Umbuso kaNkulunkulu (Ingxenye 5)
Okokugcina sibheke ukuthi iqiniso eliyinkimbinkimbi kanye neqiniso loMbuso kaNkulunkulu owawukhona ngaphambili kodwa ongakaqedwa kwaholela kanjani ngephutha amanye amaKristu ekunqobeni nabanye ekuthuleni. Kulesi sihloko, sithatha indlela ehlukile yokungena kuleli qiniso eliyinkimbinkimbi ngokholo.
Hlanganyela enkonzweni kaJesu eqhubekayo enkonzweni yombuso kaNkulunkulu
Esikhundleni sokubambelela ekunqobeni (leso sishoshovu esihlose ukuletha umbuso kaNkulunkulu) noma ukuthula (lokho kungabi nandaba okumela ukubamba, ukushiyela konke kuNkulunkulu), sonke sibizelwe ukuphila ukuphila okunethemba okunikeza isimo seqiniso. izimpawu zombuso kaNkulunkulu ozayo. Yebo, lezi zibonakaliso zinencazelo elinganiselwe kuphela - azidali umbuso kaNkulunkulu, futhi aziwenzi ube khona futhi ube yiqiniso. Nokho, bakhomba ngale kwalokho okuzayo. Benza umehluko lapha namanje, ngisho noma bengakwazi ukuthonya yonke into. Bamane benza isihlobo hhayi umehluko onqumayo. Lokhu kuhambisana nesicelo sikaNkulunkulu ngebandla kulesi sikhathi esibi samanje. Abanye, abathambekele ekubambeleleni endleleni yokucabanga yokunqoba noma yokuthula, bayokuphikisa lokhu futhi baphikise ngokuthi akulungile noma akufanele neze ukubalula ukubeka izimpawu ezibhekisela embusweni kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo kuphela. Ngokombono wabo, akufanelekile uma bengakwazi ukuletha izinguquko ezisimeme - uma bengakwazi ukuthuthukisa umhlaba noma okungenani benze abanye bakholwe kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa lokho okuphikisayo okungakunaki iqiniso lokuthi izimpawu ezibonisiwe, zesikhashana nezinqunyelwe isikhathi amaKristu angazibeka lapha namanje azikwazi ukubukwa ngokwazo zodwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo. Kungani kungenjalo? Ngoba isenzo sobuKristu sisho ukuhlanganyela emsebenzini oqhubekayo kaJesu, ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. NgoMoya oNgcwele siyakwazi ukuhlanganyela nenkosi ekubuseni kwayo lapha namanje nakulesi sikhathi samanje sezwe elibi - isikhathi esiyonqotshwa. INkosi yombuso kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo ingangenela enkathini yamanje futhi isebenzise ubufakazi obubonisiwe, besikhashana kanye nobunqunyelwe isikhathi bebandla. Lezi zibanga umehluko ohlobene kodwa ophawulekayo lapha namanje, ngisho noma zingalethi uguquko olubaluleke kakhulu oluza nokuqedwa kombuso kaNkulunkulu.
