Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-6

Wenza ntoni uThixo, yintoni ayivumelayo yaye ngoba? Enye yezona ncwadi zindala eBhayibhileni, ukuba asiyiyo eyona indala, ijongene nalo mbuzo: Incwadi kaYobhi.

Utshaba lukaThixo alufane lukhankanywe

Njengezinye iincwadi ezimbalwa kwiBhayibhile yesiHebhere, incwadi kaYobhi isenza sikwazi ukukroba emva koko. Kwindinyana yesixhenxe yesahluko sokuqala kwezingama-42 zizonke, sichazelwa ngobuntu ekuthethwa ngabo kwakhona ngexesha likaDavide: uSathana, ummangaleli notshaba lukaThixo.

Kuyo yonke iBhayibhile yesiHebhere kukho izihlandlo ezithathu kuphela apho kuthethwa ngaye ngokucacileyo: uYobhi 1, 1 Kronike 21 noZekariya 3. Kungenjalo sifumana nje iingcebiso. Ngamanye amaxesha kuthethwa ngaye ngemifanekiso: njengokumkani waseBhabheli (Isaya 14), njengokumkani waseTire (Hezekile 28). Ngamanye amaxesha uzimela emva koneshologu: inyoka kwiGenesis 1, umoya wabafileyo ku-3 Samuweli 1.

Ngaba ababhali beBhayibhile babengazi kangako ngoSathana? Okanye ngaba ngabom abazange bamnikele ingqalelo encinane ukuze azukise uThixo kuphela? Okanye ngaba sikho esinye isizathu?

Iimbono ezintathu: Ngaba ipeni iyawa?

Ukugqala ingcaciso yencwadi kaYobhi njengento ebalulekileyo ekuqondeni umsebenzi kaSathana kunokutshintsha imbono yethu ngesigidimi seBhayibhile kuze komeleze ulwalamano lwethu noThixo.

Zintathu izinto ezicacayo kwincwadi kaYobhi:

Okokuqala, nguSathana oyintloko nomphathi wabo bonke ububi. Wacel’ umngeni uThixo esithi: “Yolula isandla sakho, uchukumise into yonke anayo uYobhi.” ( Yobhi 1,11:1,13 ) “Kodwa uThixo akanakulingwa ebubini.” ( Yakobi 1,12:2,5 ) Ngoko wayibuyisela kuSathana ibhola: “Khangela! , konke anako kusesandleni sakho.” ( Yobhi 6:XNUMX ) Emva koko uSathana wezisa iintlekele ezintathu kuYobhi: imibane, ukuphanga nenkanyamba zabulala izilwanyana zikaYobhi, abakhonzi nabantwana bakhe. Kwakhona wamlinga uThixo: “Yolula isandla sakho, uchukumise emathanjeni akhe nasenyameni yakhe.” ( Yobhi XNUMX:XNUMX ) Kwakhona uThixo wayibuyisela ibhola kuSathana: “Khangela, usesandleni sakho, kodwa uwugcine umphefumlo wakhe! ivesi XNUMX). Xa umpostile uYakobi ebhala ukuba uThixo akanakuhendwa ukuba enze ububi, usenza siqonde ukuba njengabantu sisoloko sicinga ngendlela engeyiyo imeko: siyamkrokrela uThixo. Siyakuthandabuza ukulunga kwakhe. Siyakukhumbula ukujonga ngasemva.

Okwesibini, uSathana uzisa intlekele nezifo, ephazamisa unqabiseko nempilo uThixo ayidalele izidalwa Zakhe. Unobangela wokubandezeleka asingoThixo. Akakholiswa kukubandezeleka nokufa. Kambe ke ngobulumko nangothando lwakhe ulunika ububi ithuba, aluyeke lukhule. USathana, kwelinye icala, “esisibulala-mntu kwasekuqaleni” ( Yohane 8,44:1,16.17 ). Kukangaphi simgxeka uThixo ngeentlekele nokugula? “Ningenzi mpazamo, zithandwa zam. Zizipho ezilungileyo kuphela, kwanezigqibeleleyo, ziphuma phezulu, ziphuma kuye uYise wokukhanya, ongenako ukukhanya kuye ebumnyameni.

Okwesithathu, nguThixo obekek’ ityala. Emva kokubulawa kwabantu abamsulwa, uThixo uthi kuSathana: “Wandihenda ukuba ndimtshabalalise uYobhi kungekho sizathu.” ( Yobhi 2,3:1,21 ) Bubugxwayiba obungakanani? Akukho ndawo kwincwadi kaYobhi apho uThixo azihlambayo izandla zakhe ukuze angabi natyala. Kunoko, ushiya uYobhi ecinga ukuba onke amashwa abangelwa nguye. Emva kwezibetho ezimbi zelishwa, uYobhi uthi: “UYehova wanika, uYehova uthabathile; igama likaYehova malibongwe!” ( Yobhi 2,10:42,11 ) Nasekuguleni kwakhe uyangqina. “Sizuza okulungileyo kuThixo na, singamkeli nokubi na?” ( Yobhi XNUMX:XNUMX ) Yaye ekupheleni kwencwadi ithi: “Bonke, bamthuthuzela uYobhi ngenxa yobubi bonke abenaye uYehova. eziswe phezu kwakhe.” ( Yobhi XNUMX:XNUMX ) UThixo ukulungele ukuthwala imbopheleleko ngayo yonke imiphumo ebuhlungu. Kodwa ekupheleni, njengakwincwadi kaYobhi, uya kwaphula isangqa esikhohlakeleyo, osule iinyembezi aze asithululele ngeentsikelelo ezingakumbi kunezo besinazo ngaphambi kokuba siqalise ukubandezeleka kwethu.

