Impilo kaKristu ethululiwe

Namuhla ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi ulalele iseluleko uPawulu asinikeza abaseFilipi. Ukucele ukuthi wenze okuthile futhi ngizokukhombisa ukuthi lokhu kwakumayelana nani futhi ngikucele ukuthi wenze isinqumo sokuthi wenze okufanayo.

UJesu wayenguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele futhi engumuntu ngokuphelele. Omunye umbhalo okhuluma ngokulahleka kobuNkulunkulu bakhe utholakala kwabaseFilipi.

“Ngokuba lokhu kuthambekela makube kini, okwakukhona nakuKristu Jesu, yena esesimo sikaNkulunkulu, akabambelelanga njengokuphanga, ukuba abe njengoNkulunkulu; kodwa wazidela, wathatha isimo senceku futhi wenziwa ofana nomuntu, futhi waqanjwa njengomuntu ngokubukeka kwakhe kwangaphandle, wazithoba futhi walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, ngisho nokufa esiphambanweni. Kungakho uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa phezu kwezixuku zonke, wamnika igama eliphezu kwamagama onke, ukuze egameni likaJesu amadolo onke abasezulwini, nabasemhlabeni, nabaphansi komhlaba, aguqe, nazo zonke izilimi zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu. yiNkosi, kube yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.” (Filipi. 2,5-enye).

Ngosizo lwala mavesi ngithanda ukuphakamisa izinto ezimbili:

1. Okushiwo uPawulu ngesimo sikaJesu.
2. Kungani esho njalo.

Ngemuva kokuthola ukuthi kungani asho okuthile ngemvelo kaJesu, lapho-ke nathi sinesinqumo sethu sonyaka ozayo. Kodwa-ke, umuntu angavele angaqondi kahle okushiwo amavesi 6-7 ukusho ukuthi ngandlela thile uJesu wanikela ngobuNkulunkulu bakhe ngokuphelele noma ngokwengxenye. Kepha uPawulu akashongo lokho. Ake sihlaziye la mavesi sibone ukuthi uthini ngempela.

Wayesesimweni sikaNkulunkulu

Umbuzo: Usho ukuthini ngesimo sikaNkulunkulu?

Amavesi 6-7 yiwo kuphela amavesi ku-NT aqukethe igama lesiGreki uPaul asetshenziselwa lona
"Gestalt" esetshenzisiwe, kodwa i-OT yesiGreki iqukethe igama izikhathi ezine.
Richter 8,18 Wathi kuZebaki noSalimuna, Ayenjani amadoda enawabulala eThabori? Bathi: Babenjengawe, yilowo nalowo emuhle njengabantwana bobukhosi.
 
Umsebenzi 4,16 "Wama lapho futhi angizange ngibone ukubonakala kwakhe, isithombe sasiphambi kwamehlo ami, ngezwa izwi lihleba:"
Isaya 44,13 “Umqophi uyelula isiqondiso, asidwebe ngepensela, asisebenzise ngemimese eqoshiwe futhi asidwebe ngekhampasi; futhi ulenza libe njengomfanekiso womuntu, njengobuhle bomuntu, ukuba lihlale endlini.

Daniel 3,19 “UNebukadinesari wagcwala intukuthelo, nokubukeka kobuso bakhe kwashintsha kuShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abhedinego. Wanikeza umyalo wokuthi uhhavini kufanele ushiswe ngokuphindwe kasikhombisa kunokuvamile.”
Ngakho-ke uPawulu usho [ngegama elithi] inkazimulo nobukhosi bukaKristu. Wayephethe inkazimulo nobukhosi nayo yonke imigibe yobunkulunkulu.

Ukulingana nonkulunkulu

Ukusetshenziswa okungcono kakhulu kokulingana kokulingana kutholakala kuJohane. Joh. 5,18 “Ngakho-ke amaJuda ayesefuna kakhulu ukumbulala, ngokuba wayengaphuli isabatha kuphela, kodwa futhi wabiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi uYise onguye, ngalokho ezenza olingana noNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke uPawulu wayecabanga ngoKristu owayelingana noNkulunkulu. Ngamanye amagama, uPawuli wathi uJesu wayenobukhosi obugcwele bukaNkulunkulu futhi wayenguNkulunkulu ngokwesimo sakhe. Ngokwezinga lomuntu, lokhu kungalingana nokusho ukuthi othile ubenesimo sobukhosi kanti empeleni ubukhosi.

