Inguquko

Umgaqo wokuba wonke umntu ofuna ukuba ngumKristu wokwenene kufuneka avume isono sabo - kwaye amke kuyo - isentloko kwimfundiso kaYesu.

Ukususela ngelo xesha, UYesu waqalisa ukushumayela, kwaye nditsho, “Guquka! Kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele.” (Mat 4:17)

Ilizwi, 'Gcwaya’ KwisiGrike sasekuqaleni, ‘methane;’ kwaye intsingiselo yayo ichazwa njenge, “ukuya cinga ngokwahlukileyo okanye emva koko, yiyo i, phinda ujonge (ngokuziphatha yiva): – Guqukani.” (Yomelele ikhonkco lokuhlaziya). Ke, Eyona nto iphambili kuyo 'ukutshintsha indlela ocinga ngayo:’ Kodwa oku kubandakanya ngaphezulu kwe-telicle yengqondo yengqondo ngendlela eyahlukileyo yokucinga.

UYohane umbhaptizi waqalisa ukulungisa indlela uYesu’ Ukuza nomyalezo, “Guquka, kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele!” (Mat 3:2) Abo bafumana umyalezo wakhe kulindeleke ukuba bavume esidlangalaleni iziphoso zabo kunye nezidingo zabo zokutshintsha ngokubhaptizelwa-isenzo sokucocwa komthi - kuMlambo iJordani. Kodwa oku, Nangona kunjalo ukuthoba kunokuba njalo, khange anele; UJohn wanyanzelisa ukuba bavelise 'iziqhamo esifanele ukuguquka’ (Lk 3:8). Xa ubuzwa, “Yintoni ke esimele siyenze?” uphendule, “Lowo uneengubo ezimbini ezimbini, Makanike lowo ungenayo. Lowo unokutya, Makenze ngokufanayo.” Kubaqokeleli beerhafu, uthe, “Qokelela okungaphezulu kokunyulwa kuwe;” nakwimijoni, “I-Exprt ngaphandle kogonyamelo, musani ukuba nomntu ophosakeleyo. Yaneliswa ngumvuzo wakho,” (Lk 3:10-14).

Ke inguquko ifuna okungaphezulu nje kokutshintsha nje kwenkqubo yexabiso lethu kunye nangaphezulu kuluntu (kwaye ithole) Ukwamkelwa kukuba senze okungalunganga. Kuya kufuneka kukhokelela kutshintsho lwendlela yokuphila kwizenzo zokuzingca nezonakeleyo kwimfesane kunye nobulungisa.

Ukukhulisa ibha

UYesu waqalisa ubulungiseleli bakhe basesidlangalaleni ngokwenza umnxeba kaJohn kwaye ngokufanayo abantu bafuna abantu babhaptizwe (Jn 3:22-4:2; Mat 28:19; Mk 16:16; Acts 2:38). Kodwa uYesu akakhuthaze nje oko kwakuthethwa nguJohn malunga nokuvelisa iziqhamo kufanelekile ukuguquka: Uphakamisa ngokumangalisayo umgangatho! Le nto siyifumana ngokucacileyo 'kwiNtshumayelo yakhe eyaziwayo yaseNtabeni.’

Kule nto usixelela:

“Sukucinga ukuba ndize kutshabalalisa umthetho okanye abaprofeti. Khange ndize kutshabalalisa, kodwa ukuzalisekisa. Inene kakhulu, Ndiyakuxelela, ide izulu nomhlaba idlulile, hayi neleta encinci yencinci okanye ipeni enye encinci iya kudlula nayiphi na indlela kude nomthetho, zide zifeze zonke izinto. Nabani na, ke ngoko, iyaphuka enye yale miyalelo incinci, kwaye ufundise abanye ukuba benze njalo, Uya kubizwa ngokuba nguBukumkani bamazulu; ke osukuba enisukuba ekwenza, abafundise, baya kubizwa ngokuba bukhulu ebukumkanini bamazulu. Kuba ndiyakuxelela ukuba ngaphandle kokuba ubulungisa bakho obungaphezulu kobabhali nabaFarisi, Ayikho indlela ongena ebukumkanini bamazulu.” (Mat 5:17-20)

“Uvile ukuba kwathiwa mandulo, 'Awuyi kubulala;’ Kwaye "nabani na oyabulala, abe semngciphekweni womgwebo.’ Kodwa ndiyakuxelela, ukuba wonke umntu onomsindo kumzalwana wakhe ngaphandle kwesizathu uya kuba semngciphekweni womgwebo; kwaye nabani na othi kumzalwana wakhe, 'Rack!’ iya kuba semngciphekweni weBhunga; kwaye nabani na othi, 'Wena sidenge!’ Uya kuba semngciphekweni womlilo weGehena.” (Mat 5:21-22)

