Yenqaba into engento yenkolo, wamkele uBomi!
UYesu wayexelele abantu - "Nisenalo nje ukhanyiso, kholwani kulo ukhanyiso, ukuze nibe ngabokhanyiso." (UYohane 12: 36aNangona kunjalo, ingxelo yeendaba ezilungileyo zikaYohane ithi-- Ke kaloku, nakuba wayenze imiqondiso engaka phambi kwabo, abakholwanga kuye, ukuze ilizwi likaIsaya umprofeti lizaliseke, awalithethayo esithi, Nkosi, ngubani na okholiweyo ludaba lwethu? Nengalo yeNkosi ityhileke kubani na? Kungoko babengenakukholwa, kuba uIsaya waphinda wathi, Uwamfamekisile amehlo abo, Uyiqaqadekisile nentliziyo yabo, Hleze babone ngamehlo, Hleze baqonde ngeentliziyo zabo, Bajike, Ndibaphilise. Ezi zinto wazithetha uIsaya, oko wabubonayo ubuqaqawuli bakhe, wathetha ngaye. (KuYohane 12: 37-40)
U-Isaya, malunga namakhulu asibhozo eminyaka ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaYesu, wathunyelwa nguThixo ukuba axelele amaJuda - “'Phulaphulani, kodwa ningaqondi; qhubeka ubona, kodwa ungaqondi. ' (Yi. 6: 9UThixo waxelela uIsaya - Yenze lukhuni intliziyo yaba bantu, neendlebe zabo zenze zithi nkqi, namehlo abo uwavingce; hleze babone ngamehlo abo, beve ngeendlebe zabo, baqonde ngentliziyo yabo, babuye, baphiliswe. (Yi. 6: 10Ngemihla kaIsaya amaYuda ayemvukela uThixo, engalithobeli ilizwi lakhe. UThixo wathuma u-Isaya ukuba abaxelele ukuba kuzakwenzeka ntoni kubo ngenxa yokungathobeli. UThixo wayesazi ukuba abazukuwamamela amazwi ka-Isaya, kodwa wamyalela u-Isaya ukuba abaxelele. Ngoku, kwiminyaka emininzi kamva, uYesu weza. Weza njengoko u-Isaya waprofetayo ukuba uya kuza; njenge “Isityalo esityibilikayo,” njenge "Iingcambu kumhlaba owomileyo," engahlonitshwa ngamadoda kodwa Ndidikiwe, ndilahliwe ngabantu. (Yi. 53: 1-3) Uzile evakalisa inyaniso ngaye. Weza esenza imimangaliso. Weza etyhila ubulungisa bukaThixo. Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwabantu lwamgatya bobabini kunye nelizwi lakhe.
UYohane, kwasekuqaleni kwincwadi yakhe yevangeli wabhala ngoYesu- "Uza kwezakhe, kwaye ezakhe azimamkeli." (KuYohane 1: 11) UYohane, kamva kwincwadi yakhe yevangeli wabhala wathi - Ke kaloku, nakwabangabaphathi, into eninzi yakholwa kuye, kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi babengamvumanga, hleze bakhutshwe esikhungwini. kuba babethanda ukudunyiswa ngabantu, kunokuba kudunyiswe uThixo. (KuYohane 12: 42-43Babengafuni ukuzibandakanya esidlangalaleni noYesu. UYesu wayeyilahlile inkolo yabaFarisi yabahanahanisi eyayivakalisa imithetho, kwaye ezolisa iintliziyo zabantu kuThixo. Inkolo yangaphandle yabaFarisi yabavumela ukuba balinganise ubulungisa babo, kunye nobulungisa babanye. Bazibambile njengabalamli kunye nabagwebi babanye, ngokwemfundiso yabo eyenziwe ngabantu. Ngokweemfundiso zabaFarisi, uYesu wasilela kuvavanyo lwabo. Ngokuphila nangokuhamba ngokuthobela okupheleleyo nokuzithoba kuYise, uYesu wayephila ngaphandle kwemithetho yabo.
