Uthini uYesu neBhayibhile ngokuhlawula iirhafu?
Rhoqo ngonyaka ngexesha lerhafu kuphakama le mibuzo: Ngaba uYesu wahlawula irhafu? UYesu wabafundisa ntoni abafundi bakhe ngerhafu? Ithini yona iBhayibhile ngerhafu?
Ukuwufundisisa ngenyameko lo mbandela kutyhila ukuba isiBhalo sicacile ngalo mbandela. Ngelixa sisenokungavumelani nendlela urhulumente ayisebenzisa ngayo imali yethu, uxanduva lwethu njengamaKristu luchaziwe eBhayibhileni. Kufuneka sihlawule iirhafu zethu kwaye sikwenze ngokunyaniseka.
Ngaba uYesu Wayihlawula Irhafu eBhayibhileni?
KuMateyu 17: 24-27 sifunda ukuba uYesu uyihlawule iirhafu zakhe:
Emva kokuba uYesu nabafundi bakhe befike eKapernahum, abaqokeleli berhafu kwidrarhma ephindwe kabini baya kuPetros bambuza, "Ngaba umfundisi wenu akayikhuphi irhafu yetempile?"
“Ewe iyasebenza,” uphendule watsho.
Ukungena kukaPetros endlwini, uYesu wayengowokuqala ukuthetha. "Ucinga ntoni, Simon?" iicawa. "Ookumkani behlabathi basiqokelela kubani irhafu nomrhumo kubantwana babo okanye kwabanye?"
Waphendula ke uPetros wathi kuye, Kwabanye.
UYesu wathi kuye: “Bakhululekile ke abantwana.” Kodwa ukuze ungabakhubekisi, yiya edikeni, uphose umgca wakho. Fumana intlanzi yokuqala oyibambisileyo; Xa uvula umlomo wayo, uza kufumana iingqekembe ezine zedrarhma. Yithathe ubanike, ubenzele irhafu. (NIV)
Iincwadi zeVangeli zikaMateyu, uMarko kunye noLuka nganye zichaza enye ibali, xa abaFarisi bazama ukumbamba uYesu ngamazwi akhe kwaye bafumana isizathu sokummangalela. KuMateyu 22: 15-22 sifunda oku:
Baphuma abaFarisi, benza iyelenqe ngaye. Bathumela kuye abafundi babo benamaHerode. Sathi: “Mhlekazi, siyazi ukuba uyindoda egqibeleleyo, yaye ufundisa indlela kaThixo ngenyaniso. Awuphenjelelwa ngabantu, kuba awubahoyi abo bangabo. Luthini uluvo lwakho? Ngaba kufanelekile ukuhlawula irhafu kuKesare okanye akunjalo? "
Ekwazi ke oko uYesu, wathi kubo, bahanahanisindini, nindifunela ntoni na? Ndibonise imali esetyenziselwa ukuhlawula irhafu ”. Bamzisela idenariyo baza bababuza besithi: “Ngumfanekiso kabani na lo? Kwaye ibhalwe ngokabani? "
Baphendula bathi, Kesare.
Athi kubo, Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo.
Bakuva bamangaliswa, Bamshiya ke bemka. (NIV)
Esi siganeko sikwabhalwa kuMarko 12: 13-17 nakuLuka 20: 20-26.
Thumela kwabasemagunyeni kuRhulumente
Abantu babekhalaza ngokuhlawula iirhafu nangemihla ka Yesu.Ubukhosi base Roma, obaboyisile u-Israyeli, babeka uxanduva olukhulu ekuhlawuleni umkhosi, indlela, iinkundla, iitempile koothixo base Roma kunye nobutyebi. Nangona kunjalo, iincwadi zeVangeli zishiya ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ukuba uYesu wafundisa abalandeli bakhe kungekuphela nje ngomlomo, kodwa nangomzekelo, ukuhlawula zonke iirhafu kurhulumente.
KumaRoma 13: 1, uPawulos uzisa enye ingcaciso kule ngcamango, kunye noxanduva olubanzi kumaKristu:
"Wonke umntu makathobele abasemagunyeni, kuba akukho gunya limbi ngaphandle kwala elenziwe nguThixo. Amagunya akhoyo ngoku amiselwe nguThixo." (NIV)
Kule vesi sinokugqiba ukuba ukuba asihlawuli rhafu, sivukela amagunya kaThixo amiselweyo.
