Isibusiso sikaJesu

Ngokuvamile uma ngihamba, ngicelwa ukuba ngikhulume ezinkonzweni zebandla iGrace Communion International, izinkomfa, kanye nemihlangano yebhodi. Kwesinye isikhathi ngibuye ngicelwe ukuthi ngisho isibusiso sokugcina. Ngibe sengithatha kaningi ezibusisweni u-Aroni azinika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ehlane (unyaka ngemva kokubaleka kwabo eGibhithe nangaphambi kokuba bangene eZweni Lesithembiso). Ngaleso sikhathi, uNkulunkulu wayala u-Israyeli ngokusetshenziswa komthetho. Abantu babengazinzile futhi kunalokho babengenzi lutho (phela, babeyizigqila ukuphila kwabo konke!). Mhlawumbe bacabanga ukuthi, “UNkulunkulu wasihola eLwandle Olubomvu wasikhipha eGibhithe futhi wasinika umthetho wakhe. Kodwa manje sesilapha, sisazulazula ogwadule. Yini elandelayo?” Kodwa uNkulunkulu akazange aphendule ngokwembula kubo ngokuningiliziwe icebo lakhe ngabo. Kunalokho, wabakhuthaza ukuba babheke kuye ngokholo:

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: “Yisho ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe, uthi: 'Niyakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, lapho nibabusisa, ukuthi: 'UJehova makakubusise, akulondoloze; uJehova makakhanyise ubuso bakhe phezu kwenu, abe nomusa kini; uJehova makaphakamise ubuso bakhe phezu kwakho, akuphe ukuthula (4. mose 6,22).

Ngiyambona u-Aaron emi phambi kwezingane zikaNkulunkulu ezithandekayo evule izingalo zakhe esho lesi sibusiso. Yeka ukuthi kwakuyinhlonipho engakanani okwakumele ibe yiyo ukwethula izibusiso zeNkosi kubo. Njengoba ngineqiniso uyazi, u-Aaron wayengumpristi omkhulu wokuqala wesizwe samaLevi:

Kepha u-Aroni wahlukaniselwa ukungcwelisa okungcwelengcwele, yena namadodana akhe, ukunikela kuze kube phakade phambi kukaJehova, bamkhonze, babusise egameni likaJehova kuze kube phakade (1 IziKr.3,13).

Ukunikezwa kwesibusiso kwakuyisenzo sokudumisa okunenhlonipho, esimweni lapho uNkulunkulu anikezwa khona abantu bakhe ukukhuthazwa - lapha ngesikhathi sokuphuma okunzima kusuka eGibhithe kuya eZweni Lesithembiso. Lesi sibusiso sobupristi sasibhekisa egameni likaNkulunkulu kanye nesibusiso sokuthi abantu bakhe baphile ngesiqinisekiso somusa nokubonelela kweNkosi.

Yize lesi sibusiso sanikezwa okokuqala kubantu abakhathele nabadangele ohambweni lwabo oludabula ugwadule, ngiyabona futhi ukusho kwabo kithi namhlanje. Kunezikhathi lapho, sizizwe sengathi sizulazula ngokungafanele, siphinde sibheke ngokungaqiniseki esikhathini esizayo. Ngemuva kwalokho sidinga amazwi esikhuthazo asikhumbuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu usibusisile futhi uyaqhubeka nokwelula isandla sakhe esivikelayo. Kumele sizikhumbuze ukuthi wenza ubuso bakhe bukhanye kithi, unomusa kithi futhi usinika ukuthula kwakhe. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, noma kunjalo, akumele sikhohlwe ukuthi ngothando wasithumela iNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu - umpristi ophakeme omkhulu nowokugcina ofeza isibusiso sika-Aaron.

Iviki Elingcwele (elibizwa nangokuthi Isonto Lokuhlushwa) liqala cishe isonto ngeSonto Lesundu (isikhumbuzo sokungena kukaJesu ngokunqoba eJerusalema), kulandelwa uLwesine Olukhulu (ukugubha iSidlo Sakusihlwa Sokugcina), uLwesihlanu Oluhle (umkhosi wokulunga kukaNkulunkulu kithi). owembulwa ngomhlatshelo omkhulu kunayo yonke) nangoMgqibelo Ongcwele (okhumbula ukungcwatshwa kukaJesu). Bese kulandela usuku lwesishiyagalombili olugqamile—iSonto lePhasika, lapho sigubha ukuvuka komPristi wethu Omkhulu uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu (Heb. 4,14). Lesi sikhathi sonyaka siyisikhumbuzo esinamandla sokuthi sibusiswa kuze kube phakade “ngazo zonke izibusiso zomoya ezulwini ngoKristu” (Efe. 1,3).

