Indlela eyodwa kuphela?
Ngezinye izikhathi abantu iyabacasula imfundiso yobuKristu yokuthi insindiso ivela ngoJesu Kristu kuphela. Emphakathini wethu oxubile, ukubekezelelana kulindelekile, kuyafunwa, futhi umqondo wenkululeko yenkolo (ukuvumela zonke izinkolo) ngezinye izikhathi uhunyushwa ngokungeyikho ngokuthi usho ukuthi ngandlela-thile zonke izinkolo ziyiqiniso ngokulinganayo. Zonke izindlela ziholela kuNkulunkulu ofanayo, abanye bathi, njengokungathi bayihambe yonke futhi babuya lapho beya khona. Abanakho ukubekezelela abantu abanengqondo encane abakholelwa ngendlela eyodwa kuphela, futhi bayakwenqaba ukushumayela ivangeli, isibonelo, njengomzamo omubi wokuguqula izinkolelo zabanye abantu. Kodwa bona ngokwabo bafuna ukuguqula izinkolelo zabantu abakholelwa ngandlelanye kuphela. Manje, kume kanjani - ingabe ivangeli lobuKristu lifundisa ukuthi uJesu ukuphela kwendlela yokusindiswa?
Ezinye izinkolo
Izinkolo eziningi zinezinkolelo zokuthi azihlukaniseki. AmaJuda angama-Orthodox athi anendlela yeqiniso. AmaSulumane athi anesambulo esihle kakhulu esivela kuNkulunkulu. AmaHindu akholelwa ukuthi alungile, futhi amaBuddha akholelwa kulokho akwenzayo, okungafanele kusimangaze - ngoba akholelwa ukuthi kulungile. Ngisho nabasebuningini besimanje bakholelwa ukuthi ubuningi bulungile kuneminye imibono.
Zonke izindlela aziyisa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa. Izinkolo ezihlukahlukene zize zichaze onkulunkulu abahlukahlukene. AmaHindu anonkulunkulu abaningi futhi achaza insindiso njengokubuyela ebuzeni - ngokuqinisekile indawo ehlukile kunokugcizelela kwamaSulumane kokukholelwa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa kanye nemivuzo yasezulwini. Akukhona umSulumane noma umHindu ongavuma ukuthi indlela yabo ekugcineni iholela emgomweni ofanayo. Babezolwa kunokuba bashintshe, futhi abashisekeli baseNtshonalanga bazokwehliswa njengabazehlisayo futhi abangenalwazi kanye necala kulawo nkolo labo abaxubile abangafisi ukucasula. Sikholelwa ukuthi ivangeli lobuKristu lilungile ngesikhathi esifanayo livumela abantu ukuthi bangalikholwa. Njengoba sikuqonda, inkolelo iphakamisa ukuthi abantu banenkululeko yokungakholelwa. Kodwa nakuba sinikeza abantu ilungelo lokukholelwa ngendlela abakhetha ngayo, lokho akusho ukuthi sikholelwa ukuthi zonke izinkolelo ziyiqiniso. Ukunikeza abanye abantu imvume yokukholwa ngendlela abathanda ngayo akusho ukuthi siyayeka ukukholelwa ukuthi uJesu uwukuphela kwendlela yokusindiswa.
Izimangalo ZeBhayibheli
Abafundi bakaJesu bokuqala basitshela ukuthi wayethi uwukuphela kwendlela eya kuNkulunkulu. Wathi uma ungangilandeli ngeke ube sembusweni kaNkulunkulu (Mathewu 7,26-27). Uma ngenqaba, ngeke ube nami kuze kube phakade (Mathewu 10,32-33). UJesu wathi uNkulunkulu unikeze iNdodana konke ukwahlulela ukuze bonke badumise iNdodana njengoba bedumisa uYise. Lowo ongayihloniphi iNdodana akamhloniphi uYise oyithumileyo (Joh 5,22-23). UJesu wathi uyindlela kuphela yeqiniso nensindiso. Abantu abamenqabayo futhi bayamenqaba uNkulunkulu. Mina ngiwukukhanya kwezwe (Joh 8,12), uthe. Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami. Uma beningazi, beniyakumazi nobaba (Johane 14,6-7). Abantu abathi zikhona ezinye izindlela zokusindiswa abalungile, kusho uJesu.
UPetru wacaca ngokufanayo lapho ethi kubaholi bamaJuda: ... Insindiso ayikho ngomunye, futhi alikho futhi elinye igama ngaphansi kwezulu elinikiwe phakathi kwabantu esimelwe ukusindiswa ngalo (Izenzo. 4,12). UPawulu wabuye wakucacisa lapho ethi abantu abangamazi uKristu bafile eziphambekweni nasezonweni zabo (Kwabase-Efesu 2,1). Abanalo ithemba futhi abanakho ukuxhumana noNkulunkulu naphezu kwezinkolelo zabo zenkolo (ivesi 12). Munye kuphela umlamuleli, wathi - inye kuphela indlela eya kuNkulunkulu (1. UThimothi 2,5). UJesu wayeyinhlawulo edingwa yiwo wonke umuntu (1. UThimothi 4,10). Uma wawukhona omunye umthetho noma enye indlela enikeza insindiso, uNkulunkulu ubeyokwenza lokho (Galathiya 3,21).
