NoJesu enjabulweni nasosizini
Ingabe uyavuma ukuthi abezindaba sebefike ezingeni eliphansi lokucasula? Imidlalo ye-TV engokoqobo, uchungechunge lwamahlaya, izinhlelo zezindaba (iwebhu, i-TV nomsakazo), inkundla yezokuxhumana nezinkulumo mpikiswano zezombangazwe - konke kubonakala sengathi kuya ngokuya kunyanyisa. Bese kuba nabashumayeli abangathembekile abashumayela ivangeli lempumelelo ngezithembiso zalo ezingamanga zempilo nengcebo. Lapho ngibuza omunye wabalandeli balo mlayezo wamanga engxoxweni, kungani "imithandazo ethi-futhi-you-uthole-it-it" yale nhlangano ayizange iqede izinkinga eziningi kulo mhlaba (IS, Ebola, ezomnotho). izinkinga, njll.). Ngithole impendulo kuphela yokuthi ngizobacasula ngalo mbuzo. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ngiyakwazi ukucasuka ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa umbuzo wawuhloswe ngokungathí sina.
Izindaba ezinhle nguJesu, hhayi ingcebo
Ngesinye isikhathi ngicasulwa kakhulu lapho ngigula (okungenani yilokho okushiwo ngumkami, uTammy). Ngenhlanhla (sobabili) angiguli kaningi. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, esinye sezizathu salokhu ukuthi uTammy uthandazela impilo yami. Umthandazo unomphumela omuhle, kepha iVangeli Lokuchuma lithembisa ngamanga ukuthi uma ukholo luqine ngokwanele, umuntu ngeke agule. Iphinde ithi uma umuntu egula (noma enokuthile) kungenxa yokuthi umuntu akakholwa ngokwanele. Ukucabanga nokufundisa okunjalo kungukuhlanekezelwa kokholo nevangeli leqiniso likaJesu Kristu. Umngane wami wangitshela ngenhlekelele eyenzeka esemncane kakhulu. Ulahlekelwe ngodade ababili engozini yemoto. Cabanga nje indlela okumelwe ukuba uyise wazizwa ngayo lapho umsekeli wale mfundiso engamanga emtshela ukuthi amantombazane akhe amabili afa ngoba engakholwa ngokwanele! Ukucabanga okunjalo okunonya nokungalungile akubunaki ubukhona bukaJesu Kristu nomusa wakhe. UJesu uyivangeli - uyiqiniso elisenza sikhululeke. Ngokuphambene nalokho, i-Prosperity Gospel inobudlelwano bebhizinisi noNkulunkulu futhi ithi ukuziphatha kwethu kuthinta indlela uNkulunkulu asibusisa ngayo. Iphinde ithuthukise amanga okuthi inhloso yempilo yasemhlabeni ukugwema ukuhlupheka nokuthi inhloso kaNkulunkulu ukukhulisa injabulo yethu.
