Kwi ividiyo yokugqibela, savavanya ithemba leyezinye iigusha ezichazwe kuYohane 10: 16.
Ndinazo nezinye iigusha, ezingezizo ezo sibaya. nabo kufuneka ndibangenise, kwaye baya kuliphulaphula ilizwi lam, kwaye baya kuba mhlambi omnye. ”(U-John 10: 16)
IQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova lifundisa ukuba la maqela mabini angamaKristu— “esi sibaya” kunye “nezinye izimvu” —wahlukile ngomvuzo awufumanayo. Abokuqala bathanjisiwe ngomoya kwaye baya ezulwini, okwesibini abathanjiswanga ngomoya kwaye bahlala emhlabeni bengaboni abangafezekanga. Sibonile ngokusuka eZibhalweni kwividiyo yethu yokugqibela ukuba le yimfundiso yobuxoki. Ubungqina beZibhalo buxhasa isigqibo sokuba ezinye iigusha zahlulwe "kwesi sibaya" hayi ngethemba labo, kodwa ngemvelaphi yabo. BangamaKristu eeNtlanga, hayi amaJuda angamaKristu. Sifunde ukuba iBhayibhile ayifundisi amathemba amabini, kodwa inye:
". . Mnye umzimba umzimba, mnye nomoya, njengoko nabizelwa kwithemba elinye lobizo lwenu; Inye iNkosi, lunye ukholo, lunye ubhaptizo; mnye uThixo noYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke, okubo bonke, ophakathi kwabo bonke. ” (Kwabase-Efese 4: 4-6)
Kuyavunywa, kuthatha ixesha elincinci ukuziqhelanisa nale nyani intsha. Ukuqala kwam ukuqonda ukuba ndinethemba lokuba ngomnye wabantwana bakaThixo, bekukho neemvakalelo ezixubeneyo. Ndisangena nzulu kwimfundiso yenkolo ye-JW, ndiye ndacinga ukuba oku kuqonda kutsha kuthetha ukuba ukuba ndihlala ndithembekile, ndiza kuya ezulwini, ndingaze ndiphinde ndibonwe. Ndikhumbula umfazi wam — owayengafane alile — elila.
Umbuzo ngulo, Ngaba abantwana bakaThixo abathanjisiweyo baya ezulwini ukuze bafumane umvuzo?
Kuya kuba mnandi ukukhomba kwisibhalo esiphendula lo mbuzo ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kodwa yeha, akukho sibhalo sinjalo ngokokwazi kwam konke. Kwabaninzi, ayonelanga. Bafuna ukwazi. Bafuna impendulo emnyama nomhlophe. Isizathu kukuba abafuni ukuya ezulwini. Bayayithanda imbono yokuphila emhlabeni njengabantu abafezekileyo abaphila ngonaphakade. Nam ke ndingumnqweno wendalo.
Kukho izizathu ezibini zokuvumela iingqondo zethu zikhululeke ngokubhekisele kulo mbuzo.
Isizathu 1
Eyokuqala ndingayibonisa kakuhle ngokubeka umbuzo kuwe. Ngoku, andifuni ukuba ucinge ngempendulo. Phendula nje emathunjini akho. Nanku imeko.
Awutshatanga kwaye ufuna iqabane. Unokukhetha ezimbini. Kukhetho 1, ungakhetha naliphi na iqabane phakathi kwezigidigidi zabantu emhlabeni-naluphi na uhlanga, inkolo, okanye imvelaphi. Ukhetho lwakho. Akukho zithintelo. Khetha ezona zintle, ezikrelekrele, ezityebileyo, ezona zilungileyo okanye ezihlekisayo, okanye indibaniselwano yezi. Nantoni na enencasa ikofu yakho. Kukhetho 2, awuzukukhetha. UThixo uyakhetha. Naliphi na iqabane eliziswa nguYehova kuwe, kufuneka ulamkele.
Ukuphendula kwesisu, khetha ngoku!
Ngaba ukhethe ukhetho 1? Ukuba akunjalo… ukuba ukhethe ukhetho 2, ngaba usatsalelekile kukhetho 1? Ngaba okwesibini uqikelela ukhetho lwakho? Ngaba uziva ukuba kufuneka ucinge ngayo ngaphambi kokuthatha isigqibo sokugqibela?
Ukusilela kwethu kukuba senze ukhetho ngokusekwe kwinto esiyifunayo, hayi kwinto esiyifunayo- hayi eyona ilungele thina. Ingxaki asifane sibonakale ngathi siyazi eyona nto ilungele thina. Nangona kunjalo sihlala sinama-hubris okucinga ukuba senza. Inyaniso iyaxelelwa, xa kufikwa ekukhetheni iqabane, sonke sihlala sisenza ukhetho oluphosakeleyo. Izinga eliphezulu loqhawulo-mtshato bubungqina boku.
Ngenxa yobunyani, sonke bekufanele ukuba sitsibe kukhetho 2, sothuswa kukucinga kwinto yokuqala. Ngaba uThixo undikhethele? Yizise!
Kodwa asenzi njalo. Siyathandabuza.
Ukuba sikholelwa nyhani ukuba uYehova wazi okungakumbi ngathi kunokuba sazi ngathi, kwaye ukuba sikholelwa nyhani ukuba Uyasithanda kwaye ufuna okusilungeleyo, kutheni singafuni ukuba azikhethele iqabane? ?
Ngaba ifanele ihluke xa kufikwa kumvuzo esiwufumanayo wokuba nokholo kuNyana wakhe?
