Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu akhethe esi silwanyana? Ngu-Stephan Kobes

Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu eyi-12

Imikhwazo enemincili ye-hosanna ivakala emoyeni. Ababukeli abanomdla bayabaleka besuka macala onke ukuze bambone. Ngokukhawuleza banqumla isebe lesundu ukuze banike imbeko kule ndoda. Akwatshongo na ukuthi lo ngukumkani omtsha wakwaSirayeli? Nanko esiza. Engqongwe ngawona maqabane akhe athembekileyo, ukhwela iesile endleleni. Igama lakhe nguYesu. Ubuvile okuninzi ngaye. Ngaba yayilixesha ekudala lilindelwe xa wayeza kuthimba intonga yohlanga?

Siwazi kakuhle lo mmandla. Xa wayengena eYerusalem ngaloo mini, isahluko sokugqibela-esona sibalulekileyo-somsebenzi wakhe wobomi obalulekileyo savulwa phambi koYesu. Umprofeti uZekariya wavakalisa ukuba ngenye imini ukumkani oligorha wayeya kukhwela ithole leesile ukuya kwisiXeko esiNgcwele: “Vuya kakhulu, ntombi inguZiyon; vuya, ntombi inguYerusalem; Yabona, ukumkani wakho uza kuwe; Yena ulilungisa, unguMsindisi, uthobekile, ekhwele e-esileni, ekhwele ithole, inkonyana ye-esile.”— Zekariya 9,9:XNUMX .

Idonki kamesiya?

Enyanisweni, ngaloo mini uYesu wanyula iesile “ekungazanga kuhlale namnye umntu phezu kwalo” ( Luka 19,30:XNUMX ). Kwandula ke, njengoko wayengena eYerusalem ngaloo mini, isihlwele esasilindelwe sakubona oko njengomqondiso wolawulo oluzayo lukaMesiya. Kodwa kwakutheni ukuze uThixo akhethe idonki ukuba yenze oku? Ngaba uThixo wayinxulumanisa nenjongo enzulu ngakumbi? Siyintoni isilwanyana esisivumelayo ukuba sithwale uMesiya noKumkani ekudala silindelwe kumse ekumiselweni kwakhe?

Idonki kudala isisilwanyana esibalulekileyo eMpuma. Njengerhamncwa lomthwalo nehashe lomsebenzi, yayiyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi bemihla ngemihla (Genesis 1:42,26; 45,23:1; 16,20 Samuweli 2:16,1.2; XNUMX Samuweli XNUMX:XNUMX). Ngamanye amaxesha kuthe cwaka, ngamanye amaxesha kukhala kakhulu, idonki yabonwa kwaye yavakala edolophini nasemaphandleni. Abantu babemxabisile: ezimisele ukusebenza, eqinile kwaye ethembekile njengoko wayenjalo, wayengumsebenzi ogqwesileyo. Kodwa eneneni idonki ingaphezulu lee kunesithwala esinomonde! Esi sidalwa sikhohlakeleyo, sikrelekrele kwaye sithambileyo siyinkosi yokwenyani yotshintsho: ngephile ubomi obulungileyo njengomlawuli we-steppe kude nayo yonke impucuko. Kodwa wayincama loo nkululeko ukuze azibalule njengomkhonzi woluntu.

Ukusuka kumlawuli ukuya kwisicaka

Umlawuli wethafa? Ewe! Idonki yasendle iyakwazi ukumelana nokuswela nokuhamba imigama emide. Uphila ngokutya okuncinane namanzi, yaye unokunyamezela nobushushu obukhulu. Ezi mpawu zamzuzela iwonga lembeko »uKumkani waseNtlango« phakathi kweengcali. Ngenxa yezi mpawu, idonki yasendle ikwasetyenziswa kwiZibhalo Ezingcwele njengomfuziselo wenkululeko:

39,5Yayikhulula iesile lasendle, lazicombululela iimbophelelo zalo. Ndamnika indawo yokuhlala, iindawo ezinetyuwa ukuba ahlale kuzo. Liyayihleka ingxokozelo yesixeko, alikuva ukukhala komqhubi.”— Yobhi 7:XNUMX-XNUMX .

