UJesu wayenguMngane wabathelisi nezoni ngokuvamile usetshenziswa amaKristu ukuphila njengezwe nokuhlanganyela nabangakholwa futhi avume isono.. Ngokushesha nje lapho ubhekana nomKristu ngokuziphatha okuthile, isono, noma ubungane nomhlaba, uvame ukuzwa, “Kodwa uJesu wayenguMngane wabathelisi, izifebe, nezoni, futhi waba nobudlelwano nabo. Ukube Wayenabo ubudlelwano nabo, futhi singaba nobudlelwano nabangakholwa futhi sibamukele futhi sibahloniphe ngalokho abayikho futhi singabehluleli. Kodwa kuyiqiniso lokho, uJesu wayengumngane wabathelisi, izifebe, kanye nezoni futhi wayenabo ubudlelwano nezoni ngokweBhayibheli?
UJohane uMbhapathizi washumayela umbhapathizo wokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono
Ngaphambi kokuthi uJesu afike esiteji, UJohane uMbhabhathizi wawusesiteji. UJohane uMbhapathizi wayengumbulali kaJesu futhi walungisa indlela ye Ukuza KukaJesu Kristu. UJohane washumayela ehlane laseJudiya umbhapathizo wokuphenduka. Uthe, Phenduka (Ukuba noshintsho lwengqondo oluzozisola ngalo kanye nokushintshwa kokuziphatha), Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele.
UJohane umbhapathizi washumayela ngendlela engokomthetho, amandla adonsela phansi negunya, okumele alalelwe futhi alandelwe.
eJerusalema, lonke iJudiya nesifunda sonke saseJordani beza kuJohane umbhapathizi. Babhapathizwa nguJohane emfuleni iJordani kuyilapho bevuma izono zabo obala (Mathewu 3:1-6).
uJohane umbhabhathizi kazange esabe futhi ethuswe abaFarisi labaSadusi lapho beza ekubhabhathizweni kwakhe.. Kunalokho, UJohn wabaxoxa ngokuziphatha kwabo.
Wababiza ngesizukulwane sezinyoka wababizela ukuba baphenduke ukuze bathele izithelo, obezobhekana nokuphenduka. Kepha benqaba izeluleko zikaNkulunkulu, ngokwenqaba ukubhapathizwa.
UJohane washumayela umbhapathizo wokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono futhi wabhapathiza abantu abalalela ubizo lwakhe (Mathewu 3:1-12, Luka 3:9).
Phakathi kwabantu abalalela ubizo lwakhe futhi babhapathizwa kwakukhona nabathelisi (okwakungeyendlu ka-Israyeli).
Abathelisi baphenduka babuza uJohane ukuthi benzeni
Abathelisi beza kuJohane futhi baphenduka lapho bezwa izwi lakhe futhi shayela ukuphenduka Ukuze kuxolelwe izono futhi kwabhapathizwa.
Abathelisi babuza uJohn, okwakumele bakwenze. uJohane wabaphendula, ukuthi kufanele babuze (-lo ngqo) akusekho ngaphezu kwalokho, okwaqokwa kubo (Luka 3:12-13; 7:29-30).
Laba bathwebuli baphenduka ezonweni zabo futhi babhapathizwa. Yize babesabase emphakathini, Babengeyona eyabasebathelisi abangalawulwa, ababehaha, abathanda imali, abaqambimanga, Abapheki nabasolwa bahlasela abantu futhi baqhubeka nemisebenzi yabo emibi, okwakuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu.
UJesu wabizela abalahlekile bendlu yakwa-Israyeli ekuphendukeni
UJesu weza emhlabeni, ngenkathi iSivumelwano Esidala sisekhona. Akazange eze endaweni yokuqala kwabeZizwe, Kepha izimvu ezilahlekile zendlu yakwa-Israyeli (Mathewu 15:24).
UJesu wezela abantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano ngokuzalwa kwemvelo kanye nokusoka kwenyama. Abathelisi, izifebe, nezoni, Obani okushiwo eBhayibhelini, kwakungowendlu ka-Israyeli.
