Igazi LikaJesu Eliyigugu

Wagcina nini ukuzwa intshumayelo noma ukucula ingoma ngegazi likaJesu? Amanye amasonto namuhla athola lo mqondo uyisidala noma unyantisa. Izingoma ezikhuluma “ngegazi” sezikhishiwe nasezincwadini zamaculo. Nokho ngaphandle kwalo, alikho ithemba lobuhlobo noNkulunkulu, akukho siqiniseko sensindiso, futhi akukho siqinisekiso sokuthi imithandazo yethu iyezwakala.

Imibhalo ayilokothi ikhulume ngegazi. Eqinisweni, ligijima njengentambo ebomvu kusukela kuGenesise kuya kusAmbulo. Uma ususa izikhombo zegazi eBhayibhelini, okusele kuyincwadi yomlando nezincwadi. Noma yini uNkulunkulu ayibheka njengebalulekile akufanele neze ishaywe indiva. 

Ulevitikusi 17:11 usitshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wanikela ngegazi ukuze enze ihlawulo ngoba “ukuphila kwenyama” kukulo. Igama elithi “inhlawulo,” njengoba lisetshenziswe eTestamenteni Elidala, lisho “ukumboza.” Ngohlelo lwemihlatshelo yokukhulekela eyasungulwa iNkosi, izono zesintu zasitshekelwa ngegazi lezilwane ezingenacala.

Ububi besono bubonakaliswa yizindleko ezinkulu zokubuyisana—isijeziso ukufa; futhi kufanele ikhokhwe yilowo onecala noma obambele owamukelekayo. Ukuze kusibekela iziphambeko, izilwane ezinikelwayo kwakumele zingabi nasici futhi ziphelele. Yonke imihlatshelo e-altare yayiwukugcwaliseka kwesigwebo sokufa esasifunwa umthetho kaNkulunkulu.

Uhlelo lwemihlatshelo lwalufundisa abantu ukuthi uJehova ungcwele, iziphambeko kufanele zijeziswe, futhi inhlawulo yesono yenziwa ngokuchithwa kwegazi kuphela. Lo mlungiselelo wawufuzisela lokho okwakuzokwenzeka. Ngenxa yokuthi imihlatshelo yezilwane ingasibekela isono kuphela, kwakudingeka “iwundlu lokugcina” ukuze kususwe bonke ububi bomuntu.

Ngolunye usuku lapho uJohane uMbhapathizi emi ngasemfuleni iJordani, “iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono sezwe” lahamba langena endaweni yomlando wesintu (NgokukaJohane 1:29). Umhlatshelo ophelele wezono wawusufikile. “Wayaziwa ngaphambi kokusekelwa kwezwe” futhi weza emhlabeni ukuze agcwalise icebo leNkosi elimangalisayo lokuhlenga ngokuchitha igazi Lakhe eliyigugu ( 1 KaPetru 1:18-20).

Ujesu wayengeyena nje umuntu; WayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu embethe inyama yomuntu. Ukuzalwa kwakhe kwakungaphezu kwemvelo ngoba wakhulelwa ngoMoya oNgcwele esibelethweni sentombi. Njengoba singekho isono esadluliselwa kuYe ngokubaba wasemhlabeni, uJesu wayeyiWundlu likaNkulunkulu eliphelele, elingenabala—ukuphela kokuphila okungenasici, ngakho-ke, ukuphela komhlatshelo ofanelekayo wecala laso sonke isintu.
