“Kwangathi Sonke Singaba Simunye Njengoba UJehova NoJesu Bebamunye”

[Kusuka ku-ws 6 / 18 p. I-8 - Agasti 13 - Agasti 19]

"Ngicela ... ukuthi bonke babe munye, njengoba nawe, Baba, usebunyeni nami." - UJohn 17: 20,21.

Ngaphambi kokuqala isibuyekezo sethu, ngithanda ukusho i-athikili engafundwanga elandela le ndatshana yokufunda kuJuni 2018 Umagazini Ofundwayo We-Nqabayokulinda. Inesihloko esithi “Wayengathandwa NguNkulunkulu”, ekhuluma ngesibonelo sikaRehobhowamu. Kuyafaneleka ukufundwa, ngoba kuyisibonelo esingavamile sokwaziswa okuhle kombhalo ngaphandle kokukhetha noma i-ajenda efihliwe, futhi ngenxa yalokho okuqukethwe kuyo kunenzuzo kithi sonke.

Lo mbhalo waleli sonto uphathelene nobandlululo futhi unqobe ukuba bahlale bemanyene. Lokhu kuwumgomo otusekayo, kodwa ukuthi iNhlangano iphumelela kangakanani ake sihlolisise.

Isingeniso (Par. 1-3)

Isigaba 1 empeleni siyakuvuma lokho “Uthando luzoba uphawu lwabafundi bakaJesu beqiniso” icaphuna uJohn 13: 34-35, kodwa kuphela lapho “kungaba nomthelela ebunyeni babo ”.  Ngokusobala, ngaphandle kothando kunokubumbana okuncane noma abukho njengoba umphostoli uPawulu akhombisa lapho exoxa nothando ku-1 Korion 13: 1-13.

UJesu wayekhathazekile ngabafundi ababekade bephikisane kaningi “Ngubani kubo owayebhekwa njengomkhulu kunabo bonke” (Luka 22: 24-27, Marku 9: 33-34) ” (par. 2). Lesi ngesinye sezisongo ezinkulu ebunyeni babo, kepha i-athikili ifisa ukusho kuphela futhi idlulisele ekuxoxeni ngobandlululo okuyihloko yalo enkulu.

Kodwa-ke namhlanje sinezikhundla eziphelele zokuvelela abafowethu abazelulela zona ngaphakathi kweNhlangano. Lesi sigaba sabaphathi sizokhishwa ngokuthi, “Sonke singabazalwane”; kepha ukuba khona kwayo, noma ngabe kwaklanywa noma kwenzeka ngengozi, kukhuthaza isimo sengqondo sokuthi ngingaphezu kwakho-umqondo uJesu ayezama ukulwa nawo.

Uma uke wafunda Ipulazi lezilwane nguGeorge Orwell, ungahle ubone le mantra elandelayo: "Zonke izilwane ziyalingana, kodwa ezinye izilwane ziyalingana kunezinye". Lokhu kunjalo ngeNhlangano YoFakazi BakaJehova. Kanjani? Kubo bobabili abafowethu nodadewethu, amaphayona asizayo alingana kakhulu kunabamemezeli; amaphayona avamile ayalingana kunamaphayona asizayo; amaphayona akhethekile alingana kakhulu kunamaphayona avamile. Kubazalwane, izinceku ezikhonzayo zilingana ngaphezu kwabamemezeli abavamile; abadala bayalingana kunezinceku ezikhonzayo; ababonisi besifunda balingana ngisho nangaphezu kwabadala; iNdikimba Ebusayo ilingana kakhulu kunabo bonke. (Mathewu 23: 1-11).

Lokhu kuvame ukudala amaqenjana emabandleni oFakazi BakaJehova. Isigaba sabaphathi senhlangano sizala ubandlululo esikhundleni sokukuqeda.

