UJesu, ukuphela kwendlela?
Abanye abantu bayenqaba inkolelo yobuKristu yokuthi insindiso itholakala kuphela ngoJesu Kristu. Emphakathini wethu oxubile ukubekezelelana kulindelekile, kuze kufuneke, futhi umqondo wenkululeko yenkolo, ovumela zonke izinkolo, ngezinye izikhathi uhunyushwa ngendlela yokuthi zonke izinkolo zigcine zilingana.
Zonke izindlela ziholela kuNkulunkulu oyedwa. Abanye abantu basho lokho njengokungathi bebevele besendleleni futhi manje sebebuyile lapho beya khona lolu hambo. Abantu abanjalo ababekezeleli labo bantu abanomqondo omncane abakholelwa ukuthi yinye kuphela indlela futhi benqaba ukuvangela. Phela bathi lokhu kuwumzamo omubi wokushintsha izinkolelo zabanye abantu. Kodwa bona ngokwabo bafuna ukushintsha izinkolelo zalabo bantu abakholelwa ngendlela eyodwa kuphela. Sekwenzenjani manje? Ingabe ukholo lobuKristu lufundisa ukuthi uJesu uwukuphela kwendlela eholela ensindisweni?
Ezinye izinkolo
Izinkolo eziningi zikhethekile. AmaJuda angama-Orthodox athi anendlela yeqiniso. AmaSulumane athi azi isambulo esihle kakhulu esivela kuNkulunkulu. AmaHindu akholelwa ukuthi aqinisile, futhi amaBuddha nawo ayakukholelwa lokho. Ngisho nobuningi besimanje bukholelwa ukuthi ubuningi bulungile kuneminye imibono.
Ngakho zonke izindlela aziyisa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa. Izinkolo ezihlukahlukene zize zichaze onkulunkulu abahlukahlukene. AmaHindu anonkulunkulu abaningana futhi achaza insindiso njengembuyiselo yokungabi nalutho. AmaSulumane, ngakolunye uhlangothi, agcizelela ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa kanye nemivuzo yasezulwini. Akekho umSulumane noma umHindu ongavuma, izindlela zabo ziholela emgomweni ofanayo. Bancamela ukulwa kunokuwushintsha lowo mcabango. Abantu abaningi basentshonalanga bazozibona njengabantu abazehlisayo nabangenalwazi. Kodwa ukuthukwa noma ukuhlaselwa izinkolo yikona kanye okufunwa ngabaningi. Sikholelwa ukuthi umlayezo wobuKristu ulungile futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo uvumela abantu ukuthi bangakholelwa kuwo. Njengoba sikuqonda, inkolelo idinga inkululeko ukuze abantu bangakholelwa kuyo. Kodwa ngisho noma silimelela ilungelo labantu lokukhetha lokho abakholelwa kukho, akusho ukuthi sikholelwa ukuthi zonke izinkolo ziyiqiniso. Ukuvumela abanye abantu ukuba bakholelwe kulokho abakufunayo akusho ukuthi kufanele siyeke ukukholelwa kukho, ngoba uJesu uwukuphela kwendlela yokusindiswa.
Izimangalo / izimangalo zeBhayibheli
Abafundi bakaJesu bokuqala basitshela ukuthi wathi wayewukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu. Wathi umuntu angeke abe sembusweni kaNkulunkulu uma engawulandeli (Mathewu 7,26-27) futhi asikho naye phakade uma simphika (Mathewu 10,32-33). UJesu washo nalokhu: “Ngokuba uYise akahluleli muntu, kepha unikele konke ukwahlulela eNdodaneni, ukuze bonke badumise iNdodana, njengokuba bedumisa uYise. Lowo ongayihloniphi iNdodana akamhloniphi uBaba oyithumileyo.” (Joh 5,22-23). UJesu wathi nguye yedwa indlela yeqiniso nensindiso futhi abantu abamenqabayo ngakho balahla uNkulunkulu.