Into esisandul 'ukuyibonisa ngumxholo wokholo. Sonke sifunde amaHebhere 11: 1. INguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha YeZibhalo Ezingcwele ikubeka ngolu hlobo:
"Ukholo lulindelo oluqinisekisiweyo lwento elindelweyo, ubungqina obucacileyo bezinto ezingabonwa." (Kumahebhere 11: 1)
Xa kuziwa kusindiso lwethu, into ethembele kuyo ngokuqinisekileyo hayi ubonwe ngokucacileyo, ngaphandle kokubonakaliswa okuhle kobomi kwiLizwe elitsha obufumaneka kupapasho lwe-Watchtower Society.
Ngaba ngokwenene sicinga ukuba uThixo uza kuvusa amawaka ezigidi zabangengomalungisa, abanoxanduva lwazo zonke iinkxwaleko kunye nenkohlakalo kwimbali, kwaye yonke into iya kuba yinto enesidima ukusuka kulwakhiwo? Ayisiyonyani kwaphela. Kukangaphi sifumanisa ukuba umfanekiso wentengiso awuhambelani nemveliso ethengiswayo?
Into yokuba singenakho ukubazi ngokuchanekileyo ubunyani bomvuzo abafunyanwa ngaBantwana bakaThixo yiyo loo nto sifuna ukholo. Qwalasela imizekelo ekwisahluko seshumi elinanye samaHebhere.
Ivesi ezine zithetha ngo-Abheli: “Ngokholo uAbheli wasondeza kuye uThixo umbingelelo oxabiso likhulu ngakumbi kunokaKayin…” (KumaHebhere 11: 4) Bobabini aba bazalwana bazibona iingelosi kunye nekrele elidangazelayo limile emnyango weGadi yase-Eden. Abazange babuthandabuze ubukho bukaThixo. Ngapha koko, uKayin wathetha noThixo. (Genesis 11: 6, 9-16) Wathetha noThixo !!! Ukanti, uKayin wayeswele ukholo. UAbheli, kwelinye icala, uwufumene umvuzo wakhe ngenxa yokholo. Akukho bungqina bokuba u-Abheli wayenomfanekiso ocacileyo wokuba uyakuba yintoni na loo mvuzo. Ngapha koko, iBhayibhile iyibiza ngokuba yimfihlelo engcwele eyayifihliwe yade yatyhilwa nguKristu kumawaka eminyaka kamva.
". . .imfihlelo engcwele eyayifihliwe kwiinkqubo zexesha elidlulileyo nakwizukulwana ezidlulileyo. Kodwa ke ngoku kutyhilwe nabangcwele bakhe, "(KwabaseKolose 1: 26)
Ukholo luka-Abheli lwalungekho malunga nokukholelwa kuThixo, kuba noKayin wayenayo loo nto. Kwakungekho nokholo kuye ngokungqalileyo ukuba uThixo uya kuzigcina izithembiso zakhe, kuba akukho bungqina bokuba izithembiso zenziwa kuye. Ngandlel 'ithile, uYehova wakholiswa yimibingelelo ka-Abheli, kodwa konke esinokukutsho ngokuqinisekileyo kwingxelo ephefumlelweyo kukuba u-Abheli wayesazi ukuba wayemkholisa uYehova. Kungqinelwe kuye ukuba emehlweni kaThixo wayelilungisa; kodwa oko kuthetha ntoni kwisiphumo sokugqibela? Akukho bungqina bokuba wayesazi. Into ebalulekileyo ekufuneka siyazi kukuba kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba ayazi. Njengoko umbhali wamaHebhere esitsho:
". . .Ngakumbi, ngaphandle kokholo akunakwenzeka ukumkholisa kakuhle, kuba lowo uzayo kuThixo kufuneka akholwe ukuba ukho, kwaye ungumvuzi wabo bamfuna ngenyameko. "(KumaHebhere 11: 6)
Nguwuphi loo mvuzo? Akukho mfuneko yokuba sazi. Ngapha koko, ukholo lumalunga nokungazi. Ukholo lumalunga nokuthembela kukulunga okuphezulu kukaThixo.
Masithi ungumakhi, kwaye indoda yeza kuwe ithi, “Ndakhe indlu, kodwa kufuneka uhlawule zonke iindleko epokothweni yakho, kwaye andizukuhlawula nganto ndide ndibenayo, ke mna ndiza kukuhlawula endikubona kufanelekile. ”
Ungayakha indlu phantsi kwezo meko? Ngaba uya kuba nakho ukubeka olo hlobo lokholo ekulungeni nasekuthembekeni komnye umntu?
Le yile nto asicele yona uYehova uThixo.
Inqaku lelokuba, ngaba kufuneka wazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uza kuba yintoni umvuzo ngaphambi kokuba uwamkele?
IBhayibhile ithi:
“Kodwa kanye njengoko kubhaliwe kwathiwa: 'Iliso alibonanga, nendlebe ayizivanga, kananjalo akuveli entliziyweni yomntu izinto azilungiselele abo bamthandayo.'” (1 Co 2: 9)
Kuyavunywa, sinomfanekiso olungcono wento efunyanwa ngumvuzo kunale ka-Abheli, kodwa asikabinayo yonke loo foto-singasondelanga ncam.
Nangona imfihlelo engcwele yayityhilwe ngexesha likaPawulosi, kwaye wabhala ephefumlelwe ekwabelana ngeenkcukacha ezininzi ukunceda ukucacisa uhlobo lomvuzo, wayenomfanekiso ocacileyo.
“Okwangoku sibona ngaphandle ngesipili esinyithi, kodwa ke iya kuba ubuso ngobuso. Okwangoku ndiyazi ngokuyinxenye, kodwa ke ndiya kwazi ngokuchanekileyo, njengoko ndaziwa ngokuchanekileyo. Ke ngoku ezi zinto zintathu zihleli zihleli: ukholo, ithemba, uthando; kodwa eyona inkulu kwezi luthando. ”(1 Corinthians 13: 12, 13)
Isidingo sokholo asikapheli. Ukuba uYehova uthi, "Ndiza kukuvuza ukuba uthembekile kum", ngaba siza kuphendula, "Phambi kokuba ndenze isigqibo sam, Bawo, ungachaza ngokuthe ngqo ngale nto uyenzayo?"
