Abantu bangasho futhi bathembise zonke izinhlobo zezinto, Kuze kuphakama isimo, lapho amazwi abo nezithembiso abazenzayo azisakhunjulwa. Lokhu kwenzeka empilweni kaSimoni Peter, Indoda eyayithanda uJesu futhi ikhokhele intengo yothando lwayo. Ngoba ukuthanda uJesu nokulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke!
Ubizo lukaSimoni Petru
Ngemuva kukaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, wabhapathizwa emanzini futhi wamukela uMoya oNgcwele futhi waholwa nguMoya ehlane, Ukulingwa nguDeveli izinsuku ezingamashumi amane futhi wanqoba uDeveli, UJesu waya ukuyoshumayela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi abize abantu ukuba baphenduke. Endleleni, UJesu wahlangana nabesilisa abayishumi nambili, Ngubani uJezus abize ukumlandela. Lawa madoda ayishumi nambili aphendula ucingo lwakhe, wanquma ukumlandela, waba abafundi bakhe abayishumi nambili.
USimoni Petru wayengomunye wabafundi abayishumi nambili, Ngubani ophendule ucingo lukaJesu futhi ayeke umsebenzi wakhe, futhi washiya konke ngemuva ukulandela uJesu.
UPhetro walandela uJesu, Lapho uJesu ehamba khona futhi wayengufakazi kaJesu Kristu nombuso kaNkulunkulu uJesu ashumayela.
USimoni Petru nabanye abafundi abagcinanga ngoFakazi BakaJehova kuphela’ Impilo namagama, okwakushumayela uJesu ngegunya, Kepha futhi babengoFakazi bezibonakaliso eziningi nezimangaliso ezalandela uJesu.
UJesu wayenguthisha wabo futhi baphila kakhulu kuJesu futhi babebone kangako, ukuthi ngesikhathi esithile, UJesu wathumela abafundi bakhe, wabanika amandla (isiphathimandla) phezu kwebutho lonke lesitha futhi wabayala ukuba bashumayele umyalezo ofanayo nokwenza imisebenzi efanayo.
Ngakho-ke abafundi bakaJesu bahamba, NjengoJesu wahamba, futhi washumayela futhi waletha umbuso kaNkulunkulu kulabo, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli, ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezilandela, njengoJesu.
Ukuvuma kukaPeter
Lapho uJesu efika ogwini lwaseKhesariya Filippi, Wabuza abafundi bakhe, ethi, Abantu bathi ngingubani indodana yomuntu am? Bathi, Abanye bathi unguJohane uMbhabhathizi: -nye, Ukhethe; nabanye, UJeremiya, noma omunye wabaprofethi. Uthi kubo, Kepha nithi ngingubani? USimoni Petru waphendula wathi, UnguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye, Ubusisiwe wena, USimon Barjona: ngoba inyama negazi akukuvezi kuwe., Kepha ubaba osezulwini. Futhi ngithi nakuwe, Ukuthi wena unguPeter, naphezu kwalelidwala ngizokwakha isonto lami; amasango esihogo ngeke anqobe lokho. Ngizokunika okhiye bombuso wezulu: Futhi konke okufanele ukukubopha emhlabeni kuyoboshwa ezulwini: Futhi noma yini oyoyikhulula emhlabeni iyakhululwa ezulwini. Wabe eseyala abafundi bakhe ukuthi ngeke batshele muntu ukuthi nguJesu Kristu (Mathewu 16:13-20)
Ngemva kwesikhashana, UJesu wabuza abafundi bakhe, "Bathi bani abantu abathi mina ndodana yomuntu? Abafundi bakhe baphendula, Ukuthi abanye bathi uJesu nguJohane uMbhabhathizi, nabanye abakwa-Elija nokunye uJeremiya noma omunye wabaprofethi. Ngemuva kwaloko Jesu wababuza 'Kepha uthini ukuthi nginguye?'UPhetro waphendula uJesu wathi, "UnguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo!”
UJesu watshela uPhetro, ukuthi wabusiswa njengoba inyama negazi bekungamembulelanga ukuthi wayenguKristu, Kepha uyise, Ngubani osezulwini.
