Ukube ivangeli lisazophoqa, kungani amaKristu amaningi kangaka efuna iseluleko emhlabeni, izimpendulo, ulwazi nokuhlakanipha, kuhlanganise nezinkolo namafilosofi aseMpumalanga futhi bahileleke emikhubeni yokulumba? Esikhundleni sokugqugquzelwa nokuholwa yiZwi noMoya oNgcwele, amaKristu amaningi aphefumulelwe futhi aholwa ngamazwi abantu olwazi nokuhlakanipha, amaphupho, imiqondo, Ukubonakaliswa Kwaphezulu, kanye nezambulo, okuvela emimoyeni eyengayo evela embusweni wobumnyama. Le mimoya ekhohlisayo ingabasunguli bezimfundiso zamanga eziphikisana neBhayibheli futhi ezibangela ukuba abantu bahambe ezindleleni., akufanele bahambe. Ukube ivangeli lisazophoqa ngokwanele, kungani amaKristu amaningi echitha isikhathi esiningi esezweni nasezintweni zalomhlaba kunokuchitha noNkulunkulu nezinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu?? Futhi uma ivangeli lisazophoqa, kungani abantu beshintsha izinto eziningi kangaka evangelini futhi basebenzise ukuhlakanipha nolwazi lwezwe futhi bengeze zonke izinhlobo zezindlela zemvelo ebandleni ukwenza ivangeli likhange kakhulu kubantu?
Uma ivangeli lisaphoqa kungani umyalezo ushintshile?
Kungani umyalezo ushintshile uma ivangeli lisazophoqa ngokwanele? Uma uqhathanisa umlayezo oshunyayelwa ebandleni lanamuhla nasemigwaqweni, emyalezweni owashunyayelwa 2000 iminyaka edlule, khona-ke lona akuwona umyalezo ofanayo owashunyayelwa uJesu Kristu nabafundi Bakhe.
Asifundi ndawo ukuthi uJesu nabafundi Bakhe batshela abantu ezindaweni ezibazungezile kanye nabantu ababehlangana nabo emgwaqweni, “UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda!”, noma okwashiwo abaphostoli nabafundi bakaJesu Kristu esivumelwaneni esisha, “UJesu uyakuthanda”, base beqhubeka nendlela yabo baqhubeka nabakwenzayo babashiya abantu besezonweni zabo nasezigqilazweni zikasathane nombuso wobumnyama..
Abazange bashumayele amazwi aduduzayo ajabulisa inyama futhi athinte imizwelo nemizwa yabantu..
Kunalokho, bashumayela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, ukulunga, ukuphila, nesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu futhi wabizela abantu ekuphendukeni futhi wakhulula abantu – futhi wabaphilisa, abakholwa amazwi abo futhi baphenduka futhi banikela ukuphila kwabo kuNkulunkulu.
Abaprofethi kanye noJesu Kristu, ababehlala eSivumelwaneni Esidala, nabaphostoli nabafundi bakaJesu Kristu, ababehlala esivumelwaneni esisha, babelele ukuphila kwabo siqu ngenxa yothando ngoNkulunkulu futhi akunjalo enamahloni ngevangeli.
Umlayezo wabo awuzange uyithokozise imizwa nemizwelo yabantu. Umlayezo wabo wawungahambisani nesono futhi uvumela abantu ukuthi baqhubeke bona. Kodwa isigijimi sabo sasivame ukuba nzima futhi sibhekane nabo futhi sibizela abantu ekuphendukeni.
Kulezi zinsuku, isigijimi ababesishumayela, kungabhekwa njengokungenaluthando. Kodwa umehluko phakathi kwaleso sikhathi namanje unjalo, ukuthi babemthanda uNkulunkulu futhi bemesaba uJehova (okubhekiselwe kuNkulunkulu).
Kwenzekani lapho uthando lukaJehova nokwesaba uJehova kulawula ukuphila kwabantu?
