Shin Yesu Babban Firist naku ne kuma Sarkin Salama?
Marubucin Ibraniyawa ya koyar da yadda tarihin Melchizedek ya kasance 'sifar' Kristi ne - “Saboda wannan Malkisadik, Sarkin Salem, firist na Allah Maɗaukaki, wanda ya sadu da Ibrahim yana dawowa daga kisan sarakuna ya sa masa albarka, wanda shi ma Ibrahim ya ba shi ushiri na duka, wanda aka fara fassara shi 'sarkin adalci,' sannan kuma Sarkin Salem, ma'ana 'sarkin salama,' ba tare da uba ba, ba tare da uwa ba, ba tare da asalin asalinsu ba, ba shi da farkon kwanaki ko ƙarshen rayuwa, amma an yi shi kamar ofan Allah, yana nan firist koyaushe. ” (Ibraniyawa 7: 1-3) Ya kuma koyar da yadda babban firist ɗin Melchizedek ya fi firist na Haruna girma - “Yanzu ka yi la’akari da yadda wannan mutum ya zama babba, wanda har ubangidansa Ibrahim ya ba shi ushiri na ganima. Kuma hakika waɗanda suke daga zuriyar Lawi, waɗanda suka karɓi firist, suna da umarni su karɓi zakka daga mutane bisa ga doka, ma’ana, daga ‘yan’uwansu, ko da yake sun fito daga zuriyar Ibrahim; amma wanda asalinsa bai samo asali daga wurinsu ba ya karɓi ushiri daga Ibrahim kuma ya albarkaci wanda ya sami alƙawarin. Yanzu fiye da duk saɓani mai ƙanƙanci ya sami albarka daga mafi kyau. A nan mutane masu karɓar ushiri, amma a can ne yake karɓar su, waɗanda a kan su shaida ne cewa yana raye. Ko Lawi, wanda ke karɓar ushiri, ya ba da zakka ta wurin Ibrahim, don haka, tun yana cikin tsatson mahaifinsa lokacin da Malkisadik ya sadu da shi. ” (Ibraniyawa 7: 4-10)
Daga Scofield - “Malkisadik irin Kristi ne Sarki-Firist. Nau'in ya shafi aikin firist na Kristi a tashin matattu, tunda Melchizedek yana gabatar da kawai abubuwan tunawa ne na hadaya, burodi da ruwan inabi. 'Bisa ga umarnin Malkisadik' yana nufin ikon sarauta da kuma ƙarshen waƙoƙin babban firist na Kristi. Sau da yawa mutuwa ta katse aikin firist na Haruna. Kristi firist ne bisa ga tsarin Malkisadik, a matsayin Sarkin adalci, Sarkin salama, kuma a ƙarshen aikin firist nasa; amma aikin firist na Haruna yana nuna aikinsa na firist. ” (Scofield, 27)
Daga MacArthur - “Firist ɗin Lawiyawa na gado ne, amma na Melchizedek ba. Ba a san mahaifinsa da asalinsa ba saboda ba su da wata alaka da matsayinsa na firist chi Melchizedek ba shi ne Almasihu wanda aka haifa ba, kamar yadda wasu ke fada, amma ya yi kama da Kristi ta yadda matsayinsa na sarauta ne, mai adalci ne, mai aminci ne, ba shi da iyaka. (MacArthur, 1857)
Daga MacArthur - “Firistocin Lawiyawa sun canza kamar yadda kowane firist ya mutu har sai ya mutu gaba ɗaya, alhali kuwa aikin Melchizedek na firist ne na dindindin tunda rubutaccen tarihin firist ɗin sa ba ya rubuta mutuwarsa.” (MacArthur, 1858)
Masu imani Ibraniyawa suna buƙatar fahimtar yadda firist ɗin Kristi ya bambanta da na firist na Haruna wanda suka saba da shi. Kristi ne kaɗai ke ɗauke da matsayin firist na Melchizedek saboda Shi kaɗai ke da ikon rai mara ƙarewa. Yesu ya shiga 'Wuri Mafi Tsarki' sau ɗaya tak, da jininsa domin ya shiga tsakani ya sasanta mu.
A cikin Kiristanci na Sabon Alkawari, tunanin aikin firist na duk masu bi ya shafi wannan sutura, ba cikin adalcinmu ba, amma cikin adalcin Kristi, zamu iya yin addu’a ga wasu.
Me yasa matsayin firist na Kristi yake da mahimmanci? Marubucin Ibraniyawa daga baya ya ce - “Yanzu wannan shine ainihin batun abubuwan da muke faɗi: Muna da irin wannan Babban Firist, wanda yake zaune a hannun dama na kursiyin Maɗaukaki a sama, mai hidimar Wuri Mai Tsarki da na alfarwa ta gaskiya wadda Ubangiji ne ya kafa, ba mutum ba. ” (Ibraniyawa 8: 1-2)
Muna da Yesu a sama wanda ke shiga tsakani. Yana kaunar mu cikakke kuma yana son mu dogara gare shi kuma mu bi shi. Yana so ya bamu rai madawwami; haka nan kuma rayuwa mai cike da yalwar Ruhunsa yayin da muke duniya.
