AmaKristu amaningi afuna ukuphila ukuphila kovuko. Nokho, abazimisele ukudela ukuphila kwabo emhlabeni futhi bafe enyameni. Ukuhamba ekuphileni kovuko ngaphandle kokufa kuwumyalezo oshunyayelwa emasontweni amaningi. Bathi (futhi wenze amaKristu akholwe) ukuthi ivangeli ngeke likubize ngalutho futhi uhlale ngendlela oyikho futhi uphile ngendlela ofuna ukuphila ngayo. Kodwa ingabe uJesu uyasiqinisekisa lesi sifundiso? Lithini iBhayibheli ngempilo yovuko, ungaphila impilo yokuvuka ungafi?
Wathini uJesu ngempilo yokuvuka nokumlandela
UJesu washo ngempilo yokuvuka nokumlandela, ukuthi noma ngubani othanda impilo yakhe kulo mhlaba futhi ofuna ukuyisindisa, izolahlekelwa yikho. Futhi lowo ozonda ukuphila kwakhe kuleli zwe, futhi ulahlekelwa ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yaKhe nangenxa yevangeli, uzakufumana ukuphila okuphakade (Mathewu 10:39, 16:24-25, Maka 8:35, UJohane 12:25).
Naphezu kwalokho okushiwo abashumayeli abaningi, UJesu uthi, ukuthi uma ufuna landela uJesu, kuzokubiza ukuphila kwakho.
Uma ungasithathi isiphambano sakho bese ulandela uJesu, awumfanele uJesu futhi awukwazi ukuba ngumfundi Wakhe. (Mathewu 10:38, Maka 8:34, Luka 9;23; 14:27).
Kuphela uma unokuhlangana komuntu siqu noJesu Kristu weqiniso, futhi ubungcwele Bakhe bubhekene nawe ngezono zakho, Isono Imvelo, kanye nesimo esiwile, uzozonda impilo yakho yenyama futhi ulungele ukubeka phansi impilo yakho yenyama futhi ulandele uJesu.
Uma uzimisele ukubeka phansi impilo yakho, uzokwazi ukumlandela futhi hhayi ngokushesha.
Uma ungaqapheli ububi kanye nethonya elibhubhisayo kanye nomphumela wesono kanye nesimo sakho sesono, ngeke uwuqonde umsebenzi futhi inhloso yesiphambano kanye isidingo sokuvuselelwa anokungcweliswa.
Ngokushesha nje lapho kubiza amaKristu okuthile, bahambe
Amasonto amaningi awashumayeli Isidingo sokuvuselelwa kabusha kanye nokungcweliswa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi akuwona umlayezo odume kakhulu, ukuthi amaKristu, abaseyindalo endala yenyama bafuna ukuzwa.
Ngokushesha nje lapho abashumayeli beshumayela umlayezo wokuphenduka, ukungcweliswa, nokususwa kwesono, abantu bayacasuka, ethukuthele, noma ucasuke ushiye ibandla.
Ngokushesha nje lapho kubiza okuthile futhi izinto zilindeleke kubantu, bahambe.
Ake sithathe isibonelo ‘okweshumi’. Uma ukhuluma okweshumi namaKrestu, izikhathi eziningi uzoqaphela ukumelana kule ndawo. Uzwa izizathu eziningi ezishiwo futhi ezisetshenziselwa ukuxosha amaKristu ukuba akhiphe okweshumi.
Kodwa uma amaKristu engazimisele ukunikela ingxenye yeholo lawo kuNkulunkulu, kungani benikela ukuphila kwabo kuNkulunkulu? (Funda futhi: Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho).
Abantu bafuna kuphela ukwamukela izibusiso ezivela kuNkulunkulu futhi bahambe namandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, ngaphandle kwezibopho nangaphandle kokwenza noma yini.
Lokhu akuyona into entsha. Lokhu kwase kwenzeka kuJesu.
Kungani uJesu alahla izinkulungwane zabalandeli?
UJesu wayenezinkulungwane zabalandeli, abaMlandela kuphela ngenxa yezibonakaliso; izimpawu nezimangaliso. Ngokushesha nje lapho uJesu eqala ukukhuluma ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi wakhuluma kanzima futhi ebhekana namazwi kubantu, abantu abaningi bacasuka bafulathela bahamba. (Funda futhi: Ukulandela uJesu ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso).
Ekugcineni kuphela 120 kuzo zonke lezo zinkulungwane zabalandeli zasala. Lezi 120 wakholwa amazwi kaJesu futhi walalela amazwi Akhe. Balinda ngobunye emthandazweni ekamelweni eliphezulu, ngesethembiso sikaJesu; ukufika kukaMoya oNgcwele.
