Ukuchitheka kwegazi kwa-Edomi. Ibhalwe nguKai Mester

Isikhathi sokufunda: imizuzu eyi-10

Noma ubani ofunda isiqephu esilandelayo sombhalo kumprofethi u-Isaya uzozizwa sengathi usefikile eTestamenteni Elidala. Kodwa kungenzeka yini ukuthi wonke umuntu aqale amfunde nge-lens yokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe nabantu abathukuthele? Nge-lens yokwesaba kwakhe siqu?

Ngubani ovela kwa-Edomi egqoke izingubo ezibomvu evela eBhozira, ehlobe kangaka ngezingubo zakhe, ehamba ngamandla akhe amakhulu? Yimi engikhuluma ngokulunga, nginamandla okusiza.” Kungani ingubo yakho ibomvu kangaka, nezingubo zakho zinjengezesikhamo sewayini? »Ngangena ngedwa esikhamweni sewayini, kwakungekho muntu phakathi kwezizwe owayenami. Ngabachoboza ngolaka lwami, ngabanyathela ngokufutheka kwami. Igazi lakhe lachaphazela ezingutsheni zami, ngangcolisa ingubo yami yonke. Ngoba ngangihlele usuku lokuziphindiselela; unyaka wokuhlenga owami wawusufikile. Ngaqalaza, kepha kwakungekho umsizi, ngesaba ukuthi kwakungekho muntu ongisizayo. Ingalo yami yayisingisiza, nokuthukuthela kwami ​​kwangisiza. Ngizinyathele izizwe ngentukuthelo yami, ngazidakisa ngolaka lwami, ngalithulula igazi lazo emhlabeni.”— Isaya 63,1:5-XNUMX .

Ingabe lo nguNkulunkulu othukuthele abantu abaningi abamfulathele? Abanye baye bangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu noma abakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu akaziwa. Abanye bagxilisa ukukhulekela kwabo kuJesu njengoNkulunkulu omnene weTestamente Elisha, noma uMariya njengomama onozwela, ngokwesiko lesonto, usaphila futhi uyamukela imithandazo yabathembekile.

Kodwa lithini iTestamente Elisha ngale ndima?

Ngabona izulu livulekile; bheka, nanto ihhashi elimhlophe. Ohlezi phezu kwalo ubizwa ngokuthi oThembekileyo noQiniso, futhi uyahlulela futhi alwe ngobulungisa. Amehlo akhe anjengelangabi lomlilo, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona imiqhele eminingi; wayenegama elilotshiweyo elingaziwa muntu ngaphandle kwakhe, wembethe ngengubo ecwiliswe egazini, futhi igama layo lithi: IZwi likaNkulunkulu. Amabutho asezulwini amlandela egibele amahhashi amhlophe, embethe usilika omhlophe. Emlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali ukuba ashaye ngayo izizwe; futhi uyozibusa ngentonga yensimbi; futhi unyathela isikhamo sewayini esigcwele iwayini lolaka oluvuthayo lukaNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, futhi kunegama lilotshiwe engutsheni yakhe nasethangeni lakhe: INkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi. (Funda isAmbulo 19,11:16-XNUMX.)

Ingelosi yabeka umese wayo wokuthena imithi emhlabathini, yanquma izithelo zomvini emvinini womhlaba, yaziphonsa esikhamweni sewayini esikhulu solaka lukaNkulunkulu. Futhi isikhamo sewayini sanyathelwa ngaphandle komuzi, kwagobhoza igazi esikhamweni sewayini laze lafika ematomini amahhashi, amastadiyu ayinkulungwane namakhulu ayisithupha (amakhilomitha angaba ngu-300). ( IsAmbulo 14,19:20-XNUMX )

Izigcawu ezimbili ezichazwe ngokusondela kukaMesiya emhlabeni wethu. Ngakho ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lungokoqobo futhi uNkulunkulu empeleni ukhahlela isikhamo sewayini ngoMesiya wakhe ngokwakhe.

Kodwa ingabe kukhona mhlawumbe okuthile okujulile nokuhlanzekile okusengozini lapha kunemicabango yokuziphindiselela? Kubantu abaningi, intukuthelo isho inzondo, ukulahlekelwa ukulawula, ukweqisa, unya. Othukuthele uhlupha isisulu sakhe futhi uthola ukwaneliseka ngokwenza kanjalo.