Ukukhanya kombuso kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo kuyafinyelela kithi futhi kusikhanyisele endleleni yethu kulo mhlaba obumnyama. Njengoba nje ukukhanya kwenkanyezi kukhanyisa ubumnyama bobusuku, izimpawu zeBandla, ezikhona ngezwi nangesenzo, zikhomba embusweni kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo ekukhanyeni kwelanga kwasemini. Lawa maphoyinti okukhanya amancane anomphumela, noma ngabe kuphawulwe kuphela, okwesikhashana noma okwesikhashana. Ngomsebenzi womusa kaSomandla siba amathuluzi anezibonakaliso nobufakazi bethu, siqondiswe esenzweni sezwi likaNkulunkulu kanye noMoya oNgcwele. Ngale ndlela singathinta abantu futhi sihambisane noKristu embusweni wakhe wesikhathi esizayo. UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uyasebenza lapha namanje ngaphambi kokuba umbuso ufinyelele esiphethweni sawo. Singamanxusa kaKristu; ngoba uNkulunkulu uyala ngathi (2. AbaseKorinte 5,20). Ngezwi lokushumayela, njengoba lenziwa ukuba lisetshenziswe uMoya oNgcwele, uNkulunkulu kakade wenza abantu ngokukholwa kwabo emoyeni, njengezakhamuzi zombuso kaNkulunkulu ozayo, ukuba bahlanganyele kulombuso (KwabaseRoma 1,16). Yonke inkomishi elula yamanzi enikezwa egameni likaKristu ayiphumi (Mathewu 10,42). Ngakho-ke akufanele silahle izimpawu noma ubufakazi bamakholwa ebandla likaNkulunkulu njengezimpawu ezidlulayo, ezimsulwa noma izenzo ezikhomba okuthile okungakabi ngokoqobo. UKristu unezela umsebenzi wethu wokubeka izimpawu kowakhe futhi usebenzisa ubufakazi bethu ukuze adonsele abantu ebuhlotsheni bomuntu siqu naye. Ngakho bayakuzwa ukuba khona kokubusa kwakhe kothando futhi bathola injabulo, ukuthula nethemba ngokubusa kwakhe okunobulungisa, okugcwele uthando. Kuyacaca ukuthi lezi zimpawu azivezi lonke iqiniso lokuthi ikusasa lisiphatheleni, kodwa zikhomba nje kuphela. Zibonisa - kokubili esikhathini esidlule nasesikhathini esizayo - ngaleyo ndlela zimelela uKristu, owaba uMsindisi neNkosi phezu kwayo yonke indalo ekuphileni kwakhe nasenkonzweni yakhe emhlabeni. okuhlangenwe nakho. Izimpawu zokholo zobuKristu zifakaza ngesikhathi nasemkhathini, enyameni nasegazini, ngokuthi ungubani uJesu nokuthi umbuso wakhe wesikhathi esizayo uyobukeka kanjani. Zidinga isikhathi nemali, umzamo nekhono, ukucabanga nokuhlela, kanye nokuxhumana komuntu ngamunye nomphakathi. USomandla angazisebenzisa ngoMoya wakhe oNgcwele futhi enze lokhu ukuze afeze inhloso okufanele ayenze: ukuholela kuNkulunkulu kuKristu. Isingeniso esinjalo sithela izithelo ngendlela yenguquko efika ekuphendukeni (ukuphenduka noma ukuguquka kwempilo) kanye nokholo, kanye nempilo egcwele ithemba lombuso kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo.
Ngakho senza isikhathi sethu, amandla, izinsiza, amakhono kanye nesikhathi esikhululekile kutholakale eNkosini yethu ukuze sikusebenzise. Silwa nosizi lwabaswele emhlabeni wethu wamanje. Siyangenelela ukuze sisize ngezenzo zethu nokuzibophezela kwethu, esikwabelana ngakho nabantu abanomqondo ofanayo ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwezifunda zethu. Ukubunjwa kwezinkathazo zomhlaba nakho kwenzeka ngokubambisana nalabo abangakabi (okwamanje) kule miphakathi. Ubufakazi bethu bokholo esibuthathayo mayelana ne-So Ask bungaba ngokomuntu siqu noma ngomlomo, kodwa kufanele futhi busetshenziswe esidlangalaleni futhi ngokuhlanganyela. Ngokwenza kanjalo, kufanele sisebenzise zonke izindlela esinazo. Ngakho konke esinakho, esikwenzayo nesikushoyo, sithumela isigijimi esifanayo ngazo zonke izindlela esifinyelela kuzo, simemezela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani kuKristu nokuthi ukubusa kwakhe kuyoqinisekiswa phakade. Siphila lapha namanje, ngisho nasemhlabeni wesono, ekuhlanganyeleni noKristu futhi ngethemba lokupheleliswa okuphelele kokubusa kwakhe. Siphila sigcwele ithemba lezulu elisha nomhlaba omusha esikhathini esizayo sezwe. Siphila kulesi sikhathi ngokwazi ukuthi leli zwe liyadlula - ngoba sibonga izwi likaJesu Kristu nokungenela kwakhe ngempela. Siphila ngokuqiniseka ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu uyasondela ekupheleleni kwawo - ngoba kunjalo impela!