Iesile lasendle lithanda inkululeko; Unako kwakhona ukuphila ubomi obumnandi kakhulu eyedwa. Ayimangalisi ke ngoko into yokuba iqabane lasekhaya – idonki – lalisoloko lifunyanwa njengesicaka esithembekileyo ecaleni komntu? Ewe! Kodwa yiloo nto kanye eyayenza idonki yaba yokhethekileyo, iyenza ibe luphawu oluxabisekileyo lomsebenzi nenkqubela phambili.

Akukho nkqubela-phambili ngaphandle kwedonki

Ungamfumana kulo lonke ihlabathi. Ikumazwe onke, kwilizwekazi ngalinye. Kwanamaxesha amnyama, idonki yabakhulula ngokuzithandela abantu kumsebenzi onzima: njengendlela yokuthutha, kwezolimo, kunye nokuveliswa kwezinto ezibalulekileyo. Ngale ndlela, ilulwane elithembekileyo elineendlebe ezinde lenze umsebenzi omkhulu kwaye ladlala indima ephambili ekuchumeni kwayo yonke impucuko.

Ke kutheni singasamboni namhlanje?

Utshintshiselwano olungenambulelo

Kangangexesha elide, idonki yayigqalwa njengeyona ndlela yokuthutha. Kodwa ngokusungulwa kwe-wheeler ezimbini - "idonki yebhayisikili" yethu eyaziwayo jikelele - kunye nokufika kwenjini yokutsha yangaphakathi, idonki njengendlela yokuthutha yayiphelile. Impucuko echumileyo yatyhalela idonki emaphandleni. Kodwa nakwezolimo, ekugqibeleni idonki yathatyathelw’ indawo ngoomatshini abasebenzayo kodwa abangxolayo. Ngokwenza oko, abantu babeyibetha ngoyaba into yokuba akukho nqwelo-mafutha, ibhayisekile okanye ilori enamehlo anesimo esihle kunye nendalo enothando njengedonki.

Italente ejikelezileyo

Kodwa usekho! Kwimimandla emininzi yeentaba, engekaphuhliselwa impumelelo yenkqubela-phambili yemizi-mveliso, idonki isenako ukubonisa amandla akhethekileyo: kuba idonki iqinisekile ngeenyawo nakwindawo engahambekiyo. Ngenxa yoko, abemi baloo mimandla bayamthanda!

Ukungakhathali kwaye kunzima njengoko enjalo, ubonakalisa ukuba ukrelekrele, uthambile kwaye uzimisele ukufunda ngaxeshanye. Emva kokuba idonki ikuqondile oko icelwayo kuyo, inokuzenzela umsebenzi othile. Idonki isoloko ikhetha eyona ndlela ilungileyo. Oko ngamanye amaxesha kunokuqondwa phosakeleyo njengenkani - ukuba idonki ibingenakukhetha enye indlela umlawuli okrelekrele afuna ukumnika yona.

Unenkani njengedonki?

Ke, njengoko i-cliché ihamba, ngaba idonki imoyekile okanye inenkani? Hayi! Iidonki ziqwalasela kakhulu kwaye zicingisise kakuhle malunga nento abayenzayo - phambi kokuba benze. Esi sidalwa sikrelekrele senza ngenyameko yonke into esiyibonayo nesiyenzayo. Oku sele kubasindise abanye abantu kwingozi enkulu!

Ndenze ntoni na, le nto undibethe izihlandlo ezithathu ngoku?” ( Numeri 4:22,28 ) Wacaphuka uBhileham. Imazi yedonki yakhe ayizange ifune ukuqhubeka. Ingozi yayiphambi kwakhe angazange ayibone noMprofeti. Ingelosi kaThixo yema endleleni yalo mprofeti ukuze imthintele ukuba angaqhubeli phambili. Xa uBhileham, enethemba lokuyikhulula idonki yakhe, wayithabatha intonga yakhe waza wayibetha ngokuphindaphindiweyo eso silwanyana sihlwempuzekileyo, uThixo wanika idonki ithuba lokuvakalisa iimvakalelo zayo ngolwimi lwabantu. Lathi iesile kuBhileham, Andililo iesile lakho na, ohleli ulikhwela unanamhla? Bendingumkhwa wam na ukukuphatha ngolu hlobo?” ( Numeri 4:22,30 ) Lo mprofeti wathi hayi. Emva koko uThixo wambonisa ukuba idonki yakhe yayisandul’ ukusindisa ubomi bakhe ekucingeni ukuba inenkani.

uthando oluthambileyo

Idonki inesimo esilungeleleneyo nesinovakalelo. Uva kakuhle kakhulu, uyaziva enuka kamnandi kwaye ubona kakuhle. Ngoko ukubona ngokunzulu oko kwenzekayo ngakuye. Ukuba unenkani, kunokwenzeka ukuba uyibonile ingozi okanye ufumanise enye indlela engcono. Ngoko yayingelulo uvuyo olulunya olwabangela ukuba iesile likaBhileham liphikise ukuthanda komnini walo. Hayi! Idonki, njengoko siza kubona kungekudala, eneneni ingaphezu komkhonzi kunomvukeli.