Uthando ngoJehova nokumesaba uJehova kwakulawula ukuphila kwabo. Ngenxa yalokho, izimpilo zabo zanikelwa kuNkulunkulu futhi bahamba ngokuzithoba emazwini naseziyalweni Zakhe.
Baphila ngokwentando Yakhe futhi bashumayela amazwi Akhe; iqiniso loMbuso kaNkulunkulu, futhi wabiza abantu ukuthi baphenduke futhi balandele umthetho kaMose, umthetho wesono nokufa, esivumelwaneni esiDala (okwakuhloselwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu benyama), nalapho iSivumelwano Esisha kuKristu siqala ukusebenza, ukulandela umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu (okuhloselwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu abangokomoya).
Umhlaba wonke mawumesabe uJehova: bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni mabamesabe. Ngokuba Wakhuluma, kwase kwenziwa; Wayala, futhi yema yaqina (Amahubo 33:8-9)
Ukwesaba uJehova kungukuqala kolwazi: kodwa iziwula ziyadelela ukuhlakanipha nokulaywa (Izaga 1:7)
Ukwesaba uJehova ukuzonda okubi: ukuziqhenya, nokuzikhukhumeza, nendlela embi, nomlomo ophakeme, Ngabe ngiyakuzonda (Izaga 8:13)
UJesu akazange abavumele abantu ukuthi baqhubeke bona futhi akazange avume isono. Kanjalo nabaphostoli nabafundi bakaJesu Kristu, ababekanye iBandla; uMzimba kaKristu emhlabeni, vumela abantu baqhubeke bona.
Abazange basho, UNkulunkulu uthanda wonke umuntu futhi uJesu uyakuthanda, ngendlela oyiyo. Ngakho-ke, ungahlala unjalo. Asikufundi lokhu noma kuphi eBhayibhelini.
Asifundi ndawo ukuthi abantu bangahlala ngendlela ababeyiyo. Futhi asifunda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamukela isono futhi uNkulunkulu wayeqonda isimo sawo wonke umuntu, imizwa, izinqumo, izaba, nendlela yokuphila.
Cha, wonke umuntu kwakudingeka aphenduke futhi azalwe kabusha kuKristu futhi lalala ikhehla kanye nemvelo yayo enesono futhi gqoka umuntu omusha.
Ngokungafani namakholwa amaningi anamuhla, UJesu nabafundi Bakhe, ababezelwe ngokusha base beba ngumuntu omusha; amadodana kaNkulunkulu, babengebona abenyama kodwa ngokomoya. Abazange baphuphuthekiswe unkulunkulu walelizwe. Kunalokho, bakhanyiselwa nguNkulunkulu noMoya Wakhe oNgcwele futhi bahlukanisa imimoya.
Abazange bavunyelwe yinyama yabo, Kepha ngoMoya. Bahlukanisa umbuso kaNkulunkulu embusweni wobumnyama futhi bahlukanisa imimoya nemisebenzi yobumnyama nemisebenzi yombuso kaNkulunkulu.. Yebo, bahlukanisa inyama ngoMoya.
UPetru washumayela ivangeli likaKristu futhi wabizela indlu ka-Israyeli ekuphendukeni
Lapho uPetru egcwele uMoya oNgcwele futhi wamukela izilimi njengomlilo, UPetru washumayela ngoJesu Kristu futhi wabiza abantu bakaNkulunkulu, ababebuthene ndawonye eJerusalema ukuze bagubhe iShavuot; i umkhosi wamasonto, ukuphenduka
Laba bantu babengabendlu ka-Israyeli. Babeyinzalo nenzalo kaJakobe (Israyeli) futhi babengabantu besivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu benyama.
Kodwa naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi babengabendlu ka-Israyeli futhi belalela umthetho, ngoba babeze eJerusalema emkhosini wamaviki, UPetru wababizela ekuphendukeni.
UPetru akababizelanga ekuphendukeni kuphela kodwa nokuba babhapathizwe eGameni likaJesu Kristu kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono, njalo babezakwemukela uMoya oNgcwele.