UYesu ususa umkhusane umva

Xa uThixo wamthumelayo uKrestu wakhe ehlabathini ukuba amnikele ehlabathini, kulapho kwabonakala khona ubuntu bakhe. Ngenxa yokuba kuYesu, uThixo masikhangele entliziyweni yakhe: “UNyana woMntu engazelanga kutshabalalisa imiphefumlo yabantu, weza kuyisindisa.” ( Luka 9,56:XNUMX ) Ngoko ke, uThixo unjalo, kuba sivunyelwe. ukuze bambone kuMesiya. “Wathabatha izifo zethu waza wathwala iintlungu zethu. Kwaye thina cinga, wayeya kulahlwa, abethwe aze athotywe nguThixo. Kodwa ngenxa yezikreqo zethu wahlatywa, watyunyuzwa ngenxa yokunxaxha kwethu. Wohlwaywa ukuze sibe noxolo. Ngayo imivumbo yakhe siphilisiwe... UYehova waziphosa kuye izono zethu sonke.” ( Isaya 53,4:XNUMX ) UBawo osemazulwini ubandezeleka kunye nathi, phakathi kwethu naphezu kwethu, kanye ngenxa yokuba singuye. umrhanelwa njengalowo bekuza kuvela kuye iimbandezelo.

UThixo akangomtshabalalisi kodwa ungumsindisi. Endaweni yokuthumela ukugula neentlungu, uzithabathela kuye ukugula, intlungu, isono kunye netyala. Ngolu lwazi sisenokufunda zonke iingxelo zeBhayibhile apho amashwa, ukugula, intlungu, isono nokuba netyala kubonakala ngathi kubangelwa nguThixo, iingxelo apho utshaba lukaThixo lungakhankanywanga konke konke, kodwa nguThixo obekek’ ityala ngayo yonke into. Ukuba umkhusane ubunokususwa, besiya kubona kuzo zonke iindawo indima edlalwa lutshaba nomkhosi walo weedemon. Kakade ke, sinokufunda kwiLizwi likaThixo ukuthetha kuphela oko kuncinane ngolo tshaba ukuze singanikeli ingqalelo nembeko encinane kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Ngokufanayo, sinokufumana unqabiseko kumandla onke kaThixo, kwanokuba asisoloko siyiqonda yonke into.

Inkosi yexoki

Noko ke, kunokomeleza ukholo lwethu kuThixo; inokuvumela umlilo wothando uvuthe ngokuqaqambileyo uze wondle ngokuqhubekayo amalangatye enkanuko xa uSathana ebhencwa ukuba ungubani na: “Ulixoki noyise wawo.” ( Yohane 8,44:XNUMX ) Ngoko ke, xa uSathana ebhencwa ukuba ungubani na, ‘ulixoki, noyise wawo.

“USathana weza emhlabeni wethu waza walinga abantu. Isono kwabakho ukugula nokubandezeleka, kuba sivuna oko sikuhlwayeleyo. USathana wenza abantu babekek’ ityala uThixo ngokubandezeleka okubangelwa kukwaphulwa kwemithetho yendalo. Ngoko uThixo utyholwa ngokungafanelekanga yaye ubuntu bakhe bumelwa phosakeleyo. Ubekw’ ityala ngento eyenziwa nguSathana ngokwakhe. UThixo ufuna abantu bakhe balubhence olu tshaba lobuxoki. Wabanika ulwazi lokuba ivangeli yenza abantu baphile. Njengabameli bayo, bavunyelwe ukudlulisela oku kukhanya kwabanye. Njengoko bethomalalisa ukubandezeleka kwabantu, banokukhanyisela imvelaphi yako konke ukubandezeleka baze balathise ingqondo kuYesu, umphilisi omkhulu womphefumlo nomzimba. Intliziyo yakhe enovelwano unovelwano ngabo bonke abo babandezelekayo emhlabeni, yaye usebenza naye wonk’ ubani osebenza ukuze aphelise ukubandezeleka. Xa impilo ibuya neentsikelelo zaKhe, isimilo sikaThixo sibuyiselwa kwindawo yaso eyiyo, kwaye ubuxoki butyunyuzwa bubuyele kuSathana, umbhali wabo.” (Ellen White, I-Spalding kunye ne-Magan Collection, iphepha 127)
