Ubaxo Njengendlela Yokugxininisa

Enye yezona ngxoxo zixhaphakileyo ngokuchasene nengcamango yokuba uYesu wayenyanisekile ngokwenene malunga nokuba nokwenzeka kwesihogo kukuba abonise ukuba oorabhi bamaYuda babedla ngokuzekelisa baze bagxininise ingongoma ethile ngokusebenzisa ngabom ngokugqithiseleyo., imizekelo eqikelelwayo eyayingenzelwanga ukuba ithathwe ngokoqobo. Oku kuyinyaniso ngokuqinisekileyo; noYesu ngokwakhe wasebenzisa obu buchule ukuze enze ezinye zeengongoma zakhe zikhumbuleke ngakumbi; njenge, “Yini na ukuba usibone isibi esisesweni lomzalwana wakho, ungawuqwalaseli umqadi okwelakho iliso?” (Mat 7:3) Ke umba ekufuneka siwusombulule apha kukuba ungakanani umxholo kaYesu’ amagqabantshintshi ngobume besihogo anokuthethelela into engeyiyo yokoqobo, okanye ngaphezulu kokomfuziselo, ukuqonda uYesu’ amagama.

Makhe sihlolisise ngokufutshane omnye umzekelo kaYesu’ ukufundisa kwakhe ukuze kuqaqambise ukubaluleka kwemeko kwiimeko ezinjalo:

UYesu wabheka-bheka, wathi kubafundi bakhe, “Hayi indlela ekunzima ngayo ngabo banobutyebi ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo!!” Bakhwankqiswa ke abafundi ngamazwi akhe. Wabuya waphendula uYesu wathi, “Abantwana, Hayi, ukuba ngenkankulu ukuthi abo bakholose ngobutyebi bangene ebukumkanini bukaThixo!! Kulula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi singene ebukumkanini bukaThixo.” Bakhwankqiswa ngokuncamisileyo kanye, esithi kuye, “Ngoko ngubani na onokusindiswa?” NguYesu, ejonge kubo, watsho, “Kumadoda akunakwenzeka, kodwa kungekhona kuThixo, kuba zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuye uThixo.” (Mar 10:23-27)

Usenokuba uqhelene nengcaciso yesi sicatshulwa sithi i “kwintunja yenaliti” yayiligama elanikwa isango elincinane kakhulu elalibekwe phakathi okanye kufuphi nesango elikhulu lokungena ukuze umntu ngamnye angene xa isango elikhulu livaliwe. Ngenxa yoko, ukufumana inkamela kwelo sango bekuya kuba nzima gqitha; kwaye kwakuza kufuneka ikhululwe kumthwalo wayo ukuze iyenze. Ivakala ngathi kukutolikwa kwentsingiselo yelizwi; kwaye oko ndiyivile esikolweni bendisoloko ndiyicaphula: kodwa zikhona 2 iingxaki. Okokuqala, abukho ubungqina bale ngcaciso ecetyisiweyo ngaphambi kwenkulungwane ye-9 AD. Kodwa, okwesibini, umongo ubonisa ukuba kukho enye into ekujoliswe kuyo. NguYesu’ Inqaku lokuqala libonisa ukuba abantu abazizityebi bangena ebukumkanini bukaThixo kuphela ngobunzima. Le ngxelo ngokwayo iyabothusa abafundi; I-WHO, njengamaYuda amaninzi omhla wabo (kunye nabanye abaninzi), babugqale ubutyebi njengophawu lwenkoliseko kaThixo. Kodwa ke uYesu ukhetha ukuyibethelela ingongoma yakhe ngalo mzekelo ugabadeleyo, ibangela ukuba abafundi bakhwankqiswe ngokupheleleyo, sigqibe kwelokuba imeko yayinjalo ngokupheleleyo, okanye phantse, akunakwenzeka. Kwaye u, kwakhona, UYesu uyayibethelela ingongoma, egxininisa ukuba ‘Ngamadoda it i akunakwenzeka.’ Kuphela kungoko athi afanelekele intsingiselo yakhe ngokuthi, “... kodwa hayi kuThixo, kuba zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuye uThixo.”

Phawula ngokukhethekileyo izinto ezimbini. Okokuqala, Isiqalelo sokubaxo senzelwe ukugxininisa endaweni yokunciphisa ukubaluleka kwengongoma ephambili; kodwa, okwesibini, ayikukhupheli ngaphandle amathuba okuba kuphinde kubekho enye isiqinisekiso okanye ngaphandle kwelo nqanaba; njengoYesu’ intetho yokuvala leyo, “zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuye uThixo.”¹

Zeziphi Iingongoma UYesu Wayezithetha?

