Amazwi kaJesu okugcina

UJesu Kristu wachitha amahora okugcina okuphila kwakhe ebethelwe esiphambanweni. Ehlekwa usulu futhi enqatshwe yilelo zwe uyosindisa. Okuwukuphela komuntu ongenabala owake waphila wathatha imiphumela yecala lethu futhi wakhokha ngokuphila kwakhe. IBhayibheli lifakaza ukuthi eKalvari, elenga esiphambanweni, uJesu wakhuluma amazwi abalulekile. La mazwi okugcina kaJesu awumyalezo okhethekile ovela kuMsindisi wethu lapho ezwa ubuhlungu obukhulu kakhulu ekuphileni kwakhe. Zembulela imizwa yakhe ejulile yothando ngalezo zikhathi lapho enikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yethu.

ukuthethelelwa

«Kepha uJesu wathi: Baba, bathethelele; ngoba abazi ukuthi benzani! Bahlukaniselana izingubo zakhe, benzelana inkatho ngazo.” ( Luka 23,34). ULuka kuphela oloba amazwi uJesu awakhuluma ngemva nje kokuba bebethele izipikili ezandleni nasezinyaweni zakhe. Ezungezile kwakumi amasosha ayembophela izingubo zakhe, abantu abavamile ababegqugquzelwa iziphathimandla zenkolo nezibukeli ezazingafuni ukuphuthelwa yilombukwane ononya. Abapristi abakhulu kanye nababhali namalunga baklolodela bathi: ‘Uyinkosi yakwa-Israyeli, makehle esiphambanweni. Khona-ke masikholelwe kuye” (Mathewu 2).7,42).

Kwesokunxele nakwesokudla kwakulenga izigebengu ezimbili ezazigwetshelwe ukufa esiphambanweni kanye naye. UJesu wakhohliswa, waboshwa, wabhaxabulwa futhi walahlwa ngecala, nakuba ayengenacala kuNkulunkulu nakubantu. Manje, elenga esiphambanweni, naphezu kobuhlungu obungokwenyama nokulahlwa, uJesu wacela uNkulunkulu ukuba athethelele labo ababemzwisa ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka.

insindiso

Esinye isigebengu sathi: “Jesu, ngikhumbule lapho usufike embusweni wakho! UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Namuhla uzakuba nami ePharadesi” (Luka 2)3,42-enye).

Ukusindiswa kwesigebengu esiphambanweni kuyisibonelo esimile samandla kaKristu okusindisa kanye nokuzimisela Kwakhe ukwamukela bonke abeza Kuye, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isimo sabo sinjani.
Naye wayeke waklolodela uJesu ngaphambili, kodwa manje wayesesilungisa esinye isigebengu. Kwashintsha okuthile kuye wathola ukholo ngesikhathi elenga esiphambanweni. Asitshelwa ngenye ingxoxo phakathi kwalesi sigebengu esiphendukile noJesu. Mhlawumbe isibonelo sokuhlupheka kukaJesu nomthandazo awuzwa samthinta kakhulu.

Bonke abanikela ngezimpilo zabo kuJesu, abemukela uJesu njengoMsindisi noMhlengi wabo, abatholi nje kuphela amandla okubhekana nezinselele zamanje, kodwa ithemba laphakade ngekusasa. Ikusasa ngale kokufa, ukuphila okuphakade embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Kodwa akubona bonke ababona ukubethelwa kukaJesu ababemzonda. Abanye babafundi bakhe nabesifazane abambalwa ababemphelezele ohambweni lwakhe bachitha lamahora okugcina enaye. Phakathi kwabo kwakunoMariya, unina, manje owayesesaba indodana uNkulunkulu ayemnike yona ngokuyisimangaliso. Lapha isiprofetho uSimeyoni asinikeza uMariya ngemva kokuzalwa kukaJesu siyagcwaliseka: “USimeyoni wambusisa wathi kuMariya... 2,34-enye).

UJesu waqinisekisa ukuthi unina uyanakekelwa futhi wacela umngane wakhe ayemethemba uJohane ukuba amsekele: “Manje uJesu ebona unina nomfundi ayemthanda emi naye, wathi kunina: ‘Sifazane, bheka indodana yakho! Wayesethi kumfundi: “Bheka, unyoko lo! Futhi kusukela kulelo hora umfundi wamthatha (Johane 19,26-27). UJesu wabonisa inhlonipho nokukhathalela unina phakathi nesikhathi esinzima kunazo zonke ekuphileni kwakhe.

ukwesaba

Njengoba ememeza la mazwi alandelayo, uJesu wacabanga ngaye okokuqala: “Ngehora lesishiyagalolunye uJesu wamemeza kakhulu: Eli, Eli, lama asabtani? Okusho ukuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungishiyeleni na? (Mathewu 27,46; Mark 15,34). UJesu wacaphuna ingxenye yokuqala yeHubo 22 , ebhekisela ekuhluphekeni nasekukhathaleni kukaMesiya. Ngezinye izikhathi siyakhohlwa ukuthi uJesu wayengumuntu ophelele. WayenguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, kodwa evezwe imizwa nemizwa efana nathi. “Kusukela ngehora lesithupha kwaba mnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye” (Mathewu 27,45).