Ngakho-ke, okungaphelele, okungaphelele, nokwesikhashana, ubufakazi esibunikezayo njengamaKristu buyiqiniso ngomqondo wokuthi buthinta isimo sethu samanje kanye nabo bonke ubudlelwano bethu, ngisho noma kuwumbuso kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo oseduze Lapha namanje awukakafiki. ephelele, ayibonakali kuwo wonke amaqiniso ayo. Kuyiqiniso ngomqondo wokuthi, ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu, sihlanganyela njengembewu yesinaphi kulokho uMninimandla onke akwenzayo manje ngoMoya oNgcwele ukukhomba abantu kuJesu Kristu nasembusweni wakhe wesikhathi esizayo. Namuhla singazuza kwezinye zezibusiso zokubusa nombuso kaKristu, ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu, kokubili ezimweni zomuntu siqu nezenhlalo.
Iqiniso lembulwa
Ukwenza lokhu kucace kakhudlwana, kufanele kuphawulwe ukuthi ngezenzo zethu asilungiseli isisekelo sokuba ngokoqobo kobukhosi bukaKristu, noma sibuthethelele. UNkulunkulu, uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele sebekwenzile lokhu. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo uyiqiniso futhi usuvele waba ngokoqobo. Siqinisekiswa ngokubuya kwakhe. Singathembela kukho. Leli qiniso alincikile kithi. Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke yini esiyifezayo ngobufakazi bethu, izibonakaliso esizinike isimo, lapho umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungafezeki noma uqhubeka uba ngokoqobo? Impendulo ithi izibonakaliso esizibekayo zembula, ngeziqephu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu ozayo. Umsebenzi wethu wamanje - ilungelo lethu - ukufakaza, ngamazwi nangezenzo, ubuqiniso bombuso kaNkulunkulu.
Khona-ke, ukuphela, ukubuya kukaKristu, kuyolethani? Ukuza Kwakhe kwesibili akunikezi iqiniso eliphelele embusweni kaNkulunkulu, njengokungathi uqukethe amandla adingekayo kuze kube yileso sikhathi. Sekuvele kuyiqiniso eliphelele namuhla. UJesu Kristu useyiNkosi, uMhlengi neNkosi yethu. Uyabusa. Kodwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu usafihliwe okwamanje. Ububanzi obugcwele bokubusa kwakhe abufezeki enkathini embi yamanje ngokugcwala kwayo konke. Lapho uKristu ebuya, umbuso kaNkulunkulu uyokwambulwa ekupheleleni, nayo yonke imiphumela yawo. Ukubuya noma ukuvela kwakhe kabusha (i-parousia yakhe) kuyohambisana nokwambulwa noma ukwembulwa (i-apocalypse) yeqiniso neqiniso lokuthi ungubani nokuthi ufezile; ngaleso sikhathi iqiniso langempela lokuthi uKristu ungubani nokuthi uzoba yini. wenza kithi, ngenxa yensindiso yethu, ukuze kwambulwe kubo bonke. Ekugcineni kuyovezwa ukuthi yini eyayakha umuntu nenkonzo kaJesu Kristu. Inkazimulo yakho konke lokhu izokhanya yonke indawo futhi ngaleyo ndlela ithuthukise umphumela wayo ogcwele. Isikhathi sokusikisela nje, ukufakaza kwesikhashana kanye nesikhathi esinqunyelwe siyobe sesiphelile. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ngeke usafihlwa. Siyongena ezulwini elisha nomhlaba omusha. Asisekho isidingo sesitifiketi; ngoba sonke sizobheka iqiniso ngokwalo emehlweni. Konke lokhu kuzokwenzeka ekubuyeni kukaKristu.
