Ubani le ndoda?
UJesu uqobo wabuza abafundi bakhe umbuzo wokuthi ngubani, okufanele sikhathaleke ngaye lapha: “Abantu bathi iNdodana yomuntu ingubani?” Kusabalulekile kithi nanamuhla: Ubani le ndoda? Ngabe unegunya lini? Kungani kufanele simethembe? UJesu Kristu uyisizinda sokholo lobuKristu. Kufanele siqonde ukuthi ungumuntu onjani.
Ngabantu ngokuphelele - nokuningi
UJesu wazalwa ngendlela evamile, wakhula ngokujwayelekile, walamba, woma, wakhathala, wadla, waphuza, walala. Wayebukeka evamile, ekhuluma ulimi oluvamile, ehamba evamile. Wayenemizwa: isihawu, intukuthelo, ukumangala, ukudabuka, ukwesaba (Math. 9,36; Luka 7,9; UJohane 11,38; Izibalo. 26,37). Wathandaza kuNkulunkulu ngendlela abantu okufanele bathandaze ngayo. Wazibiza ngendoda kuthiwe uyindoda. Wayengumuntu.
Kodwa wayengumuntu ongavamile kangangokuthi ngemva kokunyuka kwakhe abanye baphika ukuthi wayengumuntu (2. Johane 7). Babecabanga ukuthi uJesu ungcwele kangangokuthi babengakholelwa ukuthi wayehlangene nenyama, ukungcola, umjuluko, ukugaya ukudla, ukungapheleli kwenyama. Mhlawumbe “wayevele” kuphela engumuntu, njengoba ngezinye izikhathi izingelosi zibonakala njengomuntu ngaphandle kokuba zibe umuntu.
Ngokuphambene, iTestamente Elisha likwenza kucace: UJesu wayengumuntu ngomqondo ophelele waleli gama. UJohane uyaqinisekisa: “ULizwi waba-yinyama . . . 1,14). Akazange nje “abonakale” njengenyama futhi akagcinanga nje “embathe” enyameni. Waba yinyama. UJesu Kristu “eza enyameni” (1. UJohane 4,2). Siyazi, kusho uJohannes, ngoba sambona nangenxa yokuthi samthinta (1. UJohane 1,1-enye).
NgokukaPawulu, uJesu waba “njengabantu” (Fil. 2,7), “Kwenziwe ngaphansi komthetho” (Gal. 4,4), “ngesimo senyama enesono” (Rom. 8,3). Lowo oweza ukuzohlenga umuntu kwakufanele abe ngumuntu, kusho umlobi weNcwadi eya kumaHeberu: “Ngenxa yokuthi abantwana sebeyinyama negazi, naye ukwamukele ngokulinganayo ... Ngakho-ke kwakufanele abe njengabafowabo. kukho konke "(2,14-enye).
Insindiso yethu imile noma iwela ngokuthi uJesu wayekhona ngempela - futhi unjalo. Indima yakhe njengommeli wethu, umphristi wethu omkhulu, iyama noma iwela ngokuthi ngabe uke wabhekana yini nezinto zomuntu (Heb. 4,15). Ngisho nangemva kokuvuswa kwakhe, uJesu wayenenyama namathambo ( Joh. 20,27, 2; Luk. 4,39). Nasenkazimulweni yasezulwini waqhubeka engumuntu (1. Isikhathi. 2,5).
Yenza njengoNkulunkulu
“Ubani yena?” babuza abaFarisi lapho bebona uJesu ethethelela izono. “Ngubani ongathethelela izono ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu yedwa?” (Luk. 5,21Isono siyicala kuNkulunkulu; Umuntu angakhulumela kanjani uNkulunkulu futhi athi izono zakho zisuliwe, zesuliwe? Lokho kungukuhlambalaza, bathi. UJesu wayeyazi indlela ababezizwa ngayo ngakho futhi wayesazithethelela izono. Waze wabonisa nokuthi yena ngokwakhe wayekhululekile esonweni (Joh. 8,46).