Unaloo nto engqondweni, makhe sijonge ezinye zeentetho ezigqithileyo zikaYesu ngokunxulumene nesihogo.

Ziphephe Kuzo Zonke Iindleko

Ukuba iliso lakho lasekunene liya kukhubekisa, yinyothule uyilahle kude kuwe. Kuba kukulungele kanye, ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni. Ukuba isandla sakho sokunene siyakukhubekisa, yinqumle, kwaye uyilahle kude kuwe. Kuba kukulungele kanye, ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni. (Mat 5:29-30)

Qaphela ngakumbi apha isiqinisekiso, ‘Ukuba … ikwenza ukhubeke.’ Imeko ecingelwayo kukuba ukususwa kwesokunene okanye isandla sokunene kuya kubangela ukususwa kwesizathu sokukhubeka. Kodwa sonke siyazi kakuhle ukuba oku akunjalo; njengoko oyena nobangela usentliziyweni nasengqondweni yomntu kwaye usenalo elinye iliso okanye isandla esifumanekayo sokuqhuba eso senzo sesono.! Kodwa ingongoma ephambili kaYesu’ Ilizwi licace gca: kwanokubandezeleka okubangelwa kukulahlekelwa liliso okanye isandla akunakufaniswa nokubandezeleka nokulahlekelwa kokuphoswa eGehena.. Nokuba inokuba njani na; imbi - kakhulu embi! Ngoko kuphephe nantoni na enokukuthumela kwelo cala.

Ngelishwa, le nkcazo ihlala idityaniswa ngokungalunganga nayo Mat 19:9-12; apho uYesu’ abafundi, ekuveni uYesu’ imfundiso echasene noqhawulo-mtshato, yichase loo nto, “Ukuba le yimeko yendoda nomfazi wayo, akunto ilungileyo ukutshata.” Kule nto, UYesu uyaphendula, “Asingabo bonke abantu abanokulifumana eli lizwi, kodwa ngabo banikiweyo. Kuba kukho amathenwa azalwa enjalo kwasesizalweni sikanina, kukho namathenwa enziwe amathenwa ngabantu; kwaye kukho namathenwa azenze amathenwa ngenxa yobukumkani bamazulu. Lowo unako ukukwamkela, makawamkele.“

Qaphela ukuba oku hayi ingxoxo malunga nesihogo (nangona abanye besenokufuna ukuchaza umtshato ombi ngolo hlobo). Endaweni yoko, yingxoxo malunga nobume bobomi bomnqophiso womtshato. Kananjalo ayingomzekelo wentetho ebaxiweyo; nangona kudla ngokuphosakeleyo kuthiwe kunjalo ngokubonisa ukuba uYesu wayecebisa ukuba kusengqiqweni ukuba indoda izithene ukuze iphephe isilingo ngokwesini.. Ijongwe ngokwembono engeyoyamaYuda, oko kunokuvakala kusengqiqweni; njengoko uninzi lwamadoda luyiqonda kakuhle impembelelo yamalungu esini kwiimvakalelo zethu kunye notyekelo kwaye bekuhlala kukho abo bacinga ukuba ubomi bunokuba lula ngaphandle kwabo.!

Noko ke, akunakwenzeka ukuba lo yayinguYesu’ intsingiselo, okanye abafundi bakhe ngebakhe bayicingisisa nzulu loo nto. Oku kuqala kungenxa yokuba, kumaYuda, ukuthenwa nobudlolo kwakujongwa njengokuchasene nomyalelo kaThixo (Lev. 22:24; 21:20; Deut. 23:2). Okwesibini kuba, njengoko kunokubonwa ngokufunda isicatshulwa esipheleleyo, ‘ ithenwa’ akuthethi ukuba ‘umntu othenwe.’ I-etymology yokuqala yegama lesiGrike, ‘ ithenwa’ ayiqinisekanga (‘umgcini webhedi’ elona cebiso lixhaphakileyo); kodwa ukususela kumaxesha amandulo lalisaziwa njengelisetyenziswa ukuchaza abantu abakwizikhundla ezahlukahlukeneyo ezifuna ukuzinikela ngengqondo enye nokungakhethi buso kwizilangazelelo zenkosi yabo.. Ngokufanayo, kukho umzekelo weTestamente eNdala wegama lesiHebhere, 'isaris', ethatyathwe kwingcambu yentsingiselo, ‘ukuthena,’ kubhekiselwa kuPotifare, ‘igosa laseYiputa’ naye owayeyindoda etshatileyo (yabona Gen 39:1 & 7.) Kwinyani, akukho nto ngaphakathi Mat 19:12 ukubonisa ukuba uYesu wayecebisa nantoni na engqongqo ngolo hlobo. Wayevuma nje ukuba bakho abathile, njengaye, basenokukufumanisa kuyimfuneko ukuncama ilungelo labo lokutshata ngenxa yoBukumkani bukaThixo.