Yebo, sonke sihlangabezana nezikhathi zokungaqiniseki. Kepha singaphumula kalula ngokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu usibusise ngokumangalisayo kanjani kuKristu. Igama likaNkulunkulu lilungisa indlela yomhlaba njengomfula ohamba ngamandla, amanzi awo agelezela esuka emthonjeni wawo aze aye kude ezweni. Yize singakuboni lokhu kulungiselelwa ngokugcwele, siyazi ngenhlonipho ngalokho empeleni okuvezwayo kithi. UNkulunkulu usibusisa ngokweqiniso. ISonto Elingcwele liyisikhumbuzo esigcizelelayo salokhu.

Ngenkathi abantu bakwa-Israyeli bezwa isibusiso sika-Aroni sobupristi futhi ngokungangabazeki bezizwa sikhuthazwa yiso, basheshe bakhohlwa izethembiso zikaNkulunkulu. Lokhu ngokwengxenye bekungenxa yemikhawulo, ngisho nobuthakathaka, bobupristi babantu. Ngisho nabapristi ababedlula bonke futhi abathembeke kakhulu kwa-Israyeli babefa. Kepha uNkulunkulu weza nokuthile okungcono (umpristi ophakeme ongcono). Incwadi eya kumaHeberu isikhumbuza ukuthi uJesu, ophilayo kuze kube phakade, ungumpristi wethu omkhulu waphakade:

Ngakho-ke futhi angasindisa ingunaphakade labo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, ngoba uhlala ephila ukuze abamele. Umpristi ophakeme onjalo ubesifanele nathi: lowo ongcwele, ongenacala futhi ongangcolile, ohlukaniswe nezoni futhi ophakeme ngaphezu kwamazulu [...] (Hebr. 7, 25-26; iZurich Bible).

Isithombe sika-Aaron esakaza izingalo zakhe phezu kuka-Israyeli ekubusiseni sisibhekisa kumpristi ophakeme kakhulu, uJesu Kristu. Isibusiso uJesu asinikeza abantu bakaNkulunkulu sidlula isibusiso sika-Aaron (sibanzi, sinamandla kakhulu futhi singesomuntu uqobo):

ngiyakufaka imithetho yami ezingqondweni zabo, ngiyilobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami. Futhi akekho oyofundisa abantu bakubo futhi akekho umfowabo ngamazwi athi: Yazi iNkosi! Ngoba wonke umuntu uzongazi, kusukela komncane kuye komkhulu. Ngoba ngiyosebenzelana nesihe ngezenzo zabo ezingalungile, futhi angisayikuzikhumbula izono zabo (Heb.8,10-12; IBhayibheli leZurich).

UJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ukhuluma ngesibusiso sokuxolelwa esizosenza sibuyisane noNkulunkulu futhi sibuyisele ubuhlobo bethu obaphukile naye. Kuyisibusiso esizoletha ushintsho ngaphakathi kwethu oluzofinyelela ekujuleni kwezinhliziyo nezingqondo zethu. Kusiphakamisela ekuzinikeleni okusondele kakhulu nasekuhlanganyeleni noSomandla. NgeNdodana kaNkulunkulu, umfowethu, sazi uNkulunkulu njengoBaba wethu. NgoMoya wakhe oNgcwele siba ngabantwana bakhe abathandekayo.

Njengoba ngicabanga ngeViki Elingcwele, ngicabanga esinye isizathu sokuthi kungani lesi sibusiso sibaluleke kangaka kithi. Lapho uJesu efa esiphambanweni, izingalo zakhe zazeluliwe. Impilo yakhe eyigugu, eyanikelwa njengomhlatshelo wethu, yayiyisibusiso, isibusiso saphakade esisezweni. UJesu wacela uBaba ukuthi asithethelele kukho konke ukona kwethu, wabe esefa ukuze siphile.

Ngemuva kokuvuka kwakhe nangaphambi nje kokwenyuka kwakhe, uJesu wanikeza esinye isibusiso:
Kepha wabaholela eBethaniya, waphakamisa izandla zakhe, wababusisa, kwathi esababusisa wahlukana nabo, wenyukela ezulwini. Kodwa bakhuleka kuye, babuyela eJerusalema benokuthokoza okukhulu ( Luka 24,50-enye).

Empeleni, uJesu wayethi kubafundi bakhe ngaleso sikhathi namanje: “Mina ngokwami ​​ngiyokubusisa, ngikusekele, ngikhanyise ubuso bami phezu kwakho, ngibe nomusa kuwe; ngiphakamisela ubuso bami phezu kwakho, ngikunike ukuthula.”

Sengathi singaqhubeka nokuphila ngaphansi kwezibusiso zeNkosi noMsindisi wethu, noma yikuphi ukungaqiniseki esingahlangabezana nakho.

Ngikubingelela ngokubuka ngokwethembeka kuJesu,
