Uyini umlayezo kaJesu?

UJesu wenza izimangaliso eziningi uJohane angazifaki evangelini lakhe, kodwa ubhala izimangaliso ukuze sikholwe ukuthi uJesu unguMesiya futhi sithembele kuye: “Izibonakaliso eziningi uJesu wazenza phambi kwabafundi bakhe, ezingalotshiwe. kuleNcwadi. Kodwa lezi zilotshiwe ukuze nikholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, nokuba, ngenxa yokuthi nikholwa, nibe nokuphila egameni lakhe.”— Johane 20,30:31 .

Isimangaliso sokondliwa kwesixuku esikhulu sasibhekisela eqinisweni elingokomoya. Yikho futhi uJesu wayefuna uFiliphu acabange ngakho: «UJesu wathi ephakamisa amehlo wabona ixuku labantu liza kuye. Wayesethi kuFiliphu: Singasithenga ngaphi izinkwa laba bantu na? Wabuza lokhu ukuze abone ukuthi uFiliphu uyamethemba yini; ngoba wayeseyazi ukuthi uzakubanakekela njani abantu.” ( Joh 6,5-6 Ithemba Labantu Bonke).

UJesu uyisinkwa esehla sivela ezulwini ukuzonika izwe ukuphila. Njengoba nje isinkwa siwukudla kwempilo yethu yenyama, noJesu ungumthombo wokuphila komoya namandla. UJesu wasipha nini ukudla isixuku esikhulu, uJohane uyabika: “Kwakusele ngaphambi kwePhasika, umkhosi wamaJuda.” ( Joh. 6,4). Isinkwa siyisici esibalulekile ngenkathi yePhasika, uJesu wembula ukuthi insindiso ayiveli esinkwa esingokwenyama, kodwa ivela kuJesu ngokwakhe. Impendulo kaFiliphu ibonisa ukuthi wayengayiqapheli le nselele: "Izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili zesiliva azibanele " ukuze wonke umuntu athole ngisho nokuncane.” (Joh 6,7).

U-Andreas akazange aqagele ngentengo, kodwa kumelwe ukuba wayeziphethe kahle izingane; wayenze ubungane nomfana: “Kukhona umfana lapha onezinkwa zebhali ezinhlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili. Kodwa kuyini lokho kwabaningi kangaka?" (UJohane 6,9). Mhlawumbe wayethemba ukuthi kwakunabantu abaningi esixukwini ababenokuqonda kusengaphambili ukuletha ukudla kwasemini. UJesu wayala abafundi ukuba bahlale phansi. Amadoda angaba yizinkulungwane ezinhlanu ahlala phansi edlelweni. UJesu wazithatha izinkwa, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wazinika abantu ngokuthanda kwabo. Wenza okufanayo nangezinhlanzi. Bonke badla ngokuthanda kwabo.

“Lapho abantu bebona isibonakaliso uJesu asenzayo, bathi: ‘Lo ungumprofethi obezakuza ezweni’” (Joh. 6,14-15). Babecabanga ukuthi uJesu wayengumprofethi uMose ayebikezele ngaye: “Ngiyobavusela umprofethi onjengawe phakathi kwabafowabo, ngibeke amazwi ami emlonyeni wakhe; uyakukhuluma kubo konke engimyala ngakho” (5. Msombuluko 18,18). Babengafuni ukulalela uJesu. Babefuna ukumenza inkosi ngenkani, bamfake emcabangweni wabo wokuthi uMesiya kufanele abe yini, esikhundleni sokuvumela uJesu ukuba enze lokho uNkulunkulu ayemthume ukuba akwenze. Lapho bonke abantu sebegcwele, uJesu wathi kubafundi: “Buthani imvuthuluka esele, ukuze kungabhubhi lutho.” ( Joh. 6,12). Kungani uJesu ayengafuna ukuqoqa zonke izinsalela? Kungani ungashiyi lezi zinto ezengeziwe kubantu? Abafundi babutha obhasikidi abayishumi nambili bezinsalela, uJohane uyasitshela. Akabhali lutho ngokwenzeka kulezi zinkwa ezidliwe uhhafu. Yini ekhona endaweni yomoya uJesu afuna ukuba ingabhubhi? UJohane usinikeza iseluleko salokhu kamuva kulesi sahluko.

