ULazaru nendoda ecebile - indaba yokungakholwa
Wake wezwa ukuthi labo abafa bengakholwa ngeke besakwazi ukutholwa nguNkulunkulu? Kuyimfundiso enesihluku futhi ebhubhisayo engafakazelwa yivesi elilodwa emfanekisweni wendoda ecebile noLazaru ompofu. Kodwa-ke, njengazo zonke izindima zeBhayibheli, lo mzekeliso usesimweni esithile futhi ungaqondakala kahle kuphela kulo mongo. Kuhlala kukubi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukusungula imfundiso evesini elilodwa - futhi ikakhulu uma kusendabeni enomyalezo oyinhloko ohluke ngokuphelele. UJesu walandisa umzekeliso wesicebi noLazaru ompofu ngezizathu ezimbili: esokuqala, ukusola ukwenqaba kwabaholi bakwa-Israyeli ukukholelwa kuye, kanti okwesibili, ukuphikisa inkolelo edumile yokuthi ingcebo iyisibonakaliso somusa kaNkulunkulu. yokungabi nabulungisa kwakhe.
Umfanekiso wendoda ecebile noLazaru ompofu ungowokugcina ochungechungeni lweminye emihlanu uJesu ayitshela iqembu labaFarisi nababhali abathi, behaha futhi benganakile, bacasulwa uJesu ukunakekela izoni futhi bahlanganyela esidlweni nabo. labo (Luka 15,1 futhi 16,14). Ngaphambi kwalokho wayesewusho umfanekiso wemvu elahlekile, wedenariyo elilahlekile nowendodana yolahleko. Ngalokhu, uJesu wayefuna ukukucacisela abathelisi nezoni, kanye nabaFarisi nababhali abathukuthele ababethi babengenasizathu sokuphenduka, ukuthi kuNkulunkulu ezulwini kunenjabulo eyengeziwe ngesoni esiqala ukuphila okusha kunokuphila okusha. phezu kwamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye abanye abangayidingi (Luka 15,7 Ibhayibheli lezindaba ezinhle). Kodwa akugcini lapho.
Imali kuqhathaniswa nonkulunkulu
Ngomfanekiso womphathi ongathembekile, uJesu ufika endabeni yesine (Luka 16,1-14). Umyalezo wabo oyinhloko uthi: Uma uthanda imali njengabaFarisi, ngeke umthande uNkulunkulu. Ephendukela kubaFarisi ngokuqondile, uJesu wathi: “Nina nizishaya abalungile kubantu; kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazazi izinhliziyo zenu; ngokuba lokho okuphakeme kubantu kuyisinengiso phambi kukaNkulunkulu (v. 15).
Umthetho nabaprofethi bayafakaza - ngakho amazwi kaJesu - ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile futhi wonke umuntu uyangena ngenkani kuwo ( izv. 16-17 ). Umyalezo wakhe ohlobene nalokhu uthi: Njengoba ukwazisa kakhulu lokho okubaluleke kakhulu abantu hhayi okujabulisa uNkulunkulu, wenqaba ubizo lwakhe oluvusa inkanuko - kanye nethuba - lokuthola ukungena embusweni wakhe ngoJesu. Evesini 18 kuvezwa - ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso - ukuthi abaholi bokholo bamaJuda balahla umthetho nabaprofethi ababebhekisele kuJesu futhi ngaleyo ndlela bahlubuka kuNkulunkulu (cf.Jeremiya 3,6). Evesini 19, elihlanganiswe emifanekisweni emine edlule, indaba yesicebi noLazaru ompofu iyaqala, njengoba uJesu ayisho.
Indaba yokungakholwa
Kukhona abalingiswa abathathu abaqavile endabeni: indoda ecebile (emele abaFarisi abahahayo), isinxibi esimpofu uLazaru (okubonisa lesosigaba senhlalo esasidelelwa abaFarisi) futhi ekugcineni u-Abrahama (osifubeni sakhe ezweni lamaJuda sisho induduzo kanye nenduduzo. Okufanekiselwa ukuthula kwelizayo).
Indaba isitshela ngokufa kwesinxibi. Kodwa uJesu uyamangaza izilaleli zakhe ngala mazwi: ... wathwalwa yizingelosi esifubeni sika-Abrahama (v. 22). Lokho kwakuphambene ncamashí nalokho abaFarisi ababengakucabanga endodeni enjengoLazaru, okungukuthi abantu abanjengalaba babempofu futhi begula ngenxa yokuthi babelahlwe nguNkulunkulu futhi ngenxa yalokho akukho okunye ngaphandle kokuhlushwa ngemva kokufa kwabo esihogweni okwakuyodingeka bafe. lindela. Kodwa uJesu ubafundisa kangcono. Umbono wakho awulungile impela. Babengazi lutho ngombuso kayise futhi babenephutha hhayi kuphela ngokubheka kukaNkulunkulu isinxibi, kodwa nangokuphathelene nokwahlulela kwakhe.
