Abaprofethi bamanga bangasho ukufa, kepha nguJesu kuphela ongabiza impilo
Emva kokuba uJesu embulele uMarta, ukuthi Ungukuvuka nokuphila; umlando uqhubeka - “Wathi kuye, 'Yebo, Nkosi, ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ozayo emhlabeni.' Eseshilo lokho, wahamba wabiza uMariya udadewabo ngasese, wathi: 'UMfundisi ufikile, uyakubiza.' Yena-ke ekuzwile lokho wasuka masinyane, weza kuye. Kepha uJesu wayengakafiki emzini, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona. AmaJuda ayenaye endlini emduduza, lapho bebona ukuthi uMariya wasukuma masinyane, waphuma, bamlandela bathi: Uya ethuneni ukuyokhala khona. Lapho uMariya efika lapho uJesu ayekhona, embona, wawa phansi ngasezinyaweni zakhe, wathi kuye: 'Nkosi, uma ubulapha, umnewethu nga engafanga.' Ngakho-ke, lapho uJesu embona ekhala, namaJuda abeze naye ekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wakhathazeka. Wathi, Umbekephi na? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone. UJesu wakhala. Base bethi abaJuda: “Bheka, ukumthanda kwakhe okungaka.” Abanye babo bathi: 'Lo owavule amehlo empumputhe ubengekwenze yini ukuba lo muntu angafi na?' Khona uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe weza ethuneni. Lalingumhume, kubekwe itshe kuwo. UJesu wathi: Susani itshe. UMarta, udadewabo wofileyo, wathi kuye: Nkosi, manje usenuka; ngokuba sekunezinsuku ezine efile. UJesu wathi kuye, 'Angishongo yini kuwe ukuthi uma ukholwa uzobona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?' Balisusa-ke itshe lapho kwakulele khona ofile. Kepha uJesu waphakamisa amehlo, wathi: 'Baba, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ungizwile. Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalo, kodwa ngenxa yalabo bantu abami lapha ngishilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile. Eseshilo lokho wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: Lazaru, phuma. Ofile waphuma eboshwe izinyawo nezandla ngezindwangu zamathuna, nobuso bakhe busongwe ngendwangu. UJesu wathi kubo: 'Mthukululeni, nimyeke ahambe.' ” (Johane 11: 27-44)
Ngokuvusa uLazaru kwabafileyo, uJesu waletha amazwi akhe - “'Mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila'” ngokoqobo. Labo ababona lesi simangaliso babona amandla kaNkulunkulu okuvusa umuntu ofile. UJesu wayethe ukugula kukaLazaru kwakungeyona "Kuze kube sekufeni," kodwa kwakungokwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Ukugula kukaLazaru akuzange kubangele ukufa ngokomoya. Ukugula kwakhe nokufa kwakhe okwesikhashana ngokomzimba, kwasetshenziswa uNkulunkulu ukukhombisa amandla negunya likaNkulunkulu phezu kokufa. Umoya nomphefumulo kaLazaru kwaphela emzimbeni wakhe okwesikhashana. Amazwi KaJesu - “'Lazaru, phuma,'” wabizela umoya nomphefumulo kaLazaru emuva emzimbeni wakhe. Ekugcineni uLazaru wayezokufa unomphela ngokwenyama, kodwa ngokukholwa kuJesu, uLazaru wayengeke ahlukaniswe noNkulunkulu ingunaphakade.
UJesu wathi Uyikho "Impilo." Kusho ukuthini lokhu? UJohane wabhala - "Kwakukhona kuye impilo, nokuphila bekukhanya, ukukhanya kwabantu." (Johane 1: 4Wabhala futhi - “Lowo okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; Kepha ongakholwayo eNdodaneni kayikubona impilo, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luhlala phezu kwakhe. ” (Johane 3: 36UJesu waxwayisa abaFarisi benkolo - Isela alizi ngaphandle kokuthi lizokweba nokubulala, nokubhubhisa. Ngizele ukuba babe nokuphila, futhi babe nakho kakhulu. ” (Johane 10: 10)
ENtshumayelweni yakhe yaseNtabeni, uJesu waxwayisa - “Xwayani abaprofethi bamanga, abeza kini bembathise okwezimvu, kepha ngaphakathi bayizimpisi eziphangayo. Niyobazi ngezithelo zabo. Abantu bakha izithelo zomvini esihlahleni somunga noma amakhiwane emakhakhasini na? Kanjalo yilowo nalowo muthi omuhle uthela izithelo ezinhle, kepha umuthi omubi uthela izithelo ezimbi. Isihlahla esihle asikwazi ukuthela izithelo ezimbi, futhi nomuthi omubi awukwazi ukuthela izithelo ezinhle. Yonke imithi engatheli izithelo ezinhle iyanqunywa, iphonswe emlilweni. Ngakho-ke niyobazi ngezithelo zabo. '” (Math. 7: 15-20) Sifunda kwabaseGalathiya - “Kepha izithelo zoMoya ziluthando, nenjabulo, nokuthula, nokubekezela, nomusa, nobuhle, nokukholeka, nobumnene, nokuzithiba. Akukho mthetho ophikisana nezinto ezinjalo. ” (Gal. 5:22-23)