Nakuba babenesikhundla sabeZizwe, babengebona abeZizwe ngokwemvelo. Baphambuka endleleni yeNkosi bangena indlela, okwakungeyena ngokusho kwe- intando kaNkulunkulu.
Abathelisi, izifebe nezoni benza emehlweni kaJehova, futhi wahlala isono. Babengabampofu nabampofu bendlu yakwa-Israyeli.
Ukufika kukaJesu akushintshanga lutho ngomyalezo kaNkulunkulu owashunyayelwa yibo bonke abaprofethi kanye noJohane umbhabhadisi.. UJesu washumayela umyalezo ofanayo woMbuso futhi wabiza abantu, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli, Ukuphenduka ekuxolelwe izono.
UJesu akazange ahambe futhi ahlanganyele nabeZizwe, kodwa waya kubantu bendlu kaIsrayeli washumayela ivangeli kwabampofu. Waphulukisa abanenhliziyo eyaphukile, washumayela ukukhululwa kubathunjwa, futhi wabuyisa ukubona izimpumputhe, ukukhulula abachotshoziweyo, Futhi washumayela unyaka owamukelekayo weNkosi (Luka 4:18-19).
Ingabe uJesu wavumelana nesono?
UJesu akazange avume isono futhi akazange ahlanganyele nabathelisi nezoni, ababengababantu bakaNkulunkulu, kepha waphikelela esonweni. Akazange ahlanganyele nabeZizwe noma, Njengoba abantu abaningi kangaka bacabanga futhi bathi. Ngoba yize uJesu afela isizukulwane sabantu abawile, Isihe nomusa kaNkulunkulu weza kwabeZizwe ngemuva kokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu nangemva kokuza komoya ongcwele (IzEnzo 10).
UJesu akazange ahlanganyele noMningi Nezoni, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli, ngenxa yezizathu zobugovu ngenhloso yokuba nobudlelwano nabo. Akazange abe ngumhlanganyeli wemisebenzi yabo futhi alungise imithetho nezindinganiso zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu ezifisweni nasezintandweni zabo..
NoJesu akazange aguqule isigijimi sakhe sibe yilokho abantu ababefuna ukukuzwa.
UJesu wakhuluma nabantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano ngokuhlubuka kwabo, izono nokungalungi kanye wababizela ekuphendukeni wasebalaya, phakathi kwabanye, ngeke usasona (i.e. UJohane 5:14; 8:11)
Imisebenzi ye (-guqukile) Abathelisi babebi futhi bengalungile. UJesu waqinisekisa ukuthi ukuziphatha nemisebenzi yabo yayingezinhle emiBhalweni elandelayo:
Ngaphezu kwalokho uma umfowenu ezophambane nawe, hamba umtshele iphutha lakhe phakathi kwakho naye ninodwa: uma ekuzwa, umzuzile umfowenu. Kodwa uma engayikukuzwa, bese uthatha kanye nawe oyedwa noma ababili ngaphezulu, ukuze ngomlomo wofakazi ababili kumbe abathathu wonke amazwi aqiniswe. Futhi uma edebeza ukubezwa, litshele ibandla: kodwa uba edebeselela ukuzwa ibandla, makabe kuwe njengendoda yakudala nomthelisi (Mathewu 18:15-17)
Ngokuba uma nithanda abanithandayo, linamvuzo muni? kabenzi njalo labathelisi? Futhi uma nibingelela abafowenu kuphela, wenzani ukwedlula abanye? ningenzi kanjalo nabathelisi? Ngakho-ke yibani ngabaphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele (Mathewu 5:44-48)
UJesu akayena umuntu ongumuntu
UJesu akavumanga futhi avume isono. Hhayi imisebenzi emibi ye (-guqukile) abathelisi. UJesu wayengeyena uMfundi Wabantu owayebekezelela, kuvunyelwe futhi kuqinisekiswe konke, kuhlanganise nesono. Abantu, osho lokhu, abalazi iBhayibheli; iZwi. Banayo wadala uJesu wazo Engqondweni yabo yenyama, Ngubani obukeka njengabo bonke.