Ukuphenduka, ubhapathizo nokwamukela uMoya oNgcwele kwaba izici ezintathu zokuzalwa okusha.
Nakuba amazwi kaPetru ayenzima futhi ebhekene, ayeyiqiniso futhi abaletha abantu ekuphendukeni nasensindisweni.
Futhi kanjalo abantu, owakholwa amazwi kaPetro, baphenduka ezonweni zabo futhi babhabhadiswa futhi bamukela uMoya oNgcwele futhi babuyisana noNkulunkulu (IzEnzo 2).
Kulesi sikhathi, ungazibuza ukuthi ngabe abantu, abathi bangamaKristu bese beya esontweni noma beshumayela esontweni bathi bazelwe ngokusha futhi banoMoya oNgcwele, bazalwa ngokusha ngempela?
Ingabe baphila njengesidalwa esisha njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu (kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane) ekulaleleni iZwi ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu noma baphila njengoba Indalo endala njengomhlaba futhi senza imisebenzi yenyama?
UPawulu washumayela ivangeli, okungamandla kaNkulunkulu
Njengabanye abafundi bakaJesu Kristu, UPawulu naye wayengenawo amahloni ngevangeli likaKristu. Njengoba ivangeli lingamandla kaNkulunkulu, kube yinsindiso kubo bonke abakholwayo.
Ngokuba anginamahloni ngevangeli likaKristu: ngoba lingamandla kaNkulunkulu, kube yinsindiso kubo bonke abakholwayo; kumJuda kuqala, nakumGreki. Ngokuba ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kwembulwa ngakho kusukela ekukholweni kuye ekukholweni: njengokulotshiweyo, Olungileyo uyakuphila ngokukholwa. Ngokuba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwambulwa luvela ezulwini phezu kwakho konke ukungamesabi uNkulunkulu nokungalungi kwabantu, abaphatha iqiniso ngokungalungi; Ngoba lokho okwaziwayo ngoNkulunkulu kusobala phakathi kwabo; ngoba uNkulunkulu ukubonakalisile kubo (AmaRoma 1:16-19)
Ivangeli elethwa futhi lisaletha ukukhululwa emandleni kasathane nokufa nesihogo, futhi ubuyisana nabantu noNkulunkulu futhi uyaphilisa (buyisela) abantu abavela esimweni sabo sokuwa.
UPawulu akazange aliguqule ivangeli namazwi kaNkulunkulu ukuze ajabulise abantu noma athandwe futhi amukelwe abantu. Kodwa uPawulu wabhekana nabantu ngeqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi washumayela uKristu ophilayo futhi wabiza abantu ukuba baphenduke. Ngenxa yokushumayela kwakhe ivangeli, abantu abaningi bakhululwa emandleni obumnyama futhi ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu basindiswa futhi badluliselwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu, lapho uJesu Kristu eyiNkosi (AbaseKolose 1:13-14).
