Esinye sesithelo sikaMoya yisithelo sothando. Kodwa lithini iBhayibheli ngesithelo sothando? Ngoba kulezi zinsuku amaKristu amaningi anikeza enye incazelo yegama elithi uthando kuneBhayibheli (IZwi LikaNkulunkulu) kwenza. Uhamba nini othandweni futhi uthela izithelo zothando empilweni yakho?
Lithini IBhayibheli Ngesithelo Sothando Empilweni KaJesu
Kokuthunyelwe kwebhulogi okwedlule, i Uthando lukaNkulunkulu kwaxoxwa ngakho. Indlela uthando lukaNkulunkulu oluphambene ngayo nothando lwezwe. Kulokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi, sizobheka impilo kaJesu nokuthi uJesu wahamba kanjani othandweni futhi wathela izithelo zothando empilweni yakhe.
UJesu uyigama eliphilayo, Owaba yinyama ukuze agcwalise umsebenzi omkhulu wokuhlenga isintu. UJesu wazalwa ngeNzalo kaNkulunkulu hhayi enzalweni yomuntu.
Nakuba Wayenemvelo kaNkulunkulu, UJesu wayenamandla okwenza isono. Kungenjalo, uMoya oNgcwele wayengeke amholele uJesu ehlane ukuba elingwa ngusathane.
Kodwa uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwachitheka enhliziyweni Yakhe. UJesu wayethanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke. Ngakho-ke uJesu uchitha isikhathi emthandazweni futhi ezwa amazwi kaYise ethempelini.
Wayeyazi intando kaBaba Wakhe. Futhi ngoba uJesu wayemthanda uYise, Walalela amazwi Akhe futhi wagcina imiyalelo Yakhe futhi wenza intando Yakhe.
Ngoba wahamba ngokulalela intando kaBaba, UJesu wahamba ngaphandle kwesono nobubi.
UJesu akazange abhubhise Umthetho kaMose lamazwi omprofethi. Ngoba wayazi ukuthi zivela kuYise. Kodwa uJesu wagcwalisa uMthetho ngokuhamba entandweni kaYise nangokwenza imiyalo yaKhe.
Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho, kumbe abaprofethi:angizanga ukuchitha;, kodwa ukugcwalisa (Mathewu 5:17)
UJesu Wahamba Ngokulalela UNkulunkulu Ngothando
UJesu walalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi wagcina imiyalo Yakhe, lapho Ahamba khona othandweni futhi waveza isithelo sothando empilweni Yakhe. Ukube uJesu wonile, okusho ukuthi wayezohlubuka futhi angalaleli amazwi nentando kaNkulunkulu, Ubengeke ahambe othandweni. Wayengeke alalele umyalo kaNkulunkulu wokuqala othi, ukuthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, wonke umphefumulo wakho, kanye nawo wonke ingqondo namandla akho.
Ukuhamba ezonweni nasebubini kusho: ukuhamba endleleni yokungalungi (indlela yomhlaba). Nokwenza lezo zinto eziphikisana namazwi nemiyalo kaNkulunkulu, ezimele Intando yakhe.
Ngokwesibonelo: lapho uNkulunkulu ethi, Thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena futhi uthethelele, kodwa awufuni ukuthethelela futhi uhambe ngenzondo nokungathetheleli, khona-ke uyona. (Funda futhi: Iyini imfihlo yokuthethelela?)
UJesu akazange ahambe othandweni lwenyama. Uthando olwamukela konke ukuziphatha, kuhlanganise nezono nobubi, ukuze sihlale ngokuthula labanye, ukuthandwa noma ukuthola abalandeli abaningi. Cha, UJesu wahamba othandweni lukaNkulunkulu kuYise kuqala. Uthando oluthobela uNkulunkulu futhi lukhonze Yena futhi lenze intando Yakhe futhi luphike intando, Izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama.
Uthando uJesu ahamba kulo, ayizange ilethe ukuthula futhi yahlanganisa abantu. Kodwa uthando Lwakhe lwabangela ukuhlukana phakathi kwabantu futhi lwavusa ukulwa.
