Kutheni sifuna iTestamente eNdala?
Ukukhula, bendihlala ndisiva amaKristu ecengceleza imantra efanayo kwabo bangakholwayo: "Kholwa kwaye uyakusindiswa".
Andiphikisani nale mvakalelo, kodwa kulula ukuyilungisa kolu luhlu kangangokuba silihoye ulwandle olukulo: yiBhayibhile. Kulula ngakumbi ukungayikhathaleli iTestamente eNdala kuba iZililo ziyadandathekisa, imibono kaDaniel iyadida kwaye iyadida, kwaye Ingoma kaSolomon iyaphoxa.
Le yile nto mna kwaye ndiyilibale iipesenti ezingama-99 zexesha: UThixo ukhethe oko kubhalwe eBhayibhileni. Ke, inyani yokuba iTestamente eNdala ikhona ithetha ukuba uThixo wabeka ngenjongo apho.
Ingqondo yam encinci yomntu ayinako ukuzisongela kwinkqubo yokucinga kukaThixo, nangona kunjalo, inokuza nezinto ezine iTestamente eNdala eyenzela abo bayifundayo.
1. Igcina kwaye ihambisa ibali likaThixo elisindisa abantu bakhe
Nabani na okhangela iTestamente eNdala uyabona ukuba nangona bengabantu abanyuliweyo bakaThixo, amaSirayeli enze iimpazamo ezininzi. Ndiyathanda nyhani .
Umzekelo, ngaphandle kokuba umbonile uThixo ehlupha i-Egypt (iEksodus 7: 14-11: 10), yahlula uLwandle oluBomvu (iEksodus 14: 1-22) kwaye ukothule ulwandle olukhankanywe ngasentla kubatshutshisi (iEksodus 14: 23-31) ), amaSirayeli aba novalo ngexesha likaMoses kwiNtaba yeSinayi kwaye acinga phakathi kwawo: “Lo asinguye lo Thixo. Endaweni yoko sinqula inkomo ekhanyayo "(iEksodus 32: 1-5).
Le yayingengowokuqala okanye wokugqibela kwiimpazamo zika Sirayeli, kwaye uThixo waqinisekisa ukuba ababhali beBhayibhile abaphoswa nanye. Kodwa wenza ntoni uThixo emva kokuba amaSirayeli ephindile kwakhona? Basindise. Ubagcina ngalo lonke ixesha.
Ngaphandle kweTestamente eNdala, mna nawe ngekhe sazi isiqingatha sento ayenzileyo uThixo ukusindisa amaSirayeli - ookhokho bethu bokomoya - kubo.
Ngapha koko, besingenakuyiqonda imvelaphi yezakwalizwi okanye yenkcubeko apho iTestamente eNtsha ngokubanzi kunye neVangeli ngokukodwa zavela khona. Singaba phi ukuba besingazazi iindaba ezilungileyo?
2. Bonisa ukuba uThixo uzimisele nzulu kubomi bethu bemihla ngemihla
Ngaphambi kokuba afike kwiLizwe Lesithembiso, amaSirayeli ayengenamongameli, inkulumbuso, nkqu nokumkani. U-Israyeli wayenento entsha esiza kuyibiza ngokuba yintando yesininzi. Kwidemokhrasi, inkolo ngurhulumente kwaye urhulumente inkolo.
Oku kuthetha ukuba imithetho ebekwe kwiEksodus, kwiLevitikus nakwiDuteronomi yayingeyiyo "wena-wena" kwaye "awunjalo" kubomi babucala; yayingumthetho woluntu, ngokufanayo, ukuhlawula irhafu kunye nokumisa imiqondiso ngumthetho.
"Ngubani okhathaleleyo?" Ubuza, "ILevitikus isadika."
Oko kunokuba yinyani, kodwa into yokuba umthetho kaThixo wawungumthetho welizwe usibonisa into ebalulekileyo: uThixo wayengafuni ukubona amaSirayeli kuphela ngeempelaveki nangePasika. Wayefuna ukuba yinxalenye yobomi babo ukuze baphumelele.
Oku kuyinyani ngoThixo namhlanje: Ufuna ukuba nathi xa sisitya iiCheerios zethu, sihlawule amatyala ombane, kwaye sisonge iimpahla eziye zashiywa kwisomisi iveki yonke. Ngaphandle kweTestamente eNdala, besingazi ukuba akukho zinkcukacha zincinci ukuba uThixo wethu angakhathala.
3. Isifundisa indlela yokudumisa uThixo
Xa uninzi lwamaKrestu lucinga ngendumiso, bacinga ngokucula kwii-Hillsong cover zecawe. Oku kubangelwe kukuba incwadi yeeNdumiso yingoma yamaculo kunye nemibongo kwaye ngokuyinxenye kuba ukucula iingoma ezimyoli ngeCawa kwenza ukuba iintliziyo zethu zifudumale kwaye zibhideke.
Kuba uninzi lonqulo lwamaKrestu lwanamhlanje luvela kwimithombo yolonwabo, amakholwa ayalibala ukuba ayilulo lonke udumo oluvela kwindawo evuyisayo. Uthando lukaYobhi ngoThixo lwamlahlekisela yonke into, ezinye zeendumiso (umz.
U-Yobhi, iiNdumiso kunye neNtshumayeli zahluke kakhulu kwezinye, kodwa zineenjongo ezifanayo: ukwamkela uThixo njengomsindisi hayi ngaphandle kobunzima kunye nokubandezeleka, kodwa ngenxa yako.
Ngaphandle kwale mibhalo yeTestamente eNdala engonwabisiyo, ngekhe sazi ukuba iintlungu zinako kwaye kufuneka zibotshelwe ukudumisa. Siza kukwazi ukudumisa uThixo xa sonwabile.
4. Uxela kwangaphambili ukuza kukaKrestu
UThixo osindisa uSirayeli, ezenza inxenye yobomi bethu, esifundisa indlela yokumdumisa… iyintoni injongo yako konke oku? Kutheni le nto sidinga umxube wezibakala, imithetho kunye nemibongo ebuhlungu xa sikholelwa ukuba siyinyani kwaye siyakusindiswa?
Kungenxa yokuba iTestamente eNdala inenye into emayiyenze: Iziprofeto ezingoYesu UIsaya 7:14 usixelela ukuba uYesu uzakubizwa ngokuba nguImanuweli, okanye uthixo unathi. Umprofeti uHoseya utshata ihenyukazi njengomfuziselo wothando lukaYesu kwiCawa engafanelekanga. Kwaye uDaniel 7: 13-14 uxela kwangaphambili ngokuza kwesibini kukaYesu.
Ezi ziprofetho kunye nezinye ezininzi zinike ama-Israyeli eTestamente eNdala into anokuyithemba: ukuphela komnqophiso womthetho kunye nokuqala komnqophiso wobabalo. NamaKristu namhlanje afumana okuthile kuwo: ulwazi lokuba uThixo uchithe amawaka-ewe, iminyaka eliwaka-ekhathalela usapho lwaKhe.
Kuba ibalulekile?
Ukuba ulibale lonke eli nqaku, khumbula oku: ITestamente Entsha isixelela ngesizathu sethemba lethu, kodwa iTestamente eNdala isixelela ngento awayenzayo uThixo ukusinika elo themba.
Okukhona sifunda ngayo, kokukhona siya sibaqonda kwaye sibuxabise ubude bayo obenzelwe abantu abanesono, abaneenkani nabazizidenge njengathi abangayifanelanga loo nto.
