Inkolo yobuKristu namalungelo abantu
Funda indlela ukholo lobuKristu oluwathuthukise ngayo amalungelo nezimo zabantu
- ( 1 Kor 6:9 ) Anazi yini ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu na? Ningakhohliswa ...
- ( 2 Thim 2:19 ) 19 Nokho isisekelo sikaNkulunkulu simi siqinile, sinalolu phawu lokuthi: INkosi iyabazi abangabayo. Futhi, Wonke umuntu obiza igama likaKristu makadede ebubini .
( Mathewu 22:35-40 ) Khona-ke omunye wabo, isazi somthetho, wambuza umbuzo emlinga, wathi: 36 Mfundisi, imuphi umyalo omkhulu emthethweni na? 37 UJesu wathi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. 38 Lona ngumyalo wokuqala nomkhulu. 39 Owesibili ofana nawo uthi, Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena . 40 Kuleyo miyalo emibili kubambelela umthetho wonke nabaprofethi.
- ( Mat 7:12 ) Ngakho-ke zonke izinto enifuna ukuba abantu bazenze kini, kwenzeni nani kanjalo kubo, ngokuba lokhu kungumthetho nabaprofethi.
Omunye wemibono eNtshonalanga yesimanje ukuthi ukulahla uNkulunkulu nokholo lobuKristu kusho ukuthuthukiswa kokuziphatha namasiko. Bazise abantu abakhululekile kanye nabantu abathambekele embonweni wezwe wemvelo bangase bacabange ukuthi umhlaba uzoba ngcono kakhulu njengoba umuntu elahla uNkulunkulu. Kuholela enkululekweni, empucukweni, emphakathini ongenzeleli, nasesikhaleni lapho isizathu saziswa kakhulu. Okungenani bacabanga kanjalo abantu abaningi abenqaba ukholo lobuKristu. Abaningi bangase futhi baveze izinto ezimbi ezenziwa egameni lobuKristu noNkulunkulu bengazi ukuthi ziwumphumela wokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu noma ukuthi izimfundiso zikaJesu nezabaphostoli azizange zilandelwe. Akunjalo ngoba izimfundiso zikaJesu nezabaphostoli bezilandelwa, kodwa ngoba azilandelwa. Lomehluko obalulekile awuqondwa ngabagxeki abaningi benkolo yobuKristu. Kodwa kanjani? Ingabe ukholo lobuKristu lube nomthelela omuhle noma omubi emalungelweni abantu kanye nesithunzi somuntu? Lokhu sikubuka ngezibonelo ezimbalwa, njengesimo sabesifazane, ukufunda nokubhala, ukuzalwa kolimi lokubhala, nokusungulwa kwezikole nezibhedlela. Abonisa indlela ukholo lobuKristu oluye lwaba nethonya elihle ngayo ezicini eziningi. Lawo mazwe lapho ukholo lobuKristu lubambe iqhaza elibalulekile nawo angamazwe abantu okuncono ukuthuthela kuwo. Kuzo, amalungelo abantu kanye nezimo zezomnotho ngokuvamile bezingcono kunezinye izindawo.
Ingabe ukholo lobuKristu luye lwanciphisa noma lwathuthukisa isikhundla sabesifazane? Okokuqala, kuhle ukunaka isimo sabesifazane, njengoba abanye bephikisana ngomphumela omubi wenkolo yobuKrestu esimeni sabesifazane. Bahlasele inkolo yobuKristu, bethi iyinzalamizi futhi yehlisa isikhundla sabesifazane. Lokhu kusolwa kwenziwe ikakhulukazi ngamalungu enhlangano yabesifazane kanye nabanye abathathe umqondo ofanayo. Laba bantu bacabanga ukuthi isimo sowesifazane sincike ekutheni enze ngendlela efana ncamashi nendoda (isib. ubupristi besifazane) hhayi ekubeni ekufanele yena futhi ikakhulukazi ngoKristu. Kulo mbono, ukubaluleka kowesifazane kukalwa kuphela ngokufana kwakhe nendoda hhayi ngobuyena njengowesifazane yedwa. Nokho, kuyangqubuzana ukuthi wona lawo malungu enhlangano yabesifazane abathi bamele abesifazane bagcizelela ngokuqinile ukukhishwa kwezisu, okuwukungavunyelwa kobulili bangempela. Ubufazi beqiniso akubandakanyi ukubulala ingane ngaphakathi noma ngaphandle kwesibeletho sikanina. Kunalokho, ubuhlobo obuseduze phakathi kukamama nabantwana nokunakekela izingane kuwubufazi obunempilo. Abaholi bamanje benhlangano yabesifazane sebekhohliwe. Enye inkinga eye yalandela phakathi nomsebenzi oshubile wenhlangano yabesifazane ukwanda kwenani lomama abangabodwa. Lokhu, futhi, kuye kwavame kakhulu esizukulwaneni samanje, lapho izimiso zobuKristu nokuhlala njalo komshado kuye kwashiywa. Abesifazane abaningi bangaphansi komthwalo omkhulu kunabo ngaphambi kwenkathi yenhlangano yamanje yabesifazane. Akuzange kudambe, kodwa kwenza isimo sabo saba sibi nakakhulu.