UJesu wakwethembisa ukuthi kuPhetro nobufakazi bakhe, UJesu wayezokwakha isonto lakhe nokuthi amasango esihogo ngeke anqobe lokho. UJesu wayezonikeza okhiye bombuso wezulu futhi noma yini ayezoyibophayo izoboshwa ezulwini futhi noma yini ayeyoyikhulula emhlabeni, bekungakhululwa ezulwini (Funda futhi: ‘Amasango esihogo ngeke anqobe isonto lami', ‘Wayesho ukuthini uJesu ngezinkinobho zombuso wezulu?'Futhi'Wayesho ukuthini uJesu ngokubopha nokukhulula?')
UJesu wayala abafundi bakhe ukuba bangatsheli muntu ukuthi uJesu wayengubani (futhi kunjalo) uKristu (Mathewu 16:20, Maka 8:30)
Abafundi balalela amazwi kaJesu futhi bavimba imilomo yabo kwaze kwaba isikhathi sokufika kwesikhathi, Ukuthi bavunyelwe ukuvula imilomo yabo bashumayele uJesu Kristu, okokuqala endlini yakwa-Israyeli kwabe sekufika kwabezizwe.
"Thola ngemuva kwami, uSathane; Ungunile kimi!”
Kusukela kuleso sikhathi, kwaphela uJesu watshengisa kubafundi bakhe, ukuthi kufanele aye kanjani eJerusalema, Futhi bahlupheke izinto eziningi zabadala nabapristi abakhulu nababhali, futhi abulawe, futhi uphakanyiswe futhi ngosuku lwesithathu. Ngemuva kwabe uPhetro wamthatha, waqala ukumkhuza, ethi, Yiba kude nawe, Nkosi: Lokhu akuyikuba kuwe. Kepha waphenduka, wathi kuPhetro, Thola ngemuva kwami, USathane: Ungunile kimi: Ngoba awuyindilinga hhayi izinto ezingaba nguNkulunkulu, kepha lezo ezabantu (Mathewu 16:21-23)
INKOSI yathi, Simoni, Simoni, bheka, USathane Ufisa Ukuba Nawe, ukuze akwenze okukhohlakele njengokolweni: Kepha ngikukhulekele wena, Ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungahluleki: futhi lapho uguquliwe, Qinisa abafowenu. Wayesethi kuye, Nkosi, Ngikulungele ukuhamba nawe, bobabili ejele, nokufa. Wathi, Ngiyakutshela, UPetru, Iqhude ngeke likhale ngalolu suku, Ngaphambi kokuthi uphike umlando kaThutha ukuthi uyangazi (Luka 22:31-34)
Yize uPhetro wayenguye, Ngubani owafakazela ukuthi uJesu wayenguKristu futhi uJesu athembisa ukuthi uzokwakha ibandla lakhe kuPetro nobufakazi bakhe, Kwakunezikhathi ezahlukahlukene, Lapho uPhetro eholwa yimizwa yakhe nemizwa yakhe futhi ekugcineni wamphika uJesu Kristu.
UDeveli futhi wezwa ukuthi uJesu wayezokwakha ibandla lakhe kuPeter nasebufakazini bakhe futhi ngenxa yalokho kwathola iso lakhe likaDepene noPetro futhi avikele uJesu ukuba akhiphe isonto lakhe kuPetro nobufakazi bakhe.
Umzuzu wokuqala wafika ngqo ngemuva kobufakazi bukaPhetro lapho uJesu ekhuluma ngokuhlupheka kwakhe, ukufa, Futhi uvuko noPhetro babefuna ukuvimba uJesu ukuthi ahambele indlela yesiphambano.
Ngokusho kwenyama, Amagama kaPeter abukeka enobuhlakani, ububele, futhi nothando, Kepha njengoba uJesu ayengeyona eyenyama kepha ngokomoya, UJesu wabona imisebenzi yesitha wamkhuza ngokuthi, “Thola ngemuva kwami, uSathane: Ungunile kimi: Ngoba awuyindilinga hhayi izinto ezingaba nguNkulunkulu, kepha lezo ezabantu”.
