UJesu - umhlatshelo ongcono

UJesu wafika eJerusalema okokugcina ngaphambi kokukhathazeka kwakhe, lapho abantu bamlungiselela khona indlela enesizotha yokungena bephethe amagatsha esundu. Wayezimisele ukunikela ngokuphila kwakhe njengomhlatshelo wezono zethu. Ake sijule nakakhulu kuleli qiniso elimangalisayo ngokuphendukela encwadini eya kumaHeberu, ebonisa ukuthi ubupristi obuphakeme bukaJesu bukhulu kunobupristi buka-Aroni.

1. Umhlatshelo kaJesu ususa isono

Thina bantu siyizoni ngokwemvelo, futhi izenzo zethu ziyakufakazela lokho. Liyini ikhambi? Imihlatshelo yeSivumelwano Esidala yasebenzela ukuveza isono futhi ikhombe esixazululweni esisodwa, emhlatshelweni ophelele nowokugcina kaJesu. UJesu ungumnikelo ongcono ngezindlela ezintathu:

Isidingo somhlatshelo kaJesu

“Ngokuba umthetho unesithunzi nje sezinto ezizayo, awusiyo uqobo lwazo. Ngakho-ke ungephelelise kuze kube phakade abanikelayo, ngokuba kufanele kwenziwe imihlatshelo efanayo iminyaka ngeminyaka. Uma kungenjalo, umhlatshelo ubungeke yini uphele ukube labo abenza inkonzo babehlanzeke kube kanye futhi bengasenanembeza ngezono zabo? Kunalokho, lokhu kusebenza kuphela njengesikhumbuzo sezono minyaka yonke. Ngoba akunakwenzeka ukususa izono ngegazi lezinkunzi nelezimbuzi.” (Heb. 10,1-4, LUTHO).

Imithetho eyamiswa nguNkulunkulu elawula imihlatshelo yeSivumelwano Esidala yayisebenza amakhulu eminyaka. Izisulu zingabonwa kanjani njengabaphansi? Impendulo ithi, uMthetho kaMose ‘wawunesithunzi kuphela sezinto ezizayo,’ hhayi umnyombo wezimpahla ngokwazo. Isimiso seSivumelwano Esidala sasingokwesikhashana, asizange sizuze lutho oluhlala njalo futhi lwalungahloselwe ukwenza kanjalo.Ukuphindaphindwa kwemihlatshelo usuku nosuku noSuku Lokuhlawulela unyaka nonyaka kukhombisa ubuthakathaka bemvelo bawo wonke. uhlelo.

Umhlatshelo wezilwane wawungeke neze ulisuse ngokuphelele icala lomuntu. Nakuba uNkulunkulu athembisa intethelelo kubahlabeleli abathembekile ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esidala, lokhu kwakumane kuyisimbozo sesikhashana esonweni hhayi ukususwa kwecala ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Ukube lokhu kwenzekile, abahlabeleli kwakungeke kudingeke benze imihlatshelo eyengeziwe eyayisebenza njengesikhumbuzo sesono. Imihlatshelo eyayinikelwa ngoSuku Lokuhlawulela yayivala izono zesizwe; kodwa lezi zono azizange “zigezwe,” futhi abantu abatholanga ubufakazi bangaphakathi bokuthethelelwa nokwamukelwa nguNkulunkulu. Kwakusekudingeka umhlatshelo ongcono kunegazi lezinkunzi nelezimbuzi, owawungenakususa izono. Umhlatshelo kaJesu ongcono kuphela ongakwenza lokho.

Ukuzimisela kukaJesu ukuzidela

“Ngakho-ke esefika ezweni uthi: Anithandanga imihlatshelo neminikelo; kodwa ungilungisele umzimba. Iminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yesono ayikuthokozisi. Ngase ngithi: Bheka, ngiyeza, kulotshiwe ngami encwadini, ukuba ngenze intando yakho, Nkulunkulu. Okokuqala wayethe: “Awuthandanga imihlatshelo neminikelo, iminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yesono, futhi awuyithandi,” enikelwa ngokomthetho. Kodwa wayesethi, “Bheka, ngiyeza ukwenza intando yakho.” Bese echitha esokuqala, ukuze amise esesibili.” (Hebheru 10,5-enye).

