UYesu: Umlamli womnqophiso "olungcono"
“Ngoku le yingongoma ephambili yezinto esizithethayo: Sinombingeleli omkhulu onje, ohleli ngasekunene kwetrone yobuKhulu emazulwini, uMlungiseleli wengcwele nomnquba wenene INkosi yakha, hayi umntu. Kuba wonke umbingeleli omkhulu umiselwe ukuba anikele izipho nemibingelelo. Ke ngoko kufuneka ukuba lo unento aza kuyinikela. Kuba ukuba ebesemhlabeni, ange engambingeleli; kuba bekukho ababingeleli abanikela izipho ngokomthetho; abakhonza ikopi nesithunzi sezinto zasemazulwini, kwanjengoMoses ngokomthetho kaThixo xa wayeza kwenza umnquba. Kuba wathi, qiniseka ukuba uzenza zonke izinto ngokomfuziselo owawuboniswayo entabeni. Kodwa ngoku uzuze ulungiselelo olugqwesileyo, njengokuba naye enguMlamleli womnqophiso olungileyo ngakumbi, wona usekwe kumadinga alungileyo. (Hebhere 8: 1-6)
Namhlanje uYesu ukhonza `` kwingcwele '' engcono, engcwele yasezulwini, enkulu kunaye nawuphi na umbingeleli emhlabeni. UYesu wanikela ngegazi lakhe njengentlawulo engapheliyo yesono. Wayengaphumi kwisizwe sakwaLevi, isizwe esasivela kubabingeleli baka-Aron. Wayevela kwisizwe sakwaYuda. Ababingeleli ababenikela ngezipho 'ngokomthetho,' babekhonza kuphela loo nto yayingumfuziselo okanye 'isithunzi' sento kanaphakade emazulwini.
Kwiminyaka engamakhulu asixhenxe ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaYesu, umprofeti weTestamente eNdala uYeremiya waprofeta ngeTestamente eNtsha, okanye uMnqophiso omtsha - Yabona, kuza imihla, utsho uYehova, endiya kwenza umnqophiso omtsha nendlu kaSirayeli nendlu kaYuda; ungabi njengomnqophiso endawenza noyise ngomhla endabathabathela kuwo, isandla sabo ndibakhuphe eYiputa, umnqophiso wam abasuka bawaphula bona, nangani bendiyindoda yabo; utsho uYehova. Nguwo ke lo umnqophiso, endiya kuwenza nendlu kaSirayeli emva kwaloo mihla, itsho iNkosi: Ndiya kuwubeka umthetho wam ezingqondweni zabo, ndiwubhale ezintliziyweni zabo, ndibe nguThixo wabo, babe ngabantu bam bona. Abayi kuba safundisa elowo ummelwane wakhe, Elowo umzalwana wakhe, esithi, Yazi iNkosi; Ngokuba baya kundazi bonke, kuthabathela kwabancinane kuse kwabakhulu, utsho uYehova. Ngokuba ndiya kubuxolela ubugwenxa babo, ndingabi sasikhumbula isono sabo. (Yeremiya 31: 31-34)
UJohn MacArthur ubhala “Umthetho, owawunikwe nguMoses, wawungengomboniso wobabalo lukaThixo kodwa ibango likaThixo lobungcwele. UThixo waqulunqa umthetho njengendlela yokubonisa ukungalungisi komntu ukuze abonise isidingo soMsindisi, uYesu Krestu. Ngapha koko, umthetho utyhila inxenye yenyaniso kuphela kwaye wawulungiselela ngokwendalo. Ubunyani okanye inyani epheleleyo umthetho owalatha kuyo yeza ngobuntu bukaYesu Krestu. ” (IMacArthur 1535)
Ukuba uzithobile kwinxalenye ethile yomthetho kwaye uyakholelwa ukuba uyawugcina lo nto ukuze ufanelekele usindiso lwakho, waqwalasele la magama asuka kumaRoma-- “Ngoku siyazi ukuba nantoni na ethethwa ngumthetho, uthi kwabo baphantsi komthetho, ukuze imilomo yonke ivingcwe, nehlabathi lonke libe netyala phambi koThixo. Ngokokuba, ngokwasemisebenzini yomthetho, akuyi kugwetyelwa nyama emehlweni akhe; kuba isono saziwe ngokubakho komthetho. (AmaRoma 3: 19-20)
Siphazamile ukuba sifuna 'ukuzenza amalungisa' ngokuthobela umthetho kunokuba samkele kwaye sithobele 'ubulungisa' bukaThixo.
UPawulos wayeluthanda usindiso lwabantakwabo, amaJuda, awayethembele emthethweni ukuba awasindise. Khawuve oko wakubhalela amaRoma-- Bazalwana, inkolelo yeyam intliziyo, nesikhungo sam kuye uThixo, ngenxa yamaSirayeli, sesokuba asindiswe. Kuba ndiyabangqinela ukuba banokumzondelela uThixo, koko bengamzondeleli ngokokwazi kwakhe. Kuba bathe, bengabazi ubulungisa bukaThixo, befuna nokumisa obabo ubulungisa, ababululamela ubulungisa bukaThixo. Kuba intsingiselo yomthetho nguKristu, ukuze abe bubulungisa kubo bonke abakholwayo. (AmaRoma 10: 1-4)
AmaRoma asifundisa - Ngoku ke kubonakaliswe ubulungisa bukaThixo, kungekho mthetho, bungqinelwa nguwo umthetho, naba ke bangqinelwa ngumthetho, nangayo ke imimangaliso kaThixo, ngalo ukholo olukuYesu Kristu, kubo bonke abakholwayo. Kuba akukho mehluko; kuba bonile bonke, basilela eluzukweni lukaThixo, begwetyelwe ngesisa lubabalo lwakhe ngako ukukhululwa okukuKristu Yesu. (AmaRoma 3: 21-24)
