Ukuvuka nokubuya kukaJesu Kristu

Encwadini yeZenzo zabaPhostoli 1,9 Siyatshelwa, “Esekushilo lokho waphakanyiswa emehlweni abo, ifu lamsusa phambi kwamehlo abo.” Ngingathanda ukubuza umbuzo olula kuleli phuzu: ngani? Kungani uJesu athathwa ngale ndlela? Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sifinyelele kulokho, ake sifunde amavesi amathathu alandelayo: “Kwathi bembuka enyukela ezulwini, bheka, kwakumi ngakubo amadoda amabili embethe izingubo ezimhlophe. Bathi: Madoda aseGalile, nimeleni lapho, nibheka ezulwini na? UJesu lo, onyuselwe ezulwini esuka kini, uyobuya futhi njengalokho nimbonile eya ezulwini. Ngakho babuyela eJerusalema besuka entabeni ethiwa iNtaba Yeminqumo, eseduze neJerusalema, kude ngesabatha.”

Le ndima ichaza izinto ezimbili: ukuthi uJesu wanyukela ezulwini nokuthi uyobuya futhi. Womabili amaqiniso abalulekile okholweni lobuKristu ngakho-ke agxilile, ngokwesibonelo, eSivumweni Sokholo Sabaphostoli. Okokuqala, uJesu wenyukela ezulwini. Usuku Lokukhuphuka lugujwa minyaka yonke ngemva kwezinsuku ezingu-40 ngemva kwePhasika, njalo ngoLwesine.

Iphuzu lesibili elichazwa yile ndima ukuthi uJesu uzobuya futhi ngendlela akhuphuka ngayo. Ngakho-ke, ngiyakholwa, noJesu walishiya leli zwe ngendlela ebonakalayo.

Kwakungaba lula ngoJesu ukwazisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi uya kuYise nokuthi wayezobuya futhi. Ngemva kwalokho, wayezomane anyamalale, njengoba ayenzile izikhathi eziningana ngaphambili. Ngaphandle kokuthi kulokhu ubengeke aphinde abonakale. Angikwazi ukucabanga nganoma yikuphi ukuthethelelwa kwemfundiso yenkolo yokuthi uJesu ahambe emhlabeni ngokusobala, kodwa wakwenza ukuze afundise abafundi bakhe futhi kanjalo nathi okuthile.

Ngokunyamalala ngokusobala emoyeni, uJesu wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi wayengeke nje anyamalale, kodwa wayeyokwenyukela ezulwini ukuze asilamulele ngakwesokunene sikaBaba njengomPristi Ophakeme waphakade futhi abeke izwi elihle. Njengoba omunye umbhali asho, "Ungummeleli wethu ezulwini." Sinothile ezulwini osiqondayo ukuthi singobani, ubuthakathaka bethu, nezidingo zethu ngoba ungumuntu. Ngisho nasezulwini ungumuntu ngokuphelele futhi unguNkulunkulu ngokugcwele.

Ngisho nangemva koKuphakama, kubhekiselwa kuye njengomuntu eBhayibhelini. Lapho uPawulu eshumayela kubantu base-Athene e-Areyophagu, wathi uNkulunkulu uyokwahlulela izwe ngomuntu ammisile futhi lowo muntu nguJesu Kristu. Lapho ebhalela uThimothewu, wambiza ngokuthi uKristu Jesu. Usengumuntu manje futhi usenomzimba. Umzimba wakhe wavuka kwabafileyo wamyisa ezulwini.

Lokhu kuholela embuzweni othi, ukuphi umzimba wakhe manje? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi uNkulunkulu, okuyo yonke indawo futhi ongaboshelwe emkhathini, endabeni nasesikhathini, abe nomzimba osendaweni ethile? Ingabe umzimba kaJesu Kristu usendaweni ethile endaweni yonke? Angazi. Angazi ukuthi uJesu wabonakala kanjani ngemva kweminyango evaliwe, futhi angazi ukuthi wenyukela kanjani ezulwini kungakhathaliseki amandla adonsela phansi. Ngokusobala imithetho yemvelo ayisebenzi emzimbeni kaJesu Kristu. Kusewumzimba, kodwa akunayo imikhawulo ebesingayinikeza umzimba.

Lokho namanje akuwuphenduli umbuzo wokuthi ukuphi umzimba wakhe manje. Akuyona futhi into ebaluleke kakhulu okufanele sikhathazeke ngayo! Kudingeka sazi ukuthi uJesu usezulwini, kodwa hhayi lapho kukhona izulu. Kubaluleke kakhulu kithi ukwazi ngomzimba kaJesu womoya - indlela uJesu asebenza ngayo lapha namanje emhlabeni phakathi kwethu, uyenza ngoMoya oNgcwele.

