UJesu ungumlamuleli wethu

Le ntshumayelo iqala ngesidingo sokuqonda ukuthi bonke abantu bebeyizoni kusukela ngesikhathi sika-Adamu. Ukuze sikhululwe ngokugcwele esonweni nasekufeni, sidinga umlamuleli ozosikhulula esonweni nasekufeni. UJesu ungumlamuleli wethu ophelele ngoba wasikhulula ekufeni ngokufa kwakhe okuwumhlatshelo. Ngokuvuka Kwakhe, wasinika impilo entsha futhi wasibuyisanisa noBaba waseZulwini. Noma ubani ovuma uJesu njengomlamuleli wakhe siqu kuyise futhi amemukele njengomsindisi ngokubhapathizwa kwakhe unesiphiwo esicebile sempilo entsha ezelwe nguMoya oNgcwele. Ukuvuma ukuncika kwakhe ngokuphelele kumlamuleli wakhe uJesu kuvumela umuntu obhapathiziwe ukuba aphile ebuhlotsheni obuseduze naye, akhule futhi athele izithelo eziningi. Injongo yalesi sigijimi iwukusenza sijwayelane naloMlamuleli, uJesu Kristu.

Isipho senkululeko

USawulu wayengumFarisi ofundile nogcina umthetho. UJesu ngokungaguquki nangokungagwegwesi wazilahla izimfundiso zabaFarisi:

Mathewu 23,15  “Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! Udabula izwe nolwandle ukuze uzuze umuntu oyedwa okholweni lwakho; futhi lapho ezuziwe, umenza indodana yesihogo, omubi ngokuphindwe kabili kunawe!

UJesu wamehlisa uSawulu ehhashini eliphakeme lokuzibona elungile futhi wamkhulula kuzo zonke izono zakhe. Manje usenguMphostoli uPawulu, futhi ngemva kokuguquka kwakhe ngoJesu walwa ngentshiseko nangokungakhathali ngokumelene nazo zonke izinhlobo zomthetho.

Kuyini ukwenza umthetho? Umthetho ubeka isiko ngaphezu komthetho kaNkulunkulu futhi ngaphezu kwezidingo zabantu. Ukuba semthethweni kuwuhlobo lobugqila abaFarisi ababelusekela nakuba bona, njengabo bonke abantu, babenecala lomthetho ophelele kaNkulunkulu. Sisindisiwe ngokukholwa, okuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, ngoJesu hhayi ngemisebenzi yethu.

Ukuba semthethweni yisitha sobunikazi bakho nenkululeko kuKristu. AbaseGalathiya nabo bonke abamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi wabo bakhululwa ebugqilini besono nguKristu, umkhululi nomlamuleli omkhulu. AbaseGalathiya babekulahlile ubugqila babo, ngakho uPawulu wabanxusa ngokuqinile nangokungayekethisi ukuba bame beqinile kuleyo nkululeko. AbaseGalathiya bahlengwa ebugqilini bobuhedeni futhi babhekana nengozi esongela ukuphila yokuzibeka ngaphansi kobugqila bomthetho kaMose, njengoba kulotshiwe eNcwadini eya kwabaseGalathiya:

KwabaseGalathiya 5,1  «UKristu usikhulule! qinani manje, ningavumeli ijoka lobugqila liphinde libekwe phezu kwenu.”

Ukuthi isimo sasibuhlungu kangakanani kubonakala ekucaceni kwamazwi kaPawulu ekuqaleni kwencwadi:

KwabaseGalathiya 1,6-9 Kuyangimangaza ukuthi nihlubuka masinyane kangaka kulowo owanibizela emuseni kaKristu, niye kwelinye ivangeli, lingekho elinye; Bakhona kuphela abanididayo befuna ukuphendukezela ivangeli likaKristu. Kodwa noma thina noma ingelosi evela ezulwini inganishumayeza ivangeli eliphambene naleli esanishumayeza lona, ​​makabe ngoqalekisiweyo. Njengoba sesishilo, ngiyaphinda futhi ngithi: Uma umuntu enishumayeza ivangeli eliphambene nalelo enalamukelayo, makabe ngoqalekisiweyo.