Ubandlululo uJesu Nabo Abalandeli Bakhe Ababhekene Nalo (Par. 4-7)

Ngemuva kokudingida ubandlululo uJesu nabalandeli bakhe ababhekana nalo, isigaba 7 siqokomisa:

"UJesu wabhekana kanjani nabo [ubandlululo bosuku]? Okokuqala, wenqaba ubandlululo, ngokungakhethi ngokuphelele. Washumayeza abacebile nabampofu, abaFarisi namaSamariya, ngisho nabathelisi nezoni. Okwesibili, ngokufundisa nangesibonelo sakhe, uJesu watshengisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi kufanele banqobe ukusolwa noma ukungabekezeleli abanye. ”

Indlela yesithathu ilahlekile. Isigaba kufanele sengeze: 'Okwesithathu, ngokwenza kwakhe izimangaliso kwabacebile nabampofu, umFarisi nomSamariya nomJuda, ngisho nabathelisi nezoni.'

UMathewu 15: 21-28 ubika ngowesifazane waseFenike owayephulukise indodakazi yakhe eyayikhwelwe amademoni. Wavusa umfana omncane kwabafileyo (indodana yomfelokazi waseNayini); intombazanyana, indodakazi kaJayiru, umphathi wesinagoge; kanye nomngane omkhulu uLazaru. Ezikhathini eziningi, wayefisa ukuthi umamukeli walesi simangaliso abonise ukukholwa, noma ukukholwa kwabo noma ukuntula kwabo kwakungeyona imfuneko. Wakhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi wayengenabandlululo. Ukungazimiseli kwakhe ukusiza owesifazane waseFenike kwakuhambisana nomsebenzi wakhe ogunyazwe ngokwaphezulu ukusabalalisa izindaba ezinhle kuqala nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Noma kunjalo nalapha, "wagoba imithetho", ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, ethanda ukwenza isihe. Yeka isibonelo esihle asibonisa sona!

Ukunqoba Ubandlululo Ngothando Nokuthobeka (Par.8-11)

Isigaba 8 siqala ngokusikhumbuza ukuthi uJesu wathi, "Nonke nina ningabafowethu". (UMathewu 23: 8-9) Kuyaqhubeka:

"UJesu wachaza ukuthi abafundi bakhe babengabafowabo nodadewabo ngoba babemazi uJehova njengoYise osezulwini. (UMathewu 12: 50) ”

Njengoba lokhu kunjalo, kungani-ke sibizana ngokuthi mfowethu nodadewethu, kepha senza umqondo wokuthi kuphela abanye bethu abangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Uma, njengomunye wezinye izimvu, “ungumngane kaNkulunkulu” (ngokusho kwezincwadi), ungabiza kanjani-ke izingane “zomngane” wakho njengabafowenu nodadewenu? (Galathiya 3:26, Roma 9:26)

Sidinga ukuthobeka njengoba uJesu aqokomisa kuMathewu 23: 11-12 — umbhalo ofundwe esigabeni 9.

“Kepha omkhulu kini makabe yisikhonzi senu. Noma ngubani oziphakamisayo uzothotshiswa, futhi noma ubani ozithobayo uzophakanyiswa. ”(Mt 23: 11, 12)

AmaJuda ayeziqhenya ngoba ayeno-Abrahama njengobaba wawo, kepha uJohane uMbhapathizi wawakhumbuza lokho okungawanikanga amalungelo akhethekile. Ngempela, uJesu wabikezela ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi amaJuda emvelo ayengeke amamukele njengoMesiya, ilungelo ababezonikezwa lalingeke lidluliselwe kwabeZizwe — “ezinye izimvu ezingezona zalesi sibaya” uJesu akhuluma ngazo kuJohane 10:16.

Lokhu kwagcwaliseka kusukela ku-36 CE njengoba kubhalwe kuzEnzo 10: 34 lapho ngemuva kokubingelelwa nguKorneliyu umphathi wamasosha amaRoma, uMphostoli uPhetro wathi ngokuzithoba “ngiyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakhethi” [akanakho ukubandlulula].

