umvuzo wokulandela uJesu Kristu

UPetru wabuza uJesu: ‘Bheka, thina sishiye konke sakulandela; sizoyithola ngani?" (Mathewu 19,27). Sishiye izinto eziningi ngemuva ohambweni lwethu lukamoya - imisebenzi, imindeni, umsebenzi, isimo senhlalo, ukuziqhenya. Ingabe kuwufanele ngempela lokho? Noma yimuphi umvuzo osibekele wona? Imizamo yethu nokuzinikela akulona ize. UNkulunkulu waphefumulela abalobi beBhayibheli ukuba babhale ngemivuzo, futhi ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi lapho uNkulunkulu ethembisa umvuzo, siyowuthola ubaluleke kakhulu, ngaphezu kwalokho esingakucabanga: “Kepha yena ongenza okukhulu kakhulu kunakho konke esikucelayo. noma siqonde, ngokwamandla asebenza kithi.” ( Efesu 3,20).

Izikhathi ezimbili

Ake siqale ngoJesu ephendula umbuzo kaPetru: “Nina eningilandele ekuzalweni okusha, lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi esikhazimulayo, niyohlala nani ezihlalweni zobukhosi eziyishumi nambili nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. Lowo oshiya izindlu, noma abafowabo, noma odadewabo, noma uyise, noma unina, noma abantwana, noma amasimu, ngenxa yegama lami, uyakwamukeliswa okuphindwe kayikhulu, adle ifa lokuphila okuphakade” ( Mathewu 19,28-enye).

IVangeli likaMarku lembula ukuthi uJesu ukhuluma ngezinkathi ezimbili zesikhathi: “Akakho oshiya ikhaya, noma abafowabo, noma odadewabo, noma unina, noma uyise, noma abantwana, noma amasimu ngenxa yami nangenxa yevangeli, ongayikwamukeliswa okuphindwe kayikhulu. : manje kulesi sikhathi izindlu, nabafowabo, nodadewabo, nonina, nabantwana, namasimu phakathi kokushushiswa, nasesikhathini esizayo ukuphila okuphakade.” ( Marku 10,29-enye).

UNkulunkulu uzosivuza ngokuphana - kodwa uJesu uyasixwayisa futhi ukuthi le mpilo ayiyona impilo yokunethezeka ngokomzimba. Siyoba nokushushiswa, ukulingwa nokuhlupheka kulokhu kuphila. Kodwa izibusiso zidlula ubunzima ngekhulu kuya kokukodwa! Noma yikuphi ukuzidela esikwenzayo kuyonxeshezelwa kakhulu.
UJesu akathembisi ukunikeza amasimu ayi-100 engeziwe kubo bonke abadela ipulazi ukuze balilandele. UJesu ucabanga ukuthi izinto esizithola ekuphileni okulandelayo ziyolingana ngokuphindwe kayikhulu kunezinto esizidelayo kulokhu kuphila—zikalwa ngokwenani langempela, inani laphakade, hhayi izimfashini ezidlulayo zezinto zenyama.

Ngiyangabaza ukuthi abafundi babekuqonda lokho uJesu ayekusho. Besacabanga ngombuso wenyama owawuzoletha inkululeko namandla asemhlabeni kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, babuza uJesu, “Nkosi, uyawubuyisela umbuso ku-Israyeli ngalesi sikhathi na? (IzE 1,6). Ukubulawa kukaStefanu noJakobe kungase kusimangaze. Uphi umholo wakhe ophindwe kayikhulu?

imizekeliso

Emizekelisweni eminingana, uJesu wabonisa ukuthi abafundi abathembekile babeyothola udumo olukhulu. Emfanekisweni wezisebenzi zasemvinini, isipho sokuhlengwa sifanekiselwa umholo wosuku: “Khona-ke bafika abaqashiwe ngehora leshumi nanye, bamukela yilowo nalowo udenariyo lwakhe. Kodwa sebefikile abokuqala bacabanga ukuthi bazakwamukela okungaphezulu; bamukela, kwaba yilowo nalowo udenariyo lwakhe” (Mathewu 20,9:10-2). Emfanekisweni wezimvu nezimbuzi, amakholwa avunyelwe ukudla ifa lombuso: “Khona inkosi iyakuthi kwabangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani nina enibusisiwe nguBaba, nidle ifa lombuso eniwulungiselweyo selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba. Umhlaba!" (Mathewu 5,34). Emzekelisweni wamapondo, izinceku ezithembekileyo zanikwa amandla phezu kwemizi: «UJesu wathi kuyo, Kuhle, nceku enhle; ngokuba ubuthembekile entweni encane, uyakuba namandla phezu kwemizi eyishumi.” ( Luka 1 Kor9,17). UJesu weluleka abafundi bakhe: “Kodwa zibekeleni ingcebo ezulwini, lapho inundu nokugqwala okungayikukudla khona, nalapho amasela engayikugqekeza khona ebe.” ( Mathewu. 6,20). UJesu wayesho ukuthi esikwenzayo kulokhu kuphila kuyovuzwa esikhathini esizayo.