Umlayezo kaPawule umayelana nomusa, insindiso kanye nokuphila okuphakade, okuphambene nomthetho. Uphathelene nokugqilazwa isono - noma inkululeko kuKristu. Kuyaqondakala ukuthi angikwazi ukukhuluma ngendawo empunga, indawo ephakathi edabukile noma isinqumo esihlehlisiwe esinemiphumela ebulalayo uma kuziwa ekuphileni - noma ukufa. Kafushane, nakhu okushiwo incwadi eya kwabaseRoma:

Roman 6,23 Schlachter Bible «Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa; Kodwa isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.

Ukuba semthethweni kusakwenza umuntu akholwe ukuthi ngokugcina zonke izinhlobo zezimiso nemithetho azibekela yona, angaphila ngokuvumelana nombono kaNkulunkulu. Noma uthatha imiyalo nemingcele engu-613, evumelana nencazelo yomthetho yabaFarisi futhi akholelwe ngokungathí sina ukuthi uyokwamukelwa futhi amukelwe uNkulunkulu uma ekwazi ukuyigcina. Futhi asibona abantu abakhetha embalwa yale miyalo futhi bakholelwe ukuthi ibhekwa njengelungile futhi ibusiswe nguNkulunkulu.

Sidinga umlamuli

Phakathi nokuphila kwami, uMoya kaNkulunkulu ungivumele ukuba ngibone noma ngizikhumbuze amaphuzu alandelayo abalulekile empilweni yami entsha kuKristu:

Marku 12,29  «UJesu waphendula: “Umthetho omkhulu kunayo yonke yilo: Yizwa, Israyeli, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yiNkosi eyodwa; nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho Amandla. Nansi enye into: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena, awukho omunye umyalo omkhulu kunalo.

Umthetho kaNkulunkulu udinga uthando oluphelele ngoNkulunkulu, umakhelwane kanye nobumina.Uma ungenalo uthando lwaphezulu ngawe, ungasho kanjani ukuthi ungaba nalo kuNkulunkulu kanye nomakhelwane wakho:

uJakobe 2,10  “Ngokuba uma umuntu egcina umthetho wonke, ona umyalo owodwa, unecala kuwo wonke umthetho.

Kuyiphutha elibulalayo ukukholelwa ukuthi ngaphandle koMlamuleli uJesu ngingama phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi:

Roman 3,10  “Akekho olungileyo, ngisho noyedwa.”

Umuntu osemthethweni ubambelela emthethweni ngezindleko zomusa. UPawulu uthi umuntu onjalo usengaphansi kwesiqalekiso somthetho. Noma ukukubeka ngendlela eqonde kakhudlwana kuleli gama kuwukuhlala ekufeni, noma ukufa ngokomoya ukuze uhlale ufile futhi uphuthelwe ngokungadingekile izibusiso ezicebile zomusa kaNkulunkulu. Ububi ngemva kokubhapathizwa ukuphila kuKristu.

KwabaseGalathiya 3,10-14 Good News Bible «Ngakolunye uhlangothi, labo abafuna ukubonakala belungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokugcwalisa umthetho baphila ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso. Ngoba kuthiwa emiBhalweni eNgcwele: “Qalekani phezu kwanoma ubani ongalandeli ngokuqinile zonke izihlinzeko zeNcwadi yoMthetho. Kusobala: lapho okubusa khona umthetho, akekho ongabhekwa njengolungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba futhi lithi: Wonke umuntu othiwa ulungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa uyakuphila. Umthetho, nokho, awuphathelene nokukholwa nokuthembana; Lokhu okulandelayo kuyasebenza emthethweni: noma ngubani olandela imithethonqubo yawo uzophila ngayo. UKristu usihlengile esiqalekisweni umthetho owasibeka ngaphansi kwaso. Ngoba wathatha isiqalekiso phezu kwakhe esikhundleni sethu. Ithi emiBhalweni Engcwele: Noma ubani olenga emthini uqalekisiwe nguNkulunkulu. Ngakho ngoJesu Kristu isibusiso esathenjiswa u-Abrahama kufanele sifike ezizweni zonke, ukuze ngokukholwa kwethu sonke samukele uMoya uNkulunkulu amthembisa wona.”

