Isonto lenze isithombe, ukuthi konke (ezenkolo) abaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu; ababhali, AbaFarisi, nabaSadusi, babebabi futhi bekhungathekisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinhlobo zemithetho, imithetho, amasiko, njll. ezazingavumelani intando kaNkulunkulu. Ngokushesha nje lapho kuxoxwa ngezihloko ezithile noma izindaba ezithile ebandleni, ezihlanganisa izinto, ezichazwe eZwini njengesono futhi ziphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu, masinyane ababhali, AbaFarisi, nabaSadusi kukhulunywa ngabo futhi bathi uJesu wabhekana nabo ngokuziphatha kwabo kwenkolo nezimfundiso zabo. Ngenxa yalokho, amabandla amaningi avumele futhi asemukela isono ebandleni. Kodwa ingabe lokhu kuyiqiniso? Kungani uJesu akhuluma nabaholi benkolo babantu bakaNkulunkulu? Yini eyayingalungile ngabaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu? Futhi kuthiwani ngabaholi bamanje babantu bakaNkulunkulu; abaholi beBandla? Ingabe zihluke kakhulu kubaholi benkolo kuJesu’ isikhathi? Noma ingabe banokuningi abafana ngakho kunalokho okucatshangwa amaKristu? Ikuphi ukufana phakathi kwabaholi benkolo babantu bakaNkulunkulu bangaleso sikhathi namanje?
Uthini uJesu ngemfundiso yababhali nabaFarisi?
Khona uJesu wakhuluma ezixukwini, nakubafundi bakhe, Esho, Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi kuMose’ isihlalo: Ngakho-ke konke abalitshela khona ukuba nikugcine, ababukayo benze; kodwa lingenzi njengemisebenzi yabo: ngoba bathi, futhi ungenzi. Ngoba babopha imithwalo enzima futhi enzima ukuthwalwa, futhi uwabeke emahlombe abantu; kodwa bona abafuni ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wawo (Mathewu 23:1-4)
Ngokwemibhalo, kwakungekho lutho olungalungile ngemfundiso yababhali nabaFarisi. Ngoba uJesu wayala abantu bakaNkulunkulu nabafundi bakhe ukuba bagcine noma yini ababhali nabaFarisi ababebayala ukuba bayigcine futhi bayenze.. Njengoba behlezi esihlalweni sikaMose.
Nokho, UJesu wabayala ukuthi bangenzi ngokwemisebenzi yabo futhi baphile ngendlela ababephila ngayo. Ngoba nakuba bashumayela amazwi kaMose, abazange baphile ngokuvumelana namazwi ababewashumayela.
Futhi empeleni, kuso sonke lesi sikhathi, Akukho okushintshile. Ngoba kulesi sikhathi, abaholi abaningi bebandla benza ngokuzithoba futhi bakhulume futhi bashumayele amazwi angcwele futhi beluleka, fundisa futhi uyale amakholwa epulpiti, kuyilapho bengaphili ngemva kwamazwi abawashumayelayo.
Abaholi abaningi bamasonto baphila ngokuyimfihlo futhi benza lezo zinto, abenqabela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukukwenza, njengoba bephikisana ne intando kaNkulunkulu.
Uthini uJesu ngokuziphatha kwababhali nabaFarisi?
Kodwa yonke imisebenzi yabo bayenza ukuze babonwe ngabantu: bawenza abe banzi amafilakteriyu abo, futhi bandise imiphetho yezingubo zabo, Futhi nithande amagumbi aphezulu emadilini, lezihlalo eziphambili emasinagogeni, Nokubingelelwa ezimakethe, lokubizwa ngabantu, Rabi, Rabi (Mathewu 23:5-7)
Nakuba ababhali, AbaFarisi, nabaSadusi bema ngokusemthethweni enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu, abazange bamkhonze uNkulunkulu ngempilo yabo, kodwa bazikhonza bona.
