Isimangaliso sokuzalwa kabusha
Sazalelwa ukuze sizalwe kabusha. Kungokwakho kanye nami ukuthola uguquko olukhulu kakhulu empilweni - olungokomoya. UNkulunkulu wasidala ngendlela yokuthi sikwazi ukuhlanganyela isimo sakhe sobuNkulunkulu. ITestamente Elisha likhuluma ngalesisimo sobuNkulunkulu njengomhlengi ogeza ukungcola kwesono somuntu. Futhi sonke siyakudinga lokhu kuhlanzwa okungokomoya, njengoba isono sithathe ubumsulwa kuwo wonke umuntu. Sonke sifana nemidwebo enokungcola kwamakhulu eminyaka enamathela kuyo. Njengoba nje umsebenzi wobungcweti ufiphazwa ukukhazimula kwawo yifilimu yokungcola enezingqimba eziningi, izinsalela zesono sethu nazo ziye zafiphaza inhloso yokuqala yengcweti engusomandla.
Ukubuyiselwa komsebenzi wobuciko
Isifaniso nomdwebo onamabala kufanele sisisize siqonde kangcono ukuthi kungani sidinga ukuhlanzwa okungokomoya nokuzalwa kabusha. Saba necala elidumile lobuciko abalimele ngezithombe ezinhle zikaMichelangelo ophahleni lweSistine Chapel eVatican eRome. UMichelangelo (1475-1564) waqala ukuklama iSistine Chapel ngo-1508 eneminyaka engu-33. Eminyakeni engaphezudlwana emine wadala imidwebo eminingi enezigcawu ezivela eBhayibhelini ophahleni olucishe lube ngu-560 m2. Izigcawu ezivela eNcwadini kaMose zingatholakala ngaphansi kwemidwebo yophahla. I-motif eyaziwa kakhulu ukumelela kukaNkulunkulu anthropomorphic kaMichelangelo (efaniswe ngokufana nomuntu): ingalo, isandla neminwe kaNkulunkulu ifinyelela kumuntu wokuqala, u-Adamu. Emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka uphahla olufakwe ophahleni (olubizwa ngokuthi i-fresco ngenxa yokuthi umdwebi wayependa osimende olusha) lonakele futhi ekugcineni lumbozwe ungqimba lokungcola. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi laliyobhujiswa ngokuphelele. Ukuvimbela lokhu, iVatican yaphathisa ochwepheshe ukuhlanza nokubuyisela. Umsebenzi omningi wemidwebo waqedwa ngawo-80. Isikhathi sase sishiye uphawu lwaso emsebenzini wobuciko owubuciko. Uthuli nensila yekhandlela kwakuwonakalise kakhulu umdwebo phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. Umswakama nawo - imvula ingene ophahleni oluvuzayo lwe-Sistine Chapel - idale umonakalo futhi yashintsha kakhulu umbala wobuciko. Mhlawumbe inkinga embi kakhulu, nokho, kwaba, ngokuxakayo, imizamo eyenziwa phakathi namakhulu eminyaka yokugcina imidwebo! I-fresco yayinamekwe nge-varnish yeglue yezilwane ukuze ikhanyise ubuso bawo obuba mnyama. Kodwa-ke, impumelelo yesikhashana iphenduke ukukhuliswa kwamaphutha okufanele aqedwe. Ukuwohloka kwezingqimba ezihlukahlukene zevarnish kwenza ukufiphala komdwebo wophahla lwabonakala nakakhulu. I-glue iphinde yabangela ukushwabana nokuguquguquka kwendawo yomdwebo. Kwezinye izindawo ingcina iyaxebuka, kwaphuma nezinhlayiya zikapende. Ochwepheshe ababephathiswe umsebenzi wokubuyisela imidwebo babecophelele kakhulu emsebenzini wabo. Bagcoba izincibilikisi ezithambile ngendlela yejeli. Futhi ngokukhipha ngokucophelela ijeli ngosizo lwezipontshi, i-efflorescence enomsizi omnyama nayo yasuswa.
Kwakufana nesimangaliso. I-fresco enamafu, emnyama yaphinde yaphila. Izethulo ezakhishwa uMichelangelo zavuselelwa. Kubo ukukhanya okukhazimulayo nokuphila kwaphuma futhi. Uma kuqhathaniswa nesimo sayo sangaphambili esimnyama, i-fresco ehlanziwe yayibukeka njengendalo entsha.