Uninzi lwamaYuda lwaluneentliziyo ezilukhuni kunye neengqondo ezingaboniyo. Babengenakho ukuqonda kokomoya ukuba ungubani na uYesu. Nangona abanye besenokuba babekholelwe kuye, uninzi lwabo aluzange lufike kwinqanaba lokukholelwa kuye. Kukho umahluko omkhulu wokukholelwa kuYesu-ukukholelwa ukuba Wayekho njengomntu kwimbali, kunye nokukholelwa kwilizwi lakhe. UYesu wayehlala efuna ukuba abantu bakholwe kwilizwi lakhe, emva koko bathobele ilizwi lakhe.
Kutheni le nto kufuneka namhlanje, njengokuba kwakunjalo ngomhla kaYesu, ukuba silulahle unqulo ngaphambi kokuba samkele ubomi uYesu awayenabo ngathi? Inkolo, ngeendlela ezingapheliyo, isixelela ngendlela esinokufumana ngayo inkoliseko kaThixo. Ihlala ineemfuno zangaphandle ekufuneka zihlangatyeziwe ngaphambi kokuba ukuma "okulungileyo" phambi koThixo kunikwe. Ukuba ufunda iinkolo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi, uyabona ukuba nganye nganye ineeseti zayo zemigaqo, izithethe kunye neemfuno.
Kwiitempile zamaHindu, "iimfuno" zoothixo ziyahlangatyezwa ngabanquli abaqhubeka nezithethe zokuzihlambulula ngaphambi kokuba basondele kuthixo. Izithethe ezinje ngokuhlamba iinyawo, ukuhambisa umlomo, ukugeza, ukunxiba, ukuthambisa, ukondla, ukucula iingoma, ukukhala kwentsimbi kunye nesiqhumiso kwenziwa ngenjongo yokuya kuthixo (I-Eerdman 193-194). Kwi-Buddhism, njengenxalenye yenkqubo yokusombulula ingxaki yomntu wonke yokubandezeleka, umntu kufuneka alandele umendo osibhozo-lwazi oluchanekileyo, isimo sengqondo esifanelekileyo, intetho elungileyo, isenzo esifanelekileyo, ukuhlala ngokuchanekileyo, umzamo ochanekileyo, ukuba nengqondo elungileyo, kunye nokunene ukuzola (231). Inkolo yobu-Orthodox yobu-Orthodox ifuna ukuba kulandelwe imithetho engqongqo malunga nonqulo lukaShabat (iSabatha), imithetho yokutya, kunye nokuthandaza kathathu ngosuku294). Umlandeli wamaSilamsi kufuneka aqwalasele iintsika ezintlanu zobuSilamsi: i-degree (intetho eqinisekileyo yama-Arabhu yobungqina bokuba akukho thixo ngaphandle kuka-Allah, nokuba uMuhammad ungumprofeti wakhe), isalat (imithandazo emihlanu ngamaxesha athile suku ngalunye ejonge eMecca. , ezandulelwa kukuhlanjwa ngokwesiko), i-zakat (irhafu enyanzelekileyo enikwa abo banethamsanqa), isarha (ukuzila ukutya ngeRamadan), kunye neHajj (uhambo oluya eMecca ubuncinci kube kanye ebomini bomntu) (321-323).
Inkolo ihlala igxininisa kwimigudu yabantu yokukholisa uThixo. UYesu weza kutyhila uThixo eluntwini. Weza ukubonisa ukuba ulilungisa kangakanani na uThixo. Weza kwenza into engenako ukwenziwa ngumntu. UYesu wamkholisa uThixo-nathi. Ngokuyimfuneko uYesu wayilahla inkolo yeenkokheli zamaJuda. Baye bayiphosa injongo yomthetho kaMoses ngokupheleleyo. Yayikukunceda amaJuda azi ukuba awanako ukufikelela kumthetho, kodwa ayedinga uMsindisi. Inkolo ihlala izenza ubulungisa, kwaye yile nto abaFarisi bazaliswa yiyo. Inkolo ibunciphisa ubulungisa bukaThixo. Kwabo bakholelwa ukuba uYesu wayenguMesiya, kodwa bengayi kumvuma ekuhleni, iindleko zokwenza oko zaziphezulu kakhulu ukuba bangazihlawula. Ithi bayakuthanda ukunconywa ngabantu, ngaphezu koThixo.