Bafuna ukunaka kwabantu futhi bahamba ngokuhlonishwa. Babefuna ukuqashelwa, bakhonza, futhi uphakanyiswe ngabantu. Ngakho baziphakamisa phezu kwabantu, benza njengonkulunkulu. Bakhombisa ubuhlakani babo nesimo sabo. Futhi abantu babababaza futhi bababeka phezu kwesisekelo.
Lesi simo sisenzeka. Abantu basabesaba abaholi benkolo. Ngezinye izikhathi ukwesaba kwabo abantu kungaphezu kokwesaba uNkulunkulu.
Abaningi bayagijima ngemuva (odumile) abaholi benkolo futhi babakhulekele futhi bababeke phezu kwesisekelo. Abaningi bayawakholelwa amazwi abashumayeli, abefundisi, izazi zenkolo, abapristi, abaprofethi, abavangeli nabafundisi beBandla ngaphezu kweZwi likaNkulunkulu. Amagama, Imibono, futhi ulwazi lwabaholi benkolo lubhekwa njengeqiniso, ngisho noma bephambana namazwi kanye nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Uthini uJesu ngeziqu?
Kodwa nina maningabizwa ngokuthi Rabi: ngoba munye onguMbusi wenu, ngisho noKristu; lani lonke lingabazalwane. Ningabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi uyihlo: ngoba munye uYihlo, elisezulwini. Futhi ningabizwa ngokuthi amakhosi: ngoba munye onguMbusi wenu, ngisho noKristu. Kodwa omkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu. Futhi yilowo nalowo oziphakamisayo uyothotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa. (Mathewu 23:7-11)
Abaholi bangaleso sikhathi babezithanda iziqu. Njengoba abaholi abaningi namuhla bethanda neziqu, akukho okushintshile ngempela. Abaningi basazisebenzisa ngokuzimisela iziqu ukuze bazibonakalise futhi babonise abanye, ukuthi bangobani nokuthi sebezuzeni. Ngoba iziqu zibahlaba umxhwele abantu benyama. Futhi abantu abaningi bacasha ngeziqu.
Kepha empeleni, isihloko asisho lutho. Isihloko asichazi ukuthi ungubani, kodwa kufakazela kuphela ukuthi uqede isifundo esithile futhi unolwazi oludingekayo lwekhanda kanye/noma uthole isikhundla esontweni.
Kepha embusweni kaNkulunkulu, akuphathelene neziqu. Embusweni kaNkulunkulu konke kumayelana nokuthi a umuntu uzalwa ngokusha futhi uye waba indalo entsha futhi uhlezi kuKristu futhi uhamba emva kweZwi noMoya egunyeni likaJesu Kristu namandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
Baningi abaholi, abaqokwe ebandleni futhi abaneziqu ezihlaba umxhwele kakhulu phambi kwamagama abo futhi babhale izincwadi eziningi ngakho-ke bathole ukuhlonishwa nokwesaba kubantu., kuyilapho bengamazi mathupha uJesu Kristu futhi bengenawo uMoya oNgcwele.
Bayayazi imibhalo eseBhayibhelini futhi banolwazi oluningi ngekhanda, ngoba iphepha, ibizo(s) nezincwadi ziyakufakazela lokho, Kepha kunjalo. Ngenxa yalokho, abaningi bakhukhumele futhi bayaziqhenya futhi baziphakamisile ngaphezu kwabanye futhi bahamba ngokwesaba abantu.
Yingakho abantu abaningi bebheka uJesu njengongathembekile futhi bamfulathela. Ngoba kwakungubani uJesu waseNazaretha? UJesu wayeyindodana yombazi, abangayanga ekolishi, wayengenazo iziqu futhi engenazo iziqu. Ngakho-ke uJesu wayengenakukwazi ukwenza izimangaliso eziningi edolobheni lakubo.