Umlingisikazi nombhali u-Eppu Nuotio kanye nomcwaningi u -Tommi Hoikkalaxoxa ngokudideka mayelana nobudlelwano bowesilisa nowesifazane. U-Hoikkala uyazibuza ukuthi kungani umndeni wenuzi waqala ukuhlakazeka lapho abesifazane bethola amalungelo amaningi. Ukholelwa ukuthi iFinland maduze izobhekana nesimo esifanayo neSweden isivele ibhekene nayo: ifomu lomndeni elivame kakhulu ngumama ongayedwa kanye nengane yakhe eyodwa. Abesifazane babefuna ukukhululwa esimweni lapho bengenalo inkululeko yokuzikhethela futhi bagcina besesimweni lapho bengenankululeko yokuzikhethela. (...) Abesifazane abaningi bakhathala ngenxa yemisebenzi yabo yasekhaya, ukufunda nomsebenzi wesikhashana. UHoikkala unombono wokuthi lezi zinkinga ebudlelwaneni zidalwe wukuthi abesilisa abakwazi ukuthwala abesifazane abaphumelelayo. Njengoba ukubekezelelana kwabantu kuncipha, umkhawulo wabo wokuthola isehlukaniso nawo uyancipha. IFinland manje isinesiko lokuhlukanisa. (1)
Kuthiwani ngomlando nesimo sabesifazane? Abaningi bahlasela inkolo yobuKristu ngokuqondile ngoba bethi isenze buthaka isikhundla sabesifazane. Nokho, le mpikiswano ayihambisani nokucatshangelwa komlando. Ngoba, uma kuqhathaniswa nabesifazane emiphakathini yamaGreki neyamaRoma, isikhundla sabesifazane abangamaKristu sasingcono kakhulu. Esinye isibonelo sasendulo kwakuwukushiywa kwezingane zamantombazane. EMbusweni WaseRoma, kwakuwumkhuba ovamile ukuhlanganyela ekuhleleni umndeni ngokulahla izingane ezisanda kuzalwa. Kwakuyisiphetho samantombazane ikakhulukazi. Ngenxa yalokho, inani lobudlelwane labesilisa nabesifazane lahlanekezelwa, futhi kulinganiselwa ukuthi kwakukhona amadoda angaba yikhulu namashumi amathathu kwabesifazane abayikhulu emphakathini waseRoma. Nokho, inkolo yobuKristu yashintsha isimo futhi yathuthukisa isimo sabesifazane endulo. Lapho amaKristu ekwenqabela ukukhipha isisu nokubulawa kwezingane ezisanda kuzalwa, kwakuthinta ukuphila kwamantombazane. Amantombazane ayenakekelwa ngokufanayo nabafana. Lokhu kwenza inani lobudlelwane labesilisa nabesifazane libe ngaphezulu. Esinye isibonelo imishado yezingane nemishado ehlelwa besebancane. Emphakathini wasendulo, kwakuyinto evamile ukuphoqelela amantombazane ukuba ashade esakhula noma ngisho nangaphambi kwalokho. UCassius Dio ongumGreki, owabhala umlando wamaRoma, wathi intombazane isilungele ukushada lapho nje ineminyaka engu-12 ubudala: “Intombazane eshadile ngaphambi kokuba ihlanganise iminyaka engu-12 iba umngane womshado osemthethweni ngosuku lwayo lokuzalwa lweminyaka engu-12 . ” Ukholo lobuKristu lwaba nomthelela ngendlela eyavumela abesifazane ukuthi bashade kamuva futhi bazikhethele umlingani wabo. Isibonelo sethu sesithathu sithinta abafelokazi besifazane, isimo sabo sasingesihle ezweni lasendulo (njengaseNdiya yanamuhla, lapho abafelokazi besifazane baze bashiswa bephila). Babemele elinye lamaqembu asengozini kakhulu futhi ampofu, kodwa ubuKristu bathuthukisa izimpilo zabo. Umphakathi ubizwe ukuthi unakekele abafelokazi njengoba nawo unakekela izingane ezinganakiwe. Lokhu kwathinta ukusakazeka kobuKristu embusweni wamaRoma. IzEnzo nezincwadi, isb, ziveza isimo sabafelokazi (Izenzo 6:1, 1 Thim 5:3-16, Jakobe 1:27) Okwesine, kunemfundiso eTestamenteni Elisha yamadoda okufanele athande omkawo, njengoba nje noKristu alithanda ibandla. Uma kukhona okungalungile ngabesifazane, abesifazane besimanje kufanele basitshele ukuthi yini engalungile ngakho. Ingabe uthando lwendoda kumkakhe alulona yini kanye wonke umuntu wesifazane alufunayo emshadweni?
(Efe 5:25, 28) Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengoba nje noKristu alithanda ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo. 28 Kanjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda omkawo njengemizimba yawo. Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena.
Okwesihlanu, kumelwe kukhunjulwe ukuthi inani labesifazane phakathi kwabalandeli bakaJesu belilokhu likhulu. Kwakunjalo phakathi namakhulu okuqala eminyaka nangale kwalokho. Ukube ukholo lobuKristu alulethanga intuthuko ekuphileni kwabo, kungani lokho kwakwenzeka? Kungani babenesithakazelo kule nto uma bebazi ukuthi ukholo lobuKristu lwehlisa owesifazane? Iqiniso liwukuthi, ngokuvamile kwathuthukisa ukuphila kwabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqiniso liwukuthi abesifazane baye babamba iqhaza elikhulu emikhankasweni eminingi yemvuselelo yobuKristu. Isibonelo esihle isb imvuselelo yePentecostal kanye neSalvation Army. Abesifazane babambe iqhaza elibalulekile futhi basakaza ivangeli ezindaweni lapho amadoda engenele.
