Lapho isono nokufa kungena ekuphileni komuntu, ngokudla emthini owenqatshelwe ensimini yase-Edene, futhi wenza ukuthi umuntu ahlukaniswe noNkulunkulu, UNkulunkulu wayesenalo kakade uhlelo oluhle lokuhlenga. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga wawuzobuyisela umuntu kuNkulunkulu futhi ubuyisele isikhundla somuntu owile. Konke kwaqala ngesihlahla kwagcina ngesihlahla; isiphambano.
Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga umuntu owile
Ngoba uNkulunkulu wathanda izwe, ukuthi wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuthi wonke okholwa kuye, akufanele ibhubhe, Kepha ube nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele indodana yakhe emhlabeni ukulahla umhlaba; Kepha ukuthi umhlaba ngaye ungasindiswa (UJohane 3:16,17)
UJesu wasebenza impilo Yakhe yonke; Wakhonza uYise nabantu, ngokulalela imiyalo kaBaba waKheum, ukwenza okuhle, futhi ukuphulukisa konke, ababecindezelwe ngusathane (IzEnzo 10:38).
UJesu wayemele uYise; Wayengumfanekiso kaBaba waKhe.
UJesu wathi, ukuthi uba umuntu ubembonile, wayembonile noBaba (UJohane 14:9). Futhi kuJohane 14:6-7, Uthe:
Mina ngiyindlela, iqiniso, kanye nempilo: akakho oza kuBaba, kodwa ngami. Ukube beningazi Mina, benifanele ukumazi noBaba waMi: kusukela manje niyamazi, futhi ngiMbonile.
UJesu ukuphela kweNdlela, akakho omunye! Asi, ngakho-ke bheka umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ophelele wokuhlenga, ngoJesu Kristu.
UJesu waya ensimini yaseGetsemane
Umsebenzi wokuhlenga waqala ngo insimu yaseGetsemane, lapho uJesu’ umphefumulo wawubuhlungu. UJesu wakhuleka kuBaba wathi: “Uyihlo, uma uvuma, susa le ndebe kimi: Noma kunjalo hhayi intando yami, kodwa kwakho, weqe”.
UJesu wayazi ukuthi sase sifikile isikhathi sokuthi anikelwe ezandleni zezoni, futhi bafele zonke izoni.
Emkhulekweni wakhe, ingelosi yabonakala kuye ivela ezulwini, ukuze amqinise. Esosizini olunzima wakhuleka ngobuqotho: izithukuthuku zakhe zaba njengamathonsi egazi awela emhlabathini (Luka 22:42-44).
UJesu wakunqoba lokhu kwesaba okubulalayo okungaphakathi KUYE. Wayefanele alwe nomphefumulo waKhe. UJesu wawunqoba umphefumulo Wakhe (Funda futhi: ‘Ukubethelwa komphefumulo‘).
Manje uJesu wayesekulungele ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi kaYise, futhi uye esigxotsheni kanye nesiphambano.
UJesu waya esigxotsheni sokushaywa
Emva komkhuleko Wakhe, nalapho uJesu ebuyela kubafundi bakhe, Wakhashelwa ngomunye wabafundi Bakhe, futhi wathunjwa. Ngemva kokuphenywa kaningi, Wabhaxabulwa. Lapho uJesu eshaywa esigxotsheni sokushaywa, Wathwala ukugula nezifo zethu.
Impela uzenzele usizi lwethu, futhi wathwala usizi lwethu: Noma kunjalo samhlonipha yena, kushaywe uNkulunkulu, futhi bahlupheka. Kodwa walinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, Yachotshozwa ngobubi bethu: isijeziso sokuthula kwethu sasiphezu kwakhe; nangemivimbo yaKhe siphilisiwe (Isaya 53:4,5)
Obani abazifaka ezonweni zethu emzimbeni wakhe esihlahleni, ukuthi thina, Ukufa Kwezono, kufanele aphile ngokulunga:Waphiliswa ngemivimbo kabani (1 UPetru 2:24)
Umqhele wameva
Umqhele wameva, ukuthi amasosha amembathisa uJesu’ ikhanda lingaba uphawu lokucindezelwa komuntu, kodwa lokho kuyincazelo yami. Ngoba eTestamenteni Elidala lapho bekhuluma ngameva, babhekise kubantu:
Kodwa uba lingabaxotshi abakhileyo elizweni phambi kwenu; khona kuyakwenzeka, ukuze lokho enibayekayo kuyakuba yizihlaba emehlweni enu nameva ezinhlangothini zenu, + futhi ngokuqinisekile iyonihlupha ezweni enihlala kulo (Isintu 33:55)
Yazini nokwazi ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akasayikuxosha nesisodwa salezi zizwe phambi kwenu; kepha uJehova uyakuba-yizihibe nezihibe kini, neziswebhu ezinhlangothini zenu, nameva emehlweni akho, nize nibhubhe kuleli zwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninike lona (UJoshuwa 23:13)
Kepha amadodana kaBheliyali ayakuba njengameva alahlwayo, ngoba azinakubanjwa ngezandla (2 Samuweli 23:6)
Ukubethelwa kukaJesu Kristu
Kwabe sekufika umzuzu, ukuthi uJesu wakhethwa ngabantu, esikhundleni sikaBarabasi (umbulali), ukubethelwa. Udeveli wayecabanga ukuthi uhlakaniphile, wacabanga lokho ngokubethela uJesu esiphambanweni, wayekhipha uJesu, futhi wayengaqhubeka nokwakha umbuso wakhe kulo mhlaba. Ngamanye amazwi, wacabanga: ukuhleka okuhle! (Funda futhi: ‘UJesu noma uBarabas, ukhetha bani?‘)
Kodwa udeveli wayenephutha. Ngoba konke lokhu kwakuyingxenye yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga. UJesu wathatha zonke izono, womhlaba, phezu kwakhe. uJesu, Owayengenasono, wenziwa isono futhi wanikelwa, ukuze umuntu abuyisane noNkulunkulu, Kanye nakho konke. Kusukela ngehora lesithupha kuze kube yihora lesishiyagalolunye, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu kwezwe lonke.
