Ingabe uyenze lukhuni inhliziyo yakho, noma uyakholelwa?
Umbhali wamaHeberu wawatshela ngesibindi amaHeberu "Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi Lakhe, ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengasekuvukeleni." Wabe eselandela imibuzo eminingi - “Ngoba ngubani, lapho ezwile, wahlubuka? Ngempela, kwakungebona bonke abaphuma eGibhithe, beholwa nguMose? Yayithukuthelele bani iminyaka engamashumi amane na? Kwakungesibo labo abonayo, abazidumbu zabo zawela ehlane? Futhi wafunga kubani ukuthi ngeke bangene ekuphumuleni kwakhe, ngaphandle kwalabo abangalalelanga? ” (Heberu 3: 15-18Ube esephetha - "Ngakho siyabona ukuthi babengenakungena ngenxa yokungakholwa." (Heberu 3: 19)
UNkulunkulu wayetshele uMose - “… Ngikubonile nokukubona ukucindezelwa kwabantu bami abaseGibhithe, futhi ngikuzwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabaphathi babo, ngokuba ngiyalwazi usizi lwabo. Ngakho-ke ngehlile ukubakhulula esandleni sabaseGibhithe, nokubakhuphula kulelo zwe ngibayise ezweni elihle nelikhulu, ezweni eligeleza ubisi nezinyosi… ” (U-Eksodusi 3: 7-8)
Nokho, ngemva kokuba ama-Israyeli ekhululwe ebugqilini baseGibhithe, aqala ukukhononda. Bakhala ngokuthi amasosha kaFaro azobabulala; ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wahlukanisa uLwandle Olubomvu. Babengazi ukuthi bazophuzani; ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wabanikeza amanzi. Babecabanga ukuthi bazobulawa yindlala; ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wathumela imana ukuba badle. Babefuna inyama badle; ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu uthumele izigwaca.
UNkulunkulu watshela uMose eKadeshi Barineya - “Thumela amadoda ayohlola izwe laseKhanani engilinika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli…” (Izinombolo. 13: 2a) UMose wabe esetshela lawo madoda “… Khuphukela ngale ndlela ngaseningizimu, ukhuphukele ezintabeni, ubone ukuthi unjani umhlaba: ngabe abantu abahlala kuwo banamandla noma babuthakathaka, bambalwa noma baningi; noma ngabe izwe abahlala kulo lihle noma libi; noma ngabe amadolobha ahlala kuwo anjengamakamu noma izinqaba; noma ngabe umhlaba ucebile noma umpofu; nokuthi kukhona amahlathi lapho noma cha. Yiba nesibindi. Nilethe izithelo zomhlaba. ” (Izinombolo. 13: 17-20)
Kwakuyizwe elithelayo! Lapho befika esigodini sase-Eshikoli, bagawula igatsha ngesihluku esisodwa samagilebhisi, esasilikhulu kakhulu kwakudingeka sithwalwe esigxotsheni ngamadoda amabili.
Izinhloli zabika kuMose ukuthi abantu bezwe banamandla, nemizi ibiyelwe futhi inkulu. UKalebi uphakamise ama-Israyeli ukuthi bakhuphuke ngokushesha badle izwe, kepha ezinye izinhloli zathi, 'asikwazi ukukhuphuka silwe nabantu, ngoba banamandla kunathi.' Batshela abantu ukuthi izwe laliyizwe 'elishwabadela abakhileyo kulo,' nokuthi amanye amadoda ayemidondoshiya.
Engakholwa, ama-Israyeli akhononda kuMose no-Aroni - “Ukube nje sasifele ezweni laseGibhithe! Noma ukube besifele kuleli hlane! Kungani iNkosi isilethe kuleli zwe ukuba siwe ngenkemba, ukuze omkethu nezingane babe yizisulu na? Bekungeke yini kube ngcono ngathi ukuthi sibuyele eGibhithe? ” (Izinombolo. 14: 2b-3)
Babebonile ukuhlinzekwa kukaNkulunkulu okuqhubekayo kubo ngemuva kokukhishwa ebugqilini baseGibhithe kodwa babengakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angabayisa ngokuphepha eZweni Lesithembiso.
Njengoba nje ama-Israyeli ayengakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angawaholela ngokuphepha eZweni Lesithembiso, nathi siziholela ephakade ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu uma singakholelwa ukuthi umhlatshelo kaJesu wenele ukufanelekela ukuhlengwa kwethu kwaphakade.
UPawulu wabhala kwabaseRoma - “Bazalwane, isifiso senhliziyo yami nomkhuleko wami kuNkulunkulu ngo-Israyeli ngukuthi basindiswe. Ngoba ngiyabafakazela ukuthi banentshiseko ngoNkulunkulu, kodwa hhayi ngokolwazi. Ngokuba bengazi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, befuna ukumisa okwabo ukulunga, abazithoba ekulungeni kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uKristu uyisiphetho somthetho ekulungeni kubo bonke abakholwayo. Ngokuba uMose ubhala ngokulunga okungokomthetho, ukuthi: Umuntu ozenzayo lezo zinto uyakuphila ngazo. Kodwa ukulunga kokholo kukhuluma ngale ndlela, 'Ungasho enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi, Ngubani oyakukhuphukela ezulwini?' (okungukuthi ukwehlisa uKristu phezulu) noma, 'Ngubani ozokwehlela kwalasha na?' okungukuthi ukukhuphula uKristu kwabafileyo. Kodwa lithini? Leli gama liseduze kwakho, lisemlonyeni wakho nasenhliziyweni yakho '(okusho ukuthi, izwi lokholo esilishumayelayo): ukuthi uma uvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uyiNkosi uJesu futhi ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu umvusile kwabafileyo , uzosindiswa. Ngoba ngenhliziyo umuntu ukholwa kube ngukulunga, futhi ngomlomo uyavuma kube ngukusindiswa. Ngoba umbhalo uthi, 'Lowo okholwa kuye ngeke ajabhiswe.' Ngoba akukho mehluko phakathi komJuda nomGrikhi, ngoba iNkosi efanayo phezu kwakho konke icebile kubo bonke abayibizayo. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa. ” (AmaRoma 10: 1-13)