Izenzo 10: I-44 iyaqhubeka, "Ngesikhathi uPhetro esakhuluma ngalezi zinto uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo bonke abezwa izwi. Ngalesi sikhathi lapho uJesu ngoMoya oNgcwele waletha izimvu ezingezona ezingamaJuda ebandleni lobuKristu futhi wazihlanganisa ngalokho uMoya ofanayo. Akubanga isikhathi eside ngemuva kwalokho uPawulu noBarnaba bathunyelwa okokuqala kuhambo lwabo lobufundisi, ngokuyinhloko kwabeZizwe.

Isigaba 10 sixoxa kafushane umzekeliso womSamariya Olungileyo ekhomba uLuka 10: 25-37. Lo mfanekiso ubephendula umbuzo obuzwe ukuthi “Ubani ngempela umakhelwane wami?” (V29).

UJesu wasebenzisa amadoda ayebhekwa njengabangcwelengcwele kulabo ababemlalele — abapristi namaLevi — lapho ebonisa isimo sengqondo sokungabi naluthando okufanele sigwenywe. Wabe esekhetha umSamariya — iqembu elalibukelwa phansi amaJuda — njengesibonelo sakhe somuntu onothando.

Namuhla iNhlangano inabafelokazi nabafelwa abaningi abadinga usizo nokunakekelwa, kepha ngokujwayelekile amabandla amatasa kakhulu ukuwasiza ngenxa yokuthanda kakhulu ukushumayela ngazo zonke izindlela. Njengasosukwini lukaJesu, ukubonakala ulungile njengompristi nomLevi kubaluleke kakhulu kwiNhlangano kunokulekelela labo abaswele ngokwenza okuza kuqala kunalokho "imisebenzi yenhlangano" njengokuya enkonzweni yasensimini yangempelasonto. Ukushumayela ukuthula nomusa akulutho, kuyabheda uma kungasekelwa yimisebenzi.

Isigaba 11 sisikhumbuza ukuthi lapho uJesu ethumela abafundi bakhe ukuyofakaza emva kokuvuka kwakhe, wabathuma “Nikeza ubufakazi 'kulo lonke iJudiya neSamariya nasezingxenyeni ezikude kakhulu zomhlaba.' (Izenzo 1: 8) ” Ngakho-ke abafundi kwakudingeka babeke eceleni ubandlululo ukuze bashumayeze amaSamariya. ULuka 4: 25-27 (ucashunwe) uloba ngamandla uJesu etshela lawo maJuda esinagogeni eKapernawume ukuthi umfelokazi waseSidoniya uZarapheth noNahamani waseSyria babusiswa ngezimangaliso ngoba babengabamukeli abafanele ngenxa yokholo nezenzo zabo. Kwakunama-Israyeli angenalukholo futhi ngenxa yalokho ayengafaneleki ayenganakwa.

Ukulwa Nobandlululo Ngekhulu Lokuqala (Par.12-17)

Ekuqaleni abafundi babekuthola kunzima ukubeka eceleni ukubandlulula kwabo. Kepha uJesu wabanika isifundo esinamandla endabeni yowesifazane waseSamariya emthonjeni. Abaholi benkolo bamaJuda bangaleso sikhathi bebengeke bakhulume nowesifazane obala. Ngokuqinisekile babengeke bakhulume nowesifazane waseSamariya nalowo owayaziwa ukuthi uziphethe kabi. Kepha uJesu waba nengxoxo ende naye. UJohn 4: I-27 iqopha abafundi bamangala lapho bemthola ekhuluma nowesifazane ngasemthonjeni. Le ngxoxo iholele ekutheni uJesu ahlale izinsuku ezimbili kulowo muzi futhi amaSamariya amaningi aba amakholwa.