Ukwenqatshwa kukaPeter
Khona uJesu wathi kubo, Nonke niyakukhubeka ngaMi ngalobu busuku: ngoba kulotshiwe, Ngizoshaya uMelusi, nezimvu zomhlambi ziyohlakazwa. Kepha ngemuva kokuthi ngivukile futhi, Ngizohamba phambi kwakho ngiye eGalile. UPhetro waphendula wathi kuye kwathi kuye, Yize bonke abantu bayokhubeka ngenxa yakho, nokho angisoze ngakhubeka. UJesu wathi kuye, Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe, Ukuthi ngalobu busuku, Ngaphambi kweqhude liqhume, uzongiphika kathathu. UPhetro wathi kuye, Noma kufanele ngife nawe, nokho angizukukuphika. Ngokufanayo futhi basho bonke abafundi (Mathewu 26:31-35)
Kwabe sekufika umzuzu, ukuthi uPetru waphika uJesu kaJesu, Ngenkathi uPhetro eshilo ngaphambi kokuthi wayengeke aphike uJesu Kristu. Kodwa-ke lokho okulotshwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu kuzokwenzeka, Akunandaba ukuthi abantu bathini.
UJesu wayekhulume amazwi angokwesiprofetho kaNkulunkulu, njengoba kubhaliwe eZwini, Kepha uPhetro wenqaba ukukholwa futhi wamukele amazwi kaNkulunkulu, eyakhulunywa nguJesu, futhi wenqaba amazwi kaJesu ngokusho ukuthi wayengeke akhubeke kuye.
Kepha uJesu wayazi isizukulwane sendoda endala, Ngubani owenyama, futhi wayazi kahle ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngakho-ke uJesu waprofeta ukuthi uPhetro wayengeke amphike kanye, kodwa kathathu.
Kepha uPhetro akazange akholwe futhi amazwi kaJesu, kepha waphikisana nalo, Ngokusho ukuthi yize wayezothunjwa athunjwe ejele futhi kwadingeka afe naye, UPhetro wayengeke aphike uJesu. Futhi abanye abafundi bakhuluma amagama afanayo noPhetro.
Nokho, UNkulunkulu ukhuluma iqiniso neZwi likaNkulunkulu liyisiphathimandla esiphakeme kakhulu naphezu kwentando yomuntu.
Abafundi, ababeseyindalo yakudala, bengingafuni ukuthi uJesu ahambe ngendlela yesiphambano futhi afe. Ngoba ingqondo yenyama kanye nohlobo lwendoda endala kungubutha kuNkulunkulu futhi abakwazi ukuzithoba emazwini nasentandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, Abafundi bavuma ukuthi ngeke baphike uJesu, Akunandaba noma yini, nokho, Inyama ibuthakathaka.
Ngoba njengoba nje noJesu ayekhulumile, Bonke abafundi bakhe bakhubeka kuye babaleka, Lapho uJesu ethunjiwe.
Futhi njengoba nje uJesu ayeprofethile, UPeter waphika uJesu kaJesu ngokusho ukuthi akamazi uJesu. Nangamazwi akhe nokuvuma kwakhe ukuvuma kwakhe, UPhetro wahlukaniswa noJesu futhi wayekhona (okwesikhashana) Akuseyena Umfundi Wakhe.
Ngoba ngemuva kokuba uJesu evusiwe kwabafileyo futhi uJesu wayala uMariya ukuba atshele abafundi bakhe, UJesu akazange athi kuMariya 'abafundi bakhe', Kepha uJesu wathi, 'Abafundi Bakhe noPeter' (Maka 16:7).
Umkhuleko kaJesu kuPeter
INKOSI yathi, Simoni, Simoni, bheka, USathane Ufisa Ukuba Nawe, ukuze akwenze okukhohlakele njengokolweni: Kepha ngikukhulekele wena, Ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungahluleki: futhi lapho uguquliwe, Qinisa abafowenu (Luka 22:31-32)
Ngenhlanhla, UPhetro wahlukaniswa kuphela noJesu isikhathi esifushane. Lokhu kungenxa yomthandazo kaJesu kuPeter. UJesu wabona imisebenzi kaDeveli futhi wabona ukuthi uDeveli wayefisa ukuba noPhetro, Kepha uJesu wayethandaze ukuthi ukholo lukaPhetro lungeke lwehluleke nokuthi kwathi lapho uPhetro ezoguqulwa wayezoqinisa abafowabo.