Kwethulwa umprofethi wamanga uJoseph Smith "Omunye" ivangeli, lapho yena ngokwakhe ayeyingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu kuyo. Umprofethi wamanga we-LDS wesibili uBrigham Young wenza lesi sitatimende ngo-1857 - “… Kholwa kuNkulunkulu, Kholwa kuJesu, futhi ukholwe kuJoseph umProfethi wakhe, nakuBrigham owamlandela. Futhi ngiyanezela, 'Uma uzokholwa enhliziyweni yakho futhi uvume ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, nokuthi uJoseph wayengumProfethi, nokuthi uBrigham nguye owamlandela, uzosindiswa embusweni kaNkulunkulu, ” (I-Tanner 3-4)
Sifunda futhi kwabaseGalathiya - “Manje imisebenzi yenyama iyabonakala, okuyile: ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukungcola, ubufebe, ukukhonza izithombe, ubuthakathi, inzondo, imibango, ubuhwaba, ukukhishwa kolaka, izifiso zobugovu, ukungezwani, ukuhlanya, umhawu, ukubulala, ukudakwa, imibuthano exokozelayo, nokunye okunjalo; enginitshela khona kusengaphambili, njengoba nje nami benginitshelile ngaphambili, ukuthi labo abazenza izinto ezinjalo ngeke balizuze ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu. ” (Gal. 5:19-21) Kunobufakazi obucacile bomlando bokuthi bobabili uJoseph Smith noBrigham Young babeyiziphingi (I-Tanner 203, 225). UJoseph Smith wayeyindoda engcolile; lapho enqaba unkosikazi womunye wabaphostoli bakhe, wathatha indodakazi kaHeber C. Kimball yaba ngumkakhe esikhundleni sakhe (I-Tanner xnumx). UJoseph Smith wasebenzisa ubuthakathi ukuqamba iNcwadi kaMormoni ngokusebenzisa itshe (I-Tanner xnumx). Ngokuziqhenya kwakhe (isici uNkulunkulu asizondayo), uJoseph Smith wake wathi - “Ngilwa nenkinga yobudala; Ngihlangana nodlame lwezixuku; Ngibhekana nezinyathelo ezingekho emthethweni ezivela kwiziphathimandla eziphezulu; Nginqume ifindo lamandla le-gordian, futhi ngixazulula izinkinga zezibalo zamanyuvesi, ngeqiniso - iqiniso ledayimane; futhi uNkulunkulu 'ungumuntu wami wesandla sokunene' ” (I-Tanner xnumx) Bobabili uJoseph Smith noBrigham Young babengamadoda ahlubukayo. UJoseph Smith wafundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengeyena nje umuntu ophakeme (I-Tanner xnumx), kwathi ngo-1852, uBrigham Young washumayeza uAdam “UBaba wethu noNkulunkulu wethu” (I-Tanner xnumx).
Bobabili uJoseph Smith noMuhammad babona igunya labo lingaphezu nje komoya. Bobabili baba ngabaholi bomphakathi nabezempi ababenomuzwa wokuthi banegunya lokunquma ukuthi ubani ozophila, nokuthi ngubani ozokufa. Umholi wokuqala wamaMormon, u-Orson Hyde, wabhala ephephandabeni lika-1844 Mormon - "Umdala uRigdon uhlangane noJoseph noHyrum Smith njengomeluleki waleli bandla, futhi ungitshele eFar West ukuthi kubalulekile ukuthi iBandla lilalele izwi likaJoseph Smith, noma ubongameli, ngaphandle kombuzo noma uphenyo, nokuthi uma bekukhona obekungavumi, kufanele banqunywe imiqala yabo kusukela endlebeni kuye endlebeni ” (I-Tanner xnumx). U-Anees Zaka noDiane Coleman babhale - “UMuhammad, emgodleni wakhe, wayefuna ukuvelela futhi enenhloso. Isimangalo sobuphostoli, esuselwa ezigabeni ezifana nokuquleka ngezikhathi ezithile, samnika isikhundla negunya kubantu base-Arab. Ukumenyezelwa kwencwadi yaphezulu kwabeka uphawu lelo gunya. Njengoba amandla akhe ekhula, kanjalo nesifiso sakhe sokulawula okukhulu sakhula. Wasebenzisa zonke izindlela ayenazo ukuze anqobe futhi anqobe. Ukuhamba ngezinqola ezihamba phambili, ukukhulisa amasosha, ukuthatha abathumbi, ukuyala ukuba umphakathi ubulawe - konke kwakusemthethweni kuye, ngoba 'wayeyisithunywa esikhethiwe' sika-Allah ” (54).
Ukusindiswa ngomusa kaJesu Kristu kuhluke kakhulu ezinkolweni ezenziwa nguJoseph Smith noMuhammad. UJesu waletha impilo kumuntu; UJoseph Smith noMuhammad bakuthethelela ukuthatha impilo. UJesu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ukuze labo abamethembayo bathethelelwe izono zabo ingunaphakade; UJoseph Smith noMuhammad bobabili babegcwele ukuvelela nokuziqhenya. UJesu Kristu weza ukuzokhulula abantu esonweni nasekufeni; UJoseph Smith noMuhammad bagqilaza abantu enkolweni - emzameni oqhubekayo wokuzama ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngokulalela ngaphandle izimiso nemikhuba. UJesu weza ukuzobuyisa ubudlelwane bomuntu noNkulunkulu obabulahlekile selokhu kwawa u-Adamu ensimini; UJoseph Smith noMuhammad bahola abantu ukuba babalandele - noma ngabe besongelwa ngokufa.
UJesu Kristu ukhokhele inani lezono zakho. Uma uthembela emsebenzini waKhe ophelile esiphambanweni futhi uzinikele ebukhosini Bakhe empilweni yakho, uzothola izithelo ezibusisiwe zikaMoya kaNkulunkulu njengengxenye yempilo yakho. Ngeke uze kuye namuhla…