Isizathu, ukuthi uJesu wayengakwazi ukwenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi kwakungengenxa yokuntuleka kwamandla noma uMoya oNgcwele. Kodwa isizathu sasiwukuthi, ukuthi abantu babengamboni uJesu njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu, Umprofethi, kanye noKristu, kodwa babona uJesu njengendodana yombazi, ababehlala eduze futhi ababebabone sebekhulile.
Ngakho-ke abantu abaningi, abaswelayo baya kuye. Kodwa labo, owaya kuJesu ukuze athole usizo, bakhululwa futhi baphulukiswa nguJesu (Funda futhi: ‘Kungani uJesu engakwazi ukwenza izimangaliso eziningi edolobheni lakubo?')
Uthini uJesu ngesithelo sababhali nabaFarisi?
Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu abonakale esiteji, UJohn uvele esiteji. uJohane uMbhapathizi walungisa indlela Ukufika kukaJesu. Wahamba phambi kukaJesu futhi wabiza abantu ukuphenduka kanye nokubeka isono, ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu wawususondele.
Lapho abaFarisi nabaSadusi beza embhapathizweni, UJohane wababiza ngokuthi isizukulwane sezinyoka. Ngoba abazange baveze izithelo ezihlangabezana nokuphenduka.
UJohane wema enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu hhayi ekukhonzeni abantu ngakho-ke akazange akhulume lokho abantu ababefuna ukukuzwa, kodwa wakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu. UJohane wabhekana nalezi (ezenkolo) abaholi bakhulume amazwi anzima. Wabatshela, ukuthi uma bengatheli izithelo ezinhle, babeyoba njengesihlahla, engatheli isithelo esihle, yagawulelwa phansi, yaphonswa emlilweni (Mathewu 3:1-11, Luka 3:7-9).
UJohane wakhuluma amazwi afanayo nalawo ashiwo uJesu. Ngoba lapho uJesu efika, Wakhuluma nabantu ngesango eliwumngcingo nangendlela ewumngcingo, lokho kwakuyoholela ekuphileni okuphakade nasesangweni elibanzi, lokho kwakuyoholela ekubhujisweni.
UJesu wabhekana futhi wabaxwayisa abantu abaprofethi bamanga, ababeza bembethe izimvu, kodwa ngaphakathi beyizimpisi eziphangayo. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokwehlukanisa abaprofethi beqiniso bakaNkulunkulu kubaprofethi bamanga bakadeveli kwakuwukubheka isithelo, abawakhiphayo. Njengoba isihlahla esihle singethele izithelo ezimbi, nomuthi omubi ungethele izithelo ezinhle.
Yonke imithi, okungatheli izithelo ezinhle kungagawulelwa phansi, kuphonswe emlilweni (Mathewu 7:13-20, Luka 6:43-45)
Abapristi nabaFarisi abazange bathele isithelo soMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngakho uJesu wababikezela, ukuthi uMbuso kaNkulunkulu uzathathwa kubo unikwe abantu, owayezaveza isithelo soMbuso kaNkulunkulu (Mathewu 21:43-46)
Kulesi sikhathi, kukhona nabaholi abaningi, abangazimisele ukuzithoba kuNkulunkulu futhi bamlalele. Abalandeli iZwi noMoya futhi abakuthwali isithelo sikaMoya. Kodwa bangabenyama futhi balandela inyama yabo futhi bathela isithelo senyama. Abaphili ngcwele (Ukuhlukaniswa Emhlabeni Phakazwa KuNkulunkulu) futhi ungenzi imisebenzi yokulunga. Kodwa bangabezwe futhi benza imisebenzi yokungalungi.
Nakuba beqokwa ehhovisi ebandleni futhi bafunde iBhayibheli futhi benze ngobungcwele phambi kwamanye amakholwa, isonto lonke benza njengezwe futhi bagcwalise izingqondo zabo ngezinto zezwe. Abaningi bahamba ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu esonweni futhi baphikelele esonweni futhi benqaba ukuphenduka.