Injabulo yaphakade noNkulunkulu

Ubuphakade bethu ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu buyoba obukhazimulayo futhi bujabulise kakhulu kunemivuzo engokwenyama. Zonke izinto ezibonakalayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zizinhle, zijabulisa, noma ziyigugu kangakanani, ziyithunzi elifushane lezikhathi zasezulwini ezingcono kakhulu. Lapho sicabanga ngemivuzo yaphakade, kufanele sicabange ngokuyinhloko ngemivuzo engokomoya, hhayi izinto ezingokwenyama ezidlulayo. Kodwa inkinga ukuthi asinalo ulwazimagama lokuchaza imininingwane yokuphila esingakaze sibe nakho.

Njengoba umhubi esho: “Uyangibonisa indlela yokuphila: phambi kwakho kukhona ukugcwala kwenjabulo, kwesokudla sakho kukhona intokozo yaphakade.” ( IHubo 16,11). U-Isaya wachaza enye yaleyo njabulo lapho ebikezela isizwe esasiyobuyela ezweni laso: ‘Abahlengiweyo bakaJehova bayobuya beze, beze eSiyoni ngokujabula; injabulo yaphakade iyoba phezu kwamakhanda abo; Injabulo nokuthokoza kuyofika kubo, futhi ubuhlungu nokububula kuyomuka.”—Isaya 35,10). Siyobe sesiyifezile injongo uNkulunkulu asidalele yona. Siyophila ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu futhi sijabule kakhulu kunakuqala. Yilokhu inkolo yobuKrestu ngokwesiko ezama ukuyiveza ngomqondo "wokuya ezulwini."

Isifiso esidelelekile?

Ukukholelwa emvuzweni kuyingxenye yokholo lobuKristu. Noma kunjalo, amanye amaKristu acabanga ukuthi kuwukungahloniphi ukufuna imivuzo ngomsebenzi wawo. Sibizelwe ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngothando, hhayi njengezisebenzi ezilindele ukuvuzwa. Nokho imiBhalo ikhuluma ngemivuzo futhi isiqinisekisa ngomvuzo: ‘Kepha ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukumthokozisa uNkulunkulu; ngoba ozayo kuNkulunkulu umelwe ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona, nokuthi umvuzo wabo ubapha labo abamfunayo.” ( Hebheru 11,6).

Lapho ukuphila kuba nzima, kuyasiza ukukhumbula ukuthi kukhona enye impilo: “Uma ukukholwa kuKristu kusinika ithemba lalokhu kuphila kuphela, singabaneshwa kunabo bonke abantu” (1. AbaseKorinte 15,19 Ithemba kubo bonke). UPawulu wayazi ukuthi ukuphila okuzayo kwakuyokufanelekela ukuzidela kwakhe. Walahla injabulo yesikhashana ukuze afune okungcono, injabulo ehlala njalo kuKristu.

Imivuzo emikhulu kakhulu

Ababhali beBhayibheli abasinikanga imininingwane eminingi. Kodwa into eyodwa esiyazi ngokuqinisekile - kuzoba ukuzizwisa okuhle kakhulu esake saba nakho. “Noma yini eniyenzayo, yenzeni ngenhliziyo kungathi yenzela iNkosi, hhayi abantu, nazi ukuthi niyakwamukeliswa ifa eNkosini.” ( KwabaseKolose. 3,23-24). Incwadi kaPetru isinikeza impendulo yombuzo waliphi ifa esiyolithola: “Makabongwe uNkulunkulu, uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, othe ngokobubele bakhe obukhulu wasizala kabusha ethembeni eliphilayo ngokuvuka kwabafileyo. likaJesu Kristu kwabafileyo, niye efeni elingabhubhiyo nelingangcolile nelingabuni, eligcinelwe nina, enilondolozwe ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ngokholo ensindisweni elungiselwe ukwambulwa ngesikhathi sokugcina. Khona-ke niyojabula manje ukuthi manje nilusizi isikhashana, uma kufanele, ezilingo ezihlukahlukene, ukuze ukholo lwenu luvivinywe futhi lufunyanwe lulugugu kakhulu kunegolide elibhubhayo elicwengisiswe emlilweni, kube yindumiso, nenkazimulo nodumo. udumo lapho uJesu Kristu ebonakaliswa” (1. UPetrus 1,3-7). Kuningi okumele sikubonge, kuningi okumele sikubheke ngabomvu, kuningi esingakubungaza!