NgoKristu umhlaba ubuyisana noNkulunkulu (Kolose 1,20-22). UPawulu wabizelwa ukushumayela ivangeli kwabeZizwe. Inkolo yabo, wathi, yayiyize (Izenzo 1 Kor4,15). Njengoba kulotshiwe kumaHeberu, uKristu akangcono nje kunezinye izindlela, uyasebenza lapho ezinye izindlela zingekho (Hebheru 10,11). Kungumehluko konke noma lutho, akuwona umehluko wokusetshenziswa okuhlobene. Imfundiso yobuKristu yokusindiswa okukhethekile isekelwe emazwini kaJesu nasezimfundisweni zemiBhalo Engcwele. Lokhu kuhlobene eduze nokuthi uJesu ungubani kanye nesidingo sethu somusa. IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngendlela eyingqayizivele. NjengoNkulunkulu enyameni, wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ukuze sisindiswe. UJesu wathandazela enye indlela, kodwa ayizange ibe khona (Mathewu 26,39). Insindiso iza kithi kuphela ngoNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe eza emhlabeni womuntu ukuze ahlupheke ngemiphumela yesono, athathe inhlawulo, asikhulule kuso - njengesipho sakhe kithi.
Izinkolo eziningi zifundisa uhlobo oluthile lwemisebenzi njengendlela yokusindiswa - ukuthandaza okulungile, ukwenza izinto ezifanele, ngethemba lokuthi lokhu kuyokwanela. Bafundisa ukuthi abantu bangaba abahle ngokwanele uma bezikhandla ngokwanele. Kodwa ubuKristu bufundisa ukuthi sonke sidinga umusa ngoba asikwazi ukuba abalungile ngokwanele, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi senzani noma sizama kanzima kangakanani. Akunakwenzeka ukuba imibono yomibili ibe yiqiniso ngesikhathi esisodwa. Uthanda noma ungathandi, imfundiso yomusa ithi azikho ezinye izindlela eziya ensindisweni.
umusa wesikhathi esizayo
Kuthiwani ngabantu abafa bengezwanga ngoJesu? Kuthiwani ngabantu abazalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi sikaJesu ezweni eliqhele ngezinkulungwane zamakhilomitha? Ingabe unalo ithemba?
Yebo, ngoba ivangeli lobuKristu liyivangeli lomusa. Abantu basindiswa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, hhayi ngokubiza igama likaJesu noma ukuba nolwazi olukhethekile noma ifomula. UJesu wafela izono zomhlaba wonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abantu bayazi noma cha (2. AbaseKorinte 5,14; 1. UJohannes 2,2). Ukufa kwakhe kwaba inhlawulo yawo wonke umuntu - okwedlule, okwamanje, ikusasa, kumaPalestine kanye nakowaseBolivia.
Sigcwele ukuqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqinisile ezwini lakhe lapho ethi ufuna bonke beze ekuphendukeni (2. UPetrus 3,9). Nakuba izindlela nezikhathi zakhe ngokuvamile zingabonakali kithi, sisamethemba ukuthi uyabathanda abantu abadalile.
UJesu washo ngokucacile: “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngayo (Joh 3,16-17). Sikholelwa ukuthi uKristu ovusiwe wanqoba ukufa ngakho ngisho nokufa angeke kube isithiyo emandleni akhe okuholela abantu ukuba bathembele Kuye ukuze bathole insindiso. Ngokuqinisekile asazi ukuthi kanjani futhi nini, kodwa singalethemba izwi lakhe. Ngakho-ke, singakholelwa ukuthi ngandlela-thile uyobiza wonke umuntu owake waphila ukuba athembele kuye ukuze athole insindiso—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngaphambi kokuba bafe, ngehora lokufa, noma ngemva kokufa. Uma abanye abantu bephendukela kuKristu ngokholo ekwaHlulweni Kokugcina futhi ekugcineni bafunde lokho Abenzele kona, ngokuqinisekile ngeke abalahle.
Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abantu basindiswa nini noma bakuqonda kahle kangakanani, kungoKristu kuphela lapho bengasindiswa khona. Imisebenzi emihle eyenziwa ngokwethembeka ayisoze yasindisa muntu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abantu bakholwa ngobuqotho kangakanani ukuthi bangasindiswa uma bezama kanzima ngokwanele. Okuthi umusa nomhlatshelo kaJesu ekugcineni ofika kukho ukuthi akukho misebenzi emihle, yezenzo zenkolo, engasindisa umuntu. Uma indlela enjalo yayingaklanywa, uNkulunkulu wayeyoyenza (KwabaseGalathiya 3,21).
Lapho abantu beyifuna ngobuqotho insindiso ngemisebenzi, ngokuzindla, ngokuziqhenya, ngokuzidela, nanoma yiziphi ezinye izindlela zomuntu, bayothola ukuthi abafaneleki kuNkulunkulu ngemisebenzi yabo. Insindiso iza ngomusa nangomusa kuphela. Ivangeli lobuKristu lifundisa ukuthi akekho ongathola insindiso, kodwa itholakala kubo bonke. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyiphi indlela yenkolo umuntu abekuyo, uKristu angamsindisa kuyo futhi ammise endleleni yakhe. UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu yodwa eyanikela ngomhlatshelo wokuhlawulela okuwukuphela kwawo wonke umuntu owudingayo. Ungumzila oyingqayizivele womusa nensindiso kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu yilokho uJesu ngokwakhe akufundisa kuyiqiniso. UJesu ukhethekile futhi ubandakanya wonke ngesikhathi esisodwa - indlela ewumngcingo kanye nomsindisi womhlaba wonke - ukuphela kwendlela yensindiso, kodwa efinyeleleka kubo bonke.
Umusa kaNkulunkulu, esiwubona ngokuphelele kuJesu Kristu, uyilokho kanye wonke umuntu akudingayo, futhi izindaba ezinhle ukuthi utholakala mahhala kubo bonke abantu. Yizindaba ezinhle futhi okufanele ukwabelana ngazo - futhi lokho kuyinto ongacabanga ngayo.