“Uvile ukuba kwathiwa, 'Awuyi kukrexeza;’ Ke mna ndithi kuni, wonke umntu okhangelayo umfazi, ukuba amkhanukele kuye, uye wakrexeza entliziyweni yakhe.” (Mat 5:27-28)

“Kwathiwa, 'Nabani na oya kuyisusa umfazi wakhe, myeke anikele ngoqhawulo mtshato,’ Kodwa ndithi kuni othe wabeka umfazi wakhe, Ngaphandle kwenobangela wokuziphatha okubi ngokwesini, imenza ukuba abe ngumkrexezi; nothe wazeka umntu, wakrexeza, uyakrexeza.” (Mat 5:31-32)

“Uphinde weva ukuba kwathiwa kubo, 'Awuyi kwenza izifungo zobuxoki, Ndiza kuyenza kwiNkosi izithembiso zakho,’ Kodwa ndiyakuxelela, Ungafungi konke ... kodwa ewe’ yiba 'ewe’ kwaye i 'hayi yakho’ yiba 'Hayi.’ Nantoni na engaphezulu kwezi ingendawo.” (Mat 5:33-37)

“Uvile ukuba kwathiwa, 'Iliso ngeliso, nezinyo ngezinyo.’ Kodwa ndiyakuxelela, Musa ukumchasa lowo ungendawo; Kodwa nabani na okubetha kwi-cheek yakho yasekunene, jika omnye. Ukuba nabani na uyamangalela ukuba uthathe idyasi yakho, myeke ingubo yakho nayo. Nabani na okuqinisekisa ukuba uhambe imayile enye, Yiya naye ezimbini.” (Mat 5:38-41)

“Uvile ukuba kwathiwa, 'Uya kumthanda ummelwane wakho, Kwaye intile utshaba lwakho.’ Kodwa ndiyakuxelela, Zithande iintshaba zakho, Basikeleleni abo baniqalekisayo, yenza okuhle kwabo bakuthiyile, Kwaye thandazela abo bakuphatha kakubi kwaye batshutshise ... (Mat 5:43-44)

Kwaye, ngokungathi konke oko kwakungeyonto ekhwaza ithemba elaneleyo, UYesu ushwankathela le nxalenye yentetho yakhe ngokuthi,

“Ke ngoko uya kuba ngogqibeleleyo, Kanye njengokuba uYihlo osezulwini efezekile.” (Mat 5:48)

Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ayinakwenzeka – Okanye ngaba? Makhe sihlolisise oko kwakuthethwa nguYesu nabafundi bakhe ngale nto.

Sonani na

Kukho izihlandlo ezibini xa sifumana uYesuxelela abantu ukuba 'sisono.’

NguYesu, ndime, wambona, wathi, “Umfazi, baphi abatyhola bakho? Akukho mntu ukugwebileyo?”
Uthe, “Akukho namnye, Nkosi.”
Utshilo uYesu, “Andikugwebi. Yiya ngendlela yakho. Ukususela ngoku ukuya phambili, musani ukungosono.” (Jn 8:10-11)

Emva koko uYesu wamfumana etempileni, wathi kuye, “Khangela, wenze kakuhle. Sonani na, Ke ukuba akukho nto imbi yenzeka kuwe.”(Jn 5:14)

Kule mizekelo ingentla, Kungaxoxwa ukuba uYesu uthetha nje kwisono esithile sokukrexeza. Kodwa ngonyaka wesibini akukho kubhekiswa kuzo naziphi na izono ezithile. Ngaba uYesu wayecebisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba uphile ngaphandle kwesono?

Akukho zizathu?

Ngaba le nyani iyinto engathandekiyo njengoko ivakala? Umpostile uPawulos waphawula,

“Akukho sihendo sikuthathileyo ngaphandle kwento eqhelekileyo ebantwini. UThixo Uthembekile, abangayi kukuvumela ukuba uhendwe ngaphezulu kwento oyikwazi, Kodwa kuyakuqala ukwenza kwakhona indlela yokubaleka, ukuze ukwazi ukuyinyamezela.” (1Cor 10:13)

Ukuba kunjalo, Kubonakala ngathi amaKristu akanasizathu sokutya kwixesha elizayo. Ke-yintoni ukuba senze?