UJesu Akezanga Ukuzoletha Ukuthula Kodwa Ukwehlukana
Ake sithi ngizele ukuthula emhlabeni? ngiyakutshela, Cha; kodwa kunalokho ukwahlukana: Ngoba kusukela manje kuzakuba nesihlanu endlini eyodwa ehlukaniswe, ezintathu ziphikisana ezimbili, kanti amabili aphikisana nabathathu. UBaba uyakuhlukaniswa ngendodana, indodana ngokumelene nobaba; Umama ngokumelene nendodakazi, nendodakazi ngokumelene nonina; uninazala emelene lomalokazana wakhe, nomalokazana amelane noninazala (Luka 12:51-53)
UJesu akezanga ukuzoletha ukuthula, noma ukuletha ubunye nokuvumelana nomhlaba (ubumnyama). Kodwa umsebenzi kaJesu kwakuwukushumayela nokuletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu endlini ka-Israyeli futhi aveze obala (isebenza) lobumnyama futhi akhulule abathunjwa.
uJesu’ Umsebenzi wawuwukuthatha igunya kudeveli, khulula umuntu ekucindezelweni kukadeveli, futhi ubuyisele (philisa) umuntu esikhundleni sakhe futhi abuyisane nomuntu abuyele kuNkulunkulu.
UJesu wayengathandwa ababi, owayengowezwe nombusi waleli zwe (usathane).
Cha, ababi bamzonda uJesu. Ngobani? Ngoba uJesu wadalula imisebenzi yabo emibi futhi wafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yabo yayimibi.
Ngakho-ke, abakwazanga ukumelana noJesu futhi bafuna ukuMqeda. Inzondo yabo ngoJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wamholela esiphambanweni.
UJesu wathi, ukuthi uma umuntu ephenduka futhi ephendukela Kuye futhi abe isidalwa esisha, i izwe laliyozonda futhi lishushise bona.
UJesu wathi, ukuthi inceku kayiphezu kweNkosi yayo. Uma bengishushisile, bayakunizingela.
Kodwa naphezu kwenzondo, ukuphikiswa nokushushiswa kwezwe, UJesu uyamthanda uYise futhi wahlala ethembekile kuye kwaze kwaba sekufeni.
UJesu Wahamba Ngokulalela UYise Futhi Wathela Isithelo Sothando Empilweni Yakhe
UJesu wasibonisa, kanjani ukuhamba njengoba indalo entsha; ezelwe nguMoya oNgcwele. Wabeka isibonelo futhi wasibonisa indlela yokuhamba othandweni lukaNkulunkulu futhi sithele izithelo zothando.
UJesu wathela isithelo sothando empilweni Yakhe, okwakubonakala ngothando lwakhe ngoYise. Uthando Lwakhe ngoBaba Wakhe lwaboniswa ngokulalela Kwakhe intando kaBaba.
UJesu wadela konke ngenxa kaYise. Wadela ukuphila Kwakhe konke ukuze amkhonze, ukumlalela, nokuthokozisa uYise kukho konke.
Kusho ukuthini Isithelo uthando ngokweBhayibheli?
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, hlalani othandweni lwami; njengoba nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba, futhi nihlale othandweni lwakhe (UJohane 15:10)
Ngalokhu siyazi ukuthi siyamazi, uba sigcina imilayo yakhe. Lowo osho, Ngiyamazi, futhi akagcini imiyalo yakhe, ungumqambimanga, Futhi iqiniso alikho kuye. Kepha ogcina izwi lakhe, Uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelele khona:ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sikuye. Lowo othi uhlala kuye umelwe ukuhamba kanjalo naye, ngisho ehamba (1 UJohane 2:3-6)
Ukuhamba othandweni lukaNkulunkulu nokuthela izithelo zothando, iqala ngothando lwakho ngoJesu noBaba nokulalela uMoya oNgcwele. Uma uthanda uJesu, nilalela amazwi Akhe futhi nenze okumthokozisayo.
Uma umthanda uJesu, ulalela imiyalo Yakhe esikhundleni sokuhamba ngokuhlubuka emazwini nemiyalo Yakhe esonweni.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu luthanda ukulunga futhi luyazonda okubi (isono). Ngakho-ke uma uthela izithelo uthando, awusesona kodwa wenza lokho uJesu akuyala ukuba ukwenze.
Uma uhamba othandweni futhi uthela izithelo zothando ugcina imiyalo Yakhe futhi ugcwalise uMthetho. Ngoba uMthetho wembula isimo sikaNkulunkulu nentando yakhe nalokho okujabulisa uNkulunkulu nalokho okungamjabulisayo.