Ke, isizathu sokuqala sokuba singakhathazeki ngohlobo lomvuzo wethu kubandakanya ukholo kuThixo. Ukuba ngokwenene sinokholo lokuba uYehova ulunge kakhulu kwaye ulumke ngokungenasiphelo kwaye usibabale kakhulu eluthandweni lwethu ngathi kunye nomnqweno wakhe wokusenza sonwabe, siya kushiya umvuzo ezandleni zakhe, siqinisekile ukuba nantoni na eya kuba yiyo iya kuba uyolo olungaphaya kwayo nantoni na esinokuyicinga.
Isizathu 2
Isizathu sesibini sokungakhathazeki kukuba uninzi lwenkxalabo yethu luvela kwinkolelo malunga nomvuzo ukuba awuyonyani.
Ndiza kuqala ngokwenza ingxelo ebhaliweyo. Zonke iinkolo zikholelwa kuhlobo oluthile lomvuzo wasezulwini kwaye zonke zinempazamo. AmaHindu kunye namaBuddha baneenqwelomoya zabo zobukho, amaHindu Bhuva Loka kunye neSwarga Loka, okanye iBuddhist Nirvana- ayililo izulu kangako njengoluhlobo lokulibala. Inguqulelo yamaSilamsi yangemva kokufa ibonakala ngathi ixhonyiwe yamadoda, ithembisa intabalala yeentombi ezintle eziza kutshata.
Ngaphakathi kwegadi kunye nemithombo, Ukunxiba [iimpahla] zesilika entle kunye neencwadana ezinemifanekiso, zijongane… Siya kutshata… abafazi abalungileyo abanamehlo amakhulu, [amahle]. (IQur'an, 44: 52-54)
Kuzo [iigadi] kukho abafazi abanqumlayo kwizithambiso zabo, ezingafundwanga phambi kwabo yindoda okanye ngu-jinni - Ngokungathi zierubhi kunye neekorale. (IQur'an, 55: 56,58)
Kwaye emva koko siza kwiNgqobhoko. Inkoliso yeecawa, kuquka namaNgqina kaYehova, zikholelwa ukuba bonke abantu abalungileyo baya ezulwini. Umahluko kukuba amaNgqina akholelwa ukuba inani lilinganiselwe kwi-144,000 kuphela.
Masibuyele eBhayibhileni ukuze siqale ukulungisa zonke iimfundiso zobuxoki. Masiphinde sifunde eyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 2: 9, kodwa ngeli xesha ngokomxholo.
“Ngoku sithetha ubulumko phakathi kwabo baqolileyo, kodwa ayibobulumko kule nkqubo yezinto okanye yeyabalawuli bale nkqubo yezinto, eziya kubhangiswa. Kodwa sithetha ubulumko bukaThixo kwimfihlakalo engcwele, ubulumko obufihliwe, abuqokelele phambi kwexesha le nkqubo yezinto, ukuze bubuqaqawuli bethu. Obu bulumko ekungekho namnye kubo wabalawuli bale nkqubo yezinto abaziyoKuba, ukuba bebazi, ngebengayenzanga iNkosi yozuko. Kodwa kanye njengoko kubhaliwe kwathiwa: “Iliso alibonanga, nendlebe ayizivanga, kananjalo akuveli entliziyweni yomntu izinto azilungiselele abo bamthandayo.” Kuba sizityhilwe nguThixo thina. Ngomoya wakhe, kuba umoya uphengulula kwizinto zonke, kwanezinto ezinzulu zikaThixo. ”(1 Corinthians 2: 6-10)
Ke ngoobani “abaphathi bale nkqubo yezinto”? Ngabo "abenze iNkosi ezukileyo". Ngubani owabulala uYesu? AmaRoma ayenesandla kuyo, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa abona bantu banetyala, abo babemi ngelithi uPontiyo Pilato agwebe uYesu ukuba abulawe, babengabalawuli boMbutho kaYehova, njengoko amaNgqina esitsho-sisizwe sakwa-Israyeli. Ekubeni sisithi isizwe sakwaSirayeli sasiyintlangano kaYehova yasemhlabeni, kuyacaca ukuba abalawuli bayo — iqumrhu layo elilawulayo — yayingabaFundisi, ababhali, abaSadusi nabaFarisi. Aba “ngabalawuli bale nkqubo yezinto” athetha ngabo uPawulos. Ke, xa sifunda le ndawo, masingagcini ngokucinga kubalawuli bezopolitiko banamhlanje, kodwa siquke abo bangabalawuli bezenkolo; kuba ngabalawuli bezenkolo abamele babenendawo yokuqonda "ubulumko bukaThixo kwimfihlelo engcwele, ubulumko obufihliweyo" athetha ngabo uPawulos.
Ngaba abalawuli benkqubo yezinto yamaNgqina kaYehova, iQumrhu Elilawulayo, bayayiqonda le mfihlelo ingcwele? Ngaba bayabazi ubulumko bukaThixo? Umntu unokucinga njalo, kuba sifundisiwe ukuba banomoya kaThixo kwaye, kwakhona, njengoko watshoyo uPaul, kufuneka bakwazi ukukhangela "kwizinto ezinzulu zikaThixo."
Nangona kunjalo, njengoko sibonile kwividiyo yethu yangaphambili, la madoda afundisa izigidi zamaKristu anyanisekileyo afuna inyani yokuba ayifakwanga kule mfihlelo ingcwele. Inxalenye yemfundiso yabo yeyokuba bali-144,000 144,000 kuphela abaza kulawula noKristu. Kwaye bafundisa ukuba lo mthetho uya kuba sezulwini. Ngamanye amagama, i-XNUMX ishiya umhlaba ulungile kwaye iya ezulwini ukuze ibe noThixo.
