KwabaseKolose 1:24-29 UPawulu wabhala ngokuba isikhonzi sikaKristu nokuhlupheka kwakhe ngenxa yebandla kanye nenani alikhokha ukuze agcwalise iZwi likaNkulunkulu.
AbaseKolose 1:24-29
Abajabulayo manje ekuhluphekeni kwami ngenxa yenu, futhi enyameni yami ngigcwalise okusilele kwezinhlupheko zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, okuyibandla: Ngenziwa isikhonzi sakho, ngokwesimiso sikaNkulunkulu engiphiwe mina ngenxa yenu, ukugcwalisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu; Ngisho nemfihlakalo ebifihliwe kusukela kudala nezizukulwane ngezizukulwane, kodwa manje isibonakalisiwe kwabangcwele baKhe: UNkulunkulu athanda ukubazisa ukuthi iyini ingcebo yenkazimulo yale mfihlakalo phakathi kwabezizwe; onguKristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo: Esimshumayelayo, exwayisa wonke umuntu, futhi nifundisa wonke umuntu ngokuhlakanipha konke; ukuze sethule wonke umuntu ephelele kuKristu Jesu: engikhandlekela khona nami, silwela ngokokusebenza Kwakhe, osebenza kimi ngamandla (AbaseKolose 1:24-29)
UPawulu wayengumfundisi kaJesu Kristu kanye nebandla futhi wayengenandaba nokudlula kuzo zonke izinhlupheko ngenxa kaKristu nangenxa yomzimba Wakhe..
UPawulu wayekwazi ukubaluleka kokushumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu emhlabeni nobizo izoni ekuphendukeni. Washumayela insindiso nokubuyisana kuNkulunkulu ngokholo nokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu (ukufa kwe Indoda endala (inyama) nokuvuka kwabafileyo baba umuntu omusha (umoya) kuKristu).
UPawulu wayazi ukuthi ngaphandle kokushunyayelwa kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu abantu abaningi babeyolahleka, okungahambisani nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Ngakho uPawulu washumayela ivangeli phakathi kwamaJuda nakwabezizwe, ebizwe kuye. Wabaxwayisa abantu, wahambela amabandla asendaweni futhi wakha abangcwele ekuhlakanipheni kukaNkulunkulu. Ukuze, babeyokwazi intando kaNkulunkulu futhi bakhule babe ngumfanekiso kaKristu.
UPawulu wakhokha inani ukuze agcwalise iZwi likaNkulunkulu
UPawulu wayazi ngokuzabalaza nobunzima futhi wayeqaphela inani lokugcwalisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabangcwele.. Ngakho uPawulu wabhekana nokuphikiswa, linga, kanye nokushushiswa ngesikhathi efeza umsebenzi wakhe njengomfundisi kaJesu Kristu kanye nebandla.
Ngoba ukugcwalisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabangcwele, kwakusho ukushumayela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu ngokugcwele futhi akubona bonke ababekwazisa lokhu.
UPawulu akazange nje akhulume amazwi akhuthazayo, kodwa namazwi anzima.
Wabiza abangcwele ukuba baphile ukuphila okungcwele futhi basuse isono ezimpilweni zabo, futhi uthembeke kuNkulunkulu.
UPawulu wayengakwesabi ukukhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu nokulungisa nokuxwayisa abangcwele. Ngoba ngaphandle kokulungiswa nezixwayiso abantu abakwazi ukukhula noma ukukhula ngendlela engafanele.
UPawulu wayala abangcwele kukho konke ukuhlakanipha. Wabalungisa wabaxwayisa ngothando, ngoba Wayengafuni ukuthi kulahleke loyedwa wabo, kodwa ukuthi konke kuzoba njalo futhi kuhlale kusindisiwe. (Funda futhi: Ike isindisiwe, njalo usindiswe iqiniso?).
Izikhathi eziningi amazwi anzima ayadingeka ukuvusa abantu ngokomoya futhi abangele ushintsho ebandleni (ezimpilweni zabangcwele).
Ukushunyayelwa kweqiniso kwevangeli
Nakuba amazwi kanye nendlela kaPawulu yokukhuluma yayihambisana nentando kaNkulunkulu, ezinsukwini zethu, amaKristu amaningi abheka amazwi kaPawulu futhi enza ngendlela enokhahlo, -ngabilula, futhi inhlukumeza.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amaKristu amaningi awanjalo azalwe kabusha., Inyama yabo isabusa futhi ingqondo yabo yenyama ibayalela ukuthi benzeni. Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu abasakwazi ukuzwa nokuthwala amazwi neqiniso likaNkulunkulu, futhi uthole ukuqondiswa nezixwayiso ezivela kuNkulunkulu.
Ngokuba umusa kaNkulunkulu wokusindisa ubonakalisiwe kubantu bonke, Esifundisa lokho, bephika ukungamesabi uNkulunkulu nezinkanuko zezwe, kufanele siphile ngokuhluzeka, ngokulunga, kanye lokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu, kulo mhlaba wamanje; Sibheke lelo themba elibusisekile, nokubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu; Owazinikela ngenxa yethu, ukuze Asihlenge kubo bonke ububi, futhi azihlanzele abantu abangaziwa, oshisekela imisebenzi emihle. Lezi zinto ziyakhuluma, futhi liyale, futhi usole ngawo wonke amandla. Makungabikho muntu okudelelayo (Thithu 2:11-15)
AmaKristu enyama awakwazi ukuzwa nokuthwala iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu
Abantu abaningi baholwa imizwa yabo. Lapho abantu bebaxwayisa futhi babaqondise, bazizwa becasukile, ethukuthele, ubuhlungu, futhi baphathwe ngokungafanele. Ngenxa yalokho, bayathukuthela basuke kumuntu noma isonto elibalungisile.
