KuYohane 3:14, Wathi uYesu, njengokuba uMoses wayiphakamisayo inyoka entlango, Nangona kunjalo, umelwe kukuthi aphakanyiswe uNyana woMntu: ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kwakutheni ukuze inyoka yobhedu ibe sisithunzi sokufa kukaYesu emnqamlezweni?
Kwakutheni ukuze abantu bakaThixo bahlaselwe ziinyoka ezinomlilo?
Banduluka entabeni yeHore ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu, ukuba ajikeleze ilizwe lakwaEdom: kwaye umphefumlo wabantu waphela amandla ngenxa yaloo ndlela. Bathetha abantu ngoThixo, nakuMoses, Yini na ukuba nisinyuse eYiputa, size kufela entlango?? ngokuba akukho sonka, akukho manzi; umphefumlo wethu udimele esi sonka sikhaphukhaphu. UYehova wathumela iinyoka ezinobuhlungu ebantwini, baluma abantu; kwafa abantu abaninzi bakwaSirayeli.Beza ke abantu kuMoses, watsho, Sonile, ngokuba sithethe ngoYehova nangawe; thandazani kuYehova, ukuba azisuse kuthi iinyoka. Wabathandazela ke uMoses abantu. Wathi uYehova kuMoses, uzenze inyoka enobuhlungu, uyixhome esibondeni: kwaye kuya kwenzeka, ukuba wonke umntu olunyiweyo, xa eyijongile, uya kuphila. Wenza uMoses inyoka yobhedu, uyixhome epalini, kwaye kwenzeka, ukuba umntu uthe walunywa yinyoka, wayibona inyoka yobhedu, wahlala (Amanani 21:4-9)
UThixo wabakhokela abantu bakhe ngendlela ababengafuni ukuhamba ngayo, kwaye ngenxa yoko, badimazeka. Babenganelisekanga; ke ngoko, bammbombozela baza bamkhalazela uMoses noThixo baza beza nento eqhelekileyo ethi ‘kutheni’.
AmaSirayeli ayenganelisekanga yaye engavuyiswa licebo likaThixo nazo zonke izinto ezaziza kwenzeka. Abazange bamthembe uYehova kwaye bathembele kumazwi akhe, kodwa babenganelisekanga licebo likaThixo, UThixo ukhokela, kunye nezithembiso zikaThixo.
Bakhalazela ukungabi nasonka namanzi kwaye babesonyanya eso sonka sikhaphukhaphu, uThixo ebelungiselela imihla ngemihla.
Ngenxa yako konke ukukhalaza nokumbombozela, ukuthetha nxamnye noThixo noMoses, bazisa ububi (ububi) phezu kwabo.
Ngenxa yesibakala sokuba abantu bakaThixo bamvukelayo uThixo, UThixo wabajikela abantu bakhe waza wayisusa inkuselo yakhe waza wabanikela kumlawuli wabo; inyoka, umchasi kaThixo, bemphulaphula ke abantu, bakhokelwa.
Xa uThixo wathumela iinyoka ezinobuhlungu ebantwini baza abantu balunywa ziinyoka kwafa abaninzi, wabonakalaliswa okomoya ngokwasenyameni.
Abangendawo balola ulwimi lwabo njengenyoka;
okunene nithetha ubulungisa;, Owu bandla? nagwebayo ngokuthe tye, Nina nyana babantu? Ewe, entliziyweni nenza ububi; nibulinganisela ehlabathini ugonyamelo lwezandla zenu. Abangendawo bangabasemzini kwasesizalweni: Baye balahleka ekuba nje bezelwe, ukuthetha ubuxoki. Ubuhlungu babo bunjengobuhlungu benyoka: bafana nerhamba elisisithulu, elivingca indlebe yalo; Ongayi kuliphulaphula izwi labakhafuli, umtsalane zange ngobulumko (Iindumiso 58:1-5)
Ndihlangule, INkosi, kumntu okhohlakeleyo: Ndigcine kumfo ogonyamelayo; Abacinga ububi entliziyweni yabo;; ngamaxesha onke babuthelana imfazwe. Balola ulwimi lwabo njengenyoka;; iinyoka’ Ubuhlungu buphantsi komlomo wabo. Iidolophana (Iindumiso 140:1-3)
Abantu bakaThixo abazange baguqulwe kwaye abazange bahlaziye iingqondo zabo ngamazwi nemithetho kaThixo kwaye babengawuthandi umthetho kwaye bawenza umthetho kaThixo owabo.