Isiprofetho sikaJakobe ngoJuda sisenza sihlale phansi futhi sinake: “Intonga yakwaJuda ayiyikusuka, noswazi lombusi ezinyaweni zakhe, kuze kufike ongowakhe, izizwe zinamathele kuye. Uyakubophela imbongolo yakhe emvinini, namathole ethole emvinini omuhle. Uyakugeza ingubo yakhe ewayinini, nejazi lakhe egazini lamagilebhisi.” ( Genesise 1:49,10-11 ) Kuzwakala kukuhle kakhulu!

Ngithole izinkulumo ezivela ku-Ellen White mayelana noJesu enyathela isikhamo sewayini yedwa. Ngingathanda ukubabona nawe manje:

UJesu wanyathela isikhamo sewayini lapho esemncane

»Ebuntwaneni, ebusheni nasebudodeni uMesiya wahamba yedwa. Ekuhlanzekeni kwayo, ekuthembekeni kwayo kwangena yena yedwa isikhamo sewayini yokuhlupheka; futhi phakathi kwabantu kwakungekho laye. Kodwa manje sibusisiwe ngokuba nengxenye emsebenzini nasekuthunyweni koGcotshiweyo. Singakwazi thwala ijoka kanye naye futhi sisebenze kanye noNkulunkulu." (Izimpawu Zezikhathi, August 6, 1896, isigaba 12)

UJesu wasitshela: “Obona mina ubona uBaba.” ( Johane 14,9:XNUMX ) Ukucasuka kukaNkulunkulu ukunyathela iwayini kubonakala kuhlobene kakhulu nokuhlupheka kunenzondo. UJesu wahlupheka ngenxa yezono zabanye abantu - futhi hhayi nje ngoba bemala, bemhleka futhi bemcindezela, kodwa ngoba wayebazwela sengathi usesikhumbeni sabo futhi wazenza izono zabo. Wathatha icala labo phezu kwakhe futhi wasebenzela ukukhululwa kwabo.

...lapho eqala inkonzo yakhe

»Wazila ukudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane futhi wabekezelela ukuhlasela okunzima kakhulu kwamandla obumnyama. Wanyathela 'ukucindezela yedwa, futhi kwakungekho muntu kanye naye ( Isaya 63,3:XNUMX ). Hhayi okwakho kodwa ukuze akwazi ukugqabula iketango, ebopha abantu njengezigqila zikaSathane. (Isihawu esimangazayo, 179.3)

UNkulunkulu ngeke ahlehle ekuzideleni nasekuzideleleni ukuze anqobe ububi ngokuhle. Ngakho ingabe ulaka lukaNkulunkulu intshiseko yakhe evuthayo, uthando lwakhe olushisayo, ofuna ukusindisa wonke umuntu ezoni nezoni futhi ahlupheke ngendlela engakholeki lapho umuntu engenakusindiswa khona?

UJesu wanyathela isikhamo sewayini eGetsemane

'Mhlengi wethu wangena yedwa esikhamweni sewayini, futhi kubo bonke abantu kwakungekho naye. Izingelosi, ezenze intando yabagcotshiweyo ezulwini, zingathanda ukumduduza. Kodwa yini abangayenza? Ukudabuka okunjalo, ubuhlungu obunjalo zingaphezu kwamandla abo okudambisa. Awukaze wezwa izono zezwe elilahlekile, futhi ngokumangala zibona inkosi yazo ethandekayo idilizwe usizi.” (I-Echo yeBhayibheli, August 1, 1892, isigaba 16)

Ngakho ingabe ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luwusizi olujulile, ukuhlushwa okujulile, ububele obujulile njengoba uJesu abhekana nabo eGetsemane? Kodwa ukucindezeleka okunjalo akumenzi uNkulunkulu ongenandaba, azihoxise, azidabukele, angakwazi ukwenza okuthile. Kuze kube ngumzuzu wokugcina, unikeza izoni umoya wokuphila unomphela, uvumela izinhliziyo zazo zishaye, ubuchopho bazo busebenze, ubanike ukubona, ukukhuluma, amandla emisipha, uzama ukuzishukumisa ukuba ziphenduke, ngisho noma zisebenzisa zonke izinto ngokumelene nomunye. ngesihluku esibi kakhulu futhi kuholela ekuchithekeni kwegazi kuza. Yena ngokwakhe "wopha" kuqala futhi kakhulu.