Uprofesa wezokuhlalisana kwabantu nezifundo zezenkolo, uRodney Stark, ubhale incwadi ngokukhula nempumelelo yobuKristu, wabuye wahlaziya ukubaluleka kwabesifazane ekusabalaleni kobuKristu. NgokukaStark, isimo sabesifazane abangamaKristu besisihle kusukela ekuqaleni kobuKristu. Ayejabulela isikhundla nesivikelo esiphakeme kunodadewabo baseRoma abakanye nabo, ababephakeme kakhulu kunesabesifazane abangamaGreki. Ukukhipha izisu nokubulawa kwezingane ezisanda kuzalwa nakho kwakungavunyelwe emiphakathini yamaKrestu - kokubili kwakunqatshelwe ngokuphelele. Ngenxa yalokho, ubuKristu babuthandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabesifazane, (Chadwick 1967; Brown, 1988) futhi basakazeka, ikakhulukazi ngabesifazane abahloniphekile kubayeni babo.(2)
Ngaphandle kwalokho, kuyize ukuphika, lokho ngisho nabaphikisi bobuKristu abangabahedeni abakuvuma obala: ukuthi lenkolo entsha yakhanga amanani angavamile abesifazane nokuthi abesifazane abaningi bathola induduzo engaka ezimfundisweni zebandla izinkolo ezindala ezazingakwazi ukuzinikeza. Njengoba ngishilo, uKelsos wacabanga ngenani elikhulu labesifazane phakathi kwamaKristu njengobufakazi bokungabi nangqondo kanye nemvelo engcolile yobuKristu. UJulianus wagxeka amadoda ase-Antiokia embhalweni wakhe othi Misopogon ngokuvumela abafazi bawo bachithe impahla yabo “kubantu baseGalile” nabampofu, ngeshwa okwaphumela ekubeni “ukungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu” kwamaKristu kuzuzwe umphakathi. Njalo njalo. Ubufakazi obuphathelene nobuKristu bokuqala abushiyi ngokuqondile indawo yokungabaza ukuthi buyinkolo, ehehe kakhulu abantu besifazane futhi ibingeke isabalale cishe yonke indawo futhi ingasheshi ukube ibingenabo abesifazane abaningi. (3)
Kuthiwani ngobupristi besifazane kanye nesimo sengqondo esibi ngabo? AmaKristu amaningi ayaqonda eBhayibhelini ukuthi le ndaba ingeyabantu kuphela (1 Thim. 3: 1-7; Thithu 1: 5-9). Akuwona umbuzo wokuthi abesifazane bathathwe njengabaphansi kodwa ukuthi amadoda nabesifazane banezindima ezihlukene. Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela indlela uJesu asebenza ngayo. Ngokuvamile abantu bacabanga ngoJesu njengomuhle, futhi wayemuhle ngempela. Wayenabalandeli besilisa nabesifazane ngokufanayo. Nokho, okutholakele okubalulekile ukuthi uJesu wakhetha amadoda kuphela njengabaphostoli (Math. 10:1-4), hhayi abesifazane. UJesu akazange alandele isibonelo sabesifazane banamuhla lapha, nakuba ayebathanda ngempela bonke abantu, kungakhathaliseki ubulili. Pho kungani sinaka isibonelo esabekwa uJesu? Isizathu esiyinhloko ukuthi uJesu wayengeyena nje umuntu kodwa uNkulunkulu onenhloko-dolobha G. WayenguNkulunkulu owadala zonke izinto futhi owayevela ezulwini (Johane 1: 1-3,14). UJesu ngokwakhe wathi: " Wayesethi kubo: "Nina ningabaphansi, mina ngingowaphezulu, nina ningabaleli zwe, mina angisiye owaleli zwe. 24 Ngakho ngithe kini niyakufela ezonweni zenu; uma ningakholwa ukuthi nginguye, niyakufela ezonweni zenu. ( Johane 8:23, 24 ) Ngakho uma uJesu enguNkulunkulu owabekela abaphostoli bokuqala isibonelo, akufanele siyishaye indiva le ndaba ngokuhlehla futhi sithi ayinancazelo. Labo abakhuluma ngokungalingani kule ndaba namuhla babonakala bezenqaba nezinye izimfundiso uJesu aziveza. Abaningi babo abakholelwa esihogweni nanoma yiziphi ezinye izisekelo zeBhayibheli ezafundiswa uJesu. Bazitshela ukuthi banamanga futhi bacabanga ukuthi bahlakaniphe kunoJesu. Ingabe lesi akusona isimo sengqondo sokuzikhukhumeza? Umuntu angabuza umuntu onjalo ukuthi kungani uyilungu lesigceme noma esontweni uma ungakholelwa ngisho nezinto eziyisisekelo ezafundiswa uJesu? Abantu abanjalo bangabapristi besinkwa kanye “nabaholi abayizimpumputhe” abafanayo nalokho okwakukhona ngesikhathi sikaJesu. okwakukhona ngesikhathi sikaJesu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma uluhlobo lomuntu ongavumelani nalo kule ndaba, ungakwenqabi ukuphila okuphakade ngenxa yakho! UNkulunkulu ukubizela embusweni Wakhe waphakade, ngakho ungalahli lolu bizo ngenxa yento enjalo!
Isimo sezingane.
Ungabulali umntwana ngokukhipha isisu, futhi ungaphinde umbulale lapho esezelwe (Epistle of Barnabas, 19, 5)
Akumelwe ubulale ngokukhipha isisu isithelo sesisu futhi ngeke ubulale usana oseluzelwe (Tertullian, Apologeticum,9,8:PL 1, 371-372)
Okwesibili, inkolo yobuKrestu yathuthukisa amalungelo ezingane. Ngenhla, sizwakalise ukuthi ukulahlwa kwezingane ezisanda kuzalwa ezingafunwa kwakuwumkhuba ovamile emphakathini wasendulo. Kwakuyinto evamile kuzo zonke izigaba zomphakathi, futhi umkhuba ovamile wawuwukuvumela ubaba womkhaya anqume phakathi nesonto lokuqala lokuphila kosana olusanda kuzalwa ukuthi luzovunyelwa yini luphile. Uma umntwana bekuyintombazane, ekhubazekile, noma engafunwa, ngokuvamile wayeshiywa. Ezinye izingane ezilahliwe ngezinye izikhathi kamuva zakhuliswa zibe izifebe, izigqila, noma izinxibi, okubonisa isikhundla sazo esisengozini. UbuKristu bathuthukisa isimo sezingane. Ngenxa yalokho, abantu baqala ukulahla umkhuba wabo wokulahlwa, futhi izingane zabhekwa njengabantu abanobuntu obuphelele namalungelo abantu aphelele. Izingane ezilahliwe zaqoqwa emigwaqweni futhi zanikezwa ithuba elisha ekuphileni. Ekugcineni, umthetho washintshwa futhi: ngo-374, ngesikhathi sombusi u-Valentinian, ukushiywa kwezingane kwaba yicala.
