Ulwazi ngoJesu Kristu

Abantu abaningi bayalazi igama likaJesu futhi kukhona abakwaziyo ngokuphila kwakhe. Bagubha ukuzalwa kwakhe futhi bakhumbula ukufa kwakhe. Kodwa ulwazi lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu lujula kakhulu. Ngaphambi nje kokufa kwakhe, uJesu wathandazela lolu lwazi kubafundi bakhe: “Kepha lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade, ukuba bazi wena-Nkulunkulu wedwa oqinisileyo, nomthumileyo, uJesu Kristu.” ( Johane 17,3).

UPawulu wabhala lokhu okulandelayo mayelana nolwazi ngoKristu: “Kepha lokho okwakuyinzuzo kimi ngakushaya indiva ngenxa kaKristu; Nkosi, engilahle konke ngenxa yakhe, futhi ngikubheka njengokungcola, ukuze ngizuze uKristu” (KwabaseFilipi 3,7-8).

KuPaul, ukwazi uKristu kumayelana nokubalulekile, konke okunye kwakungabalulekile, konke okunye ayekubheka njengodoti, njengodoti okufanele ulahlwe. Ngabe ulwazi ngoKristu lubaluleke kakhulu kithina njengoba lubalulekile kuPawulu? Singayithola kanjani? Liziveza kanjani?

Lolu lwazi aluyona into ekhona kuphela emicabangweni yethu, luhlanganisa ukuhlanganyela okuqondile ekuphileni kukaKristu, ukuhlanganyela okwandayo kokuphila noNkulunkulu neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu ngoMoya oNgcwele. Kuwukuba munye noNkulunkulu neNdodana yakhe. UNkulunkulu akasiniki lolu lwazi ngasikhathi sinye, kodwa usinika lona kancane kancane. Ufuna sikhule emseni nasolwazini. (2. uPeter 3,18).

Kunemikhakha emithathu yesipiliyoni esenza sikwazi ukukhula: ubuso bukaJesu, izwi likaNkulunkulu, nensizakalo nokuhlupheka. 

1. Khula ebusweni bukaJesu

Uma sifuna ukwazi okuthile ngokuningiliziwe, khona-ke sikubheka ngokucophelela. Siyabona futhi sihlole ukuthi singafinyelela yini eziphethweni. Lapho sifuna ukwazi umuntu, sibheka ikakhulukazi ubuso. Kungokufanayo nangoJesu. Ebusweni bukaJesu umuntu angabona okuningi ngaye noNkulunkulu! Ukwazi ubuso bukaJesu ngokuyinhloko kuyindaba yezinhliziyo zethu.

UPawulu ubhala “ngamehlo enhliziyo ekhanyiselwa” (Efesu 1,18) ngubani ongabona lesi sithombe. Esikubheka kakhulu nakho kuzosithonya, esikubuka ngokuzinikela kukho sizoguqulwa. Izindima ezimbili zeBhayibheli zikhomba kulokhu: “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu owabiza ukukhanya ukuba kukhanye ebumnyameni, nguyena okwenze kwaba ukukhanya ezinhliziyweni zethu ngenjongo yokukhanyiselwa ngolwazi lwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaJesu Kristu.”2. AbaseKorinte 4,6).

“Kepha thina sonke sibonakalisa inkazimulo yeNkosi ngobuso obungagqokile, siguqulelwa emfanekisweni ofanayo, kusukela enkazimulweni kuye enkazimulweni, okungukuthi ngoMoya weNkosi.”2. AbaseKorinte 3,18).

Ngamehlo enhliziyo okuthi ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu asenze sikwazi ukubuka ubuso bukaJesu futhi sibone okuthile kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Le nkazimulo ibonakala kithina futhi isiguqula sibe ngumfanekiso weNdodana.

Njengoba nje sifuna ulwazi ebusweni bukaKristu, siguqulwa sibe umfanekiso wakhe! “Ukuze uKristu ahlale ezinhliziyweni zenu ngokukholwa, ukuze nina, nigxilile, nisekelwe othandweni, niqonde kanye nabangcwele bonke ububanzi, nobude, nokuphakama, nokujula, futhi nilwazi uthando lukaKristu, konke okudlula ukwazi; ukuze nigcwaliswe ekugcwaleni kukaNkulunkulu, manje ake sibheke esigabeni sesibili sokuhlangenwe nakho kokukhula emuseni nasekwazini, iZwi likaNkulunkulu. izwi” (Efesu 3,17-enye).