Kweminye imimandla yaseRomania, abemi basemaphandleni maxa wambi babengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuqhuba idonki yabo ukuya ehlathini ngasekupheleni kokwindla. Babengamahlwempu kangangokuba babengenakukwazi nokondla idonki. Amahlwempu awayesekuthinjweni aye ke anyanzelwa ukuba anyamezele ubusika obuqhaqhazelis’ amazinyo kwindawo engumqwebedu yasebusika. Noko ke, xa indalo yabuyela entlakohlaza, iidonki ezininzi zabuyela kubaninizo. Oku kubonisa ummangaliso wozinikelo olungenanzondo nxamnye nobuthathaka bomntu!

Njengesilwanyana esisebenzayo nesilwanyana somthwalo, njengomhlobo onyanisekileyo neqabane elinovelwano, idonki ayizange imke ecaleni komntu. Njengomlungiseleli wobuthathaka bobuntu ( Eksodus 2:4,20; 2 Samuweli 19,27:2; 28,15 Kronike XNUMX:XNUMX ), usenza sazi ukuba asisodwa kwiingxaki zobomi. Iindlebe ezincamathelayo ezineendlebe ezinde zityhila uthando olungaqhelekanga.

Isilwanyana esifezekileyo sikaMesiya

Ngoko ke, ngaba iesile, ngenxa yeempawu zalo ezimangalisayo, liyasikhanyisela ngesizathu sokuba uThixo alikhethe ukuba lithwale uMesiya limsa kwindawo apho, kungekudala emva koko, wayeya kubonakalisa uthando lukaYise olungasikelwanga mda? Ewe! Lowo wayekhe waba ngumqondiso wenkululeko - umlawuli we-steppe - uba ngumkhonzi womntu. Esikhundleni sokuhlala yedwa, ekude nobuntu kunye nokuhleka izinto ezenziwa ngabantu, waba ngumkhonzi, umhlobo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba imeko ithini na. Kukunyaniseka oko. olu luthando

Ngale ndlela, idonki igcina inkumbulo yothando lukaThixo—yemigaqo yakhe yolawulo, ebonisa indlela aqhubana ngayo nathi bantu ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla: “Kuba niyalwazi ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu: yathi, ibisisityebi nje, yaba sisityebi. ulihlwempu ngenxa yenu, ukuze nina nibe zizityebi ngobuhlwempu bakhe.” ( 2 Korinte 8,9:2,6.7 ) “Ezintweni zonke wayelingana noThixo, ukanti akazange abambelele ngokunyoluka ekumfuzeni kwakhe. Wancama onke amalungelo akhe waza waba njengekhoboka. Waba ngumntu kweli hlabathi waza wahlukanisa ubomi babantu.”— Filipi XNUMX:XNUMX, XNUMX .

idonki nemvana

Kakade ke, asimele silibale ukuba idonki yayingamelanga iMvana kaThixo. Asiyodonki ekufuneka itsalele ingqalelo. Yayingengomsebenzi wakhe, yaye yayingeyondlela yakhe, iMvana kaThixo yayiyeyona nto inomtsalane. Nangona kunjalo, yayiyinqwelo ekhethiweyo yokuthwala iMvana kaThixo ukuya kwindawo apho uthando olukhulu lukaThixo ngoluntu lwaluya kutyhilwa khona: iSixeko esiNgcwele.

IMvana kaThixo, ethwala isuse isono sehlabathi, ikhwele e-esileni, isiya endaweni yedini elikhulu. Ngaba oku akusikhumbuzi kwakhona ngo-Abraham ebophisa idonki yakhe waza wathabatha unyana wakhe uIsake ukuya kwenza idini eliyalelweyo ( Genesis 1:22,3 )? Ewe!

