Ukuphalazwa kwegazi kwaEdom. NguKai Mester

Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-10

Nabani na ofunda esi sicatshulwa silandelayo somprofeti uIsaya uya kuziva ngathi sele efikile kwiTestamente eNdala. Kodwa ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba wonke umntu uqale amfunde nge-lens yamava akhe kunye nabantu abanomsindo? Ngeliso loloyiko lwakhe?

Ngubani na lo uza evela kwaEdom, evela eBhotsera, enezambatho ezibomvu, evethe iingubo zakhe, ehamba ngamandla akhe amakhulu? Ndim mna, ndithetha ngobulungisa, mna ndinamandla okunceda. »Ndingene ndedwa kwisixovulelo sewayini, akwabakho namnye unam phakathi kweentlanga. Ndabaqoba ndinomsindo, Ndabanyathela ngobushushu bam. Igazi lakhe latshitsha ezimpahleni zam, ndangcolisa ingubo yam yonke. Ngokuba ndiwucwangcise umhla wempindezelo; unyaka wokukhulula eyam wawufikile. Ndalaqaza, akwabakho mncedi, ndikhwankqiswe kukuba kungekho mntu undincedayo. Yandinceda ingalo yam, umsindo wam wandinceda. Ndiya kuzinyathela iintlanga ndinomsindo, ndazinxilisa ndinomsindo, ndaliphalaza igazi lazo emhlabeni.”— Isaya 63,1:5-XNUMX;

Ngaba lo nguThixo onomsindo abantu abaninzi abamnikele umva? Abanye baye bangakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo okanye bakholelwa ukuba uThixo akanakwaziwa. Abanye bajolisa unqulo lwabo kuYesu njengoThixo othantamisayo weTestamente Entsha, okanye uMariya njengomama onovelwano, ngokutsho kwesithethe secawa, esaphila yaye eyamkela imithandazo yabathembekileyo.

Kodwa ithini iTestamente Entsha ngesi sicatshulwa?

Ndalibona izulu livulekile; nalo ihashe elimhlophe. Lowo wayehleli phezu kwalo wayebizwa ngokuba nguThembekile, nguNyaniso, yaye ugweba yaye ulwa ngobulungisa. Amehlo akhe enjengelangatye lomlilo, entloko izizithsaba ezininzi; wayenegama elibhaliweyo, ekungaziwa mntu wumbi, ingenguye yedwa nengubo ethiwe nkxu egazini, yaye igama layo lithi: LiLizwi likaThixo. Walandelwa yimikhosi yasezulwini, ikumahashe amhlophe, yambethe isilika emhlophe. Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ikrele elibukhali, ukuba azixabele ngalo iintlanga; uya kuzalusa ngentonga yentsimbi; kwaye uxovula isixovulelo sewayini ezele yiwayini yokuvutha komsindo kaThixo, uSomandla, enegama libhaliwe engutyeni yakhe nasethangeni lakhe: uKumkani wookumkani, uNkosi kankosi. ( ISityhilelo 19,11:16-XNUMX )

Saza isithunywa sabeka emhlabeni isitshetshe saso sokuthena imithi, sazinqumla iidiliya emdiliyeni womhlaba, saziphosa esixovulelweni esikhulu sewayini yomsindo kaThixo. Kwaye isixovulelo eso saxovulwa ngaphandle komzi, kwaza igazi lampompoza esixovulelweni sewayini, laya emikhaleni yamahashe, umgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-300. ( ISityhilelo 14,19:20-XNUMX )

Iziganeko ezibini ezichazwe ngokuphathelele ukusondela kukaMesiya kwisijikelezi-langa sethu. Ngoko ingqumbo kaThixo yeyokwenene yaye ngokwenene uThixo ukhaba isixovulelo sewayini esebenzisa uMesiya wakhe.

Kodwa ngaba mhlawumbi kukho into enzulu nesulungekileyo apha esichengeni kuneengcinga zokuziphindezela? Kubantu abaninzi, umsindo uthetha intiyo, ukulahlekelwa kolawulo, ukugqithisa, inkohlakalo. Umntu onomsindo ungcungcuthekisa ixhoba lakhe aze afumane ulwaneliseko ngokwenjenjalo.