Ababhali nabaFarisi bavala umbuso wezulu
Kodwa maye kini!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngoba livalela abantu umbuso wezulu: ngoba aningeni nina, futhi ningabavumeli abangenayo ukuba bangene (Mathewu 23:13).
Ababhali nabaFarisi babengazinikele kuNkulunkulu futhi bengayazi nentando kaNkulunkulu noMbuso weZulu.. Babehlezi ezihlalweni zobukhosi bempilo yabo futhi baphila ngokwentando yabo ngokwenyama. Abazange bangene embusweni weZulu futhi abavumelanga abantu ukuthi bangene embusweni weZulu, kodwa babavalela umbuso wezulu, ukuze kungangeni muntu.
Kulesi sikhathi, baningi abaholi, abamisiwe ebandleni kodwa abangekho azalwe kabusha futhi kabangenanga embusweni weZulu.
Abakasuswa embusweni wobumnyama bayiswe embusweni weZulu. Ngakho-ke basengabombuso wobumnyama (umbuso wezwe).
Bangabenyama futhi bavela embusweni wobumnyama, bavusa amakholwa ngezimfundiso zabo zenyama, eziphuma emiqondweni yabo yenyama kanye nokuhlakanipha nolwazi lwezwe. Ngenxa yalokho, bavala umnyango woMbuso weZulu kubantu abaningi.
Izimfundiso zabo ziqinisa inyama yabantu futhi zilambele umoya wabantu. Esikhundleni sokuthela izithelo zikaMoya, bathela izithelo zenyama futhi ngenxa yalokho ibandla ligcwele ukungcola; isono nokungalungi.
Abaxwayisi abantu futhi ababizi abantu ekuphendukeni futhi basuse isono. Abashumayeli wabethela uKristu, ukuzalwa kabusha nokungcweliswa, ukuze abantu -londoloziweyo futhi bangene embusweni weZulu futhi bahlale embusweni weZulu.
Kunalokho, bavumela abantu ukuba baphile esonweni futhi bashumayele amanga, okuvimbela abantu ukungena embusweni weZulu ngomnyango. Esikhundleni sokuholela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ekuphileni okuphakade, baholela abantu esihogweni (Funda futhi: ‘Abafundisi abaningi bahola izimvu kwalasha’)
Uthini uJesu ngababhali nabaFarisi nokusebenzisa kabi isikhundla sabo?
Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngoba nidla abafelokazi’ izindlu, futhi ngokuzenzisa wenze umthandazo omude: ngakho-ke niyothola ukulahlwa okukhulu (Mathewu 23:14)
Ababhali nabaFarisi babethanda imali futhi behahela inzuzo. Basebenzisa kabi isikhundla sabo nesikhundla sabo futhi basebenzisa ukuzenzisa okungcwele ukuze babambe impahla yomfelokazi.
Futhi, kulesi sikhathi akukho okuningi okushintshile. Abaholi abaningi bathanda imali futhi bahahela inzuzo futhi baxhaphaza uMbuso kaNkulunkulu nezikhundla zabo ukuze bathole abakufunayo, okuyimali yombuso wabo.
Abanye bathi ngokuzithoba, ukuthi awukwazi ukuvuna ngaphambi kokuhlwanyela. Ngakho-ke kufanele uqale uhlwanyele imali ukuze uthole umkhuleko, impumelelo, ukuphulukisa, isibusiso, isipho nokunye.
Abanye bakhuthaza futhi bathengise zonke izinhlobo zezinto, abalamandla kaNkulunkulu, njengocezu lwedwala likaJesu’ ithuna, amafutha okugcoba, amanzi afakwe imisebe noma ezinye izinto ezikhanyiswe njalo njalo. Ngeshwa, amakholwa amaningi enyama ayawakholelwa amanga awo futhi achitha imali eningi kulobu buthakathi.