UJesu wathi uyohlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu ezulwini - esinye isimangalo ukuthi abapristi bamaJuda bakuthola ukuhlambalaza6,63-65). Wayethi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu - lokhu futhi kwakuwukuhlambalaza, kwashiwo, ngoba kulelo siko lokho kwakusho ukuvukela kuNkulunkulu (Joh. 5,18; I-19,7). UJesu wathi uvumelana ngokuphelele noNkulunkulu kangangokuthi wenza lokho uNkulunkulu ayekufuna kuphela (Joh. 5,19). Wathi umunye nobaba (10,30), abapristi abangamaJuda nabo ababeyibheka njengenhlamba (10,33). Wayethi unjengoNkulunkulu kangangokuthi noma ubani owayembona wayeyobona uBaba4,9; 1,18). Wathi angawuthumela uMoya kaNkulunkulu6,7). Wathi wayekwazi ukuthumela izingelosi (Math. 13,41).
Wayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli wezwe futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ethi uNkulunkulu wayemnike isahlulelo (Joh. 5,22). Wathi uyakwazi ukuvusa abafileyo, kuhlanganise naye ngokwakhe (Joh. 5,21; 6,40; 10,18). Wathi ukuphila okuphakade kwawo wonke umuntu kuncike ebuhlotsheni bakhe naye, uJesu (Math. 7,22-23). Wacabanga ukuthi amazwi kaMose ayedinga ukwengezwa (Math. 5,21-48). Wazibiza ngeNkosi yeSabatha – umthetho awunikwe nguNkulunkulu! (Math. 12,8Uma “wayengumuntu kuphela,” lokho bekuyoba imfundiso yokugabadela, nesono.
Nokho uJesu wasekela amazwi akhe ngemisebenzi emangalisayo. “Kholwani yimi ukuthi ngikuBaba, noBaba ukimi; uma kungenjalo, kholwani yimi ngenxa yemisebenzi” (Johane 14,11). Izimangaliso azikwazi ukuphoqa muntu ukuthi akholwe, kodwa zisengaba "ubufakazi obuqinile" obuqinile. Ukuze abonise ukuthi unegunya lokuthethelela izono, uJesu welapha indoda eyayife uhlangothi (Luka 5:17-26). Izimangaliso zakhe zifakazela ukuthi lokho akusho ngaye kuyiqiniso. Unamandla angaphezu kwawomuntu ngoba ungaphezu komuntu. Izimangalo ngabo - nakho konke okunye ukuhlambalaza - noJesu kwakusekelwe eqinisweni. Wayekwazi ukukhuluma njengoNkulunkulu futhi enze njengoNkulunkulu ngoba wayenguNkulunkulu enyameni.
Isithombe sakhe
UJesu wayebazi ngokucacile ukuthi ungubani. Ngeshumi nambili wayesevele enobudlelwane obukhethekile noBaba waseZulwini (Luk. 2,49). Lapho ebhapathizwa wezwa izwi livela ezulwini lithi: “Wena uyindodana yami ethandekayo (Luk. 3,22). Wayazi ukuthi unomsebenzi okufanele awufeze (Luk. 4,43; 9,22; I-13,33; I-22,37).
Esabela emazwini kaPetru, “Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo!” UJesu waphendula: “Ubusisiwe wena Simoni kaJona; ngokuba inyama negazi akukwambulelanga lokhu, kepha uBaba osezulwini ”(Math. 16, 16-17). UJesu wayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. WayenguKristu, uMesiya—ogcotshwe uNkulunkulu ukuba enze umsebenzi okhethekile.
Ngenkathi ebiza abafundi abayishumi nambili, munye esizweni ngasinye sakwa-Israyeli, akazibalanga phakathi kwabayishumi nambili. Wayephezu kwabo ngoba wayephezu kwabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli. Wayengumsunguli nomakhi ka-Israyeli omusha. Esakramente waziveza ukuthi uyisisekelo sesivumelwano esisha, ubuhlobo obusha noNkulunkulu. Wayezibona njengogxila kulokho okwenziwa uNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
Ngesibindi uJesu wagxeka amasiko, imithetho, ithempeli neziphathimandla zezenkolo. Ucele abafundi bakhe ukuthi bashiye konke futhi bamlandele, bambeke kuqala ezimpilweni zabo, bathembeke ngokuphelele kuye. Wayekhuluma ngegunya likaNkulunkulu - futhi ngasikhathi sinye wayekhuluma negunya lakhe.
UJesu wayekholelwa ukuthi iziprofetho zeTestamente Elidala zazigcwaliseka kuye. Wayeyinceku ehluphekayo eyayizofa ukuze isindise abantu ezonweni zabo (Isaya 53,4-5 & 12; Izibalo. 26,24; Maka. 9,12; Luka 22,37; 24, 46). WayeyiNkosi yokuthula owayezongena eJerusalema egibele imbongolo (Sak. 9,9-10; Izibalo. 21,1-9). WayeyiNdodana yoMuntu okufanele inikezwe wonke amandla negunya (Dan. 7,13-14; Izibalo. 26,64).
