Ziningi izihloko ezingafanela intshumayelo yePhentekoste: UNkulunkulu uhlala kubantu, uNkulunkulu unikeza ubunye bomoya, uNkulunkulu unikeza ubuyena obusha, uNkulunkulu ubhala umthetho wakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu, uNkulunkulu ubuyisana nabantu kanye nokunye okuningi. Isihloko esisodwa esisabalele emqondweni wami ngilungiselela iPhentekoste kulo nyaka sisekelwe kulokho uJesu akusho ngalokho uMoya oNgcwele owawuzokwenza ngemva kokuvuswa kwakhe futhi waya ezulwini.
“Uyokwembula inkazimulo yami; ngokuba lokho ayakushumayela kini, uyakwamukeliswa yimi” (Johane 16,14 NGU). Kuningi kulowo musho owodwa. Siyazi ukuthi uMoya ongaphakathi kithi uyasebenza ukuze sikholwe ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi noMsindisi wethu. Siyazi futhi ngesambulo ukuthi uJesu ungumfowethu omdala osithanda ngokungenamibandela futhi osenze sabuyisana noBaba wethu. Enye indlela uMoya ogcwalisa ngayo lokho uJesu akusho ingokuphefumula kwakhe kokuthi singaqhubekisela phambili kanjani izindaba ezinhle ebudlelwaneni bethu nabanye.
Sibona isibonelo esihle salokhu lapho sifunda ngokuzalwa kweBandla leTestamente Elisha ngePhentekoste, ezinsukwini eziyishumi ngemva kokwenyukela kukaJesu ezulwini. UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuba balindele lolu suku nezenzakalo ezaziyokwenzeka ngalolo suku: “Esenabo, wabayala ukuba bangaphumi eJerusalema, kodwa balinde isithembiso sikaBaba, athi, enasizwa ngami.” 1,4).
Ngokulandela imiyalelo kaJesu, abafundi bakwazi ukufakaza ngokuza kukaMoya oNgcwele ngamandla akhe onke. Encwadini yeZenzo zabaPhostoli 2,1-13 kubikwa ngakho nangesipho abasithola ngalolo suku, njengoba nje uJesu ayebathembisile. Kwaqala kwaba khona umsindo womoya omkhulu, kwase kulandela izilimi zomlilo, kwase kuthi uMoya wabonisa amandla awo ayisimangaliso ngokunikeza abafundi isipho esikhethekile sokushumayela indaba kaJesu nevangeli. Abaningi, mhlawumbe bonke abafundi, bakhuluma ngokuyisimangaliso. Abantu ababeyizwile bamangala futhi bamangala ngendaba kaJesu ngoba babeyizwa ngolimi lwabo ivela kubantu ababethathwa njengabangafundile nabangafundile (baseGalile). Abanye esixukwini bahlekisa ngalezi zenzakalo, bethi abafundi babedakiwe. Abahleki abanjalo basekhona nanamuhla. Abafundi babengadakiwe ngokobuntu (futhi kungaba ukuhunyushwa okungeyikho kwemiBhalo ukusho ukuthi babedakiwe ngokomoya).
Amazwi kaPetru esixukwini esasibuthene siwathola encwadini yezEnzo zabaPhostoli 2,14-41. Wamemezela ubuqiniso balesi senzakalo esiyisimangaliso lapho imigoqo yolimi yasuswa ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo njengophawu lokuthi bonke abantu manje sebemunye ndawonye kuKristu. Njengophawu lothando lukaNkulunkulu ngabo bonke abantu nesifiso sakhe sokuba bonke, kuhlanganise nabantu bakwamanye amazwe nezizwe, babe ngabakhe. UMoya oNgcwele wenza lesi sigijimi senzeka ngezilimi zebele zalaba bantu. Ngisho nanamuhla, uMoya oNgcwele wenza ukuba izindaba ezinhle zikaJesu Kristu zidluliselwe ngezindlela ezifanele nezifinyeleleka kubo bonke. Wenza amakholwa avamile akwazi ukufakaza ngesigijimi sakhe ngendlela yokuthi afinyelele izinhliziyo zalabo uNkulunkulu ababizela kuye. Ngalokho uMoya oNgcwele ubhekisa abantu kuJesu, iNkosi yendawo yonke, owenza ukukhanya kukhanye kukho konke nakuwo wonke umuntu okulo mkhathi. Ku-Creed of Nicaea ngo-AD 325 BC sithola nje isitatimende esifushane ngoMoya oNgcwele: “Sikholelwa kuMoya oNgcwele”. Nakuba lesi sivumo sokholo sikhuluma kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu njengoYise noNkulunkulu njengeNdodana, akufanele siphethe ngokuthi ababhali balesi sivumokholo