Ngakho impilo yobuKristu ayikona ukuletha amandla ombuso kaNkulunkulu ukusebenza. Akuwona umsebenzi wethu ukuvala igebe phakathi kokuba ngokoqobo kwezwe elinesono kanye nesimo esihle sombuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Akukhona ngemizamo yethu kaSomandla lapho esusa khona ubuqiniso bendalo ephihliziwe, ephikiswayo futhi esikhundleni sayo afake umbono wezwe elisha. Cha, kunalokho kuyindaba yokuthi uJesu uyiNkosi yawo wonke amakhosi noMbusi wawo wonke amakhosi nokuthi umbuso wakhe - nakuba usafihliwe - ukhona ngempela futhi ngempela. Isikhathi samanje sezwe elibi sizodlula. Manje siphila, njengokungathi, kokungekona okungokoqobo, ekubonakalisweni okonakele, okuhlanekezelwe, okungamanga kwendalo kaNkulunkulu eyenziwe kahle, uKristu aseyitholile kabusha ngokuyibuyisela endleleni efanele, enqoba amandla obubi. Ngale ndlela, lingaphila ngokwenjongo yalo yasekuqaleni yokufeza icebo likaNkulunkulu lokugcina. Sibonga uKristu, yonke indalo izokhululwa ebugqilini futhi ukububula kwayo kuzophela (Roma 8,22). UKristu wenza konke kube kusha. Lelo yiqiniso elibaluleke kakhulu. Kodwa leli qiniso lisazodalulwa ngokugcwele. Kakade manje, sigqugquzelwa uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu, singanikeza ubufakazi, okwesikhashana nangesikhashana, kuzo zonke izici zokuphila maqondana nalelo qiniso lesikhathi esizayo, futhi ngokwenza lokho asifakazeli ngento engenzeka, futhi ngokuqinisekile ngeke. eyodwa esiyibonayo, kodwa kuKristu nobukhosi bakhe, obuyokwambulwa ngolunye usuku ekupheleleni. Leli qiniso liyithemba lethu elisemthethweni - leli esiphila kulo namuhla, njengoba senza nsuku zonke.
Isimo Somphakathi Nezombangazwe Kusho ukuthini lokhu ngezinga lomphakathi nezombusazwe kumaKristu avuma ukubusa kukaKristu futhi aphila ngethemba lombuso kaNkulunkulu ozayo? Isambulo seBhayibheli asiwusekeli umqondo “wokuthatha” komKristu kwanoma iyiphi inhlangano yezombusazwe, isizwe, noma isikhungo esingaphandle komphakathi wokukhulekela. Kodwa futhi ayikubizi ukungaphazanyiswa - okubonakala egameni elithi "ukwehlukana". UKristu washumayela ukuthi singahlali sodwa kuleli zwe elinesono nelonakele (Johane 17,15). Lapho edingiselwe ezweni angalazi, ama-Israyeli anikezwa umsebenzi wokunakekela imizi ayehlala kuyo9,7). UDaniyeli wakhonza uNkulunkulu phakathi kwesiko labahedeni futhi waba nesandla kulo, ngesikhathi esifanayo ethembekile kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. UPawulu usinxusa ukuba sithandazele uhulumeni futhi sihloniphe amandla omuntu akhuthaza okuhle futhi avimbele okubi. Usiyala ukuba silondoloze idumela lethu elihle ngisho naphakathi kwalabo abangakakholelwa kuNkulunkulu weqiniso. Lawa magama ayisixwayiso asho othintana nabo kanye nentshisekelo kuze kufike futhi okubandakanya ukuthatha isibopho njengesakhamuzi kanye nohlaka lwesikhungo - futhi hhayi ukuhlukaniswa okuphelele.