Uthini uJesu ngokuba ngabafundi bababhali nabaFarisi?
Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngoba nizungeza ulwandle nomhlaba ukwenza umproselithe oyedwa, nalapho esenziwe, nimenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili kunani (Mathewu 23:15).
Ababhali nabaFarisi bazama ukwenza umproselithe oyedwa. Lapho bethola eyodwa, basebemfundisa umproselithe, bamenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili, kunalokho ababeyikho.
Kulesi sikhathi, kukhona abaholi, abenza amaproselithe nabalandeli babo, esikhundleni samaproselithe nabalandeli bakaJesu Kristu.
Bazifundisa ngokuhlakanipha kwenyama nolwazi, ezithola ingxenye enkulu kwezazo (okungaphezu kwemvelo) isipiliyoni kanye nengqondo yenyama esikhundleni seZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Impumelelo nengcebo nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso sekuphenduke isizinda neZwi seliphushelwe eceleni.
Abawondli amakholwa ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi abawaholeli ohlelweni lokungcweliswa, ukuze bona alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka umuntu omusha. Kunalokho, bazondla ngokuhlakanipha kwabo kwenyama nolwazi futhi bazifundise izindlela zenyama, imfundo, kanye namafomula ukuze uphumelele, abacebile futhi benza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso.
Abaningi abanciki kuNkulunkulu futhi abazenzi izinto ebuhlotsheni babo noJesu Kristu, kodwa bathembele emandleni abo nasekukhulumeni kwabo (amafomula).
Izikhathi eziningi izimpilo zabo zihlala zifana futhi bahlala beyindalo endala, ohamba ngokwenyama. Okuwukuphela kwento evame ukushintsha ukuthi eduze kwempilo yabo evamile, benza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, njengokuprofetha, bakhipha amademoni, baphulukise abagulayo. Kodwa akudingeki ukuthi uzalwe kabusha, ukwenza lezizinto (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe kufanele uzalwe ngokusha ukuze uhambe ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo?').
Kodwa bangaki kubo abangamadodana kaNkulunkulu ngempela futhi bahamba ekulungeni ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu? Bangaki abanobudlelwane bomuntu siqu noJesu Kristu futhi bachitha isikhathi emthandazweni naseZwini Naye kanye noYise? Bangaki kubo abaphuma benza imisebenzi yokudumisa uJesu nokukhazimulisa uBaba noma babonwe ngabantu baziphakamise bazidumise.?
Isipho sibaluleke kakhulu kunoMuphi
Maye kuwe!, nina baholi abayizimpumputhe, abathi, Ofunga ngethempeli, akulutho; kodwa loba ngubani ofunga ngegolide lethempeli, ulomlandu! Ziwula nezimpumputhe: ngoba yikuphi okukhulu, igolide, noma ithempeli elingcwelisa igolide? Na-, Ofunga ngelathi, akulutho; kodwa loba ngubani ofunga ngesipho esiphezu kwalo, unecala. Ziwula nezimpumputhe: ngoba yikuphi okukhulu, isipho, noma i-altare elingcwelisa umnikelo? Ngakho-ke ofunga i-altare, efunga ngakho, nangazo zonke izinto ezikuwo. Futhi ofunga ngethempeli, efunga ngakho, nangalowo ohlala kulo. Nalowo ofunga izulu, ufunga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, nangaye ohlezi phezu kwalo (Mathewu 23:16-22).
Nakuba abantu babebabheka ababhali nabaFarisi futhi bebabheka njengabantu abafundile nabanekhono, owayenakho konke ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi, kanye nemibono kaNkulunkulu, UJesu wababheka ngendlela ehlukile. Naphezu kwalo lonke ulwazi lwabo lwekhanda, UJesu wababiza ngokuthi iziwula, abaqondisi abayizimpumputhe nabayizimpumputhe.