Ubugqila. Lapho inkolo yobuKristu ithuthukisa isikhundla sabesifazane nezingane, yabuye yathuthukisa isikhundla sezigqila futhi yagcina ibambe iqhaza ekushabalaleni kwalesi sikhungo. Embusweni wamaRoma, ubugqila babusakazekile futhi nasemadolobheni aseGreece, amaphesenti angu-15-30 amalungu omphakathi ayeyizigqila ezingenawo amalungelo omphakathi, kodwa ukholo lobuKristu lwaletha ushintsho esimweni. Abaningi namuhla bagxeka iNkathi Ephakathi beyiqamba ngokuthi iNkathi Yobumnyama, kodwa kwakungaleso sikhathi lapho ubugqila banyamalala khona eYurophu, ngaphandle kwezifunda ezimbalwa eziseduze. Kuthiwani ngobugqila benkathi entsha? Ezikhathini zanamuhla, kunenkulumo enenhlonipho yesikhathi sokuKhanya, kodwa lapho ubugqila buqala futhi, lesi sikhungo sasisikhulu kakhulu ngesikhathi sokuKhanya. Kwakuyinkathi yobumnyama emaqenjini amaningana abantu. Nokho, abameleli bobuKristu bemvuselelo, njengamaQuaker namaWeseli, baba nesandla ekuvinjelweni kobugqila eNgilandi nakwamanye amazwe. Ithuthukise amalungelo abantu:
Ubugqila baqhubeka bukhona futhi banda kakhulu kuyo yonke iNkathi Yokukhanyiselwa phakathi namashumi amane okugcina ekhulu le- 18 . Kuphela ekupheleni kwekhulu leminyaka izikweletu zokuqala zenziwa zokuqeda ubugqila emakoloni amakhulu. Umbutho wokuqeda nya waqala eNgilandi, owasungulwa amahlelo amabili obuKristu, amaQuaker namaWeseli. Ngokwezimemezelo nezinqumo zabo ubugqila bathathwa njengesono ikakhulukazi kunokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu. (4)
Intando yeningi kanye nokuzinza komphakathi
- ( 1 Thimothewu 2:1, 2 ) Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa, nokukhuleka, nokunxusa, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke; 2 Emakhosini nakubo bonke abakhulu; ukuze siphile impilo ezolileyo lenokuthula kukho konke ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu leqiniso.
Incwadi yokuqala eya kuThimothewu isikhuthaza ukuba sithandazele iziphathimandla ukuze kuholele ekuphileni okunokuthula. Kungcono kunokuba kube nesiyaluyalu emphakathini, ubushiqela obungenamkhawulo, noma ukuvukela njalo ababusi. Kungcono kwezomnotho nokunye abaholi abakulwelayo ukuthi kube kuhle. Ezinye izazi ziye zathi umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli zobuKristu oye wafeza indima enhle ekuthuthukisweni kwentando yeningi nokuzinza komphakathi. Lokhu kubonakale emazweni ase-Afrika nase-Asia. Lapho kuye kwaba nomsebenzi okhuthele wezithunywa zevangeli, isimo namuhla singcono kunezindawo lapho umthelela wezithunywa zevangeli uye waba mncane noma ungekho. Kugqama ezindabeni ezinjengokuthi umnotho ezindaweni zemishini usuthuthuke kakhulu namuhla, isimo sezempilo singcono uma kuqhathaniswa, izinga lokushona kwezingane liphansi, inkohlakalo iphansi, ukufunda ukufunda nokubhala kulula futhi ukufinyelela emfundweni kulula kune kwezinye izindawo. EYurophu naseNyakatho Melika, intuthuko efanayo yenzeka esikhathini esidlule, futhi ukholo lobuKristu luye lwaba nomthelela nakulokho.