Khona-ke uJesu uletha ukumangala: Lapho isicebi sifa futhi singcwatshwa, sona - hhayi isinxibi - sasiyobhekana nokuhlushwa esihogweni. Ngakho yaphakamisa amehlo, yabona u-Abrahama ehlezi kude noLazaru eduze kwakhe. Yathi: ‘Baba Abrahama, ngihawukele, uthume uLazaru, agcobhoze isihloko somunwe wakhe emanzini, aphozise ulimi lwami; ngoba ngihlushwa ukuhlushwa kulamalangabi ( amav. 23 - 24 ).
Nokho, empeleni, u-Abrahama washo la mazwi endodeni ecebile: Konke ukuphila kwakho uye wathanda ingcebo futhi awubashiyelanga abantu abanjengoLazaru. Kodwa nginesikhathi sabantu abafana naye, futhi manje unami futhi awunalutho. - Bese kulandela ivesi elivame ukukhishwa ngaphandle kwengqikithi: Futhi ngaphandle kwalokho, kukhona igebe elikhulu phakathi kwenu nathi kangangokuthi akekho ofuna ukuwela eze kini evela lapha ongeza lapho, futhi akekho ongawela kithi. kusuka lapho (Luka 16,26).
Lapha nalaphaya
Wake wazibuza ukuthi kungani umuntu angafuna ukusuka lapha aye kuwe kwasekuqaleni? Kusobala ukuthi kungani umuntu kufanele adonselwe kithi evela lapho, kepha ukuzama ukwenza okuphambene akunangqondo - akunjalo? U-Abrahama waphendukela endodeni ecebile embiza ngendodana; wabe esethi ngisho nalabo abafuna ukuza kuye - ngenxa yegebe elikhulu - abakwazi ukwenza lokho. Isambulo esiyisisekelo sale ndaba ukuthi kukhona umuntu onqobe leli gebe ngenxa yezoni.
Ibhuloho elingaphezu komhosha
UNkulunkulu wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ngenxa yazo zonke izoni, hhayi nje ngenxa yalabo abanjengoLazaru, kodwa nangenxa yalabo abafana nesicebi (Johane. 3,16-17). Kodwa umbuso okukhulunywa ngawo emfanekisweni owawufanekisela abaFarisi nababhali abalahla uJesu, wayilahla iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Wafuna lokho okwakuhlala kuwumgomo wokuzama kwakhe: inhlalakahle yomuntu siqu ngokulahlekelwa abanye.
UJesu waphetha lendaba ngokucela indoda ecebileyo ukuthi kube khona oxwayisa abafowabo ukuze kungenzeki kubo. Kepha u-Abrahama wamphendula wathi: ‘BanoMose nabaprofethi; mabezwe (v. 29). UJesu, naye, wayeke waveza ngaphambili (cf. ivesi 16-17) ukuthi umthetho kanye nabaphrofethi bafakaza kuye - ubufakazi ukuthi yena nabafowabo, nokho, abazange bamukele (cf. Johane. 5,45-47 noLuka 24,44-enye).
Cha, ubaba u-Abraham, waphendula isicebi, uma omunye kwabafileyo eya kubo, bayophenduka6,30). U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi: “Uma bengalaleli uMose nabaprofethi, abayikuvunyiswa noma kungavuka umuntu kwabafileyo (v. 31).
Futhi abazange bakholiseke: AbaFarisi, ababhali nabapristi abakhulu abenze uzungu lokuba uJesu abethelwe nabo beza kuPilatu ngemva kokufa kwakhe futhi bambuza ukuthi amayelana nani amanga ovuko (Mathewu 2)7,62-66), futhi bathungatha, bashushisa, futhi babulala labo ababethi bayakholwa.
UJesu akazange asho lo mfanekiso ukuze asibonise izulu nesihogo ngokucacile ngangokunokwenzeka. Kunalokho, wavukela abaholi benkolo bangaleso sikhathi ababezivalele okholweni futhi bemelene nabacebile abanezinhliziyo ezilukhuni nobugovu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ukuze acacise lokhu, wasebenzisa imifanekiso evamile yolimi lwamaJuda ukuze amelele ukuphila kwakamuva (ngokubalekela esihogweni esigcinelwe ababi kanye nokuba kolungileyo esifubeni sika-Abrahama). Ngalo mfanekiso, akazange athathe isikhundla ekucaciseni noma ngokunemba kwezimpawu zamaJuda ngokuphathelene nokufa, kodwa wamane wasebenzisa lolo limi olubonwayo ukuze afanekise umlando wakhe.
Ukugxila kwakhe ngokuyinhloko kwakungekhona ngempela ukwanelisa ilukuluku lethu elishisekayo lokuthi kuyoba njani ezulwini nasesihogweni. Kunalokho, kuwukukhathazeka kwakhe ukuthi imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu yambulwe kithi (KwabaseRoma 16,25; Kwabase-Efesu 1,9 njll.), imfihlakalo yezikhathi zangaphambili (Efesu 3,4-5): ukuthi uNkulunkulu ngaye, uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaYise uMninimandla onke, uye wenza ukuba izwe libuyisane naye kusukela ekuqaleni.2. AbaseKorinte 5,19).
Ngakho-ke uma sibhekana ngokuyinhloko nemininingwane engaba khona emva kwalokhu, lokhu kungasiholela kude kakhulu nasolwazini okwakuvaliwe isicebi kuleyondaba: Kufanele futhi sikholwe kulowo owabuya kwabafileyo.
