Isikhathi sokufunda: imizuzu eyi-9

Ngezinye izikhathi kwaIsrayeli wasendulo, uNkulunkulu wayethumela abaprofethi nezithunywa esivinini sakhe ukuze bathole isabelo sakhe kubalimi bakhe. Ngeshwa, lezi zithunywa zathola ukuthi yonke into yayisetshenziselwa injongo engalungile. Ngakho-ke, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wabaphefumulela ukuba baxwayise abantu ngokungathembeki kwabo. Kodwa nakuba abantu baqasheliswa ububi babo, baphikelela futhi baba nenkani eyengeziwe. Ukunxusa nokuphikisana akuzange kusize. Bakwenyanya ukukhuzwa.

lokho uNkulunkulu akubekezelelayo

“Kwathi sesifikile isikhathi sesithelo,” kusho uMesiya emfanekisweni wesivini, “wathuma izinceku zakhe kubalimi ukuba zamukele izithelo zakhe. Ngakho abalimi bazibamba izinceku zakhe, enye bayishaya, enye bayibulala, neyesithathu bayikhanda ngamatshe. Wabuye wathuma ezinye izinceku, eziningi kunezokuqala; benza okufanayo kubo.”— Mathewu 21,34:36-XNUMX .

UPawulu ubika ukuthi izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu zaphathwa kanjani. “Abesifazane babuyisela abafileyo babo ngovuko,” echaza, “kodwa nabanye ababethembela kuNkulunkulu bahlushwa kwaze kwaba sekufeni. Babenethemba lovuko olungcono kunokuthola nje inkululeko yabo. Kanti abanye bakhuthazelela ukuhlekwa usulu nokubhaxabulwa, amaketanga nokuboshwa. Bakhandwa ngamatshe, basahwa futhi babulawa ngenkemba. bengenamakhaya, bazulazula, besonge ngezikhumba zezimvu nezembuzi, behlupheka, behlukunyezwa, behlukunyezwa. Izwe lalingafanele ukuthwala abantu abanjalo okwakudingeka bazulazule ezingwadule nasezintabeni, emihumeni nasemihosheni.”— Hebheru 11,35:38-XNUMX .

Kwaphela amakhulu eminyaka uNkulunkulu ebukele ngokubekezela nangokubekezela lokhu kuphathwa ngonya kwezithunywa zakhe. Wabona umthetho waKhe ongcwele wephulwa, udelelwa, futhi unyathelwe phansi. Izakhamuzi zezwe zosuku lukaNowa zakhukhulwa ngozamcolo. Kodwa lapho umhlaba usugcwele abantu, abantu baphinde baziqhelelanisa noNkulunkulu futhi bamhlangabeza ngenzondo enkulu, bemeyisa ngesibindi. Labo abakhululwe uNkulunkulu ebugqilini baseGibithe balandela ezinyathelweni ezifanayo. Ngemva kwembangela, nokho, kwalandela umphumela; umhlaba wawonakele.

Uhulumeni kaNkulunkulu usenkingeni

Uhulumeni kaNkulunkulu waba senkingeni. Ubugebengu emhlabeni babusa. Amazwi alabo ababa yizisulu zomona nenzondo yomuntu akhala ngaphansi kwe-altare efuna impindiselo. Lonke izulu lalilungele, ngezwi likaNkulunkulu, ukuzokhulula abakhethiweyo balo. Izwi elilodwa elivela kuye, futhi imibani yezulu yayiyowela emhlabeni futhi igcwalise ngomlilo namalangabi. UNkulunkulu kwakuzodingeka akhulume kuphela, kwakuzoba khona ukuduma nombani, umhlaba wawuyozamazama futhi konke kwakuzobhujiswa.

Kwenzeka okungalindelekile

Izihlakaniphi zasezulwini zazilungiselela ukubonakaliswa okwesabekayo kobuninimandla bonke bobunkulunkulu. Wonke umnyakazo wawubukwe ngokukhathazeka okukhulu. Kwakulindeleke ukuba kwenziwe ubulungisa, nokuthi uNkulunkulu ajezise abakhileyo emhlabeni. Kodwa “uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke umuntu okholwa yiyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade.” ( Johane 3,16:20,13 ) “Ngizothumela iNdodana yami ethandekayo. Bayoba nenhlonipho ngaye.” ( Luka 1:4,10 NL ) Yeka isihe esimangalisayo! UMesiya akazelanga ukuzolahla izwe kodwa ukuzowusindisa. “Uthando lukulokhu, ukuthi thina asithandanga uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda futhi wathumela iNdodana yakhe ibe yinhlawulo ngezono zethu.” ( XNUMX Johane XNUMX:XNUMX )

Umkhathi wasezulwini wamangala kakhulu ngesineke nothando lukaNkulunkulu. Ukuze isindise isintu esinesono, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu yaba umuntu futhi yakhumula umqhele wayo wobukhosi nezingubo zobukhosi. Waba mpofu ukuze ngobumpofu bakhe sicebe. Ngenxa yokuthi wayemunye noNkulunkulu, uyena kuphela owayekwazi ukufeza insindiso. Ngalowo mgomo, wavuma ngempela ukuba munye nomuntu. Ngokungabi nasono kwakhe, wayezithathela noma yisiphi isiphambeko.

