Impilo ehlengiwe

Kusho ukuthini ukuba umlandeli kaJesu? Kusho ukuthini ukuhlanganyela empilweni ehlengiwe uNkulunkulu asinika yona kuJesu ngoMoya oNgcwele? Kusho ukuphila impilo yobuKristu eyiqiniso, eyisibonelo ekukhonzeni abanye ngokuzidela. Umphostoli uPawulu uqhubeka athi: “Anazi yini ukuthi umzimba wenu uyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele okinina, enimamukele kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi anisibo abenu? Ngokuba nathengwa ngenani elikhulu; ngakho-ke dumisani uNkulunkulu ngomzimba wenu (1. AbaseKorinte 6,19-enye).

UJesu wasihlenga ngomsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga futhi wasizuza njengempahla yakhe. Ngemva kokuqinisekisa leliqiniso ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu, uPawulu uyasinxusa ukuba siphile leliqiniso, impilo entsha ehlengiwe esonweni. Umphostoli uPetru waxwayisa ngokuthi kwakuyoba nabafundisi bamanga: “Bayosakaza ngobuqili izifundiso zamahlelo eziholela ekubhujisweni, kanjalo balahle iNkosi noMbusi owabathengela abakhe” ( NW )2. UPetrus 2,1). Ngenhlanhla, laba bafundisi bamanga abanawo nhlobo amandla okuhlehlisa iqiniso lokuthi uJesu ungubani nokuthi wasenzelani. “UJesu Kristu wazinikela ngenxa yethu ukuze asihlenge kukho konke ukungalungi futhi azihlanze, sibe abantu abashisekela imisebenzi emihle.” ( Thithu. 2,14). Lokhu kuhlanjululwa, okuvela kuJesu ngenkonzo eqhubekayo kaMoya oNgcwele, kusenza sikwazi ukuphila impilo ehlengiwe kuJesu Kristu.

UPetru uyachaza: “Ngokuba niyazi ukuthi anihlengwanga ngesiliva elibhubhayo noma ngegolide ekuhambeni kwenu okuyize koyise, kodwa ngegazi eliyigugu likaKristu njengeWundlu elingenacala nelingenacala.”1. UPetrus 1,18-enye).

Lolu lwazi lusenza siqonde ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kokuba senyameni kukaJesu. INdodana kaNkulunkulu yaPhakade yeza kithi isesimweni somuntu ngemva kokuthatha isimo sethu sobuntu, eyabe isisiguqula futhi manje isihlanganyela nathi ngoMoya. Ngalokho usenza sikwazi ukuphila impilo ehlengiwe.

Ukubuyisana ngoJesu kuwumgogodla wesu likaNkulunkulu ngesintu. Ukuzalwa ngokusha noma “ukuzalwa kwaphezulu” kuwumsebenzi wokuhlenga owenziwa nguJesu futhi wasebenza kithi ngoMoya oNgcwele.

“Kepha kwathi umusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu selubonakala, wasisindisa, kungengenxa yemisebenzi ebesiyoyenza ekulungeni, kodwa ngokwesihawu sakhe, ngokugeza kokuzalwa kutsha nokwenziwa ibentsha ngoMoya oNgcwele. , asinikela ngokuchichimayo ngenxa yethu ngoJesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu, ukuze kuthi, sesilungisiwe ngomusa wakhe, sibe izindlalifa ngokwethemba lokuphila okuphakade ” (Thithu 3,4-enye).

Ngomoya ohlala ngaphakathi siyakwazi ukuba nengxenye ebuntwini bukaJesu. Lokho kusho ukuthi sihlanganyela ebudlelwaneni bakhe noBaba ngoMoya oNgcwele. OFata beBandla bokuqala bakubeka ngalendlela: “UJesu, owayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngokwemvelo, waba iNdodana yomuntu, ukuze thina, esingabantwana bemvelo bemvelo, sibe amadodana kaNkulunkulu ngomusa”.

Uma sizinikela emsebenzini kaJesu noMoya oNgcwele futhi sinikela ngezimpilo zethu kuye, sizozalelwa empilweni entsha esesiyisebenzele kakade ebuntwini bukaJesu. Lokhu kuzalwa okusha akusethuli nje ngokusemthethweni emndenini kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokuzalwa kabusha kwethu komoya sihlanganyela ubuntu bukaKristu. Lokhu sikwenza ngenkonzo eqhubekayo kaMoya oNgcwele. UPawulu wakubeka ngalendlela: “Ngakho-ke uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha; okwakudala kudlulile, bheka, sekuvele okusha” (2. AbaseKorinte 5,17).
KuKristu sidalwa kabusha futhi sinikezwa ubuyena obusha. Lapho samukela futhi sisabela enkonzweni yomoya ohlala ngaphakathi, sizalwa kwaphezulu. Kanjalo siba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlanganyela ebuntwini bukaKristu ngoMoya oNgcwele. Nansi indlela uJohane abhala ngayo eVangelini lakhe: “Kepha abamamukelayo, bakholwa nguye, wabanika amandla okuba babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Abazange babe yilokho ngenxa yokuthi babengabesizwe esikhethiwe, hhayi ngisho nangokukhulelwa nokuzalwa komuntu. UNkulunkulu yedwa obanike lempilo entsha” (Joh 1,12-13 Ithemba Labantu Bonke).

Ngokuzalwa kwaphezulu futhi samukelwe njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, singaphila ubuhlobo obusha, nokubuyisana noNkulunkulu, ukuphila okuhlengiwe kuKristu. Lokho uJesu asenzela kona njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu neNdodana yomuntu kusebenza kithi ukuze ngomusa sibe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu esimweni sethu. UNkulunkulu uyena ofaka amakholwa kulobu budlelwane obuvuselelwe nabo - ubudlelwano obuthinta thina kuze kube sezimpandeni zobuntu bethu. Lena yindlela uPawulu asungula ngayo leli qiniso elimangalisayo: “Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe; kodwa namukele umoya wobuntwana, esimemeza ngawo sithi: Abba, Baba othandekayo! Umoya ngokwawo ufakazela imimoya yethu ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu” (Roma 8,15-enye).

Leli yiqiniso, iqiniso lempilo ehlengiwe. Masigubhe icebo lakhe elikhazimulayo lensindiso futhi sidumise ngenjabulo uNkulunkulu wethu onguziqu-zintathu uBaba, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele.
