Kwathi abanye babaFarisi bezwa amazwi kaJesu, ukuthi wayezele ukwahlulela emhlabeni, ukuthi ababonanga abangaboni nokuthi ababonayo kungenzeka bangaboni, babuza uJesu ukuthi babeyizimpumputhe yini. UJesu wabaphendula, uma ubuyizimpumputhe, akufanele ube nesono: kodwa manje uthi, siyabona; ngakho isono senu sihlezi. Wayesho ukuthini uJesu ngalokho? Asho ukuthini la mazwi kaJesu ebandleni? Ingabe ibandla liyabona noma liyimpumputhe?
UJesu wenza izimpumputhe zabona, kodwa izimpumputhe ezibonayo
Impumputhe yathola ukubona, ngoba wezwa futhi wakholwa amazwi kaJesu futhi wawalalela futhi ngenxa yalokho wenza lokho uJesu ayemyale ukuba akwenze. Wayekholelwa ukuthi uJesu wayenjalo (futhi kusenjalo) uKristu. Kodwa abaFarisi, ababeyizazi zomthetho nabaprofethi futhi okufanele ngabe bajwayelene namazwi nentando kaNkulunkulu neziprofetho eziphathelene noKristu kwakufanele baqaphele uJesu njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu noKristu., kodwa abawakholwanga amazwi kaJesu futhi bengakholwa ukuthi uJesu wayenguKristu, Kepha wamenqaba.
Njengoba nje babengakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayethumele uJohane uMbhapathizi emhlabeni ukuze alungise indlela yokuza kukaJesu Kristu futhi ngenxa yalokho bala ukukholwa nokulalela amazwi nomyalo kaJohane uMbhapathizi futhi baphenduke futhi babhapathizwe. (O.A. Mathewu 21:32, Funda futhi: uJohane uMbhapathizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
AbaFarisi babenezikhundla eziphakeme futhi begcwele iziqu zabo futhi bethembele ekuhlakanipheni kwabo siqu, ukuqonda, amakhono, futhi isebenza.
Babezibona belungile futhi bezibheka njengamadoda alungile, kuyilapho imvelo yabo yayiyimbi futhi imisebenzi yabo yayingahambisani nentando kaNkulunkulu.
AbaFarisi’ ingqondo yayiphuphuthekiswe ngokomoya. Babezitshela ukuthi bahlukile kulo mthetho futhi baphakanyiswe ngaphezu kwabantu. Lokhu kuzikhukhumeza kwababopha ebugqilini futhi kwabavimbela ukuba bazithobe futhi baphenduke baphenduke ezindleleni zabo ezimbi baphendukele kuNkulunkulu..
Ukuziqhenya komuntu akusoze kwaletha umuntu ekuphendukeni, kodwa ukuzigqaja komuntu kuyokwenza ukuthi umuntu ahambe ebumnyameni futhi aphikelele esonweni.
Othi uyabona kodwa uphikelele esonweni, isono sakhe sihlezi
UJesu wathi, Ukuze ngigwetshwe ukwahlulela kulomhlaba, ukuthi ababonayo ababoni; nokuthi ababonayo kungenzeka bayimpumputhe. Abanye kubaFarisi ababenaye bezwa lawo mazwi, wathi kuye, Ingabe nathi siyizimpumputhe? uJesu wathi kubo, Uma beniyizimpumputhe, anifanele ukuba nesono: kodwa manje nithi, Siyabona; ngakho isono senu sihlezi. (UJohane 9:39-41)
Lapho abanye abaFarisi bebuza uJesu ukuthi babeyizimpumputhe yini, UJesu wabaphendula, uma ubuyizimpumputhe bekufanele ungabi nasono, kodwa manje uthi, siyabona, ngakho isono senu sihlezi. UJesu wayekusho lokho uma abaFarisi, imisebenzi yabo yayimibi ngakho-ke benza izinto eziphikisana ngokuphelele nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi abazange bathobele amazwi nentando kaNkulunkulu., babeyizimpumputhe ngaleso sikhathi babengeke babe nasono. Kodwa ngoba bathi babonile, ngenkathi behamba ebumnyameni futhi benza izinto eziphikisana ngokuphelele nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi abazange bathobele amazwi nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi ngenxa yalokho benza isono., isono sabo sahlala.