UPetru, indoda eyayimthanda uJesu
Ngakho-ke lapho sebedle, UJesu wathi kuSimoni Petru, Simoni, indodana kaJonas, Ungithande kakhulu kunale? Wathi kuye kuye, Yebo, Nkosi; Uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye kuye, Yondla amawundlu ami. Uthi kuye futhi ngokwesibili, Simoni, indodana kaJonas, Uthanda wena? Wathi kuye kuye, Yebo, Nkosi; Uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye kuye, Yondla izimvu zami. Uthi kuye okwesithathu, Simoni, indodana kaJonas, Uthanda wena? UPhetro wadabukisa ngoba wathi kuye ngokwesithathu, Uthanda wena? Wayesethi kuye, Nkosi, Uyazazi zonke izinto; Uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. uJesu wathi kuye, Yondla izimvu zami. Ngiqinisile, ngempela, ngithi kuwe, Lapho usumncane, Uzibopha wena, futhi wahamba lapho uthandana khona: Kepha lapho usemdala, Uyolulela izandla zakho, omunye uzokubhince, futhi uthwale ngawela ngaphansi. Lokhu wakukhuluma, Ukufanekisa Ngokufa Okufanele Akhazimulise uNkulunkulu. Lapho esekhulumile lokhu, Wathi kuye kuye, Ngilandele (UJohane 21:15-19)
Lapho uJesu ebuza uSimoni Pitrosi uma emthanda ngaphezu kwabanye, UPeter waphendula, “yebo Nkosi, Uyakwazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.”
UJesu akazange acele uPhetro kanye uma emthanda, kodwa kathathu, Kusukela uSimon Petru ephikile ukuthi uJesu waphika.
Ngakho-ke, uPetru waphenduka ngokuvuma uthando lwakhe ngoJesu kathathu. Lapho kwenziwa ukuvuma kukaPhetro, UPhetro wabuyiselwa futhi waba umfundi kaJesu futhi.
Ngaphandle kwesithembiso uJesu ayezokwakha ibandla lakhe kuPeter nobufakazi bakhe, UJesu wayala uPhetro ukuba asondle amawundlu akhe futhi azondle izimvu zakhe noJesu wakwazisa ngokufa kukaPetru.
Leyo kwakuyintengo, UPhetro wayezokhokhela ukulandela uJesu nangokubonisa umhlaba ukuthi wayemthanda uJesu.
UPhetro wakudala noPetru omusha
Lapho uPhetro esemdala, UPhetro waholwa yinyama yakhe (Oh. izinzwa zakhe, imizwa, nemizwelo) futhi wathonywa udeveli amahlandla amaningi, futhi ekugcineni wakuphika uJesu kathathu. Kepha lapho uPhetro egcwala umoya ongcwele futhi waba yindalo entsha futhi waholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, konke ukungabaza, uvalo, nokwesaba abantu bekungasekho.
UPitrosi bekangasaholwa umoya wokwesaba, kodwa amandla, uthando, kanye nengqondo ehluzekile. Ngenxa yalokho, UPhetro wasukuma ngesibindi phambi kwendlu yakwa-Israyeli futhi wafakaza ngoJesu Kristu futhi wabhekana nalabo, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli, Ngezono zabo nalokho ababekwenzile kuJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, wababizela ekuphendukeni.
Ngenxa yesibindi sikaPhetro nobufakazi bakhe, ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, 3000 Imiphefumulo yendlu yakwa-Israyeli yaphenduka futhi yabhapathizwa emanzini futhi yamukela uMoya oNgcwele.
UPhetro wafakazela ngamazwi nangezenzo zakhe ukuthi wayemthanda uJesu
UPetru, owagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele awuzange uhlale uvaliwe umlomo wakhe futhi akazange athule, Kepha wakhuluma ngesibindi kubabusi babantu nakumalunga akwa-Israyeli. UPhetro wayebeke phansi inyama yakhe futhi wafela '’ futhi wayengenamahloni ngevangeli likaJesu Kristu, Noma amazwi akhe eholele ekudingisweni nasekushushisweni.
Ngisho nalapho uPhetro nabanye abaphostoli bathunjwa babunjwa bezokwenziwa umkhandlu lapho babeyalwa khona ngumpristi ophakeme ukuba angafundisi egameni likaJesu futhi asakaze imfundiso yabo, UPhetro nabanye abaphostoli bebengeke bathule futhi bengesabi.