Imiyalo nezixwayiso ezilotshwe emthethweni, kwavela othandweni olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu Ngakhe (okwenyama) abantu (indlu ka-Israyeli).
Abantu bakhe babengabenyama hhayi ngokomoya. Babengakwazi ukubona nokuqonda indawo yomoya noMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wabanika imithetho yenyama, eyaphuma emithethweni kamoya yoMbuso Wakhe futhi yayihloselwe inyama, ukugcina inyama ithotshisiwe entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
UMthetho kaMose wanikezwa ngothando ngabantu baKhe, ukuze abagcine futhi abakhulule ebubini.
Isidalwa Esisha Sihamba Othandweni Futhi Sigcwalisa Umthetho KaNkulunkulu
UJesu wayekwazi lokhu. Kungakho uJesu wathi, ukuthi Akezanga ukuzochitha umthetho, kodwa ukugcwalisa umlayo. Ukube uJesu wayesho, ukuthi Weza ukuzochitha umthetho, khona-ke uNkulunkulu ubengeke afane izolo, namuhla naphakade. Kodwa uNkulunkulu nguyena izolo, namuhla naphakade.
Ukube uJesu wayesho, ukuthi Weza ukuzochitha umthetho, ngabe Uziphendulele kuNkulunkulu. UMoya kaNkulunkulu ofanayo, Owanika uMose umthetho, wahlala kuJesu. (Funda futhi: Kwenzenjani 50 ezinsukwini emva kwePhasika?).
UMoya oNgcwele wabusa empilweni kaJesu. Ngenxa yalokho uJesu wahamba ngemiyalo kaYise.
Wagcina yonke imiyalo kaYise. Ngokugcina imiyalo kaYise, UJesu wahamba othandweni futhi wathela izithelo zothando empilweni Yakhe.
Uma uzalwa ngokusha kuKristu, Uthole uMoya oNgcwele. Njengoba nje uJesu emukela uMoya oNgcwele. Ngokwamukela uMoya oNgcwele, imithetho kaNkulunkulu emele intando Yakhe kulotshiwe enhliziyweni yakho.
Uma uMoya oNgcwele ebusa ezimpilweni zenu, uyakugcina imiyalo yakhe, uhambe ngokwentando yakhe. Ngokugcina imiyalo Yakhe kanye nokuhamba entandweni Yakhe, uzawugcwalisa umlayo (ingxenye yomthetho kaMose).
Ngokukholwa uyakuqinisa umthetho. Hhayi ngoba, unephepha elinemithetho ebhaliwe, ekutshela ukuthi wenzeni futhi ungakwenzi. Kodwa uzawugcwalisa umthetho, ngoba uthole imvelo entsha; Imvelo kaNkulunkulu
Ngizofaka umthetho wami ezingxenyeni zabo zangaphakathi, bese uyibhala ezinhliziyweni zabo; futhi ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, babe ngabantu bami (Jeremiya 31:33)
Wenzani, Lapho Uthanda Umuntu?
Lapho umthanda ngempela umuntu, ufuna ukujabulisa lowo muntu. Ubungeke wenze into ezomdabukisa noma imzwise ubuhlungu lowo muntu, noma wenze into angayithandi lo muntu. Lapho umthanda ngempela uJesu, ubungeke wenze into ezoMdabukisa. Kodwa uyakwenza lezo zinto, okujabulisa yena. Futhi okumthokozisayo ukugcina imiyalo Yakhe futhi uhambe entandweni Yakhe ngokulunga. Ukuze uJesu noYise bayophakanyiswa.
Uma uJesu eze ukuzonikela ngokuphila Kwakhe futhi yenza ukubuyisana ngenxa yezono nobubi kubo bonke abantu, ucabanga ukuthi uJesu angakuvumela ukuthi uqhubeke uhamba esonweni?
Lapho uqhubeka uhamba esonweni, ukwenza lezo zinto eziphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu, khona-ke awumthandi uJesu, kodwa uthanda isono. Kuyakhombisa, ukuthi uzithanda wena kanye nentando, Izifiso nezifiso zenyama yakho. Awukhonzi uKristu ngokulunga, kodwa wena khonza usathane ngesono.