Babengawuqondi uMbuso weZulu nokulunga nobungcwele bukaNkulunkulu. Njengoba babebheka isipho esibaluleke kakhulu kunoMuphi.
Kulesi sikhathi, kukhona nabaholi abaningi, abagxile kakhulu esiphweni(s) kunaphezu koMuphi. Bazazisa kakhulu izipho, kunoNkulunkulu uBaba, UJesu Kristu; iZwi noMoya oNgcwele.
Uthini uJesu ngababhali nabaFarisi nangomthetho?
Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngokuba nikhokha okweshumi kweminti, neanise, nekhumini, futhi bayekele izindaba ezinzima zomthetho, isahlulelo, ububele, nokholo: lokhu benifanele nikwenze, nokungashiyi okunye kungakenziwa. Nina baholi abayizimpumputhe, elihluza insensane, agwinye ikamela (Mat 23:22-24).
Nakuba ababhali nabaFarisi babekhokha imali yabo okweshumi, bageja ingqikithi nokulunga komthetho. Ngakho-ke, abazange bayigcine imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, ezazibalulekile kuNkulunkulu. Abazange baphile ngokuvumelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi abahambanga ngokulalela Yena ngentando Yakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, abazange baqaphele futhi bavume uJesu njengoKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Ukulalela uNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe kubaluleke kakhulu kuNkulunkulu kunomhlatshelo (i.e. 1 Samuweli 15:22, Izaga 21:3)
Kulesi sikhathi, kukhona nabaholi abaningi, abangahambi entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi abagcina futhi benze izimiso nemikhuba njengengxenye yesiko kanye/noma phambi kwabantu.. Abazi lutho Imfihlo Yomthetho futhi ungabuvumi ubungcwele nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba uma bethanda, izimpilo zabo bezizohluka futhi bebengeke babekezelele futhi bamukele izono nobubi ebandleni. Kunalokho, babezosizonda isono futhi babeyosusa izono nobubi, NjengoNkulunkulu, uJesu, noMoya oNgcwele.
Uthini uJesu ngenhliziyo nangemvelo yababhali nabaFarisi?
Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngokuba nihlanza ingaphandle lendebe nesitsha, kodwa ngaphakathi bagcwele ukuphanga kanye lokuqila. MFarisi oyimpumputhe, hlambulula kuqala okuphakathi kwendebe lesitsha, ukuze ingaphandle lazo lihlanzeke. Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngokuba nifana namathuna acakiwe, ezibonakala zizinhle ngempela ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi zigcwele amathambo abafileyo, lakukho konke ukungcola. Kanjalo nani ngaphandle nibonakala kubantu nilungile, kodwa ngaphakathi nigcwele ukuzenzisa nobubi (Mathewu 23:25-28).
Njengoba abantu babengabenyama futhi babebuswa ingqondo, babona ukubonakala kwangaphandle kwababhali nabaFarisi kuphela. Babona ukuziphatha kwabo kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu futhi bezwa amazwi abo angcwele kanye nemithandazo futhi ngenxa yalokho babesaba abaholi babantu.
Nokho UJesu weza enyameni, UJesu wayengeyena owenyama kodwa wayengokomoya.
UJesu akazange alandele izinzwa Zakhe ngakho-ke akazange aholwe yilokho Akubona noma Akuzwa, kepha uJesu wahamba emva kukaMoya, eholwa yilokho uMoya oNgcwele amveza khona (Isaya 11:1-3)
UJesu wabona izinhliziyo zabo zangempela nesimo sabo sangempela. UJesu wabona imisebenzi yabo, ababekwenza ekusithekeni futhi kwakufihlakele emehlweni omuntu (ikhehla). Kodwa imisebenzi yabo yayingafihlwanga phambi kukaMoya oNgcwele.
UMoya oNgcwele wembula imisebenzi yabo nemisebenzi yabo yafakaza ukuthi bangobani, abamlalelayo, ababeholwa nguye futhi bengabakabani.