Kuyatshiwo ukuba kwizindlu nomhlaba, kukho izinto ezintathu ekufuneka usoloko uzigcina engqondweni xa uthenga indlu: Eyokuqala yindawo. Eyesibini yindawo, kwaye eyesithathu, uqikelele, indawo. Ngaba lowo ngumvuzo wamaKristu? Indawo, indawo, indawo? Ngaba umvuzo wethu yindawo engcono yokuhlala?
Ukuba kunjalo, ke yeyiphi ngeNdumiso 115: 16:
". . .Kwakuthengiswa izulu, amazulu ngakaYehova, Kodwa umhlaba ulinike oonyana babantu. ”(Ndumiso 115: 16)
Kwaye akazange athembise amaKristu, abantwana bakaThixo, ukuba baya kuwudla ilifa umhlaba?
“Banoyolo abo banomoya wobulali, kuba baya kuwudla ilifa umhlaba.” (UMateyu 5: 5)
Ewe kunjalo, nakwindinyana enye, eyaziwa ngokuba yiBeatunes, noYesu wathi:
“Banoyolo abasulungekileyo entliziyweni, kuba baya kumbona uThixo.” (UMateyu 5: 8)
Ngaba wayethetha ngokomzekeliso? Ngokunokwenzeka, kodwa andicingi njalo. Nangona kunjalo, olo luluvo lwam kuphela kwaye uluvo lwam kwaye i-1.85 yeedola iya kukufumanela ikofu encinci eStarbucks. Kuya kufuneka ujonge iinyani kwaye uzenzele esakho isigqibo.
Umbuzo ophambi kwethu umi: Ngaba umvuzo ngamaKristu athanjisiweyo, nokuba ungowesoldia samaYuda, okanye uvela kwezinye izilwanyana ezikhulu zoMhlambi, ukushiya umhlaba uphile ezulwini?
UYesu wathi:
“Banoyolo abo bayiphapheleyo intswelo yabo yokomoya, kuba ulawulo lwamazulu lolwabo.” (UMateyu 5: 3)
Ngoku ibinzana, "ubukumkani bamazulu", livela amaxesha angama-32 kwincwadi kaMateyu. (Akuveli ndawo kwenye iSibhalo.) Kodwa qaphela ayibobukumkani in amazulu ”. UMateyu akathethi ngendawo, kodwa imvelaphi-umthombo wegunya lobukumkani. Obu bukumkani abungobomhlaba kodwa bamazulu. Igunya lalo ke aliveli kuThixo.
Mhlawumbi eli ingalixesha elifanelekileyo lokuba ume kwaye ujonge kwigama "izulu" njengoko lisetyenziswa esiBhalweni. "Izulu", kwisinye, livela eBhayibhileni phantse amaxesha angama-300, kwaye "amazulu", ngaphezulu kwama-500 amaxesha. "Ezulu" livela phantse amaxesha angama-50. Amagama aneentsingiselo ezahlukeneyo.
"Izulu" okanye "amazulu" anokuthetha nje isibhakabhaka ngaphezulu kwethu. UMarko 4:32 uthetha ngeentaka zezulu. Amazulu angabhekisa kwindalo ebonakalayo. Nangona kunjalo, zihlala zisetyenziselwa ukubhekisa kummandla wokomoya. Umthandazo weNkosi uqala ngegama elithi, “Bawo wethu osemazulwini…” (Mateyu 6: 9) apho kusetyenziswa isininzi. Nangona kunjalo, kuMateyu 18:10 uYesu uthetha 'ngeengelosi ezulwini ezihlala zijonga ubuso bukaBawo osemazulwini.' Apho, isinye sisetyenziswa. Ngaba oku kuyaphikisana noko sikufunde nje kwiiKumkani zokuqala ngoThixo ukuba akabikho nakwizulu lamazulu? Unotshe. La ngamazwi nje asinika inqanaba elincinci lokuqonda malunga nendalo kaThixo.
Umzekelo, xa wayethetha ngoYesu, uPawulos uxelela ama-Efese kwisahluko 4 ivesi 10 ukuba "wenyukela phezulu ngaphezu kwawo onke amazulu". Ngaba uPawulos ucinga ukuba uYesu wenyuka ngaphezu koThixo ngokwakhe? Akho ndlela yimbi.
Sithetha ngoThixo ezulwini, ukanti akakho.
Kodwa ngaba ngenene uThixo uya kuhlala emhlabeni? Khangela! Amazulu, ewe, izulu lawo amazulu, awunakukuhlutha; kobeka phi, ke, le ndlu ndiyakhileyo! ”(1 Kings 8: 27)
IBhayibhile ithi uYehova usezulwini, kodwa ikwatsho nokuthi izulu alinakukwazi ukumlawula.
Khawufane ucinge uzama ukuchazela umntu ozelwe eyimfama ukuba injani imibala ebomvu, ebhlowu, luhlaza, notyheli. Unokuzama ngokuthelekisa imibala kunye neqondo lobushushu. Olubomvu lufudumele, luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lupholile. Uzama ukunika umntu ongaboniyo isikhokelo esithile, kodwa akaqondi umbala.
Siyayiqonda indawo. Ke, ukutsho ukuba uThixo usezulwini kuthetha ukuba akekho lapha nathi kodwa ukwenye indawo engaphaya kokuba sifikelele. Nangona kunjalo, oko akuqali ukuchaza ukuba yintoni kanye kanye eyona nto iyiyo izulu okanye imeko kaThixo. Kuya kufuneka sivumelane nokusikelwa umda ukuba siza kuqonda nantoni na ngethemba lethu lasezulwini.
Makhe ndikucacisele oku ngomzekelo osebenzayo. Ndiza kukubonisa eyona nto ifowunelwa ngabantu abaninzi.