Isihlahla Asikwazi Ukuthela Isithelo Uthando Nokulunga Nesithelo Senzondo Nesono
Izikhathi eziningi abantu, abazibiza ngamaKristu bathi, Kodwa uJesu wayehlezi esidla kanye lezoni. Yebo, lokho kuyiqiniso ngokwengxenye. Ngoba uma uqhubeka ufunda uthola isizathu sangempela sokuthi kungani UJesu wadla nezoni nezifebe.
Udeveli uyenga abantu ngezingxenye zemiBhalo. Abantu abangalazi iZwi likaNkulunkulu kuyo yonke ingqikithi, bayengwe kalula usathane.
Abantu, abalalela udeveli bathatha izingxenye zomBhalo futhi bazisebenzisele inzuzo yabo, ukugcwalisa izinhlu nezinkanuko zenyama yabo.
Uma uqhubeka ufunda, uzolithola iqiniso.
Okokuqala nje, izoni kwakungamaJuda, owaphambuka emthethweni kaMose, hhayi abeZizwe.
Okwesibili, UJesu akazange ahlale phansi futhi adle nezoni ukuze ahlanganyele nezono zazo futhi amukele izono zazo. Cha! UJesu waletha izoni, abamamukelayo, ukuphenduka!
Futhi kwenzeka, njengoba uJesu ehlezi ekudleni endlini, bheka, kwafika abathelisi abaningi nezoni, bahlala naye nabafundi bakhe. Kwathi abaFarisi bekubona, Basebesithi kubafundi bakhe, Kungani edla uMfundisi wenu nabathelisi nezoni? Kodwa lapho uJesu ekuzwa lokho, wathi kubo, Abaphilile abamdingi udokotela, Kepha abagulayo. Kodwa hambani nifunde ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokho, ngizoba nomusa, futhi hhayi umhlatshelo:ngoba kangizanga ukubiza abalungileyo, Kepha izoni ziphenduke (Mathewu 9:10-13)
Abalungile abadingi ukuphenduka, kodwa izoni ziyakwenza.
AmaKristu kufanele alandele isibonelo sikaJesu. Esikhundleni sokuhlanganyela nezoni (abangamazi uNkulunkulu futhi abaphila ngokungakholwa, ukuhlubuka nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu) nokuphila njengabo, kufanele baphile ngokungcwele nangokulunga futhi babize izoni ekuphendukeni.
Ingabe IBandla Linayo Incazelo Engalungile Yesithelo Sothando?
Ingabe ibandla linencazelo engalungile yesithelo sothando? Ngoba uthando alusho ukwamukela ububi nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu; izono nobubi. Akusho ukuthi amaKristu kufanele alethe izoni ebandleni futhi azamukele ‘ngothando’ futhi bamukele futhi bavumele izenzo zabo (okuphikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu) futhi bavumele futhi babenze bakholwe ukuthi baphila kahle.
Lapho amaKristu eshiya izoni ezonweni zabo (ethaka) chaza futhi uvumele izono zabo, khona-ke abahambi othandweni lukaNkulunkulu futhi abatheli izithelo zothando.
AmaKristu kufanele abizele abantu ekuphendukeni. Ukuze baphenduke bakhululwe emandleni kasathane esonweni futhi basindiswe futhi babuyisane noNkulunkulu ngegazi likaJesu.
Kufanele bahambe njengoJesu futhi babhekane nezoni ngesimo sabo sesono nezono zabo esikhundleni sokuvumela izono zabo.
Lapho uMoya oNgcwele edalula izono zabo futhi ufakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yabo mibi, izoni zinenketho, ukubaleka noma ukuphenduka ezonweni zabo futhi baphendukele kuKristu futhi bazalwe kabusha.
Uthando aluchazi ukwamukela izono nokungalungi kanye nokuguqula intando kaNkulunkulu, ukuze abantu bakwazi ukuqhubeka nokwanelisa futhi bekhonza inyama yabo.
Lapho uhamba esonweni esikhundleni sokulunga, uzakuba yinceku yesono, ungabi yinceku yeNkosi uJesu Kristu.
