436 yenziwe ngempelaUJesu washo amazwi abalulekile ngemiBhalo eqenjini labaholi bamaJuda ababemshushisa: “Yona kanye imiBhalo ikhomba kimi.” (Joh. 5,39 NGU). Ngemva kweminyaka, leliqiniso laqinisekiswa ingelosi yeNkosi esimemezelweni: “Ngokuba isigijimi esisiprofethayo uMoya kaNkulunkulu asinikeza sona singumlayezo kaJesu” (IsAmbulo 1)9,10 NGU).

Ngeshwa, abaholi bamaJuda bosuku lukaJesu balishaya indiva iqiniso layo yomibili imibhalo kanye nokuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Esikhundleni salokho, imikhuba yenkolo yethempeli laseJerusalema yayiwumgogodla wentshisekelo kubo ngoba yayinikeza okuhle kwabo. Ngakho balahla uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli emehlweni abo futhi abakwazanga ukubona ukugcwaliseka kweziprofetho kuye nasenkonzweni kaJesu, uMesiya othenjisiwe.

Ithempeli laseJerusalema lalimangalisa ngempela. Isazi-mlando nesazi esingumJuda uFlavius ​​​​Josephus sabhala: “Indawo engaphambili yemabula emhlophe ecwebezelayo ihlotshiswe ngegolide futhi ibukeka ngendlela emangalisayo. Bezwa isiprofetho sikaJesu sokuthi leli thempeli elikhazimulayo, isikhungo sokukhulekela ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala, laliyobhujiswa ngokuphelele. Ukubhujiswa okwakubonisa icebo likaNkulunkulu lokusindisa sonke isintu kuyokwenzeka ngesikhathi esifanele ngaphandle kwaleli thempeli. Yeka ukumangala nokushaqeka okwabangela abantu.

Ngokusobala uJesu akazange ahlatshwe umxhwele ngokukhethekile ngethempeli laseJerusalema, futhi ngesizathu esihle. Wayazi ukuthi inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ayinakudlulwa yinoma yisiphi isakhiwo esenziwe umuntu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikhulu kangakanani. UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuthi ithempeli lalizothathelwa indawo. Ithempeli lalingasayifezi injongo elalakhelwe yona. UJesu wachaza: “Akulotshiwe yini ukuthi: ‘Indlu yami iyakuba yindlu yokukhuleka yezizwe zonke na? Kodwa nina niyenze umhume wabaphangi.” (Marku 11,17 NGU).

Funda futhi lokho iVangeli likaMathewu elikushoyo ngalokhu: “UJesu wasuka ethempelini wayesezomuka. Khona-ke abafundi bakhe beza kuye futhi bambonisa ubuhle bezakhiwo zethempeli. Konke lokhu kuyakuhlaba umxhwele, akunjalo? kusho uJesu. Kodwa ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akuyikushiywa itshe lapha; konke kuyobhujiswa” (Mathewu 2).4,1—2, Luka 21,6 NGU).

Kwakunezikhathi ezimbili lapho uJesu abikezela khona ngokubhujiswa okusondelayo kweJerusalema nethempeli. Isigameko sokuqala kwaba ukungena kwakhe ngokunqoba eJerusalema, lapho abantu babeka izingubo zabo phansi phambi kwakhe. Kwakuyisenzo sokubabaza abantu abasezikhundleni eziphezulu.

Phawula lokho uLuka akushoyo: “Manje njengoba uJesu esondela emzini futhi ewubona ulele phambi kwakhe, wawukhalela wathi, ‘Ukube nje nawe ubuwazi namuhla ukuthi yini eyayiyokulethela ukuthula! Kodwa manje kufihliwe kuwe, wena awuboni. siyeza isikhathi sakho lapho izitha zakho zizakubiyela umduli, zikuvimbezele, zikuvimbele inhlangothi zonke. Bayokubhubhisa, babhidlize abantwana bakho abahlala kuwe, bangashiyi itshe emzini wonke, ngoba awusiqaphelanga isikhathi uNkulunkulu ahlangana ngaso nawe” ( Luka 19,41-44 NGÜ).

Isigameko sesibili lapho uJesu abikezela khona ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema senzeka ngenkathi uJesu eholwa phakathi komuzi eya endaweni ayebethelwe kuyo. Abantu begcwele emigwaqweni, zombili izitha zakhe nabalandeli bakhe abazinikele. UJesu waprofetha ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngomuzi nethempeli nokuthi kuzokwenzekani kubantu ngenxa yokubhujiswa amaRoma.