Lapho uJesu enyukela ezulwini nomzimba wakhe, wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi wayeyoqhubeka engumuntu noNkulunkulu. Lokhu kusiqinisekisa ngokuthi ungumpristi omkhulu owazi kahle ubuthakathaka bethu, njengoba kulotshiwe eNcwadini eya kumaHebheru. Ngokunyukela kwakhe ezulwini okubonakalayo, siyaqinisekiswa futhi ukuthi akamane anyamalale, kodwa uyaqhubeka esebenza njengompristi wethu omkhulu, umlamuleli nomlamuleli wethu.

Esinye isizathu

Ngokubona kwami, kunesinye isizathu esenza uJesu wasishiya ngokusobala. Watshela abafundi bakhe kuJohane 16,7 Okulandelayo: “Kodwa mina nginitshela iqiniso: Kuhle kini ukuthi ngihambe. Ngokuba uma ngimuka, uMduduzi kayikuza kini. Kodwa uma ngihamba, ngizomthumela kini.

Angazi ukuthi kungani, kodwa kubonakala sengathi uJesu kwadingeka anyukele ezulwini ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke iPhentekoste. Lapho abafundi bebona uJesu enyukela, base bethole isithembiso sokwamukela uMoya oNgcwele, ngakho kwakungekho ukudabuka, okungenani akukho okuchazwe eZenzweni zabaPhostoli. Kwakungekho ukudabuka ukuthi izinsuku ezimnandi zakudala noJesu wenyama negazi zase ziphelile. Okwedlule kwakungafihlwanga, kodwa ikusasa lalibhekwe ngokulangazela okujabulisayo. Kwakunenjabulo ezintweni ezinkulu uJesu azimemezela futhi azithembisa.

Uma siqhubeka nokufunda encwadini yeZenzo zabaPhostoli, sizothola umoya wokuthokoza phakathi kwabalandeli abayi-120. Bahlangana ndawonye, ​​bakhuleka, bahlela umsebenzi okwakumelwe wenziwe. Njengoba zazi ukuthi babenesabelo, bakhetha umphostoli omusha owayezongena esikhundleni sikaJuda Iskariyothe. Bayazi futhi ukuthi kwakuzodingeka amadoda ayishumi nambili ukuba amele u-Israyeli omusha uNkulunkulu ayehlela ukumakha. Babenomhlangano webhizinisi ngoba babenebhizinisi okufanele balenze. UJesu wayesewanike kakade umsebenzi wokuya emhlabeni njengofakazi bakhe. Kwadingeka nje balinde, njengoba abatshela, eJerusalema baze bagcwaliswe ngamandla avela phezulu futhi bathole umduduzi othenjisiwe.

Ukwenyuka kukaJesu kwakuwumzuzu wokushuba: abafundi balinda isinyathelo esilandelayo ukuze bandise imisebenzi yabo, ngoba uJesu wayebathembisile ukuthi bazokwenza ngisho nezinto ezinkulu ngoMoya oNgcwele kunoJesu uqobo.Ukwenyuka okubonakalayo okuvela kuJesu , ngakho-ke, kwakuyisithembiso sezinto ezinkulu.

UJesu wabiza uMoya oNgcwele ngokuthi "omunye uMduduzi." Kunamagama amabili asho "enye" ​​ngesiGreki. Enye isho "into efanayo" kanti enye isho "into ehlukile". UJesu wasebenzisa inkulumo ethi “into efana nayo.” UMoya oNgcwele ufana noJesu. UMoya uwubukhona bukaNkulunkulu uqobo hhayi nje amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo.

UMoya oNgcwele uyaphila futhi uyafundisa futhi ukhulume futhi wenze izinqumo. UMoya oNgcwele ungumuntu, umuntu waphezulu futhi uyingxenye kaNkulunkulu.UMoya oNgcwele ufana noJesu kangangokuthi singabuye sikhulume ngoJesu ophila kithi naseBandleni. UJesu wathi uhlala naye okholwayo futhi aphile kubani futhi yilokho kanye akwenza kumuntu kaMoya oNgcwele. UJesu wahamba, kodwa akasishiyanga sodwa. Wabuya ngoMoya oNgcwele ophila ngaphakathi kwethu, kodwa futhi uzobuya ngendlela engokwenyama nebonakalayo, futhi ngikholelwa ukuthi lesi isizathu esiyinhloko sokwenyukela kwakhe ezulwini okubonakalayo. Ngakho-ke akufiki kithi ukuthi sithi uJesu uselapha ngomfanekiso kaMoya oNgcwele futhi akufanele silindele okungaphezu kwalokho esinakho kakade.

