IBhayibhile: Kutheni le nto uThixo wayefuna ukuba kubingelelwe ngoIsake?
Umbuzo: Kutheni le nto uThixo wayalela uAbraham ukuba abingelele ngoIsake? Ngaba iNkosi yayingazi ukuba izakwenza ntoni?
Impendulo: Ngokufutshane, ngaphambi kokuba uphendule umbuzo wakho ngedini likaIsake, kufuneka siphawule inkalo ebalulekileyo yomntu ogqibeleleyo kaThixo. Ngamaxesha amaninzi, izizathu zakho kunye nezizathu zokwenza isenzo esithile (okanye ukungasenzi) azidibananga nabantu abaza kuba nazo.
Kuba uThixo unamandla onke, Mdali walo lonke ulwazi (Isaya 55: 8) .Iingcamango zakhe zikhulu kunezethu. Ngokuphathelele idini likaIsake, kufuneka silumke singabi nokugweba uThixo ngokusekelwe kwimilinganiselo yethu elungileyo nengalunganga.
Umzekelo, ngokwembono engqongqo yomntu (ongenguye owamaKrestu), umbingelelo kayise kaIsake mhlawumbi uhlasela uninzi lwabantu njengolungenamsebenzi kokulungileyo nangokubi. Isizathu esanikwa uAbraham sokuba kutheni emele ukusebenzisa isohlwayo sokufa kunyana wakhe yayingeso isohlwayo sesono esinzulu awayesenzile. Endaweni yokuba ayalelwe ukuba athabathe obakhe ubomi njengomnikelo eNkosini (iGenesis 22: 2).
Ukufa lutshaba olukhulu lomntu (1 kwabaseKorinte 15:54 - 56) kuba, ngokwembono yomntu, kunenjongo esingenako ukuyoyisa. Sikholisa ukuyifumana intiyo ingakumbi xa, njengoko kwabonakala kwimeko kaIsake, ubomi bomntu buphazanyiswa zizenzo zabanye. Esi sesinye sezizathu zokuba uninzi loluntu bohlwaye ngokuqatha abo babulalayo kwaye bavumela ukubulawa kwabantu kwiimeko ezizodwa (umzekelo, imfazwe, ukohlwaywa kolunye ulwaphulo-mthetho olubi, njl.njl.).
IGenesis 22 ichaza uvavanyo lokholo luka-Abraham xa eyalelwa buqu ukuba abingelele ngo “u-Nyana okuphela kwakhe” ngo-Isake (iGenesis 22: 1-2). Uxelelwe ukuba enze umnikelo kwiNtaba yeMoriya. Njengenqaku elithandekayo, ngokwesiko loorabhi, eli dini labangela ukufa kukaSara. Bakholelwa ukuba wasweleka, emva kokuba u-Abraham emkile waya eMoriya, xa wafumanisa iinjongo zomyeni wakhe. Kodwa ke, iBhayibhile ayiyixhasi le ngcamango.
Ukufika kwiNtaba yeMoriya apho kuya kubakho idini, uAbraham wenza onke amalungiselelo ayimfuneko okunikela ngonyana wakhe kuNaphakade. Wenza isibingelelo, wambopha uIsake wambeka kwimfumba yeenkuni. Njengoko ephakamisa imela ukuthatha ubomi bonyana wakhe, kuvela ingelosi.
Umthunywa kaThixo akapheleli nje ekumiseni ukufa kodwa ukwasityhilela ukuba kwakutheni ukuze umbingelelo ufune. Uthethela iNkosi, uthi, "Musa ukubeka sandla enkwenkweni… kuba ngoku ndiyazi ukuba uyamoyika uThixo, kuba awundifihlanga kum ndedwa unyana wakho," (iGenesis 22:12).
Nangona uThixo esazi "isiphelo kwasekuqaleni" (u-Isaya 46: 10), oku akuthethi ukuba wayesazi i-100% into eyayiza kwenziwa ngu-Abraham ngokunxulumene no-Isake. Ihlala isivumela ukuba sizikhethele, esinokuthi siyitshintshe nanini na.
Nangona uThixo wayeyazi into u-Abraham awayenokukwazi ukuyenza, kwakusafuneka amvavanye ukuze afumanise ukuba angamlandela na kwaye amthobele na nangona wayemthanda unyana okuphela kwakhe. Konke oku kusibonisa isenzo sokungazingci uYise awayeza kusenza, kwiminyaka engamawaka amabini kamva, xa wakhetha ngokuzithandela ukunikela ngoNyana okuphela kwakhe, uYesu Kristu, njengedini elingenasono ngenxa yothando lwakhe olumangalisayo kuthi.
UAbraham wayenokholo lokudela uIsake ukuba kuyimfuneko kuba wayeqonda ukuba uThixo unamandla okumvusa kwabafileyo (KumaHebhere 11:19). Zonke iintsikelelo ezinkulu eziza kuthi zehlele inzala yakhe kunye nehlabathi liphela zenziwa ukuba zibekho ngalo mboniso ubalaseleyo wokholo (iGenesis 22:17-18).