UJesu akazange athethelele izenzo ezimbi zabathelisi nezoni. Akazange abe nenhlanganyelo nabathelisi nezoni, ababengazimisele ukuphenduka futhi bakhuthale ezonweni zabo.
Lokho kungenxa yokuthi isono siwukuhlubuka nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu futhi sibangela ukwehlukana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu.
Lapho uJesu ethatha yonke isono sobuntu kuye, uBaba waMshiya. Ngaleso sikhathi, UJesu wayekhona Ihlukaniswe noyise. Isono sabangela ukwahlukana, Futhi isono sisebangela ukwahlukana, naphezu kokufika kukaJesu Kristu kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga.
Umsebenzi wokuhlenga awubandakanyi ukwamukela isono nokungalungi. Kepha umsebenzi wokuhlenga uqukethe ukuhlengwa kwe Indoda endala yenyama, Ngokubeka inyama; Ukufa kwenyama, ukuze umuntu omutsha avuswe kwabafileyo.
UJesu Ungukukhanya Komhlaba
UJesu Ungukukhanya Komhlaba. Ngenkathi uJesu ehamba kulomhlaba, Wafakazela ukuthi imisebenzi yezwe kubi (UJohane 7:7). UJesu wabhekana nabantu ababehamba ebumnyameni nezono zabo futhi wababizela ekuphendukeni.
UJesu akazange awavale amehlo Akhe. Akashongo, “Wenza umsebenzi omuhle, Qhubeka Nendleleni Ophila Ngayo " noma "Usokile ngakho-ke uyasindiswa, Naphezu kwemisebenzi owenzayo.” NoJesu akashongo, ukuthi uNkulunkulu waqonda imisebenzi yabo emibi futhi wayamukela.
Cha, UJesu wabiza abantu abonayo ukuba baphenduke. Wabayala ukuba basuse izono zabo. UJesu wathi: “hamba ungene futhi”.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi esivumelwaneni esidala, Indoda yenyama isivele inekhono lokona.
Bangenza okuthile ngakho, okungukuthi ukumelana nesono nesono akusekho. Kepha bekungukukhetha kwabo. Futhi ukukhetha kwabo kuncike emyalweni wokuqala, okungukuthi uma wathanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yabo yonke, ingqondo, umphefumulo namandla (Duteronomi 10:12, Maka 12:30).
Ngoba uma uthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, umphefumulo, ingqondo namandla, Ngeke uphikelele esonweni, kepha uzokwazi inzondo isono, NjengoNkulunkulu, UJesu noMoya oNgcwele, futhi uphenduke futhi ususe izono empilweni yakho.
Lapho uJesu eza futhi ehlala phakathi kwabantu, ukukhanya okuboniswe ebumnyameni.
Abantu bendlu yakwa-Israyeli babebhekene nesimo sabo sobumnyama nesingcolile kanye nemisebenzi yabo emibi yokungalungi.. Ngoba uJesu wafakaza ngemisebenzi yabo emibi futhi waletha imisebenzi yabo yobumnyama ekukhanyeni, Abaningi bazonda uJesu. Kodwa hhayi wonke umuntu, ngoba kunabantu abaningi, owakholwa waphenduka (UJohane 7:7; 15:18).
Lokhu kwenzeka futhi phakathi kwabathelisi, Izifebe nezinye izoni, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli. Lapho behlangana noJesu, Ngubani omele uNkulunkulu nombuso wakhe, Babebhekene nemisebenzi yabo emibi futhi waphenduka ezonweni zabo ngesisekelo samazwi kaJesu futhi balandela uJesu.
Babengaseyona izoni, kodwa bakholwa, waphenduka, futhi basindiswa.