AmaRoma 13: 2 inika esi silumkiso:
"Ngenxa yoko abo bavukela igunya bavukela oko kumiselwe nguThixo kwaye abo benzayo baya kuzizisela isigwebo." (NIV)
Ngokumalunga nokuhlawulwa kweerhafu, uPawulos akanakukwenza oku kucace gca kunokuba wayenjalo kwabaseRoma 13: 5-7:
Ke ngoko, kufuneka ungenise kwabasemagunyeni, hayi kuphela ngenxa yokohlwaywa okunokwenzeka, kodwa nangenxa yesazela. Kungenxa yeso sizathu le nto uhlawula irhafu, kuba abasemagunyeni bangabakhonzi bakaThixo, abo bachitha lonke ixesha labo kurhulumente. Nika wonke umntu ityala lakho: Ukuba uhlawula irhafu, hlawula irhafu; ukuba uyangena, ngena ke ungene; ukuba ndiyahlonela, ndiyayihlonipha; imbeko yimbeko. (NIV)
UPeter ufundise nokuba amakholwa kufuneka athobele abasemagunyeni bakarhulumente:
Ngenxa yeNkosi, zithobele kuwo onke amagunya abantu, nokuba ngukumkani oyintloko yelizwe okanye ngamagosa amiselweyo. Ngokuba ukumkani ubathume ukuba bohlwaye abenzi bokubi, ababeke abenzi bokulungileyo.
Yintando kaThixo ukuba ubomi bakho obubekekileyo bubathulise abo bantu bangazi nto nabenza izityholo zobudenge nxamnye nawe. Kuba ukhululekile, kodwa ulikhoboka likaThixo; sukuyisebenzisa inkululeko yakho; (1 Petros 2: 13-16, NLT)
Kulungile nini ukungayi kurhulumente?
Ibhayibhile ifundisa amakholwa ukuba athobele urhulumente kodwa ikwaveza umthetho ophakamileyo: umthetho kaThixo. KwiZenzo 5:29, uPetros nabapostile baxelela abasemagunyeni amaJuda: "Simelwe kukuthi sive uThixo kunaye naliphi na igunya lomntu." (NLT)
Xa imithetho emiselwe ngabasemagunyeni ingqubana nomthetho kaThixo, amakholwa azifumana ekwimeko enzima. UDaniel wawaphula ngabom umthetho welizwe xa eguqa phambi kweJerusalem wathandaza kuThixo.Ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, amaKristu afana noCorrie ten Boom aphula umthetho eJamani ngokufihla amaJuda amsulwa kumaNazi angababulali.
Ewe, ngamanye amaxesha amakholwa kufuneka athathe isibindi sokuthobela uThixo ngokwaphula umthetho welizwe. Kodwa ukuhlawula irhafu alikho elinye lala maxesha. Ngelixa kuyinyani ukuba ukuxhatshazwa kukarhulumente norhwaphilizo kwinkqubo yethu yangoku yerhafu zizinto ezixhalabisayo, oko akuwaniki amaKristu ithuba lokuzithoba kurhulumente ngokwemiyalelo yeBhayibhile.
Njengabemi, sinako kwaye kufuneka sisebenze ngaphakathi komthetho ukutshintsha izinto ezingezizo ezeBhayibhile kwinkqubo yethu yangoku yerhafu. Singaxhakamfula onke amanyathelo asemthethweni kunye nokunyaniseka kweendlela zokuhlawula ubuncinci beerhafu. Kodwa asinakulihoya iLizwi likaThixo, elisixelela ngokucacileyo ukuba kufuneka sithobele abasemagunyeni malunga nokuhlawulwa kweerhafu.
Isifundo esivela kubaqokeleli berhafu ababini eBhayibhileni
Iirhafu zaziqhutywa ngendlela eyahlukileyo ngomhla kaYesu .. Endaweni yokwenza intlawulo kwi-IRS, uhlawule ngqo kumqokeleli werhafu, owathi ngokugqwetha wagqiba ngento oza kuyihlawula. Abaqokeleli berhafu abafumani mvuzo. Bafumene umvuzo wabo ngokuhlawula abantu ngaphezulu. Aba bantu babedla ngokungcatsha abantu bedolophu kwaye bengakhathali nokuba bacinga ntoni.
ULevi, owaba ngumpostile uMateyu, wayeligosa lokungenisa elizweni laseKapernahum elarhafisa ukungenisa elizweni kunye nokuthumela kwelinye ilizwe ngokusekelwe kwisigwebo sakhe. AmaJuda ayemcaphukela kuba wayesebenzela iRoma kwaye engcatsha abantu belizwe lakhe.
UZakeyu wayengomnye umbuthi werhafu okhankanywe ngegama kwiincwadi zeVangeli. Umqokeleli omkhulu werhafu kwisithili saseYeriko, wayesaziwa ngokunganyaniseki. UZakeyu wayeyindoda emfutshane eyathi ngenye imini yasilibala isidima sayo yaza yenyuka emthini ukuze ikwazi ukumbona kakuhle uYesu waseNazarete.
Njengokuba babebhedile aba baqokeleli berhafu babini, isifundo esibalulekileyo sivela kumabali abo aseBhayibhileni. Akukho namnye kula madoda anyolukileyo owayekukhathalele iindleko zokuthobela uYesu. Xa bedibana noMsindisi, balandela ngokulula kwaye u Yesu wabuguqula ubomi babo ngonaphakade.
UYesu usabutshintsha ubomi nanamhlanje. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba senze ntoni okanye silonakalise njani igama lethu, sinokuxolelwa nguThixo.