KwaJohannes 8,12 uthi “Mina ngiwukukhanya kwezwe” nakuJohane 14,6-7 umi “[] Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze ngami. Lapho seningazi, niyomazi nobaba. Futhi kusukela manje kuqhubeke niyamazi futhi nimbonile.” UJesu ngokwakhe wathi abantu abathi zikhona ezinye izindlela zokusindiswa banephutha. UPetru wayecace ngendlela efanayo lapho ekhuluma nababusi abangamaJuda: “Futhi akukho nsindiso ngomunye, futhi alikho futhi elinye igama ngaphansi kwezulu elinikiwe phakathi kwabantu okumelwe sisindiswe ngalo.” ( IzEnzo , ) UPetru washo amazwi anjengalawa: 4,12).
UPawulu wakucacisa futhi lapho ethi abantu abangamazi uKristu bafile ngenxa yeziphambeko nezono zabo (Kwabase-Efesu 2,1). Babengenathemba futhi naphezu kwezinkolelo zabo zenkolo babengenaye uNkulunkulu (v. 12). Wathi munye umlamuleli, inye kuphela indlela eya kuNkulunkulu (1. UThimothi 2,5). UJesu wayeyinhlawulo edingwa yiwo wonke umuntu (1. UThimothi 4,10). Uma yayikhona enye indlela eholela ensindisweni, uNkulunkulu wayezoyidala (KwabaseGalathiya 3,21). NgoKristu umhlaba ubuyisana noNkulunkulu (Kolose 1,20-22). UPawulu wabizelwa ukusakaza izindaba ezinhle kwabeZizwe. Wathi inkolo yabo yayiyize4,15). Sekubhaliwe eNcwadini eya kumaHeberu ukuthi ayikho indlela engcono kunoKristu. Ngokuphambene nazo zonke ezinye izindlela, iyasebenza (Hebheru 10,11). Lokhu akuyona inzuzo ehlobene, kodwa kunalokho umehluko wonke noma lutho. Imfundiso yobuKristu yensindiso ekhethekile isekelwe kulokho uJesu ngokwakhe akusho nalokho iBhayibheli elisifundisa kona, futhi ihlobene eduze nokuthi ungubani uJesu kanye nesidingo sethu somusa.
Isidingo sethu somusa
IBhayibheli lithi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngendlela ekhethekile. UnguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ukuze sisindiswe. UJesu wathandazela enye indlela, kodwa yayingekho6,39). Sithola insindiso kuphela ngoba uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe wangena emhlabeni wabantu ukuze athwale imiphumela yesono futhi asikhulule kuso. Lesi yisipho sakhe kithi. Izinkolo eziningi zifundisa uhlobo oluthile lomsebenzi noma ukwenza njengendlela yensindiso - ukusho imithandazo efanele, ukwenza izinto ezifanele, futhi ngethemba lokuthi lokho kuyokwanela. Bafundisa ukuthi abantu bangaba abalungile ngokwanele uma bezama kanzima ngokwanele. Nokho, ukholo lobuKristu lusifundisa ukuthi sonke siyawudinga umusa ngoba kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sizama kanzima kangakanani, asisoze salungela ngokwanele.
Akwenzeki ngoba le mibono emibili ingaba yiqiniso ngesikhathi esisodwa. Imfundiso yomusa iyafundisa, noma siyathanda noma singathandi, ayikho enye indlela eya ensindisweni.