Endaweni yokuzithoba kuThixo nokukhokelwa ngamazwi akhe nentando yakhe, abantu babekhokelwa yintando kunye nendalo kasathana aka inyoka, bamjikela uThixo, bamona uThixo ngamazwi abo.
Ke uMoses wayiphakamisa inyoka yobhedu entlango
Kodwa amaSirayeli aguquka ezonweni zawo, ezo azithethe nxamnye noYehova noMoses, baza bacela uMoses ukuba athandaze kuThixo ukuba azisuse kubo iinyoka.
UMoses wabathandazela abantu kuThixo, uThixo wamva uMoses’ umthandazo waza wawuphendula umthandazo wakhe, wabazisa usindiso abantu.
UThixo wayalela uMoses ukuba enze inyoka enobuhlungu aze ayibeke esibondeni. UMoses wawathobela amazwi kaThixo, wenza inyoka yobhedu, wayixhoma inyoka yobhedu esibondeni., yaza yaphakanyiswa inyoka yobhedu entlango.
Wonke umntu owalunywayo waza wayikhangela inyoka yobhedu wayeya kuphila
Wonke umntu olunywe yinyoka waza wajonga kwinyoka yobhedu esibondeni, akafanga, kodwa waphila.
Kwaye ke uThixo wazisa usindiso (ukuphilisa) ngenyoka yobhedu kunye nezo, owakholwa wawathobela amazwi kaThixo, wakhangela phezu kwenyoka yobhedu, wahlala ephila.
Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo ayalele uMoses ukuba enze inyoka yobhedu? Inyoka nguyise ka (iwile) uluntu. Isizukulwana somntu owileyo sinesimo esikhohlakeleyo sikasathana (inyoka).
Inyoka yobhedu epalini, ubeya kubakhumbula abantu abakreqayo, nezono zabo, indlela ababethetha ngayo nxamnye noThixo noMoses, neenyoka ezinobuhlungu nendlela uThixo awaluzisa ngayo usindiso (ukuphilisa) kwabo, owawathobelayo amazwi akhe, wayikhangela inyoka yobhedu emthini.
Umzuzu, xa inyoka yaba nguyise woluntu
Nangona uAdam wahamba noThixo kumyezo wase-Eden, kwafika ixesha apho uAdam waye wangamthobeli uThixo wakholwa ngamazwi kasathana, owafika kuye ngenyoka nangoEva, ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo waza wathobela amazwi kasathana ngokutya kwisiqhamo esalelweyo.
Ngokuthobela kwakhe umtyholi (inyoka), wanikezela kumtyholi kwangena ukufa waza umoya wakhe wafa (waba phantsi kwegunya lokufa) kwaye wahlala emandleni kaMtyholi.
Ngesenzo sakhe sokungathobeli uThixo, U-Adam wayewile kwisikhundla sakhe kwaye wayenjalo (ngokomoya) wahlukanisiwe noThixo waza waba ngumchasi kaThixo.
Inyoka, umtyholi, waba nguyise wendoda ewileyo nayo yonke into, owayeza kuzalwa embewini yomntu, wayeza kuzalwa engumoni kwaye aphile kumandla kasathana nobumnyama.
Ukususela ngelo xesha isono nokufa kwalawula njengokumkani kubomi boluntu oluwileyo (aboni).
Kodwa uThixo wayesele enecebo lokuhlangula uluntu oluwileyo, ukuhlangula uluntu kumandla kasathana, nesono nokufa. UThixo wathembisa ukuba imbewu yomfazi yayiza kutyumza intloko yenyoka ize inyoka iyityumze isithende. (IGenesis 3).
Nangona kunjalo, oku akuzange kwenzeke ngoko nangoko, kodwa yathatha ixesha elide, ngaphambi kokuba uThixo athumele uNyana wakhe uYesu Krestu emhlabeni ngenxa yothando ukuze akhulule uluntu oluwileyo kumandla kasathana aze axolelanise umntu abuyele kuye. (Funda kwakhona: Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba intloko kasathana yatyunyuzwa ngenxa yokuba isithende sikaYesu satyunyuzwa?)