Usosayensi: Umsebenzi wobufundisi wasusa intando yeningi
NgokukaRobert Woodberry, umsizi kaprofesa eNyuvesi yaseTexas, umthelela womsebenzi wobufundisi wamaProthestani ngeminyaka yawo-1800 kanye nasekuqaleni kwawo-1900 ekuthuthukisweni kwentando yeningi ube mkhulu kunalokho okwakucatshangwa ekuqaleni. Kunokuba zibe neqhaza elincane ekuthuthukisweni kwentando yeningi, izithunywa zevangeli zaba nengxenye enkulu kukho emazweni amaningi ase-Afrika nase-Asia. Umagazini iChristianity Today uyasitshela ngale ndaba. URobert Woodberry uye wafunda ubudlelwano phakathi komsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli kanye nezici ezithinta intando yeningi cishe iminyaka eyi-15. Ngokusho kwakhe, lapho izithunywa zevangeli zamaProthestani ziye zaba nethonya eliyinhloko. Lapho namuhla umnotho usuthuthuke kakhulu futhi isimo sezempilo singcono kakhulu kunezindawo, lapho ithonya lezithunywa zevangeli liye laba lincane noma lingekho. Ezindaweni ezinomlando wezithunywa zevangeli ovamile, izinga lokufa kwezingane liphansi njengamanje, kunenkohlakalo encane, ukufunda nokubhala kuvame kakhulu futhi ukungena emfundweni kulula, ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane. NgokukaRobert Woodberry, kwakungamaKristu emvuselelo yamaProthestani ayenomphumela omuhle. Ngokuphambene, abefundisi ababeqashwe uhulumeni noma izithunywa zevangeli zamaKatolika ngaphambi kwawo-1960 azizange zibe nomthelela ofanayo. Izithunywa zevangeli ezingamaProthestani zazingalawulwa uhulumeni. “Enye inkolelo eyisisekelo emsebenzini wezithunywa zevangeli ukuthi ihlobene nobukoloniyali. - - Nokho, izisebenzi zamaProthestani, ezazingaxhasiwe nguhulumeni, zazihlale zisabela ngendlela egxeka ubukoloniyali”, kusho iWoodberry to Christianity Today. Umsebenzi wesikhathi eside weWoodberry uthole ukudunyiswa. Phakathi kwabanye, uprofesa ongumcwaningi uPhilip Jenkins waseBaylor University uye waphawula lokhu okulandelayo ngocwaningo lukaWoodberry: “Ngazama ngempela ukuthola izikhala, kodwa inkolelo-mbono iyabambelela. Inethonya elikhulu ocwaningweni lomhlaba wonke ngobuKristu.” Ngokukamagazini iChristianity Today izifundo ezingaphezu kweshumi ziye zaqinisa lokho okwatholwa uWoodberry. (5)
Ubugebengu kanye nenani labo
( Mathewu 22:35-40 ) Khona-ke omunye wabo, isazi somthetho, wambuza umbuzo emlinga, wathi: 36 Mfundisi, imuphi umyalo omkhulu emthethweni na? 37 UJesu wathi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. 38 Lona ngumyalo wokuqala nomkhulu. 39 Owesibili ofana nawo uthi, Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena . 40 Kule miyalo emibili kulenga wonke umthetho nabaprofethi .
- ( Luka 18:20, 21 ) Uyayazi imiyalo , Ungafebi, Ungabulali, Ungebi, Ungafakazi amanga, Hlonipha uyihlo nonyoko. 21 Wasesithi: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.
- ( Roma 13:8, 9 ) Ningabi necala lamuntu, kuphela elokuthandana, ngokuba othanda omunye uwugcwalisile umthetho. 9 Ngoba lokhu ukuthi: Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, ungafisi; uma kukhona omunye umyalo, kufinyelelwe kuleli zwi lokuthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
Izinga lobugebengu linomthelela emalungelweni abantu. Uma buncane ubugebengu, amathuba okuba umphakathi uzinze futhi akukho ukungabi nabulungisa okwenziwa kwabanye. Uyini umthelela wenkolo yobuKristu ebugebengwini? Uma kuyiqiniso, kufanele kube nengxenye ekushintsheni okuhle kumuntu futhi kunciphise ukungabi nabulungisa kwabanye. Abaningi bakhononda ngobubi bemiphakathi, kodwa ivangeli kanye nobizo lokuphenduka (cf. amazwi kaJesu, Luka 13:3: “… kepha uma ningaphenduki, niyakubhubha kanjalo nonke.) lingamandla amahle okuguqula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulandela umyalo omkhulu wokuthanda umakhelwane womuntu, ohambisana neminye imiyalo, kuyonciphisa ubugebengu. Lapho umakhelwane ethandwa futhi ehlonishwa, akukho okubi okwenziwa kuye. Impatho efanele yomakhelwane iyisisekelo sokunciphisa ubugebengu. Ngakho uma umuntu ethintwa uNkulunkulu, kufanele kulethe ushintsho oluhle kuye. Abantu abadangele nabanomunyu bangaba nombono omuhle, umlutha uyakwazi ukuyeka ukusebenzisa kwabo izidakamizwa kanye nokweba. Umgembuli uthola intshisekelo ngaphandle kwemidlalo, noma amaphekula angamisa umsebenzi wamaphekula. Ziyizinguquko ezingaba nomthelela omuhle ezimpilweni zabo nezabanye. Isibonelo esincane sibonisa indlela uNkulunkulu angashintsha ngayo ukuphila kwabaningi. Isibonelo sibonisa ukuthi inani elikhulu labantu lishintshe kanjani ngaphakathi. Incazelo isuka ekhulwini le-19 futhi ivela encwadini kaCharles G. Finney ethi Ihmeellisiä herätyksiä .
Ngike ngasho ukuthi isimo sokuziphatha sashintsha kakhulu ngalemvuselelo. Leli dolobha lalilisha, lichumile kwezomnotho futhi lingenisa imali kodwa ligcwele isono. Isibalo sabantu sasihlakaniphe kakhulu futhi sinesifiso sokuvelela kodwa njengoba imvuselelo ihlasela idolobha ngokuletha izixuku ezinkulu zabantu bakhona abaphawuleka kakhulu, abesilisa nabesifazane, ekuguqulweni, kwenzeka ushintsho oluyisimangaliso mayelana nokuhleleka, ukuthula nokuziphatha. Ngaba nenkulumo nommeli eminyakeni eminingi kamuva. Wayeke waguqulwa kule mvuselelo futhi wayengumshushisi jikelele emacaleni obugebengu. Ngenxa yaleli hhovisi, izibalo zobugebengu wayezazi kahle. Wathi mayelana nesikhathi salemvuselelo, “Ngihlolisisile imibhalo yomthetho wobugebengu futhi ngabona iqiniso elimangalisayo: nakuba idolobha lakithi liye landa ngokuphindwe kathathu ngemva kwezikhathi zokuvuselelwa, akuzange kube khona ngisho nengxenye yesithathu yamacala kunawo. zangaphambili. Imvuselelo yaba nomphumela oyisimangaliso emphakathini wethu.” (…) (...) Kokubili ukuphikiswa komphakathi nokomuntu siqu kwehla kancane kancane. E-Rochester ngangingazi lutho ngakho. Insindiso yayinokuvakasha kwayo okukhulu, imvuselelo yayinamandla kakhulu futhi yanyakaza kakhulu, futhi abantu baba nesikhathi sokujwayelana nabo ngokwabo kanye nemiphumela yako kangangokuthi babesaba ukuphikisa njengakuqala. Abapristi nabo babewaqonda kangcono, futhi ababi babeqiniseka ukuthi bayizenzo zikaNkulunkulu. Lo mbono wabo wacishe wavamile, kwacaca ukuthi isimo esinengqondo sokuguqulwa, kwaguqulwa ngempela, "indalo entsha", kwakuyilabo abaguqukile, ngakho-ke kwenzeka ushintsho olukhulu kokubili kubantu ngabanye nasemphakathini, ngakho-ke kwakuhlala unomphela futhi okungenakuphikwa. isithelo.