Emuva kwi1995, abantu baseNASA bathatha umngcipheko omkhulu. Ixesha elikwi-Hubble teleskopu lalibiza kakhulu, linoluhlu olude lwabantu ababenqwenela ukuyisebenzisa. Nangona kunjalo, bagqiba ekubeni bayikhombise kwindawo encinci yesibhakabhaka esingenanto. Khawufane ucinge ubungakanani bebhola yentenetya kwindawo enye yeepali yomzimba webhola ekhatywayo ume kwelinye. Inokuba incinci kangakanani loo nto. Injalo ke le ndawo yesibhakabhaka ababeyihlolisisa. Ngeentsuku ze-10 ukukhanya okutyhafileyo okuvela kuloo ndawo yezulu ngaphakathi, ifoton ngefoton, ukuba ifunyanwe kwisithambisi sensimbi. Ngebengaphethanga nto, kodwa endaweni yoko banayo le.
Yonke ichaphaza, yonke into emhlophe kulo mfanekiso ayisiyonkanyezi kodwa ngumthala. Umnyele onamakhulu ezigidi ukuba akusiyo iibhiliyoni zeenkwenkwezi. Ukusukela ngeloxesha benze nezikisi ezinzulu kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zezulu kwaye ixesha ngalinye bafumana iziphumo ezifanayo. Ngaba sicinga ukuba uThixo uhlala endaweni? Isibhakabhaka esibonakalayo sikhulu kangangokuba asinakucingelwa yingqondo yomntu. UYehova unokuhlala njani endaweni? Iingelosi, ewe. Banqabile njengam nawe. Bayohlala kwenye indawo. Iya kubonakala ngathi kukho eminye imilinganiselo yobukho, indiza yenyani. Kwakhona, iimfama zizama ukuqonda umbala - yile nto siyiyo.
Ke, xa iBhayibhile ithetha ngezulu, okanye amazulu, ezi zinto ziyinkomfa ukusinceda ukuba siqonde okuthile esingakuqondi. Ukuba siza kuzama ukufumana inkcazo eqhelekileyo edibanisa konke ukusetyenziswa kwezulu "izulu", "amazulu", "izulu", inokuba yile:
Izulu yinto engeyiyo yomhlaba.
Uluvo lwezulu eBhayibhileni luhlala luyinto ephezulu emhlabeni kunye / okanye kwizinto zasemhlabeni, nokuba zimbi. Kwabase-Efese 6: 12 bathetha "ngemikhosi yoomoya abakhohlakeleyo kwezasezulwini iindawo" kunye no-2 Petros 3: 7 uthetha "ngamazulu nomhlaba ngoku ugcinelwe umlilo".
Ngaba ikhona iivesi eBhayibhileni ethi ngokungathandabuzekiyo ukuba umvuzo wethu kukulawula usezulwini okanye uyohlala ezulwini? Abezenkolo bakuxelele oko kangangeenkulungwane kwiZibhalo; kodwa khumbula, la ngamadoda afanayo afundise iimfundiso ezifana nesihogo somlilo, umphefumlo ongafiyo, okanye ubukho buka-Kristu ka-1914 — ukubala nje abambalwa. Ukukhuseleka, kufuneka siyikhathalele nayiphi na imfundiso yabo "njengesiqhamo somthi onetyhefu". Endaweni yoko, masikhe siye kwiBhayibhile, singenakucinga, kwaye sibone ukuba isikhokelela phi.
Mibini imibuzo esisebenzisayo. Siza kuhlala phi? Kwaye siya kuba yintoni? Masizame ukulungisa umba wendawo kuqala.
Indawo
UYesu wathi siza kulawula kunye naye. (2 Timoti 2:12) Ngaba uYesu ulawula esezulwini? Ukuba angalawula esezulwini, kwakutheni ukuze amisele ikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi ukondla umhlambi wakhe emva kokuba ehambile? (Mt 24: 45-47) Kumzekeliso emva komzekeliso- iitalente, iimina, iintombi ezinyulu ezili-10, igosa elithembekileyo- sibona umxholo ofanayo: UYesu uyemka wabashiya abakhonzi bakhe bephethe de abuye. Ukulawula ngokupheleleyo, kufuneka abekhona, kwaye bonke ubuKristu bumalunga nokulinda ukubuyela kwakhe emhlabeni ukuze alawule.
Abanye babenokuthi, “Heyi, uThixo angenza nantoni na ayifunayo. Ukuba uThixo ufuna uYesu nabathanjiswa balawule besezulwini, banako. ”
Kuyinyani. Kodwa umba awuyonto kaThixo unako yenza, kodwa into anayo uThixo okhethiweyo ukwenza. Simele sijonge ingxelo ephefumlelweyo ukuze sibone indlela uYehova alulawula ngayo uluntu ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla.
Ngokomzekelo, khawucinge ngeSodom neGomora. Isithethi sengelosi sikaYehova esazambathisa umzimba womntu satyelela uAbraham samxelela:
Isikhalo sabo ngeSodom neGomora sisikhulu, kwaye isono sabo sinzima. Ndiyakuhla ukuze ndibone ukuba bayasebenza na ngokwesikhalo esifikileyo kum. Ukuba akukhange kubenjalo, ndiza kuyazi. ”(Genesis 18: 20, 21)
Kubonakala ngathi uYehova akakhange asebenzise ubuchwephesha bakhe ukuxelela iingelosi ukuba imeko yayinjani kwezi zixeko, kodwa endaweni yoko mabazifunele ngokwabo. Kwafuneka behle ukuze bafunde. Kwafuneka bazambathise imizimba njengamadoda. Ubukho obubonakalayo babufuneka, kwaye kwafuneka bayindwendwele indawo.