Uphisi wobuciko odlula konke kaNkulunkulu
Ukubuyiselwa komdwebo owenziwe uMichelangelo kuwumfanekiso ofanelekayo wokuhlanzwa okungokomoya kwezidalwa ezingabantu ekubeni nguNkulunkulu ekubeni nesono.UNkulunkulu, uMdali oyingcweti, wasidala njengomsebenzi wakhe wobuciko oyigugu kakhulu. Isintu sadalwa ngomfanekiso wakhe futhi kwakufanele samukele uMoya oNgcwele. Ngokudabukisayo, ukungcoliswa kwendalo yakhe okubangelwa ukuba nesono kuye kwabuphuca lokho kuhlanzeka. U-Adamu no-Eva bona futhi bamukela umoya walelizwe. Nathi sonakele ngokomoya futhi singcoliswe ukungcola kwesono. Kungani? Ngoba bonke abantu bahlushwa yisono futhi baphila ukuphila okuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa uBaba wethu waseZulwini angasivuselela ngokomoya, futhi impilo kaJesu Kristu ingabonakaliswa ekukhanyeni okuphuma kithi ukuze bonke bakubone. Umbuzo uwukuthi: ingabe ngempela siyafuna ukwenza lokho uNkulunkulu ahlose ukuba sikwenze? Abantu abaningi abakufuni lokhu. Basaphila izimpilo zabo ebumnyameni, bengcoliswe ibala elibi lesono. Umphostoli uPawulu wachaza ubumnyama obungokomoya baleli zwe encwadini ayibhalela amaKristu ase-Efesu. Ngokuphathelene nokuphila kwabo kwangaphambili, wathi: “Nani nanifile eziphambekweni nasezonweni zenu, enanikade niphila kuzo ngendlela yaleli zwe.” ( Efesu 2,1-enye).
Nathi siye savumela la mandla onakalisayo ukuba afiphaze ubuntu bethu. Futhi njengoba nje umdwebo kaMichelangelo wawumbozwe futhi wonakaliswe umule, kanjalo nomphefumulo wethu waba mnyama. Kungakho kuphuthuma ukuthi sinikeze indawo ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu kithi. Angasigeza, asuse inhlese yesono, asenze sibe basha futhi sikhanye ngokomoya.
Izithombe zokuvuselela
ITestamente Elisha lisifundisa ukuthi singadalwa kanjani kabusha ngokomoya. Isebenzisa izifaniso ezimbalwa ezifanele ukukhombisa lesi simangaliso. Njengoba nje kwakudingekile ukususa ukungcola emfanekisweni kaMichelangelo, nathi kumelwe sigezwe sihlanzeke ngokomoya. Futhi nguMoya oNgcwele ongenza lokhu. Uyasigeza ekungcoleni kwemvelo yethu yesono.
Noma ukukubeka emazwini kaPawulu, awabhekise kumaKristu amakhulu eminyaka: “Kepha senagezwa, senangcweliswa, senalungisiswa egameni leNkosi uJesu Kristu” (1. AbaseKorinte 6,11). Lokhu kugeza kuyisenzo sensindiso futhi uPawulu ubizwa ngokuthi “ukuzalwa kabusha nokuvuselelwa kuMoya oNgcwele” (Thithu. 3,5). Lokhu kususwa, ukuhlanzwa noma ukuqedwa kwesono kuphinde kuvezwe kahle yisingathekiso sokusoka. AmaKristu asokiwe izinhliziyo zawo. Singasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ngomusa uyasisindisa ngokususa umdlavuza wesono ngokuhlinzwa. Lokhu kunqunywa kwesono—ukusoka okungokomoya—kuwumfuziselo wokuthethelelwa kwezono zethu. UJesu wenza lokhu kwaba nokwenzeka ngokufa Kwakhe njengomhlatshelo ophelele ohlawulelayo. UPawulu wabhala: “Waniphilisa kanye naye, nifile ezonweni nasekungasokini kwenyama yenu, futhi wasithethelela zonke izono zethu.” ( Kolose 2,13).