Ngiyaphinda futhi ngiyagcizelela, uJesu ungumlamuleli wethu. Usinika ukuphila okuphakade ngomusa. Ukugunyazwa ngokomthetho kuwuphawu lwesidingo somuntu sokuvikeleka. Injabulo, ukuvikeleka kanye nesiqiniseko sensindiso akuphumuli “kuKristu” kuphela. Khona-ke zisekelwe ekuhlelweni kwebandla okubonakala kunembile, kodwa nokho okungalungile, ukuhunyushwa kweBhayibheli okuyiwonawona kanye nenkulumo ebonakala inembe ncamashi yokukhetha kwethu siqu kanye nemibono yochwepheshe beBhayibheli nezikhulu zebandla, isikhathi esifanele senkonzo, indlela yokuziphatha efanele ngokusho kombiko. ukwahlulela nokuziphatha komuntu. Kodwa, futhi lena ingqikithi yendaba, hhayi kuJesu Kristu yedwa! UPawulu uyasixwayisa ukuthi singavumeli muntu ukuba asho okuthile endaweni yomthetho, isibonelo mayelana nokudla neziphuzo, mayelana neholide elithile, ukwethwasa kwenyanga noma iSabatha.

AbaseKolose 2,17 Good News Bible “Konke lokhu kuyisithunzi sezwe elisha elizayo; kodwa iqiniso likaKristu, futhi lokhu (okungokoqobo, izwe elisha) sekufinyeleleka kakade emzimbeni wakhe, ibandla.”

Ake sikuqonde kahle lokhu. Ukhululekile ukukhetha ukuthi ufuna ukudumisa uNkulunkulu kanjani, wenzani, ongakudli, noma yiluphi usuku ofuna ukuhlangana ngalo nabazalwane nodade nabanye abantu ukuze udumise futhi ukhonze uNkulunkulu. UPawulu udonsela ukunaka kwethu kokuthile okubalulekile:

1. AbaseKorinte 8,9 Ithemba labo bonke “Noma kunjalo, kufanele niqaphele ukuthi ngenkululeko enikholelwa ukuthi ninayo, ningalimazi labo abanokholo lwabo lusebuthakathaka.”

UNkulunkulu akafuni siyisebenzise kabi inkululeko yethu noma siyenze ngendlela ecasula abanye. Akafuni futhi bazizwe bengalondekile okholweni lwabo futhi balahlekelwe ngisho nokholo kuJesu. Umusa ukunika inkululeko yokujabulela lokho oyikho kuKristu. Uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphinde luzungeze intando yakho yokwenza lokho akulindele noma akucela kuwe.

Ukhululekile ekwahluleleni

Ivangeli liwumyalezo wenkululeko ebabazekayo. Noma ungawa, omubi ongusathane akakwazi ukukwehlulela. Njengoba nje yonke imizamo yakho yokuphila ubungcwele ngaphambili yayingeke ikukhiphe ku-Adamu wokuqala, ngoba wahlala uyisoni, kanjalo nezenzo zakho zesono azinakukukhipha “kuKristu” manje. Uhlala ulungile emehlweni kaNkulunkulu ngoba uJesu ungukulunga kwakho - futhi lokho akusoze kwashintsha.

Roman 8,1-4 New Life Bible «Ngakho-ke akukho ukulahlwa kwabangabakaKristu Jesu. UMartin Luther washo kanje: “Kanjalo akukho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu ngokuba amandla kaMoya ophilisayo anikhululile ngoKristu Jesu emandleni esono okuholela ekufeni. ”

Umthetho wawungeke usisindise ngoba isimo sethu sobuntu sasimelana nawo. Yikho uNkulunkulu wathumela indodana yakhe kithi. Weza esesimweni somuntu njengathi, kodwa engenasono. UNkulunkulu wabhubhisa ukubusa kwesono phezu kwethu ngokulahla iNdodana yakhe ngecala ngenxa yecala lethu. Lokhu wakwenza ukuze ukulunga komthetho kugcwaliseke ngathi, singabe sisaqondiswa yimvelo yethu kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu.

Ngeke bakwazi ukuquliswa amacala futhi balahlwe futhi bakhululwe ngesikhathi esifanayo. Uma ijaji lisho ukuthi awunacala, akukho ukugwetshwa, akukho ukulahlwa. Labo abakuKristu abasahlulelwa futhi abalahlwa. Ukuba kwakho kuKristu kungokugcina. Usuphenduke umuntu okhululekile. Umuntu ozelwe futhi owadalwa nguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu wayehlose ukuba munye Naye.