Kuthiwani ngamaphutha ebandla? Abaningi abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu bangase baphikise ngokuthi ukholo lobuKristu alulethi izinguquko ezinhle, futhi bangase bakhombe ezinkulungwaneni zokungabi nabulungisa okwenziwa egameni likaNkulunkulu, phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. Ngaleso sisekelo, bayaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu akekho. Bathi, “Akuwona yini ubuwula ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu kuyilapho ukungalungi okungaka kwenziwe egameni Lakhe na? Nokho, laba bantu abanaki
• ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu: Anazi yini ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu? Ningakhohliswa… (1 Korinte 6:9) • ukuthi uJesu wenqaba ukuvuma abenzi bokubi: Khona-ke ngiyakubatshela ukuthi angizange nginazi: sukani kimi nina benzi bokubi. ( Mathewu 7:23 ) • ukuthi uJesu, uJohane uMbhapathizi nabaphostoli bamemezela ukuphenduka.

La mazwi kaPawulu abonisa kahle ukuthuthuka komlando. Zichaza amakhulu eminyaka nokungabi nabulungisa okwenziwa egameni likaNkulunkulu. Akunakwenzeka ukuphika ukuthi uPawulu wayengalungile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uPawulu wabonisa ukuthi izenzo zingafakaza ngokumelene nomuntu. Wayengase futhi ngokwakhe athi kwabanye: “Bafowethu, yibani ngabalandeli bami kanyekanye, niphawule abahamba kanjalo njengoba ninesibonelo kithi.” , Fil 3:17 .
- ( IzEnzo 20:29-31 ) Ngoba ngiyazi lokhu, ukuthi ngemva kokumuka kwami kuyongena phakathi kwenu izimpisi ezihahayo, zingawuhawukeli umhlambi. 30 Nakuni ngokwenu kuyakuvela amadoda akhuluma izinto ezonakele, ukuze ahuge abafundi ukubalandela. 31 Ngakho lindani, nikhumbule, ukuthi iminyaka emithathu ubusuku nemini angiyekanga ukuxwayisa yilowo nalowo ngezinyembezi.
- ( Thit 1:16 ) Bavuma ukuthi bayamazi uNkulunkulu; kepha bayamphika ngemisebenzi, benengekayo, nabangalaleliyo, nakuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle bengaboshiwe.
Imfundo nokufunda akuhlobene ngqo namalungelo abantu, kodwa amazwe lapho kulula ukufinyelela khona emfundweni nasekufundeni ngokuvamile nawo enze inqubekelaphambili emalungelweni abantu. Ngakho ukholo lobuKristu luhlobana kanjani nendaba? Abaningi banendawo eyimpumputhe lapha. Abazi ukuthi izilimi eziningi ezibhalwayo eYurophu nakwamanye amazwe - kanye nezikole eziningi namanyuvesi - zazalwa ngenxa yethonya lenkolo yobuKristu. Ngokwesibonelo, lapha eFinland, uMikael Agricola, uMshisekeli Wezinguquko waseFinland nonguyise wezincwadi, wanyathelisa incwadi yokuqala ye-ABC kanye neTestamente Elisha nezingxenye zezinye izincwadi zeBhayibheli. Abantu bafunda ukuzifundela. Kwamanye amazwe amaningi emazweni aseNtshonalanga, intuthuko yenzeka ngenqubo efanayo:
UbuKristu bakha impucuko yaseNtshonalanga. Ukube abalandeli bakaJesu babezohlala njengehlelo lamaJuda elibuthakathaka, abaningi benu bebengeke bafunde ukufunda futhi abanye bebeyofunda ngemiqulu ekopishwe ngesandla. Ngaphandle kwemfundiso yenkolo ehlanganiswe nokuqhubeka nokulingana kokuziphatha, umhlaba wonke njengamanje ubuzoba sesimweni, lapho imiphakathi okungeyona eyaseYurophu yayicishe ibe ngawo-1800s: Umhlaba onezazi zezinkanyezi ezingenakubalwa nama-alchemists, kodwa ngaphandle kososayensi. Umhlaba ocindezelayo ongenawo amanyuvesi, amabhange, izimboni, izibuko, oshimula namapiyano. Izwe, lapho iningi lezingane lishona ngaphambi kweminyaka emihlanu nalapho abesifazane abaningi bezofa bebeletha - izwe eliyophila ngempela "Ezinkathini Zobumnyama". Izwe lanamuhla lavela kuphela emiphakathini yobuKristu. Hhayi endaweni yamaSulumane. Hhayi e-Asia. Hhayi emphakathini "wezwe" - njengoba into enjalo yayingekho. (6)
