Ithini iBhayibhile ngokuba ngumfundi olungileyo kaYesu?
Ukuba ngumfundi, ngengqondo yobuKristu, kuthetha ukulandela uYesu Krestu. I-Baker Encyclopedia yeBhayibhile inika le nkcazo yomfundi: "Umntu olandela omnye umntu okanye enye indlela yobomi kwaye othobela uqeqesho (lokufundisa) lwenkokeli leyo okanye loo ndlela."
Yonke into ebandakanyekayo ekubeni ngumfundi ichaziwe eBhayibhileni, kodwa kwihlabathi lanamhlanje indlela leyo ayisiyondlwana iyanetha. Kuzo zonke iincwadi zeVangeli, uYesu uxelela abantu ukuba "bandilandele". Wayesamkelwa ngokubanzi njengenkokeli ngexesha lobulungiseleli bakhe ku-Israyeli wamandulo, nezihlwele ezazixinene zisiza kuva oko wayeza kukuthetha.
Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ngumfundi kaKristu kwakufuna okungaphezulu kunokumamela nje. Wayefundisa rhoqo kwaye enika imiyalelo ethile malunga nendlela yokwenza abafundi.
Thobela imiyalelo yam
UYesu akazange ayiphelise iMithetho Elishumi. Wachaza wazizalisekisa kuthi, kodwa wavuma noThixo uYise ukuba le mithetho ixabisekile. Ubesithi ngoko uYesu kuloo maYuda akholiweyo kuye, Ukuba nina nithe nahlala elizwini lam, noba ningabafundi bam, inyaniso. (Yohane 8:31, NIV)
Ubuye ngokufundisa ukuba uThixo uyaxolela kwaye utsala abantu kuye. UYesu wazazisa njengoMsindisi wehlabathi kwaye wathi nabani na okholwayo kuye uya kuba nobomi banaphakade. Abalandeli baka Krestu kufuneka bambeke kwindawo yokuqala ebomini babo ngaphezu kwayo yonke enye into.
Thandanani
Enye yeendlela abantu abawabona ngazo amaKristu yindlela abathandana ngayo, watsho njalo uYesu.Uthando lwalungumxholo oqhubekayo kuzo zonke iimfundiso zikaYesu.Ukunxibelelana nabanye, uKrestu waye umphilisi onemfesane kunye nomphulaphuli onyanisekileyo. Ngokuqinisekileyo uthando lwakhe lokwenene ngabantu lwalungowona mgangatho ubalaseleyo.
Ukuthanda abanye, ngakumbi ukungafikeleleki, ngowona mceli mngeni mkhulu kubafundi banamhlanje, ukanti uYesu uthi masikwenze oko. Ukungazithembi kunzima kangangokuba xa kusenziwa luthando, ngoko nangokohlulahlula amaKristu. U-Kristu ubiza abafundi bakhe ukuba baphathe abanye abantu ngembeko, uphawu olunqabileyo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje.
Uthwala isiqhamo esininzi
Kumazwi akhe okugqibela kubapostile bakhe ngaphambi kokubethelelwa kwakhe, uYesu wathi: "Oku kuzukisa uBawo, ukuba nithwale isiqhamo esininzi, nizibonakalise njengabafundi bam." (Yohane 15: 8, NIV)
Umfundi kaKrestu uphilela ukuzukisa uThixo.Ukuthwala isiqhamo esininzi okanye ukuphila ubomi obunemveliso sisiphumo sokuzinikela kuMoya oyiNgcwele. Esi siqhamo siquka ukukhonza abanye, ukwabelana ngeendaba ezilungileyo, kunye nokumisela umzekelo ongcwele. Rhoqo iziqhamo azizizo izenzo "zenkolo", kodwa kukukhathalela nje abantu apho umfundi asebenza njengobukho bukaKristu ebomini bomnye umntu.
Yenza abafundi
Kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yiKhomishini eNkulu, uYesu waxelela abalandeli bakhe ukuba "benze abafundi zonke iintlanga ..." (UMateyu 28:19, NIV)
Omnye wemisebenzi ephambili yokuba ngumfundi kukuzisa iindaba ezilungileyo zosindiso kwabanye. Oku akuthethi ukuba indoda okanye umfazi babe ngabathunywa bevangeli. Banokuxhasa imibutho yabathunywa bevangeli, banike ubungqina kwabanye ekuhlaleni okanye bameme abantu kwiicawe zabo. Icawe ka Krestu ngumzimba ophilayo kwaye ukhula odinga ukuthatha inxaxheba kuwo onke amalungu ukuze uhlale ubalulekile. Ukushumayela ivangeli lilungelo.
Zikhanye
Ukuba ngumfundi emzimbeni kaKrestu kufuna isibindi. "Emva koko (uYesu) wathi kubo bonke:" Ukuba umntu uza emva kwam, makazincame, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe yonke imihla, andilandele. "(Luka 9:23, NIV)
Imithetho elishumi ilumkisa amakholwa ngokuchasene nokuba dikidiki kuThixo, ngokuchasene nobundlobongela, inkanuko, ukubawa nokunganyaniseki. Ukuphila ngokuchasene neendlela zentlalo kungakhokelela kwintshutshiso, kodwa xa amaKristu ejongene nokuphathwa gadalala, anokuthembela kuncedo loMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze anyamezele. Namhlanje kunanini na ngaphambili, ukuba ngumfundi kaYesu kuxhomekeke kwinkcubeko. Yonke inkolo ibonakala inyamezelwe ngaphandle kobuKristu.
Abafundi abalishumi elinababini okanye abapostile bakaYesu baphila ngokulandela le mithetho kwaye nakwiminyaka yokuqala yecawa, bonke kodwa omnye wabulawa ngenxa yokholo. ITestamente eNtsha inika zonke iinkcukacha umntu azidingayo ukuba abe ngumfundi kuKristu.
Yintoni eyenza ubuKrestu bube bodwa kukuba abafundi bakaYesu waseNazarete balandela inkokeli enguThixo opheleleyo nongumntu opheleleyo. Bonke abanye abasunguli beenkonzo bafa, kodwa amaKristu akholelwa ukuba nguKrestu yedwa owafa, wavuka kwabafileyo kwaye usaphila namhlanje. NjengoNyana kaThixo, iimfundiso zakhe zazivela ngqo kuThixo uYise. UbuKristu bukuphela kwenkolo apho lonke uxanduva losindiso luxhomekeke kumsunguli, hayi kubalandeli.
Ukuba ngumfundi kuKristu kuqala emva kokuba umntu esindisiwe, hayi ngenkqubo yemisebenzi ukuze asindiswe. UYesu akafuni mfezeko. Ukulunga kwakhe kudweliswe kubalandeli bakhe, kubenza bamkeleke kuThixo nakwiindlalifa zobukumkani bamazulu.