Abantu, abenza imisebenzi yenyama abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu
Anazi yini ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu? Ungakhohliswa: hhayi izifebe, Futhi abakhonza izithombe, noma iziphikiso, futhi noma ukufezekisa, noma abahlukumezi bakithi ngesintu (ongqingili), Namasela, noma ihaha, noma izidakwa, noma abaphikisi, noma ukuphaphama, Uyakulidla Ilifa Ngombuso KaNkulunkulu. Babenjalo abanye benu: kodwa seligezisiwe, Kepha ningcweliswa, kodwa lilungisisiwe ebizweni leNkosi uJesu, Ngomoya kaNkulunkulu wethu (1 AbaseKorinte 6:9-11)
Manje imisebenzi yenyama iyabonakala, Yikuphi lokhu; Ukuphinga (Ukuya ocansini ngokuzithandela phakathi komuntu oshadile nomuntu okungeyena owakwakhe umngane wakhe womshado, ngokubuka ukuhalela umuntu wesifazane, isehlukaniso), ubufebe (isilhurtory, kufaka phakathi ukuphinga nokuphindwana, ubulili obungashadile, ubungqingili, ngokomfanekiso ukukhonza izithombe), ukungcola, ukuxega, Izithombe, ubuthakathi, inzondo, ukwehluka, ukulingisa, ulaka, ingxabano, iziyaluyalu, amambuka, umona, ukubulala, ukudakwa, ukuxokozela, futhi kanjalo: kwalokho engikutshela khona ngaphambili, Njengoba ngiphinde ngikutshele ngesikhathi esidlule, ukuthi labo abazenza izinto ezinjalo ngeke balizuze ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu (KwabaseGalathiya 5:19-21)
Ngisho nasemabandleni endawo, UPawulu washumayela sonke iseluleko nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi wabiza abantu ukuba baphile ukuphila okungcwele, kusukela babengasezona izoni kodwa waba ngabangcwele. Wabhekana nalabo, owaphikelela esonweni wabayala ukuba basuse izono.
UPawulu akazange azame ukuveza imisebenzi yobumnyama, imisebenzi yenyama, ubabize ngamagama uthi labo, owenza leyo misebenzi futhi eqhubeka nokwenza leyo misebenzi, kabayikulidla ilifa loMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
UPawuli wayengesabi ukubiza izono ezenziwayo azidalule futhi abhekane nokususa umuntu, owaphikelela esonweni futhi eqhubeka enza imisebenzi yenyama futhi engafuni ukuphenduka, Kusuka esontweni. Ngobani? Ngoba uPawulu wayeyindodana kaNkulunkulu futhi wayengokomoya futhi ebona imisebenzi kadeveli futhi engayivumeli imisebenzi kadeveli ebandleni..
UPawulu wayazi, njengoJesu nabanye abaphostoli, ukuthi imvubelo encane ibilisa inhlama yonke kanjalo nesono somuntu, okuwukuhlubuka uNkulunkulu neZwi nentando Yakhe, angangcolisa ibandla (1 AbaseKorinte 5:1-8 (Funda futhi: ‘Lithini iBhayibheli ngesono esontweni?', ‘Ungakwazi yini ukuba nesandla esonweni sokholwa nabo?’ futhi ‘Kusho ukuthini ukuletha umuntu kuSathane?‘)).
UPawulu wayemsulwa egazini labo bonke abantu
Futhi manje, bheka, Ngiyazi ukuthi nina nonke, engihambe phakathi kwabo ngitshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, angisayikubona ubuso bami. Ngalokho ngiyakuthatha ukuba ulobe namuhla, ukuthi ngimsulwa egazini labo bonke abantu. Ngokuba angigodlanga ukunitshela lonke icebo likaNkulunkulu. (IzEnzo 20:25-27)
UPawulu wazenza zonke lezi zinto, ngoba uPawulu wayeyinceku kaKristu futhi wema enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu hhayi yomuntu (Oh. KwabaseGalathiya 1:10).
UPawulu wayengabesabi abantu, kodwa uPawulu waphila ngokulalela uJesu Kristu ekwesabeni iNkosi ngokwentando Yayo futhi washumayela yonke inhloso kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke uPawulu wayemsulwa egazini labo bonke abantu.
Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi uPawulu wayesebe yindodana kaNkulunkulu nenceku kaKristu, UPawulu wayesephenduke isitha sezwe.
UPawulu wafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yakhe yayimibi, njengoJesu, ngakho-ke uPawulu akamukelwanga futhi akathandwa yiwo wonke umuntu futhi wabhekana nokulahlwa, ukumelana, ukushushiswa nokuboshwa, njengezinye izinceku zikaKristu, ababelandela uJesu Kristu futhi ababengenamahloni ngoJesu nangevangeli ngakho bashumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu elingaguquki. (Funda futhi: ”Izinyawo zigqokiswe ukulungela ivangeli lokuthula’.