UJesu akazange awushintshe umlayezo wakhe kubantu
Umehluko phakathi kukaJesu nabashumayeli banamuhla ukuthi uJesu wema enkonzweni kaYise futhi eholwa nguNkulunkulu nentando Yakhe, futhi hhayi ngabantu nentando yabo. Ngakho-ke uJesu akazange ayekethise futhi aguqule umlayezo Wakhe ngenxa yabantu, kodwa waqhubeka eshumayela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu.
Abashumayeli abaningi bayashumayela, lokho abantu abafuna ukukuzwa nalokho okuthrendayo, esikhundleni sokushumayela lokho okushiwo uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe. Ngoba kulapho abantu betotoswa kakhulu ngokwenyama futhi bathintwa emizweni nasemizweni yabo, abantu abaningi bazofika. Abantu abaningi beza, lapho ibandla linamalungu engeziwe. Futhi lapho ibandla linamalungu amaningi, lapho ibandla lithola udumo nemali eyengeziwe.
Umuntu omdala uhlala efuna ukuzwa nokwamukela izinto ezintsha
I indalo endala yenyama uthanda izinto ezintsha futhi ufuna ukuzwa nokwamukela izinto ezintsha ngaso sonke isikhathi. Indalo endala iyazwela kokusha (UmKrestu) ukuthambekela, imfundiso, kanye nokubonakaliswa okungaphezu kwemvelo. Udeveli uyakwazi lokhu futhi unikeza abantu lokho abakufunayo.
UDeveli usho, lokho abafuna ukukuzwa futhi banikeze abafuna ukukwamukela.
Ngokuqhubekayo uvela izitayela nezimfundiso ezintsha zobuKristu, ezitholakala kokuhlangenwe nakho komuntu siqu kwabantu, futhi igxile kubantu benyama kanye namandla angaphezu kwawemvelo.
Okwamanje, lezi zimfundiso kancane kancane ziwadukisa amakholwa eZwini.
Ivangeli elizenzele lona ligxile ekubonakalisweni kokomoya; izimpawu nezimangaliso. Inikeza izindlela nezindlela zokuthola ukubonakaliswa okungokomoya futhi uthole izibusiso zezinto ezibonakalayo, kuyilapho izimpilo zamaKristu amaningi zihlala zingashintshile.
AmaKristu amaningi ahlala engokwenyama futhi ahamba ngokwenyama futhi aphikelele esonweni. (Funda futhi: Ungaqhubeka ukona ngaphansi komusa?).
Nokho, ivangeli akufanele lihambisane nokubonakaliswa kukamoya kanye nemisebenzi. Kodwa ivangeli kufanele lizungeze Lowo, Okuvela kuye imisebenzi, okungukuthi uJesu Kristu; iZwi eliphilayo.
Iziprofetho, izimpawu, futhi izimangaliso zingase zingabi indawo agxile kuyo nesizinda somKristu.
Ngabe amakholwa kufanele alandele izibonakaliso nezimangaliso?
Amakholwa akufanele alandele izimpawu nezimangaliso, kodwa kufanele balandele amakholwa. UJesu waxwayisa abafundi bakhe wathi, uma ubheka izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, uzokhohliswa.
Khona uma umuntu ethi kini, Bhekana, nangu uKristu, noma lapho; ningakholwa. Ngokuba kuyakuvela oKristu bamanga, nabaprofethi bamanga, futhi bayokwenza izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso; kangangokuthi, uma kwakungenzeka, bayakudukisa nabakhethiweyo. Bheka, Sengike ngakutshela ngaphambili (Mathewu 24:23-25).
UPawulu waxwayisa nebandla labaseThesalonika. Wabhala: Ngisho naye, ukufika kwakhe kungokokusebenza kukaSathane ngawo wonke amandla, nezibonakaliso, nezimangaliso zamanga, nangayo yonke inkohliso yokungalungi kwababhubhayo; ngoba kabamukelanga uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe (2 Thesalonika 2:9-10)
Liyini ivangeli leqiniso likaJesu Kristu?
Ivangeli leqiniso likaJesu Kristu libiza ukuphenduka, Ukususwa Kwezono, ukuphila ukuphila okungcwele ngemva kwentando kaNkulunkulu, nokuba nokwesaba (ukwesaba) kaNkulunkulu. Lelivangeli alivamile ukushunyayelwa. Ngobani? Abantu abafuni ukuyeka noma yini kodwa bamukele kuphela.
