Ukuzinikela kwemini: kutheni uThixo evumela ukubandezeleka?
"Kutheni uThixo evumele ukubandezeleka?" Ndawubuza lo mbuzo njengempendulo ye-visceral kwintlungu endiyibonileyo, endikhe ndayiva okanye endayivayo. Ndabambana nombuzo xa umfazi wam wokuqala wandishiya ndashiya abantwana. Ndiphinde ndakhwaza xa umntakwethu elele phantsi ekhulelwe, esifa ngokugula okungaqondakaliyo, ukubandezeleka kwakhe kuxhuzula umama notata.
"Kutheni uThixo evumela ukubandezeleka okungaka?" Andazi impendulo.
Kodwa andazi ukuba amazwi kaYesu ngokubandezeleka athetha nam ngamandla. Emva kokucacisela abafundi bakhe ukuba intlungu yabo yokufudukela kwakhe sele iza kuvuya, uYesu wathi: “Sendinixelele ezi zinto, ukuze nibe noxolo kum. Kweli lizwe uya kuba neengxaki. Kodwa yenza isibindi! Mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi ”(Yohane 16: 33). Ndizomthatha na unyana kaThixo kwilizwi lakhe? Ndizothatha ntliziyo?
UNyana kaThixo wangena kulomhlaba waba ngumntu kwaye naye ngokwakhe wabandezeleka. Ngokufa emnqamlezweni, woyisa isono kwaye, ephuma engcwabeni woyisa ukufa. Sinokuqiniseka ngokubandezeleka: UYesu Krestu uloyisile eli lizwe kunye nobunzima balo, kwaye ngenye imini uya kususa zonke iintlungu nokufa, ukuzila nokulila (iSityhi. 21: 4).
Kutheni kukho le ntlungu? Buza uYesu
Kubonakala ngathi iBhayibhile ayibonisi mpendulo ichanekileyo kumbuzo wokuba kutheni uThixo evumele ukubandezeleka. Amanye amabali ngexesha lobomi bukaYesu, nangona kunjalo, asinika isikhokelo. Kanye njengokuba besikhuthaza, la mazwi kaYesu anokusenza sizive singonwabanga. Asizithandi izizathu ezanikelwa nguYesu ngenxa yeentlungu ezingqinwa ngabafundi bakhe; Sifuna ukukhupha umbono wokuba uThixo angazukiswa ngokubandezeleka komntu.
Umzekelo, abantu babezibuza ukuba kutheni umntu othile eyimfama kwasekuzalweni, ngoko babuza ukuba kungenxa yesono somntu othile. UYesu waphendula wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Akonanga lo mntu nabazali bakhe. . . kodwa oku kwenzekile ukuze imisebenzi kaThixo ibonakaliswe kuye "(Yohane 9: 1-3). La mazwi kaYesu andenza ukuba ndilwe. Ngaba le ndoda bekufanele ukuba iyimfama kwasekuzalweni ngenxa yokuba ilungile? Nangona kunjalo, xa uYesu wabuyisela ukubonwa komntu, wenza abantu ukuba balwe ukuba ungubani kanye kanye (Yohane 9: 16). Kwaye umntu owayefudula eyimfama 'wayenokubona ngokucacileyo' ukuba ngubani uYesu (Yohane 9: 35-38). Ngapha koko, nathi ngokwethu siyayibona "imisebenzi kaThixo .. . iboniswe kuye "kwanangoku njengoko sijonga ukubandezeleka kwale ndoda.
Kwixesha elincinci kamva, kwakhona uYesu ubonakalisa ukuba ukholo lungakhula njani ngenxa yobunzima bomntu. Ngo-Yohane 11, uLazaro uyagula kwaye oodade wabo bobabini, uMarta noMaria, banexhala ngaye. Emva kokuba uYesu eve ukuba uLazaro uyagula, "waya kuhlala apho ezinye iintsuku ezimbini" (ivesi 6). Ekugqibeleni, uYesu wathi kubafundi: “uLazaro ufile, kwaye ndiyavuya ukuba bendingekho, ukuze nikholwe. Kodwa masiye kuye ”(iivesi 14 - 15, kugxininiswa). Ukufika kukaYesu eBhethani, uMarta athi kuye: "Ukuba ubulapha umntakwethu ngengafanga" (ivesi 21). UYesu uyazi ukuba sele eza kuvusa uLazaro ekufeni, ukanti wabelana nabo ngentlungu yabo. "UYesu walila" (ivesi 35). UYesu uqhubeka ethandaza: “'Bawo, ndiyabulela kuwe ngokundimamela. Bendisazi ukuba uhlala uziva njalo, kodwa benditshilo ukuze kulungelwe abantu abalapha, abanokukholelwa ukuba undithumile. . . UYesu wakhwaza esithi 'Lazaro, phuma!' "(Indinyana 41-43, ugxininiso longezwa). Kule ndima sifumana amagama kunye nezenzo zikaYesu ngesisu esinzima: linda iintsuku ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba uhambe, uthi uyavuya ukuba angabikho kwaye athi inkolelo iya kuba (ngandlela thile!) Ukufumana oku. Kodwa xa uLazaro waphuma engcwabeni, la mazwi nezenzo zikaYesu ngequbuliso ziyavakala. Ithe ngoko into eninzi kumaYuda, ebize kuMariya, yakuyibona into awayeyenza, yakholwa kuye. Mhlawumbi, njengoko ufunda le nto ngoku, ufumana ukholo olunzulu kuYesu nakuYise omthumileyo.
Le mizekelo ithetha ngeziganeko ezithile kwaye inganiki mpendulo izeleyo zokuba kutheni uThixo evumele ukubandezeleka. Benza, nangona kunjalo, babonisa ukuba uYesu akoyikiswa kukubandezeleka nokuba ukunye nathi kwiingxaki zethu. La ngamanye amaxesha amazwi angathandabuzekiyo kaYesu asixelela ukuba ukubandezeleka kungabonisa imisebenzi kaThixo kwaye kulwenze nzulu ukholo lwabo banamava okanye babone ubunzima.

Kodwa, njengamabali okuphiliswa komntu ongaboniyo kunye nokuvuswa kukaLazaro, ndiyayibona imisebenzi kaThixo ngemini elandelayo kwaye ndikholwe ngokunzulu kuye. UThixo undibizele kuye wabuyela ebomini kwakhona. Ngoku andisenguye umntu oye waqhawula umtshato ngokungekho mthethweni; Ndingumntu omtsha.

Kweyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 12, umpostile uPawulos uthi cela uThixo asuse "iliva enyameni yakhe". UThixo uphendula athi "Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, kuba amandla am enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka" (ivesi 9). Mhlawumbi awukayifumani i-prognosis oyifunayo, uphantsi konyango lomhlaza, okanye kuye kwafuneka ujongane nentlungu engapheliyo.

Kuba xa ndibuthathaka, kuxa kanye ndomelele ”(iivesi 9 - 10).