KwakunguNkulunkulu, hhayi noma yimuphi umuntu, owenza umhlatshelo odingekayo. Isisho sikwenza kucace ukuthi uJesu uqobo ungukugcwaliseka kwemihlatshelo yesivumelwano esidala. Lapho kwenziwa umhlatshelo ngezilwane, kwakubizwa ngokuthi imihlatshelo, kuyilapho imihlatshelo yezithelo zasensimini yayibizwa ngokuthi iminikelo yokudla neyokuphuza. Wonke afanekisela umhlatshelo kaJesu futhi abonisa izici ezithile zomsebenzi wakhe wokusindiswa kwethu.

Umusho othi “kodwa ungilungisele umzimba” ubhekisela kuHubo 40,7 futhi uhunyushwa ngokuthi: “Uzivulile izindlebe zami.” Inkulumo ethi “izindlebe ezivulekile” imelela ukuzimisela ukuzwa nokulalela intando kaNkulunkulu . INdodana yakhe yayiwumzimba womuntu ukuze igcwalise intando kaYise emhlabeni.

Ukucasuka kukaNkulunkulu ngemihlatshelo yeSivumelwano Esidala kuvezwa kabili. Lokhu akusho ukuthi le mihlatshelo yayingalungile noma ukuthi amakholwa aqotho awazange azuze kuyo. UNkulunkulu akathokozi ngemihlatshelo enjalo, ngaphandle kwezinhliziyo ezilalelayo zabanikelayo. Akukho mnikelo ongakanani ongathatha indawo yenhliziyo elalelayo!

UJesu weza ukuzogcwalisa intando kaBaba. Intando yakhe ngeyokuthi iSivumelwano Esisha sithathe indawo yeSivumelwano Esidala. Ngokufa nokuvuka kwakhe, uJesu ‘waqeda’ isivumelwano sokuqala ukuze amise esesibili. Abafundi bokuqala bamaJudeo namaKrestu balencwadi bayiqonda incazelo yalenkulumo eshaqisayo - kungani bebuyela esivumelwaneni esasuswa?

Ukuphumelela komhlatshelo kaJesu

“Ngenxa yokuthi uJesu Kristu wagcwalisa intando kaNkulunkulu futhi wanikela ngomzimba wakhe siqu njengomhlatshelo, manje sesingcwelisiwe kwaba kanye” (Heb. 10,10 NGU).

Amakholwa “angcweliswa” (okusho ukuthi “ahlukaniselwe ukusetshenziswa ngokwaphezulu”) ngomhlatshelo womzimba kaJesu, owethulwa kanye unomphela. Asikho isisulu seSivumelwano Esidala esenze lokhu. Esivumelwaneni esiDala, abanikela imihlatshelo kwakumele “bangcweliswe” ngokuphindaphindiwe ekungcolisweni kwabo okungokomthetho.” Kodwa “abangcwele” beSivumelwano Esisha ekugcineni “behlukaniselwe” ngokuphelele-hhayi ngenxa yokufaneleka kwabo noma imisebenzi yabo, kodwa ngenxa yokulunga kwabo. umhlatshelo kaJesu ophelele.