Imfundiso yeBhayibheli ibonisa ukuthi siyizakhamuzi zalesi sikhathi. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, imemezela ukuthi, okubaluleke kakhulu, siyizakhamuzi zombuso kaNkulunkulu. UPawulu uthi ezincwadini zakhe: “Anisezona izihambi nezihambi, kodwa niyizakhamuzi kanye nabangcwele nabendlu kaNkulunkulu.” ( Efesu 2,191) futhi uthi: “Kepha thina siyizakhamuzi zasezulwini; lapho silindele khona uMsindisi, iNkosi uJesu Kristu.” (Filipi 3,20). AmaKristu anobuzwe obusha ngokungangabazeki obandulela yonke into yezwe. Kodwa akuwasusi amalungelo ethu amadala omphakathi. Ngesikhathi eboshiwe, uPawulu akazange akuphike ukuba yisakhamuzi saseRoma, kodwa wakusebenzisa ukuze athole ukukhululwa. NjengamaKristu, sibona ubuzwe bethu obudala - ngaphansi kokubusa kukaKristu - buhlotshaniswa kakhulu nencazelo yakho. Nalapha futhi, sihlangabezana nenkinga eyinkimbinkimbi engasiholela ekuxazululeni ngokushesha noma ekwenzeni inkinga ibe lula. Kodwa ukholo, ithemba, kanye nothando kuyasiqondisa ukuba sibekezelele ubunzima ngenxa yokufakaza kwethu ngombuso kanye nobukhosi bukaKristu.
Ukuba yisakhamuzi kabili
Ngokulandela amazwibela kaKarl Barth emfundiso yeBhayibheli nokucabangela imfundiso yeBandla phakathi neminyaka, kungase kubonakale sengathi labo abangabakaKristu nombuso waKhe kulenkathi yamanje bangabamabandla amabili ahluke kakhulu ngasikhathi sinye. Sinezakhamuzi ezimbili. Lesi simo sezindaba esiyinkimbinkimbi sibonakala singenakugwenywa ngoba sihambisana neqiniso lokuthi kunezinkathi zezwe ezimbili eziphakeme, kodwa ekugcineni iyodwa kuphela, ezayo, iyobusa. Ngalinye lamalungelo ethu omphakathi linemisebenzi engenakugwenywa, futhi akunakuphikwa ukuthi lokhu kungase kungqubuzane. Ikakhulukazi, asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi akukho ntengo ezokhokhwa maqondana nesibopho salokho. Ngakho uJesu uyala abafundi bakhe: “Kodwa qaphelani! Ngoba bayakuninikela ezinkantolo, nibhaxabulwe emasinagogeni, niyiswe phambi kwababusi namakhosi ngenxa yami kube ngubufakazi kubo.” ( Marku 13,9). Izimo ezifanayo, ezibonisa lokho okwenzeka kuJesu ngokwakhe, zilandelwa kuyo yonke incwadi yezEnzo. Ngakho-ke ukungqubuzana phakathi kwamalungelo amabili omphakathi kungase kuphakame okungenakuxazululeka, uma kwenzeka, kuxazululwe ngokuphelele kulo mhlaba wamanje.
Ukuxhumanisa imisebenzi ephindwe kabili nesikhungo esisodwa seqiniso
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zemisebenzi kufanele zihlobane kanjani ngokufanele. Ngokuvamile akusizi ukubabheka njengabaqhudelanayo, ngisho noma ngezinye izikhathi bexabana. Akusizi futhi ukuzibona ngokulandelana kwezigaba, lapho kuhlale kugxilwa khona kuqala bese kuba nezisindo ezilandelayo, okusho ukuthi isenzo noma isinqumo sesibili noma sesithathu siqala ukusebenza ngemva kokuba izinto ezibalulekile sezithole ukunakwa okuphelele okufanele zibe nazo. Kulokhu, kubikela emisebenzini eminingi, uma kungeyona eminingi, egcina inganakiwe futhi inganakwa.