Ukuhamba phezu kwamanzi

Kwathi sekuhlwile abafundi bakhe behlela ogwini lolwandle. Bangena esikebheni sabo, bawela ulwandle bebheke eKapernawume. Kwase kumnyama bhuqe futhi uJesu wayengakabuyi entabeni. Isizathu sokuba bashiye uJesu yedwa kwakungoba kwakungeyona into engavamile ukuba uJesu avame ukufuna ukuba yedwa ngezikhathi ezithile. UJesu wayengajahile. Wayengalinda isikebhe njengabanye abantu. Kodwa wahamba phezu kwamanzi, ngokusobala ukuze afundise isifundo esingokomoya.

EVangelini likaMathewu isifundo sikamoya siwukholo, uJohane akasho lutho ngoPetru ehamba phezu kwamanzi, ecwila futhi esindiswa nguJesu. Lokho uJohane asitshela kona yilokhu: “Khona-ke bafuna ukumngenisa esikebheni; Masinyane umkhumbi wawufika emhlabathini lapho ababefuna ukuya khona.” ( Joh 6,21). Lesi isici sendaba uJohane afuna ukusidlulisela kithi. Indaba isitshela ukuthi uJesu akanqunyelwe izimo zenyama. Lapho sesamukele uJesu, ngokomoya, sesiwufinyelele umgomo wethu.

Isinkwa sokuphila

Abantu bamthola futhi uJesu, befuna esinye isidlo samahhala. UJesu wabakhuthaza ukuba bafune ukudla okungokomoya: “Ningalwela ukudla okuphelayo, kodwa ukudla okuhlala kuze kube ngukuphila okuphakade. Lokhu yikho iNdodana yomuntu ezalinika khona; ngoba kuyo kukhona uphawu lukaNkulunkulu uBaba.” (Joh 6,27).

Base bembuza: Yini okumelwe siyenze ukuze samukelwe uNkulunkulu? UJesu wabaphendula ngokuthi into eyodwa yayiyokwanela: “Lona kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ukuba nikholwe kuye amthumileyo.” ( Joh. 6,29).

Ungazami ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngenkani - thembela kuJesu futhi uzongena. Bafuna ubufakazi, njengokungathi ukondla izinkulungwane ezinhlanu kwakunganele! Babelindele okuthile okungavamile, njengoba nje noMose wanika okhokho babo “imana” (isinkwa esivela ezulwini) ukuba balidle ehlane. UJesu waphendula ngokuthi isinkwa seqiniso esivela ezulwini asigcini nje ngokuphakela ama-Israyeli - sinika ukuphila emhlabeni wonke: “Ngokuba lesi yisinkwa sikaNkulunkulu esivela ezulwini, esinikeza izwe ukuphila.” ( Joh. 6,33).

“Mina ngiyisinkwa sokuphila. Oza kimi kayikulamba; futhi lowo okholwa kimi akasoze oma.” ( Joh 6,35). UJesu wamemezela ukuthi uyisinkwa esivela ezulwini, umthombo wokuphila okuphakade emhlabeni. Abantu babembonile uJesu enza izimangaliso futhi babengamkholwa namanje ngoba wayengahlangabezananga nezimfuneko zabo ngoMesiya. Kungani abanye bengakholwa kanti abanye bengakholwa? UJesu wakuchaza njengomsebenzi kaBaba: “Akakho ongeza Kimi ngaphandle kokuba uBaba amlethe Kimi! (UJohane 6,65 Ithemba Labo Bonke).

Wenzani uJesu ngemva kokuba uBaba enze lokhu? Usibonisa indima yakhe lapho ethi: “Noma yini uBaba anginika yona iza kimi; futhi noma ubani oza kimi ngeke ngimkhiphe.” (Joh 6,37). Mhlawumbe bangamshiya ngokuthanda kwabo, kodwa uJesu akasoze abaxosha. UJesu ufuna ukwenza intando kaYise futhi intando kaYise iwukuthi uJesu ngeke alahlekelwe namunye walabo uBaba amnike bona: “Kepha lokhu kuyintando yongithumileyo ukuba ngingalahlekelwa lutho. “Lokho angiphe khona, kodwa ukuze ngimvuse ngosuku lokugcina.” (Joh 6,39). Njengoba uJesu engalahlekelwanga ngisho namunye, uthembisa ukubavusa ngosuku lokugcina.