Cha, uJesu ukwenza kucace ukuthi ukubuya kwakhe ngeke kube umsebenzi ongabonakali noyimfihlo. Kuzokwenziwa ngokucacile nangokucacile. Njengoba kubonakala njengokukhanya kwemini nokuphuma kwelanga. Kuyobonakala kuwo wonke umuntu, njengoba nje uKuphakama kwabonakala kuwo wonke umuntu eNtabeni Yeminqumo cishe eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule, iqiniso elisinika ithemba lokuthi singalindela okungaphezu kwalokho esinakho manje phambi kwethu. Manje sibona ubuthakathaka obuningi. Ubuthakathaka kithi, ebandleni lethu nasebuKristwini bubonke. Siyethemba ukuthi izinto zizoshintsha zibe ngcono futhi sinesithembiso sikaKristu sokuthi uzobuya ngendlela emangalisayo futhi alethe umbuso kaNkulunkulu omkhulu futhi onamandla kunalokho esingakucabanga. Ngeke ashiye izinto njengoba zinjalo manje.

Uyobuya ngendlela efanayo naleyo enyukela ngayo ezulwini: ngokubonakalayo nangokwenyama. Ngisho nemininingwane engingacabangi ukuthi ibalulekile kakhulu izoba khona: amafu. Njengoba nje yenyuka ngamafu, nayo iyobuya ngamafu. Angazi ukuthi amafu asho ukuthini; kubonakala sengathi amafu afanekisela izingelosi ezihamba noKristu, kodwa futhi kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungamafu angokoqobo. Lokhu ngikusho ngedlula kuphela. Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uKristu uzobuya ngendlela emangalisayo. Kuyoba khona ukukhanya, imisindo emikhulu, izimpawu ezimangalisayo elangeni nasenyangeni futhi wonke umuntu uzokubona. Ngokungangabazeki kuzobonakala futhi akekho ozokwazi ukusho ukuthi lokhu kwenzeka kwenye indawo. Akukho kungabaza ngakho, lezi zenzakalo ziyokwenzeka yonke indawo ngesikhathi esisodwa.” Lapho lokhu kwenzeka, uPawulu uyasitshela kuye 1. Incwadi eya kwabaseThesalonika, sizokhuphuka siyohlangabeza uKristu emafwini emoyeni. Lo mkhuba waziwa ngokuthi ukuhlwithwa futhi ngeke kwenzeke ngasese. Kuyoba ukuhlwithwa obala ngoba wonke umuntu angabona uKristu ebuyela emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke siyoba yingxenye yokwenyukela kukaJesu ezulwini, njengoba nje siyingxenye yokubethelwa, ukungcwatshwa nokuvuka kwakhe, nathi siyokhuphuka siyohlangabeza iNkosi lapho ifika futhi siyobuyela nayo emhlabeni.

Ingabe kuyawenza umehluko?

Asazi ukuthi kuzokwenzeka nini konke lokhu. Ngakho ingabe kuyawenza umehluko ezimpilweni zethu? Kumele. kwe 1. AbaseKorinte kanye 1. UJohane uyatshelwa ngakho. asi 1. UJohannes 3,2-3 ansehen: „Meine Lieben, wir sind schon Gottes Kinder; es ist aber noch nicht offenbar geworden, was wir sein werden. Wir wissen aber: wenn es offenbar wird, werden wir ihm gleich sein; denn wir werden ihn sehen wie er ist. Und ein jeder, der solche Hoffnung auf ihn hat, der reinigt sich, wie auch jener rein ist.“

UJohane ube eseqhubeka ethi amakholwa alalela uNkulunkulu futhi awafuni ukuphila impilo yesono. Lokho kuwumphumela ongokoqobo walokho esikholelwa kukho. UJesu uzobuya futhi sizofana naye. Lokhu akusho ukuthi imizamo yethu yokusisindisa noma icala lethu iyasiminzisa, kodwa ukuthi sivumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu yokungoni.

Der zweite biblische Rückschluss steht im ersten Korintherbrief. Nach den Erläuterungen über die Wiederkunft Christi und unsere Auferstehung in die Unsterblichkeit schreibt Paulus in folgendes: „Darum, meine lieben Brüder, seid fest, unerschütterlich und nehmt immer zu in dem Werk des Herrn, weil ihr wisst, dass eure Arbeit nicht vergeblich ist in dem Herrn“ (1. Korintherbrief 15,58).

Kunomsebenzi okufanele siwenze, njengoba nje nabafundi bokuqala babenomsebenzi okwakumelwe bawenze ngaleso sikhathi. Umyalo uJesu abanikeza wona, usinikeza nathi. Sithweswe icala lokushumayela nokushumayela izindaba ezinhle. Samukele uMoya oNgcwele ukuze senze lokho nje, asimi sibheka phezulu ezulwini futhi silindele uKristu. Futhi asilidingi iBhayibheli ukuze sithole iphuzu eliqondile lesikhathi. UmBhalo usitshela ukuthi singazi ukubuya kukaJesu. Kunalokho, sinesithembiso sokuthi uJesu uzobuya futhi lokho kufanele kusanele. Kukhona umsebenzi okufanele wenziwe. Siphonselwa inselelo ngobuntu bethu bonke kulo msebenzi. Ngakho-ke kufanele siphendukele kukho, ngoba ukusebenzela iNkosi akulona ize.