babengawunaki uMoya oNgcwele. Kunesizathu sokungaziwa okuhlobene komoya eSivumozweni SaseNicaea. Isazi sezenkolo uKim Fabricius ubhala kwenye yezincwadi zakhe ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uyilungu elizithobayo elingaziwa likaZiqu-zintathu. NjengoMoya oNgcwele kaYise neNdodana, akafuni udumo lwakhe, kodwa ulangazelela ukudumisa iNdodana, yona ekhazimulisa uYise. Umoya wenza lokhu, phakathi kokunye, lapho uphefumulela, usenza sikwazi futhi usiphelezele ukuthi siqhubeke futhi sifeze umsebenzi kaJesu emhlabeni wethu namuhla. NgoMoya oNgcwele, uJesu wenza umsebenzi onenjongo futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo usimema ukuba sihlanganyele kuwo ngendlela efanayo, isibonelo ngathi. ukwenza ubungane, ukukhuthaza, ukusiza kanye nokuchitha isikhathi nabantu njengoba enza (futhi usaqhubeka nanamuhla). Uma kuziwa emsebenzini, ungudokotela ohlinza inhliziyo futhi singabahlengikazi bakhe. Uma sibamba iqhaza kulo msebenzi ohlanganyelwe naye, sizoyizwa injabulo yalokhu akwenzayo futhi sifeze umsebenzi wakhe kubantu.” Akukho lutho emibhalweni yesiHeberu noma esikweni lenkolo yobuJuda bekhulu lokuqala obekungaba nabafundi phezu kwesiyingqayizivele. futhi ulungiselele ukufika okumangalisayo kukaMoya oNgcwele ngePhentekoste. Akukho lutho olufanekisweni lwenhlama yesinkwa (eyasetshenziswa amaJuda eMkhosini Wezinkwa Ezingenamvubelo) eyayingaholela abafundi kuMoya oNgcwele obenza bakhulume ngezinye izilimi ukuze bakwazi ukuveza izindaba ezinhle ngalolo suku ukuze badlule. kanye nokunqoba imingcele yolimi. Ngosuku lwePhentekoste, empeleni uNkulunkulu wenza into entsha. 2,16f.) - iqiniso elalibaluleke kakhulu futhi linengqondo kunesimangaliso sokukhuluma ngezilimi.
Emcabangweni wamaJuda, umqondo wezinsuku zokugcina wawuhlotshaniswa neziprofetho eziningi zeTestamente Elidala mayelana nokuza kukaMesiya nombuso kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho uPetru wathi kwase kusile isikhathi esisha. Sibiza isikhathi somusa neqiniso, inkathi yebandla, noma isikhathi sesivumelwano esisha eMoyeni. Kusukela ngePhentekoste, ngemva kokuvuka nokunyukela kukaJesu ezulwini, uNkulunkulu ubelokhu esebenza kulomhlaba ngendlela entsha, futhi iPhentekoste lisasikhumbuza leli qiniso namuhla. Asiligubhi iPhentekoste njengomkhosi omdala wesivumelwano noNkulunkulu. Ukugubha lokho uNkulunkulu asenzele kona ngalolo suku akuyona ingxenye yesiko lebandla - hhayi nje ihlelo lethu, kodwa namanye amaningi.
NgePhentekoste sigubha izenzo zokuhlenga zikaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina, lapho uMoya oNgcwele osebenza ngokujulile uvuselela, ushintsha futhi usihlomisela ukuba sibe abafundi bakhe. - Labo bafundi abaqhuba izindaba ezinhle ngamazwi nangezenzo, ngezindlela ezincane nangezinye izikhathi ezinkulu, konke ngenxa yenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu noMsindisi wethu - uYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele. Ngikhumbula isicaphuna esivela kuJohn Chrysostom. I-Chrysostom yigama lesiGreki elisho "umlomo wegolide". Lesi sidlaliso savela endleleni yakhe emangalisayo yokushumayela.
Wathi, “Impilo yethu yonke ingumkhosi. Lapho uPawulu ethi “Masigubhe umkhosi” (1. AbaseKorinte 5,7f.), wayengasho iPhasika noma iPhentekoste. Wathi njalo umkhosi amaKristu ... Ngokuba yini okuhle okungakenzeki kakade? INdodana kaNkulunkulu yaba yindoda kuwe. Wakukhulula ekufeni wakubiza embusweni. Awukaze uthole izinto ezinhle - futhi usazithola? Abangakwenza nje ukubamba umkhosi impilo yabo yonke. Ungashiyi muntu phansi ngenxa yobumpofu, izifo, noma ubutha. Kungumkhosi, yonke into - impilo yakho yonke! ”