UJesu wafakaza, ukuthi imisebenzi yenyama mibi nawo wonke umuntu, ophikelela esonweni uhamba ebumnyameni futhi enze izinkanuko nentando kayise uSathane, Ngubani umbusi waleli zwe. Uma umuntu ebekezela esonweni engahambi ekukhanyeni futhi engenzi intando kaNkulunkulu futhi ongeyena okaNkulunkulu kodwa uSathane (Oh. UJohane 8:44, AbaseKolose 1:21, Thithu 1:16, 1 UJohane 3:4-10).
Nakuba umuntu engase athi uyabona, umuntu empeleni uyimpumputhe ngokomoya, ngoba umuntu akaboni ukuthi imisebenzi yenyama nobumnyama mibi, futhi uma umuntu elazi iqiniso lokuthi imisebenzi yenyama nobumnyama mibi, kodwa zenze noma kunjalo, umuntu uyakwamukeliswa ukulahlwa okukhulu (Funda futhi: Ungaqhubeka ukona ngaphansi komusa?).
Kona yini abaFarisi?
Ngenkathi abaFarisi babezishaya abalungile futhi begcwele iziqu zabo futhi becabanga ukuthi bahamba ngokuhlonipha, UJesu wayecabanga okuhlukile. KuMathewu 23, phakathi kwabanye, UJesu wakhuluma ethempelini ezixukwini nakubafundi bakhe ngohambo nemisebenzi yabaFarisi nababhali.
UJesu akazange athule kodwa wadalula imisebenzi yabo.
Yebo, babebaningi phakathi kwababusi abakhulu, owakholwa kuJesu, kodwa kabavumanga Yena, hlezi baxotshwe esinagogeni, ngoba babethanda udumo lwabantu kulodumo lukaNkulunkulu (UJohane 12:42-43).
Kodwa iningi labaFarisi nababhali babengabaqondisi abayizimpumputhe, abazenzileki, amathuna amhlophe, izisebenzi, nesizukulwane samabululu, abangazange bahlale eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu, njengoyise wabo udeveli, ongazange ahlale eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu kodwa ngenxa yokuzidla kwakhe waba ongakholwayo futhi wawa esikhundleni sakhe (Funda futhi: Impi engadini).
Nakuba ababhali nabaFarisi babehlezi esihlalweni sikaMose bafundisa abantu, abazange bakwenze lokho ababekufundisa futhi bayala abantu ukuba bakwenze. Babopha imithwalo enzima futhi enzima ukuthwalwa futhi bayibeka emahlombe abantu, kepha abavumanga ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wabo.
Bayenza yonke imisebenzi yabo ukuze babonwe ngabantu futhi babazwe futhi bakhulekelwe ngabantu. Ngakho-ke, benza imisebenzi ngezizathu zobugovu (Funda futhi: Uyini umehluko phakathi kukaJesu nabaholi benkolo?).
AbaFarisi babengabazenzisi nabaholi abayizimpumputhe
AbaFarisi nababhali babengabazenzisi; abalingisi besigaba sempilo, ababedlala indima yento ababengeyona, ngalokho:
- Bavalela abantu uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, ngoba kabangenanga bona, futhi kababavumelanga abangenayo ukuthi bangene
- Badla izindlu zabafelokazi futhi ngokuzenzisa benza umthandazo omude
- Bazungeza ulwandle nomhlaba ukuze benze umproselithe oyedwa, kwathi esenziwe bamenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili kunabo.
- Okweshumi okukhokhwayo kweminti neanise nekhumin, futhi wayeshiyile izindaba zomthetho ezinzima, isahlulelo, ububele, nokholo.
- Babengabaholi abayizimpumputhe, owahluza insensane, wagwinya ikamela
- Bahlanza ingaphandle lendebe lesitsha, kodwa ngaphakathi babegcwele ukuphanga lokuqila.
- Babefana namathuna acakiwe, okwabonakala kukuhle ngempela ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi zazigcwele amathambo abafileyo, lakukho konke ukungcola. Kanjalo nabo ngaphandle babonakala belungile kubantu, kepha ngaphakathi babegcwele ukuzenzisa nobubi.
