Kusho ukuthini 'ukudla, ukuphuza, nokujabula' kumShumayeli 8:15?
UMshumayeli waziwa njengezincwadi zokuhlakanipha eBhayibhelini. Ikhuluma ngencazelo yempilo, ukufa nokungabi nabulungiswa emhlabeni njengoba isishiya nombono oqabulayo wokudla, ukuphuza nokujabula. Ingqikithi eyinhloko ephindaphindwayo kaMshumayeli ivela egameni lesiHeberu elithi Hevel, lapho umshumayeli athi khona kumShumayeli 1: 2:
"Akubalulekile! Akubalulekile! ”Kusho uMaster. “Ngempela bland! Konke kuyize. "
Yize igama lesiHeberu elithi Hevel lihunyushwa ngokuthi "okungabalulekile" noma "okuyize", ezinye izazi zithi lokhu akusikho lokho okushiwo umbhali impela. Isithombe esicacile kungaba ukuhumusha "umusi". Umshumayeli kule ncwadi unikeza ukuhlakanipha kwakhe ngokusho ukuthi yonke impilo ingumphunga. Ichaza impilo njengokuzama ukuvala inkungu noma ukubamba intuthu. Kuyimpicabadala, kuyindida futhi akukwazi ukuqondwa. Ngakho-ke, lapho esitshela kumShumayeli 8:15 ukuthi 'sidle, siphuze futhi sithokoze,' usikhanyisela ngenjabulo yokuphila naphezu kwezindlela zayo ezididekile, ezingalawuleki nezingalungile.
Umshumayeli uyaliqonda izwe elonakele esiphila kulo. Ubheka isifiso sesintu sokulawula, uphokophele impumelelo nenjabulo, asibize ngentuthu egcwele - ukujaha umoya. Noma ngabe sisebenza kanjani, idumela elihle, noma ukukhetha okuhle, umshumayeli uyazi ukuthi "ukufundiswa" akuyeki ukuphotha (UmShumayeli 8:16). Uchaza impilo esemhlabeni kanjena:
"Ngiphinde ngabona futhi ukuthi ngaphansi kwelanga ukugijimela akuyona eyokuzila, futhi akuyona impi yabanamandla, noma isinkwa sabahlakaniphile, noma ingcebo yabahlakaniphile, noma umusa kulabo abanolwazi, kodwa isikhathi futhi kwenzeka kubo bonke. Njengoba umuntu engasazi isikhathi sakhe. Njengezinhlanzi ezibanjwe enetheni elibi, nanjengezinyoni ezibanjwe ogibeni, kanjalo nabantwana babantu babanjwa ogibeni ngesikhathi esibi, lapho sibawela ngokuzumayo. - UmShumayeli 9: 11-12
Kulombono lapho umshumayeli enikeza isisombululo ku-vertigo yomhlaba wethu:
“Futhi ngidumisa intokozo, ngoba umuntu akanalutho olungcono phansi kwelanga ngaphandle kokuthi adle, aphuze, ajabule, ngoba lokhu kuzomphelezela ekukhathaleni kwakhe phakathi nezinsuku zokuphila kwakhe amnike khona uNkulunkulu phansi kwelanga”. - UmShumayeli 8:15
Esikhundleni sokuvumela izinkathazo nezingcindezi zaleli zwe zisidicilele phansi, umShumayeli 8:15 usibizela ukuthi sijabulele izipho ezilula uNkulunkulu asinikeze zona naphezu kwezimo zethu.
Ngabe kufanele "sidle, siphuze, sithokoze" ngaso sonke isikhathi?
UmShumayeli 8:15 usifundisa ukuthi sijabule kuzo zonke izimo. Ngesikhathi sokuphuphunyelwa yisisu, ubungani obuhlulekile, noma ukulahlekelwa umsebenzi, umshumayeli wasikhumbuza ukuthi 'isikhathi sako konke sinakho' (UmShumayeli 3:18) nokuzwa injabulo yezipho zikaNkulunkulu naphezu kwesisekelo ukuzamazama komhlaba. Lokhu akusikho ukuxoshwa kokuhlupheka noma usizi lwethu. UNkulunkulu uyasibona ebuhlungwini bethu futhi usikhumbuza ukuthi unathi (KwabaseRoma 8: 38-39). Esikhundleni salokho, lokhu kuyisikhuthazo sokuthi umane ubekhona kuzipho zikaNkulunkulu esintwini.
“Ngibonile ukuthi akukho okungcono [kubantu] kunokuba bathokoze benze okuhle, besaphila; nokuthi wonke umuntu adle, aphuze, ajabulele ukukhathala kwakhe - lokhu kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu kumuntu ”. - UmShumayeli 3: 12-13
Njengoba sonke isintu sizulazula "ekufundiseni" ngaphansi kwemiphumela yokuwa kuGenesise 3, uNkulunkulu unikeza isisekelo esiqinile senjabulo kulabo Ababizile ngokwenhloso Yakhe (KwabaseRoma 8:28).