Impilo yakhe ngaphambili
UJesu wathi waphila ngaphambi kuka-Abrahama futhi waveza lokhu “kuphelelwa yisikhathi” ngendlela evamile: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Engakaveli u-Abrahama, mina ngikhona” (Joh. 8,58th). Abapristi bamaJuda baphinde bakholwa ukuthi uJesu wayethatha izinto zaphezulu lapha futhi wayefuna ukumkhanda ngamatshe (v. 59). Inkulumo ethi "nginguye" izwakala kanjalo 2. mose 3,14 lapho uNkulunkulu embula khona igama lakhe kuMose: “Kufanele uthi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: [Yena] ‘Nginguye’ ungithumile kini” ( Elberfeld translation). UJesu uzithathela leli gama lapha.UJesu uyaqinisekisa ukuthi “ngaphambi kokuba izwe libe khona”, wayesevele ehlanganyela inkazimulo noYise (Johane 1)7,5). UJohane usitshela ukuthi wayevele ekhona ekuqaleni kwesikhathi: njengoLizwi (Joh. 1,1).
Futhi nakuJohane sifunda ukuthi “zonke izinto” zenziwa ngezwi (Joh. 1,3). Ubaba wayengumhleli, igama elingumdali owafeza okwakuhleliwe. Konke kwadalwa nguye futhi kwadalelwa yena (Kolose 1,16; 1. AbaseKorinte 8,6). amaHebheru 1,2 uthi uNkulunkulu “wenza umhlaba” ngeNdodana.
KumaHeberu, njengasencwadini eya kwabaseKolose, kuthiwa iNdodana “ithwala” indawo yonke, ukuthi “ikhona” kuyo (Heb. 1,3; AbaseKolose 1,17). Zombili zisitshela ukuthi “ungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali” (Kolose 1,15), “umfanekiso wobuntu bakhe” ( Heb. 1,3).
Ubani uJesu UnguNkulunkulu owaba yinyama. Ungumdali wazo zonke izinto, umbusi wokuphila (Izenzo zabaPhostoli 3,15). Ubukeka njengoNkulunkulu, unenkazimulo njengoNkulunkulu, unamandla amakhulu atholwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela. Akumangalisi ukuthi abafundi baphetha ngokuthi ungowaphezulu, uNkulunkulu enyameni.
Kufanele ukukhulekelwa
Ukukhulelwa kukaJesu kwenzeka ngendlela engaphezu kweyemvelo (Math. 1,20; Luka 1,35). Waphila engoni nakanye (Heb. 4,15). Wayengenasici, engenasici (Heb. 7,26; 9,14). Akenzanga sono (1. uPeter 2,22); kwakungekho sono kuye (1. UJohane 3,5); wayengazi lutho ngesono (2. AbaseKorinte 5,21). Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isilingo sasinamandla kangakanani, uJesu wayehlale enesifiso esinamandla sokulalela uNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi wakhe kwakuwukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu (Heb.10,7).
Ezikhathini ezimbalwa, abantu babekhonza uJesu (Math. 14,33; I-28,9 Iminyaka engu-17; Joh. 9,38). Izingelosi azikuvumeli ukukhonzwa (Isambulo 19,10), kodwa uJesu wakuvumela. Yebo, izingelosi nazo zikhonza iNdodana kaNkulunkulu (Heb. 1,6). Eminye imithandazo yayiqondiswe kuJesu ngqo (IzE.7,5I-9-60; 2. AbaseKorinte 12,8; IsAmbulo 22,20).
ITestamente Elisha lidumisa uJesu Kristu ngendlela ephakeme ngokungavamile, ngezindlela ezivamile ezigcinelwe uNkulunkulu: “Inkazimulo mayibe kuyo kuze kube phakade naphakade! Amen"(2. Isikhathi. 4,18; 2. uPeter 3,18; IsAmbulo 1,6). Unesiqu esiphezulu sombusi esinganikezwa (Efe. 1,20-21). Uma simbiza ngoNkulunkulu, lokho akulona ihaba kakhulu.