2. Umhlatshelo kaJesu awudingi ukuphindwa

“Yilowo nalowo mpristi umi e-altare imihla ngemihla ukuba enze inkonzo yakhe, enikela ngokuphindwe kangenakubalwa imihlatshelo efanayo engenakususa izono. UKristu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngemva kokunikela ngomhlatshelo owodwa wezono, uye wahlala phakade endaweni yodumo ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, kusukela ngaleso sikhathi elindele ukuba izitha zakhe zenziwe isenabelo sezinyawo zakhe. Ngoba ngalomhlatshelo owodwa uye wabakhulula ngokuphelele naphakade bonke abavuma ukungcweliswa nguye emaphutheni abo. NoMoya oNgcwele uyakuqinisekisa lokhu kithi. EmBhalweni (Jer. 31,33-34) lithi kuqala: “Isivumelwano esizayo engiyakusenza nabo siyakuba kanje: ngiyakubeka imithetho yami ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngiyilobe ekujuleni kwabo. Bese iqhubeka ithi: “Ngeke ngiphinde ngizikhumbule izono zabo noma ukweqa kwabo imiyalo yami.” Kepha lapho zithethelelwe izono, awukho omunye umhlatshelo odingekayo kubo.” (Heb. 10,11-18 NGÜ).

Umbhali wamaHeberu uqhathanisa umpristi omkhulu weSivumelwano Esidala noJesu, umPristi Omkhulu weSivumelwano Esisha. Iqiniso lokuthi uJesu wahlala phansi njengoYise ngemva kokunyukela kwakhe ezulwini liwubufakazi bokuthi umsebenzi wakhe wawusuphelile. Ngokuphambene, inkonzo yabaphristi besiVumelwano esiDala ayizange iphele, babenikela imihlatshelo efanayo usuku nosuku.Lokhu kuphindaphinda kwakuwubufakazi bokuthi imihlatshelo yabo yayingazisusi izono. Lokho amashumi ezinkulungwane emihlatshelo yezilwane ayengenakukufeza, uJesu wakufeza phakade nangomhlatshelo wakhe owodwa ophelele.

Inkulumo ethi “[UKristu] … uhlezi phansi” ibhekisa kuHubo 110,1: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami ngize ngibeke izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo sezinyawo zakho!” UJesu usekhazinyulisiwe manje usethathe indawo kaMnqobi, uma ebuya uzonqoba zonke izitha alethe ukugcwala kombuso uYise Labo abathembela kuye manje akudingeki besabe, ngoba ‘benziwe baphelela kuze kube phakade’ ( Heb. 10,14). Ngempela, amakholwa athola “ukugcwala kuKristu” (Kolose 2,10). Ngokuhlangana kwethu noJesu sima phambi kukaNkulunkulu njengabaphelele.

Sazi kanjani ukuthi sinalesi sikhundla phambi kukaNkulunkulu? Abahlabeli beSivumelwano Esidala babengenakusho ukuthi ngeke kusadingeka “bazizwe beqaphela izono zabo.” Kodwa amakholwa eSivumelwano Esisha angasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ngeke esazikhumbula izono zabo nobubi ngenxa yalokho uJesu akwenza. Ngakho “awusekho umhlatshelo wesono.” Ngoba awusekho isidingo somhlatshelo ‘lapho zithethelelwe izono.

Uma siqala ukuthembela kuJesu, sithola iqiniso lokuthi zonke izono zethu zithethelelwe kuye nangaye. Lokhu kuvuka kukamoya, okuyisipho esivela kuMoya kithi, kususa yonke imizwa yecala. Ngokukholwa siyazi ukuthi indaba yesono ixazululiwe ingunaphakade, futhi sikhululekile ukuphila ngokufanele. Ngale ndlela ‘siyangcweliswa.

3. Umhlatshelo kaJesu uvula indlela eya kuNkulunkulu

Ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esidala, akukho kholwa elalingaba nesibindi sokungena eNgcwelengcwele etabernakele noma ethempelini. Ngisho nompristi omkhulu wayengena kuphela kuleli gumbi kanye ngonyaka. Ikhethini eliwugqinsi elalihlukanisa iNgcwelengcwele neNgcwele lalisebenza njengomgoqo phakathi kwabantu noNkulunkulu. Kufa kukaKristu kuphela okwakungadabula lelikhethini kusukela phezulu kuye phansi (Marku 15,38) futhi uvulele abantu indlela yokungena endlini engcwele yasezulwini lapho kuhlala khona uNkulunkulu. Ecabanga ngalawa maqiniso, umlobi wamaHeberu manje udlulisela lesi simemo sobubele esilandelayo:

