Ukuze ube ngumdondoshiya wokholo

Ngabe uyafuna ukuba ngumuntu onokholo? Ungathanda inkolelo ekwazi ukuhambisa izintaba? Ngabe ungathanda ukuthatha inkolo engabuyisa abafileyo baphile, ukholo olunjengoDavide owayengabulala umdondoshiya? Kungaba khona imidondoshiya eminingi empilweni yakho ofuna ukuyiqeda. Lokhu kunjalo ngamaKristu amaningi, kuhlanganise nami. Ngabe uyafuna ukuba yisidlakela sokholo? Ungakwenza, kepha awukwazi ukukwenza wedwa!

Izikhathi eziningi, amaKristu aqede i-1st1. Funda isahluko samaHeberu ongazibona unenhlanhla enkulu uma ungafanisa oyedwa walaba bantu abavela emlandweni weBhayibheli. UNkulunkulu wabe eseneliseka ngawe. Lo mbono ungenxa yokuthi iningi lamaKrestu likholelwa ukuthi lesi siqephu kufanele siqondise ukuthi sifane nawo futhi silingise. Lokhu, nokho, akulele emgomweni wakho futhi ngisho neTestamente Elidala aliwumeleli lo mgomo. Ngemva kokubala bonke abesilisa nabesifazane abaqanjwe njengabamele ukholo lwabo, umlobi uyaqhubeka ngala mazwi: «Yingakho nathi, esizungezwe ifu elinje lofakazi, sifuna ukulahla yonke imithwalo nesono esilula kangaka. uyasicupha . sifuna ukugijima ngokukhuthazela emncintiswaneni osiphambi kwethu futhi sibheke kuye owandulela ukholo lwethu futhi aluphelelise, kuJesu (Hebheru 1)2,1-2 ZB). Ingabe kukhona okubonile ngala mazwi? Lezo ziqhwaga zokholo zibizwa ngokuthi ofakazi, kodwa zazingofakazi abanjani? Impendulo yalokhu siyithola emazwini kaJesu, esingawafunda eVangelini likaJohane: “UBaba usebenza kuze kube namuhla, nami futhi ngiyasebenza.” ( Joh. 5,17). UJesu wagomela ngokuthi uNkulunkulu unguYise. “Kungakho amaJuda azama nakakhulu ukumbulala, ngoba wayengaphuli iSabatha kuphela, kodwa futhi wathi uNkulunkulu unguYise futhi ezenza olingana noNkulunkulu.” ( Joh. 5,18). Eqaphela ukuthi akakholwanga, ubatshela ukuthi unofakazi abane abafakazela ukuthi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

UJesu ubiza ofakazi abane

UJesu uyavuma ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe bubodwa abukholakali: “Uma ngizifakazela mina ngokwami, ubufakazi bami abuloqiniso.” ( Joh. 5,31). Uma noJesu engakwazi ukufakaza ngaye, ubani ongafakaza? Sazi kanjani ukuthi ukhuluma iqiniso? Sazi kanjani ukuthi unguMesiya? Sazi kanjani ukuthi ngokuphila, ukufa, nokuvuka kwakhe angasilethela insindiso? Nokho, uyasitshela ukuthi kufanele sibheke kuphi kule ndaba. Njengomshushisi womphakathi obiza ofakazi ukuze aqinisekise izinsolo noma izinsolo, uJesu ubiza uJohane uMbhapathizi njengofakazi wakhe wokuqala: “Ngumunye ofakaza ngami; ngiyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe ngami buqinisile. Nina nithumele kuJohane futhi walifakazela iqiniso.” (Joh 5,32-33). Wafakaza kuJesu ngokuthi: "Bheka, leli iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elithwala izono zezwe!" (Johannes 1,29).
Ubufakazi besibili yimisebenzi uJesu ayenza ngoYise: «Kodwa mina nginobufakazi obukhulu kunobukaJohane; ngokuba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuba ngiyifeze, yona le misebenzi engiyenzayo, iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.” ( Joh. 5,36).

Nokho, amanye amaJuda awazange amkholelwe uJohane nezimfundiso nezimangaliso zikaJesu. Yingakho uJesu anikeza ubufakazi besithathu: “UBaba ongithumileyo wafakaza ngami.” ( Joh 5,37). Lapho uJesu ebhapathizwa uJohane uMbhapathizi eJordani, uNkulunkulu wathi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo; kufanele ukuzwe lokho! »(Mathewu 17,5).

Abanye babalaleli bakhe babengekho emfuleni ngalolo suku ngakho-ke babengakawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Ukube wawulalele uJesu ngalolo suku, wawungangabaza izimfundiso nezimangaliso zikaJesu noma ngabe awuzange ulizwe izwi likaNkulunkulu eJordani, kodwa ngabe awukwazanga ukuhoxa kufakazi wokugcina. Ekugcineni, uJesu ubanikeza ubufakazi bokugcina obutholakalayo kubo. Wayengubani lo fakazi?

Yizwa amazwi kaJesu: “Nihlola imibhalo, ngoba nicabanga ukuthi ninokuphila okuphakade kuyo, futhi yiyona efakaza ngami.” ( Joh. 5,39 Isib). Yebo, imibhalo ifakazela ukuthi ungubani uJesu. Yimiphi imibhalo esikhuluma ngayo lapha? Ngesikhathi uJesu ekhuluma la mazwi, kwakungalawo eTestamente Elidala. Bafakaza kanjani ngaye? UJesu akashiwo ngokucacile lapho. Njengoba sekushiwo ekuqaleni, izenzakalo nabalingiswa abakuJohane okukhulunywa ngabo lapho bafakaza ngaye. Bangofakazi bakhe. Bonke abantu eTestamenteni Elidala ababehamba ngokukholwa babeyisithunzi sezinto ezizayo: “Okuyisithunzi sezinto ezizayo, kodwa umzimba ngokwawo ungokaKristu” (Kolose 2,17 Eberfeld Bible).