Ukubizwa kukaMathewu umthelisi
Esadlula, Wabona uLevi indodana ka-Alfabe ehleli lapho etholwe inkambiso, wathi kuye, Ngilandele. Wasuka wamlandela. Futhi kwenzeka, lokho, Ngenkathi uJesu ehleli enyameni endlini yakhe, Abathelisi nezoni abaningi bahlala futhi kanye noJesu kanye nabafundi bakhe: ngoba babeningi, bamlandela. Lapho ababhali nabaFarisi bembona edla nabathelisi nezoni, Basebesithi kubafundi bakhe, Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi adle futhi aphuze nabathelisi nezoni? Lapho uJesu ezwa lokho, Wathi kubo, Bonke abanaso isidingo sodokotela, Kepha abagulayo: Angifikanga ukubiza olungile, Kepha izoni ziphenduke (Maka 2:14-17)
Emva kwalezizinto waphuma, futhi wabona umthelisi, okuthiwa yiLevi, ngihleli lapho ngithola inkambiso: Wayesethi kuye, Ngilandele. Washiya konke, wasukuma, wamlandela. ULevi wamenza idili elikhulu endlini yakhe: Futhi kwakukhona inkampani enkulu yabathelisi neyenye ababehlala phansi nabo. Kepha ababhali babo nabaFarisi bakhonobu babubula abafundi bakhe, ethi, Kungani nidla futhi niphuza nabathelisi nezoni? UJesu waphendula wathi kubo, Abanakho konke abadingi ukuthi udokotela; Kepha abagulayo. Angifikanga ukubiza olungile, Kepha izoni ziphenduke (Luka 5:27-32)
Wabuya wabuyela eceleni kolwandle; Isixuku sonke sasingena kuye, futhi wabafundisa. Futhi njengoba edlula, Wabona uLevi indodana ka-Alfabe ehleli lapho etholwe inkambiso, wathi kuye, Ngilandele. Wasuka wamlandela.
Futhi kwenzeka, lokho, Ngenkathi uJesu ehleli enyameni endlini yakhe, Abathelisi nezoni abaningi bahlala futhi kanye noJesu kanye nabafundi bakhe: ngoba babeningi, bamlandela. Lapho ababhali nabaFarisi bembona edla nabathelisi nezoni, Basebesithi kubafundi bakhe, Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi adle futhi aphuze nabathelisi nezoni? Lapho uJesu ezwa lokho, Uthi kubo, Bonke abanaso isidingo sodokotela, Kepha abagulayo: Angifikanga ukubiza olungile, Kepha izoni ziphenduke (Maka 2:13-17)
Kule Mibhalo, Sifunda ngocingo lukaMathewu (ebizwa nangokuthi uLevi). UMathewu wayengumthelisi; Umqoqi wentela, Kepha lapho uJesu efika futhi wezwa amazwi akhe, UMathewu walalela amazwi Akhe, futhi ngokushesha washiya konke ngemuva futhi walandela uJesu. UMathewu waba ngomunye wabafundi bakaJesu abayishumi nambili.
Lapho uJesu nabanye abafundi bakhe bengena ekhaya likaMathewu futhi belala etafuleni nabanye abaqoqi nezoni, Ababhali baya kubafundi bakhe bambuza, kungani inkosi yayo (uJesu) Beka nabathelisi nezoni.
UJesu wayizwa imibuzo yabo futhi wayiphendula, ukuthi akazange eze ukuzobiza olungile, Kepha izoni ziphenduke.
Ngakho-ke, UJesu akazange ahlehlise nabaqoqi nezoni, Akazange avume imisebenzi yawo, Kepha uJesu wababiza ukuba baphenduke.