“Ngakho manje, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, sinokungena ngokukhululekile nokungavinjwanga endlini engcwele kaNkulunkulu; UJesu wasembulela lona ngegazi lakhe. Ngekhethini - lokho kusho ngokuqondile: ngomhlatshelo womzimba wakhe - wavula indlela engakaze ithathwe muntu ngaphambili, indlela eholela ekuphileni. Futhi sinompristi omkhulu oyedwa ongaphansi kwakhe yonke indlu kaNkulunkulu. Kungakho sifuna ukuza phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokuzinikela okungenakuhlukaniswa nokwethemba okugcwele nokuzethemba. Sifafazwe ngegazi likaJesu ngaphakathi kwethu futhi ngalokho sikhululiwe kunembeza wethu ogcwele icala; sigezwa ngamanzi ahlanzekile emzimbeni wonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sifuna ukubambelela ngokungagwegwesi ethembeni esilivumayo; ngoba uNkulunkulu uthembekile futhi uyasigcina isithembiso sakhe. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi nathi sinesibopho komunye nomunye, sifuna ukukhuthazana ukuba sibonise uthando futhi senze okuhle komunye nomunye. “Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuba singahlali emihlanganweni yethu, njengoba abanye sebejwayele ukwenza, kodwa sikhuthazane, ikakhulukazi njengoba, njengoba nibona, usuku lokubuya kweNkosi lusondela.” (Heb. . 10,19-25 NGÜ).

Isibindi sethu sokungena eNgcwelengcwele, size ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, sincike emsebenzini osuphelile kaJesu, umPristi wethu oMkhulu. NgoSuku Lokubuyisana, umPristi Omkhulu Wesivumelwano Esidala wayengangena kuphela eNgcwelengcwele eThempelini ngokunikela ngegazi lomhlatshelo (Heb. 9,7). Kodwa asikweleti ukungena kwethu ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ngegazi lesilwane, kodwa ngegazi likaJesu elachitheka. Lokhu kufinyelela mahhala ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu kusha futhi akuyona ingxenye yeSivumelwano Esidala, esichazwa ngokuthi “esiphelelwe yisikhathi nesiphelelwe yisikhathi” futhi “maduze” sizoshabalala ngokuphelele, okusikisela ukuthi amaHeberu alotshwa ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kweThempeli ngo-70 AD. Indlela entsha yeSivumelwano Esisha ibizwa nangokuthi “indlela eholela ekuphileni” (Heb. 10,22), ngoba uJesu “uphila kuze kube phakade futhi akasoze ayeka ukusikhulumela.” ( Heb. 7,25). UJesu ngokwakhe uyindlela entsha nephilayo! UyiSivumelwano Esisha esenziwe samuntu.

Siza kuNkulunkulu ngokukhululeka nangokuqiniseka ngoJesu, uMpristi wethu Omkhulu phezu ‘kwendlu kaNkulunkulu. “Siyindlu le, uma sibambelela ngokuqinile ethembeni uNkulunkulu asinika lona, ​​elisigcwalisa ngokujabula nokuzigqaja.” (Heb. 3,6 NGU). Njengoba umzimba wakhe wafela ukholo esiphambanweni futhi ukuphila kwakhe kwaba umhlatshelo, uNkulunkulu wadabula ikhethini ethempelini, efanekisela indlela entsha nephilayo evuleleka kubo bonke abathembela kuJesu. Lokhu kuthembela sikubonisa ngokuphendula ngezindlela ezintathu, njengoba kuchazwe umlobi wamaHeberu njengesimemo esinezingxenye ezintathu:

