UJesu uyiNhloko yomzimba waKhe; ibandla (umhlangano wamakholwa). EBhayibhelini kuMathewu 16, UJesu wanika abafundi bakhe isithembiso kanye nepulani yebandla Lakhe. UJesu wakwenza kwacaca, Ibandla Lakhe laliyokwakhiwa phezu kwasiphi isisekelo nokuthi ibandla Lakhe laliyoba negunya elinjani emhlabeni. Ngakho, Ibandla lakhiwe phezu kwasiphi isisekelo? Kulokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi, sizobheka ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini ngesisekelo sebandla, nakumaposi ebhulogi alandelayo, ‘amasango esihogo’, ‘izihluthulelo zoMbuso weZulu', kanye 'ukubopha nokukhulula' kuzoxoxwa ngakho.
Isisekelo sebandla
UJesu wathi kubo, Kepha nithi ngingubani? USimoni Petru waphendula wathi, UnguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye, Ubusisiwe wena, USimon Barjona: ngoba inyama negazi akukuvezi kuwe., kodwa uBaba osezulwini. Futhi ngithi nakuwe, Ukuthi wena unguPeter, phezu kwaleli dwala ngiyakulakha ibandla lami; amasango esihogo ngeke anqobe lokho. Ngizokunika okhiye bombuso wezulu: Futhi konke okufanele ukukubopha emhlabeni kuyoboshwa ezulwini: Futhi noma yini oyoyikhulula emhlabeni iyakhululwa ezulwini (Mathewu 16:15-19)
Lapho uJesu ebuza abafundi bakhe, ababecabanga ukuthi unguye? USimoni Petru wamphendula wathi: “UnguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo!”
UJesu wathi kuPeter (indodana kaJona), ukuthi ubusisiwe ngoba inyama negazi kwakungambuleli lokho kuye, Kepha uyise, Ngubani osezulwini. Ngoba uJesu wathi kuMathewu 11:25: ngiyakubonga, O Baba, Nkosi yezulu nomhlaba, ngoba uzifihlile lezizinto kwabahlakaniphileyo labaqedisisayo, futhi uzembulele izingane.
“Kuleli dwala, Ngizolakha ibandla Lami”
NjengoPetru wafakaza ngokuthi uJesu wayengubani, UJesu wafakaza ukuthi uPetru wayengubani nokuthi wayezolakha ibandla lakhe phezu kwaleli dwala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uJesu wayezolakha ibandla Lakhe phezu kobufakazi bukaPetru: ukuthi uJesu unguKristu; iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
UJesu wayengeke akhe ibandla Lakhe phezu kokuhlakanipha nolwazi lomuntu ofundile; abaFarisi nabaSadusi. Akalakhanga ibandla laKhe phezu kwabapristi nompristi omkhulu. Kodwa uJesu wayezolakha ibandla Lakhe phezu kobufakazi bomdobi.
UJesu wathembisa uPetru; umdobi, ukuthi Wayezolakha ibandla laKhe phezu kobufakazi bakhe.
Lesi sithembiso, uJesu alinika uPetru, kwagcwaliseka ngosuku lwePhentekoste. Ngosuku lwePhentekoste abaqotho 120 abafundi nabalandeli bakaJesu Kristu, babhapathizwa, bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Futhi kungazelelwe kwavela umsindo ovela ezulwini njengomoya onamandla, Futhi yagcwalisa yonke indlu ababehlala kuyo. Kwabonakala kubo izilimi ezinjengobavukile zinjengomlilo, Futhi yahlala phezu kwayo ngamunye wabo. Base begcwala bonke uMoya oNgcwele, baqala ukukhuluma ngezinye izilimi, Njengoba umoya ubanikeza inkulumo (IzEnzo 2:2-4)
Ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kwafika ngesikhathi esifanele. Ngoba ngaleso sikhathi amadoda amaningi angamaJuda avela kuwo wonke amazwe ayebuthene eJerusalema ukuze agubhe iShavuot. La madoda azinikele ezwa abafundi bekhuluma ngezilimi zabo, ngezimangaliso zikaNkulunkulu. Bamangala, kodwa futhi ngokungabaza, ngoba babengazi ukuthi bacabangeni ngakho. Abanye baze bahlekisa ngokuziphatha kwabafundi, ngokuthi babephuze kakhulu iwayini.
Ubufakazi bukaPetru kumaJuda
Kodwa-ke kwenzeka, ukuthi isithembiso sikaJesu sasigcwaliseka. UPetru, owayelenhloni ngoJesu ngaphambili, waMphika 3 izikhathi lapho eyindalo endala, waba a indalo entsha ngobhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele futhi lokho kwabonakala ngokushesha.
uPetru wasukuma nabayishumi nanye, waphakamisa izwi lakhe, futhi wafakaza obala, ngesibindi nangegunya ngoJesu Kristu; iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
UPetru wafakaza ngokugcwaliseka kwesithembiso, uNkulunkulu awunika umprofethi uJoweli. UPhetro wafakaza ngoJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. Wafakaza ngoJesu’ hamba, ukumelana, ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nokuthi uJesu wayephakanyiswe kanjani ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, esemukele kuBaba, isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, Wayesechithekile, njengoba bebona futhi bezwa.
