Kukangaki abantu bezenza izithembiso, kodwa ungawagcini? Bathembisa zonke izinhlobo zezinto, kodwa kuzo zonke lezithembiso, lokho kungase kubonakale kuqotho futhi kunokwethenjelwa, akuveli lutho. Athembeke kangakanani amazwi nezithembiso zabantu? Futhi yeka ukuthi zithembeke kangakanani amazwi nezithembiso zamaKristu kulezi zinsuku? Kuthiwani ngawe? Ingabe uyakwenza lokho okushoyo futhi uyazigcina izethembiso zakho noma uthembisa okunye wenze okunye? KuMathewu 21:28-32, sifunda ngomfanekiso wamadodana amabili. Wayefuna ukuthini uJesu ngalomfanekiso? Usho ukuthini umfanekiso wamadodana amabili?
Kungani uJesu abuza ukuthi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela ezulwini noma kubantu?
Kwathi uJesu esafundisa ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe beza kuJesu, bambuza ukuthi uzenza ngagunya lini lezi zinto nokuthi ubani owamnika amandla. UJesu wabaphendula wathi, ukuthi Wayezophendula umbuzo wabo uma bengaphendula umbuzo waKhe. Ngakho uJesu wababuza ukuthi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela ezulwini noma kubantu.
Abapristi abakhulu namalunga bakhulumisana bodwa. Uma bengathi esezulwini, khona uJesu wayebabuza, kungani bengakholwanga.
Ngoba uma babekholwa ukuthi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela ezulwini futhi luvela kuNkulunkulu, khona-ke babeyokholwa ukuthi uJohane uMbhapathizi wayethunywe uNkulunkulu futhi babeyolalela amazwi akhe futhi babeyobhapathizwa (Funda futhi: ‘uJohane uMbhapathizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
Kodwa babengakabhapathizwa. Ngakho-ke, babengakholwa ukuthi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela ezulwini kodwa kubantu.
Kodwa abapristi abakhulu namalunga babesaba abantukazana uma bethi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela kubantu, ngoba bonke bathi uJohane ungumprofethi.
Ngakho-ke, ngokwesaba abantu, abapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe bamphendula uJesu ukuthi abazi ukuthi ubhapathizo lukaJohane lwaluvela ezulwini noma kubantu..
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi abawuphendulanga umbuzo waKhe, UJesu akazange awuphendule umbuzo wabo, kodwa esikhundleni salokho wabatshela umfanekiso wamadodana amabili (Mathewu 21:23-27).
Umfanekiso wamadodana amabili
Kodwa ucabangani? Umuntu othile wayenamadodana amabili; weza kweyokuqala, wathi, Umfana, hambani nisebenze namuhla esivinini sami. Waphendula wathi, Ngeke: kodwa ngasemuva waphenduka, wahamba. Wafika kowesibili, washo njalo. Wasephendula wathi, Ngiyahamba, mnumzane: futhi akayanga. Ubani kulaba ababili owenza intando kayise? Bathi kuye, Okokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo, Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Ukuthi abathelisi nezifebe bangene phambi kwenu embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba uJohane weza kini ngendlela yokulunga, anikholwanga nguye: kodwa abathelisi lezifebe bakholwa nguye: Nani, lapho selibonile, kaphendukanga emva kwalokho, ukuze nikholwe nguye (Mathewu 21:28-32)
UJesu wabatshela, ukuthi umuntu wayenamadodana amabili; wayala amadodana omabili ukuthi asebenze ngalolo suku esivinini sakhe. Indodana yokuqala yathi, ukuthi angayi, ngoba wayengafuni ukuhamba, kodwa ngemva kwalokho, indodana yazisola ngesenzo sayo yahamba. Indodana yesibili yathi, ukuthi uzohamba, kodwa akahambanga.
UJesu wababuza, iyiphi kumadodana amabili eyafeza isifiso sikayise futhi yenza intando kayise. Baphendula uJesu, ukuthi indodana yokuqala yenza intando kayise.
Khona-ke uJesu wathi, ukuthi abathelisi lezifebe bazangena phambi kwabo embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba uJohane weza kubo ngendlela yokulunga, abakholwa nguye, kepha abathelisi nezifebe bakholwa intshumayelo kaJohane (futhi walalela amazwi akhe futhi waphenduka futhi wabhapathizwa). Futhi nakuba babekubonile, abazange bazisole ngesenzo sabo kamuva, ukuze bakholwe nguye (futhi abhapathizwe).
Nakuba abapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe sikaNkulunkulu babemiswe esikhundleni sabapristi nababusi babantu bakaNkulunkulu futhi bema enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu futhi kwakufanele benze intando kaNkulunkulu., abazange benze intando kaNkulunkulu, futhi abazange babhapathizwe (Funda futhi: ‘Ikuphi ukufana phakathi kwabaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu bangaleso sikhathi namanje?‘ futhi ‘Uyini umehluko phakathi kukaJesu nabaholi benkolo?‘)
Futhi njengabo nje, KunamaKristu amaningi, abenze izithembiso kuNkulunkulu futhi bathembisa ukwenza intando yaKhe kodwa abangazigcini izithembiso zabo kuNkulunkulu futhi bangenzi intando yaKhe. Abagcini nje ngokwenza izithembiso kuNkulunkulu, abangazigcini, kodwa nakubantu.
