Ukuphumla kwenene kubabalo lukaKristu
Umbhali wamaHebhere uyaqhubeka nokuchaza 'ukuphumla' kukaThixo - Kuba wakha wathetha ngawo umhla wesixhenxe, ukuthi, Waza waphumla uThixo ngawo umhla wesixhenxe kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe; athi kule kananjalo, Unakanye ukuba bokha bangene ekuphumleni kwam. Ekubeni ke kusalindele ke ukuthi kubekho bathile bangenayo kuko, baye abo, bashunyayezwayo iindaba ezilungileyo kuqala, bengangenanga ngenxa yokungeva: uthe, 'Namhlanje, ukuba niyaliva ilizwi laKhe, musani ukuzenza lukhuni iintliziyo zenu.' Kuba uYoshuwa, ukuba ubebaphumzile, ange engabuyanga athethe ngawo omnye umhla. Ngoko ke abantu bakaThixo balindwe luphumlo olunjengolwesabatha. (Hebhere 4: 4-9)
Ileta eya kumaHebhere yayibhalelwe ukukhuthaza amaKristu angamaJuda ukuba angabuyeli kwimithetho yobuJuda kuba ubuYuda beTestamente eNdala babuphelile. U-Kristu wayewuphelisile umnqophiso omdala okanye iTestamente eNdala ngokuzalisekisa injongo yomthetho. Ukufa kukaYesu yayisisiseko somnqophiso omtsha okanye iTestamente eNtsha.
Kwezi vesi zingasentla, 'ukuphumla' okushiyekileyo kubantu bakaThixo, kukuphumla esikufumanayo xa siqonda ukuba lonke ixabiso lihlawulwe ngentlawulelo yethu epheleleyo.
Inkolo, okanye iinzame zomntu zokwanelisa uThixo ngeendlela ezithile zokuzingcwalisa zililize. Ukuthembela kumandla ethu okuzenza amalungisa ngokulandela iinxalenye zomnqophiso omdala okanye imithetho nemimiselo eyahlukeneyo, ayikufanelanga ukugwetyelwa okanye ukungcwaliswa.
Ukuxuba umthetho kunye nobabalo akusebenzi. Lo myalezo ukuyo yonke iTestamente eNtsha. Zininzi izilumkiso malunga nokubuyela emthethweni okanye ukukholelwa ezinye iindaba ezilungileyo. U-Pawulos uqhubekile waqhubana nabenzi bama Yuda, ababengabamisi bama Yuda abafundisa ukuba ezinye iinxalenye zomnqophiso omdala mazilandelwe ukuze zikholise uThixo.
UPawulos waxelela abaseGalati- “Sisazi ukuba umntu akagwetyelwa ngokwasemisebenzini yomthetho; kuba ngemisebenzi yomthetho akukho nyama iya kugwetyelwa. (Gal. 2:16)
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo kwakunzima kumakholwa angama Yuda ukujika emthethweni abewulandela ixesha elide. Into eyenziwa ngumthetho yayikukubonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba nesono kwendalo yomntu. Akukho ndlela yakwenza ukuba nabani na agcine umthetho ngokugqibeleleyo. Ukuba uthembele kwinkolo yemithetho yanamhlanje ukuze ukholise uThixo, usendleleni ekufeni. Ayinakwenziwa. AmaJuda akakwazanga ukuyenza, kwaye akukho namnye kuthi onokuyenza.
Ukholo kwimisebenzi egqityiweyo kaKristu kukuphela kokuphuma. UPawulos wathi kumaGalati: “Kodwa ke isiBhalo sizivalele zonke izinto phantsi kwesono, ukuze idinga eliphuma ekukholweni kuYesu Krestu linikwe abakholwayo. Ngaphambi ke kokufika kokholo, sasigcinwa, sigcinwe ngumthetho, sigcinelwa ukholo olwaluza kutyhilwa kamva. Ngoko ke umthetho waba ngumphathi wethu wokusizisa kuKristu, ukuze sigwetyelwe ngokwaselukholweni. (Gal. 3:22-24)
UScofield wabhala kwiBhayibhile yakhe yokufunda - “Phantsi komnqophiso omtsha wobabalo umthetho-siseko wokuthobela intando kaThixo uveliswa ngaphakathi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ubomi bekholwa kwisiphithiphithi sokuthanda kwabo ukuba 'uphantsi komthetho kuKristu', kwaye 'umthetho kaKristu' omtsha uyinto eyonwabisayo kuye; ngeli xesha, ngoMoya ohleli ngaphakathi, ubulungisa bomthetho buzalisekiswa kuye. Imiyalelo isetyenziswe kwiZibhalo zamaKristu ngokukhethekileyo njengomyalelo wobulungisa. ”