Lokhu kufakazela kuphela ukuthi umuntu ungowenyama futhi inyama yomuntu ayifanga kuKristu, kodwa usaphila futhi uyalawula. Ngeshwa amasonto amaningi athonywa yilokhu kuziphatha kwenyama.
Ukuze uvimbele amazwi abo abangela imizwa engathandeki nemizwelo kubantu, futhi abantu bezizwa becasukile futhi balishiya ibandla, abashumayeli nabadala bebandla bathule.
Abaxwayisi futhi balungise abantu, kodwa babayeke. Ngoba besaba ukulahlekelwa yibo.
Manje, babayeke benze ngendlela yabo, futhi usebenzise amagama othando, inhlonipho, kanye nokuthethelelwa ukuze bathethelele izenzo zabo.
Emasontweni amaningi, abaholi abagcini ngokushiya izivakashi zesonto zodwa, kodwa futhi bavumele bahlale benjalo futhi bathethelele izono zabo.
Baze bayale amalungu nezivakashi zesonto ukuba benze okufanayo futhi balandele isibonelo sabo. Futhi amabandla amaningi ayamukela imisebenzi yenyama engahambisani nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Abefundisi besonto besaba izwe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu
Abefundisi abaningi besonto besaba izwe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yokwesaba izwe, imibono yabantu, ukwenqatshwa, nokulahlekelwa abantu, Abafundisi besonto balungisa amazwi eBhayibheli bese belulaza ivangeli ngoba bethatha imizwa, imizwelo, kanye nemibono yabantu.
Futhi ngakho bayafakaza, ngezenzo zabo, ukuthi ukwesaba kwabo (ukwesaba) abantu mkhulu kunokwesaba kwabo uNkulunkulu. Bangene Uthando lwamanga nomusa wamanga futhi bangabagqugquzeli besono esikhundleni sabathuthukisi bokulunga.
Uthando nomusa kaNkulunkulu ayihambisani nezwe nesono. (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe uJesu ungumgqugquzeli wesono?)
Ukube wawungowomhlaba, umhlaba ubungathanda okwakhe: Kepha ngoba awuyena owomhlaba, kodwa mina ngilikhethile emhlabeni, ngalokho izwe liyanizonda. Khumbulani izwi engalikhuluma kini, Inceku ayinkulu kunenkosi yayo. Uma bengishushisile, bayakunizingela nani; Uma beligcinile izwi lami, bayokugcina neyakho. Kepha zonke lezi zinto zizokwenza kuwe ngenxa yegama lami, ngoba abamazi lowo ongithumileyo (UJohane 15:19-21)
Uthando oluphelele luxosha kanjani ukwesaba
UNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, ukuthi wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe eyodwa uJesu Kristu, UJesu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yothando, futhi uma nithanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke, uzonikela ukuphila kwakho kuYe. NjengoPaul, owayethanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi enikele ukuphila kwakhe konke—nangenxa Yakhe futhi engazange athembele kuye, kodwa wencika kuye ngenhliziyo yonke.
Ngokungafani nabaholi abaningi bamasonto namuhla, abahamba ngokwesaba abantu futhi bazwelane futhi bavumelane nobubi bezwe futhi balungise futhi/noma balahle amazwi kaNkulunkulu., UPawulu wahamba othandweni lwe (futhi for) UNkulunkulu, okwakhipha konke ukwesaba.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu lunqoba noma yiluphi uhlobo lokwesaba, futhi akhiphe: ukwesaba umhlaba, ukwesaba abantu, ukwesaba udeveli namademoni, ukwesaba ukushumayela ivangeli, ukwesaba ukukhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, ukwesaba ukwaliwa, ukwesaba ukumelana, ukwesaba ukushushiswa, ukwesaba ukuzikhandla, ukwesaba ukuhlupheka, njll.
Naphezu kwakho konke ukumelana, ukwebiza, ukuboshwa ngenxa yeGama likaJesu Kristu, UPawulu waqhubeka futhi wabekezelela zonke izinto ukuze aqedele umsebenzi wakhe futhi agcwalise iZwi likaNkulunkulu, ngisho imfihlakalo ebifihliwe kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo nasezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane, kodwa wembulwa kwabangcwele baKhe, nokuyala nokufundisa wonke umuntu ngokuhlakanipha konke kukaNkulunkulu ukuba ethule wonke umuntu ephelele kuKristu Jesu.
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu akasinikanga umoya wokwesaba; kodwa amandla, nezothando, kanye nengqondo ehluzekile. Ngakho-ke ungabi namahloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, noma ngami isiboshwa saKhe: kodwa yiba ngumhlanganyeli ezinsizini zevangeli ngokwamandla kaNkulunkulu; Osisindisile, wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungenjengokwemisebenzi yethu, kodwa ngokwenhloso yakhe kanye lomusa wakhe, esanikwa thina kuKristu Jesu kungakabikho izwe, Kodwa khathesi ibonakalisiwe ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, oqede ukufa, futhi uveze ukuphila nokungafi ekukhanyeni ngevangeli: engimiselwe ukuba ngumshumayeli kukho, kanye nomphostoli, lomfundisi wabezizwe. Kungakho nami ngihlupheka ngalezi zinto: nokho anginamahloni: ngoba ngiyamazi engikholiweyo, futhi ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi uyakwazi ukugcina lokho engikubeke kuye kuze kufike lolo suku