Ukuphenduka kweZacchaeus, Umthelisi omkhulu
UJesu wangena, wadabula iJeriko, bheka, Kwakukhona indoda egama linguZakewu, okwakuyinduna phakathi kwabathelisi, futhi wayecebile. Futhi wafuna ukubona uJesu ayeyikho; futhi akwazanga ukuthola umshini, ngoba wayengaphansi kwesiqu. Wagijima ngaphambili, futhi wakhuphukela esihlahleni se-aycore ukumbona: ngoba wayezodlula ngaleyondlela. Lapho uJesu efika endaweni, wabheka phezulu, wambona, wathi kuye, Zacchaeus, shesha, wehle; Ngoba namuhla kufanele ngihlale endlini yakho Futhi washesha, wehla, futhi wamemukela ngenjabulo. Futhi lapho bekubona, bonke babubula, ethi, Ukuthi ungenile ukuyohlala nendoda eyisoni futhi uZakewu wema, wathi kuJehova; Bheka, Nkosi, Ingxenye yezimpahla zami ngizinika abampofu; Futhi uma ngithathe noma yini evela kunoma yimuphi umuntu ngokumangalelwa ngamanga, Ngimbuyisela kane. UJesu wathi kuye, Lolu suku yinsindiso iza kule ndlu, Ese-somumuch njengoba naye eyindodana ka-Abrahama. Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu iseza ukuzofuna nokusindisa lokho okwakulahlekile (Luka 19:1-10)
Ngenkathi uZakewu ehleli esihlahleni se-Sycore, UJesu wabiza uZakewu. Eduze, UZakewu walalela ubizo lwakhe, wenza lokho uJesu akuyala ngakho. UZakewu wagibela esihlahleni futhi wamamukela uJesu endlini yakhe ngentokozo.
Lapho abantu bekubona lokhu, Bonke baqala ukububula. Ngoba uJesu wayengaba kanjani isivakashi futhi angenise ekhaya lesoni?
Wasukuma uZakewu watshela uJesu, ukuthi uzonikeza ingxenye yempahla yakhe kwabampofu. Kepha lokho bekungekhona konke! Wethembisile futhi, ukuthi ukube wayethathe noma yini evela kunoma yimuphi umuntu ngokumangalelwa ngamanga, ukuthi uzomvumisa kane.
UJesu wabona ubuqotho bakhe nokuphenduka kwakhe, Ngakho-ke insindiso yafika endlini yayo.
UJesu waphinda futhi, ukuthi weza ezosindisa okulahlekile. Wayazi Izimvu, owayengowendlu yakwa-Israyeli noZakewu kwakuyimvu elahlekile, owatholwa nguJesu wasebabuyisela emhlambini (Luka 15:1-10)
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi
Iningi labaFarisi nabaSadusi babukeka benobuso, Indoda eyesaba uNkulunkulu, kodwa eqinisweni, Babekhukhumele futhi bagcwele ukuziqhenya. Yize babenolwazi olubanzi ngeZwi elilotshiwe likaNkulunkulu, babengamazi uNkulunkulu wabo futhi babengamazi uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Babengayazi intando nenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, futhi babe engazazi izindlela Zakhe. Ngakho-ke, babengenanhliziyo yozwelo ngabalahlekile bendlu ka-Israyeli.
Abazange bahlangane nabo ngezono zabo futhi abababizanga ukuba baphenduke ngothando lukaNkulunkulu. Cha, Kwakungamadodana kaDeveli futhi ehamba emva kwentando yakhe ebumnyameni,.
Ngoba babengamadodana kadeveli, babakhulula babavumela ukuthi baqhubeke bephila esonweni. Ngenkathi kuze kube manje, Babahlulele ngemisebenzi emibi efanayo yokungalungi, abakwenza futhi ekusithekeni, lapho kungekho owabukelayo.
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi babehlakaniphile futhi bebiza uJesu ngokuthi umngane wabathelisi nezoni
Indodana yomuntu (uJesu) weza edla, ephuza, futhi bathi, Bheka indoda yayinhle, kanye ne-winebibber, Umngane wabathelisi nezoni (Mathewu 11:18)
Wabe esesondela kuye bonke abathelisi nezoni ukuba bamuzwe. Futhi abaFarisi nababhali bayabubula, ethi, Lo muntu uthola izoni, futhi udle nabo (Luka 15:1-2)
AbaFarisi nabaSadusi babona uJesu njengomuntu, owathola izoni futhi wadla nabathelisi nezoni. Babembiza ngoJesu umngani wabathelisi nezoni.
Nokho, babengabenyama futhi beholwa yimizwa yabo. Babengazi inhliziyo yabathelisi nezoni, kepha yahlulelwa ngokwalokho abakubonayo. Ababonanga izidumbu nezoni, ophendukayo futhi waba olungile, Kepha bababheka njengabathenjwa kanye nezoni, ababesakwenza imisebenzi emibi.