Usawezwa amacala abekwe wona? Unembeza wakho uyakusola, usathane wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukuze ukholwe ukuthi uyisoni futhi uhlale uyisoni esikhulu. Uyakumangalela futhi akugwebe ngaphandle kwelungelo lokwenza lokho. Futhi kukhona abantu abaseduze kwakho abakwahlulela, izitatimende nezenzo zakho, mhlawumbe bazehlulele. Ungakuvumeli lokhu kukukhathaze. Lokhu akukuthinti uma uyimpahla kaNkulunkulu. Wabeka isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu esonweni kuJesu, wahlawulela wena necala lakho futhi wakhokha zonke izindleko ngegazi lakhe. Ngokukholelwa kuye, okuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, ukhululiwe futhi ulungisisiwe esonweni nasekufeni. Ukhululekile, ukhululekile ngokuphelele, ukukhonza uNkulunkulu.

Umlamuleli wethu, uJesu Kristu

Njengoba uJesu engumlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu, kuyafaneleka ukuchaza isikhundla sakhe njengoNkulunkulu futhi sithembele kuye yedwa. UPawulu uyasitshela

Roman 8,31-39 NGÜ «Singathini manje njengoba sinakho konke lokhu engqondweni? UNkulunkulu ungakithi; ngubani ongasilimaza? Akazange ayigodle ngisho nendodana yakhe, kodwa wayinikela ngenxa yethu sonke. Ngeke yini sinikwe konke okunye kanye neNdodana yakhe (uMlamuleli wethu)? Ngubani omunye ongaba nesibindi sokumangalela labo abakhethwe nguNkulunkulu? UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uthi balungile. Ingabe ukhona omunye ongamahlulela? UJesu Kristu wabafela, ngaphezu kwalokho: Wavuswa kwabafileyo, futhi uhlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu futhi uyasikhulekela. Yini enye engasihlukanisa noKristu nothando lwakhe? Udinga? Ukwesaba? Ukushushiswa? Indlala? ukuswela? Ingozi yokufa? Inkemba yombulali? Kumele sikubale ngakho konke lokhu, ngoba uthi embhalweni: Ngenxa yakho sisongelwa njalo ngokufa; Siphathwa njengezimvu ezimiselwe ukuhlatshwa. Nokho, kukho konke lokhu sinokunqoba okumangalisayo ngaye owasithanda kakhulu. Yebo, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi nakufa noma ukuphila, nazingelosi namandla angabonakali, namanje noma esikhathini esizayo, namandla anobutha kuNkulunkulu, ukuphakama nokujula, nanoma yini enye kuyo yonke indalo engasihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu. osiphefumulayo siphiwe ngoJesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu”

Ngibuza umbuzo: Abhekiselwe kubani la mazwi? Ingabe ukhona ongafakwanga?

1. UThimothi 2,3-7 Lokhu kuhle futhi kuyamukeleka kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu, ofuna bonke abantu basindiswe futhi bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso. Ngokuba munye uNkulunkulu, munye nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu, owazinikela abe yisihlengo sabo bonke, kube ngubufakazi bakhe ngesikhathi esifanele. Ngenxa yalokhu ngibekwe ukuba ngibe umshumayeli nomphostoli - ngikhuluma iqiniso futhi angiqambi amanga - njengomfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.

La mavesi aqondiswe kubo bonke abantu, kuhlanganise nawe mfundi othandekayo. Akekho ovalelwa ngaphandle ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda bonke abantu ngaphandle kwemibandela. Akwenzi mehluko ukuthi uphuma esizweni sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli noma kwabeZizwe. Ukuthi usunikele ukuphila kwakho kuNkulunkulu noma usuzothatha isinqumo sokuqinisekisa lokhu ngobhapathizo akwenzi mehluko, ngoba uNkulunkulu usithanda sonke. Akafuni lutho ngaphandle kokuthi wonke umuntu ulalele izwi leNdodana yakhe ethandekayo uJesu futhi enze lokho amtshela kona mathupha ukuba akwenze. Usinika ukholo lokumethemba njengomlamuleli wethu.

Abantu abaningi babhekisela esikhathini kusukela ekwenyukeni kukaJesu njengezikhathi zokugcina. Noma ngabe kwenzekani ezikhathini zethu ezinzima, sibonga ukwazi futhi sizimisele njalo ukukholwa kabusha ukuthi uJesu, njengomlamuleli wethu akasishiyi, uhlala kithi futhi usiholela ekuphileni okuphakade embusweni wakhe.