Sonke siyabazi abantu abaziphatha njengobukhosi kodwa bengenjalo, futhi sifunda ngamalungu athile emindeni yasebukhosini abangaziphathisi okobukhosi. UJesu wayenakho kokubili “ukubonakala” kanye nengqikithi yobunkulunkulu.

ibanjwe njengokuphanga

Ngamanye amagama, into ongayisebenzisa ukuze uzuze wena. Kulula kakhulu kubantu abanelungelo ukusebenzisa isimo sabo ukuzizuzela bona. Uzothola impatho ekhethekile. UPaul uthi yize uJesu wayenguNkulunkulu osesimweni nangokomqondo, njengomuntu akazange alisebenzise leli qiniso. Amavesi 7-8 abonisa ukuthi isimo sakhe sengqondo sasiphikisana ngokuphelele.

UJesu waziphonsa phansi

Waziveza ngani? Impendulo ithi: lutho. WayenguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele. UNkulunkulu akakwazi ukuyeka ukuba uNkulunkulu, noma isikhashana. Akazange adele noma yiziphi izimfanelo zaphezulu noma amandla ayenawo. Wenza izimangaliso. Wayekwazi ukufunda izingqondo. Wasebenzisa amandla akhe. Futhi lapho eguqulwa isimo wabonisa inkazimulo yakhe.

Lokho uPawulu ayekusho lapha kungabonakala kwelinye ivesi lapho asebenzisa khona igama elifanayo elithi “ukungenalutho.”
1. AbaseKorinte 9,15 “Kodwa angizange ngisebenzise lutho [lawa malungelo]; Angizange ngikubhale lokhu ngenjongo yokukugcina kunjalo kimi. Ngincamela ukufa kunokuba lonakaliswe udumo lwami!”

"Wayeka wonke amalungelo akhe" (GN1997 trans.), "akazange agcizelele amalungelo akhe. Cha, wakulahla” (Ithemba Labantu Bonke). Njengomuntu, uJesu akazange asebenzise ubunjalo bakhe bobunkulunkulu noma amandla akhe ukuze kuzuze yena. Wabasebenzisa ukushumayela ivangeli, ukuqeqesha abafundi, njll. - kodwa akazange enze ukuphila kwakhe kube lula. Ngamanye amazwi, akasebenzisanga amandla akhe ukuze kuzuze yena.

• Isivivinyo esinzima ehlane.
• Lapho engabizi umlilo wehle ezulwini ucekele phansi amadolobha angenabungani.
• Ukubethelwa. (Wathi wayengabiza amabutho ezingelosi ukuze amvikele.)

Wazidela ngokuzithandela zonke izinzuzo ayengazijabulela njengoNkulunkulu ukuze abambe iqhaza ngokugcwele empilweni yethu yobuntu. Ake sifunde amavesi 5-8 futhi sibone ukuthi leli phuzu selicace kanjani manje.

UFiliphu. 2,5-8 “Ngokuba mawube kini lowo mqondo owawukhona nakuKristu Jesu, 6 owathi engomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, ongabambelelanga ekuphangeni, ukuze alingane noNkulunkulu; 7 kodwa wazidela, ethatha isimo senceku, efaniswe nabantu, efunyenwe ekubonakaleni komuntu okomuntu, 8 wazithoba, waba ngolalelayo kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ukufa esiphambanweni.

Khona-ke uPawulu uphetha ngamazwi athi uNkulunkulu ekugcineni wamphakamisa uKristu ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu. UFiliphu. 2,9
“Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu futhi wamnika igama elingaphezu kwawo wonke amagama. Ukuze egameni likaJesu amadolo onke aguqe, asezulwini, nawasemhlabeni, naphansi komhlaba, nezilimi zonke zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kube inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uYise.”

Ngakho-ke kunamazinga amathathu:

• Amalungelo kaKristu namalungelo njengoNkulunkulu.

