Isithombe: Ukubuka Ulwandle LwaseMedithera "eKhesariya Ngasolwandle" ngamehlo kaPeter © Denison Ministries
Khumbula okungavamile eKhesariya Maritima
Ukubaluleka kweKesariya endabeni yeBhayibheli kuqukethe okungaphezu kwezindaba zomlando zokuqapha. Leli dolobha futhi, ngezindlela eziningi, laliyisisekelo sezehlakalo zevangeli ezibaluleke kakhulu emiBhalweni.
Encwadini yezEnzo 10, sithola uPetru ethandaza ophahleni lwendlu ngasolwandle lapho uNkulunkulu ebonakala kuye embonweni lapho ebona “indwangu enkulu” yehliswa, mhlawumbe efana nesese ophahleni noma oseyili bezikebhe eMedithera. Laliqukethe “izilwane,” “izilwane ezihuquzelayo,” kanye “nezinyoni,” izigaba ezintathu zezinto eziphilayo ezidaliwe (cf. Genesise 6). Phakathi kwazo kwakunezilwane ezingcolile ezazingatshisi noma zingadabuli inselo, nokho uJehova wayesayala uPetru ukuba ‘ahlabe adle’ ( IzEnzo 10:13). Njengoba imithetho yezokudla yayingesinye sezigaba eziyinhloko phakathi kwamaJuda nabeZizwe, lo mbono wawuhlobene ngokuqondile nokuhlangana okwakuzolandela ngokushesha.
Ngaphambi nje kokuba uNkulunkulu abonakale kuPetru, enye indoda esifundeni yathola umlayezo ovela kuNkulunkulu wokubaluleka okufanayo. UKorneliyu kanye nendlu yakhe beza okholweni kuKristu (Izenzo 10:1–33).
Kusuka kuKorneliyu kanye naseKhesariya, ivangeli lasakazwa kwabeZizwe e-Antiyokiya (Izenzo 11:19–30) futhi ukusuka kubo liya emhlabeni wabeZizwe (Izenzo 13:1–3). Singalandelela ukwamukelwa kwethu kwabeZizwe embusweni kaNkulunkulu kuKorneliyu naseKhesariya. Lapha sithola izimpande zethu ezingokomoya zangempela.
Ngeshwa, lezo zimpande zingathathwa kalula.
Wagcina nini ukubonga ngensindiso yakho?
Wagcina nini ukubonga uNkulunkulu ngokukwamukela emndenini Wakhe?
Ingabe iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu “akakhethi, kodwa wamukela ezizweni zonke omesabayo nowenza ukulunga” limane libonakala liwulwazi olujwayelekile?
Akunakwenzeka ukuba uPetru noKorneliyu kube isisekelo.
Njengoba siqhubeka nohambo lwethu eZweni Elingcwele, khumbula amaqiniso amangalisayo okungenzeka abonakale ejwayelekile.
Cela iNkosi ukuthi ikunikeze ukwazisa okusha ngakho konke ekwenzile ukukufikisa kuleli qophelo ebudlelwaneni bakho Naye.
Angazi noma u-Petru wacabanga emuva yini ngokuhlangana kwakhe noKorneliyu lapho ebhala lawo mazwi, kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi ngiyabonga ngokuthi ayiqiniso.
Ngabe nakuwe kunjalo?