Ngokukwanjalo, xa uYesu ebuyayo, uya kuba esemhlabeni ukuba alawule kwaye agwebe uluntu. Ibhayibhile ayithethi kuphela ngexeshana elifutshane apho afika khona, aqokelele abo abanyulileyo, emva koko abahlebele ezulwini bangaze babuye. UYesu akekho ngoku. Usezulwini. Xa ebuya, yakhe I-Parousia, ubukho bakhe buya kuqala. Ukuba ubukho bakhe buqala xa ebuyele emhlabeni, ubukhona bakhe buqhubeka njani ukuba ubuyela ezulwini? Silibale njani?
ISityhi isixelela ukuba "Intente kaThixo iphakathi koluntu, uya kuyenza hlala nabo…" Hlala nabo! Uza kuhlala njani uThixo nathi? Kuba uYesu uya kuba nathi. Wayebizwa ngokuba nguImanuweli oko kuthetha ukuba “unathi nguThixo”. (Mt 1: 23) ungowona mfanekiso ubalaseleyo kaYehova, kwaye uxhasa izinto zonke ngelizwi lamandla akhe. (Hebhere 1: 3) "ungumfanekiso kaThixo", kwaye abo bambonayo, babone uBawo. (2 kwabaseKorinte 4: 4; Yohane 14: 9)
Ayizukuhlala kuphela noluntu, kodwa ke nabathanjiswa, ookumkani kunye nababingeleli. Sixelelwa ukuba iJerusalem eNtsha — apho bahlala khona abathanjisiweyo — yehla ivela ezulwini. (Izityhilelo 21: 1-4)
Abantwana bakaThixo abalawula noYesu njengookumkani nababingeleli kuthiwa bayalawula emhlabenihayi ezulwini. I-NWT iguqulela ngendlela engeyiyo iSityhilelo 5:10 esenza igama lesiGrike indlebe okuthetha ukuthi "on or on" njengo "over". Oku kuyalahlekisa!
Indawo: Ngamafutshane
Ngelixa kusenokubonakala kunjalo, andixeleli nantoni na ngokwamanqanaba. Ebeya kuba yimpazamo. Ndibonisa nje ukuba ubunzima bukhokelela phi. Ukudlula ngaphaya koko kuya kuba kukungawakhathaleli amazwi kaPaulus athi sibona nje izinto ngokuyinxenye. (I-1 Kor. 13: 12)
Oku kusikhokelela kumbuzo olandelayo: Siza kuba njani?
Siza kuba Njani?
Ngaba siya kuba ngabantu abafezekileyo? Ingxaki kukuba, ukuba singabantu kuphela, nangona sigqibelele kwaye singenasono, singalawula njani njengookumkani?
Ibhayibhile ithi: 'Umntu ulawula umntu iba kukwenzakala kwakhe,' kwaye 'ayisiyo eyomntu ukwalathisa inyathelo lakhe'. (INtshumayeli 8: 9; Jeremiah 10: 23)
Ibhayibhile ithi siya kugweba uluntu, kwaye ngaphezulu koko, siya kugweba iingelosi, sibhekisa kwiingelosi eziwile zikunye noSathana. (I-1 Kor. 6: 3) Ukwenza yonke le nto nangaphezulu, siya kufuna amandla omabini kunye nengqondo engaphaya koko kunokubakho umntu.
IBhayibhile iyathetha ngeNdalo eNtsha, ibonisa into engazange ibekho ngaphambili.
". . Ngoko ke, ukuba ubani ukuKristu, usisidalwa esitsha; Izinto zakudala zidlule; khangela! izinto ezintsha zenzekile. ” (2 kwabaseKorinte 5:17)
". . Kodwa mna andinakuze ndiqhayise nganto, ngaphandle kwesibonda sentuthumbo seNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, ekuthe ngalo ilizwe labulawa ngokumalunga nam kunye nam nehlabathi. Nokuba umntu walukile, nokuba akalukanga, akunamsebenzi. Into ebalulekileyo kukuba yindalo entsha. Bonke abo bahamba ngalo mgaqo wokuziphatha, uxolo nenceba malube kubo, ewe, kuSirayeli kaThixo. ” (Galati 6: 14-16)
Ngaba apha uPawulos uthetha isikweko, okanye ubhekisa kwenye into. Umbuzo ushiyekile, Siya kuba yintoni na ekwakhiweni ngokutsha uYesu awathetha ngako kuMateyu 19:28?
Singayifumana kancinci loo nto ngokuhlola uYesu. Singayithetha le nto kuba izinto asixelele zona uJohn kwenye yeencwadi zokugqibela zebhayibhile.
". . Bonani uthando olungaka asenzele lona uYise, olu lokuba sibizwe ngokuba singabantwana bakaThixo. Kwaye yile nto siyiyo. Kungenxa yoko le nto ihlabathi lingasazi, ngokuba lingamazanga yena. Zintanda, ngoku singabantwana bakaThixo. Akukabonakali ke into esiya kuba yiyo; Siyazi ukuba xa athe wabonakalaliswa, siya kuba njengaye; ngokuba siya kumbona njengoko anjalo. Bonke abanalo eli themba kuye, bazenza nyulu, njengokuba yena enyulu. (1 Yohane 3: 1-3)
Nantoni na ngoku nguYesu, xa ebonakalayo, uya kuba yile nto ayifunayo ukuze alawule emhlabeni iminyaka eliwaka kwaye abuyisele uluntu kwakhona kusapho lukaThixo. Ngelo xesha, siya kuba njengaye.
Xa uYesu wavuswa nguThixo, wayengenguye umntu, kodwa wayengumoya. Ngaphezu koko, waba ngumoya owawunobomi ngaphakathi kuye, ubomi angabunika abanye.
