Ama-Concens amanga

UJesu wahlabelela ukugxeka okuthile amaphethini wokuziphatha amabili lowo, Ngenkathi kuvela okuhle nangokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu, ziyinkomba eyingozi ngempela.

Ukuqhosha kokuziqhenya ngokulunga

Encwadini yakhe yokuqala uJohane egcizelela ukuthi noma ngubani othi 'ngaphandle kwesono' uyazikhohlisa (1Jn 1:8). UJesu wayenombono ofanayo wabantu abanjalo. Cabanga ngalokhu ...

Ukhulume futhi lo mfanekiso kubantu abathile ababeqiniseka ngokulunga kwabo, futhi ngubani odelela bonke abanye.”Amadoda amabili akhuphukela ethempelini ukuyothandaza; Omunye wayengumFarisi, kanti enye kwaba umqoqi wentela. UmFarisi wema futhi wakhuleka kuye njengalokhu: 'Nkulunkulu, Ngiyabonga, ukuthi angifani nalawo amanye amadoda, ukuphanga, -ngangikhoyo, iziphinya, noma ngisho nalo mqoqi wentela. Ngizila ukudla kabili ngesonto. Nginikeza okweshumi kukho konke engikutholayo.’ Kepha umthelisi wentela, Ukuma kude, ngeke ngisho ukuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, Kepha washaya isifuba sakhe, ethi, 'Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele, Isoni!’ ngiyakutshela, Le ndoda yehlela endlini yayo ilungile kunomunye; Kuwo wonke umuntu oziphakamisayo uzothotshiswa, Kepha othobisa uyophakanyiswa.” (Luk 18:9-14)

Umzekeliso unzima ngokubhuqa. “UmFarisi wema futhi wathandazela (noma ngo) ngokwakhe.” Wayethatha indawo kaNkulunkulu ngokuzibeka njengezinga lakhe lokulunga. Futhi uNkulunkulu wayengalaleli ngisho; Ngenxa yokuzikhukhumeza kwesicelo sakhe. Lokhu kufanele kube yisexwayiso esiqinile kunoma ngubani othi afinyelele esimweni sokuphelela kwesono okungenasoni, Ukucabanga ukuthi impilo yabo ivumelana nezindinganiso zikaNkulunkulu noma icabanga nje ukuthi ifanelwe ukuthandwa uNkulunkulu kunabanye.

Kepha phawula ukuthi uJesu ngokwakhe wayehlukile. Kwesinye isenzakalo esithile waphenduka izitha zakhe ezibucayi kakhulu futhi wafuna, “Ngabe ukhona kini ongangifakazela ukuthi nginecala lesono?” Ngokusobala, abakwazanga; Njengoba esikhundleni salokho baphendukela esimangalo esingavunyelwe lokho, “UngumSamariya, futhi ube nedemoni.”(Jn 8:46-48)

Isidingo Sokushintsha

Abanye abakholelwa eKhristu baholelwe ukuthi bathi konke okufanele ukwenze ukwamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi wawo, futhi bakhululekile kunoma iyiphi ingozi yokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade ngemuva. Ngomqondo wokuthi akukho okusele esingakwenza ukuze sikwenze ukuze sisindiswe, lokho kuyiqiniso impela. Kepha ukuphakamisa ukuthi uJesu akalindele ukuthi kunye ushintsho ezimpilweni zethu ukukhohlisa okubulalayo. Ake ngibonise…

Ngemuva kokunqatshwa kwakhe eNazaretha, UJesu waya eKapernawume (Lk 4:16 & Lk 4:29-31), eyaba ikhaya lakhe elisha (Mt 4:13). Simoni, U-Andrew, UJakobe, UJohn noFiliphu bonke bavela endaweni ezungeze iKapernawume neBetsayida (Jn 1:44; Mk 1:16-29). UJesu wenza izimangaliso eziningi kuleyo ndawo (Mt 8:5; Mk 1:30-34; Mk 2:1-12). Ngemuva kokudla kwe 5,000 UJesu wayethandwa kakhulu kangangokuba abantu babefuna ukumenza inkosi, ngamandla uma kunesidingo: Kepha uJesu wabashiya (Jn 6:14-15). Bamlandela futhi esinagogeni eKapernawume (Jn 6:24; Jn 6:59), Zizimisela ukuthi zilangazelela ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu (Jn 6:28). Kepha uJesu waqala ukuchaza ukuthi izinto eziza kuqala kubo bonke bezingalungile; ukuthi wayevela ezulwini; ukuthi ukulandela kwakhe kwakudinga ukuguqulwa okuphelele kwe-Outlook kanye nokudla 'okuqhubekayo'’ phezu kwakhe impilo namandla angenza kuphela akwazi ukukunikeza; nokuthi kuzofanela afe ukwenza konke lokhu kungenzeka (Jn 6:27-58). Lokhu akuzange kube nomuzwa ngokombono wabo wokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo; futhi babengazimisele ukuguquka. Umphumela wawo waba nomphumela waba ukuthi iningi lalaba abathi bangabafundi bamshiya (Jn 6:61-66).