NoJesu osizini
Kuyo yonke iTestamente Elisha, uNkulunkulu ubiza abantu bakhe ukuthi babelane ngezinjabulo nosizi noJesu. Ukuhlupheka esikhuluma ngakho akukhona ukuhlupheka ngamaphutha angenangqondo noma izinqumo ezingalungile, noma ngokuba yizisulu zezimo noma ukuntula ukholo. Ukuhlupheka uJesu abhekana nakho nokuthi sizobhekana nakho kuleli zwe eliwile kuyindaba yenhliziyo. Yebo, uJesu wahlupheka emzimbeni, njengoba kufakazelwa amaVangeli, kepha ukuhlupheka akubekezelela ngokuzithandela kwaba ngumphumela wothando analo ngabantu. IBhayibheli liyakufakazela lokhu ezindaweni eziningi:
- “Kodwa ebona isixuku wafikelwa yizinhliziyo ngabo, ngoba babekhathele futhi bekhathele njengezimvu ezingenamalusi.” 9,36 I-Eberfeld Bible)
- “Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi nokhanda ngamatshe abathunywe kuwe! Kukangaki ngifuna ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatshwele aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso; kodwa anikufunanga!” ( Mathewu 23,37)
- “Zanini kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo; Ngifuna ukuniqabula. Bekani ijoka lami phezu kwenu, nifunde kimi; ngokuba ngimnene futhi ngithobekile ngenhliziyo; ngakho niyakufumana ukuphumula kwemiphefumulo yenu. Ngoba ijoka lami lihle, nomthwalo wami ulula.” ( Mathewu 11,28-30)
- “Kwathi esondela, wawubona umuzi, wawukhalela, wathi: ‘Sengathi nani nikwazi ngaleso sikhathi okuletha ukuthula! Kodwa manje kufihliwe emehlweni akho” (Luka 19,41-42)
- “Amehlo kaJesu agcwala izinyembezi.” (Joh 11,35)
Ukwabelana ngalolu thando lukaJesu lozwelo kubantu ngokuvamile kuholela ebuhlungwini nasekuhluphekeni, futhi ngezinye izikhathi lokho kuhlupheka kungase kujule kakhulu. Ukugwema ukuhlupheka okunjalo kuwukugwema ukuthanda abanye ngothando lukaKristu. Umgomo onjalo ungasenza sibe abathandi bokuzijabulisa abanobugovu, futhi yilokho kanye umphakathi wezwe okukhuthazayo: ukuzimosha—kufanele! Ivangeli lokuchuma lengeza kulo mbono omubi umkhuba obhalwe ngokungeyikho njengokholo, oklanyelwe ukuyenga uNkulunkulu ukuba agcwalise izifiso zethu zokuthakasela. Le mfundiso edabukisayo, yamanga esingakugwema ukuhlupheka ngokuyikhuza kakhulu ngegama likaJesu iphikisana nalokhu okwabhalwa umbhali wamaHeberu ngamaqhawe okholo (Hebheru 11,37-38): Lamadoda nabesifazane “bakhandwa ngamatshe, banqunywa phakathi, babulawa ngenkemba; bazulazula bembethe izikhumba zezimvu nezezimbuzi; bakhuthazelela ukuswela, nokuhlupheka, nokuphathwa kabi.” Akulotshwanga encwadini yamaHeberu ukuthi babentula ukholo, kodwa ukuthi babengabantu abanokholo olujulile—abantu abangalazisi izwe. Naphezu kokuhlupheka okukhulu, bahlala bethembekile, bengofakazi bakaNkulunkulu abazinikele kanye nokwethembeka Kwakhe ngezwi nangesenzo.
Landela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu
UJesu, ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuhlupheka kwakhe okukhulu kakhulu (okwandiswa isikhathi eside ngokuhlushwa nokubethelwa esiphambanweni) wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngininike isibonelo, ukuze nenze njengoba ngenzile kini” ( Johane 13,15). Ethatha izwi likaJesu, omunye wabafundi bakhe, uPetru, kamuva wabhala lokhu: “Ngokuba nabizelwa khona lokho, lokhu uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yenu, wanishiyela isibonelo, ukuze nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe.”1. UPetrus 2,21). Kusho ukuthini ngempela ukulandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu? Kufanele siqaphele lapha, ngoba isiyalo sikaPetru ngokuvamile sincane kakhulu futhi ngokuvamile asibandakanyi ukulandela uJesu ekuhluphekeni kwakhe (uPetru, ngakolunye uhlangothi, akusho ngokucacile). Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isiyalo sibanzi kakhulu. Asibizelwanga ukuba silingise zonke izici zokuphila kukaJesu. Njengoba singewona amaJuda asePalestine ekhulu lokuqala (njengoJesu), akudingekile ukuba sigqoke izimbadada, izembatho, namafilakteriyu ukuze silandele uJesu. Siyaqonda futhi (njengoba ingqikithi yesiyalo sikaPetru isikisela) ukuthi uJesu, njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wayenjalo, uhlukile futhi uhlala eyingqayizivele. Umoya, amagagasi, amademoni, ukugula, isinkwa nezinhlanzi kwalalela amazwi akhe njengoba enza izimangaliso ezimangalisayo ezaziqinisekisa ukuthi unguye uMesiya othenjisiwe. Ngisho noma singabalandeli bakhe, asibi nawo ngokuzenzakalelayo la makhono, Yebo, uPetru usibiza sonke ukuba silandele uJesu ngisho nasekuhluphekeni. Ku 1. UPetrus2,18-25 Wayetshela iqembu lezinceku ezingamaKristu ukuthi, njengabalandeli bakaJesu, kwakufanele lisabele kanjani ekuphathweni kabi elalikuthola. Ucaphuna umbhalo ku-Isaya 53 (bheka futhi 1. UPetrus 2,22;24; 25). Ukuthi uJesu wathunyelwa ngothando lukaNkulunkulu ukuba ahlenge izwe kusho ukuthi uJesu wahlupheka ngokungafanele. Wayemsulwa futhi waqhubeka enjalo ngenxa yempatho yakhe engenabulungisa. Akazange aphendule ngezinsongo noma ngodlame. Njengoba u-Isaya esho, “okungafunyanwanga nkohliso emlonyeni wakhe;
Ukuhlupheka ngokuthanda abanye
UJesu wahlupheka kakhulu, kepha akazange ahlupheke ngokuntula ukholo noma ukukholwa okungalungile. Ngokuphambene nalokho: weza emhlabeni ngothando - iNdodana kaNkulunkulu yaba ngumuntu. Ngenxa yokholo kuNkulunkulu nothando ngalabo insindiso yakhe eze emhlabeni, uJesu wakhuthazelela ukuhlupheka okungafanele futhi wenqaba ukulimaza ngisho nalabo ababemphatha kabi - lwaluphelele kakhulu uthando nokholo lwakhe. Uma silandela uJesu ekuhluphekeni ngoba sithanda abanye abantu, singaduduzeka ukuthi lokhu kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokulandela kwethu. Phawula la mavesi amabili alandelayo:
- “UJehova useduze nabadabukileyo enhliziyweni, uyabasindisa abanomoya odabukileyo” (IHubo 34,19)
- "Futhi bonke abafuna ukuphila ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu bamelwe ukuzingelwa." (2. UThimothi 3,12) Uma sibona abanye behlupheka ngozwela, sigcwaliswa ngomusa ngenxa yabo.
Lapho uthando lwethu nomusa kaNkulunkulu wenqatshwa, sizizwa sidabukile. Noma uthando olunjalo luyigugu ngoba lubhebhethekisa ukuhlupheka kwethu, asilubalekeli noma siyeke ukuthanda abanye njengoba uNkulunkulu ebathanda. Ukuhlupheka ukuze uthande ukuba ngufakazi othembekile kaKristu. Ngakho-ke silandela isibonelo sakhe futhi silandele ezinyathelweni zakhe.
NoJesu ngenjabulo
Uma sihamba noJesu, sizohlangana nabo bonke abantu naye ngothando olunesihawu, okungukuthi, sabelane naye ngokuhlupheka kwakhe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi - futhi lokhu kuyindida ngakho - futhi kaningi kuyiqiniso ukuthi sihlanganyela injabulo yakhe - injabulo yakhe yokuthi sonke isintu sihlengiwe kuye, ukuthi uxolelwe futhi umamukele othandweni lwakhe oluguqukayo futhi impilo. Yingakho kusho ukuthi uma simlandela ngenkuthalo, sihlanganyela naye injabulo nosizi naye ngokulingana. Lokho kungumongo womoya oqondiswa nokuphila kwebhayibheli. Akufanele siwele kuvangeli elingamanga elithembisa injabulo kuphela futhi alikho usizi. Ukubamba iqhaza kukho kokubili kuyingxenye yomsebenzi wethu futhi kubalulekile ebudlelwaneni bethu obuseduze neNkosi noMsindisi wethu onozwelo.