Siza ufunde lokho uLuka abika ngakho: “Isixuku esikhulu samlandela uJesu, kuhlanganise nabesifazane abaningi ababemkhalela futhi bamkhalela. Kepha uJesu waphendukela kubo, wathi: “Madodakazi aseJerusalema, ningangikhaleli; Zikhaleleni nina nabantwana benu! Ngokuba siyeza isikhathi lapho kuyothiwa: Babusisiwe abesifazane abayizinyumba, abangazalanga; Khona bayakuthi ezintabeni: Welani phezu kwethu; Nasezintabeni, nisimbele.” ( Luka 2 Kor3,27-30 NGÜ).

Siyazi ngomlando ukuthi isiprofetho sikaJesu sagcwaliseka eminyakeni engaba ngu-40 emenyezelwe. Ngo AD 66 kwaba nokuvukela kwamaJuda kwabaseRoma kwathi ngo AD 70 ithempeli ladilizwa, iningi leJerusalema labhujiswa abantu bahlupheka kakhulu. Konke kwenzeke njengoba nje uJesu asho ngokudabuka okukhulu ngakho.

Lapho uJesu ememeza esiphambanweni, “Kufeziwe,” wayengabhekiseli nje kuphela ekuphothulweni komsebenzi Wakhe wokubuyisana wokuhlenga, kodwa futhi wayememezela ukuthi iSivumelwano Esidala (indlela yokuphila nokukhulekela kukaIsrayeli ngokomthetho kaMose. ) yagcwalisa injongo kaNkulunkulu ngayo, yafezwa. Ngokufa kukaJesu, ukuvuka, ukwenyukela ezulwini kanye nokuthumela uMoya oNgcwele, uNkulunkulu ngaphakathi futhi ngoKristu nangoMoya oNgcwele uwuqedile umsebenzi wokubuyisana sonke isintu kuye. Manje kuyenzeka lokho umprofethi uJeremiya akubikezela: “Bheka, isikhathi siyeza, usho uJehova, lapho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda, singabi njengesivumelwano engasenza nendlu yabo. obaba, lapho ngibabamba ngesandla ukubakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, benza isivumelwano abangasigcinanga, noma ngangiyinkosi yabo, usho uJehova; kepha yilesi isivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka-Israyeli emva kwalesi sikhathi, isho iNkosi: ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngiwulobe ezingqondweni zabo, babe ngabantu bami, mina ngibe yibo. uNkulunkulu. Futhi akakho oyofundisa omunye, noma umfowabo, ethi: “Yazini iNkosi,” kodwa bonke bayakungazi, abancane nabakhulu,” isho iNkosi; ngokuba ngiyakubathethelela ububi babo, angisayikusikhumbula nanini isono sabo” (Jeremiya 3).1,31-enye).

Ngamazwi athi “Kufeziwe” uJesu wamemezela izindaba ezinhle ngokumiswa kwesivumelwano esisha. Okudala kudlulile, okusha sekufikile. Isono sabethelwa esiphambanweni futhi umusa kaNkulunkulu ufikile kithi ngesenzo sikaKristu esihlengayo sokubuyisana, sivumela umsebenzi ojulile kaMoya oNgcwele wokuvuselela izinhliziyo nezingqondo zethu. Lolu shintsho lusivumela ukuba sibambe iqhaza esimweni somuntu esivuselelwe ngoJesu Kristu. Lokho okwathenjiswa futhi kwaboniswa ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala kuye kwagcwaliseka ngoKristu esivumelwaneni esisha.

Njengoba uMphostoli uPawulu afundisa, uKristu (isivumelwano esisha esenziwe samuntu) wasifeza lokho umthetho kaMose (iSivumelwano Esidala) owawungeke ukufeze futhi okwakungafanele ukukufeza. “Yisiphi isiphetho okufanele sifinyelele kuso kulokhu? Abantu abangewona amaJuda baye kwathiwa balungile nguNkulunkulu ngaphandle komzamo. Bamukele ukulunga okusekelwe okholweni. U-Israyeli, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuyo yonke imizamo yakhe yokugcwalisa umthetho futhi ngalokho azuze ukulunga, akakawufezi umgomo umthetho ophathelene nawo. Kungani kungenjalo? Ngoba isisekelo abakhele kuso kwakungelona ukholo; babecabanga ukuthi bangafinyelela umgomo ngemizamo yabo siqu. Isithiyo abakhubeka kuso ‘kwakuyisikhubekiso’ (Roma 9,30-32 NGÜ).