Lababantu babekujabulele ukuba noJesu benabo ngenkathi ebabusisa, ukuzipholisa, Ukubeka abantu mahhala, nokuhlinzeka ngezidingo zabo: Kepha babengazimisele ukushintsha umbono wabo noma izinto eziza kuqala kubo. Kafushane, Iningi labo lalingakaze liphenduke ngempela. UJesu wayazi: futhi ukwehluleka kwabo ukwenza kanjalo kwaba nemiphumela yaphakade.

Wabe eseqala ukusola amadolobha lapho iningi lemisebenzi yakhe enamandla lalenziwe ngalo, Ngoba abaphenduki. “Maye kuwe, Chorazin! Maye kuwe, BENTSAIDA! Ngoba uma imisebenzi yamandla yenziwe eTire naseSidoni ezakwenziwa kuwe, Babezophenduka kudala ngendwangu yesaka nomlotha. Kepha ngiyakutshela, Kuzobekezelelwa ngokwengeziwe iTire neSidoni ngosuku lokwahlulela kunakuwe. Nina, Indlu kabuso, ophakanyiselwe ezulwini, uzokwehlela eHayidese. Ngoba uma imisebenzi yamandla yenziwe eSodoma okwenziwa kuwe, bekungaqhubeka kuze kube yilolu suku. Kepha ngithi kini kuzobekezelelwa ngokwengeziwe ezweni laseSodoma, Ngosuku lokwahlulela, kunawe.” (Mat 11:20-24)

Kepha ngicela wazi ukuthi udaba olubi lapha lwalungekho ukuntuleka kwabo kokuqonda kukaJesu’ izwi elithunyelweyo, noma ukuziphatha kwabo okubi. Kuleso sigaba, Abafundi abahlala noJesu futhi babenabancane (Uma kukhona) mbono’ Khuluma 'nokondla’ phezu kwakhe, noma ukunikela ngokuphila kwakhe emhlabeni, empeleni kusho ukuthi (Mt 16:21-23; Lk 18:31-34). Futhi nokuziphatha kwabo kusashiyelwa okuningi ukuze kufiswe (Mk 9:33-34; Mk 10:13-14; Mk 14:50, Mk 14:66-72). Kepha naphezu kokushiyeka kwabo, Babekholwe ukuthi uJesu 'wayenguKristu, INdodana KaNkulunkulu Ophilayo’ nokuthi 'wayenawo' amazwi okuphila okuphakade.’ Ngenxa yalokhu, bazibophezele ukumlandela. (Jn 6:68-69).

Ukuphenduka kwangempela kumayelana nokuzibophezela ukulandela uJesu; futhi ushintshe indlela esicabanga futhi enze ngayo, Ukuze sikwazi ukuqhubeka kancane kancane kuye kuzo zombili izindlela zethu zokubuka nokuziphatha. Noma yini engaphansi iyimbumbulu eyingozi.

UJesu uthethelela isono

Enye yezinto zikaJesu’ Inkonzo eyakhanyiswa kakhulu ukusungulwa kwenkolo ukulungela kwakhe ukuthethelela izono zabantu. Bakubone lokhu njengesimangalo sobunkulunkulu ('Ngubani ongathethelela izono kodwa uNkulunkulu yedwa?’ – Mk 2:7). Kepha naphezu kwengozi kuye, UJesu washesha ukumemezela intethelelo yakhe.

Kwafika abantu abane, ephethe okhubazekile kuye. Lapho bengakwazi ukusondela kuye ngenxa yesixuku, basuse ophahleni lapho ayekhona. Lapho sebephule, bayeka mat ukuthi lo okhubazekile wayelele kuwo. uJesu, Ukubona Ukukholwa Kwakho, wathi kulowo okhubazekile, “Umfana, Izono zakho zithethelelwe.” (Mar 2:3-5)

Kepha kwakukhona abanye bababhali abahleli lapho, nokubonisana ezinhliziyweni zabo, “Kungani le ndoda ikhuluma inhlamba enjengaleyo? Ngubani ongathethelela izono kodwa uNkulunkulu yedwa?” (Mar 2:6-7)

Ngokushesha uJesu, ukuqonda emoyeni wakhe ukuthi babonisana nabo ngaphakathi kubo, wathi kubo, “Kungani ucabanga lezi zinto ezinhliziyweni zakho? Okulula, Ukutshela okhubazekile, 'Izono Zakho Zithethelelwe;’ noma ukusho, 'Vuka, bese uthatha umbhede wakho, uhambe?’ Kepha ukuze wazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu inegunya emhlabeni ukuzothethelela izono” -Uthe kofe uhlangothi- “ngiyakutshela, sukuma, Thatha i-mat yakho, bese uya endlini yakho.” (Mar 2:8-11)

UJesu wamxolela ngisho izono ezazijeziswa ngokufa ngaphansi komthetho wamaJuda. Qonda Lk 7:37-50 & Jn 8:3-11.