Kodwa bobabini uMateyu noMarko baphinda bacaphule uYesu’ umzekelo weliso nesandla kulo mxholo ulandelayo:

othe wakhubekisa noko amnye waba bancinane bakholwayo kum, Ngekumlungele kanye ukuba agalelwe ilitye lokusila entanyeni yakhe elwandle. Ukuba isandla sakho siyakukhubekisa, yinqumle. kukulungele ukuba ungene ebomini usisilima, kunokuba ube nezandla zozibini ukuya eGehena, emlilweni ongacimiyo, ‘apho umpethu wabo ungafiyo, nomlilo awucinywa.’ Ukuba unyawo lwakho luya kukhubekisa, yinqumle. kulunge kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, kunokuba iinyawo zakho zombini uphoswe eGehena, emlilweni ongacimiyo- ‘apho umpethu wabo ungafiyo, nomlilo awucinywa.’ Ukuba iliso lakho liya kukhubekisa, yikhuphe. kukulungele kanye ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo, ‘apho umpethu wabo ungafiyo, nomlilo awucinywa.’ (Mar 9:42-48. Bona kwakho Mat 18:6-9)

Phawula indlela uYesu’ Ingxelo yangaphambili iyaphindwa kwaye igxininiswe, nokomelezwa kokongezelelekileyo kulunge ngakumbi ukurhaxwa kunokukhubeka komntwana nokuchazwa kweGehena njengendawo yomlilo ongunaphakade.. Ngoko kuba nzima ngakumbi ukukhanyela ukuba uYesu ngokunzulu yenza kuthetha ukuba ukulahleka kwelungu okanye iliso, okanye ukupheliswa kobomi bakhe kwangaphambi kwexesha, ifanele igqalwe njengekhethekileyo kunokugwetyelwa iGehena, nokuba simtolika njani na uYesu’ inkcazo yayo.

Isityebi kunye noLazaro

Lo mzekeliso, kufuneka kuqatshelwe, ibhekisela kwiimeko eShiyol ebudeni bexesha eliphakathi kokufa komntu nomgwebo wokugqibela kaThixo. Nangona kunjalo, UYesu uyichaza kakuhle imeko yesityebi:

EHadesi, wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, ukuba sentuthumbo, wambona uAbraham ekude, noLazaro ngasesifubeni sakhe. Wakhala wathi, ‘UBawo uAbraham, ndenzele inceba, athumele uLazaro, ukuze athi nkxu incam yomnwe wakhe emanzini, ndipholise ulwimi lwam! Ngokuba ndiyathuthunjelwa kweli langatye.’ “Wathi uAbraham, 'Unyana, khumbula ukuba wena, ebomini bakho, uzifumene izinto zakho ezilungileyo, noLazaro, ngendlela efanayo, izinto ezimbi. Ngoku ke uyathuthuzelwa, wena ke uyathuthunjelwa. Ngaphandle kwayo yonke le nto, phakathi kwethu nawe kukho umsantsa omkhulu olungisiweyo, ukuze aba bathanda ukuphumela, besuka apha besiya kuni, abanako, kungabikho bani uwelayo, eze kuthi.’ (Lk 16:23-26)

Nangona kunjalo, uviwo lwe intsingiselo yamagama ‘intuthumbo’ kunye ‘nentlungu’ kwesi sicatshulwa sicebisa ukuba zibhekisa ngaphakathi, ukubandezeleka ngokwasengqondweni kunentlungu yomzimba. ‘Idangatye’ ngokoqobo lithetha ‘ukudangala kokukhanya’. Ngokuqhelekileyo libhekisela kwidangatye lomlilo; nangona malunga nesiqingatha seembekiselo ze-NT ziinkcazo ezibonakalayo kunedangatye lokoqobo. Kwaye kwesi siqendu (phezu kwako nje oko kuthethwa ngezinye iinguqulelo) ‘umlilo’ akukhankanywanga - kuphela ubushushu nonxano. Ngoko kusenokubakho izizathu ezivakalayo zokuphikisa ngelithi eli dangatye lisenokuba bubushushu obudangazelayo nokukhanya kobungcwele bukaThixo., ukuveza isono nehlazo lendoda; xa kunjalo, kunokuthiwa eyona nkcazelo yoyikekayo yesi ndinyana ibangelwa kukubaxiweyo kwabahlalutyi bamva kunamazwi okwenene kaYesu..

