahambe ezindleleni Zakhe. Kodwa emva kwesikhathi esithile, abanye bavuka, owaba ngokungathembeki emazwini nasemthethweni kaNkulunkulu futhi washiya uNkulunkulu wathatha abantu wahamba nabo.
UJohane uMbhapathizi wababuyisela ekhaya abalahlekile
Ngalezo zinsuku kwafika uJohane uMbhapathizi, etshumayela enkangala yeJudiya, Futhi ethi, Phendukani: ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele. Ngokuba nguye okwakhulunywa ngaye u-Isaya umprofethi, ethi, Izwi Lomuntu Olikhale Ehlane, Lungisa indlela yeNkosi, qondisa izindlela zaKhe (Mathewu 3:1-3)
Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu athathe indima Yakhe njengoMalusi futhi afeze umsebenzi Wakhe, UJohane weza ukuzolungisa indlela yeNkosi uJesu.
Ehlane, ehlukanisiwe nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, UJohane wayehlonyiselwe futhi walungiselelwa uNkulunkulu umsebenzi wakhe nesigijimi ayezosishumayela, okungukuthi, ukufika kukaJesu Kristu, ubizo lokuphenduka, kanye ubhapathizo lokuphenduka.
UJohane wayengumanduleli kaJesu kanye nesigijimi sakhe, ayishumayela ngendlela enje, isisindo, negunya abantu okwakumelwe balilalele futhi balilalele, wabizela abantu ekuphendukeni futhi wabuyisela abaningi bendlu kaIsrayeli ababelahlekile ekhaya (Mathewu 3:1-12, Maka 1:1-8, Luka 3:1-20, UJohane 1:19-34).
Ngaphandle kwabaholi, ababezidla futhi benenkani. Benqaba ukuphenduka futhi babhapathizwe. UJohane wabona ububi babo nangenxa yesibindi sakhe, akazange ayeke ukubatshela iqiniso.
Naphezu kokugxekwa nokumelana nabaholi, UJohane waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe, ngalokho-ke wamiswa nguNkulunkulu futhi waletha abalahlekile ekhaya. (Funda futhi: uJohane uMbhapathizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
uJesu, uMalusi Omuhle
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, ukuthi uJesu weza evela eNazaretha laseGalile, wabhapathizwa nguJohane eJordani. Futhi masinyane ekhuphuka ephuma emanzini, Wabona amazulu evulekile, noMoya njengejuba ehlela phezu kwakhe: Kwavela izwi ezulwini, ethi, Uyindodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngaye (Maka 1:9-11)
Ngokuphambene nabaholi bendlu ka-Israyeli, uJesu, owayengubani ukusoka Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili, wazithoba phansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esinamandla, ngokunaka ubizo lukaJohane lokubhabhathizwa nguJohane. UNkulunkulu wakubona, futhi wayethokozile ngeNdodana yakhe futhi uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kukaJesu (Oh. Mathewu 3:13-17, Maka 1:9-11, Luka 3:21-22).
UJesu wemukela uMoya oNgcwele futhi uMoya oNgcwele waholela uJesu ehlane. Ehlane, UJesu wayelungiselwe umsebenzi Wakhe ayewumiselwe, nomsebenzi, Wafika.
Ngoba 40 izinsuku, UJesu walingwa usathane. Nokho, UJesu akazange alingwe amazwi kadeveli kodwa wamelana nodeveli ngokuphikisa amazwi akhe ngeqiniso likaNkulunkulu. (Oh. Mathewu 4:1-11, Maka 1:12-13, Luka 4:1-13 (Funda futhi: Ngizokunikeza ingcebo yomhlaba)),
Ngemva 40 izinsuku, UJesu waqala umsebenzi wakhe ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. UJesu washumayela ngoMbuso futhi wabiza abantu ukuba baphenduke. Ngamazwi kanye nemisebenzi Yakhe, UJesu wondla izimvu, wanakekela izimvu, abophe abaphukile, waphulukisa izimvu. UJesu wafuna imvu elahlekile, waseletha imvu elahlekileyo ekhaya. Futhi ekugcineni, UJesu wanikela ngokuphila Kwakhe ngenxa yezimvu. (Funda futhi: Ukuhlupheka nokugconwa kukaJesu Kristu).