Ofuna ukuzwa umlayezo ozobiza impilo yakho? Ofuna ukuzwa umlayezo othi beka phansi impilo yakho futhi udede ezintweni zomhlaba? Kungani uzofuna ukufa ngokukhululeka enyameni, uma ikhona indlela yokuqhubeka uphila ngokulandela inyama njengezwe, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo uhambe ekuphileni kokuvuka futhi wenze izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, ngokulandela nokusebenzisa izindlela nezindlela zenyama?
AmaKristu amaningi asejwayele lelivangeli lesimanje, ukuthi ngeke besakwazi ukuthwala iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu (UJohane 8:44, 2 UThimothewu 4:4).
Njengoba kuxoxwe ngakho kokuthunyelwe kwebhulogi kwangaphambilini, abashumayeli abaningi nabafundisi bakamoya, shintsha amazwi eBhayibheli.
Baxuba amazwi kaNkulunkulu namafilosofi abo, ezidalwe ulwazi nobuhlakani bomhlaba kanye nolwazi lwazo futhi eziphuma entandweni, izinkanuko, lezifiso zenyama yabo.
Bashumayela awabo amazwi. Esikhundleni sokuzithoba eZwini nokushumayela amazwi kaNkulunkulu nokwenza amazwi kanye intando kaNkulunkulu eyaziwa ngabantu.
Lokho kukhulu ngoba abazimisele alikhumule ikhehla. Ngakho-ke, abasalishumayeli iqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Ngoba iqiniso libhekana nabo ngezono zabo kanye nobubi babo futhi akukhona lokho abakufunayo.
Abafuni ukubhekana nezono zabo futhi bazizwe benecala.
UNkulunkulu wathumela inkohliso enamandla
Ngoba abazimisele ukuzithoba kuNkulunkulu nokulalela iZwi laKhe, UNkulunkulu wabanikela a abalahliwe ingqondo. UNkulunkulu wathumela inkohliso enamandla, lokho kwabenza bakholwa amanga abo. Futhi ngakho bashumayela lamanga ezivakashini zesonto.
Bashumayela izintshumayelo ezikhuthazayo, kuhlangene nokuzisiza kanye nezithembiso ezimangalisayo, lokho kuzungeza umuntu wenyama, ukuchuma, ingcebo nokuthi bangahamba kanjani kokungaphezu kwemvelo futhi benze izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso.
Amazwi abo athakazelisayo athinta futhi ashukumisa imizwelo nemizwa yabantu. Bacaphuna amavesi eBhayibheli ukuze basekele izimfundiso zabo. Nokho, bakhohlwa into eyodwa nje enkulu, Bakhohlwa ukusho nokushumayela ngezimo.
Abashumayeli abaningi bayakhohlwa ukushumayela ngezimo zokuphila impilo yokuvuka
Kufana nje ne- (ku-inthanethi) ikhodi yesaphulelo noma isigqebhezana, owamukelayo futhi ofuna ukukusebenzisa, kodwa akusebenzi uma uphuma. Hhayi uze ufunde imibandela, uthola ukuthi kungani ikhuphoni lesaphulelo noma ikhodi ingasebenzi. Uma ungahlangabezani nemibandela, ikhodi yakho yesaphulelo noma ikhuphoni alinamsebenzi futhi ngeke uthole isaphulelo.
Kuyinto efanayo ngeZwi nazo zonke izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu, Izibusiso Zakhe, nokuphila impilo yokuvuka, ezishunyayelwayo. Uma ungahlangabezani nemibandela, angeke wamukele futhi uhambe empilweni yeqiniso yokuvuka.
IBhayibheli liyincwadi yokufundisa kumuntu omusha, osesidalwa esisha kuJesu Kristu.
Zonke izinto, ezilotshwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu zenzelwe umuntu omusha. IZwi liyisibuko somuntu omusha. (Funda futhi: IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyisibuko).
IZwi licacile futhi lithi, ukuthi umuntu omusha akanakuvela ngaphambi kokuba umuntu omdala afe.
Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu nothando lwakhe ngabantu, UNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu kulo mhlaba. Ukuze ngokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe, wonke umuntu angaba a indalo entsha Ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye nokuvuselelwa kabusha kuye.
Insindiso imahhala kuwo wonke umuntu. Ukungena kumahhala, kodwa kunombandela owodwa. Isimo sinjalo, ukuthi kufanele uzalwe ngokusha. Ayikho enye indlela Faka umbuso kaNkulunkulu, kunokuzalwa ngokusha kuJesu Kristu.
