Umoya Ongcwele: Ingabe Siyavutha Noma Asishi?Isampula

UJesu Wabhapathizwa NgoMoya Ongcwele 

Nakuba ekhulelwe ngoMoya oNgcwele, uJesu wayedinga umbhapathizo kaMoya lapho eqala inkonzo Yakhe. Njengoba uJohane uMbhapathizi ambhapathiza uJesu eJordani, kwaba nobhapathizo wesibili. UMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe njengejuba, hhayi njengelangabi lomlilo, ngoba kwakungekho lutho oluvutha kuJesu.

Isibonelo esikhulu samaKristu nguJesu, futhi wabhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele. AmaVangeli kaMathewu, uMarku kanye noLuka wonke abhala isenzakalo esifanayo. IVangeli lesine, uJohane, linikeza imininingwane eyengeziwe. UJohane uMbhapathizi, umanduleli kaJesu, wathi, “Ngabona uMoya ehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe” (NgokukaJohane 1:32). UJesu uqobo wachaza, “UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwami, ngokuba ungigcobile ukuba ngishumayele iVangeli...” (NgokukaLuka 4:18). UPetru, encwadini yezEenzo 10:38, wathi, “UNkulunkulu wamgcoba uJesu waseNazaretha ngoMoya oNgcwele nangamandla.” UJohane uMbhapathizi washo into ejabulisayo. “Lowo ongithumileyo ukubhapathiza ngamanzi wathi kimi: ‘Lowo ozobona uMoya ehla ahlale phezu kwakhe, nguyena obhapathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele” (NgokukaJohane 1:33).

UKristu waba nesipiliyoni sobuntu esivela kuNkulunkulu ukuze abonise ukuthi isipiliyoni somuntu esiphelele kufanele sibe yini. Wayengowokuqala ezixukwini. Wayengumuntu wokuqala emhlabeni owabhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele. UJohane 3:34 (NIV) uthi, “UNkulunkulu unika uMoya ngokungenamkhawulo.” UJohane 1:16 uyamemezela, “Ekugcwaleni kwakhe samukele sonke...” Lelo yiqiniso elimangalisayo—owakuthola kwakungenxa yethu. Wagcwaliswa ngenxa yethu, futhi ngokugcwala Kwakhe okungapheli sigcwalisiwe.