Ukwengeza, akunangqondo ukukhetha inqubo eguquliwe kancane, ehlelwe ngokomthetho, ngokusho ukuthi yiziphi izinto zesibili ezibhekwana nazo, njengokungathi, zikhishwe ezintweni eziza kuqala. Ngokwalolu hlelo, siqinisekisa ukuthi sithatha imisebenzi eyinhloko ngaphakathi kwepherishi ukuze siphinde senze ubulungiswa emisebenzini yesibili ngaphakathi kwepherishi, njengokungathi zizimele futhi zilandela imikhuba noma izindinganiso, izinjongo noma izinhloso zazo. lokho kunquma ukuthi umthwalo wemfanelo ubukeka kanjani ngaphandle kwebandla. Indlela enjalo iholela ekuhlukaneni okungabenzi ubulungiswa eqinisweni lokuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu usuvele ungenile kulo mhlaba futhi ngaleyo ndlela siphila, njengokungathi, sidlula phakathi kwezikhathi. Umbono wemisebenzi ebalulekile yobufakazi besonto uhlala unomphumela odala endleleni esibhekana ngayo nesibili, umphakathi wethu wezwe. Lezi zingxenye ezimbili zemisebenzi ziyedlulana, lapho ithemba lethu embusweni kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esizayo kanye nokufakaza kwethu, zonke izenzo zethu - noma ngabe lokhu sekubalulekile manje - umbuso kaNkulunkulu ngeke usahlala ufihliwe noma ungokwesimo sesibili. Uma kubhekwa ukubusa kukaKristu nobunye bokudalelwa uNkulunkulu athi kukho konke okudaliwe kanye nokupheleliswa kwakho konke ngaphansi kukaKristu njengeNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi, igama elithi uMninimandla onke liphakathi kwakho konke okungokoqobo - maphakathi nezwe. womabili la mabandla esikhonza kuwo 2 Zonke izenzo zomuntu kufanele zihlelwe, zihlelwe futhi zendlalwe enkonzweni yaleli phuzu eliyinhloko, futhi zisebenze nakulo. Bona uNkulunkulu Oziquntathu endaweni okugxilwe kuyo ochungechungeni lwemibuthano yonke eyabelana ngendawo eyodwa. UJesu Kristu nombuso wakhe wesikhathi esizayo uyisikhungo. Ibandla elikaKristu liyamazi futhi likhonza yena yedwa futhi limi enhliziyweni yesiyingi esizungeze isikhungo. IBandla liyasazi lesi sikhungo. Uyazi ngezici zombuso wesikhathi esizayo. Ithemba lakhe lisekelwe endaweni evikelekile, futhi unombono olungile wengqikithi yothando, yokulunga ekuhlanganyeleni kweqiniso kwabantu kuKristu. Inkonzo yakho iwukuveza leli phuzu eliphakathi nendawo nokubiza abanye ukuthi bangene kulo mbuthano ophakathi nendawo ngoba uwumthombo wempilo nethemba labo. Bonke kufanele babe bawo womabili amabandla! Isikhungo sobukhona bazo ngesikhathi esifanayo siyisizinda sobukhona besonto, ngisho noma umsebenzi wabo wokwethembeka usebenza kuphela futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke emphakathini ngomqondo obanzi. Ngokwesiphetho sakhe, uNkulunkulu kuKristu uyisizinda sayo yonke indalo futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuyo yomibili imiphakathi. UJesu Kristu uyiNkosi noMhlengi wayo yonke indalo - wawo wonke amandla negunya, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyakwazi noma cha.