Asihlanganyele

Ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esidala, abapristi babengasondela ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ethempelini kuphela ngemva kokugeza okuhlukahlukene okungokwesiko. Ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esisha, sonke sinokungena ngokukhululekile kuNkulunkulu ngoJesu ngenxa yokuhlanzwa kwengaphakathi (inhliziyo) okufezwe esintwini ngokuphila kwakhe, ukufa, ukuvuka, nokwenyuka kwakhe. KuJesu “sifafazwa ezinhliziyweni zethu ngegazi likaJesu” futhi “imizimba yethu igezwa ngamanzi ahlanzekile.” Ngenxa yalokho, sinenhlanganyelo egcwele noNkulunkulu; ngakho siyamenywa ukuba “sisondele” - ngokuba okwethu kuKristu, ngakho masibe nesibindi, sibe nesibindi, sigcwale ukukholwa.

Asibambe singanyakazi

Abafundi bokuqala bamaJuda namaKrestu amaHeberu balingeka ukuba balahle isivumo sabo ngoJesu ukuze babuyele ohlelweni lweTestamente Elidala lokukhonza kwamakholwa angamaJuda. Ubizo kubo ukuthi “babambe baqine” alukho mayelana nokubambelela ngokuqinile ensindisweni yabo, elondekile kuKristu, kodwa “ngokubambelela ethembeni” abalivumayo. Lokhu ungakwenza ngokuqiniseka nangokukhuthazela ngoba uNkulunkulu uthembisile ukuthi siyothola usizo esiludingayo ngesikhathi esifanele (Heb. 4,16), “uthembekile” futhi uyakugcina akuthembisile. Uma amakholwa egcina ithemba lawo ligxile kuKristu futhi ethembela ekwethembekeni kukaNkulunkulu, ngeke antengantenge. Masibheke phambili ngethemba futhi sithembele kuKristu!

Masingayishiyi imihlangano yethu

Ukwethemba kwethu njengamakholwa kuKristu ukungena ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu akuvezwanga mathupha kuphela kodwa futhi ngokuhlanganyela. Kungenzeka ukuthi amaKristu angamaJuda ayehlangana namanye amaJuda esinagogeni ngeSabatha abese ehlangana emphakathini wamaKristu ngeSonto. Balingeka ukuba bahlukane nomphakathi wobuKristu. Umlobi wamaHebheru ubatshela ukuthi bangakwenzi lokhu futhi ukhuthazana ukuba baqhubeke beya emihlanganweni.

Ukuhlanganyela kwethu noNkulunkulu akufanele neze kube okokuzicabangela thina. Sibizelwe ukuhlanganyela namanye amakholwa emasontweni endawo (njengawethu). Okugcizelelwa lapha kumaHeberu akukhona kulokho ikholwa elikutholayo ngokuya esontweni, kodwa kulokho alinikelayo ngokucabangela abanye. Ukuqhubeka bekhona emihlanganweni kuyabakhuthaza abafowethu nodadewethu kuKristu futhi kubakhuthaze ukuba ‘bathandane futhi benze okuhle. Isisusa esinamandla salokhu kubekezela ukufika kukaJesu Kristu. Kunendawo yesibili kuphela lapho igama lesiGreki elisho “ukubuthana” lisetshenziswe eTestamenteni Elisha, futhi lokho kuphakathi 2. Thesalonika 2,1, lapho lihunyushwa ngokuthi “kubuthelwe (NGÜ)” noma “umhlangano (LUT)” futhi libhekisela ekubuyeni kukaJesu ekupheleni kwenkathi.

Izwi lokugcina

Sinazo zonke izizathu zokuba nethemba eligcwele lokuqhubekela phambili okholweni nasekukhuthazeleni. Kungani? Ngoba iNkosi esiyikhonzayo ingumnikelo wethu wokugcina - Umnikelo Wakhe kithi wanele kukho konke esikudingayo. UmPristi wethu Ophakeme ophelele nonamandla onke uyosiletha emgomweni - uyohlale enathi futhi asiholele ekupheleleni.