Elenga lapho esiphambanweni amahora amathathu, ebumnyameni futhi ehlushwa ubuhlungu, ethwele umthwalo wezono zethu, wagcwalisa isiprofetho sika-Isaya: “Impela wathwala izifo zethu, wathwala ubuhlungu bethu; Kepha thina sasicabanga ukuthi uhlushwa, ashaywe futhi abulawelwe ukholo nguNkulunkulu. Kodwa walinyazwa ngenxa yobubi bethu, walinyazwa ngenxa yezono zethu. Isijeziso siphezu kwakhe ukuze sibe nokuthula, nangemivimbo yakhe siphilisiwe. Sonke saduka njengezimvu, yilowo lalowo ekhangela indlela yakhe. Kodwa uJehova waphonsa izono zethu phezu kwakhe (Isaya 53,4-6). Amazwi akhe amathathu okugcina alandelana ngokushesha okukhulu.

“Emva kwalokho uJesu esekwazi ukuthi zonke izinto sezifezekile wathi, ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo, ngomile” (Johane 1)9,28). Umzuzu wokufa wawusondela kakhulu. UJesu wakhuthazela futhi wasinda ekushiseni, ebuhlungwini, ekulahlweni nasesizungu. Wayengase ahlupheke futhi afe ngokuthula, kodwa kunalokho, ngokungalindelekile, wacela usizo. Lokhu futhi kwagcwalisa isiprofetho sikaDavide seminyaka eyinkulungwane: “Ihlazo liphula inhliziyo yami, lingigulise. Ngilindele ohawukelwayo, kepha akekho, nabaduduzi, kepha angibatholi. Banginika inyongo ukuba ngidle, bangiphuzise uviniga ngenxa yokoma kwami.”—IHubo 69,21-enye).

“Ngomile,” kumemeza uJesu esiphambanweni. Wahlushwa ukoma ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuba ukomela kwethu uNkulunkulu kuqedwe. Futhi lokho koma kuyoqedwa ngempela uma siza emthonjeni wamanzi aphilayo—iNkosi yethu noMsindisi uJesu Kristu kanye nevangeli Lakhe. Uyidwala lapho uBaba waseZulwini asithela kulo ngokuyisimangaliso amanzi ogwadule lwale mpilo—amanzi aqeda ukoma kwethu. Asisadingi ukomela ukusondelana kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesondele kakhulu kithi noJesu futhi uyohlala eseduze phakade.

Kuphelile!

“Kwathi uJesu esewuthathile uviniga, wathi, Kufeziwe” (Johane 19,30). Ngifinyelele umgomo wami, ngimile ukulwa kwaze kwaba sekugcineni futhi manje nginqobile - lokho kusho igama likaJesu elithi "Kuphelile!" Amandla esono nokufa aphukile. Kubantu ibhuloho lakhiwe libuyele kuNkulunkulu. Izimo zokuhlenga bonke abantu zidaliwe. UJesu usewuqedile umsebenzi wakhe emhlabeni. Inkulumo yakhe yesithupha yayingeyokunqoba: Ukuthobeka kukaJesu nakho kuvezwa kulawa mazwi. Usefinyelele ekupheleni komsebenzi wakhe wothando - ngokuba akakho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, lokuba adele ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe (Johane 15,13).

Nina enamamukele uKristu ngokukholwa “njengakho konke kukho konke” kwenu, nikusho nsuku zonke ukuthi kuphelile! Hamba utshele labo abazihluphayo ngoba becabanga ukuthi bangajabulisa uNkulunkulu ngemizamo yabo yokulalela nokuzisola. Konke ukuhlupheka uNkulunkulu akudingayo, uKristu usehlushwe kakade. Bonke ubuhlungu bomzimba obudingwa ngumthetho ukuze kwaneliseke uKristu kade abubekezelela.

nikela

“UJesu wamemeza wathi: “Baba, ngiyawubeka umoya wami ezandleni zakho! Eseshilo lokho wabhubha.” ( Luka 2 Kor3,46). Yizwi likaJesu lokugcina ngaphambi kokufa nokuvuka kwakhe. Ubaba wezwa umthandazo wakhe futhi waphatha umoya kaJesu nokuphila kwakhe ezandleni zakhe. Waqinisekisa ukufa kwakhe njengensindiso yabaningi futhi kanjalo akavumelanga ukufa kube nezwi lokugcina.

Esiphambanweni, uJesu wazuza ukuthi ukufa akusaholeli ekwahlukaneni noNkulunkulu, kodwa kuyisango lokungena ebudlelwaneni obuseduze noNkulunkulu obungenamingcele. Wathwala isono sethu futhi wayinqoba imiphumela yaso. Labo abathembela kuye bayobona ukuthi ibhuloho eliya kuNkulunkulu, ubuhlobo naye, buhlala ngisho nasekufeni nangale kwalokho. Noma ubani othembela kuJesu, anikele inhliziyo yakhe kuye futhi athembele kulokho asenzela khona esiphambanweni, futhi uyohlala ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu.