Umuntu omusha ngeke avuke futhi aphile impilo yokuvuka ngaphandle uma umuntu omdala efa
Akunakwenzeka ukuphila njengomuntu omdala futhi wamukele inkokhelo yomuntu omusha. UMoya oNgcwele awukwazi ukuhlala ezimpilweni zabantu abangavuselelwanga; izoni. Izoni zingezezwe (ubumnyama) futhi siphile ngokuhlubuka uNkulunkulu nokungalaleli iZwi laKhe.
Awukwazi ukuphila impilo yokuvuka, ngaphandle kokufa kuqala. Lokhu akusho inqubo yemvelo yokufa, ukufa kwenyama, nokuvuka ngemva kokufa. Kodwa lokhu kusho inqubo yokuzalwa kabusha kule mpilo kulo mhlaba.
Kusho ujuthi, ukuthi kufanele ufe kuKristu enyameni (ngokomoya) nokuthi umoya wakho, owayefile (ngenxa yesono), uvuswa kuYe, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele nokuthi namukele uMoya oNgcwele.
UJesu wasinikeza isibonelo sohlamvu lukakolweni.
Wathini uJesu ngohlamvu lukakolweni?
UJesu wathi ngenhlamvu kakolweni, ukuthi uhlamvu lukakolweni kumelwe luwele emhlabathini futhi lufe kuqala ngaphambi kokuba luthele izithelo eziningi.
Ngiqinisile, ngempela, ngithi kini, Ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lukakolweni luwele emhlabathini futhi lufe, ihlala yodwa: kodwa uma ifa, uthela izithelo ezinengi. Othanda ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; nozonda ukuphila kwakhe kuleli zwe uyakukulondela ukuphila okuphakade (UJohane 12:24-25)
Okokuqala uJesu wabhekisela ekufeni nasekuvukeni Kwakhe. Kodwa le nqubo iyasebenza nakulabo, abafuna ukulandela uKristu.
Inqobo nje uma uhlamvu lukakolweni lungafi, kodwa uhlala yedwa, kawuyikuthela isithelo.
Kuyafana namaKristu amaningi, abahlala bengokwenyama, bagcine izimpilo zabo, futhi basebenzise ivangeli lamanga ukuze bazicebise enyameni
Abazuzeli uJesu Kristu imiphefumulo, ngoba bagxila kubo.
Ngoba bagxila kubo futhi bamatasa ngabo, abaziboni izidingo zomhlaba. Abasiboni isidingo sezwe kanye nabantu abalahlekile ababazungezile. (Funda futhi: Letha ikhaya elahlekile!).
AmaKristu amaningi awawuboni umthelela obhubhisayo nomphumela wesono. Ababoni ukwanda amandla kasathane nokufa, obusa ezimpilweni zabantu abaningi.
Cha, bayakuvumela futhi bacabange ukuthi konke kuhamba kahle futhi abafuni ukugxambukela ezimpilweni nasezindabeni zabantu. Bayabekezela futhi bavumela yonke into. Konke okubalulekile kubo, ukuthi babe nokuphila okujabulisayo, ngaphandle kobunzima, ukumelana, nokushushiswa, futhi ujabulele izinto ezinikezwa yilelizwe.
AmaKristu amaningi awafi futhi aphile impilo yokuvuka futhi ngenxa yalokho imiphefumulo iyalahleka
AmaKristu amaningi awakuthandi isiphambano sabo Futhi landela uJesu. Kunalokho, bahlala ikhehla elingakazalwa, ophila ngokwenyama futhi olalela izwe. Ngenxa yalokhu, bamisa iqiniso nokuphila kukaJesu Kristu.
Ngenxa yobugovu babo kanye nokwesaba ukukhuluma iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu, miningi imiphefumulo elahlekile. (Funda futhi: Ingabe unesibindi sokukhuluma izwi likaNkulunkulu?).
Yingakho ukuvuselelwa kuyadingeka. Ukuze wena (inyama yakho) ungami endleleni futhi ungaphila impilo yokuvuka kuKristu nangokukholwa kuKristu namandla kaMoya oNgcwele, uyoma eqinisweni futhi ume kuJesu Kristu; iZwi, futhi ashumayele futhi alethe uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kubantu.
Kuphela ngalokhu, imiphefumulo iyosindiswa futhi ihlengwe emandleni nasemsebenzini kadeveli owonakalisayo futhi ibuyisane noNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu, Ubani iNdlela, iqiniso, Impilo, kanye noVuko, futhi siphile impilo yokuvuka.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