Uthando aluhambisani nesono kodwa uthando lubiza izoni ukuba ziphenduke
UJesu unikeza wonke umuntu amandla okwenza phenduka futhi aguqulwe. Lapho uphenduka, Uyakuhlanza kuzo zonke izono zakho nobubi bakho futhi akubuyisele (uyaphilisa) wena esikhundleni sakho sokuwa futhi ubuyisane noNkulunkulu. Okuwukuphela kwento okufanele ukwenze beka phansi ukuphila kwakho futhi ube Ukuzalwa kabusha kuKristu ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
Kukangaki uJesu ethi “Hamba ngemoto, futhi asisesona”. UJesu wahamba othandweni kodwa akazange avume isono. Wayengasoze avumela isono, ngoba isono sibi futhi sisho ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu. Kusho ukwenza lezo zinto, uBaba azizondayo futhi azilahlayo.
UJesu wayethanda (futhi usathanda) UBaba wakhe ngenhliziyo yonke, Akasoze enze okuthile noma amukele into engamjabulisi uBaba. UJesu wazithoba ngokuphelele kuYise futhi wayigcina yonke imiyalo Yakhe.
Isithelo sothando uthando lukaNkulunkulu olukhiqizwe enhliziyweni yalowo ozinikele ngoMoya oNgcwele, uthando oluphoqa umuntu ukuthi aziphike ngenxa yalowo amthandayo (1 AbaseKorinte 13:1-3 (Kwt)
Ingabe uzimisele ukuziphika, intando yakho, izinkanuko, izifiso, namaphupho futhi udele ukuphila kwakho ngenxa kaJesu? Kulapho-ke lapho uyokwazi khona ukuhamba othandweni futhi uthele izithelo zothando empilweni yakho
Isithelo Sothando Ezimpilweni ZamaKristu
Mhlawumbe ucabanga ukuthi uhamba othandweni, ngokuba nomusa njalo, eziwusizo kubantu, ukwenza imisebenzi yothando, ukwamukela zonke izinto nokuvumelana. Kodwa lezi zinto azifakazeli ukuthi uhamba emva kukaMoya futhi uthela isithelo sothando. Umhlaba nawo ungaba nomusa futhi ube usizo, futhi nenze imisebenzi yokupha, kodwa abatheli izithelo zothando lukaMoya, ngoba umoya wabo usafile.
Uhamba othandweni futhi uthela izithelo zothando uma uhamba ngokulandela uMoya ngokulalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi ugcine imiyalo kaJesu., okuyimiyalo futhi kaBaba, ekulungeni.
Isithelo sothando yisithelo sikaMoya hhayi senyama.
Lolu thando lukaNkulunkulu oluvela kuMoya luhlukile othandweni lwenyama (uthando ngokwezwe).
Uthando lwezwe luhambisana nobumnyama, ububi nesono futhi uvumele abantu bahambe esonweni (ekuhlubukeni nasekungamlalelini uNkulunkulu).
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu aluhlangani nobumnyama, ububi nesono, kodwa wehlukanisa lobumnyama, ububi nesono nibize labo, abaphila ebugqilini bukaSathane, isono, nokufa, ebumnyameni, ukuphenduka, ukuze bakhululwe futhi basindiswe.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu alufuni ukuthi noma ubani abhubhe futhi aye esihogweni.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwenza amaKristu ukuba azithobe kuJesu futhi abe ofakazi Bakhe emhlabeni futhi ashumayele ivangeli futhi asindise imiphefumulo eminingi ngokulahlwa..
Uthando Lwaphezulu
Lokhu kusho ukuthi akusekho ngawe; akukhona ngalokho okufunayo, noma ukuthi yini oyicabangayo noma oyizwayo, kodwa konke kumayelana Naye; lokho Akufunayo nalokho Akucabangayo.
Uthando lwaphezulu luyahlukanisa, othandweni lwezwe, kulokho, wenza intando kaNkulunkulu futhi uhambe entandweni Yakhe. Uyakufulathela izono nobubi, uzingcwelise ngokuqhubekayo ngegazi likaJesu nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele uze uguqulwe ube ngumfanekiso kaJesu Kristu..
Womthanda ngaphezu kwakho konke (kuhlanganise nawe), futhi ngoba uyamthanda Yena, futhi uhambe emiyalweni yakhe, uyakuthela izithelo zothando. Lapho uthela izithelo uthando uzokwazi, ukuthanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Uzobaphatha, indlela ofuna ukuphathwa ngayo.
‘Yibani Usawoti Womhlaba’