Yingakho ke, Basola uJesu ngokuthi abe ngumngane wabathelisi nezoni.
Isono sembulwa kanjani?
Esikhathini sokuqala, UNkulunkulu wembula isono kumuntu wenyama ngomthetho owawumele intando kaNkulunkulu. Esikhathini sesibili, UJesu wembula isono endodeni yenyama ngokuba khona kwakhe namazwi akhe, ahambisana nomthetho nentando kaNkulunkulu. UJesu akazange eze ukuzoqeda umthetho futhi ahlukane nakho, kodwa ukugcwalisa umlayo. UJesu waze walungisa nemiyalo ethile yoMthetho futhi wakwenza kwaba nzima, futhi wangeza imiyalo.
Esikhathini sesithathu, esihlala kuyo, uMoya oNgcwele ulahla izwe ngesono futhi ufakaza ngoJesu Kristu. Ngalezi zinto ezintathu, intando kaNkulunkulu ayikashintshi kodwa isafana.
Nakuba ngomsebenzi wokuhlenga kaJesu Kristu iSivumelwano Esidala sithathelwa indawo yiSivumelwano Esisha, kanye isikhundla sendoda ewile ibuyiselwe kuKristu, Ngokuba yindalo entsha; Indoda Entsha KuKristu, Intando kaNkulunkulu isafana.
UJesu wamelela futhi wafakaza ngentando kaNkulunkulu futhi wabizela abantu ekuphendukeni.
UMoya oNgcwele, ohlala endalweni entsha, usamele futhi ufakaze nge intando kaNkulunkulu futhi ubhekana nabantu ngezono zabo futhi ubabizele ekuphendukeni.
Ingabe uJesu wayengumngane wabathelisi?
UJesu akazange azibizile umngani wabathelisi, Kepha abaFarisi nabaSadusi babiza uJesu umngani wabathelisi,. Njengoba nje basho ngoJohane, ukuthi wayenomoya omubi nomubi. Obekungelona iqiniso, Kepha amanga. Basekela umbono wabo (ukuthi uJesu wayenguMngane wabathelisi nezoni), ngenxa yokuthi babona uJesu ehlanganyela nabathelisi. Kodwa laba bathelisi nezoni bakholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi base bephendukile.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, UJesu akazange ahlanganyele futhi ahlanganyele nabo ngenxa yezizathu zobugovu.
UJesu akazange aqale ubungane nabathelisi nezoni futhi abe umhlanganyeli wemisebenzi yabo emibi futhi athethelele imisebenzi yabo.. Kodwa uJesu wabizela ekuphendukeni abathelisi nezoni. UJesu uhlanganyela nabakade bengabathelisi nalabo ababeyizoni, ophenduke wasusa izono zabo.
UJesu akakaze ayale abalandeli bakhe ukuba bayekethise nomhlaba, ukuhlanganyela nabangakholwayo, ukwakha amabhuloho nomhlaba, futhi ubumbane nomhlaba.
Lapho nje umuntu esondela kuwe maqondana nobungane nezwe nokwamukelwa yisono futhi asebenzisa amanga empilo, ukuthi uJesu wayengumngane wabathelisi nezoni. Ungabhubhisa la manga, ngokubatshela iqiniso leZwi, okungukuthi uJesu wabumbana ngempela nabathelisi. Kodwa…
Okokuqala nje, babengababantu bakaNkulunkulu besivumelwano ngokuzalwa ngokwemvelo kodwa bachezukiswa kuNkulunkulu, uJesu weza ukubabuyisa. Okwesibili, laba bathelisi nezoni babephendukile futhi basusa izono zabo.
UJesu weza ukuzobiza izoni zendlu ka-Israyeli ukuba ziphenduke futhi zingahlanganyeli emisebenzini emibi yezoni futhi athethelele imisebenzi yazo.. UJesu wayengeyena umgqugquzeli wesono Kepha ngokulunga.