UJesu wabaletha ekhaya abalahlekile
ngiyakwelusa umhlambi waMi, ngizabalalisa, isho iNkosi uJehova. ngiyakufuna obekulahlekile, futhi libuyise elixoshiweyo, futhi uyobopha lokho okuphukile, futhi uyoqinisa owayegula: kepha abakhulupheleyo nabanamandla ngiyakuchitha; ngizazondla ngokwahlulela (UHezekeli 34:15-16)
Amazwi nemisebenzi Yakhe kwafakazela ukuthi uJesu unguMalusi Omuhle nokuthi Yena namazwi Akhe banokwethenjelwa. UJesu waba nesihawu futhi wanakekela izimvu futhi akazange azishiye esiphethweni sazo. (Funda futhi: UJesu umuntu onozwela).
Ngingumelusi omuhle: Umelusi Omuhle Unika Ukuphila Kwakhe Ngenxa Yezimvu (UJohane 10:11)
UJesu wondla futhi wanakekela izimvu ngeqiniso laKhe, ukulungisa, namazwi okuyala, eyavela kuBaba.
Abantu balalela uJesu futhi bamangala ngezimfundiso zakhe. Ngoba uJesu wabafundisa njengomuntu onegunya hhayi njengababhali (Mathewu 7:28-29).
Ngakho uJesu wabuyisela umhlambi futhi waletha ikhaya elilahlekile.
UJesu wayala abafundi bakhe ukuba balandele isibonelo saKhe.
Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu abuyele kuYise, UJesu wanika abafundi bakhe lo msebenzi. UJesu wabayala, phakathi kwabanye, ukushumayela ivangeli emhlabeni wonke nokuletha abalahlekile ekhaya futhi ukondle ngeqiniso likaNkulunkulu; amazwi kaNkulunkulu angayekethisi futhi awenze abafundi bakaJesu Kristu, abahamba ngendlela yaKhe (Oh. Mathewu 10:27-28, Maka 16:15-18, Luka 24:46-49, UJohane 20:21-23).
Abafundi bayiletha ngempela ekhaya elahlekile
Enginitshela khona ebumnyameni, elikhuluma ekukhanyeni: nalokho enikuzwa endlebeni, enishumayela phezu kwezindlu. Ningabesabi ababulala umzimba, kodwa kabakwazi ukubulala umphefumulo: kodwa kakhulu mesabeni lowo onamandla okubhubhisa nomphefumulo nomzimba esihogweni (Mathewu 10:27-28)
Ngakho hambani, futhi nifundise izizwe zonke, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise, neyeNdodana, kanye loMoya oNgcwele: nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho: futhi, lo, Nginawe njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni kwezwe. Amen (Mathewu 28:19-20)
Amakholwa nabafundi bakaJesu bawuthatha lomthwalo wemfanelo. Balalela amazwi kaJesu futhi benza lokho uJesu ayebayale ukuba bakwenze. (Funda futhi: Abezwayo qhathanisa nabenzi).
Emva kokuba bemukele uMoya oNgcwele, bahamba emhlabeni. Bashumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye nendlela yensindiso (ivangeli lensindiso) futhi ilethe abalahlekile ekhaya.
Futhi lomlayezo wevangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye nendlela yensindiso ayikashintshi. Amazwi nokuthunywa kukaJesu Kristu nakho akukashintshi. Zisasebenza kuwo wonke amakholwa, abazelwe ngokusha kuKristu ngokukholwa futhi babe isidalwa esisha; indodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), futhi bangabakaNkulunkulu futhi baphile njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu alalelayo futhi enze intando Yakhe.
Ingabe amaKristu asaletha abalahlekile ekhaya?
Wonke umKristu, obekufanele abe yikholwa, kufanele bashumayele ivangeli namazwi kaNkulunkulu angazenzisi, ukuze imiphefumulo elahlekileyo isindiswe. Ngoba wngaphandle kokutshunyayelwa kwevangeli, imiphefumulo eminingi ilahleke. (Funda futhi: Uma amaKrestu ethule, oyakukhulula abathunjwa bobumnyama?)
Uma imiphefumulo ingasindisiwe, bayakulahlwa, baye esihogweni. Nangosuku lokwahlulela, lapho bonke abantu behlulelwa ngokwemisebenzi yabo, bayakuphonswa echibini lomlilo. Ngoba wonke umuntu, ongalotshiwe eNcwadini yokuPhila, lizaphonswa echibini lomlilo, okungukufa kwesibili (IsAmbulo 20:11-15).
Negazi labo, abanye bazophendula. Ngoba abazange bakwenze lokho uJesu ayebayalile ukuba bakwenze.
