Ukujaha Udumo

Igama lesiGreki elisho udumo—phēmē, elibizwa ngokuthi fā'-mā—lisetshenziswe kabili kuphela eTestamenteni Elisha. Ngokuvamile kuchazwa njengenkulumo, umbiko, noma izindaba. Nansi indlela i- phēmē esetshenziswe ngayo kuLuka 4:14 KJV:

uJesu wabuyela eGalile ngamandla kaMoya; kwaphuma udumo lwakhe kulo lonke izwe lesifunda esizungezile.

uJesu ubebuya kuphi okwadala udumo ngaye kulo lonke izwe? Ake sithole umongo. KuLuka 1, sizwa ngokuzalwa kukaJesu okuzayo. KuLuka 2, Uyazalwa futhi akhule abe ngumfana. KuLuka 3, Uyabhabhadiswaa. Ekugcineni, emavesini ambalwa okuqala kaLuka 4, uJesu uyazila ukudla futhi uvivinywa uSathane ogwadule. Lokhu kusibuyisela kuLuka 4:14. 

Khona uJesu wabuyela eGalile egcwele amandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Imibiko ngaye yasabalala masinyane kuso sonke isifunda. NgokukaLuka 4:14 NLT 

Ekufundweni kwanamuhla, uzofunda yonke indaba yokuhlolwa kukaJesu ogwadule. uJesu wazila ukudla ogwadule izinsuku ezingu-40 futhi phakathi nalo, uSathane ngokwakhe walinga uJesu ngokudla okungalungile ( NgokukaLuka 4:3-4), udumo ( NgokukaLuka 4:5-8) nokholo ( NgokukaLuka 4:9-12). Isikhathi ngasinye uJesu wasenqaba isilingo futhi wasabela ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu.

NgokukaLuka 4:14 udumo alulona uhlobo esilujaha ngaso sonke isikhathi, akunjalo? Sivame ukulandela uhlobo uSathane alunikeza uJesu ehlane. Lunikezwa ngaphandle kokwaneliseka ( NgokukaLuka 4:3-4), ubukhazikhazi obungenamhlatshelo ( NgokukaLuka 4:5-8), nensindiso ngaphandle kokuzinikela (NgokukaLuka 4:9-12). 

Cabanga ngokuqashelwa emsebenzini, ukuthanda izinkundla zokuxhumana, nokunconywa abanye. Kuzwakala kumnandi okwesikhashana, bese uvele ulangazelele okwengeziwe. Uma sithembekile, cishe sonke siye sabhekana nezikhathi lapho sasifuna ukuqashelwa noma saziwe ngokuthile. Ngokufanayo, uSathane unikeza uJesu imali, ithonya namandla. uJesu walingwa njengathi, kodwa akazange alingeke. 

Sizofunda futhi ngesilingo sokugcina sikaSathane kuJesu—emcela ukuba agxume esuka esakhiweni ukuze uNkulunkulu ambambe. Uke wazama ukuthandaza umthandazo ophoqa uNkulunkulu ukuthi enze izinto ngendlela yakho, ngesikhathi sakho? Akuhloniphi kakhulu uNkulunkulu—yingakho uJesu ephendula ngokuthi akufanele simvivinye uNkulunkulu kanjalo. 

Kunolimi olwakhiwe kabusha olubizwa nge-PIE—Proto-Indo-European—idlozi elingabhaliwe lesiGreek. Igama elingumsuka le-PIE elaba ngu-phēmē, lithi -bha, okusho “ukukhanya” kanye “nokukhuluma.” Ngakho-ke ake sibuyele ezimpandweni zethu. Asenziwe ukuba sibe ukuKhanya—lowo nguJesu—kodwa sibizwa ngokuthi sikhanyise ukukhanya kwakhe. Asilona iZwi—iVangeli likaJohane lithi lowo futhi uJesu—kodwa sibizelwe ukukhuluma iZwi lakhe emhlabeni wonke.

Ukujaha udumo ukulandela okukaNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokulandela uNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe. Leso yisilingo esidala kunazo zonke encwadini. Ungaweli ngakho. Ngokuzayo lapho ubhekana nesilingo sodumo, yenza lokho uJesu akwenza. Khanya ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu ngokukhuluma amazwi Akhe. Futhi uma wenza kanjalo, uLuka 4:14 uyenzeka. Udumo lwakhe lwasabalala.

Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, ukuzama ukuthandwa kungivimbela kanjani ekukhanyiseni ukukhanya kwakho? Ngifuna ukukulandela ngakho konke okukimi. Ameni.
