UJesu umsebenzi ophelele wokuhlengwa
Ngasekupheleni kwevangeli lakhe umuntu ufunda la mazwi athakazelisayo omphostoli uJohane: “Izibonakaliso eziningi uJesu azenza phambi kwabafundi bakhe, ezingalotshiwe kule ncwadi [...] , bengicabanga ukuthi umhlaba awunakuqukatha izincwadi ezingalotshwa.” ( Johane 20,30:2; Kor.1,25). Ngokusekelwe kula mazwi nangokucabangela umehluko phakathi kwamavangeli amane, singaphetha ngokuthi ukulandisa okubhekiselwa kukho akulotshwanga njengemifanekiso ephelele yokuphila kukaJesu. UJohane uthi imibhalo yakhe ihloselwe “ukuze nikholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, nokuthi ngokukholwa nibe nokuphila egameni lakhe” ( Johane 20,31 ). Okugxilwe kakhulu kwamavangeli ukumemezela izindaba ezinhle ngoMsindisi kanye nensindiso esinikezwe yona.
Nakuba uJohane ebona insindiso (ukuphila) exhunywe ‘negama likaJesu evesini 31 , amaKristu akhuluma ngokusindiswa ngokufa kukaJesu. Nakuba lenkulumo emfishane iyiqiniso kuze kube manje, ukubhekisela kuphela kwensindiso ekufeni kukaJesu kungasitha umbono wethu ngokugcwala kokuthi ungubani nokuthi wenzeni ukuze sisindiswe. Izehlakalo zeSonto Elingcwele zisikhumbuza ukuthi ukufa kukaJesu - okubaluleke kakhulu njengoba kunjalo - kufanele kubonakale esimweni esikhudlwana esihlanganisa ukuzalwa kweNkosi yethu, ukufa kwayo, ukuvuka kwakhe kanye nokwenyukela kwakhe ezulwini. Zonke zibalulekile, izigaba ezibalulekile ezilukwe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa emsebenzini wakhe wokuhlenga - umsebenzi osinika ukuphila egameni lakhe. Ngakho phakathi neVeki Elingcwele, njengakuwo wonke unyaka, sifuna ukubona kuJesu umsebenzi ophelele wokuhlenga.
Ukuba senyameni
Ukuzalwa kukaJesu kwakungekhona ukuzalwa komuntu kwansuku zonke. Njengokwehlukile kuzo zonke izindlela, kufaka ukuqala kokuzalwa kukaNkulunkulu uqobo.Ngokuzalwa kukaJesu uNkulunkulu weza kithi njengomuntu ngendlela efanayo nabantu bonke abazalwa ngayo kusukela ku-Adam. Yize ahlala eyilokho ayeyikho, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu engunaphakade yathatha impilo yomuntu ngokuphelele kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni, kusukela ekuzalweni kuze kube sekufeni. Njengomuntu, unguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele futhi ungumuntu ngokuphelele. Kulesi sitatimende esinyantisayo sithola incazelo yaphakade efanele ukubongwa ngokulingana okuphakade.
Ngokuthatha kwayo isimo somuntu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu yaphakade yavela phakade futhi yangena endalweni yayo, ebuswa isikhathi nendawo, njengomuntu wenyama negazi. “ULizwi waba yinyama, wakha phakathi kwethu, sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo njengeyozelwe yedwa kuYise, egcwele umusa neqiniso” (Joh. 1,14).
Ngempela uJesu wayeyindoda yangempela kubo bonke ubuntu bakhe, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo futhi wayenguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele - onesimo esifanayo noYise noMoya oNgcwele. Ukuzalwa kwakhe kugcwalisa iziphrofetho eziningi futhi kuqukethe isithembiso sensindiso yethu.