Njengomntu owayesakuba nguMormoni, ndachitha ixesha elininzi kunye namandla ndisenza itempile kaMormoni. Ndisebenze "ukugcina usuku lweSabatha lungcwele." Ndandihlala nemithetho yokutya kaMormonism. Ndilandele oko kufundiswa ngabaprofeti baka-Mormon kunye nabapostile. Ndichithe iiyure kunye neeyure ndisenza kumlibo wokuzalwa. Ndandinolwalamano olusondeleyo necawa, kodwa hayi noYesu Kristu. Ndathembela kwinto endinokuyenza ukuze “ndiphile ivangeli” njengoko amaMormon esitsho. Uninzi lwabaFarisi bosuku lukaYesu bachitha ixesha elininzi kunye namandla kwinkolo, kodwa xa uYesu wafika wabamemela kulwalamano olutsha noluphilayo noThixo, abayi kuyishiya inkolo yabo. Bafuna ukubambelela kumyalelo wakudala, nangona yayinempazamo kwaye yaphukile. Nokuba bayayiqonda okanye abayazi, inkolo yabo iyakubakhokelela ngononophelo kubomi obungenasiphelo ngaphandle koThixo - kwimbubhiso engonaphakade. Babengafuni nokuzibona kukuKhanya kwenene kukaYesu Kristu. Inyaniso iyayityhila indlela ababepxagxeka kwaye baphuke ngayo ngaphakathi. Bafuna ukuqhubeka nokukhohlisa inkolo yabo - yokuba iinzame zabo zangaphandle zazanele ukuzuza ubomi banaphakade. Babeneentliziyo ezifuna ukulandela nokukholisa abantu, kunoThixo.
Ndiyazi ukuba kukho indleko ephezulu yokwala inkolo, kunye nokwamkela ubomi obuninzi ukuba ubudlelwane noYesu Krestu obunokubunikela. Ezo ndleko zinokuba kukuphulukana nobudlelwane, ukuphulukana nomsebenzi, okanye nokufa. Kodwa, nguYesu kuphela umdiliya wobomi bokwenene. Singaba yinxalenye yaKhe ukuba umoya wakhe uhlala ngaphakathi kwethu. Kuphela ngabo bazelwe ngokutsha ngokholo kuYe bathabathayo kubomi banaphakade. Asinako ukonwabela iziqhamo zoMoya wakhe ngaphandle kokuba sihlala kuye, kwaye uhleli kuthi. Namhlanje uYesu ufuna ukukunika ubomi obutsha. Nguye kuphela onokunika uMoya wakhe. Nguye kuphela onokuthatha yonke indlela ukusuka apho ukhoyo namhlanje, uye ezulwini ukuze uphile naye ngonaphakade. Njengeenkokheli zamaJuda, sinokhetho lokuba singayibeki ecaleni ikratshi lethu kunye nenkolo yethu, kwaye sithembele kwaye sithobele ilizwi lakhe. Unokumamkela namhlanje njengoMsindisi wakho, okanye ngenye imini unokuma phambi kwakhe njengoMgwebi. Uya kugwetywa ngenxa yeziphi izinto ozenzileyo kobu bomi, kodwa ukuba uyayiqaba le nto ayenzileyo uya kuba uhleli ngonaphakade ngaphandle kwakhe. Kum, ukwala inkolo linyathelo elibalulekileyo ekwamkeleni uBomi!