“Isiprofetho sasimemezele ukuthi ‘Onamandla,’ oNgcwele weNtaba iPharanu, isikhamo sewayini uwedwa; 'kwakungekho noyedwa kubantu' ababenaye. Ngengalo yakhe waletha insindiso; ube kade ilungele umhlatshelo. Inhlekelele eyesabekayo yayisiphelile. I Ubuhlungu obungabekezelelwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela, uMesiya wayezele [eGetsemane].” (Izimpawu Zezikhathi, December 9, 1897, isigaba 3)

Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luwukuzimisela ukuzidela, ukukhuthazela okungaphezu komuntu kokuhlushwa uJesu akuzwa eGetsemane, kodwa okwamephula inhliziyo yakhe esiphambanweni. “Ulaka lomuntu alwenzi okulungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu.” ( Jakobe 1,19:9,4 ) UNkulunkulu uyobeka uphawu kuphela kulabo “ababubulayo futhi balilele zonke izinengiso” ( Hezekeli XNUMX:XNUMX ), labo abaseJerusalema— umphakathi wakhe, yebo umhlaba wakhe - ukwenzeka. Ngokuba bagcwaliswe ngoMoya Wakhe, babhekana nolaka olungcwele, bamunye nemizwa kaNkulunkulu: uzwelo kuphela, uthando lomsindisi ongenabugovu kuphela.

... naseKalvari

»Wakhahlela yedwa isikhamo sewayini. Akekho noyedwa kubantu owama ngakuye. Ngenkathi amasosha enza umsebenzi wawo omubi futhi yena wezwa ubuhlungu obukhulu kakhulu, wathandazela izitha zakhe: ‘Baba, bathethelele; ngoba abakwazi abakwenzayo!’ ( Luka 23,34:XNUMX ) Leso sicelo sezitha zakhe azungeze umhlaba wonke futhi uvale sonke isoni kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi a." (indaba yokuhlengwa, 211.1)

Akekho osibonise intethelelo kaNkulunkulu ngokucace ngaphezu kukaJesu, Izwi Lakhe lenziwe inyama, Umcabango Wakhe wezwakala. Enhliziyweni yakhe, uNkulunkulu uthethelela zonke izoni ngoba lokho kuyimvelo yakhe. Ukuzimisela kwakhe ukuthethelela akuyeki. Umkhawulo wawo ufinyelelwa kuphela lapho isoni singafuni lutho ngakho noma sifune ukulahlwa okungayishintshi inhliziyo yaso. Futhi ukuzimisela okunjalo ukuthethelela okunzima kakhulu, okuholela ezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu lemizamo yokuhlenga, njengokungathi othile uzoqondisa inqwaba yamanzi ebulalayo eziteshini ezinjalo ukuthi labo abazimisele ukuhlenga bayavikeleka futhi baningi abatakuli.unezimisele ngangokunokwenzeka ukuhlengwa phela. UNkulunkulu ukwenza lokhu ngokuzinikela okukhulu.

“Njengoba u-Adamu no-Eva baxoshwa e-Edene ngenxa yokwephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu, kanjalo noMesiya wayezohlupheka ngaphandle kwemingcele yendlu engcwele. Wafela ngaphandle kwekamu lapho izigebengu nababulali babebulawelwa khona. Wangena eyedwa esikhamweni sewayini sokuhlupheka. wathwala inhlawulolokho bekufanele kwehlele isoni. Yeka ukuthi ajule futhi aphawuleka kanjani amazwi athi, ‘UKristu wasihlenga esiqalekisweni somthetho, waba yisiqalekiso kithi.’ Waphumela ngaphandle kwekamu, ebonisa ukuthi wayeyisiqalekiso kithi. impilo yakhe hhayi kuphela isizwe samaJuda, kodwa emhlabeni wonke wanikela (Umfundisi Wentsha, Juni 28, 1900).« (I-Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, 934.21)