UPetru wakhuluma namadoda angamaJuda, mayelana nendlela uNkulunkulu amenze ngayo uJesu ofanayo, Ababembethele esiphambanweni, kokubili iNkosi noKristu.
Ngobufakazi bukaPetru nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, bahlatshwa ezinhliziyweni zabo. Babuza uPetro labanye abafundi, okwakumele bakwenze. UPetro wabaphendula: “Phenduka futhi ube abhapathizwe Wonke umuntu kini e Igama likaJesu Kristu Ukuxolelwa izono, futhi niyakwamukeliswa isiphiwo sikaMoya oNgcwele” (IzEnzo 2: 37-38)
Ubufakazi bukaPetru kwabezizwe
UPetru naye waba umphostoli wokuqala, owathola isambulo sikaNkulunkulu, ukuthi ukusindiswa kwakuhloselwe nakwabezizwe; labo ababengebona abenyama kubantu bamaJuda. Ngalesi sambulo sikaNkulunkulu nangokulalela uMoya oNgcwele, UPetru wayalwa ukuba ahambe, endlini kaKorneliyu. Manje, UKorneliyu wayengowezizwe futhi engeyena umJuda.
Ngenkathi uPetru efakaza ngoJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo. Baqala ukukhuluma ngezilimi futhi bakhazimulisa uNkulunkulu. Ngenkathi uPetru ebona ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabeZizwe, akasibonanga isizathu sokuba angababhapathizi emanzini. Ngakho-ke wababhaphathiza eGameni likaJesu Kristu (IzEnzo 11). Ngalolo suku, UNkulunkulu wanika abezizwe ukuphendukela ekuphileni.
UPetru wayengumphostoli wokuqala, owafakaza nge isivumelwano esisha kuJesu Kristu futhi wavula umnyango wokushunyayelwa kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu. Wayengowokuqala, owafakaza kumaJuda kamuva kwabezizwe.
Lobu kwakungubufakazi, futhi lobu kusewubufakazi uJesu Kristu akha kubo ibandla Lakhe. UJesu Kristu uyitshe Legumbi lebandla Lakhe, futhi inqobo nje uma sihlala singofakazi Bakhe futhi sihlala sithembekile Kuye nasemazwini Akhe, Uyohlala eyitshe Legumbi lebandla laKhe.
Manje-ke anisekho abangabazi nabafokazi, Kepha esivumelana nabangcwele, kanye nendlu kaNkulunkulu; Futhi bakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo sabaphostoli nabaprofethi, UJesu Kristu uqobo lwasetshe eliyinduna; Ngubani onke isakhiwo esakhiwe kahle ndawonye likhula njengethempeli elingcwele eNkosini: Oyena owakhiwa ndawonye ukuba kube yindawo yokuhlala ngoMoya (Kwabase-Efesu 2:19-22)
Ubufakazi bukaJesu Kristu
Ibandla lakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo sobufakazi, ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. Kuphela kulobu bufakazi, uJesu uzolakha ibandla laKhe. UJesu usalakha ibandla Lakhe phezu kwalobu bufakazi, okusho ukuthi akalakhi ibandla Lakhe phezu kwemfundiso yenkolo nokuhlakanipha nolwazi lomuntu (ulwazi lwezinto zemvelo). Isonto; Umhlangano Wabakholwayo, angaba nolwazi oluningi ngekhanda lweBhayibheli, kodwa nibe nokungazi ngokomoya nokufa.
UMbuso kaNkulunkulu uwuMbuso kamoya futhi awukwazi ukubonakala ngeso lenyama. Awuyeke lokho Indoda endala yenyama, oholwa yizinzwa zakhe, imizwelo, imizwa, imicabango, ubuhlakani, njll. angashumayela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi alethe uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba. Abafundi bezenkolo nabaholi bebandla bangaba nokukhulu (-ngesu lokwazi) ulwazi lweBhayibheli futhi angase akhulume amazwi amangalisayo akhangayo, kodwa phezu kwalesisisekelo, ngeke ukwazi ukwakha isonto, ophilayo ngokomoya futhi onqobayo.
UJesu Kristu kuphela onguMakhi webandla Lakhe futhi usebenzisa abantu, abakholwa kuye, futhi uzilungiselele babeke impilo yabo futhi nsuku zonke bathathe isiphambano sabo futhi landela uJesu. Usebenzisa abantu, abagcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele futhi abamele uJesu; Izwi ezimpilweni zabo futhi babe ngofakazi Bakhe kuze kube sekupheleni.