UDavid noGoliyathi

Konke lokhu kuhlangene ngani nawe njengomdondoshiya wokholo wesikhathi esizayo? Kuhle konke! Ake siphendukele endabeni kaDavide noGoliyathi, indaba lapho umfana ongumalusi eqinile okholweni kangangokuthi wakwazi ukuwisa umdondoshiya ngetshe elilodwa (1. Incwadi kaSamuweli 17). Abaningi bethu bayayifunda le ndaba futhi bayazibuza ukuthi kungani singenalo ukholo lukaDavide. Sikholelwa ukuthi zabhalwa ukuze zisifundise ukuthi singafana kanjani noDavide ukuze nathi sikholwe ngokulinganayo kuNkulunkulu futhi sinqobe imidondoshiya ezimpilweni zethu.

Nokho, kule ndaba, uDavide akameleli thina siqu. Ngakho akufanele sibonane endaweni yakhe. Njengesandulela sekusasa, wafakaza ngoJesu njengabanye ofakazi abashiwo encwadini eya kumaHeberu. Abamele thina ngamabutho akwaIsrayeli, ahlehla ngokwesaba kuGoliyati. Ake ngichaze ukuthi ngikubona kanjani lokhu. UDavide wayengumalusi, kodwa kumaHubo 23 uyamemezela: “UJehova ungumalusi wami”. UJesu wakhuluma ngaye: “Mina ngingumalusi omuhle.” (Joh 10,11). UDavide wavela eBhetlehema, lapho uJesu azalelwa khona (1. Sat 17,12). UDavida bekumele aye enkundleni yempi ngokulayelwa nguyise uJese (ivesi 20) uJesu wathi uthunywe nguyise.
INkosi uSawule yayithembise ukunikeza indodakazi yayo umshado kumuntu owayengabulala uGoliyathi (1. Sat 17,25). UJesu uzoshada ibandla lakhe lapho ebuya futhi. UGoliyathi wayegcone amabutho akwa-Israyeli izinsuku ezingama-40 (ivesi 16) futhi futhi izinsuku ezingama-40 uJesu wayezile ukudla futhi elingwa uSathane ehlane (Mathewu 4,1-11). UDavide waphendukela kuGoliyati wathi: “Namuhla uJehova uyakukunikela esandleni sami, futhi ngizokubulala, ngikunqume ikhanda” (ivesi 46 ZB).

Ngokulandelayo, uJesu waba nguye 1. Incwadi kaMose iprofetha ukuthi uyochoboza ikhanda lenyoka, uSathane (1. mose 3,15). Lapho nje uGoliyati efile, amabutho akwa-Israyeli anqoba amaFilisti futhi abulala amaningi awo. Nokho, impi yayisinqotshiwe kakade ngokufa kukaGoliyati.

Unokholo na?

UJesu wathi: “Ezweni niyesaba; kepha yimani isibindi, mina ngilinqobile izwe” (Johane 16,33). Iqiniso liwukuthi akuthina esinokholo lokuhlangana nomdondoshiya osiphikisayo, kodwa ukholo lukaJesu. Unokholo ngathi. Usesihlulile imidondoshiya. Umsebenzi wethu kuphela ukuxosha okusele kwesitha. Asinalo ukholo ngokuthanda kwethu. NguJesu: “Sifuna ukubheka kuye owandulela ukholo lwethu futhi aluphelelise” (Hebheru 12,2 Isib).

UPawulu ukubeka ngale ndlela: “Ngokuba ngomthetho ngafa kuwo umthetho, ukuze ngiphilele uNkulunkulu. Ngibethelwe kanye noKristu. ngiyaphila, kodwa manje akumina, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi. Ngoba lokho engikuphila manje enyameni, ngiphila ekukholweni eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu, eyangithanda futhi yazinikela ngenxa yami.” 2,19 - 20).
Pho uba kanjani umdondoshiya wokholo? Ukuphila kuKristu naye kuwe: “Ngalolo suku niyakwazi ukuthi ngikuBaba, nani nikimi, nami ngikini” (Johane 14,20).

Iziqhwaga zokholo okukhulunywe ngazo eNcwadini eya kumaHeberu zazingofakazi nezibikezelo zikaJesu Kristu, owandulela futhi waphelelisa ukholo lwethu. Ngaphandle kukaKristu asinakwenza lutho! Akuyena uDavide owabulala uGoliyati. KwakunguJesu Kristu ngokwakhe! Thina bantu asinalo ukholo olungangohlamvu lwesinaphi olungagudluza izintaba. Lapho uJesu ethi: “Uma beninokholo olunjengohlamvu lwesinaphi, beningasho kulesi sihlahla sombhalo ukuthi: Zikhiphe, uzifake olwandle, khona-ke besiyakulalela.” ( Luka 17,6). Wayeqonde ukuthini: Awunalo ukholo nhlobo!

Mfundi othandekayo, awusoze waba yisidlakela sokholo ngezenzo zakho nangempumelelo yakho. Futhi awube munye ngokucela uNkulunkulu ngokuqinile ukuthi akhulise ukholo lwakho. Lokho ngeke kukusize ngalutho ngoba vele usuyisidlakela sokholo kuKristu futhi ngokholo lwakhe uzonqoba konke ngaye nangaye! Uselandulele futhi waluphelelisa ukholo lwakho. Phambili! Phansi no-goliathi!