KusAmbulo uNkulunkulu neWundlu bayadunyiswa ngokufanayo, okubonisa ukulingana: “Kuye ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi nakulo iWundlu makube yindumiso nodumo nodumo namandla kuze kube phakade naphakade! 5,13). Indodana kufanele ihlonishwe njengobaba (Joh. 5,23). UNkulunkulu noJesu babizwa ngokulinganayo ngokuthi u-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho sakho konke. 1,8 Iminyaka engu-17; 21,6; I-22,13).
Izindima zeTestamente Elidala ezikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu zivame ukufakwa eTestamenteni Elisha zisetshenziswe kuJesu Kristu.
Enye yezinto eziphawuleka kakhulu yile ndima ekhulekelwa:
“Kungakho futhi uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa futhi wamnika igama elingaphezu kwawo wonke amagama, ukuze egameni likaJesu bonke abasezulwini nabasemhlabeni nabangaphansi komhlaba bakhothame futhi zonke izilimi zivume, ukuze uJesu UKristu uyiNkosi, kube inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba ” (Fil. 2,9-11; kukhona ukucaphuna okuvela ku-Isa. 4th5,23 ziqukethe). UJesu unikezwa udumo nenhlonipho u-Isaya athi kufanele inikezwe uNkulunkulu.
U-Isaya uthi munye kuphela uMsindisi - uNkulunkulu ( Isaya 43:11; 45,21). UPawulu usho ngokucacile ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguMsindisi, kodwa futhi ukuthi uJesu unguMsindisi (Tit. 1,3; 2,10 futhi 13). Ingabe ukhona uMsindisi noma ababili? AmaKristu okuqala aphetha ngokuthi uBaba nguNkulunkulu futhi uJesu unguNkulunkulu, kodwa munye kuphela uNkulunkulu futhi ngenxa yalokho munye kuphela uMsindisi. UBaba neNdodana empeleni bamunye (uNkulunkulu), kodwa bangabantu abehlukene.
Ezinye izindimana zeTestamente Elisha nazo zibiza uJesu ngoNkulunkulu. UJohane 1,1: “UNkulunkulu wayeyizwi.” Ivesi 18: “Akakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; okuwukuphela kwakhe onguNkulunkulu osesiswini sikaYise, nguyena owamemezela yena kithi.” UJesu unguMuntu onguNkulunkulu osazisa uBaba (yena). Ngemva kokuvuswa kukaTomase waqaphela ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu: “UTomasi waphendula, wathi kuye: Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!” ( Joh. 20,28, . )
UPawulu uthi okhokho babebakhulu ngoba kubo “uKristu uvela ngokwenyama, onguNkulunkulu ophezu kwakho konke, odunyiswa kuze kube phakade. Amen” (Rom. 9,5). Encwadini eya kumaHebheru, uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe ubiza indodana ngokuthi “Nkulunkulu” lapho ecaphuna khona: “‘Nkulunkulu, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi simi kuze kube phakade naphakade. . . ” ( Heb. 1,8).
“Ngoba kuye [uKristu],” kusho uPawulu, “kukho konke ukugcwala kobuNkulunkulu ngokomzimba” (Kol.2,9). UJesu Kristu unguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele futhi nanamuhla "usenesimo somzimba". Ungumfanekiso oqondile kaNkulunkulu - uNkulunkulu owenziwe inyama. Ukube uJesu ubengumuntu nje, bekungaba akulungile ukuthembela kuye. Kodwa njengoba engowaphezulu, siyalwa ukuba simethembe. Uthembekile ngokungenamibandela ngoba unguNkulunkulu.
Kodwa-ke, kungadukisa ukusho ukuthi “uJesu unguNkulunkulu” kube sengathi la magama womabili ayashintshana noma ayafana. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uJesu wayebuye abe ngumuntu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, uJesu akayena uNkulunkulu “ophelele”. "UNkulunkulu = uJesu", lesi sibalo sinamaphutha.
Ezimweni eziningi, “uNkulunkulu” usho ukuthi “uYise,” ngakho-ke iBhayibheli alivamile ukuqamba uJesu ngokuthi uNkulunkulu. Kepha leli gama lingasetshenziswa ngokufanele kuJesu, ngoba uJesu ungokobunkulunkulu. NjengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ungumuntu kunkulunkulu ongubathathu emunye. UJesu unguMuntu kaNkulunkulu okwakhiwa ngaye ukuxhumana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu.