2. UNkulunkulu noJesu bazembula ngeBhayibheli.

“INkosi ikhuluma ngokwayo ngezwi layo. Owemukela izwi lakhe uyamamukela. elihlezi kuye izwi lakhe, uhlala kuye. Nohlala ezwini lakhe uhlala kuye. Lokhu ngeke kugcizelelwe ngokwanele namuhla, lapho abantu bevame ukufuna ulwazi noma befuna umphakathi ngaphandle kokuzithoba okungenamibandela eziqondisweni zezwi lakhe. Ulwazi oluphusile lukaKristu luxhumene namazwi aphusile eNkosi. Lezi zizodwa ziveza ukholo oluqinile. Kungakho uPawulu ethi kuThimothewu: “Bambelela esibonelweni (isibonelo) samazwi aphilileyo” (2. Thimothewu 1:13). (Fritz Binde "Ukuphelela Komzimba KaKristu" ikhasi 53)

NgoNkulunkulu, amazwi awawona amazwi “alungile,” ayaphila futhi ayasebenza. Bakha amandla amakhulu futhi bayimithombo yokuphila. IZwi likaNkulunkulu lifuna ukusihlukanisa nokubi futhi lihlanze izingqondo zethu nomoya wethu. Lokhu kuhlanzwa kunzima, ubuntu bethu kufanele bubhekwe ngezikhali ezinzima.

Ake sifunde lokho uPawulu akuloba ngakho: “Ngokuba izikhali zobuqhawe bethu azisizo ezenyama, kodwa ngaye uNkulunkulu zinamandla okubhidliza izinqaba, ukuze sichithe imicabango (amanga) nakho konke ukuphakama okuvukela ukwazi uNkulunkulu, nabathumbayo. imicabango yokulalela uKristu, nilungele ukuphindisela noma yikuphi ukungalaleli lapho ukulalela kwenu sekuphelele,2. AbaseKorinte 10,4-enye).

Lokhu kulalela uPawulu akhuluma ngakho kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuhlanzwa. Ukucwenga kanye nolwazi kuyahambisana. Kuphela ekukhanyeni kobuso bukaJesu lapho singabona khona ukungcola futhi kufanele sikususe: "Uma umoya kaNkulunkulu usikhombisa ukuntula noma okuthile okungavumelani noNkulunkulu, khona-ke sibizelwa esenzweni! Ukulalela kuyadingeka. UNkulunkulu ufuna lolu lwazi lufezeke ekuhambeni kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu. Ngaphandle koshintsho lwangempela konke kuhlala kuyinkolelo-mbono, ulwazi lweqiniso ngoKristu alufiki ekuvuthweni, luyabuna.2. AbaseKorinte 7,1).

3. Khula ngenkonzo nokuhlupheka

Yilapho kuphela sibona futhi sibona inkonzo kaJesu kithi nokuhlupheka kwakhe ngathi lapho ukuhlupheka kwabantu nokusebenzela umakhelwane wethu kunengqondo. Insizakalo nokuhlupheka kuyimithombo enhle kakhulu yokwazi uKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Isevisi idlulisa izipho ezitholiwe. Le yindlela asebenza ngayo uJesu, udlulisa lokho akutholile kuBaba. Yile ndlela futhi okufanele siyibone ngayo inkonzo yethu esontweni. Umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu uyisibonelo sethu sonke.

“Futhi wanika abanye abaphostoli, abanye abaprofethi, abanye abavangeli, abanye abelusi nabafundisi, ukuze abangcwele bahlomele umsebenzi wokukhonza, kwakhiwe umzimba kaKristu, size sifinyelele sonke ebunyeni bokukholwa. nolwazi ngeNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” (Efe 4,11).

Ngokusebenzelana ngokuhlanganyela silethwa endaweni efanele nasendaweni yomzimba kaJesu. Kodwa yena njengenhloko uqondisa konke. INhloko isebenzisa izipho ezahlukahlukene esontweni ukuletha ubunye nolwazi. Ulwazi lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu alubandakanyi ukukhula komuntu kuphela, kepha nokukhula eqenjini. Imisebenzi eqenjini yehlukile, futhi ekusebenzeleni umakhelwane womuntu kunesinye isici esiholela ekukhuleni olwazini lukaKristu. Lapho kunenkonzo khona kukhona nokuhlupheka.

“Ukusebenzelana okunjalo kuletha ukuhlupheka, kokubili komuntu siqu kanye nakwabanye. Ngokungangabazeki, labo abafisa ukugwema lokhu kuhlupheka okuphindwe kathathu balahlekelwa ukukhula. Kumelwe sizizwele ukuhlupheka mathupha, ngoba ekubethelweni, ukufa, nokungcwatshwa noKristu, kufanele silahlekelwe ukuphila kwethu kokuzithela ngabandayo. Ngokwezinga lapho Lowo Ovukile ekhula kithi, lokhu kuziphika kuba yiqiniso” ( Fritz Binder “The Perfection of the Body of Christ” ikhasi 63).