Futhi izibhedlela azihlobene ngokuqondile namalungelo abantu, kodwa zithuthukisa isimo nenhlalakahle yabantu. Kule ndawo, ukholo lobuKristu luye lwadlala indima enkulu, njengoba izibhedlela eziningi (kuhlanganise neSiphambano Esibomvu) zazalwa ngenxa yethonya layo. Uthando lukamakhelwane oluvela kuNkulunkulu kanye nesifiso sokusiza abantu kungemuva kwezibhedlela eziningi:
NgeNkathi Ephakathi abantu, abangabe-Order of Saint Benedict, babenakekela izibhedlela ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezimbili eNtshonalanga Yurophu kuphela. Ikhulu le -12 lalibaluleke kakhulu kulokhu, ikakhulukazi lapho, lapho i-Order of Saint John yayisebenza khona. Ngokwesibonelo, iSibhedlela esikhulu sikaMoya oNgcwele sasungulwa ngo-1145 eMontpellier, ngokushesha saba isikhungo semfundo yezokwelapha kanye nesikhungo sezokwelapha saseMontpellier phakathi nonyaka ka-1221. Ngaphezu kokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha, lezi zibhedlela zazihlinzeka ngokudla kwabalambile nabalambile. wanakekela abafelokazi nezintandane, futhi wayepha abaswele izipho. (7)
Izibonelo ezimbalwa zase-Afrika zibonisa ukubaluleka kokholo lobuKristu. Abaningi bayawugxeka umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli, kodwa ulethe ushintsho olukhulu nokuzinza emiphakathini yase-Afrika. Ngenxa yalokhu, nomnotho usuqalile ukukhula nezinga lempilo yabantu linyukile. Eyokuqala kokuphawula kukaNelson Mandela. Eyakamuva yabhalwa uMatthew Parris, usombusazwe owaziwayo waseBrithani, umbhali nentatheli yeThe Times, enesihloko esithi “Njengomuntu Ongakholelwa KuNkulunkulu, ngikholelwa ngempela ukuthi i-Afrika iyamdinga uNkulunkulu,” futhi ngaphansi kwesihlokwana, “Izithunywa zevangeli, hhayi izibonelelo, zingaba isixazululo senkinga enkulu yase-Afrika - umqondo wabantu wokungenzi lutho.” UParris ufinyelele lesi siphetho ngemva kokuhlala njengengane emazweni ahlukahlukene ase-Afrika nangemva kokuthatha uhambo olude ezwenikazi lonke. Naye ngokwakhe akakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, kodwa waphawula ukuthi umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli unemiphumela emihle. Umsebenzi wezenhlalakahle nje noma ukwabelana ngolwazi lobuchwepheshe ngeke kuphumelele, kodwa kuzoshiya izwekazi kwinhlanganisela enonya ye-Nike, inyanga, umakhalekhukhwini, nommese wasehlathini.
U-Matthew Parris: Kungigqugquzele, kwavuselela ukholo lwami olunciphayo ekuthuthukiseni ukuphana kwezwe. Nokho, ukuya eMalawi kwavuselela omunye umbono, engiye ngazama ukuwuqeda ukuphila kwami konke, kodwa kuwumbono engingazange ngikwazi ukuwugwema kusukela ebuntwaneni bami e-Afrika. Kudida imiqondo yami yemibono, yenqabe ngenkani ukuvumelana nombono wami wezwe, futhi kudida inkolelo yami ekhulayo yokuthi akekho uNkulunkulu. Manje, njengomuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, ngiyaqiniseka ngomthelela omkhulu ubuvangeli bobuKristu obunawo e-Afrika - ehluke ngokuphelele ezinhlanganweni zomphakathi zezwe, amaphrojekthi kahulumeni, kanye nemizamo yosizo yamazwe ngamazwe. Lokhu akwanele. Imfundo nokufundisa kukodwa akwanele. E-Afrika, ubuKristu bushintsha izinhliziyo zabantu. Kuletha ushintsho olungokomoya. Ukuzalwa kabusha kungokoqobo. Ushintsho luhle. …Ngingathi kuyihlazo ukuthi insindiso iyingxenye yephakheji, kodwa amaKristu amhlophe namnyama asebenza e-Afrika aphulukisa abagulayo, afundisa abantu ukufunda nokubhala; futhi ngumuntu ongashiyi lutho kuphela ongabheka esibhedlela semishini noma esikoleni futhi athi umhlaba ubungaba ngcono ngaphandle kwaso... Ukuthatha ukusakazwa kwevangeli lobuKristu ngaphandle kwe-equation yase-Afrika kungase kushiye izwekazi emseni wenhlanganisela engcolile. : Nike, isangoma, umakhalekhukhwini nocelemba.
Impilo nenhlalakahle
- 1 ( Johane 3:11 ) Ngoba yilo umlayezo enawuzwa kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi kufanele sithandane.
- ( 1 Petru 2:17 ) 17 Hloniphani bonke abantu . Thandani ubuzalwane. Mesabeni uNkulunkulu. Hlonipha inkosi.