Kithina, ubunkulunkulu bukaJesu bubaluleke kakhulu, ngoba kuphela lapho engobuNkulunkulu lapho angasambulela khona uNkulunkulu ngokunembile (Joh. 1,18; I-14,9). NguMuntu kaNkulunkulu kuphela ongasithethelela izono zethu, asihlenge, abuyisane noNkulunkulu. UMuntu kaNkulunkulu kuphela ongaba umgomo wethu wokholo, iNkosi esithembeke kuyo ngokuphelele, uMsindisi esimhlonipha ngengoma nangomthandazo.
Bonke abantu, bonke uNkulunkulu
Njengoba kungabonakala kwizethenjwa ezikhonjiwe, "umfanekiso kaJesu" weBhayibheli usatshalaliswa ngamatshe amatshe kulo lonke iTestamente Elisha. Isithombe asihambisani, kepha asitholakali endaweni eyodwa. Isonto lokuqala kwakudingeka likubeke ndawonye kusuka kumabhuloki akhona akhona. Esambulweni seBhayibheli wathola iziphetho ezilandelayo:
• UJesu unguNkulunkulu.
• UJesu ungumuntu.
• Munye kuphela uNkulunkulu.
• UJesu ungumuntu kuloNkulunkulu.
UMkhandlu WaseNicaea (325) wasungula ubunkulunkulu bukaJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kanye nobuyena bakhe noYise (Isivumo Sokholo saseNicaea).
UMkhandlu waseChalcedon (451) wengeze ngokuthi naye uyindoda:
“INkosi yethu uJesu Kristu iyiNdodana eyodwa futhi efanayo; ophelele ofanayo kokukaNkulunkulu futhi ophelele ngokufanayo kumuntu, uNkulunkulu ngokuphelele futhi engumuntu ngokuphelele ... owamukelwe kuBaba wasendulo ngobunkulunkulu bakhe futhi ... wamukelwa yiNtombi enguMariya ngobuntu bakhe; munye uKristu, iNdodana, iNkosi, ozelwe yedwa, owenziwa waziwa ngemvelo emibili ...
Ingxenye yokugcina yengezwe ngoba abanye abantu babethi isimo sikaNkulunkulu sasicindezele isimo sikaJesu sobuntu emuva kangangokuthi uJesu wayengaseyena umuntu wangempela. Abanye bathi lezi zimvelo ezimbili zihlangene zaba yimvelo yesithathu ngakho-ke uJesu wayengeyena uNkulunkulu futhi engeyena umuntu. Cha, ubufakazi beBhayibheli buyakhombisa: UJesu wayengumuntu ngokuphelele futhi enguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele. Futhi yilokho iBandla okufanele likufundise futhi.
Ukuthola kwethu insindiso kuncike eqinisweni lokuthi uJesu wayengumuntu futhi engumuntu futhi enguNkulunkulu. Kepha iNdodana kaNkulunkulu engcwele ingaba kanjani indoda, ithathe isimo senyama enesono?
Umbuzo uvela ikakhulukazi ngoba umuntu njengoba simbona manje wonakaliswe ngokuphelele. Kepha akuyona indlela uNkulunkulu akwenza ngayo. UJesu usikhombisa ukuthi umuntu angaba kanjani futhi kufanele abe seqinisweni kanjani. Okokuqala, usikhombisa umuntu othembele ngokuphelele kuYise. Kufanele kube njalo nangesintu.
Usikhombisa nokuthi uNkulunkulu uyakwazi ukwenzani. Uyakwazi ukuba yingxenye yendalo yakhe. Angalivala igebe phakathi kokungadalwanga nokwenziwe, phakathi kokungcwele nokona. Singase sicabange ukuthi akunakwenzeka; kuNkulunkulu kungenzeka.
Futhi ekugcineni, uJesu uyasibonisa ukuthi isintu siyoba yini esidalweni esisha. Lapho ebuya futhi sivuswa, siyofana naye (1. UJohane 3,2). Siyoba nomzimba ofana nomzimba wakhe oguqulwe isimo (1. AbaseKorinte 15,42-enye).
UJesu uyiphayona lethu, usikhombisa ukuthi indlela eya kuNkulunkulu iholela ngoJesu. Ngoba ungumuntu, uzizwa ngobuthakathaka bethu; ngoba unguNkulunkulu, angasikhulumela ngempumelelo ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. Njengoba uJesu enguMsindisi wethu, singaqiniseka ukuthi ukusindiswa kwethu kuqinisekile.