Wayengubani uJesu’ Isimo sokuphinda amacala?

Sesibonile ukuthi kunezikhathi lapho uJesu atshela abantu ukuthi 'asona’ (Jn 5:14 & Jn 8:11). Kodwa ingabe lokhu kusho ukuthi akazange alungiselelwe ukubanikeza elinye ithuba? Cabanga ngalokhu:

UPhetro wabe esethi kuye, “Nkosi, Umfowethu uyozona kangaki kimi, futhi ngiyamthethelela? Kuze kube kasikhombisa?” UJesu wathi kuye, “Angikutsheli kuze kube kasikhombisa, kepha, kuze kube masine amahlandla ayisikhombisa.” (Mt 18:21-22)

UJesu walandela lokhu ngomfanekiso weNceku engathetheleli(Mt 18:23-35), Ukuphela ngamagama, “Ngakho-ke uBaba wami osezulwini uzokwenza kuwe, Uma ungathembi ngakunye okuvela ezinhliziyweni zakho ngenxa yemibi yakhe.” (Mt 18:35). Umzekeliso uqhathanisa uNkulunkulu nenkosi, Ngubani ophucwe isamba esikhulu kangangokuba kufanele ngabe siqongelele isikhathi eside kakhulu, Ngenceku eyayikweleta inani elincane kakhulu. UJesu usho ngokufanelekile, 'Ubaba wami ubelokhu ekhathala kakhulu kunawe owake waba nomfowenu. Lokho kuyindinganiso yakhe yokuthethelela kuwe; Ngakho-ke kufanele wenze okufanayo.’

Kepha kukhona i-caveat lapha. UJesu wabuye wathi:

Qaphela. Uma umfowenu ona kuwe, Mkhuze. Uma ephenduka, Mlalele. Uma ona kuwe kasikhombisa ngosuku, futhi amahlandla ayisikhombisa abuya, ethi, 'Ngiyaphenduka,’ uzomthethelela.” (Luk 17:3-4)

Kungenzeka ukuthi lokhu bekuyisho ukuthi uPhetro wayecaphuna uJesu. uJesu’ Impendulo ukusho ukuthi akukho mkhawulo wenombolo osebenzayo: Kepha leli zwi futhi lenza iphuzu mayelana nendawo yokuphenduka kulokhu. Uma umuntu ephindaphinda icala elifanayo nalokhu kukhipha ubuqiniso ubuqiniso bokuphenduka kwabo. Kodwa uJesu’ Ukuyalela kithi ukuthi kufanele samukele amagama abo ngokubaluleka futhi sithethelele. Asikufanelekeli ukwahlulela izinhliziyo zabo: Kepha uNkulunkulu angahlulela izinhliziyo nezethu.

“Ungahluleli, ukuze ungahlulelwa. Ngoba nganoma yisiphi isahlulelo owahlulela, Uzokwahlulelwa; Futhi nganoma yisiphi isilinganiso osilinganisa, izokalwa kuwe. Kungani ubona ucezwana olusesweni lomfowenu, Kepha ungabheki ugongolo olusesweni lakho? “(Mat 7:1-3)

Kuthiwani ngesimo sakhe sengqondo kubafundi bakhe’ Izono?

Uma sibheka abafundi ngesikhathi uJesu ayenabo, babekude kakhulu. Baphikisana phakathi kwabo ngokuthi ngubani omkhulu kunabo bonke (Mk 9:33-37). UJakobe noJohane bazama ukukhohlisa uJesu ukuba abanikeze izikhundla ezimbili eziphezulu (Mk 10:35-45). Lowo womabili wayefuna ukushaya umlilo uvela ezulwini ngoba azange amukelwe edolobhaneni laseSamariya (Lk 9:51-56). Batshele ama-mums ukuthi ayeke ukuvuselela uJesu nezingane zabo; okucasule uJesu ngempela (Mk 10:13-16). Ngemuva kwenkonzo yosuku, UJesu wayelele esikebheni ngesikhathi kunesivunguvungu; futhi basola uJesu ngokuthi bangakhathali uma bemanzisa (Mk 4:33-38). UPeter waba ngumlobi obonakalayo kaSathane ngasikhathi sinye (Mt 16:21-23). Waqhosha ngokuthi akasoze ashiya uJesu (Mk 14:27-31) futhi, Kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, Bonke bakwenzile (Mk 14:50). UPeter waze waqalekisa, wafunga futhi waphikwa njalo uyamazi (Mt 26:69-75).

UJesu akazange anqikaze ukubhekana nalezi zingqinamba njengoba zivuka. Kodwa, Ubakhuze, Akaze ayibambe. Futhi, Naphezu kokwehluleka kukaPhetro, UJesu wayesambekile ukuba ahole abafundi (Lk 22:31-32; Jn 21:15-19).
