Izithethe zeTestamente eNdala zaziziindidi kunye nezithunzi; ukwalatha abantu kwinyani yeTestamente eNtsha yexesha elizayo efumaneka kubudlelwane obusindisayo noYesu Krestu
Umbhali wamaHebhere ngoku ubabonisa abafundi bakhe indlela uMnqophiso oMdala okanye amasiko eTestamente eNdala awayeyintlobo kunye nezithunzi nje zoMnqophiso oMtsha okanye inyani yeTestamente eNtsha kaYesu Krestu - “Ke ngoko, nowokuqala umnqophiso wawunemimiselo yenkonzo yezulu kunye nengcwele yasemhlabeni. Kuba kwakhiwa umnquba lowo. Isiphatho sezibane, netafile, nesonka sokubonisa, ekuthiwa yindawo engcwele; ngasemva kwekhuselo lesibini, icandelo lomnquba elibizwa ngokuba yeyona ndawo ingcwele, elinovalo lwegolide kunye netyeya yomnqophiso, yalekwe ngegolide macala onke, kukho imbiza yegolide enemana, intonga ka-Aron. Ukudubula, kunye namacwecwe omnqophiso. Ke ngaphezu kwayo kwema iikerubhi zobuqaqawuli, zisibekele isicamagushelo. Ngezi zinto ngoku asinakuthetha ngokweenkcukacha. Ke kaloku, zakuba zilungisiwe ezi zinto, ababingeleli bahlala bengena kwinxalenye yokuqala yomnquba, besenza inkonzo leyo. Kodwa kwinxalenye yesibini umbingeleli omkhulu wayehamba yedwa kube kanye ngonyaka, engenalo ngaphandle kwegazi, awayezinikela ngenxa yakhe nangenxa yezono zabantu ezazenziwe ngokungazi; UMoya oyiNgcwele ebonisa oku, ukuba indlela eya kweYona Ngcwele ayikabonakaliswa ngelixa umnquba wokuqala wawusemi. Yayingumfuziselo weli xesha langoku apho kunikelwa khona izipho nemibingelelo engenako ukwenza ukuba lowo wenze inkonzo agqibelele ngokubhekisele kwisazela-esichaphazela kuphela ukutya neziselo, ukuhlamba okwahlukeneyo, nemimiselo yenyama eyamiselwa kude kube lixesha lohlaziyo. ” (Hebhere 9: 1-10)
Umnquba wawuyingcwele okanye indawo engcwele; ubekelwe bucala ubukho bukaThixo. UThixo wayebaxelele kwiEksodus-- Bandenzele indawo engcwele, ndihlale phakathi kwabo. (IEksodus 25: 8)
Isiphatho sezibane sasiyi-menorah, senziwe ngokomthi wom-amangile, onika ukukhanya kubabingeleli ababekhonza kwindawo engcwele. Yayingumfuziselo kaKristu owayelukhanyiso lwenene olwaluza kuza ehlabathini. (IEksodus 25: 31)
Isonka, okanye 'isonka soBukho,' sinezonka ezilishumi elinambini ezazibekwa etafileni kwicala elingasentla leNdawo eNgcwele. Esi sonka ngokomfuziselo 'savuma' ukuba izizwe ezilishumi elinambini zakwaSirayeli zazisoloko zigcinwa ziphantsi kolawulo lukaThixo. Ikwangumfuziselo kaYesu, owayesisonka esivela ezulwini. (IEksodus 25: 30)
Isiqhumiso segolide sasisitya apho isiqhumiso sasinikelwa esibingelelweni segolide phambi kweNkosi. Umbingeleli wayegcwalisa ugcedevu ngamalahle aphuma emlilweni ongcwele wedini elinyukayo, aluthwale aluse kwindlu engcwele, aze ke aphose isiqhumiso kulahle amalahle. Isibingelelo sesiqhumiso sasingumfuziselo kaKristu njengomlamleli wethu phambi koThixo. (IEksodus 30: 1)
Ityeya yomnqophiso yayiyibhokisi yomthi, yalekwe ngegolide ngaphakathi nangaphandle eyayinamacwecwe omthetho (imithetho elishumi), imbiza yegolide enemana, kunye nentonga ka-Aron eyayidubule. Isigqubuthelo setyeya 'yayisisihlalo sokucamagusha' apho kwakwenzelwa khona intlawulelo. UMacArthur ubhala athi “Phakathi kwelifu lobuqaqawuli laseShekinah ngaphezulu kwetyeya kunye namacwecwe omthetho ngaphakathi kwetyeya kwakukho isiciko sokufefa segazi. Igazi lamadini lalimi phakathi koThixo nomthetho kaThixo owophuliweyo. ”
Ixesha "lohlaziyo" lafika xa uYesu waswelekayo waphalaza igazi lakhe ngenxa yezono zethu. Kude kube leli xesha, uThixo kuphela 'wazidlulisa' izono zethu. Igazi lezilwanyana ezahlukeneyo ezazinikelwa phantsi kweTestamente eNdala alonelanga ukususa isono.
Namhlanje, 'senziwe amalungisa noThixo' kuphela, okanye sigwetyelwe ngokholo kuYesu Kristu. AmaRoma asifundisa - “Ke ngoku kubonakalisiwe ubulungisa bukaThixo, kungekho mthetho, bungqinelwa nguwo umthetho nabaprofeti, ubulungisa ke bukaThixo, ngokukholwa kuYesu Kristu, kubo bonke, nakubo bonke abakholwayo. Kuba akukho mahluko; kuba bonile bonke, basilela eluzukweni lukaThixo; begwetyelwe ngesisa lubabalo lwakhe ngako ukukhululwa ngentlawulelo ekuYesu Kristu; awathi uThixo, wammisa ukuba abe sisicamagushelo ngegazi lakhe, ngako ukukholwa, ukuze bubonakalaliswe ubulungisa bakhe. Umonde uThixo wazidlulisa izono ezazisenziwa ngaphambili, ukubonisa ngeli xesha langoku ubulungisa bakhe, ukuze abe lilungisa, kwanomgwebeli walowo ukholwayo kuYesu. ” (AmaRoma 3: 21-26)