". . Ngokunjalo kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Owokuqala umntu uAdam waba ngumphefumlo odla ubomi. Owokugqibela uAdam waba ngumoya odlisa ubomi. ” (1 Korinte 15:45)
Kuba njengokuba uYise enabo ubomi kuye ngokwakhe, ngokunjalo wamnika noNyana ukuba abe nobomi kuye. ”(Yohane 5: 26)
Ewe, imfihlelo engcwele yokuhlonela uThixo ivunywa njengekhulu: . '”(1 UTimo 3: 16)
UYesu wavuswa nguThixo, “wavakaliswa elilungisa emoyeni”.
". . .kwazeke kuni nonke, nakubo bonke abantu bakwaSirayeli, ukuba egameni likaYesu Kristu umNazarete, enambethelelayo, kodwa uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo,. . . ” (IZenzo 4: 10)
Nangona kunjalo, kwifomu yakhe evusiweyo, nozukisiweyo, wakwazi ukuphakamisa umzimba. Wabonakaliswa esenyameni.
". . .UYesu ke wathi kubo: "Yidilizeni le tempile, kwaye ngeentsuku ezintathu ndiza kuyivusa." Wayethetha ngetempile yomzimba wakhe. ”(John 46: 2-19)
Qaphela, wakhuliswa nguThixo, kodwa yena-UYesu-wayeza kuphakamisa umzimba wakhe. Oku wakwenza kaninzi, kuba wayengazibonakalisi kubafundi bakhe njengomoya. Abantu abanawo amandla emvakalelo okubona umoya. Ke, uYesu wathabatha inyama ngokuzithandela. Kule fomu, wayengasena moya, kodwa eyindoda. Kubonakala ngathi anganikezela kwaye awunqande umzimba wakhe ngokuthanda. Usenokuvela ngaphandle komoya obhityileyo ... utye, usele, uchukumise kwaye uchukumiseke… emva koko anyamalale abuyele emoyeni. (Jonga uJohn 20: 19-29)
Kwelinye icala, ngalo lonke ixesha uYesu wazibonakalisa koomoya ababesentolongweni, iidemon ezaziphoswe phantsi zaza zavalelwa emhlabeni. (1 Peter 3: 18-20; ISityhi 12: 7-9) Oku, ngewayekwenzile njengomoya.
Isizathu sokuba uYesu abonakale njengomntu yayikukuba wayefuna ukukhathalela iimfuno zabafundi bakhe. Thatha umzekelo ukuphiliswa kukaPeter.
UPeter wayeyindoda eyaphukileyo. Wayesilele iNkosi yakhe. Wayemkhanyele kathathu. Esazi ukuba uPetros kufuneka abuyiselwe ngokomoya, uYesu wenza umzekelo wothando. Ukuma elunxwemeni ngelixa babeloba, wabayalela ukuba baphose umnatha wabo kwicala leenkwenkwezi lesikhephe. Ngephanyazo, umnatha wawuphuphuma ziintlanzi. UPeter waqonda ukuba yiNkosi kwaye waxhuma esikhepheni ukuze adade aye elunxwemeni.
Elunxwemeni wayifumana iNkosi ithe cwaka ihleli umlilo wamalahle. Ngobusuku athe uPetros wakhanyela iNkosi, kwabakho nomlilo wamalahle. (Yohane 18:18) Iqonga labekwa.
UYesu wagcoba ezinye zeentlanzi abazibambisileyo kwaye batya kunye. Kwa-Israyeli, ukutya kunye kwakuthetha ukuba noxolo omnye nomnye. UYesu wayexelela uPetros ukuba baseluxolweni. Emva kwesidlo, uYesu wabuza kuphela uPetros, ukuba uyamthanda na. Akazange ambuze kube kanye, kodwa kathathu. U-Petros wayikhanyele iNkosi izihlandlo ezithathu, ke ngoko ngesiqinisekiso ngasinye sothando lwakhe, wayekulungisa ukukhanyela kwakhe kwangaphambili. Akukho moya unokuyenza le nto. Yayikukunxibelelana komntu nomntu.
Masikukhumbule oko njengoko sihlola oko uThixo akugcinele abanyuliweyo bakhe.
U-Isaya uthetha ngoKumkani oya kulawula ngobulungisa kunye neenkosana eziya kulawula ngobulungisa.
". . Jonga! Ukumkani uya kulawula ngobulungisa,
Kwaye iinkosana ziya kulawula ngobulungisa.
Kwaye ngamnye uya kuba njengendawo yokuzimela umoya,
Indawo yokuzifihla esiphangweni
Njengemijelo yamanzi emhlabeni ongenamanzi,
Njengomthunzi wengxondorha enkulu emhlabeni omile.
(U-Isaya 32: 1, 2)
Singabona ngokulula ukuba uKumkani ekubhekiswa kuye apha nguYesu, kodwa ngoobani iinkosana? Umbutho ufundisa ukuba aba ngabadala, abaveleli besekethe, kunye namalungu ekomiti yesebe abaza kulawula emhlabeni kwiLizwe elitsha.
Kwihlabathi elitsha, uYesu uya kunyula “iinkosana emhlabeni wonke” ukuba zikhokele phakathi kwabanquli bakaYehova emhlabeni. (INdu. 45: 16) Alithandabuzeki elokuba uya kuzikhetha ezininzi kwezi phakathi kwabadala abathembekileyo banamhlanje. Ngenxa yokuba la madoda ezibonisa ukuba ungoku, uya kukhetha ukunika uninzi amalungelo amakhulu ngakumbi kwixesha elizayo xa etyhila indima yenqanaba lenkosi kwilizwe elitsha.