AbaFarisi bangesikhathi sikaJesu kanye namakholwa aqhamuka ebuJudeni bathonywe ukuqhosha nesono ngesimo sabo somthetho ngesikhathi soMpostoli uPawuli. Bacabanga ukuthi ngemizamo yabo yenkolo bangazuza lokho uNkulunkulu uqobo lwaKhe ngomusa, ngoJesu, angasenzela kona. Indlela yabo yesivumelwano esidala (ukusebenza ngokulunga) kwakuyinkohlakalo elethwa ngamandla esono. Kwakungekho ukusweleka komusa nokholo esivumelwaneni esidala, kepha njengoba uNkulunkulu wayazi vele, u-Israyeli wayezowushiya lowo musa.

Kungakho iSivumelwano Esisha sahlelwa kusengaphambili njengokugcwaliseka kweSivumelwano Esidala. Ukugcwaliseka okufezeke ebuntwini bukaJesu nangenkonzo yakhe nangomoya Ongcwele. Usindise ubuntu ekuziqhengeni nasemandleni esono futhi wakha ukujula okusha ebudlelwaneni nabo bonke abantu emhlabeni jikelele. Ubudlelwano obuholela empilweni yaphakade phambi kukaNkulunkulu oButhathu.

Ukukhombisa ukubaluleka okukhulu kwalokho okwenzeka esiphambanweni saseKalvari, ngemva nje kokuba uJesu ememezele ukuthi, “Kufeziwe,” idolobha laseJerusalema lanyakaziswa ukuzamazama komhlaba. Ukuphila komuntu kwaguqulwa ngokuyisisekelo, kwaholela ekugcwalisekeni kweziprofetho eziphathelene nokubhujiswa kweJerusalema neThempeli kanye nokumiswa kweSivumelwano Esisha:

  • Ikhethini elisethempelini ebelivimba ukungena eNgcwelengcwele lidabuka kabili ukusuka phezulu kuye phansi.
  • Amathuna avuleka. Baningi abangcwele abafile abavusiwe.
  • Ababebukele babemazi uJesu njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
  • Isivumelwano esidala senza indlela yesivumelwano esisha.

Lapho uJesu ememeza la mazwi, “Kufeziwe,” wayememezela ukuphela kobukhona bukaNkulunkulu ethempelini elenziwe umuntu, “eNgcwelengcwele.” UPawulu wabhala ezincwadini zakhe kwabaseKorinte ukuthi uNkulunkulu manje usehlala ethempelini elingelona elomzimba elakhiwe nguMoya oNgcwele:

“Anazi yini ukuthi niyithempeli likaNkulunkulu nokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwenu na? Ochitha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu uyazibhubhisa yena, ngokuba uzilethela ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lingcwele, lelo thempeli lingcwele nina.” (1 Kor. 3,16-17, 2. AbaseKorinte 6,16 NGU).

Umphostoli uPawulu wakubeka ngale ndlela: “Wozani kuye! Yilelo tshe eliphilayo abantu abalahlwayo, kodwa uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe alikhethile futhi eliyigugu emehlweni akhe. Zivumeleni ukuhlanganiswa njengamatshe aphilayo endlini eyakhiwa nguNkulunkulu futhi igcwaliswe ngoMoya Wakhe. Zimisweni nibe ngubupristi obungcwele ukuze ninikele kuNkulunkulu imihlatshelo engoMoya Wakhe—imihlatshelo ayithokozelayo ngoba isekelwe emsebenzini kaJesu Kristu. “Kepha nina ningabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu; ningabupristi bobukhosi, isizwe esingcwele, abantu abakhe yedwa, abamiselwe ukumemezela imisebenzi yakhe emikhulu, imisebenzi yalowo owanibiza niphume ebumnyameni, ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo.”1. uPeter 2,4-5 kanye no-9 NGÜ).

Ngaphezu kwalokho, sonke isikhathi sethu sihlukanisiwe futhi senziwa ngcwele njengoba siphila ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esisha, okusho ukuthi sibamba iqhaza enkonzweni yakhe eqhubekayo noJesu ngoMoya oNgcwele. Akunandaba noma ngabe siyasebenza emisebenzini yethu emisebenzini yethu noma siyabandakanyeka esikhathini sethu samahhala, siyizakhamizi zezulu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu. Siphila impilo entsha kuKristu futhi sizophila kuze kube sekufeni kwethu noma kuze kubuye uJesu.

Bathandekayo, i-oda lakudala alisatholakali. KuKristu siyisidalwa esisha, esibizwa nguNkulunkulu futhi sanikwa uMoya oNgcwele. NoJesu sisemsebenzini wokuphila nokudlulisa izindaba ezinhle. Masenze ingxenye yethu emsebenzini kababa wethu! Ngokuhlanganyela kukaMoya oNgcwele empilweni kaJesu simunye futhi sixhumene.
