UJesu ungumpristi omkhulu waphakade futhi uyisiqinisekiso sesivumelwano esingcono!
Umbhali wamaHeberu uyaqhubeka nokuveza ukuthi ubupristi uJesu anabo bungcono kangakanani - “Futhi njengoba Enziwe waba ngumpristi ngaphandle kwesifungo (ngoba sebengabapristi ngaphandle kwesifungo, kepha Yena ngesifungo Ngalowo owathi kuye: 'INkosi ifungile futhi ayisoze yazisola,' Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokohlelo lukaMelkisedeki '), uJesu waba yisiqiniseko sesivumelwano esingcono kakhulu. Futhi kwakukhona abapristi abaningi, ngoba babevinjelwe ukufa ukuqhubeka. Kepha yena, ngenxa yokuthi uhlala phakade, unobupristi obungenakuguquka; Ngakho-ke uyakwazi futhi nokusindisa ngokuphelele labo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, ngoba uhlala ephila ukuze abakhulumele. ” (Heberu 7: 20-25)
Eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu, uDavid wabhala Tihlabelelo 110: 4 - “INkosi ifungile, ayiyikuguquka, ithi: 'Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokohlelo lukaMelkisedeki.'” Ngakho-ke, ubupristi obuphethwe nguJesu buqinisekiswe isifungo sikaNkulunkulu eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaJesu. UMelkisedeki, okusho ukuthi 'inkosi yokulunga' wayengumpristi futhi eyinkosi phezu kweJerusalema lasendulo noma iSalema. UKristu ekugcineni uzoba yinkosi nompristi wokugcina futhi omkhulu kunabo bonke emlandweni wakwa-Israyeli.
UJesu uyisiqinisekiso noma isiqiniseko sesivumelwano esisha sensindiso. IMacArthur ithi - “Ngokuphambene neSivumelwano SikaMose u-Israyeli ahluleka ngaphansi kwaso, uNkulunkulu wathembisa Isivumelwano Esisha esinamandla angokomoya, asemoyeni lapho labo abamaziyo babezobamba iqhaza ezibusisweni zensindiso. Lokhu kugcwaliseka bekukwabantu ngabanye, kepha futhi kwa-Israyeli njengesizwe ngohlaka lokwakhiwa kabusha ezweni labo esikhathini ngemuva kobunzima obukhulu. Ngokomthetho, lesi sivumelwano, esamenyezelwa futhi nguJesu Kristu, siqala ukusetshenziswa ngezinto ezingokomoya ezitholwe kumakholwa angamaJuda nawabeZizwe ngenkathi yesonto. Sekuvele kuqale ukusebenza 'ngensali,' ekhethwe ngomusa. Kuzophinde kufezwe ngabantu bakwa-Israyeli ezinsukwini zokugcina, kubandakanya nokuqoqwa kabusha ezweni labo lasendulo, iPalestine. Imifudlana ye-Abrahamic, Davidic, neNew Covenants ithola ukuhlangana kwayo embusweni weminyaka eyinkulungwane owawubuswa nguMesiya. ” (IMacArthur 1080)
Isimangalo ukuthi kwakukhona abapristi abaphakeme abangama-84 abavela ku-Aaron ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuze kube yilapho ithempeli libhujiswa ngo-70 AD ngamaRoma. Laba bapristi babefana 'nezithunzi' zompristi ongcono ozayo - uJesu Kristu. Njengamakholwa namuhla, singubupristi bokomoya, obukwazi ukungena ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu futhi sincengele abanye. Sifunda ku-1 Peter - “Niza kuye njengetshe eliphilayo, elaliwa impela ngabantu, kepha likhethwe nguNkulunkulu futhi liyigugu, nani njengamatshe aphilayo, niyakhiwa nibe yindlu yomoya, ubupristi obungcwele, ukunikela ngemihlatshelo yokomoya eyamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu UJesu Kristu." (1 Phetro 2: 4-5)
UJesu uyakwazi ukusisindisa 'kuze kube sekugcineni.' UJude usifundisa - “Kulowo okwaziyo ukukugcina ungakhubeki, futhi akwethule ungenaphutha phambi kobuso benkazimulo yakhe ngokuthokoza okukhulu, kuye uNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu, okunguye yedwa ohlakaniphileyo, makube yinkazimulo nobukhosi, ukubusa namandla, kokubili manje naku ingunaphakade. Amen. ” (UJude 24-25) Sifunda kumaRoma - “Ngubani olahlayo? NguKristu owafa, futhi futhi uvukile futhi, ongakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, futhi osikhulumelayo. ” (KwabaseRoma 8: 34)
Njengamakholwa la mazwi avela kwabaseRoma ayaduduza - “Ngubani ozosihlukanisa nothando lukaKristu? Ngabe usizi, noma usizi, noma ukuzingelwa, noma indlala, noma ukuhamba ze, noma ingozi, noma inkemba, na? Njengoba kulotshiwe: 'Ngenxa yakho sibulawa usuku lonke; sibalwe njengezimvu zokuhlatshwa. ' Kepha kuzo zonke lezi zinto singabanqobi ngaphezu kwakhe owasithandayo. Ngoba ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi nakufa, noma kuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, namandla, nakho okukhona, noma okuzayo, noma ukuphakama, nokujula, nanoma yini enye edaliwe, ngeke ikwazi ukusihlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukulo. UKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. ” (AmaRoma 8: 35-39)