“Akukho lutho olungcono kumuntu kunokuba adle, aphuze, ajabule emshikashikeni wakhe. Lokhu futhi, sengikubonile, kuvela esandleni sikaNkulunkulu, ngoba ngaphandle kwakhe ngubani ongadla noma ngubani ongakujabulela? othokozisa uNkulunkulu unikeze ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi kanye nenjabulo “. - UmShumayeli 2: 24-26
Iqiniso lokuthi sinama-buds wokunambitha ukuze sijabulele ikhofi elinothile, ama-apula amnandi namakhekhe anosawoti liyisipho. UNkulunkulu usinika isikhathi sokuthokozela umsebenzi wezandla zethu nenjabulo yokuhlala phakathi kwabangane bakudala. Ngoba "zonke izipho ezinhle neziphelele zivela phezulu, zehla ekukhanyeni kukaBaba osezulwini" (Jakobe 1: 7).
Lithini iBhayibheli ngokujabulela ukuphila?
Ngakho-ke singakujabulela kanjani ukuphila ezweni eliwile? Ngabe sigxila kuphela ekudleni naseziphuzweni ezinkulu eziphambi kwethu, noma ingabe kukhona okwengeziwe eziheni ezintsha uNkulunkulu athi usinika zona njalo ekuseni (IsiLilo 3:23)? Isikhuthazo sikaMshumayeli ukukhulula umuzwa wethu wokulawula futhi sijabulele isabelo uNkulunkulu asinikeze sona, noma ngabe siphonswa ini. Ukwenza lokhu, asikwazi ukumane sithi "sijabulela" izinto, kepha kufanele sifune yona kanye into enikeza injabulo kwasekuqaleni. Ekugcineni ukuqonda ukuthi ngubani olawulayo (Izaga 19:21), ngubani onikayo nothatha (uJobe 1:21), futhi yini enelisa kakhulu ikwenza ugxume. Singanambitha i-apula eli-candied embukisweni, kepha ukomela kwethu ukwaneliseka okuyinhloko ngeke kuphele futhi umhlaba wethu ontekenteke awusoze ucace size sizithobe kuMuphi wazo zonke izinto ezinhle.
UJesu usitshela ukuthi uyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila, akakho ongeza kuBaba ngaphandle kwakhe (Johane 14: 6). Kukuzinikela kwethu ekuphatheni, ubunikazi kanye nokuphila kuJesu lapho sithola khona injabulo eyenelisa impilo yonke.
“Noma ungakayiboni uyayithanda. Noma ungamboni manje, kholwa kuye uthokoze ngenjabulo engachazeki egcwele inkazimulo, uthole umphumela wokholo lwakho, insindiso yemiphefumulo yakho ”. - 1 Petru 1: 8-9
UNkulunkulu, ekuhlakanipheni kwakhe okungenamkhawulo, usinikeze isipho sokugcina senjabulo kuJesu.Wathumela indodana yakhe ukuba iphile impilo ebesingakwazi ukuyiphila, ife ukufa okusifanele futhi yavuka ethuneni ngokunqoba isono noSathane unomphela. . Ngokukholwa kuye, sithola injabulo engachazeki. Zonke ezinye izipho - ubungani, ukushona kwelanga, ukudla okuhle namahlaya - zenzelwe ukusibuyisela enjabulweni esinayo kuye.
Abizwa kanjani amaKrestu ukuba aphile emhlabeni?
Lolo suku kuma-teacups luhlala lushisiwe engqondweni yami. Kungikhumbuza ngasikhathi sinye ukuthi ngangingubani nokuthi uNkulunkulu wayiguqula kanjani impilo yami ngoJesu.Lapho ngangizama kakhulu ukuthobela iBhayibheli futhi ngiphile ngesandla esivulekile, injabulo enkulu ngazizwa ngezinto azinikezayo nangezinto azithathayo. Akunandaba ukuthi ukuphi namuhla, ake sikhumbule eyoku-1 Petru 3: 10-12:
"Noma ngubani ofisa ukuthanda [nokujabulela] impilo nokubona izinsuku ezinhle,
gcina ulimi lwakhe kokubi nezindebe zakhe ekukhulumeni inkohliso;
deda ebubini, wenze okuhle; funa ukuthula futhi ukuphishekele.
Ngoba amehlo eNkosi aphezu kwabalungileyo, nezindlebe zayo zisekuthandazeni kwabo.
Kepha ubuso beNkosi bumelene nabenza okubi “.
NjengamaKrestu, sibizelwe ukujabulela impilo ngokugcina ulimi lwethu lungekho kokubi, senzela abanye okuhle siphishekele ukuthula nabo bonke. Ngokujabulela impilo ngale ndlela, sifuna ukuhlonipha igazi eliyigugu likaJesu owafa ukuze sikwazi ukuphila. Noma ngabe uzizwa sengathi uhleli kutiye lokuphotha, noma ubhajwe kusiyezi, ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi wethule izingcezu zempilo ozidwengulayo. Hlakulela inhliziyo enokubonga, wazise izipho ezilula uNkulunkulu azinikezile, futhi uzame ukujabulela impilo ngokuhlonipha uJesu nangokulalela imiyalo yakhe. "Ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awuyikudla nokuphuza, kepha ungukulunga, nokuthula, nokuthokoza kuMoya oNgcwele" (KwabaseRoma 14:17). Masingahlali nomcabango othi “YOLO” ukuthi izenzo zethu azinandaba, kepha asijabulele impilo ngokulandela ukuthula nokulunga futhi sibonge uNkulunkulu ngomusa wakhe ezimpilweni zethu.