Kwathi ngehora lesishiyagalolunye uJesu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, ethi: “Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabachthani?”
Lamagama asho: “Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungilahlileleni?”
UJesu wayehlala ekanye noYise; babeMunye. UJesu akazange ahlukaniswe Naye, kuze kufike isono phezu kwakhe.
UNkulunkulu ungcwele futhi akasoze abe nenhlanganyelo nesono, ngakho-ke uJesu wehlukaniswa noYise. UJesu wakhala ngezwi elikhulu, wasephela umoya.
Lapho uJesu efa, Iveli lethempeli lalibizwa ngamabili ukusuka phezulu kuya phansi (Maka 15:33-39).
Obani abazifaka ezonweni zethu emzimbeni wakhe esihlahleni, ukuthi thina, Ukufa Kwezono, kufanele aphile ngokulunga: omivimbo yakhe naphulukiswa ngayo (1 UPetru 2:24)
UJesu wathatha isijeziso sethu phezu Kwakhe
Bekufanele sijeziswe, ngoba siyizoni hhayi uJesu. Bekufanele sibhaxabulwe esihogweni. Kodwa ngenxa uthando olukhulu nomusa kaNkulunkulu, UJesu wasithatha isijeziso, okwakuhloselwe thina, phezu kwaKhe.
Ngegazi likaJesu nokuzalwa kabusha kuye, sibuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi siphila ebunyeni noNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu. Ngokusebenzisa ubhapathizo ngamanzi noMoya oNgcwele, sibethele isimo sethu sesono futhi samukela isimo sikaNkulunkulu ngaphakathi kwethu.
Lapho wemukela isimo Sakhe ngaphakathi kuwe, inqubo yokungcwelisa izoqala. Uzokwenza vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Futhi esikhundleni sokuhamba ngokulandela inyama (emva kwemizwa yakho, ingqondo, imicabango, imizwa, imizwelo, intando, njll.), niyohamba ngokukaMoya ngokweZwi entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
UMoya oNgcwele unguMduduzi wakho noMfundisi wakho. Kanye naye, uzokwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu, UJesu Kristu, namadoda. NjengoJesu.
UJesu wathatha izihluthulelo zesihogo nokufa
Ngemva kokufa kukaJesu, Wangena ngokomthetho eHayidese. UJesu wangena eHayidese, ngoba uJesu wenziwa isono; Wayethathe zonke izono nobubi phezu Kwakhe. UJesu wayeseHayidesi izinsuku ezintathu eshumayela. Ngemva kwezinsuku ezintathu, UJesu wathatha izihluthulelo kasathane, ukufa, kanye neHayidese ngokusemthethweni emuva.
Ngoba njengoba uJona wayesekhona izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu esiswini somkhomo; Indodana yomuntu iyakuba izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu enhliziyweni yomhlaba (Mathewu 12:40)
Ngenxa yalokho ivangeli lashunyayelwa nakwabafileyo, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni, kodwa phila ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni (1 UPetru 4:6)
Yimi lowo ophilayo, futhi wayefile; futhi, bheka, Ngiyaphila kuze kube phakade, Amen; futhi ube nezinkinobho zesihogo nezokufa (IsAmbulo 1:18)
UJesu wakunqoba ukufa nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, Wavuswa kwabafileyo. UMoya ofanayo, Owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo, uhlala kithi (AmaRoma 8:11).
UJesu uyaphila futhi uhlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. Uyaphila, futhi singahlala kuye. UJesu wasinika lonke ifa lakhe, ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga.
Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlenga wawungumsebenzi wokuphelelisa!
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
