Hlala eMdiliya, okanye uhlale emlilweni ongunaphakade… uyokukhetha ntoni?
UYesu wanika abafundi baKhe kunye nathi sonke isilumkiso xa wathi oku kulandelayo - “Ukuba umntu uthe akahlala kum, ulahlelwa phandle njengesebe, ome; baziqokelele baziphose emlilweni, zize zitshe. '” (KuYohane 15: 6Sonke sizalwe siphantsi kwesigwebo sesono sokuqala sika-Adam no-Eva. Sizalwa sinesimo sokuwa okanye esonayo. Ngokwethu, kubuntu bethu obuwileyo, asinakusebenza ngendlela yethu yokuphuma isohlwayo sokufa ngokwasemzimbeni nangokomoya esikuso. Sifuna ungenelelo lwangaphandle - intlawulelo. UThixo, uSomandla onguMoya ongunaPhakade, weza ngokuzithoba emhlabeni, wazigquma kwinyama yomntu, waba kuphela kwentlawulelo kanaphakade nedini elisinika inkululeko kubukhoboka obungunaphakade. Sifunda kumaHebhere-- Kodwa sibona uYesu, lowo wancitshiswa kancinane kunezithunywa zezulu, ngenxa yokuva ubunzima, ethwele uzuko nembeko, ukuze ngobabalo lukaThixo eve ukufa ngenxa yabo bonke. (Heb. 2:9Cinga nje ukuba nguThixo onothando nosikhathaleleyo esinako na ukuba asisindise-- “Njengokuba ke abantwana bethabathe inxaxheba enyameni nasegazini, naye ngokwakhe wahlanganyela kwezo zinto, ukuze ngokufa ambhangise lowo unamandla okufa, oko kukuthi, uMtyholi, abakhulule abo ke boyike ukufa. lonke ixesha lokudla kwabo ubomi bebukhoboka. (Heb. 2:14-15)
UPawulos wafundisa amaRoma inyaniso ebalulekileyo - "Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa, kodwa isipho sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu." (I-ROM. 6: 23Yintoni isono? I-Wycliffe Bible Dictionary iyichaza ngale ndlela- “Isono siyinto echasene nobuntu bukaThixo. Kuba uzuko lukaThixo kukutyhilwa kwesimilo saKhe, isono kukusilela kobuqaqawuli okanye isimilo sikaThixo. ” (I-Pfeiffer 1593) Isuka KwabaseRoma 3: 23 Sifunda ubunyani bokwenyani malunga nathi sonke - "Kuba bonile bonke, basilela eluzukweni lukaThixo." Ke yintoni enento yokwenza konke oku KuYohane 15: 6? Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu athi abo bangahlaliyo kuye bayakukhutshwa baphoswe emlilweni? UYesu, emva kokufa nokuvuka kwakhe, watyhilela umpostile uYohane lo mbono ulandelayo womgwebo wetrone enkulu emhlophe (ukugwetywa kwabo basalayo isipho sikaYesu sentlawulelo) - Ndaza ndabona itrone emhlophe enkulu, nalowo uhleli phezu kwayo, owathi umhlaba nezulu zibaleke ebusweni bakhe. Kwaye ayafunyanelwa ndawo. Kwaye ndabona abafileyo, abancinci nabakhulu, bemi phambi koThixo, iincwadi zavulwa. Kwaye kwavulwa enye incwadi, eyiNcwadi yoBomi. Kwaye abafileyo bagwetywa ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ngezinto ezibhaliweyo ezincwadini. Ulwandle lwabakhupha abafileyo abakulo, kwathi ukufa neHadesi kwabakhupha abafileyo ababekuzo. Bagwetywa elowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwaza ke ukufa neHadesi kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini. Kwaye nabani na ongafunyanwanga ebhaliwe eNcwadini yoBomi waphoswa edikeni lomlilo. " (ISityhi. 20: 11-15Ukulahla kwabo oko uKristu wabenzela kona, kubashiya beme phambi koThixo becela imisebenzi yabo ukuba bahlangulwe. Ngelishwa, nokuba kungakanani okuhle abanokukwenza ebomini, ukuba basala isipho sobabalo (intlawulo epheleleyo ngentlawulelo epheleleyo ngoYesu Krestu), balahla naliphi na ithemba lobomi obungunaphakade. Endaweni yoko bakhetha ukufa kwesibini, okanye ukwahlukana ngonaphakade noThixo. Aya kuhlala “edikeni lomlilo” ngonaphakade UYesu wathetha ngokwahlulwa xa wayexelela abaFarisi ababezenza amalungisa, ababezama ukuzithethelela phambi kukaThixo-- Ndiyemka, yaye niya kundifuna, + kodwa niya kufela esonweni senu. Apho ndiya khona aninakuza… Nina nivela ngaphantsi; Ndivela phezulu. Nina ningabeli hlabathi; Andingoweli hlabathi. Ndatsho ngoko kuni ukuthi, Niya kufela ezonweni zenu; kuba ekubeni nithe anakholwa ukuba ndinguye, niya kufela ezonweni zenu. (KuYohane 8: 21-24)
UYesu wathi phambi kokuba afe- “Kugqityiwe.” Intlawulelo yethu yanaphakade igqityiwe. Kufuneka siyamkele ngokholo kwinto uYesu asenzele yona. Ukuba asiyamkeli, kwaye siqhubeke nokulandela usindiso lwethu, okanye silandele endaweni iimfundiso ezibulalayo zomoya zikaJoseph Smith, uMuhammad, okanye abanye abafundisi bobuxoki, sinokukhetha ngokukhetha ukufa okungunaphakade. Ufuna ukuchitha phi unaphakade? Namhlanje ngumhla wosindiso, ngaba awuyi kuYesu, unikele ngobomi bakho kuye ukuze uphile!