- Bakha amathuna abaprofethi, futhi ehlotshiswe amathuna abalungileyo, Futhi wathi, Ukube babekhona ezinsukwini zoyise, babengeke bahlanganyele nabo egazini labaprofethi. Ngakho-ke babengofakazi ngokwabo, ukuthi babengabantwana balabo ababulala abaprofethi futhi babeyogcwalisa izilinganiso zoyise.
AbaFarisi nababhali babeyizinyoka, isizukulwane samabululu. Babezobalekela kanjani ukulahlwa kwesihogo?
UJesu waprofetha futhi watshela abaFarisi nababhali, ukuthi Uzathuma kubo abaprofethi, namadoda ahlakaniphileyo, lababhali: abanye babo bababulala, bababethela; abanye babatshaya ngesiswepu emasinagogeni abo, futhi nizingele emzini ngomuzi:, ukuze kufike phezu kwabo igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya, abambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare (Funda futhi: Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange awuhloniphe umnikelo kaKayini?).
Benzani abaFarisi emva kokubhekana neZwi?
Ngemva kokuba uJesu esekhulume la mazwi futhi esebhekane nabaFarisi nababhali ngezono zabo, abaFarisi nababhali baphinde baba nokuzikhethela, ngokubhekana neZwi nangokuqiniseka ngesono sabo, ukuze bazithobe futhi baphenduke noma cha.
AbaFarisi bakhetha okwakamuva, lapho amazwi kaJesu agcwaliseka futhi abagcinanga ngokubulala uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi waMbethela esiphambanweni, kodwa baphinde bashushisa iBandla Lakhe baze babulala abanye beBandla ukuze bathule amakholwa bacime nokukhanya (Funda futhi: Ukuthi ubumnyama bacisha kanjani ukukhanya).
Futhi lokhu kusenzeka, ngoba umoya ofanayo owasebenza kubaFarisi nababhali usasebenza futhi uyasebenza ezimpilweni zabaholi abaningi bamabandla. (Funda futhi: Ikuphi ukufana phakathi kwabaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu bangaleso sikhathi namanje?)
UJesu nabaphostoli baxwayisa amakholwa ngabaprofethi bamanga nabafundisi bamanga
Ngoba kuyovela oKristu bamanga nabaprofethi bamanga, futhi bayokwenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, ukuyenga, uma kwakungenzeka, ngisho nabakhethiweyo. Kodwa qaphelani: bheka, Nginitshele izinto zonke ngaphambili (Maka 13:22-23 (Naye uMathayi 24:24-25))
Qaphela Abaprofethi Bamanga, eza kuwe ezingutsheni zezimvu, Kepha ngaphakathi bayizimpisi eziphangayo. Niyobazi ngezithelo zabo (Mathewu 7:15-16)
Kepha kwakukhona abaprofethi bamanga futhi phakathi kwabantu, njengoba kwenzeka kubafundisi bamanga phakathi kwakho, Ngubani ngasese azoletha ama-helies angenakugwenywa, Ngisho waphika iNkosi eyayithenga, futhi uzenzele ukubhujiswa okusheshayo. Futhi abaningi bazolandela izindlela zabo zobungozi; ngesizathu sokuthi indlela yeqiniso ebiyokhulunywa ngayo okubi okukhulunywa ngayo. Futhi ngokukhanuka bayoba ngamazwi athile aze ancishisiwe enza ukuthengisa kwakho: Isahlulelo sikabani manje esisesikhathini eside singena, futhi ama-damnation abo awawona (2 UPetru 2:1-3)
-Thandekayo, ungakholwa yiwo wonke umoya, Kepha zama imimoya noma ngabe banguNkulunkulu: Ngoba abaprofethi abaningi bamanga baphumile emhlabeni. Ngalokhu niyazana ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu: Wonke umoya ovumayo ukuthi uJesu Kristu ufikile enyameni ungokaNkulunkulu: Futhi wonke umoya ongamvumi ukuthi uJesu Kristu uzile enyameni kaveli kuNkulunkulu: Futhi lo lowo moya ka-Umphik'ukristu, nizwile ukuthi kufanele zize; futhi manje sekuvele kusesimweni (1 UJohane 4:1-3)
UJesu nabaphostoli kamuva baprofetha futhi baxwayisa amakholwa ngalokhu ezincwadini zabo, njengoba babesazi isitha sabo, usathane, futhi babejwayelene nemisebenzi yakhe.