• Ukukhetha kwakhe ukungasebenzisi la malungelo kepha ukuthi abe yinceku.

• Ukwanda kwayo ekugcineni ngenxa yale ndlela yokuphila.

Ilungelo - ukuzimisela ukukhonza - kuyanda

Manje umbuzo omkhulu ngowokuthi kungani la mavesi ekwabaseFilipi? Okokuqala kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi abaseFilipi yincwadi ebhalelwe ibandla elikhethekile ngesikhathi esikhethekile ngenxa yezizathu ezithile. Ngakho-ke, lokho uPawulu akusho ku 2,5-11 ithi ihlobene nenjongo yayo yonke incwadi.

Inhloso yencwadi

Okokuqala, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi ngenkathi uPawulu evakashela eFilipi okokuqala futhi eqala iBandla lapho, waboshwa (Izenzo 1 Dec.6,11-40). Nokho, ubuhlobo bakhe neBandla bebufudumele kakhulu kusukela ekuqaleni. AbaseFilipi 1,3-5 “Ngibonga uNkulunkulu wami noma nini lapho ngicabanga ngani, 4 njalo emikhulekweni yami yonke ngani nonke, ngininxusela ngentokozo 5 ngenxa yokuhlanganyela kwenu evangelini kusukela osukwini lokuqala kuze kube manje.

Ubhala le ncwadi esetilongweni eRoma. AbaseFilipi 1,7 “Kufanele ukuba ngicabange kanjalo ngani nonke, ngokuba nginenhliziyo yami nina nonke eningabahlanganyeli bomusa ekuboshweni kwami, nasekuvikeleni nasekuqinisekiseni ivangeli kanye nami.
 
Kepha akacindezelekile noma adumele ngakho, kepha kunalokho uyajabula.
UPhil. 2,17-18 Kodwa noma ngingathululwa njengomnikelo wokuphuzwayo phezu komhlatshelo nomsebenzi wobupristi wokholo lwenu, ngiyajabula futhi ngithokoza kanye nani nonke; 18 Ngokunjalo lani lizathokoza, lithokoze kanye lami.”

Ngisho nalapho ebhala le ncwadi, baqhubeka beshiseka kakhulu ekusekeleni. UFiliphu. 4,15-18 “Nani-ke nina baseFilipi niyazi ukuthi ekuqaleni [kokushumayela] ivangeli, ekusukeni kwami ​​eMakedoniya, alikho ibandla elahlanganyela nami ekubalweni kwamangeniso nezindleko, kuphela nina nodwa; 16 Ngisho naseThesalonika ningithumele kanye nakabili, ukuze nihlangabezane nezidingo zami. 17 Kangisilangazeleli isipho, kodwa ngifisa ukuthi isithelo sibe sinengi embalini yenu. 18 nginakho konke futhi nginensada; ngilungiselwe ngokugcwele, njengoba ngamukele isipho senu ku-Ephafrodithu, umnikelo omuhle, owamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu.”

Ngakho-ke ithoni yencwadi iphakamisa ubudlelwano obuseduze, umphakathi oqinile wobuKristu wothando nokuzimisela ukusebenzela nokuhlupheka ngenxa yevangeli. Kepha kukhona nezimpawu zokuthi yonke into ayikho njengoba kufanele.
UPhil. 1,27 “Kuphela philani ukuphila kwenu ngokufanele ivangeli likaKristu, ukuze kuthi noma ngiza nginibona noma ngingekho, ngizwe ngani, nimi nigxilile emoyeni munye, nilwela nganhliziyonye ukukholwa kwevangeli.
"Hola impilo yakho" - isiGreki. I-Politeuesthe isho ukufeza izibopho zomuntu njengesakhamuzi somphakathi.

UPawulu ukhathazekile ngoba uyabona ukuthi izimo zobudlelwano nothando ezazikade zibonakala eFilipi zinokungezwani okuthile. Ukungavumelani kwangaphakathi kusongela uthando, ubunye, nobudlelwano bebandla.
AbaseFilipi 2,14 "Yenza konke ngaphandle kokukhononda noma ukungabaza."