Ukuba senyameni akugcinanga ekuzalweni kukaJesu - kwaqhubeka ngalé kwayo yonke impilo yakhe yasemhlabeni futhi kusabonakala nanamuhla ngokuphila kwakhe kobuntu okukhazinyulisiwe. INdodana kaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu (okungukuthi esesimweni somuntu) ihlala inesimo esifanayo nesikaYise noMoya oNgcwele - ubuNkulunkulu bakhe bukhona ngokungenakugodla futhi bunguSomandla emsebenzini - okwenza ukuphila kwakhe njengomuntu kube nencazelo eyingqayizivele. Yilokhu elikushoyo kwabaseRoma 8,34: “Ngokuba lokho umthetho owawungenakukwenza, lokhu wenziwa buthaka enyameni, uNkulunkulu wakwenza: Wathuma iNdodana yakhe isesimweni senyama enesono nangenxa yesono, walahla isono enyameni ukuze ukulunga kwesono okufunwa ngumthetho kuzogcwaliseka kithi, esingaphili ngokwenyama kodwa ngokoMoya.” UPawulu uqhubeka echaza ukuthi “sisindisiwe ngokuphila kwakhe” ( Roma 5,10).
Impilo nomsebenzi kaJesu kuxhumene ngokungenakuhlukaniswa - kokubili kuyingxenye yesimo somuntu. UNkulunkulu-Umuntu uJesu ungumpristi ophelele ophelele nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. Wabamba iqhaza emvelweni yomuntu futhi waletha ubulungiswa esintwini ngokuphila impilo engenasono. Leli qiniso lisivumela ukuthi siqonde ukuthi angabuhlakulela kanjani ubudlelwano noNkulunkulu nabantu. Ngenkathi sijwayele ukugubha ukuzalwa kwakhe ngoKhisimusi, izehlakalo zempilo yakhe yonke zihlala ziyingxenye yendumiso yethu ehlanganisa konke - ngisho nangesonto Elingcwele. Impilo yakhe iveza ubudlelwano bensindiso yethu. UJesu, esimweni sakhe uqobo, waletha uNkulunkulu nobuntu ndawonye ebudlelwaneni obuhle.

Inkulumo emfushane yokuthi sisindiswa ngokufa kukaJesu yenza abanye bacabange ukuthi ukufa kwakhe kwakuyinhlawulo eyalethwa uNkulunkulu emseni. Ngithandazela ukuthi sonke sibone ukukhohlisa kwalomcabango. U-TF Torrance ubhala ukuthi, ngokumelene nesizinda sokuqonda kahle kwemihlatshelo yeTestamente Elidala, asiwuboni umnikelo wobuhedeni ngenxa yentethelelo ekufeni kukaJesu, kodwa ubufakazi obunamandla bentando kaNkulunkulu onomusa (Ukuhlawulela: The Umuntu Nomsebenzi KaKristu : Umuntu kanye nenkonzo kaKristu], amakhasi 38-39). Imikhosi yemihlatshelo yobuqaba yayisekelwe esimisweni sokuphindisela, kuyilapho uhlelo lwemihlatshelo yakwaIsrayeli lwalusekelwe ekuthetheleleni nasekubuyisaneni. Kunokuba athole intethelelo ngosizo lweminikelo, ama-Israyeli azibona ekwazi uNkulunkulu ukuba akhululwe ezonweni zawo futhi abuyisane naye.
Ukuziphatha kuka-Israyeli komhlatshelo kwakuklanyelwe ukufakaza nokwembula uthando nomusa kaNkulunkulu maqondana nenjongo yokufa kukaJesu, okunikezwa ukubuyisana noYise. Ngokufa kwakhe, iNkosi yethu yabuye yamnqoba uSathane yawasusa amandla okufa uqobo: “Ngokuba abantwana begazi nenyama, naye wakwamukela kanjalo, ukuze kuthi ngokufa kwakhe asuse amandla alowo owafa. wayenegunya phezu kokufa, okungukuthi, uSathane, futhi wakhulula labo ababephoqelelwe ukuba yizigqila ukuphila kwabo konke ngokwesaba ukufa.” ( Hebheru 2,14-15). UPawulu wanezela ukuthi uJesu “kufanele abuse aze abeke izitha zonke ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Isitha sokugcina esiyobhujiswa ukufa” (1. AbaseKorinte 15,25-26). Ukufa kukaJesu kubonisa isici esihlawulelayo sensindiso yethu.