Babazi ukuthi isitha sabo kwakungebona abantu, kodwa isitha sabo kwakuyiso, ophethe phezu kwabantu, abangabezwe (ubumnyama), futhi uyabalawula; usathane.
Abaphostoli nabafundi bakaJesu babengebona abenyama kodwa babefana nje noJesu ngokomoya ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu. Babazi ukuthi bangamasosha kaKristu empini yomoya futhi besebenzisa amandla Akhe emhlabeni futhi abazange balwe nenyama negazi kodwa nababusi., amandla, ababusi bobumnyama balomhlaba, Ngokuphikisana nobubi obungokomoya ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, -phi, phakathi kwabanye, wabusa ezimpilweni zabaholi benkolo abayizimpumputhe futhi washushisa iBandla likaKristu futhi basakhuthele futhi besebenza ezimpilweni zabantu abaningi., kuhlanganise nabaholi bamabandla amaningi.
Ingabe ibandla liyabona noma liyimpumputhe?
Abalindi bakhe bayizimpumputhe: bonke abanalwazi, bonke bayizinja eziyizimungulu, abakwazi ukukhonkotha; elele, elele phansi, ethanda ukulala. Yebo, bayizinja ezihahayo ezingasuthi, futhi bangabelusi abangenakuqonda: bonke babheka indlela yabo, yilowo nalowo ngenzuzo yakhe, kusukela endaweni yakhe. Wozani nina, bathi, ngizolanda iwayini, futhi sizozisuthisa ngophuzo olunamandla; kusasa kuyakuba njenganamuhla, futhi kuningi kakhulu (Isaya 56:10-12)
Ngoba iBandla alilalelanga iZwi futhi alizinaka izixwayiso zeZwi noMoya oNgcwele futhi alizange liphapheme ngokomoya., kodwa udukisiwe, ngemimoya yobumnyama ekhohlisayo, ushintsho lwenzekile eBandleni futhi uMzimba kaKristu wasuka eMoyeni waya enyameni, lapho imimoya yobumnyama inikezwe inkululeko futhi udeveli usemise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi emasontweni amaningi (Funda futhi: Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane futhi Ibandla lomhlaba lilungiselelwa kanjani umphikukristu).
Amakholwa amaningi awasayesabi iNkosi futhi ulwazi lwentando kaNkulunkulu noMbuso wakhe nokuhle nokubi alusekho.. Abayihlukanisi imimoya, kodwa baye baba nokuqhosha futhi bayenqaba ukuzithoba kuJesu Kristu; iZwi, futhi uguqule futhi ugcine imiyalo yaKhe.
Abaningi baye baba sivivi ngokuphathelene nezinto zikaMoya noMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi baye bangenandaba nesono nokungalungi..
Abasibheki isono njengesibi; njengentando kadeveli nesithelo sokufa, kodwa babheka isono njengento evamile neyingxenye yemvelo yomuntu.
Baye bajwayela isono, ngakho-ke akudingeki bashintshe futhi balahle ikhehla, Kepha qhubeka wenza imisebenzi yenyama, futhi ngenxa yalokho izimpilo zabo zihlala zingashintshile futhi baqhubeka bephila njengomhlaba. Abafakazi ngoJesu Kristu futhi ababizi omakhelwane babo ekuphendukeni kodwa bayeke bakhulume lokho abafuna ukukuzwa ngoba abafuni ukudala izinkinga. (Funda futhi: Uma amaKrestu ethule, oyakukhulula abathunjwa bobumnyama?)
Futhi abaningi bathi bazelwe kabusha futhi bangokomoya futhi babona futhi bacabange ukuthi baphila eqinisweni, kuyilapho imisebenzi yabo ifakaza ukuthi bayizimpumputhe futhi basahamba ebumnyameni futhi benza izinkanuko zikayise, njengabaFarisi, ababengaboni kodwa babeyizimpumputhe.
Futhi ngoba bathi bayabona, ngakho-ke bathi bajwayelene nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi banolwazi nokuqonda kukamoya futhi bayazi ukuthi isono asisihle kodwa sibi., kanjalo uqhubeke ukona ngamabomu, izono zabo ziyakuhlala.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