Impilo nenhlalakahle yizindaba eziseduze namalungelo abantu. Ikakhulukazi inhlalakahle yengqondo incike kakhulu kwabanye abantu, okungukuthi, indlela esisabela ngayo ekuziphatheni kwabanye kithina. Ngokuvamile, uma ingane inesimo sokukhula esisekelayo, abangane nabazali abanothando, cishe iyokhula ibe umuntu omdala ozamukelayo yena nabanye. Umphefumulo wakhe kanye nengqondo yakhe kulungile ngoba waziswa futhi wathandwa. Okufanayo kuyiqiniso, nakubantu abadala. Nabo baphila kahle uma bemukelwa futhi behlonishwa. Uyini umthelela wokholo lobuKristu empilweni yengqondo? Kule ndawo, sinikezwe imiyalelo ecacile; kufanele sithande omakhelwane bethu futhi sihloniphe wonke umuntu, njengesibonelo, amavesi adlule abonisa. Inesisekelo esihle sempilo yengqondo kanye namalungelo abantu. Nokho, inhlalakahle yomuntu nayo incike ezicini ezingokomzimba, hhayi ezingokwengqondo kuphela. Uma entula ukudla, enempilo ebuthaka, noma engatholi ukwelashwa lapho egula, lokhu kunciphisa inhlalakahle. Lezi zinto ngokuvamile azenzeki emiphakathini engawahloniphi amalungelo abanye abantu. Siyini isiqondiso seBhayibheli uma kuziwa kubantu abasezimweni ezinzima zokuphila? Kunenqwaba yezimfundiso namavesi ngale ndaba ngasohlangothini lweTestamente Elisha. Zivela emfundisweni kaJesu neyabaphostoli. Basinxusa ukuthi sisize abantu abampofu, abagulayo noma abasenkingeni. Inkinga nje wukuthi siyaphuza ukuzisebenzisa. Ukholo lwethu alusebenzi ngaso sonke isikhathi ngokwanele ukuze ludlulele komakhelwane bethu:
- ( Marku 14:7 ) 7 Ngoba abampofu ninabo ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi noma nini lapho nithanda ningabenzela okuhle, kodwa mina aninami ngaso sonke isikhathi.
- ( 1 Johane 3:17, 18 ) Kepha noma ubani onempahla yaleli zwe, futhi ebona umzalwane wakhe eswele, amvalele ububele bakhe kuye, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luhlala kanjani kuye na? 18 Bantwanyana bami, masingathandi ngezwi noma ngolimi; kodwa ngesenzo langeqiniso.
- ( Jakobe 2:15-17 ) Uma umzalwane noma udade ehamba-ze, eswele ukudla kwemihla ngemihla, 16 Omunye wenu athi kubo: Hambani ngokuthula, lifudumale, lisuthe; kodwa lingabaniki izinto ezidingwa ngumzimba; kusizani? 17 Kanjalo ukholo, uma lungenayo imisebenzi, lufile lulodwa.
- ( Thit 3:14 ) 14 Nabethu mabafunde ukugcina imisebenzi emihle ngezimfanelo ezidingekayo, ukuze bangabi abangatheli.
Nokho, abanye baye balandela izimfundiso zeBhayibheli zangaphambili. Ngenxa yalokho, kuye kwavela izinhlangano eziningi zobuKristu zokupha. Ngokwesibonelo, iNhlangano Yesiphambano Esibomvu yazalwa lapho umKristu onenhliziyo efudumele, uHenri Dunant, ebona usizi lwabalimele enkundleni yempi futhi eqala ukuceba izindlela zokulunciphisa. UFlorence Nightingale, umKristu othembekile owashintsha kokubili ukunakekelwa kwezempi nokuvamile, naye wayesebenzela endaweni efanayo. Abanye abaziwayo nguWilliam Booth, umsunguli weSalvation Army, kanye no-Eglantyne Jebb, umsunguli we-Save the Children. Le nhlangano yokugcina yaqala ngenkathi u-Jebb esebenzela izingane zase-Europe Emaphakathi ezibulawa indlala ngemva kweMpi Yezwe Yokuqala. Isibonelo esisodwa sokusebenza kokholo uJohn Wesley, owayengumshumayeli owaziwayo noyise wenhlangano yamaWeseli ekhulwini le-18. Ngaphansi kwethonya lakhe, iNgilandi yakwazi ukuthola ukuvuselelwa kwezenhlalo kwangempela ngentuthuko ebalulekile yezepolitiki, yezenhlalo, nezomnotho. Banciphisa ukungabi nabulungisa nobumpofu bomphakathi, bephakamisa izinga lokuphila lezinkulungwane zabantu. Isazi-mlando u-J. Wesley Bready size salinganisela ukuthi inhlangano yokuguqula izelamani zakwaWesley yavimbela iNgilandi ekubeni ikhukhulekele ekuvukeleni okufanayo nakubudlova okwenzeka eFrance:
Umlayezo kaWesley wagcizelela ukuqondana kwevangeli. Kwakunganele ukuba umphefumulo womuntu usindiswe, kodwa futhi ingqondo, umzimba, nendawo yomuntu yokuhlala kwakufanele kuguquke. Ngenxa yombono kaWesley, umsebenzi wakhe eBrithani wawungaphezu nje kokushumayela ivangeli. Wavula ikhemisi, isitolo sezincwadi, isikole samahhala, indawo yokukhosela abafelokazi, futhi wasukuma waphikisa ubugqila kudala ngaphambi kokuba uWilliam Wilberforce, umphikisi owaziwa kakhulu wobugqila, azalwe. UWesley wakhuthaza inkululeko yomphakathi neyenkolo futhi wavusa abantu ukuba babone ukuthi abampofu babencishwa ngonya kangakanani. Wavula ama-workshops e-spinning kanye nemisebenzi yezandla waphinde wafundela ubudokotela ukuze asize abaswele. Imizamo kaWesley iholele ekuthuthukisweni kwamalungelo abasebenzi kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwemithetho yezokuphepha ezindaweni zokusebenza. OwayenguNdunankulu waseBrithani uDavid Lloyd George wathi iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu, amaWeseli ayengabaholi abaqavile benhlangano yezinyunyana. … URobert Raikes uqhamuke necebo lokuqala izikole zangeSonto ngoba wayefuna ukunika izingane zezisebenzi ithuba lokuya esikoleni. Abanye abathintwe imvuselelo kaWesley balungisa amakhaya ezintandane, izibhedlela zabagula ngengqondo, izibhedlela kanye namajele. Ngokwesibonelo, uFlorence Nightingale no-Elizabeth Fry, baduma ngokuthuthukisa nokuthuthukisa ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha nesimiso samajele. (10)