Kanjalo, kukho abaya kuthi, ‘Kuthekani ngeengcaciso zabo baye baba namava okuphantse ukufa?’ Ewe kunjalo, ukuba onke la mava ayenzeka kanye njengoko abantu bechaza, zona, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo uYesu wayengazibaxi izinto! Kodwa uYesu’ ingxelo yakhe leyo, ‘phakathi kwethu nawe kukho umsantsa omkhulu olungisiweyo, ukuze aba bathanda ukuphumela, besuka apha besiya kuni, abanako, kungabikho bani uwelayo, eze kuthi,’ sisilumkiso esicacileyo sokuba, wakuba umphefumlo womntu uphoswe eHadesi, akusayi kubakho ndlela yokubuya². Ngokufanayo, xa uYesu’ utsho, ‘Ukuba abamameli uMoses nabaprofeti, abayi koyiseka, ukuba kuthe kwavuka bani kwabafileyo,’ ubethelela ukubaluleka kokuphulaphula, kunye nokuthobela ilizwi likaThixo ngoku - phambi kokuba kube kade kakhulu.

Kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba eso ‘sihogo-okanye-izulu’ amava yimibono, inikwe phantsi kweemeko ezizodwa³, ukujamelana nomntu ngezinto zokomoya. Amava ombono adla ngokufuzisela kakhulu, ichaphazela zonke iimvakalelo zomntu, iimvakalelo kunye nesizathu: ukanti amava angawona anokwahluka kakhulu kumntu nomntu. (Thelekisa, njengokuba, Umbono kaHezekile weekherubhi (Ez. 1:4-25; 10:1-22) nale kaYohane (Rev 4:6-11).

Ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo

Ibinzana, ‘Ukutshixiza kwamazinyo,’ ifumaneka izihlandlo ezithandathu kwincwadi yevangeli kaMateyu (Mat 8:12; 13:42; 13:50; 22:13; 24:51; 25:30). Ikwafumaneka kanye kwivangeli kaLuka (Luk 13:28) kwaye kanye kwiZenzo (Acts 7:54): nangona kungekho konke konke kuMarko okanye kuYohane. KwiTestamente eNdala livela izihlandlo ezihlanu (Job 16:9; Ps 35:16; Ps 37:12; Ps 112:10; Lam 2:16). Naphi na apho isetyenziswa khona kwiivangeli, yenza inxalenye yentetho, ‘ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo;’ echaza intsabelo yabo bakhutshelwa ngaphandle kobukho bukaKristu. Ukucebisa ukuba ‘kulila’ Ifanele ukuba yimpendulo kwimeko enjalo ayinakubizwa ngokuba lubaxo: kodwa ‘ukutshixiza kwamazinyo’ ngokuqhelekileyo ichazwa njengembonakaliso yokubandezeleka okukrakra neentlungu; kwaye yiloo ngcamango, njengophawu lokungcungcuthekiswa, oko kusemva kwamabango amaninzi okubaxo apha. Kodwa zonke ii-O.T. iimbekiselo, kunye neZenzo, eneneni abonisa ukutshixiza kwamazinyo njengembonakaliso yobutshaba obukrakra. Nangaphakathi Ps 112:10 (‘Abangendawo baya kukubona oko, nibe buhlungu. Uya kutshixiza ngamazinyo, kwaye zinyibilike. Umnqweno wabangendawo uyadaka.') igama eliguqulelwe ngokuthi ‘ukuba buhlungu’ ithwala intsingiselo yomsindo womsindo, kunokuba uzisole. Ngaloo ndlela kusengqiqweni ukubuza enoba uYesu’ Ingongoma ayikokuba abo bagatywayo bahlala bengaguquki kwaye bachasa iindlela zikaThixo.