ITestamente Elisha lisebenzisa uphawu lwesiphambano ukumela indlela ubuntu bethu obunesono obuphucwe ngayo wonke amandla ngokuzibulala thina. UPawulu wabhala: “Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi umuntu wethu omdala wabethelwa kanye naye [uKristu], ukuze umzimba wesono ubhujiswe, ukuze singabe sesikhonza isono.” ( Roma 6,6). Uma sikuKristu, isono esikumuntu wethu (okungukuthi, ubugovu bethu) siyabethelwa esiphambanweni noma siyafa. Yebo, abezwe basazama ukumboza imiphefumulo yethu ngengubo engcolile yesono. Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele uyasivikela futhi usenza sikwazi ukumelana nokukhangwa yisono. NgoKristu, osigcwalisa ngobunjalo bukaNkulunkulu ngokusebenza kukaMoya oNgcwele, siyakhululwa ekubuseni kwesono.
Umphostoli uPawulu usebenzisa isingathekiso sokungcwaba ukuze achaze lesi senzo sikaNkulunkulu. Ukungcwatshwa kuhlanganisa novuko olungokomfanekiso, olumelela lowo manje osezelwe kabusha “engumuntu omusha” esikhundleni ‘somuntu omdala’ onesono. NguKristu owenza ukuphila kwethu okusha kwenzeke, osithethelela njalo futhi osinika amandla okuphila. ITestamente Elisha liqhathanisa ukufa kobuntu bethu obudala kanye nokubuyiselwa kwethu nokuvuka kwethu okungokomfanekiso nokuphila okusha nokuzalwa kabusha. Ngesikhathi sokuguqulwa kwethu sizalwa kabusha ngokomoya. Sizalwa ngokusha futhi sivuselwa ekuphileni okusha ngoMoya oNgcwele.
UPawulu wazisa amaKristu ukuthi “ngokomusa wakhe omkhulu uNkulunkulu uye wasizala kabusha ethembeni eliphilayo ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu kwabafileyo.” ( 1 Petru 1,3). Qaphela ukuthi isenzo "ukuzalwa kabusha" sisenkathini ephelele. Lokhu kuveza iqiniso lokuthi lolu shintsho seluvele lwenzeka ekuqaleni kwempilo yethu yobuKristu. Lapho siphenduka, uNkulunkulu wenza ikhaya lakhe kithi. Futhi ngalokho sizokwakha kabusha. NguJesu, uMoya oNgcwele kanye noBaba abahlala kithi (Johane 14,15-23). Lapho thina - njengabantu abasha ngokomoya - siguqulwa noma sizalwa kabusha, uNkulunkulu uhlala kithi. Uma uNkulunkulu uBaba esebenza kithi, kanjalo neNdodana noMoya oNgcwele kanye kanye. UNkulunkulu usinika amaphiko, uyasihlanza esonweni futhi uyasishintsha. Futhi sinikezwa la mandla ngokuguqulwa nokuzalwa kabusha.
Indlela AmaKristu Akhula Ngayo Okholweni
Yiqiniso, amaKristu azelwe ngokusha asasebenzisa amazwi kaPetru, “njengezingane ezisanda kuzalwa.” Kumelwe ‘bafise ubisi oluhlanzekile lwengqondo’ olubaphakelayo, ukuze bakhule okholweni (1 Petru 2,2). UPetru uchaza ukuthi amaKristu azelwe ngokusha ayakhula ekuqondeni nasekuvuthweni okungokomoya ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Bakhula “emseni nasolwazini lweNkosi noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu” (2 Petru 3,18). UPawulu akasho ukuthi ulwazi olwengeziwe lweBhayibheli lusenza sibe amaKristu angcono. Kunalokho, libonisa ukuthi ukuqaphela kwethu izinto ezingokomoya kumelwe kuloliwe nakakhulu ukuze sikuqonde ngempela ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba umlandeli kaKristu. “Ulwazi” ngomqondo weBhayibheli luhlanganisa ukusebenza kwalo okungokoqobo. Kuhambisana nokufana kanye nokuqonda komuntu lokho okusenza sibe njengoKristu kakhulu. Ukukhula kobuKristu okholweni akufanele kuqondwe ngokwakhiwa kwesimilo somuntu. Futhi akuwona umphumela wokukhula ngokomoya kuMoya oNgcwele uma siphila isikhathi eside kuKristu. Kunalokho, siyakhula ngomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele kakade ngaphakathi kwethu. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu siza kithi ngomusa.