Isiprofeto sikaYakobi ngoYuda sahluke ngokupheleleyo: “Intonga yakwaYuda ayiyi kumka, nomsimelelo womlawuli ezinyaweni zakhe, ade afike umniniyo, zinamathele kuye izizwe. Uya kubophelela iesile lakhe emdiliyeni, Amathole akhe emdiliyeni wohlobo. Uya kuwuhlamba ingubo yakhe ngewayini, nengubo yakhe egazini leediliya.” ( Genesis 1:49,10-11 ) Kuvakala kukuhle gqitha!

Ndifumene iintetho ezivela kuEllen White malunga noYesu enyathela isixovulelo sewayini yedwa. Ndingathanda ukubabona kunye nawe ngoku:

UYesu wasixovula isixovulelo sewayini esengumntwana

»Ukususela ebuntwaneni, ebutsheni nasebudodeni uMesiya wahamba yedwa. Ekuhlambulukeni kwayo, ekuthembekeni kwayo kwangena nguye yedwa isixovulelo sewayini yokubandezeleka; kwaye kungekho bani unaye ebantwini. Kodwa ngoku sisikelelekile ngokuba nenxaxheba kumsebenzi nakuthumo loMthanjiswa. Singa thwala idyokhwe kunye naye kunye nokusebenza kunye noThixo."Imiqondiso Yamaxesha, ka-Agasti 6, 1896, isiqendu 12)

UYesu wathi: “Lowo undibonayo mna ubona uBawo.” ( Yohane 14,9:XNUMX ) Ukuba nomsindo kukaThixo ukunyathela phezu kwewayini kubonakala kunento yokwenza nokubandezeleka kunentiyo. UYesu wabandezeleka ngenxa yezono zabanye abantu – hayi nje ngokuba babemcekisa, bemhleka, bemcinezela, kodwa ngenxa yokuba wayevelana nabo ngokungathi usesikhumbeni sabo waza wenza izono zabo ngokwakhe. Wabuthwala ubutyala babo waza wasebenzela inkululeko yabo.

...xa waqalisa ubulungiseleli bakhe

»Wazila ukutya iintsuku ezimashumi mane nobusuku obumashumi mane ninyamezele ezona ntlaselo ziqatha zamandla obumnyama. Wanyathela 'umxoxo wedwa, kwaye kungekho mntu unaye ( Isaya 63,3:XNUMX ). Hayi ngenxa yakho kodwa ukuze aqhawuke ityathanga, ebophelela abantu njengamakhoboka kaSathana. (Inkceba emangalisayo, 179.3)

UThixo akayi kurhoxa ekuzincameni nasekuzincameni ukuze oyise ububi ngokulungileyo. Ngaba ingqumbo kaThixo yinzondelelo yakhe, uthando lwakhe olushushu, olufuna ukusindisa wonke umntu kuboni nakuboni aze abandezeleke ngendlela engakholelekiyo apho umntu engenakusindiswa?

UYesu wanyathela isixovulelo sewayini eGetsemane

'UMhlawuleli wethu yangena yodwa kwisixovulelo sewayini, yaye kubo bonke abantu akwabakho namnye unaye. Iingelosi, ezenze ukuthanda kwabathanjiswa ezulwini, zingathanda ukumthuthuzela. Kodwa yintoni abanokuyenza? Usizi olunjalo, intlungu enje zingaphaya kwamandla azo okunciphisa. Awuzange wenze njalo waziva izono zehlabathi elilahlekileyo, yaye zakhwankqiswa kukubona inkosi yazo ethandekayo iphoswe phantsi yintlungu.” (I-Echo yeBhayibhile, Agasti 1, 1892, isiqendu 16)

Ngoko ngaba ingqumbo kaThixo yintlungu enzulu, intuthumbo enzulu, imfesane enzulu njengokuba uYesu waba nayo eGetsemane? Kodwa udandatheko olunjalo alumenzi uThixo angakhathali, arhoxe, azisizele, angakwazi ukwenza okuthile. Ukuza kuthi ga kumzuzu wokugqibela, unika aboni impefumlo engunaphakade yobomi, uvumela iintliziyo zabo zibethe, iingqondo zabo zisebenze, ubanika ukubona, ukuthetha, ukomelela kwezihlunu, uzama ukubashukumisela ukuba baguquke, kwanokuba basebenzisa yonke into nxamnye nomnye. kweyona nkohlakalo imbi kwaye ikhokelela kwigazi eliza. Yena ngokwakhe "wopha" kuqala kwaye uninzi.