Abazange banikeze futhi abashongo, “kulungile, Sizogcina imilomo yethu ivaliwe futhi ilungise imfundiso yethu”, njengoba abaholi abaningi besonto benza namuhla, futhi uguqule iBhayibheli nemfundiso emphakathini futhi uvumelane nezwe futhi ushumayele ivangeli elingenamandla
Kepha uPhetro nabaphostoli babengesasenyama kepha bangokomoya futhi bahlala bethembekile emazwini nemiyalo kaJesu futhi baphendula umpristi ophakeme ukuthi kufanele balalele uNkulunkulu kunokuba babe namadoda (IzEnzo 3-5)
Konke lokhu kuthathwe othandweni lukaPhetro ngeNkosi yakhe. UPhetro wakhombisa ukuthi uyamthanda iNkosi yakhe ngokulalela kwakhe amazwi kaJesu nomyalo wakhe futhi enze lokho uJesu ayekuyale ukukwenza nokulandela uJesu.
UPitrosi wakhombisa ukuthi uyamthanda uJesu ngamazwi akhe, isebenza, Ekugcineni Ukufa Kwakhe, uPeter uPeter wakhazimulisa uZimu ngaphi, Njengoba nje uJesu ayeprofethile.
Nokho, Kube nesikhathi esifushane, Lapho uPhetro eholwa ngokwesaba umuntu futhi wakhombisa ukuziphatha kabi, Kepha uPawulu wabhekana naye wakhuza uPhetro phambi kwabanye (KwabaseGalathiya 2:11-16).
Uyamthanda uJesu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho?
Uthando ngoJesu, Yimuphi uPhetro kanye nabanye abafundi ababoniswa ngamazwi abo futhi bayasebenza, kufanele futhi ibonakale ezimpilweni zamaKristu, abaphendukile ngokholo kuJesu Kristu futhi bazalwa kabusha kuye futhi baba yindalo entsha futhi bangabakhe.
Uma usuphenduke indalo entsha futhi ungokaJesu, Uyakulalela izwi lakhe, umlandele.
Uyakulalela amazwi Akhe futhi ulalele amazwi Akhe nemiyalo yakhe ngakho-ke uyakwenza lokho akuyalile ukuba ukwenze. Noma intando yakhe nemiyalo iya ngokumelene nentando yakho, Njengoba ungasasebenzi, Kepha uKristu uhlala kuwe. Lokho ukukhetha okwenzile, Lapho unquma ukwenza uJesu hhayi kuphela uMsindisi wempilo yakho, Kepha iNkosi yempilo yakho (Funda futhi: ‘Kuthiwani uma intando kaNkulunkulu ingeyona intando yakho?')
Esikhundleni sokugcina umlomo wakho uvaliwe futhi uhlala uthule futhi uvumele konke kube yinkambo yayo futhi ujoyina umhlaba futhi ukhulume amazwi omhlaba nakubantu benyama abakuzungezile futhi bayekethisa uJesu; igama ngqo noma ngokungaqondile, Uyakusukuma ngesibindi uyovula umlomo wakho uvume amazwi kaYise, okuthiwa nguJesu Kristu noMoya oNgcwele kuwe, Futhi fakaza ngoJesu uKristu izwi eliphilayo likaNkulunkulu futhi ubiza abantu ukuba baphenduke futhi basuswe isono, NjengoJesu noPeter Peter, Ngubani owayekhuluma amagama anzima futhi wacasula abantu abaningi. Kepha ungakhubekisa kangcono abantu kunokukhubekisa uJesu Kristu futhi umphika.
Wenza konke lokhu, Ngenxa yothando ngoJesu Kristu. Uma wenza nganoma yisiphi esinye isizathu kunothando ngoJesu nothando ngoYise, Lapho-ke ngeke kukuzuze lutho futhi ungakwazi ukumela ngokukholwa eZwini futhi ubekezelele ukwenqatshwa nokushushiswa, Kepha uyakungabaza amazwi kaNkulunkulu, ukhothame ubumnyama, uyekeni uyeke futhi uphike uJesu izwi.
Usindisiwe ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, Kepha niyohlala isindiswe ngothando lwakho ngoJesu, obonisana ngokulalela imiyalo kaJesu Kristu nokwenza intando kaYise.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