UYesu weza emhlabeni ukuze akhulule aboni kumandla enyoka
Khangela, Umkhonzi wam uya kwenza ngengqiqo, Uya kuphakanyiswa, azukiswe;, kwaye ube phezulu kakhulu. bathi nqa nguwe abaninzi; Ubuso bakhe bonakele ngaphezu kwakhe nawuphi na umntu, nokumila kwakhe kunoonyana babantu: ngokunjalo yena uya kubetha zithi makatha iintlanga ezininzi;; ookumkani baya kuthi khamnqa kuye: kuba baya kukubona abangazanga bakubaliselwe; bakugqale abangazanga bakuve (uIsaya 52:13-15)
okholiweyo ludaba lwethu;? nengalo yeNkosi yatyhilelwa kuye? Ngokuba uya kuhluma phambi kwakhe njengohlaza;, nanjengengcambu kumhlaba owomileyo: akanasimo nabungangamsha; naxa siya kuMbona, akukho nzwakazi ukuba simnqwenele. Udeliwe, ushiyiwe ngabantu; umntu wosizi, kwaye uqhelene nentlungu: kwaye sabusithelisa ubuso bethu kuye; Wayedeliwe, besingamxabisanga. Inene, uzithwele umvandedwa wethu, wazithwala iintsizi zethu: kanti besiba Ubethiweyo, obethwa nguThixo, nabaxhwalekileyo. Kodwa uhlatywe ngenxa yezikreqo zethu, Watyunyuzwa ngenxa yezenzo zethu ezigwenxa: ubetho lokuba sibe noxolo thina lube phezu kwakhe; kwaye ngemivumbo yaKhe siphilisiwe.
Thina sonke silahlekile njengeegusha; siye sajika saya elowo endleleni yakhe; ke uYehova wamwela phezu kwakhe ubugwenxa bethu sonke. Wacinezelwa, waxhwaleka, akawuvula umlomo wakhe: Njengemvana esiwa ekuxhelweni, nanjengegusha esisidenge phambi kwabachebi bayo, Akawuvuli umlomo wakhe.
Wakhutshwa entolongweni nasekugwetyweni: Ngubani na oya kusixela isizukulwana sakhe? ngokuba wanqunyulwa ezweni labaphilileyo: ngenxa yokreqo lwabantu bam wabethwa.
Ulenze nabangendawo ingcwaba lakhe, nabazizityebi ekufeni kwakhe; ngokuba engenzanga lugonyamelo, akwabakho nkohliso emlonyeni wakhe.
Noko ke kwakholeka kuYehova ukumtyumza; Umenze buhlungu: xa uthe umphefumlo wakhe wawenza idini lesono, Uya kuyibona imbewu yakhe, Uya kuyolula imihla yakhe, kwaye ukuthanda kukaYehova kuya kuphumelela esandleni sakhe. Uya kukubona ukwaphuka komphefumlo wakhe, kwaye siya kwaneliswa: ngokwazi kwakhe umkhonzi wam olilungisa uya kugwebela abaninzi; Uya kubuthwala ubugwenxa babo.
ngoko ke ndiya kumabela isahlulo nabakhulu, uya kwabela amaxhoba nabanamandla; ngokuba ewuthulule umphefumlo wakhe ekufeni: Wabalwa kunye nabakreqi; Yena wasithwala isono sabaninzi, kwaye wabathethelela abakreqi (uIsaya 53)
Ke ngoko uYesu weza emhlabeni emfanekisweni womntu ukuze akhulule umntu emandleni enyoka (umtyholi).
UYesu walingana noluntu yaye wahendwa kuzo zonke izinto, kanti akanasono, ukuze uYesu abe nguMbambeli woluntu oluwileyo. Kungenxa yokuba ukuba uYesu wayengalingani noluntu, kwaye kwafuneka ukuba ahendwe ngezinto zonke, UYesu wayengenako ukuthatha indawo yoluntu kwaye wayengenakuba nguMbambeli woluntu kwaye athwale izono kunye nobugwenxa boluntu (uIsaya 53, Hebhere 2:14-18 (Funda kwakhona: Uxolo olubuyiselwe phakathi komntu owileyo noThixo kwaye UYesu wayengumntu ngokupheleleyo?)).
UYesu, uNyana woMntu, waphakanyiswa emnqamlezweni
UYesu wabethwa ngendlela embi ngolo hlobo, nokuba ubuso bakhe badyobhekile, nembonakalo yakhe yayingasenamntu. Emva koko uYesu waphakanyiswa emnqamlezweni. UYesu wathwala zonke izono kunye nobugwenxa boluntu, awayeyibeke phezu kwakhe uYehova, kwaye wenziwa isono waza waba sisiqalekiso emnqamlezweni (Funda kwakhona: Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu abethelelwe emnqamlezweni? kwayeNgaba umKristu angaphila phantsi kwesiqalekiso?)