Isigaba 14 sicaphuna incwadi yeZenzo 6: 1 eyenzeke kungekudala kwePhentekhosti le-33 CE, yathi:

“Ngalezo zinsuku lapho abafundi banda, amaJuda akhuluma isiGreki aqala ukukhononda ngamaJuda ayekhuluma isiHeberu, ngoba abafelokazi bawo babeshaywa mkhuba ekusatshalisweni kwansuku zonke.”

I-akhawunti ayibhali ukuthi kungani lokhu kwenzeka, kodwa kusobala ukuthi ubandlululo oluthile lwalusebenza. Ngisho nanamuhla ubandlululo lususelwa kunkulumo, ulimi noma amasiko. Njengoba abaPhostoli beyixazulula le nkinga ngokuba nomqondo olungile futhi babeke nesixazululo esamukelekayo kubo bonke, ngokufanayo kudingeka siqinisekise ukuthi ukuphathwa ngendlela encomekayo emaqenjini athile, njengamaphayona, noma abadala nemindeni yabo, akungena ngendlela yethu ukukhuleka. (Izenzo 6: 3-6)

Kodwa-ke, isifundo esikhulu kunazo zonke novivinyo olunzima kunazo zonke lwafika nge-36 CE, ikakhulukazi kumPostoli uPeter kanye namaKristu angamaJuda. Kwakuwukwamukela abeZizwe ebandleni lobuKristu. Isahluko sonke seZenzo 10 siyakufanelekela ukusifunda nokuzindla ngaso, kepha lesi sihloko nje sibonisa ukuthi ukufunda nge-X.UMX, i-28, ne-34. Ingxenye ebalulekile engashiwongo ngeZenzo 35: 10-10 lapho uPeter abenombono wezinto ezingcolile uJesu amtshela ukuthi azidle ngokugcizelela kathathu ukuthi akufanele akubize ngokungcolile lokho iNkosi eyakubize ngokuthi kuhlanzekile.

Isigaba 16 noma sinikeza ukudla okuningi ngomcabango. Ithi:

"Nakuba kwathatha isikhathi, balungisa indlela yabo yokucabanga. AmaKristu okuqala aba nedumela lokuthandana. UTertullian, umbhali wekhulu lesibili, wacaphuna abantu ababengewona amaKristu bethi: “Bayathandana. . . Bakulungele ngisho nokufelana. ” Egqoke “ubuntu obusha,” amaKristu okuqala abheka bonke abantu njengabalinganayo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu. — Kolose 3:10, 11 ”

AmaKhristu ekhulu lokuqala nelesibili aba nothando olunjalo omunye ngomunye kangangokuba lokhu kwaphawulwa yilabo ababengewona amaKristu ababazungezile. Ngayo yonke inhlekisa, ukuhleba nokuhleba okwenzeka emabandleni amaningi, kungashiwo okufanayo namuhla?

Ubandlululo Lubuna Njengokukhula Kothando (Par.18-20)

Uma sifuna ukuhlakanipha okuvela phezulu njengoba kuchaziwe kuJakobe 3: 17-18, siyokwazi ukuqeda ubandlululo ezinhliziyweni nasezingqondweni zethu. UJakobe wabhala, “Kepha ukuhlakanipha kwaphezulu okokuqala kumsulwa, bese kunokuthula, kuyabonelela, kulungele ukulalela, kugcwele isihe nezithelo ezinhle, akukhethi, akuzenzisi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isithelo sokulunga sihlwanyelwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezinokuthula kulabo abenza ukuthula. ”

Masilwele ukusebenzisa lesi seluleko, ukuba singakhethi noma sibonisa ubandlululo kodwa kube nokuthula futhi kube nokuqonda. Uma sikwenza lokho uKristu uzofuna ukuba nobunye nohlobo lomuntu esibe ngalo, hhayi manje kuphela kepha kuze kube phakade. Ngempela ithemba elihle. (I-2 Korion 13: 5-6)