Uthini uJesu ngokuziphatha kwababhali nabaFarisi mayelana nabaprofethi nabalungileyo?
Maye kuwe!, ababhali labaFarisi, abazenzileki! ngoba lakha amangcwaba abaprofethi, futhi bahlobise amathuna abalungileyo, Bese usho, Ukube sasikhona emihleni yawobaba, besingeke sihlanganyele nabo egazini labaprofethi. Ngakho-ke ningofakazi benu, ukuthi ningamadodana alabo ababulala abaprofethi. gcwalisani-ke isilinganiso sawoyihlo. Yezinyoka, nina nzalo yezinyoka, ningakubalekela kanjani ukulahlwa kwesihogo? Ngalokho, bheka, Ngithumela abaprofethi kini, namadoda ahlakaniphileyo, lababhali: abanye kubo niyakubabulala, nibabethele; abanye babo niyakubashaya emasinagogeni enu, futhi nizingele emzini ngomuzi: Ukuze kufike phezu kwakho lonke igazi elilungile elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya, enambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Konke lokhu kuyakufika phezu kwalesi sizukulwane (Mathewu 23:29-36).
Kulesi sikhathi, abaprofethi basendulo, abaphostoli, abafel’ ukholo, obaba besonto, nabanye abashumayeli abadumile, owadlula emhlabeni, bayaphakanyiswa, bayadunyiswa, kuyilapho imfundiso yabo ilahlwa yimfundiso nokuphila kwabaholi bamanje.
Labo, abathunywe nguNkulunkulu futhi bashumayele amazwi Akhe, ngokuvamile awamukelwa, kodwa kunalokho bayashushiswa futhi benqatshwa yiBandla. Bacabanga ukuthi badumisa uNkulunkulu ngokubalahla, kodwa eqinisweni, bakhonza usathane, ngokubeka imfundiso yomuntu ngaphezu kwemfundiso kaNkulunkulu futhi ngalokho uvumele futhi wamukele isono eBandleni.
Ukufana phakathi kwabaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu ngaleso sikhathi
Njengazo zonke (ezenkolo) abaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu babebabi, akubona bonke abaholi beBandla ababi. Kodwa ngeshwa, iningi labaholi bebandla alizithobi kuNkulunkulu futhi alilaleli iZwi laKhe, njengababhali nabaFarisi. Abaholwa yiZwi noMoya oNgcwele, kodwa bathembele kubo; ikhono nobuhlakani babo futhi baholwa yilokho abadlule kukho, okutholakele, Imibono, ukuhlakanipha, nolwazi futhi bazenzele eyabo imithetho neziqondiso.
Njengababhali nabaFarisi, abaningi banolwazi oluningi lwekhanda lwezwi elibhaliwe kanye nemiyalelo, kodwa bageja umlayezo weqiniso, ukulunga, kanye nobudlelwano bokuhlangenwe nakho neZwi eliphilayo; UJesu Kristu.
Abaningi abakho ngokomoya, kodwa abenyama futhi banomoya wezwe. Ngakho-ke, abalaleli futhi abaqotho kuJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi ningakwenqabi ukuhlakanipha nolwazi lwezwe. Kodwa bathembekile emhlabeni futhi bayayekethisa futhi bakhe amabhuloho nomhlaba. Balungisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu ezimfundisweni zezwe nasezinkanukweni nasezifisweni zomuntu omdala wenyama futhi balile iZwi elivela ebandleni. (Funda futhi: ‘UJesu waxoshwa eBandleni‘).
- Bakhulisa abantwana bakaNkulunkulu babe ngabantwana bakaSathane
- Bahola abantu bakaNkulunkulu hhayi ezulwini, kodwa esihogweni
- Abakwazi ukufeza izidingo zabantu, kodwa bababhekisa emhlabeni; indawo kadeveli nombuso wobumnyama