Ukulungisiswa kuza ngezindlela ezimbili. Okokuqala, siyalungisiswa, noma sihlangabezana nesiphetho sethu, lapho samukela uMoya oNgcwele. Ukulungisiswa okubhekwa kulo mbono kwenzeka khona manjalo futhi kwenziwa kwenzeke ngomhlatshelo kaKristu ohlawulelayo. Nokho, siphinde sibhekane nokulungisiswa njengoba uKristu ehlala kithi futhi esihlomisela ukukhonza nokukhonza uNkulunkulu. Nokho, ingqikithi noma “isimilo” sikaNkulunkulu sesivele sinikeziwe lapho uJesu ehlala kithi lapho ephenduka. Sithola ubukhona obunamandla boMoya oNgcwele njengoba siphenduka futhi sibeka ukholo lwethu kuJesu Kristu. Enkambweni yokuphila kwethu kobuKristu kwenzeka ushintsho. Sifunda ukuzithoba ngokugcwele emandleni oMoya oNgcwele okhanyiselayo naphakamisayo asengaphakathi kwethu.
UNkulunkulu kithi
Lapho sizalwa ngokusha ngokomoya, uKristu uhlala kithi ngokugcwele ngoMoya oNgcwele. Ngicela ucabange ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokho. Abantu bangaguqulwa ngesenzo sikaKristu ehlala kubo ngoMoya oNgcwele. UNkulunkulu uhlanganyela ubuNkulunkulu bakhe nathi bantu. Okusho ukuthi, umKristu usephenduke umuntu omusha ngokuphelele.
“Uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha; okwakudala kudlulile, bhekani, sekuvele okusha,” kusho uPawulu 2. AbaseKorinte 5,17.
AmaKristu azelwe kabusha ngokomoya amukela umfanekiso omusha—lowo kaNkulunkulu uMdali wethu. Impilo yakho kufanele ibe isibuko saleliqiniso elisha elingokomoya. Kungakho uPawulu akwazi ukubayala: “Ningalingisi leli zwe, kodwa guqukani nizenze ibe-ntsha ingqondo yenu.” ( Roma 1 Kor.2,2). Nokho, akufanele sicabange ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi amaKristu awoni. Yebo, siye saguqulwa umzuzu nomzuzwana ngomqondo wokuthi siye sazalwa ngokusha ngokwamukela uMoya oNgcwele. Nokho, kukhona okukhona “kwekhehla”. AmaKristu enza amaphutha futhi one. Kodwa abakwenzi umkhuba isono. Badinga ukuthethelelwa njalo nokuhlanzwa esonweni sabo. Ngakho, ukuvuselelwa ngokomoya kufanele kubonakale njengenqubo eqhubekayo kuyo yonke impilo yobuKristu.
Impilo yomKrestu
Lapho siphila ngokuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu, maningi amathuba okuba silandele uKristu. Kumelwe sikulungele ukulahla isono futhi siphenduke entandweni kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke. Futhi njengoba senza lokhu, uNkulunkulu uhlala esigeza ezonweni zethu, ngenxa yegazi lomhlatshelo kaKristu. Sigezwa ngokomoya ngengubo kaKristu enegazi, emelela inhlawulo yakhe. Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu sivunyelwe ukuphila ebungcweleni bukamoya. Futhi njengoba sikwenza lokhu ekuphileni kwethu, ukuphila kukaKristu kubonakala ekukhanyeni okuphuma kithi.
Isimangaliso sezobuchwepheshe sashintsha umdwebo kaMichelangelo owawubuthuntu nowonakele. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza isimangaliso esingokomoya esimangalisa kakhulu kithi. Kwenza okungaphezu kakhulu kokubuyisela isimo sethu esingokomoya esonakele. Uyasidala kabusha. U-Adamu wona, uKristu wamthethelela. IBhayibheli libiza u-Adamu njengomuntu wokuqala. Futhi iTestamente Elisha libonisa ukuthi, ngomqondo wokuthi thina njengabantu basemhlabeni singabantu abafayo nabangokwenyama njengaye, sinikezwa ukuphila okufana no-Adamu.1. AbaseKorinte 15,45-enye).