“Isiprofeto sasibhengeze ukuba ‘uLowo unamandla,’ iNgcwele yeNtaba iParan, isixovulelo sewayini sixovule wedwa; 'kwakungekho namnye ebantwini' ababekunye naye. Wenze usindiso ngengalo yakhe; ebe ulungele umbingelelo. Ingxaki eyoyikekayo yaphela. I Intuthumbo eyayinokunyamezela uThixo kuphela, uMesiya wayemzele [eGetsemane].” (Imiqondiso Yamaxesha, Disemba 9, 1897, isiqendu 3)

Ingqumbo kaThixo ikulungela ukuzincama, ukunyamezela amandla angaphaya kwawomntu kwintuthumbo uYesu awayiva eGetsemane, kodwa eyamephula intliziyo yakhe emnqamlezweni. “Ingqumbo yendoda ayikwenzi oko kuthe tye phambi koThixo.” ( Yakobi 1,19:9,4 ) UThixo uya kutywina kuphela abo bantu ‘bancwinayo baze balime ngenxa yamasikizi onke’— Hezekile XNUMX:XNUMX . uluntu lwakhe, ewe ihlabathi lakhe - kwenzeka. Kuba bazaliswe nguMoya wakhe, bafumana ingqumbo yobuthixo, banye neemvakalelo zikaThixo: yimfesane kuphela, kuphela uthando lomsindisi ongenakuzingca.

... kwaye eKalvari

»Ukhabe yedwa isixovulelo sewayini. Akwabakho mntu umi ngakuye. Ngelixa amajoni esenza umsebenzi wawo owoyikekayo kwaye yena weva ubunzima obukhulu, wathandazela iintshaba zakhe wathi: ‘Bawo, baxolele; kuba abayazi into abayenzayo!’ ( Luka 23,34:XNUMX ) Eso sicelo seentshaba zakhe yajikeleza ihlabathi lonke nivalele wonke umoni kude kube sekupheleni kwexesha a." (ibali lentlawulelo, 211.1)

Akukho namnye usibonise uxolelo lukaThixo ngokucace ngakumbi kunoYesu, iLizwi lakhe lenziwe inyama, iNgcinga yakhe yenziwe yavakala. Entliziyweni yakhe, uThixo uxolele wonke umoni kuba yindalo yakhe leyo. Ukukulungela kwakhe ukuxolela akuyeki. Umda waso ufikelela kuphela apho umoni engafuni kwanto yakwenza nawo okanye afune ukukhululwa engenatyala okungayiguquliyo intliziyo yakhe. Kwaye kukulungele ukuxolela oyena mntu ubandezeleka kakhulu, eqhubela phambili kwinqanaba eliphezulu leenzame zokuhlangula, njengokungathi umntu uza kulawula inqwaba yamanzi ebulalayo kwimigudu enjalo ukuba abo bazimisele ukuhlangula bakhuselekile kwaye abaninzi abahlanguli.unuzimisele kangangoko ukuhlangulwa emva koko. UThixo ukwenza oku ngedini elikhulu.

“Njengokuba uAdam noEva bagxothwayo e-Eden ngenxa yokwaphula umthetho kaThixo, kwangokunjalo uMesiya wayeza kuva ubunzima ngaphandle kwemida yengcwele. Wafela ngaphandle kwenkampu ekwakubulawelwa kuyo izaphuli-mthetho nababulali. Wangena khona eyedwa esixovulelweni sewayini yosizi. wasithwala isohlwayooko bekumele ukuba kuwele kumoni. Hayi indlela anzulu nabaluleke ngayo amazwi athi, ‘UKristu wasithenga, wasikhulula esiqalekisweni somthetho, ngokwenziwa isiqalekiso kuthi.’ Waphumela ngaphandle kweminquba, ebonisa ukuba wayenezithuko ezinjengokutshatyalaliswa kwakhe ngumthetho. ubomi bakhe kungekhona nje kuhlanga lwamaYuda, kodwa kwihlabathi liphela wanika (UMyaleli woLutsha, Juni 28, 1900).« (Inkcazo yeBhayibhile yamaSabatha amaSabatha, 934.21)