Ukushiywa kweli binzana kwivangeli kaYohane akumangalisi ngenxa yokhetho lwakhe olulinganiselweyo lwezifundo aza kuxubusha ngazo: kodwa ukushiywa kwayo kuMarko kunomdla. Uhlolisiso olusondeleyo lubonisa ukuba iingxoxo ezikuMateyu apho eli binzana livela khona azikho nje kuMarko. Ngoko kutheni le nto? Eli binzana lifumaneka kwiindinyana apho uYesu elumkisa ngendlela uBukumkani bukaThixo obuya kusulungekiswa ngayo; kangangokuba abantu abazicingela ukuba banelungelo lokuba yinxalenye yalo endaweni yoko baya kuzifumanisa begxothiwe. Ivangeli kaMateyu yayibhalelwe abaphulaphuli abangamaYuda ababezidla ngokuba ngabantu bakaThixo abanyuliweyo, belindele ukufika koKumkani wabo onguMesiya. Ukwenzela bona, ezi zilumkiso zazibaluleke ngakumbi. Kodwa, ngokwemithombo yecawa yokuqala, ivangeli kaMarko yaveliswa nguYohane Marko, Itoliki kaPetros, ngokwesicelo samaKristu aseRoma.⁴ Aba yayingabaphulaphuli abaninzi beeNtlanga ababengenayo ingcamango enjalo yobulungu obuzenzekelayo bobukumkani bukaThixo.

Iziko loMlilo

Sele simbonile uYesu echaza iGehena njengomlilo Mar 9:42-48 and Mat 18:6-9. Kodwa sikwayibona nakwiziqendwana ezilandelayo:

Njengokuba ngoko ubuthwa umdiza, utshiswe ngomlilo; kuya kuba njalo ekuphelisweni kweli phakade. UNyana woMntu uya kuthuma izithunywa zakhe;, yaye baya kuhlanganisa baphume ebukumkanini bakhe zonke izinto ezikhubekisayo, nabo benza ubutshinga, zibaphose ezikweni lomlilo. khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo. (Mat 13:40-42)

Kuya kuba njalo ekupheleni kwehlabathi. Iingelosi ziya kuphuma, ubahlule abangendawo phakathi kwamalungisa, zibaphose ezikweni lomlilo. khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo. (Mat 13:49-50)

Uya kuthi kwabangasekhohlo kwakhe, ‘Mka kum, nina baqalekisiweyo, emlilweni ongunaphakade, olungiselwe uMtyholi nezithunywa zakhe.’ … Aba baya kumka baye elubethweni olungunaphakade, ke wona amalungisa aya kubomi obungunaphakade. (Mat 25:41,46)

Ngaba ezi zinto zibaxa ngabom okanye yenye into? Ngaphambili siye saphawula ukuba ukuzibaxa izinto ngabom kudla ngokubandakanya ukugabadela, imizekelo eqikelelwayo eyayingenzelwanga ukuba ithathwe ngokoqobo. Kwityala, sinengxaki apha; kuba ezi zicatshulwa ezibini zokuqala azinikwanga njengemizekelo yoqikelelo: kodwa njengoYesu’ eyona ingcaciso kwimizekeliso asandul’ ukuyenza. Imizekeliso ivelisa ingongoma yayo ngokuzoba uthelekiso phakathi kwezinto zokwenyani ezaziwayo nemigaqo engabonwayo. Yinyani kunye nokuvakala komzekelo wendalo ogxininisa ukuba sengqiqweni kwengcaciso. Yomibini le mizekeliso ivelisa ingongoma esisiseko efanayo: ukuba kuya kubakho umgwebo wokugqibela: okulungileyo kuya kugcinwa kwaye ezimbi zilahlwe. Kwaye uYesu’ Ingcaciso yendlela okuya kwenzeka ngayo oku kulahla ‘liziko lomlilo.’ NguYesu’ abafundi mhlawumbi babeshiyeke benemibuzo emininzi yokuba kanye kanye oku kuthetha ukuthini: kodwa babengenakutsho, “Subanexhala. Mhlawumbi uyazibaxa nje!”

Intshabalalo

“Musani ukuboyika abo babulala umzimba, kodwa abanako ukuwubulala umphefumlo. Endaweni yoko, yoyikani lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo kwanomzimba esihogweni somlilo.” (Mat 10:28)

UYesu ebelumkisa abafundi bakhe ukuba banokubulawa ngenxa yokholo abanalo kuye. Uyabaqinisekisa ukuba abantu nje banokubulala imizimba yabo kuphela. ‘Bulala’ kuthetha, ‘ukuphelisa ngokunqunyulwa ebomini;’ nangona ingekuko ukutshabalalisa nantoni na eseleyo. Kodwa wandula ke abonise ukuba uThixo unako ‘ukutshabalalisa’ (‘phelisa ngesenzo sentshabalalo’) kokubini umphefumlo nomzimba eGehena. Ngaba ngokwenene uThixo uya kuyenza le nto? Siza kuxubusha oku kamva: kodwa ngokucacileyo asikokubaxa izinto.