Im 1. Nokho, iNcwadi kaMose ithi u-Adamu no-Eva badalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Ukwazi ukuthi badalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu kusiza amaKristu aqonde ukuthi asindiswa ngoJesu Kristu. Lapho bedalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, u-Adamu no-Eva bona futhi bazibeka icala ngesono. Amadoda ezidalwa zokuqala ayenecala lesono, futhi umphumela waba izwe elingcoliswe ngokomoya. Isono singcolise futhi singcolise sonke. Kodwa izindaba ezinhle ukuthi sonke singathethelelwa futhi sidalwe kabusha ngokomoya.
Ngesenzo Sakhe sokuhlenga enyameni, uJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu ukhulula inkokhelo yesono: ukufa. Ukufa kukaJesu okuwumhlatshelo kusenza sibuyisane noBaba wethu osezulwini ngokususa lokho okwahlukanisa uMdali nendalo yakhe ngenxa yesono sabantu. NjengomPristi wethu oMkhulu, uJesu Kristu uletha ukulungisiswa kithi ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlala ngaphakathi. Ukubuyisana kukaJesu kudiliza umgoqo wesono ophule ubuhlobo phakathi kwesintu noNkulunkulu. Kodwa ngaphezu kwalokho, umsebenzi kaKristu ngoMoya oNgcwele usenza sibe munye noNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esifanayo usisindisa. UPawulu wabhala: “Ngoba uma sathola ukubuyisana noNkulunkulu ngokufa kweNdodana yakhe siseyizitha, kakhulu kangakanani thina esiyosindiswa ngokuphila kwayo njengoba manje sesithole ukubuyisana.” 5,10).
Umphostoli uPawulu uqhathanisa imiphumela yesono sika-Adamu nokuthethelela kukaKristu. Ekuqaleni, u-Adamu no-Eva bavumela isono ukuba singene emhlabeni. Bawela izithembiso zamanga. Futhi ngakho lafika emhlabeni nayo yonke imiphumela yalo futhi lathatha ifa lakho. UPawulu ukucacisa ukuthi isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu salandela isono sika-Adamu. Izwe lawela esonweni, futhi bonke abantu bayona futhi baba izisulu zokufa ngenxa yalokho. Akukhona ukuthi abanye bafa ngenxa yesono sika-Adamu noma ukuthi yena wadlulisela isono enzalweni yakhe. Yebo, imiphumela "yenyama" isivele ithinta izizukulwane ezizayo. Njengomuntu wokuqala, u-Adamu wayenomthwalo wemfanelo wokudala indawo lapho isono sasiyochuma khona singanqandwa. Isono sika-Adamu sabeka isisekelo sesenzo somuntu esengeziwe.
Ngokufanayo, ukuphila kukaJesu okungenasono nokufa kwakhe ngokuzithandela ngenxa yezono zesintu kwenza kwaba nokwenzeka ngabo bonke ukuba babuyisane ngokomoya futhi bahlanganiswe noNkulunkulu. “Ngoba uma ngenxa yesono saLowo [u-Adamu] ukufa kwabusa ngalowo oyedwa,” kubhala uPawulu, “kakhulu kangakanani abamukela ukugcwala komusa nesipho sokulunga bayobusa ekuphileni ngaye oyedwa, uJesu Kristu.” (Ivesi 17). UNkulunkulu ubuyisana nesintu esinesono kuye ngoKristu. Futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, thina, sinikezwe amandla nguKristu ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, sizalwa ngokusha ngokomoya njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngesithembiso esiphezulu.
Ebhekisela ovukweni lwesikhathi esizayo lwabalungileyo, uJesu wathi uNkulunkulu “akayena uNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo” ( Marku 12,27). Nokho, abantu ayekhuluma ngabo babengaphili, kodwa bafile, kodwa njengoba uNkulunkulu enamandla okufeza umgomo wakhe wokuvusa abafileyo, uJesu Kristu wakhuluma ngabo njengabaphilayo. Njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu singabheka phambili ekuvukeni ekuphileni ekubuyeni kukaKristu. Ukuphila sikunikiwe manje, ukuphila kuKristu. Umpostoli uPowula uyasikhuthaza: “...nanzelelani bona nifile esonweni, kodwana niphilele uZimu kuKrestu Jesu” (KwabaseRoma. 6,11).