IKalvari yayilidini elikhulu likaThixo. Kunyana wakhe, ubawo wehlelwa lishwangusha labangenabuthixo, ngokungathi kunjalo. Akakho umoni onokuthi ngokufanelekileyo athi ukwimeko elusizi ngakumbi phambi koThixo. Ngokuchasene noko: Akukho sidalwa - nkqu noSathana-esikwaziyo ukulinganisa nokuva imiphumo yazo zonke izono zomntu ngamnye kuzo zonke iinkalo kwingqondo yakhe elinganiselweyo. NguThixo onamandla onke, owazi zonke izinto nohlala kuzo zonke onokwenza oku.

'UMhlawuleli wangena eyedwa kwisixovulelo sewayini yokubandezeleka, yaye ebantwini bonke akwabakho namnye unaye. Ukanti wayengekho yedwa. Wathi: 'Mna notata sibanye.' UThixo wabandezeleka kunye nonyana wakhe. Umntu akanakuliqonda idini elenziwa nguThixo ongenasiphelo ngokunikela uNyana wakhe kwihlazo, intuthumbo nokufa. Oku bubungqina uthando olungenasiphelo lukaBawo ebantwini."(Umoya wesiprofeto 3, 100.1)

Uthando olungenasiphelo, ukubandezeleka okungakholelekiyo. Ezi zezona mpawu ziphambili zengqumbo kaThixo. Ukukulungela ukuhlonela ukhetho lwezidalwa zakhe nokuziyeka zibaleke kwintshabalalo yazo, zide zibonise inkohlakalo yazo ngeendlela eziphucula ngakumbi icebo lakhe lokuhlangula. Yonke le nto yingqumbo kaThixo.

Ukusonga, isishwankathelo secandelo lethu lentshayelelo:

Ngubani na ovela entsimini yaseBhotsera, evethe iingubo ezibomvu, evethe iingubo zakhe, ehamba ngamandla akhe amakhulu? Mna ke ndithetha ngobulungisa, ndinamandla okusindisa; “Ndenza idini legazi ekungekho mntu unokulenza. Ndihambe nabantu ngokubandezeleka okunzulu kuthando lwam lomsindisi onothando, ndathumela unyana wam kubo, makhe amava obona bunzima bunzulu ngokwakhe, ukuze ndizibonakalise kubo ngokulinganayo. Mhlawumbi bakhululwe kubuntu babo obudala kwesi sixovulelo sewayini “ngegazi lam” okanye isimo sabo sengqondo sokukhanyela siya kubabulala. Kuyo nayiphi na imeko, igazi labo lelam, konke kutyhilwe ngokucacileyo egazini lonyana wam. Kuye kwatshiza ezingubeni zentliziyo yam, kwaye ndingcolise umphefumlo wam wonke ngale nto yenzekayo. Kuba ndandigqibe ekubeni ekugqibeleni ndiyisombulule ingxaki ngokuzinikela kwam okupheleleyo; unyaka wokukhululwa kwam wawufikile. Ndalaqaza, akwabakho mncedi, ndikhwankqiswe kukuba kungekho mntu undincedayo. Ingalo yam kwafuneka indincede, yaye ukuzimisela kwam okuchukumisayo kwandixhasa. Ngokufuthi ndiye ndavumela abantu ukuba bazive imiphumo yokumgama kwabo kuThixo ukuya esiphelweni esikrakra, ndandicaphukile ndaza ndabavumela ukuba batyibilike ekuphalazweni kwegazi okwakungumphumo osengqiqweni wezigqibo zabo. Ngenxa yokuba ndilangazelela ukuba abanye bavuke baze basindiswe kwaye isahluko esibuhlungu sesono sifikelele esiphelweni.

Masibe yinxalenye yentshukumo apho uThixo afuna ukunika abantu lo mbono wentliziyo yakhe namhlanje, ukuze bathandane nenceba yakhe namandla onke.
