Ukuzinikela kwanamhlanje: IPentekosti, into ekufuneka uyazi kunye nesicelo sokuthetha
Ukuba ubuyela emva kwaye ufunde iTestamente Endala, uya kufumanisa ukuba iPentekosti yayiyenye yeholide yamaJuda. Kuphela nje abayibizi ngokuba yiPentekosti. Eli ligama lesiGrike. AmaYuda awubiza ngokuba ngumthendeleko wokuvuna okanye umthendeleko weeveki. Iindawo ezintlanu zikhankanyiwe kwiincwadi zokuqala ezintlanu: iEksodus 23, iEksodus 24, iLevitikus 16, iNumeri 28 neDuteronomi. Yayingumbhiyozo wokuqala weveki yokuqala yokuvunwa. EPalestina zazimbini izityalo minyaka le. Ukuqokelelwa kwangoko kwenzeka phakathi ngeenyanga zikaMeyi noJuni; isivuno sokugqibela sifike ekwindla. IPentekosti yayingumbhiyozo wokuqalisa kokuvunwa kwengqolowa, oko kuthetha ukuba iPentekosti ihlala iwela phakathi kuMeyi okanye ngamanye amaxesha ekuqaleni kukaJuni.
Kukho imibhiyozo eliqela, imibhiyozo okanye imibhiyozo ethe yenzeka ngaphambi kwePentekosti. Kwakukho i-Ista, kukho isonka esingenagwele kwaye kukho umthendeleko wentlahlela. Umthendeleko wentlahlela yamandulo yayingumbhiyozo wokuqalisa kokuvunwa kwerhasi. Nantsi indlela oyiqonde ngayo umhla wePentekosti. NgokweTestamente Endala, ungahamba ngomhla wokubhiyozelwa kolibo kwaye, ukusukela ngala mhla, ngewubalile iintsuku ezingama-50. Umhla wamashumi amahlanu iyakuba ngumhla wePentekosti. Ke iziqhamo zokuqala sisiqalo sokuvunwa kwerhasi kunye nePentekosti ukubhiyozelwa kokuqala kokuvunwa kwengqolowa. Kuba ihlala iintsuku ezingama-50 emva kweziqhamo zokuqala, kwaye iintsuku ezingama-50 zilingana neeveki ezisixhenxe, "iveki yeeveki" ihlala ifika kamva. Ke ngoko, bawubiza ngokuba nguMthendeleko Wokuvuna okanye iVeki yeVeki.
Kutheni le nto iPentekosti ibalulekile kubuKristu?
AmaKhristu anamhlanje ajonga iPentekosti njengomthendeleko, hayi ukubhiyozela isivuno sengqolowa, kodwa ukukhumbula xa uMoya oyiNgcwele wangena kwiCawe kwiZenzo 2.
1. UMoya oyiNgcwele wazalisa ibandla ngamandla kwaye wongeza abangama-3.000 abakholwayo.
Kumthetho 2 uxela ukuba emva kokuba uYesu enyukele ezulwini, abalandeli bakaYesu bahlanganisana kuMthendeleko Wokuvunwa kweediliya (okanye iPentekosti), kwaye noMoya oyiNgcwele "wazalisa indlu yonke ababehleli kuyo" (Izenzo 2: 2) ). "Bonke bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baqala ukuthetha ngalwimi zimbi, njengoko uMoya wayebanika ukuba bathethe" (Izenzo 2: 4). Esi siganeko singaqhelekanga satsala isihlwele esikhulu kwaye uPetros wema ukuze athethe nabo malunga nenguquko nangevangeli kaKristu (Izenzo 2: 14). Ekupheleni kosuku kufike uMoya oyiNgcwele, iBandla lakhula ngabantu abangama-3.000 (Izenzo 2: 41). Yiyo loo nto ke amaKristu esayibhiyozela iPentekosti.
UMoya oyiNgcwele waprofetwa kwiTestamente eNdala kwaye wathenjiswa nguYesu.
UYesu wathembisa uMoya oyiNgcwele kuYohane 14: 26, oza kuba ngumncedisi wabantu bakhe.
Kodwa uMncedisi, uMoya oyiNgcwele, lowo uBawo aya kumthumela egameni lam, uya kunifundisa yonke into kwaye anikhumbuze konke endikuthethileyo kuni.
Lo msitho weTestamente eNtsha ubalulekile kuba uzalisekisa isiprofetho seTestamente Endala kuYoweli 2: 28-29.
Emveni koko, ndiya kuthulula uMoya wam kubo bonke abantu. Oonyana bakho kunye neentombi zakho ziya kuprofeta, amadoda amakhulu akho aphuphe amaphupha, abantu bakho abatsha babone imibono. Kwanaphezu kwabakhonzi bam, amadoda nabafazi, ndiya kuthulula uMoya wam ngaloo mihla.
