UJesu usezulwini namuhla uyasilwela…
Umbhali wamaHeberu ukhanyisa umhlatshelo kaJesu 'ongcono' - “Ngakho-ke kwakudingekile ukuthi amakhophi ezinto ezisezulwini ahlanzwe ngalezi, kodwa izinto zasezulwini uqobo zihlanjululwa ngemihlatshelo engcono kunalena. Ngoba uKristu akangenanga ezindaweni ezingcwele ezenziwe ngezandla, eziyimifanekiso yeqiniso, kodwa ungene ezulwini uqobo, manje ukubonakala ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yethu; hhayi ukuthi kufanele azinikele kaningi, njengoba umpristi ophakeme engena eNgcwelengcwele minyaka yonke ngegazi lowomunye umuntu - kwakumele ukuthi ahlupheke kaningi selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba; kepha manje, kanye ekupheleni kweminyaka, ubonakele esusa isono ngokuzinikela kwakhe. Futhi njengoba kumiselwe ukuba abantu bafe kanye, kepha emva kwalokhu ukwahlulelwa, kanjalo noKristu wanikelwa kanye ukuthwala izono zabaningi. Kulabo abamlindele ngokulangazela uzovela ngokwesibili, ngaphandle kwesono, kube insindiso. ” (Heberu 9: 23-28)
Sifunda kuLevitikusi okwenzeka ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala noma iTestamente Elidala - “Umpristi ogcotshiweyo owahlukaniselwa ukukhonza njengompristi esikhundleni sikayise uyakuhlawulela, agqoke izingubo zelineni, izingubo ezingcwele; khona-ke uyakwenzela indawo engcwele ukubuyisana, enzele netabernakele lokuhlangana ne-altare ukubuyisana, enzele abapristi nabo bonke abantu bebandla ukubuyisana. Lokhu kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kini ukwenzela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukubuyisana, ngenxa yezono zabo zonke, kube kanye ngonyaka. Wenza njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose. ” (Levitikusi 16: 32-34)
Mayelana negama 'ukubuyisana,' kubhala uScofield “Ukusetshenziswa kweBhayibheli nencazelo yalo kufanele kwehlukaniswe kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwalo kwezenkolo. Kwezenkolo kuyigama elihlanganisa wonke umsebenzi kaKristu wokuzidela nokuhlenga. Ku-OT, ukubuyisana futhi igama lesiNgisi elisetshenziselwa ukuhumusha amagama esiHeberu asho ukumboza, ukumboza, noma ukumboza. Ukubuyisana ngalo mqondo kwehlukile kumqondo wenkolo kuphela. Iminikelo yamaLevi 'yayimboza' izono zakwa-Israyeli kuze kube futhi kulindelwe isiphambano, kepha azizange 'zisuse' lezo zono. Lezi kwakuyizono ezazenziwa ngezikhathi ze-OT, uNkulunkulu 'azidlulisa', okwedlula ngazo ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu akuzange kuqinisekiswe kuze kube, esiphambanweni, uJesu Kristu 'wabekwa njengenhlawulo.' Kwakuyisiphambano, hhayi imihlatshelo yamaLevi, esenza ukuhlengwa okugcwele nokuphelele. Imihlatshelo ye-OT yenza uNkulunkulu akwazi ukuqhubeka nabantu abanecala ngoba leyo minikelo yayifanekisela isiphambano. Kumuntu owayezinikela kwakungukuvuma ukufa kwakhe okumfanele nokuvezwa kokholo lwakhe; kuNkulunkulu 'babeyizithunzi' zezinto ezinhle ezazizokuza, okuyiqiniso ngoKristu. ” (IScofield 174)
UJesu ungene ezulwini futhi manje unguMlamuleli wethu - “Ngakho-ke uyakwazi futhi ukusindisa ngokuphelele labo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, ngoba uhlala ephila ukuze abakhulumele. Ngoba umPristi Ophakeme onjalo wayesifanele thina, ongcwele, ongenabungozi, ongenabala, ohlukile ezonweni, futhi osephakeme ngaphezu kwamazulu. ” (Heberu 7: 25-26)
UJesu usebenza kithi ngaphakathi nangaphandle ngoMoya wakhe oNgcwele - “Kakhulu kangakanani igazi likaKristu, owathi ngoMoya waphakade wazinikela engenabala kuNkulunkulu, lihlambulule kakhulu unembeza wakho emisebenzini efile ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ophilayo?” (Heberu 9: 14)
Isono sokuqala silethe ukuwohloka kokuziphatha kuso sonke isintu. Kunendlela eyodwa yokuphila ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ingunaphakade, lokho kungokufaneleka kukaJesu Kristu. AmaRoma asifundisa - “Ngakho-ke njengalokhu isono sangena ngamuntu munye, nokufa kwangena ngesono, futhi kanjalo ukufa kwasakazekela kubantu bonke, ngoba bonke bonile - (ngokuba kuze kube ngumthetho isono sisezweni, kepha isono asibalelwa kungekho Kepha ukufa kwabusa kusukela ku-Adamu kuze kufike kuMose, naphezu kwalabo ababengonanga ngokufana nesiphambeko sika-Adamu, oyisifanekiso salowo owayezakufika. ngokona komuntu oyedwa abaningi bafa, ikakhulu umusa kaNkulunkulu nesipho ngomusa woMuntu munye, uJesu Kristu, kwanda kwabaningi. ” (AmaRoma 5: 12-15)