Uma izwe linizonda, uyazi ukuthi lamzonda uJesu ngaphambi kokuthi likuzonde
Kubhaliwe: Uma umhlaba uzokuzonda, niyazi ukuthi bekuzonda ngaphambi kokuba lizonda. Uma beningabezwe, umhlaba ubungathanda okwakhe: kodwa ngoba anisibo abezwe, kodwa mina ngilikhethile emhlabeni, ngalokho izwe liyanizonda. Khumbulani izwi engalikhuluma kini, Inceku ayinkulu kunenkosi yayo. Uma bengishushisile, bayakunizingela nani; Uma beligcinile izwi lami, bayokugcina neyakho. Kepha zonke lezi zinto zizokwenza kuwe ngenxa yegama lami, ngoba abamazi lowo ongithumileyo. Ukube bengingaze ngize ngakhulunywa kubo, Babengenasono: Kepha manje abanasondo ngesono sabo. Ongizondayo uzonda noBaba waMi. Ukube bengingenzi phakathi kwawo Imisebenzi okuyinto enye indoda eyenzile, Babengenasono: kodwa manje sebebonile futhi bazonda mina noBaba. Kepha lokhu kuza kudlule, ukuthi leli gama lingagcwaliswa okulotshwe emthethweni wabo, Bangizonda ngaphandle kwesizathu (UJohane 15:18-25)
Izwe lamzonda futhi lisamzonda uJesu, ngoba iZwi lafakaza ngemisebenzi yabo emibi. Abantu abangabakaJesu nabazelwe nguNkulunkulu, izodonswa ngumhlaba. Ngoba umhlaba uthanda kuphela lezo, abangabezwe abenza imisebenzi yabo emibi.
Uma ungasekho emhlabeni, futhi ungabi ngumhlanganyeli wemisebenzi yakhe, Uzozondwa ngumhlaba.
Lokho kungenxa yokuthi umoya ongcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kwakho, Ofakaza ngezenzo ezimbi zomhlaba.
UJesu wasiyala ukuba siphile ukuphila okungcwele ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu (okubuye kube yintando kaJesu), kanye nokumela, Shumayela Futhi Ulethe Umbuso KaNkulunkulu Emhlabeni.
Lokho kuhlanganisa nokushunyayelwa kwesiphambano kanye nobizo lokuphenduka kanye nokususwa kwezono, ukuze abalahlekile bazosindiswa.
UJesu akazange athi ngokuba nobudlelwano nezwe (izoni), yiba ngumhlanganyeli wemisebenzi yabo futhi uphile ngendlela izwe eliphila ngayo esonweni. Kepha uJesu wathi kungena ezweni futhi ashumayele iVangeli kuzo zonke izidalwa, nokubabizela ekuphendukeni futhi nibafundise zonke izinto uJesu azifundisa (Maka 16:15)
Kodwa inqobo nje uma amaKristu ekholwa amanga, ukuthi akunandaba ukuthi uphila kanjani nokuthi uvunyelwe ukuphila esonweni, futhi ngenxa yalamanga, abazisusi izono ezimpilweni zabo, Babengayishumayeza kanjani ivangeli likaJesu Kristu futhi babize izoni ukuba baphenduke futhi basuswe izono?
How can Christians be a witness and call the people to repentance if they have not repented themselves?
How can Christians be a witness of Jesus Christ and call the people who live in sin to repentance if they have not repented themselves? And how can they expect from others, abangazenzi bodwa? That’s why the preaching of repentance and the removing of sins is hardly preached anymore.
Christians are more focused on gaining as much knowledge as possible, okuhlangenwe nakho okungaphezu kwemvelo, Ukuhamba Ngaphezulu Kwemvelo, iziprofetho, imiqondo, signs and wonders and rather preach or hear self help or motivational sermons about ukuchuma, Ukuthola ingcebo futhi uphumelele kulomhlaba.
Nokho, with these sermons, ngeke ungene emasangweni ezulu, ngoba ngaphandle kokungcweliswa akekho ozobona iNkosi (amaHebheru 12:14).
That’s why it’s time to expose all those pious lies, that are wrapped in half-truths, Ngeqiniso leZwi bese ubasusa futhi ushumayele izwi likaNkulunkulu, Ukuze imiphefumulo eminingi iyosindiswa ekubhujisweni.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