UFiliphu. 4,2-3 “Ngiyamyala u-Evodiya noSintike ukuba babe nhliziyonye eNkosini.
3 Ngiyakucela lawe, nceku ethembekileyo kanye lami, ukuthi uvikele labo abalwa lami kulokhu, kanye loKlemeni lezinye izisebenzi kanye lami, abamagama abo asencwadini yokuphila.”

Ngamafuphi, umphakathi okholwayo walwa kanzima ngenkathi abanye beba nobugovu nokuzikhukhumeza.
UFiliphu. 2,1-4 Uma kukhona isiyalo kuKristu, uma kukhona ukuqinisekiswa kothando, uma kukhona ukuhlanganyela kukaMoya, uma kukhona ububele nesihawu, 2 khona-ke gcwalisani intokozo yami, nibe-nhliziyonye, ​​ninokufana. uthando, ukuba nengqondo eyodwa futhi nikhumbule into eyodwa. 3 Lingenzi lutho ngobugovu loba ingxabano eyize, kodwa ngokuthobeka yilowo nalowo abheke omunye njengomkhulu kunawe.

Sibona izinkinga ezilandelayo lapha:
1. Kukhona ukungqubuzana.
2. Kukhona umbango wezikhundla.
3. Unesifiso sokuvelela.
4. Bazikhukhumeza ngokuphikelela ezindleleni zabo.
5. Lokhu kubonisa ukuzihlola okuphakeme ngokwedlulele.
 
Ngokuyinhloko bakhathalela izithakazelo zabo.

Kulula kakhulu ukuwela kuzo zonke lezi zimo zengqondo. Ngikubonile kimina nakwabanye eminyakeni edlule. Kulula futhi ukungaboni iqiniso lokuthi lezi zimilo azilungile kumKristu. Amavesi 5-11 abheka ngokuyisisekelo isibonelo sikaJesu ukuvumela umoya uphume kukho konke ukuzikhukhumeza nokuzazisa okungasingenela kalula.

UPaul uthi: Ucabanga ukuthi ungcono kunabanye nokuthi ufanelwe inhlonipho nodumo esontweni? Cabanga ukuthi wayemkhulu futhi enamandla kangakanani uKristu. UPaul uthi: Awufuni ukuthobela abanye, awufuni ukukhonza ngaphandle kokubonwa, uyathukuthela ngoba abanye bakubona njengonikiwe? Cabanga ngazo zonke izinto uKristu ayezimisele ukunikela ngazo.

"Ubika encwadini enhle kakhulu kaWilliam Hendrick ethi Exit Interviews
mayelana nesifundo asenza ngalabo abashiya isonto. Abantu abaningi 'bokukhula kwesonto' bemi emnyango wangaphambili wesonto bebuza abantu ukuthi kungani beze. Ngale ndlela babefuna ukuzama ukuhlangabezana "nezidingo ezizwakalayo" zabantu abafuna ukufinyelela kubo. Kepha bambalwa, uma bekhona, abame emnyango ophumayo ongemuva ukubuza ukuthi kungani behamba. Yilokho uHendricks akwenza, futhi imiphumela yokufunda kwakhe kufanele ifundwe.

Ngenkathi ngifunda ukuphawula kwalabo ababehambile, ngamangala (kanye namazwi athile anokuqonda futhi abuhlungu avela kwabanye abantu abacabangayo abashiya) lokho abanye abantu ababekulindele eBandleni. Babefuna zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezingabalulekile ebandleni; njengokunconywa, ukwamukela 'ukugonwa' kanye nokulindela ukuthi abanye bahlangabezane nazo zonke izidingo zabo ngaphandle kwesibopho somuntu siqu sokufeza izidingo zabanye "(Iqiniso Elingenalutho, Jan 2000, 23).

UPawulu ukhomba uKristu kwabaseFilipi. Ubanxusa ukuba baphile izimpilo zabo emphakathini wamaKristu njengoba kwenza uKristu. Uma bephila kanjena, uNkulunkulu uzobakhazimulisa njengoba nje enza kuKristu.