uvuko
NgeSonto lePhasika sigubha ukuvuka kukaJesu, okugcwaliseka ngakho iziprofetho eziningi zeTestamente Elidala. Umbhali wamaHeberu uveza ukuthi ukusindiswa kuka-Isaka ekufeni kwabonisa ukuvuka kwabafileyo (Hebheru 11,18-19). Encwadini kaJona sifunda ukuthi “wayesesiswini senhlanzi enkulu izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu” ( Jon 2:1 ). UJesu wabhekisela kuleso sigameko mayelana nokufa, ukungcwatshwa, nokuvuka kwakhe (Mathewu 1 Kor2,39-40); Mathewu 16,4 kanye nama-21; UJohane 2,18-enye).
Sigubha ukuvuka kukaJesu ngenjabulo enkulu ngoba kusikhumbuza ukuthi ukufa akusona isiphetho. Kunalokho, limelela isinyathelo esiphakathi endleleni yethu eya esikhathini esizayo - ukuphila okuphakade ekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu. NgePhasika sibungaza ukunqoba kukaJesu ukufa kanye nempilo entsha esiyoba nayo kuye. Sibheke phambili ngenjabulo esikhathini okwashiwo ngaso isAmbulo 21,4 inkulumo ithi: “[...] futhi uNkulunkulu uyosula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo, futhi ukufa ngeke kusaba khona, noma ukulila noma ukukhala noma ubuhlungu ngeke kusaba khona; ngokuba owokuqala udlulile.” Uvuko lumelela ithemba lokuhlengwa kwethu.

Ukuzalwa kukaJesu kwaba nomphumela wokuphila kwakhe nokuphila kwakhe ekufeni kwakhe. Kodwa-ke, asikwazi ukwehlukanisa ukufa kwakhe nokuvuka kwakhe, futhi asikwazi ukwehlukanisa ukuvuka kwakhe nokwenyuka kwakhe. Akaphumanga ethuneni wayophila impilo esesimweni somuntu. Ngokwesimo somuntu esikhazinyulisiwe, wenyukela kuBaba osezulwini, futhi kwaba ngomcimbi omkhulu lowo kuphela lapho umsebenzi ayewuqalile waphela khona.
Esethulweni sencwadi kaTorrances ethi Atonement, uRobert Walker wabhala: “Ngovuko, uJesu uthatha isimo sethu sobuntu asingenise kuye ngokwakhe futhi asilethe phambi kukaNkulunkulu ebunyeni nasekuhlanganyeleni kothando lukaZiqu-zintathu.” UCS Lewis wakubeka kanje: “Emlandweni wamaKrestu uNkulunkulu uyehla abese enyuka futhi.” Izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi uJesu wasiphakamisa kanye Naye. “[...] futhi wasivusa kanye naye, wasimisa ezulwini kuKristu Jesu, ukuze ezikhathini ezizayo abonakalise ingcebo enkulu yomusa wakhe ngobubele bakhe kithina kuKristu Jesu” ( Efesu 2,6-enye).
Ukuba sesimweni somuntu, ukufa, ukuvuka nokwenyuka - konke kuyingxenye yokuhlengwa kwethu futhi yingakho sidunyiswa ngeviki elingcwele. Lezi zimangaliso zibhekisa kukho konke uJesu asenzela khona kukho konke ukuphila kwakhe nomsebenzi. Unyaka wonke masizitholele ngokwengeziwe ukuthi ungubani nokuthi yini asenzele yona. Umele umsebenzi ophelele wokuhlengwa.
Kwangathi izibusiso esizithola ngoJesu Kristu zinganikezwa wena nabathandekayo bakho,