Nangona uYesu wenza ukuthanda kukaThixo waza wamkholisa uYise, kwaye oku konke kwakuyinxalenye yomsebenzi kaThixo wokuhlangula uluntu oluwileyo, abantu bamgqala uYesu njengobethiweyo, obethwa nguThixo, nabaxhwalekileyo (Owu. uIsaya 53:4)
UYesu wawugqiba umsebenzi wakhe emnqamlezweni, wangena eHadesi ukuba athabathe amandla okufa nesihogo (IHadesi) uwakhulule amabanjwa okufa, kwaye wavuka kwabafileyo enezitshixo zeSihogo nokufa (ISityhilelo 1:18).
UYesu waphakanyiswa kakhulu nguYise
Mayibe kuwe le ngqondo, owayekunye naye uKristu Yesu: I-WHO, ekubumeni bukaThixo, Ukulingana noThixo kwakungekuko ukuphanga: Kodwa wazenza igama elingenamsebenzi, wathabatha ubume bomkhonzi kuye, Kwaye wenziwa wafana nabantu: Kwaye ukufunyanwa kwifashoni njengendoda, Wazithoba, waba ngolulamileyo, wada wesa ekufeni, nokufa komnqamlezo. Kungoko athe uThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu;, wamnika igama elingaphezu kwawo onke amagama: Ukuze eGameni likaYesu onke amadolo aguqe, kwizinto ezisezulwini, nezinto ezisemhlabeni, nezinto eziphantsi komhlaba; zithi zonke iilwimi zixele ukuba uYesu Kristu uyiNkosi, ukuba kuzukiswe uThixo uYise (KwabaseFilipi 2:5-11)
Emva koko 40 iintsuku, UYesu wenyuka waya ezulwini, apho uYesu waphakanyiselwa phezulu nguYise waza wahlala etroneni ngasekunene kukaYise, ngaphezu kwayo yonke inqununu, amandla, amandla, kunye nolawulo (Kwabase-Efese 1:19-21).
Wonke umntu, okholelwa kuYesu Krestu nakumsebenzi Wakhe wentlawulelo aze aguquke kwaye azalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya, abasayi kuba sadla ubomi emandleni kaMtyholi (inyoka) namandla esono nokufa, ekungamthobelini uThixo, kodwa kuya kuba bafuduswe egunyeni likaMtyholi, basiwa ebukumkanini bukaThixo, apho uYesu Kristu enguKumkani yaye elawula, kwaye baya kuxolelaniswa noThixo kwaye benziwe amalungisa kwaye bazuze ubomi obungunaphakade.
Ngokungathobeli komntu kuThixo, inyoka yazala umntu owileyo, kodwa ngako ukulululamela kukaYesu Kristu kuye uYise, noYesu ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, umntu wayeya kuxolelaniswa noThixo aze uThixo abe nguYise womntu omtsha (AmaRoma 5 kwaye 6).
Inyoka yobhedu yalatha kuYesu Kristu, Ozisa usindiso nobomi obungunaphakade
Njengoko uMoses wayiphakamisayo inyoka entlango, kwangokunjalo umelwe kukuthi aphakanyiswe uNyana woMntu: Ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ukuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kuba uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini, ukuze aligwebe ihlabathi; ukuze ihlabathi lisindiswe ngaye. Lowo ukholwayo kuye, akagwetywa: ke lowo ungakholwayo, uselegwetyiwe, ngokuba engakholwanga kwigana loNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo uThixo (UYohane 3:14-18)
UYesu akazange eze emhlabeni ukuze agwebe uluntu, kodwa kukusindisa uluntu. Ngokuba wonke umntu uwile, wonke umntu ungumoni kwaye uchatshazelwa bububi (imvelo yesono), ngamanye amazwi, ulunywe yinyoka, kwaye ngoko wonke umntu udinga usindiso. UThixo ulungiselele usindiso loluntu ngoNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu. UYesu weza wanika (kwaye usanika) umntu ukhetho lobomi okanye ukufa.
ngokuba, njengokuba yaphakanyiswa nguMoses inyoka yobhedu entlango, wazisa usindiso ekufeni, wabadlisa ubomi abo, ababekholelwa emazwini kaThixo baza bajonga phezu kwenyoka, Nangona kunjalo, wenza uYesu Kristu, owaphakanyiswa emnqamlezweni eKalvari, lizisa usindiso emandleni enyoka (umtyholi), ukufa, nobumnyama wabanika ubomi obungunaphakade, abakholwayo kuye bazalwe ngokutsha kuye.
Kwaye ngoko uYesu waba nguMbambeli, Ihambisa, Msindisi, Umphilisi, Umbhali, neNkosi yomntu omtsha, ozithoba eLizwini aze aphulaphule uYesu kwaye athobele kwaye enze amazwi aKhe kwaye aphile kwintando kaBawo.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