Ziyini izithembiso zamaKristu kulezi zinsuku?
Mangaki amaKristu angena esivumelwaneni somshado futhi athembisa ukuhlala eqotho kwabashade nabo, kodwa ngesikhathi somshado, bakhohlwe amazwi abawashoyo nezithembiso abazenzile bashiye intando kaNkulunkulu baphule izithembiso zabo nesivumelwano somshado babe iziphingi..
Mangaki amaKristu anikezela izingane zawo kuNkulunkulu futhi athembise uNkulunkulu ukukhulisa izingane zawo ekwesabeni uJehova nangentando yakhe, kodwa ungasigcini isithembiso sabo? Bangaki abazali abathembisa ingane yabo(˙) zonke izinhlobo zezinto, kodwa ungagcini izithembiso zabo?
Mangaki amaKristu enza izithembiso kumqashi wawo futhi asayine isivumelwano, kodwa ungagcini izithembiso zabo futhi esikhundleni salokho uze nazo zonke izinhlobo zezaba?
Bangaki abantu abaphendukayo futhi babhapathizwe futhi bathembise ukulandela uJesu; iZwi nokuMlalela nokugcina imiyalo yaKhe, ngenkathi besaphila, bashiya indlela Yakhe nemiyalo Yakhe futhi abakwenzi lokho abathembise ukukwenza, kodwa bahamba ngendlela yabo futhi benza intando yabo. Ziyini izethembiso kulezi zinsuku?
KunamaKristu amaningi, abenza zonke izinhlobo zezithembiso kuNkulunkulu nakwabanye abantu, kodwa ekugcineni, abazigcini izithembiso zabo. Nakuba belindele kuNkulunkulu nakwabanye abantu ukuthi benze abakushoyo futhi bagcine izithembiso zabo futhi badumale futhi bathukuthele futhi izikhathi eziningi bahlale bethukuthele..
Ukuvuma iNkosi uJesu njengeNkosi, kodwa ungenzi lokho Akushoyo
Futhi kungani ungibiza, Nkosi, Nkosi, futhi ningakwenzi engikushoyo? (Luka 6:46)
AmaKristu amaningi athembisa ukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu, kuyilapho bembalwa, abalalela ngempela amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi benze intando kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zabo. Izikhathi eziningi izithembiso zenziwa enyameni; ngaphandle komzwelo, Umuzwa, noma isimo esithile somuntu.
Ngokwesibonelo, abantu bangaya esontweni futhi bathonywe umoya; ukukhanya kwe-ambience, umculo, ukubonakaliswa kwangaphandle, namagama anyakazayo, ukuthi imizwa nemizwa yabo ithatha izintambo futhi benza isithembiso esimweni sabo senyama, ngenkathi befika ekhaya bakhohlwa isethembiso abasenzayo futhi abasigcini isithembiso sabo.
Uma usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), ngemva kwalokho wenze ukukhetha ukudela ukuphila kwakho wenze intando kaNkulunkulu.
Uthembise ukulandela uJesu Kristu nokugcina imiyalo Yakhe ngakho-ke uyokwenza, lokho aniyale ngakho (Funda futhi: ‘Ukulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke‘).
UNkulunkulu uyale yonke indodana Yakhe ukuthi isebenze esivinini Sakhe, akukho ndodana ekhishiwe kule khomishini.
Kulotshiwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabazonda abaqamba amanga, nabaphuli besivumelwano(iziphingi). Ngakho-ke, amadodana kaNkulunkulu eqiniso, Obani abazelwe ngaye, abawona amanga nabephula isivumelwano, kodwa bayazigcina izithembiso zabo futhi bahlala bethembekile ezivumelwaneni zabo (Oh. Izaga 6:16; 12:22, UMalaki 2:16, 1 AbaseKorinte 6:9-10, IsAmbulo 21:8).
Kuyintando kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi amadodana akhe athembekile futhi akhuluma iqiniso futhi awaqambi amanga, ukuze bathembeke, njengaYe nje.
Kufanele bala izindleko ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo nangaphambi kokwenza isithembiso, ukuze bangenzi inhlekisa ngoJesu Kristu noMbuso waKhe futhi bahlazise uNkulunkulu.
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu enza intando kayise
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu ayoba, njengoBaba wabo, bagcine izithembiso zabo futhi bayokwenza lokho abakushoyo. Ababona abephuli besivumelwano, kodwa bahlala bethembekile ezithembisweni zabo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuzobabiza malini naphezu kwemiphumela.
Ngakho-ke, ube yindodana kaNkulunkulu elalelayo (njengoJesu), okungenzeka abafuni ukulandela amazwi kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo Yakhe ekuqaleni, kodwa ngenxa yokumthanda Yena, uzokwenza intando kaNkulunkulu futhi alandele imiyalo Yakhe, futhi ngokwenza lokho, bonisa uthando lwakho ngoJesu Kristu noBaba futhi umkhazimulise futhi umphakamise ngempilo yakho.
Ngoba akuphathelene nezethembiso ozenzile kuNkulunkulu, kodwa uma uyenzile intando yakhe.
