Hlala Emvini, noma uhlale emlilweni waphakade… uzokhetha ini?
UJesu wanikeza abafundi Bakhe kanye nathi sonke isexwayiso esinzima lapho esho okulandelayo - “'Uma umuntu engahlali kimi, ulahlwa ngaphandle njengegatsha abune; bazibuthe baziphonse emlilweni, zishe. '” (Johane 15: 6) Sonke sizalwa singaphansi kwesigwebo sesono sokuqala sika-Adamu no-Eva. Sizalwa sinesimo esiwile noma esinesono. Ngokwethu, esimweni sethu sobuntu esiwile, asikwazi ukusebenza ngendlela yethu yokuphuma esijezisweni sokufa ngokwenyama nangokomoya esikusona. Sidinga ukungenelela kwangaphandle - ukuhlengwa. UNkulunkulu, uSomandla, uMoya oPhakade, weza ngokuzithoba emhlabeni, wazemboza ngenyama yomuntu, waba ukuphela kwesihlengo nomhlatshelo ongunaphakade osinikeza inkululeko ebugqilini bethu baphakade. Sifunda kumaHeberu - "Kepha sibona uJesu, owenziwa waba ngaphansana kwezingelosi, ukuthi ahlupheke ngokufa ethweswe umqhele nodumo, ukuze, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, angezwe ukufa komuntu wonke." (Heb. 2:9) Cabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu onothando nokhathalelayo sinaye ukuthi uzosophula - “Ngakho-ke njengoba abantwana sebehlanganyele enyameni nasegazini, naye uqobo wahlanganyela ngokufanayo, ukuze ngokufa amchithe onamandla okufa, okuwukuthi, uDeveli, futhi akhulule labo okwathi ngokwesaba ukufa impilo yabo yonke ibaphethwe yizigqila. ” (Heb. 2:14-15)
UPawulu wafundisa amaRoma iqiniso elibalulekile - "Ngoba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu." (Rom. 6:23Siyini isono? IWycliffe Bible Dictionary ikuchaza kanjena - “Isono yinoma yini ephikisana nesimo sikaNkulunkulu. Njengoba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ingukuvezwa kwesimo Sakhe, isono siyisifushane senkazimulo noma isimo sikaNkulunkulu. ” (I-Pfeiffer 1593) Kusuka KwabaseRoma 3: 23 sifunda iqiniso elibuhlungu langempela ngathi sonke - "Ngoba bonke bonile futhi bayasilela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu." Manje konke lokhu kuhlobene ngani Johane 15: 6? Kungani uJesu athi labo abangahlali kuYe bazophonswa baphonswe emlilweni? UJesu, emva kokufa nokuvuka kwakhe, wembulela umphostoli uJohane umbono olandelayo wesahlulelo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe (ukwahlulelwa kwalabo abenqaba isipho sikaJesu sokuhlengwa) - “Ngase ngibona isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe nalowo owayehleli kuwo, umhlaba nezulu abaleka ebusweni bakhe. Futhi ayitholakalanga indawo yabo. Futhi ngabona abafileyo, abancane nabakhulu, bemi phambi kukaNkulunkulu, kwavulwa nezincwadi. Kwavulwa nenye incwadi, eyiNcwadi yokuPhila. Futhi abafileyo bahlulelwa ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ngezinto ezazilotshwe ezincwadini. Ulwandle lwakhipha abafileyo ababekulo, nokufa kanye neHayidesi kwakhipha abafileyo ababekuyo. Bahlulelwa, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwabe sekufa kanye neHayidese kwaphonswa echibini lomlilo. Lokhu kungukufa kwesibili. Futhi noma ngubani ongatholakali ebhaliwe eNcwadini Yokuphila waphonswa echibini lomlilo. " (IsAm 20: 11-15Ukwenqaba kwabo lokho uKristu abenzele khona, kubashiya bemi phambi kukaNkulunkulu bencengela imisebenzi yabo ukuze bahlengwe. Ngeshwa, noma ngabe benze okuhle kangakanani empilweni, uma benqaba isipho somusa (inkokhelo ephelele yokuhlengwa okuphelele ngoJesu Kristu), balahla noma yiliphi ithemba lokuphila okuphakade. Kunalokho bakhetha ukufa kwesibili, noma ukwahlukana okuphakade noNkulunkulu. Ayohlala “echibini lomlilo” kuze kube phakade. UJesu wakhuluma ngalokhu kwehlukana ngenkathi etshela abaFarisi ababezibona belungile, ababezama ukuzithethelela phambi kukaNkulunkulu - Ngiyahamba, niyakungifuna, nifele esonweni senu; Lapho ngiya khona ungeze… Wena uvela phansi; Mina ngingowaphezulu. Nina ningabomhlaba; Angiyena owalomhlaba. Ngakho-ke ngathi kini nizakufela ezonweni zenu; ngoba uma lingakholwa ukuthi nginguye, lizafela ezonweni zenu. (Johane 8: 21-24)
UJesu wathi ngaphambi kokuba afe - “Kufeziwe.” Ukuhlengwa kwethu kwaphakade kuqediwe. Sidinga nje ukukwamukela ngokukholwa kulokho uJesu asenzela khona. Uma singakwamukeli, futhi siqhubeke nokulandela insindiso yethu, noma silandele izimfundiso ezibulalayo ngokomoya zikaJoseph Smith, uMuhammad, noma abanye abafundisi bamanga abaningi, ngokuzikhethela kwethu singakhetha ukufa kwaphakade. Ufuna ukuchitha kuphi ingunaphakade lakho? Namuhla usuku lwensindiso, awungezi yini kuJesu, unikele ngempilo yakho Kuye uphile!