UFiliphu. 2,5-11
“Ngokuba mawube kini lowo mqondo owawukhona nakuKristu Jesu, 6 owathi engomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, akanamathelanga ekufanekisweni kukaNkulunkulu njengempango; 7 kodwa wazidela, ethatha isimo senceku, efuze abantu, efunyenwe ekubonakaleni okomuntu, 8 wazithoba, waba ngolalelayo kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ukufa esiphambanweni. 9 Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa phezu kwakho konke, wamnika igama elingaphezu kwamagama onke, 10 ukuze ngegama likaJesu amadolo onke aguqe, 11 nezilimi zonke zasezulwini, nezisemhlabeni, naphansi komhlaba, zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu unguNkulunkulu. Nkosi, kube yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba.”

UPawulu uthi ukufeza isibopho sakhe siqu njengesakhamuzi sombuso wasezulwini kuwukuveza njengoba kwenza uJesu nokwamukela indima yenceku. Umuntu akumele azinikele ukuze athole umusa kuphela kodwa futhi nokuhlupheka (1,57.29-30). UFiliphu. 1,29 “Ngokuba niphiwe umusa ngoKristu, kungesikho ukukholwa kuye kuphela, kepha nokuhlupheka ngenxa yakhe.
 
Umuntu kufanele alungele ukusebenzela abanye (2,17) “ukuthululwa” - ukuba nesimo sengqondo nendlela yokuphila ehlukile kumagugu omhlaba (3,18-19). UFiliphu. 2,17 “Noma ngithululwa njengomnikelo wokuphuzwayo emhlatshelweni nasenkonzweni yobupristi bokholo lwenu, nokho ngiyajabula futhi ngijabula kanye nani nonke.
UFiliphu. 3,18-19 Ngokuba abaningi bahamba, njengalokho ngasho kaningi kini, kepha manje ngisho ngezinyembezi, njengezitha zesiphambano sikaKristu; 19 isiphetho sabo yikubhujiswa, unkulunkulu wabo yisisu sabo, bayazigabisa ngehlazo labo, lengqondo zabo zisezintweni zomhlaba.”

Kudingeka ukuthobeka kweqiniso ukuqonda ukuthi ukuba “kuKristu” kusho ukuba yinceku, ngoba uKristu weza emhlabeni hhayi njengeNkosi kodwa njengesigqila.Ubunye buvela ekukhonzeni uNkulunkulu ngokukhonza omunye komunye.

Kukhona ubungozi bokuzinakekela ngobugovu kulimaze abanye, kanye nokuthuthukisa ukuzikhukhumeza okubangelwa ukuziqhenya ngesikhundla sakho, amathalente noma imiphumela yempumelelo.

Isixazululo sezinkinga ebudlelwaneni phakathi kwabantu silele esimweni sokuzibophezela ngokuthobeka kwabanye. Umoya wokuzidela uyisibonakaliso sothando lwabanye oluchazwe kuKristu, uthando "olwalalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, nasekufeni"!

Ubugqila bangempela bokuzibonakalisa.UPawulu usebenzisa uKristu ukuchaza lokhu. Wayenelungelo lokungakhethi indlela yenceku, kepha wayengabeka isikhundla sakhe esifanele.

UPaul usitshela ukuthi ayikho indawo yenkolo ezizwa ingathi ayizenzi ngokungathi sína indima yayo yokuba yinceku. Ayikho futhi indawo yokuzinikela engaphumeli ngaphandle ngokuphelele ngenxa yezintshisakalo zabanye.

isiphetho

Siphila emphakathini obuswa ukuzithanda, ogcwele ifilosofi ethi “mina kuqala” futhi etholwe imibono yebhizinisi yokusebenza kahle nempumelelo. Kodwa lezi akuzona izimiso zebandla njengoba zichazwe uKristu noPawulu. Umzimba kaKristu kufanele uphinde uhlose ukuthobeka kobuKristu, ubunye kanye nenhlanganyelo. Kufanele sikhonze abanye futhi sikwenze kube umthwalo wethu oyinhloko ukuphelelisa uthando ngezenzo. Isimo sengqondo sikaKristu, njengokuthobeka, asifuni amalungelo noma isivikelo sezithakazelo zomuntu, kodwa sihlale sikulungele ukukhonza.