Ndikhaliphe kude kube sekupheleni

Ngeli xesha, enye into ekhethekileyo yedonki ifika phambili: idonki - ngokungafaniyo nehashe - kungekhona isilwanyana sokubhabha. Xa ithole le-esile lamthwala uYesu limsa kwisiXeko esiNgcwele, akazange othuke, phezu kwawo nje umbono ocacileyo owawuphambi kwakhe. Kwakungekho mvukelo, kungekho mvukelo. Ngenkalipho wenza inkqubela phantsi kokhokelo loNyana kaThixo.

Kakade ke, idonki yangqineka iliqabane eligqibeleleyo. NoYesu wayengafuni ukubaleka xa ejamelene nengozi eyayisiza: Wabubhekisa ubuso bakhe ngakwiYerusalem ukuze ahambe aye khona—esazi kakuhle ukuba oko kwakuya kumenza alahlekelwe bubomi bakhe—kodwa akukho nto yaye kungekho bani unokumnqanda kuyo. ( Luka 9,51:XNUMX ). Ekuthi saa kwempahla emfutshane, iesile lamthwala limse eYerusalem, endaweni yesigwebo.

idonki nomgwebi

Kakade ke, nabani na oqhelene neBhayibhile akayi kusilela ukuphawula ukuba ngamaxesha eTestamente Endala oonyana babagwebi babekhwela ematholeni eesile.

Ngokomzekelo, uYahire ( Heb. ‘uyakhanyisa’), umgwebi wakwaSirayeli, ‘wayenoonyana abangama-30 ababekhwele amaesile angama-30, yaye babenezixeko ezingama-30, ezibizwa ngokuba ‘yimizana yakwaYayire’ de kube namhlanje’ ( ABagwebi 10,4 . :XNUMX).

Umgwebi uAbhedon wayenoonyana abamashumi mane, nabazukulwana abangamashumi amathathu, ababekhwele emaesileni amashumi asixhenxe; Wawalawula amaSirayeli iminyaka esibhozo.”— ABagwebi 40:30 .

Nako oku kunentsingiselo enzulu. Abagwebi bakwaSirayeli babenomsebenzi wokuvakalisa ukuza kukaThixo njengomgwebi. Akukho zinkcukacha zingabalulekanga. Ngomhla xa uYesu Krestu ngoko wangena kwiSixeko esiNgcwele, umzuzu omkhulu wawufikile ekugqibeleni. NjengoNyana kaThixo, ngokuqinisekileyo uYesu ‘wayengumgwebi omiswe nguThixo wabaphilayo nowabafileyo’ ( IZenzo 10,42:XNUMX ). Sisiphi isilwanyana awayekhwele kuso uYesu? Ngqo! Edonkini!

Idabi elikhethekileyo

UYesu akazange angene kwiSixeko esiNgcwele ekhwele ihashe, engaxhobelanga imfazwe okanye idabi. Hayi! Idonki ayizange ibe sisilwanyana sasemfazweni. Kodwa ukuthobeka kwakhe, uthando lwakhe lwenkonzo lwalufanele uthumo lukaYesu njengoMesiya. Akazelanga ukoyisa ngekrele, kodwa ngothando oluthobekileyo nolwedini. Apho kwakulele umqondiso wamandla akhe obuthixo.

Xa uYesu wangena eYerusalem ngaloo mini, weza njengomgwebi, kodwa kungekhona ukuza koyisa emfazweni. Kwaye akazange eze ukuba asabe. Weza kusindisa. Wangena kwintolongo yokuqala. Kuye ngokwakhe – ngomzimba wakhe – umgwebo lowo ubumelwe kukuba wababetha bonke abanxaxhayo bomthetho kaThixo. Oku kwakuza kwenzeka ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye babe nobomi obungunaphakade. Umgwebi wazivumela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni “njengeMvana kaThixo, ethwala isuse isono sehlabathi” ukuze sikhululeke ( Yohane 1,29:XNUMX ).

Umyalezo othambileyo wobabalo

Kwesi senzo sokuqala saloo mini inkulu yomgwebo, idonki yema ngokuthembeka ecaleni komgwebi owayemiselwe nguThixo. Ngale nto, iindlebe ezithembekileyo ezineendlebe ezinde zayinceda iMvana kaThixo ngeempawu zayo ezimangalisayo ukuba igcine inkumbulo yobabalo olukhethekileyo lukaThixo iphila kude kube namhlanje.

Esinjani sona ukumangalisa isidalwa!