Umusa wesikhathi esizayo
Kuthiwani ngabantu abafa bengakezwa nokuzwa ngoJesu? Kuthiwani ngabantu abazalwa ngaphambi kokuba uJesu aphile? Ingabe nawe unalo ithemba? Yebo, bayakwenza. Impela ngoba ukholo lobuKristu luwukholo lomusa. Abantu basindiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu hhayi ngokubiza igama elithi Jesu noma ngokuba neVienna ekhethekile. UJesu wafela izono zomhlaba wonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kukhona owaziyo ngazo noma cha (2. AbaseKorinte 5,14; 1. UJohannes 2,2). Ukufa kwakhe kwaba umhlatshelo wenhlawulo yawo wonke umuntu, owedlule, wamanje kanye nekusasa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iPalestine noma iPeruvia. Singaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthembekile ezwini lakhe, ngoba kulotshiwe kanje: “Uyanibekezelela futhi akafuni ukuba kubhubhe noma ubani, kodwa ukuba wonke umuntu athole ukuphenduka” (2. UPetrus 3,9). Nakuba izindlela nezikhathi zakhe ngokuvamile kungaqondakali, siyamethemba ngoba uyabathanda abantu abadalile. UJesu wathi: “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe ezweni ukuba yahlulele izwe, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo.” ( Joh 3,16-enye).
Sikholelwa ukuthi uKristu ovukile wanqoba ukufa. Ngakho-ke ngisho nokufa akuwona umngcele phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. UNkulunkulu uyakwazi ukushukumisela abantu ukuba babeke insindiso yabo kuye. Asazi ukuthi kanjani futhi nini, kodwa singalethemba izwi lakhe. Ngakho-ke, singakukholelwa, njengoba ngandlela-thile uqondisa ngothando nangobuqotho wonke umuntu owake waphila noma oyoke aphile ukuze akholelwe kuye ukuze asindiswe, ngaphambi kokuba afe, phakathi noma ngemva kokufa kwakhe. Uma abanye abantu bephendukela kuKristu ngokukholwa ngosuku lokwahlulelwa kokugcina, noma okungenani befunda ngalokho abenzele kona, khona-ke ngokuqinisekile ngeke abafulathele.
Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abantu basindiswa nini nokuthi bayiqonda kahle kangakanani insindiso yabo, kusewuKristu kuphela abasindiswa ngaye. Izenzo nemisebenzi enenhloso enhle ayisoze yasindisa muntu, ngisho noma abantu bekholelwa kuyo ngobuqotho, ngoba uma izinhle ngokwanele, bayosindiswa. Umgomo womusa nomhlatshelo kaJesu usho ukuthi akukho zenzo ezinhle noma imisebenzi yezenkolo engasindisa noma ubani. Uma bekukhona indlela enjalo, uNkulunkulu ubezosenzela ukuthi kwenzeke nakithi (Galathiya 3,21). Uma abantu beye bazama ngobuqotho ukuthola insindiso ngokukhandleka, ukuzindla, ukuzidela, ukuzidela, noma ezinye izindlela, khona-ke bayofunda ukuthi imisebenzi nezenzo zabo azibazuzisi kuNkulunkulu. Insindiso iza ngomusa nangomusa kuphela. Inkolo yobuKristu ifundisa ukuthi umusa awufanele kodwa utholakala kuwo wonke umuntu.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyiphi indlela yenkolo abantu abayithathile, uKristu angabakhipha ezindleleni ezingalungile endleleni yakhe. UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu yodwa eyenza umhlatshelo wokuhlawulela kuphela awudingayo. Uyisithunywa esiyingqayizivele kanye nendlela efakaza ngomusa nensindiso kaNkulunkulu. UJesu ngokwakhe wakufakazela lokho. UJesu ukhethekile futhi ubandakanya wonke umuntu ngesikhathi esifanayo. Uyindlela eyingcingo noMhlengi womhlaba wonke. Iyona kuphela indlela eya ensindisweni kodwa ifinyeleleka kuwo wonke umuntu. Umusa kaNkulunkulu, ovezwe ngokuphelele kuJesu Kristu, uyilokho kanye wonke umuntu akudingayo futhi uyizindaba ezinhle njengoba zitholakala mahhala kubo bonke. Akuzona nje izindaba ezinhle, kodwa izindaba ezinhle okufanele zisakazwe. DKuwufanele ngempela ukucabanga ngakho.