(W99 3 / 1 p. 17 par. 18 "The Temple" and "Chieftain" Today)
"Udidi lwesikhulu" !? Umbutho ubonakala ngathi uyazithanda iiklasi zawo. "Udidi lukaYeremiya", "udidi lukaIsaya", "udidi lwamaYonadabhi"… uluhlu luyaqhubeka. Ngaba sikholelwa ngenene ukuba u-Yehova waphefumlela u-Isaya ukuba aprofete ngoYesu njengoKumkani, weqe wonke umzimba kaKrestu-aBantwana bakaThixo-kwaye ubhale ngabadala, abaveleli besiphaluka, kunye nabadala baseBheteli bamaNgqina kaYehova?! Ngaba abadala bebandla bakhe babizwa ngokuba ziinkosana eBhayibhileni? Abo babizwa ngokuba ziinkosana okanye ookumkani ngabanyuliweyo, abantwana bakaThixo abathanjisiweyo, kwaye emva koko, baya kuvuselwa eluzukweni. U-Isaya wayebhekisa kwisiprofeto kuSirayeli kaThixo, abantwana bakaThixo, hayi abantu abangafezekanga.
Oko kuthethiweyo, baya kusebenza njani njengemithombo ehlaziyayo yamanzi anika ubomi kunye neengxondorha ezikhuselayo? Iya kuba yintoni imfuneko yezinto ezinjalo ukuba, njengoko umbutho ubanga njalo, uMhlaba oMtsha uya kuba yiparadesi kwasekuqaleni?
Khawuve ukuba uthini uPawulos malunga nezi nkosana okanye ookumkani.
". . .Kuba indalo ilindele ngolangazelelo olukhulu ukutyhilwa koonyana bakaThixo. Kuba indalo yathotyelwa kokuphuthileyo, kungengakuthanda kwayo, kodwa kungokuthanda kwayo, ngenxa yethemba lokuba indalo ngokwayo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala, babe nenkululeko ezukileyo yabantwana bakaThixo. . Siyazi ukuba yonke indalo iyagcuma kwaye isentlungwini de kube ngoku. ”(KwabaseRoma 8: 19-22)
"Indalo" ibonwa yahlukile "Kubantwana bakaThixo". Indalo athetha ngayo uPawulos iwile, ubuntu obungafezekanga- ukungalungisi. Aba asingobantwana bakaThixo, kodwa bahlukanisiwe noThixo, kwaye bafuna uxolelwaniso. Aba bantu, kwizigidigidi zabo, baya kuvuselwa emhlabeni kunye nabo bonke ubuthathaka babo, umkhethe, iintsilelo, kunye nemithwalo yeemvakalelo efanelekileyo. UThixo akonakalisi ngenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Kuya kufuneka beze ngokwabo, bathathe isigqibo ngokuzithandela kwabo ukwamkela amandla okuhlawulela kaKristu.
NjengoYesu ngoPetros, aba baya kufuna inkathalo ngothando ukuze babuyiselwe kwimeko yobabalo lukaThixo. Le iya kuba yindima yombingeleli. Abanye abayi kwamkela, baya kuvukela. Isandla esomeleleyo nesomeleleyo siyakufuneka ukugcina uxolo nokukhusela abo bazithobayo phambi koThixo. Le yindima yeeKumkani. Kodwa konke oku kuyindima yabantu, hayi iingelosi. Le ngxaki yomntu ayisayi kusonjululwa ziingelosi, kodwa ngabantu, abakhethwe nguThixo, bavavanywa ukuba bayafaneleka na, banikwa amandla nobulumko bokulawula nokuphilisa.
Isishwankathelo
Ukuba ufuna iimpendulo ezichanekileyo malunga nokuba siza kuhlala phi kwaye siyakuba ngubani na kanye emva kokuba sifumene umvuzo wethu, ndiyaxolisa kuba ndingakwazi ukubanika. INkosi ayikutyhilanga kuthi ezi zinto. Njengoko uPawulos wathi:
". . Okwangoku sibona ngokufipheleyo ngesipili sesinyithi, kodwa ke siya kujongana ubuso ngobuso. Okwangoku ndiyazi ngokuyinxenye, kodwa ke ndiya kwazi ngokuchanekileyo, njengoko ndisaziwa ngokuchanekileyo. ”
(I-1 Kor. 13: 12)
Ndingatsho ukuba akukho bungqina bucacileyo bokuba siyakuphila ezulwini, kodwa ubuninzi bobungqina buxhasa umbono wokuba siza kuba semhlabeni. Oko kukuthi, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, indawo yoluntu.
Ngaba siya kukwazi ukutshintsha phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba, phakathi kwendawo yokomoya nomhlaba? Ngubani onokuthi ngokuqinisekileyo? Oko kubonakala kuyinto enokwenzeka.
Abanye banokubuza, kodwa kuthekani ukuba andifuni ukuba ngukumkani nombingeleli? Kuthekani ukuba ndifuna ukuhlala emhlabeni njengomntu ophakathi?
Nantsi into endiyaziyo. UYehova uThixo, ngonyana wakhe uYesu Krestu, usinika ithuba lokuba ngabantwana abamkelweyo ngoku kwimo yethu yangoku yesono. UJohn 1: 12 uthi:
Kodwa ke, kubo bonke abo bamamkelayo, wabanika igunya lokuba ngabantwana bakaThixo, kuba babebonisa ukholo egameni lakhe. ”(Yohane 1: 12)
Nawuphi na umvuzo oyifumanayo, nokuba yeyiphi na imizimba yethu emitsha, iya kuThixo. Usenzela into ebonakalayo kwaye kubonakala ngathi asibobulumko bokuwubuza, ukuze athethe athi, "Kulungile, nguThixo, kodwa yintoni esemva komnyango wesibini?"
Masibeke nje ukholo kwizinto eziyinyani nangona zingabonwa, ukuthembela kuBawo wethu onothando ukusenza sonwabe ngaphaya kwamaphupha ethu amabi.
Njengoko u-Forrest Gump watsho, "Yile nto yonke endiyithethayo ngayo."