Uthando olunikeza konke

Uthando olwambulwa uMesiya aluqondwa ngumuntu ofayo. Kuyimfihlakalo engaqondakali emqondweni womuntu. OGcotshiweyo ngempela wahlanganisa imvelo yomuntu enesono nemvelo yakhe yokungabi nasono, ngoba ngalesi senzo sokuzithoba wakwazi ukuthulula izibusiso zakhe phezu kohlanga oluwile. Ngale ndlela wenza kwaba nokwenzeka ngathi ukuba sihlanganyele ebuntwini bakhe. Ngokuzenza umhlatshelo wesono, wavula indlela yokuba abantu babe munye naye. Wazibeka esimweni somuntu futhi wakwazi ukuhlupheka. Ukuphila kwakhe konke kwasemhlabeni kwakuwukulungiselela i-altare.

OGcotshiweyo usikhombisa isihluthulelo sakho konke ukuhlupheka nokuhlazeka kwakhe: uthando lukaNkulunkulu. Emfanekisweni siyafunda: “Kodwa ekugcineni wathumela kubo indodana yakhe, ethi enhliziyweni yakhe: ‘Bazoyesaba indodana yami.’” ( Mathewu 21,37:XNUMX ) Ngokuphindaphindiwe, u-Israyeli wasendulo wayehlubuka okholweni. UMesiya weza ukuze abone ukuthi akukho yini okunye ayengakwenzela isivini sakhe. Esimeni sakhe sobunkulunkulu nesomuntu wema phambi kwabantu wabakhombisa isimo sakhe sangempela.

Abathanda ukufa badedelwa kukho ngezinyembezi

Lapho abalimi bembona bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: ‘Lo uyindlalifa; wozani siyibulale, sithathe ifa layo! Base beyibamba, bayikhiphela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala.” ( amavesi 38.39, 23,37.38 ) UMesiya weza kwezakhe, kodwa abakhe abazange bamamukele. Bambuyisela okuhle ngokubi, uthando ngenzondo. Inhliziyo yakhe yayidabuke kakhulu njengoba ebuka u-Israyeli elokhu eshibilika. Njengoba ebuka umuzi ongcwele futhi ecabanga ngesahlulelo esasizowufikela, wakhala: ‘Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi nokhanda ngamatshe abathunywe kuwe! Kukangaki ngifuna ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatshwele aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso; futhi ubungafuni! Bhekani, indlu yenu iyakuba-yincithakalo kini.”—Mathewu XNUMX:XNUMX, XNUMX.

OGcotshiweyo “wadelelwa, walahlwa abantu, umuntu wosizi, owazi usizi” ( Isaya 53,3:18,5 ) Izandla ezimbi zambamba zambethela esiphambanweni. Umhubi wabhala ngokufa kwakhe: “Izibopho zokufa zangihaqa, nezikhukhula zokubhubhisa zangethusa. Izibopho zokufa zangizungeza, izintambo zokufa zangishaya. Lapho ngesaba, ngambiza uJehova, ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami. Wayesezwa izwi lami ethempelini lakhe, nokukhala kwami ​​kweza phambi kwakhe ezindlebeni zakhe. Umhlaba wazamazama, wazamazama, izisekelo zezintaba zanyakaza, zazamazama, ngokuba wayethukuthele. kwaphuma umusi emakhaleni akhe, nomlilo oqothulayo emlonyeni wakhe; Kuqhamuke amalangabi kuye. Wakhothamisa izulu, wehla, nobumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Wakhwela phezu kwekherubi, wandiza, wandiza phezu kwephiko lomoya.”— IHubo 11:XNUMX-XNUMX .

Ngemva kokulandisa umfanekiso wesivini, uJesu wabuza ababemlalele: “Lapho umninisivini efika, uyokwenzenjani kubasebenzi bezivini ababi?” Phakathi kwalabo abalalela uMesiya kwakunamadoda kanye lawo ayehlelwa ukufa kwakhe. Kodwa babengene shí kule ndaba kangangokuthi baphendula: “Uyoqeda ububi kwababi, futhi isivini sakhe uyosiqashisa kwabanye abalimi, abayomnika isithelo ngesikhathi esifanele.” ( Mathewu 21,41:XNUMX ) Ngakho-ke, le ndaba yayibathinta kabi abanye. Babengaqapheli ukuthi babesanda kuzenzela esabo isinqumo.