Udla inyama yakhe?

UJesu wababekela inselele nakakhulu: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi nidle inyama yeNdodana yomuntu, niphuze igazi layo, aninakho ukuphila kini. Odla inyama yami anathe igazi lami unokuphila okuphakade, futhi mina ngiyomvusa ngosuku lokugcina.” ( Joh. 6,53). Njengoba nje uJesu ayengabhekiseli emkhiqizweni kakolweni lapho ezibiza ngokuthi isinkwa seqiniso, noJesu akasho ukuthi kufanele sidle ngempela inyama yakhe. EVangelini likaJohane, ngokuvamile kuyiphutha ukuthatha amazwi kaJesu njengoba enjalo. Umlando ubonisa ukuthi uJesu wayesho okuthile okungokomoya.

UJesu ngokwakhe unikeza le ncazelo: “Ngumoya ophilisayo; inyama ayisizi lutho. Amazwi engiwakhulume kini angumoya futhi angukuphila.” ( Joh 6,63). UJesu akakhulumi ngezicubu zakhe zomzimba lapha - ukhuluma ngamazwi nezimfundiso zakhe. Abafundi bakhe babonakala belithola iphuzu. Lapho uJesu ebabuza ukuthi bayafuna yini ukuhamba, uPetru uyaphendula: “Nkosi, siyakuyaphi na? Amazwi okuphila okuphakade akuwe; sakholwa, sazi: Wena ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.” ( Joh 6,68-69). UPetru wayengenandaba nokufinyelela enyameni kaJesu - wayegxile emazwini kaJesu. Umlayezo ongaguquki weTestamente Elisha ukuthi okungcwele kuvela ekukholweni, hhayi ekudleni okukhethekile noma esiphuzweni.

Ezulwini

Isizathu esenza abantu bakholelwe kuJesu yingoba wehla evela ezulwini. UJesu uwaphinda kaningi la mazwi abalulekile kulesi sahluko. UJesu uthembeke ngokuphelele ngoba akagcini nje ngokuba nomyalezo ovela ezulwini, kodwa ngoba naye ngokwakhe uvela ezulwini. Abaholi bamaJuda abazange bayithande imfundiso yakhe: “Khona amaJuda akhonona ngaye, ngoba ethi: “Mina ngiyisinkwa esehla ezulwini.” ( Joh. 6,41).

Ngisho nabanye babafundi bakaJesu abakwazanga ukukwamukela - ngisho nangemva kokuba uJesu ekwenze kwacaca ukuthi wayengakhulumi ngenyama yakhe engokoqobo, kodwa amazwi akhe ngokwawo ayewumthombo wokuphila okuphakade. Baphazanyiswa ukuthi uJesu wayethi uvela ezulwini - ngakho-ke wayengaphezu komuntu. UPetru wayazi ukuthi ayikho enye indawo ayengaya kuyo, ngoba uJesu kuphela owayenamazwi okuphila okuphakade: “Nkosi, siyakuyaphi na? Amazwi okuphila okuphakade akuwe; sakholwa, sazi: Wena ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.” ( Joh 6,68th). Kungani uPetru azi ukuthi uJesu kuphela owayenala mazwi? UPetru wayemethemba uJesu futhi eqiniseka ukuthi uJesu ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.

Uyini umlayezo kaJesu. Ungumlayezo ngokwawo! Yingakho amazwi kaJesu ethembekile; yingakho amazwi akhe angumoya nokuphila. Sikholelwa kuJesu hhayi nje ngenxa yamazwi akhe, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ungubani. Asimamukeli ngenxa yamazwi akhe – amazwi akhe siyawamukela ngenxa yobuyena. Njengoba uJesu engoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu, ungamethemba ukuthi uzokwenza lokho akuthembisile: Akayikulahlekelwa muntu, kodwa uyokuvusa mfundi othandekayo, ngosuku lokugcina. UJesu wathi zonke izinkwa zibuthelwe obhasikidini abayishumi nambili ukuze kungabhubhi lutho. Lena yintando kaBaba futhi kuyinto okufanele sicabange ngayo.
