Kuthiwani ngokungena endleleni entsha nephilayo ngokufaneleka kokulunga kukaNkulunkulu?
Umbhali wamaHeberu uzwakalisa isifiso sakhe sokuba abafundi bakhe bangene ezibusisweni zeSivumelwano Esisha— “Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, njengokuba sinethemba lokungena ezindaweni ezingcwele ngegazi likaJesu, ngendlela entsha nephilayo asivulele yona edabula ikhethini, okungukuthi ngenyama yakhe, sinompristi omkhulu phezu kwethu. endlini kaNkulunkulu, masisondele ngenhliziyo eqinisileyo ngesiqinisekiso esigcwele sokukholwa, izinhliziyo zethu zifafaziwe kunembeza omubi, nemizimba yethu igeziwe ngamanzi acwebileyo.” (Heberu 10: 19-22)
UMoya kaNkulunkulu ubiza bonke abantu ukuba beze esihlalweni Sakhe futhi bathole umusa ngalokho uJesu Kristu akwenzile. Lena enye yezinzuzo eziyinhloko zeSivumelwano Esisha esisekelwe emhlatshelweni kaJesu.
Umlobi wamaHeberu wayefuna abafowabo abangamaJuda bashiye isimiso samaLevi futhi baqaphele lokho uNkulunkulu ayebenzele kona ngoJesu Kristu. UPawulu wafundisa kwabase-Efesu— “Kuye sinokuhlengwa ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngokwengcebo yomusa wakhe asibekele wona, ngokuhlakanipha konke nokuqonda, esazisa imfihlakalo yentando yakhe ngokwecebo lakhe; awumisa kuKristu njengecebo lokuphelela kwesikhathi, ukuhlanganisa zonke izinto kuye, okusezulwini nezinto ezisemhlabeni.” (Funda eyabase-Efesu 1:7-10.)
Le ‘ndlela’ yayingekho ngaphansi komthetho kaMose, noma isimiso samaLevi. Ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Esidala, umphristi omkhulu kwakudingeka enze umhlatshelo wesilwane ngenxa yesono sakhe, kanye nemihlatshelo yezono zabantu. Inqubo kaLevi yayigcina abantu bekude noNkulunkulu, ayizange inikeze ukufinyelela okuqondile kuNkulunkulu. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, uNkulunkulu ‘wasibheka’ isono okwesikhashana, kwaze kwaba yilapho Lowo ongenasono efika wanikela ngokuphila Kwakhe.
Impilo kaJesu engenasono ayizange ivule umnyango wokuphila okuphakade; Ukufa kwakhe kwenzeka.
Uma sithembela ngandlela-thile emandleni ethu okujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngokulunga kwethu, bhekani lokho amaRoma asifundisa kona ngokulunga kukaNkulunkulu – “Kodwa manje ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu sekubonakalisiwe ngaphandle komthetho, nakuba uMthetho nabaProfethi kufakaza ngakho—ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kubo bonke abakholwayo. Ngokuba akukho-mehluko, ngokuba bonke bonile, basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, kuthiwe balungile ngomusa wakhe njengesipho, ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu, amphumisela uNkulunkulu ukuba abe-yinhlawulo ngegazi lakhe, wamukelwe ngokukholwa. Lokhu kwakuwukukhombisa ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba ekubekezeleni kwakhe kobuNkulunkulu wedlulile ezonweni zangaphambili. Kwakuwukuba abonakalise ukulunga kwakhe kulesi sikhathi samanje, ukuze abe ngolungileyo futhi amlungisise lowo onokholo kuJesu.” (Roma 3: 21-26)
Insindiso iza ngokukholwa kuphela, ngomusa wodwa, kuKristu kuphela.