Ipherishi yomphakathi ngaphandle kwesonto ingacatshangwa njengendilinga ezungezile eqhelelene nendingilizi engaphakathi yepherishi. Awazi lutho ngesikhungo, futhi alisiqapheli, futhi umsebenzi onikezwe uNkulunkulu awuhlanganisi ukusenza sibonakale. Inhloso yawo akukhona ukuthatha indima yepherishi noma ukuyishintsha (njengoba kwazanywa eJalimane lobuNazi futhi kwavunyelwa abaholi besonto lesifunda saseJalimane). Ibandla akumele, nokho, lithathe imisebenzi yalo njengebandla elikhulu, njengokungathi. Kodwa isifunda somphakathi endaweni ezungezile sinesikhungo esifanayo naso, futhi isiphetho saso siboshelwe ngokuphelele kuJesu; iNkosi iphezu kwaso sonke isikhathi nendawo, phezu kwawo wonke umlando nawo wonke amandla. Ibandla lomphakathi njengoba sazi ukuthi alizimele ngaphansi kwesikhungo esivamile, eqinisweni elifanayo eliphilayo ibandla eliqaphelayo futhi okusebenza kulo umsebenzi walo wokugcina wokwethembeka. UJesu nokubusa kwakhe kwesikhathi esizayo. Futhi yenza ubulungiswa kulo msebenzi ngokuzama ukunikeza isimo ngaphakathi kwalelo bandla elibanzi ezinhlelweni zesenzo, izinhlobo zobukhona kanye namathuba okuxhumana nomphakathi, okuthi - noma ngokungaqondile - kubhekisele kulelo qiniso elivamile, elimaphakathi. Lezi zinkomba zendlela yokuphila, ezitholakala emisebenzini ebanzi, zizothola ukunanela kwazo ekuziphatheni kwesonto noma ezihambisana nakho. Kodwa bazokwazi kuphela ukuyiveza ngokungaqondile, ngokungacacile, mhlawumbe kungakafinyeleli futhi hhayi ngaphandle kokungaqondakali. Nokho, lokho kulindelekile. Ibandla elibanzi alilona futhi akufanele libe yibandla. Kodwa kufanele iqhubeke izuza kuyo, njengoba amalungu ayo efuna ukuziphendulela kuyo naseNkosini.
Izimpawu eziqhathanisekayo zokulondolozwa nokuvikelwa
Ukuthi sihamba kulesi sikhathi samanje, sezwe elibi kuba sobala ikakhulukazi kulabo abakule ndawo ebanzi yokuphila kwabantu ababeka ithemba labo esikhathini esizayo sezwe futhi abazi futhi bakhulekele isikhungo esiphilayo. Izisekelo zemfundiso yenkolo kanye nemithombo yomoya yenhlanganyelo evulekile noNkulunkulu, sibonga uJesu Kristu, azizange zembulwe noma zenziwe ngokuzithandela ngaleyo misebenzi yomphakathi eyenziwa enkonzweni yomphakathi ozungezile. Kodwa imikhuba, izindinganiso, izimiso, imithetho, imithetho, ubunjalo kanye nemikhuba kuleyondawo ebanzi kungalethwa kancane kancane ekuvumelaneni noma, njengokungathi, kuhlanganiswe nokuphila uNkulunkulu asigcinele kona kuKristu. Ithonya lobuKristu lizoklanywa ukuba lihlanganise ngokuhlakanipha indawo ebanzi yomthwalo wemfanelo, lifune ukusebenzisa ngangokunokwenzeka ngawo wonke umzuzu wamanje amaphethini enhlangano, izimiso nezinqubo ezivumelana kakhulu nezinjongo nezindlela zikaNkulunkulu - izindlela okuthi ngelinye ilanga zifezeke. kwambulwa emhlabeni wonke. Singasho ukuthi isonto, ibandla elibanzi, lisebenza njengohlobo oluthile lukanembeza. Ifuna ukuvimbela ibandla elizungezile ukuba lisuke kude kakhulu nenhloso kaNkulunkulu necebo lakhe ngesintu. Futhi lokhu akufezi kuphela ngokushumayela kwakho, kodwa ngokubambisana komuntu siqu, ngokungangabazeki okungenakuba nakho ngaphandle kokukhokha inani lakho. Ngamazwi nangesenzo, usebenza njengesivikelo nomnakekeli, noma ngabe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe, izexwayiso nokuzibophezela kwakhe kushaywa indiva noma kwenqatshwa.