Kodwa uPawulu akazange athintwe yizo zonke lezi zinto. Lezi zinto azizange zenze uPawulu ayeke ukushumayela ivangeli. Ngakho uPawulu waqhubeka eshumayela isiphambano negazi kanye nayo yonke inhloso kaNkulunkulu, ngoba lalingamandla ensindiso kubo bonke abakholwayo.
Ingabe ivangeli liyaphoqa ngokwanele futhi lingamandla kaNkulunkulu?
Kodwa namuhla, abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi bazi kangcono kunoNkulunkulu uBaba, UJesu Kristu noMoya oNgcwele futhi abazithobi kuJesu Kristu; iZwi, oyiNhloko yeBandla. Abawashumayeli amazwi Akhe, kodwa balungisa amazwi Akhe, ukuze amazwi Akhe athandeke ukuwezwa.
Nokho, ngokwenza lokho baye bafaka amanga omuntu esikhundleni seqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Bacabanga ukuthi benze ivangeli laphoqa futhi lakhanga kakhulu, kodwa eqinisweni baye benza okuphambene.
Amabandla amaningi asephenduke inyama futhi awasanciki kuNkulunkulu namandla Akhe, kodwa bethembele kokwabo ukuqonda, ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi, namakhono futhi benze konke abangakwenza ukuze benze ibandla labo libe yibandla elibukisayo ngokusebenzisa zonke izinhlobo zezindlela zemvelo, njengokukhanya kwe-neon, imibukiso yokukhanya, imishini yokubhema nomculo, futhi ngezikhulumi ezikhuthazayo nemicimbi yomphakathi yenza ivangeli lithandeke kakhulu futhi lisuse leso sithombe esidala esinothuli. Futhi ngakho balishintshile ivangeli, okungamandla kaNkulunkulu kube yinsindiso kubo bonke abakholwayo, evangelini lemizwa egxile enyameni.
Esikhundleni sokuncika kuNkulunkulu naseZwini Lakhe noMoya Wakhe oNgcwele nokushumayela ivangeli leqiniso futhi abantu baphenduke ngempela futhi bazalwe kabusha kuKristu futhi babuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi balandele uMoya entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi bathole ukuthula nenjabulo kaNkulunkulu nokuphila Kwakhe ezimpilweni zabo., bathembele enyameni nangokugxambukela kolwazi, ukuhlakanipha kanye nezindlela zemvelo zomhlaba, balihlubulile ivangeli emandleni alo futhi baliguqula ivangeli libe yisibambiso esibuthakathaka esingenamandla, lapho abantu bengasakhululwa khona emandleni obumnyama futhi baphile ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu, kodwa qhubekani nihamba ebumnyameni ngokungamlaleli uNkulunkulu nokulila nokulila, njengomhlaba nje, ngenkathi ngiphila ngokukhathazeka, edangele futhi ehluliwe, befuna emhlabeni ukuthula nenjabulo nezimpendulo nezixazululo zezinkinga zabo.
Kodwa umhlaba awukwazi ukubanika abakudingayo futhi ukuhlakanipha nolwazi lwezwe ngeke ukwazi ukubakhulula nokubasindisa. Munye kuphela uMuntu, Ubani ongakhulula futhi abasindise futhi abanike lokho abakudingayo futhi ukuthi uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu neZwi eliphilayo.
Ngakho-ke yisikhathi, ukuthi amakholwa aphenduke abuyele eZwini likaNkulunkulu azithobe eZwini nakuMoya oNgcwele futhi asuse konke ukuzijabulisa kwenyama ebandleni futhi ashumayele iqiniso nentando kaNkulunkulu., ukuze abantu abaningi basindiswe futhi bakhululwe ebumnyameni futhi ibandla ngeke limbozwe ngegazi labo bonke abantu, abalahlekile, kodwa ukuthi ibandla lihlale lihlanzekile futhi limbozwe ngegazi likaJesu Kristu kuphela.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