IKalvari kwakungumnikelo omkhulu kaNkulunkulu. Endodaneni yakhe, ubaba wabhekana nesiphetho sabantu abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu. Asikho isoni esingasho ngokufanelekile ukuthi sisesimweni esidabukisa kakhulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngokuphambene nalokho: Asikho isidalwa - ngisho noSathane imbala - esikwazi ukulinganisa futhi sizwe imiphumela yazo zonke izono zomuntu ngamunye kuzo zonke izici engqondweni yakhe elinganiselwe. UNkulunkulu uSomandla kuphela, owazi konke futhi osezindaweni zonke ongenza lokhu.

'UMhlengi wangena eyedwa esikhamweni sewayini sokuhlupheka, futhi phakathi kwabo bonke abantu kwakungekho naye. Nokho wayengeyedwa. Wathi: 'Mina nobaba simunye.' UNkulunkulu wahlupheka nendodana yakhe. Umuntu akanakuwuqonda umhlatshelo uNkulunkulu ongapheli awenza ngokukhulula iNdodana yakhe ehlazweni, ekuhlushweni nasekufeni. Lokhu kuwubufakazi uthando olungenamkhawulo lukaBaba ngabantu."(Umoya Wesiprofetho 3, 100.1)

Uthando olungenamkhawulo, ukuhlupheka okungakholakali. Lezi izici eziyinhloko zolaka lukaNkulunkulu. Ukuzimisela ukuhlonipha izinqumo zezidalwa zakhe futhi azivumele zigijimele ekubhujisweni kwazo, zize zidlulisele unya lwazo ngezindlela ezithuthukisa uhlelo lwakhe lokuhlenga. Konke lokhu ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.

Ukuze sisonge, isifinyezo sesigaba sethu sesethulo:

Ngubani ovela enkundleni yempi, egqoke izingubo ezibomvu evela eBhozira, ehlobe kangaka ngezingubo zakhe, ehamba ngamandla akhe amakhulu? “Yimi engikhuluma ngokulunga, futhi nginamandla okusindisa. “Ngenza umhlatshelo ogcwele igazi okungekho muntu ongawenza. Ngahamba nabantu ekuhluphekeni okujulile othandweni lwami lomsindisi onothando, ngathumela indodana yami kubo, mayezizwele ukuhlupheka okujulile mathupha, ukuze ngizembule kubo ngokulingana. Kuphakathi kokuthi bakhululwe ebuntwini babo obudala kulesi sikhamo sewayini “ngegazi lami” noma isimo sabo sengqondo sokuphika siyobabulala. Kunoma yikuphi, igazi labo ngelami futhi, konke okuvezwe ngokucacile egazini lendodana yami. Selichaphazele ezingubeni zenhliziyo yami, futhi ngingcolise umphefumulo wami wonke ngalokhu okwenzekayo. Ngoba ngase nginqume ukuthi ekugcineni ngixazulule inkinga ngokuzinikela kwami ​​okuphelele; unyaka wokukhulula owami wawusufikile. Ngaqalaza, kepha kwakungekho umsizi, ngesaba ukuthi kwakungekho muntu ongisizayo. Ingalo yami kwadingeka ingisize, futhi ukuzimisela kwami ​​kothando kwangisekela. Sekukaningi ngivumela abantu bezwe imiphumela yokuqhelelana kwabo noNkulunkulu ukuya esiphethweni esibuhlungu, ngangicasuka kakhulu futhi ngabavumela ukuba bashelele ekuchithekeni kwegazi okwakuwumphumela onengqondo wezinqumo zabo. Ngoba ngilangazelela ukuba abanye bavuke futhi basindiswe futhi isahluko esibuhlungu sesono ekugcineni sifinyelele esiphethweni.” ( Paraphrase of Isaya 63,1:5-XNUMX )

Masibe yingxenye yomnyakazo uNkulunkulu afuna ngawo ukunikeza abantu lokhu kubuka enhliziyweni yakhe namuhla, ukuze bathandane nesimo sakhe sobubele namandla onke.