Vumela izimpawu ezingaqondile zethemba
Amalungu ebandla angacebisa indawo yawo yamasiko - njengohlobo lwamandla okushayela noma njengesibonelo esikhazimulayo - ngezinzuzo ezibonakalayo zomphakathi, kanye nangezinhlaka zenhlangano ezethulwayo nezokukhiqiza ezifunzwa ivangeli likaKristu. Kodwa lobo bufakazi buyokwazi kuphela ukusebenza njengesithenjwa esingaqondile, sisekela nje inkonzo eqondile nomyalezo webandla ophathelene noNkulunkulu kuKristu kanye nokuba khona nokuza kombuso wakhe. Le mizamo yokudala, esebenza njengezibonakaliso ezingaqondile, akufanele ithathe indawo yempilo yebandla noma umyalezo nomsebenzi walo oyinhloko. UJesu, uNkulunkulu noma imiBhalo Engcwele cishe ngeke kukhulunywe ngayo nhlobo. Umthombo ophakela le misebenzi awuvamile ukusho (uma kunjalo), nakuba i-aura kaKristu ixhunywe esenzweni noma ekufezeni. Kukhona imingcele ebufakazini obunjalo obungaqondile. Cishe zizobe zingacaci kahle uma ziqhathaniswa nobufakazi obuqondile kanye nomsebenzi weBandla. Imiphumela cishe izophenduka ihluke kakhulu kunaleyo yegama lesonto eliyisisekelo kanye nobufakazi. Kwesinye isikhathi iziphakamiso ezenziwa ngamaKristu, ezithinta okuhle kubo bonke, azamukelwa yizinhlaka zombuso noma ezizimele, imikhakha yethonya neziphathimandla, noma zinomphumela olinganiselwe kuphela. Khona-ke futhi, zingase zisetshenziswe ngezindlela ezithinta kakhulu umbuso kaNkulunkulu. Inkonzo ye-Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship, esebenza emajele esifunda nawesifundazwe, iyisibonelo esihle. Nokho, akunakwenzeka ukulinganisa ukuthi lingakanani ithonya elingagonyelwa. Ezinye izimpumelelo zingaba ezesikhashana ngokudumazayo. Kuzophinde kube nokwehluleka. Kodwa labo abemukela lobu bufakazi obungaqondile, obubonisa, nakuba kude, intando kaNkulunkulu kanye nemvelo, ngalokho kubhekiselwa enhliziyweni yalokho ibandla elikunikezayo. Ngakho-ke ubufakazi busebenza njengohlobo lokulungiselela ngaphambi kwevangeli.
Umsebenzi oyinhloko womphakathi ozungezile uwukuqinisekisa ukuhleleka okuhle nokulungile ukuze ibandla noma ikuphi ukwenza ubulungiswa emsebenzini walo obalulekile, ongokomoya njengomphakathi wezenkolo kanye namalungu alo akwazi ukuphila ngobufakazi bawo obungaqondile emphakathini obanzi. Izogxila kakhulu ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza komthetho nobulungiswa bomphakathi. Umgomo uzoba yinzuzo evamile. Ngakho-ke kuthathwa ukunakekelwa ukuze kungasetshenziswa ababuthakathaka ngabanamandla.
Kubonakala sengathi yilokho uPawulu ayecabanga ngakho lapho, njengoba sifunda kweyabaseRoma 13 , echaza imisebenzi efanele iziphathimandla zikahulumeni. Kungase futhi kubonise lokho uJesu ayekusho lapho ethi: “Nikani uKesari okukaKesari, noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu” ( Mathewu 2 )2,21), nalokho uPetru ayefuna ukukusho encwadini yakhe: “Zithobeni ngaphansi kwesimiso sonke sabantu ngenxa yeNkosi, noma kusenkosini njengombusi, noma kubabusi njengabathunywe yiyo ukuba bajezise abenzi bokubi, badumise labo ababi. abenza okuhle” (1. UPetrus 2,13-enye).
