Ngenisa eli nqaku liphakamisayo ukufunda nathi malunga nencoko ka UYesu noNikodimo. Apho iNkosi icacisa ukuba ungazalwa njani ngokutsha, ukuze ungene ebukumkanini bamazulu.
UYesu noNikodimo
Ngesi sihlandlo siza kucamngca ngendinyana yeBhayibhile apho uYesu ethetha nendoda engumYuda egama linguNikodemo. Esi sicatshulwa sebhayibhile sikaYesu noNikodemo sifumaneka kwivangeli kaYohane 3:1-15.
Ngaphambi kokuhlangana kukaYesu noNikodemo, iNkosi yayenze eYerusalem naphambi kwabantu abaninzi, inani elikhulu lemimangaliso. UYesu wayeseYerusalem xa kwakubhiyozelwa umthendeleko ongcwele wePasika.
Umthendeleko ongcwele wePasika wawusesinye seziganeko ezithathu zaminyaka le ekwakufuneka ukuba, ngokomyalelo kaThixo, umYuda ngamnye enze uhambo oluya kwisixeko saseYerusalem. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, amaYuda avela kuyo yonke imimandla yommandla wasePalestina afunyanwa kweso sixeko.
Sidibane apha Imephu yasePalestine ngexesha likaYesu, kuba kulungele ukwenza uhlalutyo kuyo. Ngenxa yokubaluleka kokuqonda ngakumbi ukubaluleka kwesigidimi nobukhulu beNkosi uYesu Krestu.
Kweli khonkco uya kuba nethuba lokubona iinkalo ezifana nentlangano yezobupolitika, iimfundiso zezakwalizwi, amaqela asekuhlaleni nezinye iindawo uYesu awafudukela kuzo xa wayesemhlabeni.
ukholo olungaphelelanga
Emva kwemiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga uYesu awazenzayo ngePasika eYerusalem, isicatshulwa sithi abaninzi bakholwa kuye.” Kodwa kuYesu olu yayilukholo olungaphelelanga, kuba lwalubonakaliswa kuphela ngemimangaliso ababeyibona.
Olo kholo lungaphelelanga lwabangela ukuba uYesu angabamkeli njengabalandeli bokwenyaniso bendlela yakhe. Omnye wabantu owasebenzisa le ngqiqo isengqiqweni wakholelwa ukuba uYesu wayengumntu uThixo awayenaye; YayinguNikodimo.
Emva kwexesha UYesu noNikodimo Banentlanganiso yabucala. Kungenxa yokuba le ndoda, umFarisi nenkokeli phakathi kwamaYuda yayibona ifuna ukwazi okungakumbi ngoYesu. Ebudeni bale ncoko iNkosi ithabatha ithuba lokumenza abone imfuneko yokuzalwa ngokutsha, ukongezelela ekukholelweni ukuze angene ebukumkanini bukaThixo.
UYesu uyayazi ingaphakathi labantu bonke
Ngaphambi kokuphela komhla wePasika, uYesu wayesele efikile eYerusalem yaye akufika wayihlambulula itempile. Esi siganeko samkelwa kakuhle yinkoliso yamaYuda awayezisulu zokuphangwa abatshintshi bemali nabarhwebi abathengisa izilwanyana zamadini.
Kungenxa yokuba uYesu wayejamelene negunya bonke aba baphangi nababesenza ingeniso ngokujika indlu kaYise ibe yindawo yentengiso. Yintoni eyakhokelela ekukrokreleni okukhulu phakathi kwabantu, abakhulileyo, emva kokubona imiqondiso eyenziwa nguYesu xa wayesenza izinto ezinkulu.
Umvangeli uYohane ubhala phambi kwesicatshulwa UYesu noNikodimo; ukuba abantu abaninzi eYerusalem bakholwa kuYesu bakumbona esenza imimangaliso yamandla. Izinto ezimangalisayo ezazibonwa ngabantu njengemiqondiso enegunya elingokobuthixo.
—Yohane 2:23-25 Xa uYesu wayeseJerusalem emthendelekweni wePasika, abantu abaninzi bakholwa egameni lakhe bakubona imiqondiso awayenzayo.. 24 kodwa uYesuNangona kunjalo, babengathembekanga, kuba yena ebazi bonke, 25 yaye kwakungekho mfuneko yakuba kubekho bani unikela ubungqina ngaye ngaloo mntu, ngenxa yokuba Wayeyazi into eyayingaphakathi endodeni.
Kodwa, njengoko kunokubonwa kwesi sicatshulwa seBhayibhile, uYesu akazange ayithembe le ndlela yokukholelwa. Yintoni awayibonayo uYesu echasa olu hlobo lokholo? Impendulo yeyokuba uYesu ngaphaya kokuphulaphula into ethethwa ngaba bantu, Wayeyazi ingaphakathi okanye intliziyo yomntu ngamnye kubo. UYesu wathetha kakuhle, ecaphula izibhalo ezikuIsaya 29:13:
(Mateyu 15:7-8)abahanahanisi! Watyapha uIsaya ukuprofeta ngani, esithi, 8Le dolophu indizukisa ngomlomo, kodwa intliziyo ikude lee kum".
UYesu wayengawathembi amakholwa okuqala aseYerusalem
Yiyo loo nto uYesu engazange aluthembe olu kholo, olwabonakaliswa kuye ngamakholwa okuqala eYerusalem. Yayilukholo olukude noko kumkholisa ngokwenene uThixo.
Ukholo lokwenyani uYesu afuna ukulubona ezintliziyweni zabantu hayi kuphela oluthi: Ndiyakholwa kuThixo. Lulo olu ukholo, inene, olusinika ubomi obungunaphakade elusindisweni ngoKristu Yesu.
Yohane 17:3 (KJV-2015) KUNYE Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo.
EBhayibhileni sinokufumana intaphane yamagama athetha nathi ngobomi obungunaphakade, equlethe idinga eliyintloko likaThixo losindiso ngoNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu. Yiyo loo nto sikumema ukuba uzifunde iivesi zobomi obungunaphakade nosindiso olukuKristu Yesu, ucamngce ngazo.
UYesu ebona umthetho owawukho kumaYuda aseYerusalem, wabona imfuneko yokwenza uhlaziyo olumandla ngaphakathi kubuYuda. Umzekelo woku yayikukuhlanjululwa kwetempile, apho nalapho wavakalisa khona ukuba ngeentsuku ezintathu uya kuvuswa kwabafileyo.
Kodwa esi yayisisaziso esasinokuqonda kuphela abantu abanokholo lokwenene xa imini yokuzaliseka kwelizwi lakhe yafikayo:
UYOHANE 2:22 XHO22; Ethe ngoko, evuka kwabafileyo, Bakhumbula abafundi bakhe ukuba wayekuthethile oku, bakholwa sisibhalo, nalizwi awalithethayo uYesu.
UYesu eYerusalem wadibana nenkolo yobuYuda eyayidlulela ngaphaya kokuzibanga inokholo lokwenene kuThixo, nokukholelwa kwilizwi lakhe. Babengabantu nje bonqulo, ababambelele kumthetho, bewazi umthetho, kodwa bengamazi uThixo.
Asinguye wonke umntu othi ukholelwa kuThixo
Ivangeli esiyifundayo kwisicatshulwa esisuka kuso UYesu noNikodimo, ikwasikhanyisela kwisibakala sokuba: Asinguye wonk’ ubani othi uyakholelwa okholelwa kuThixo. “Abaninzi bakholwa egameni lakhe, bakubona imiqondiso awayenzayo,” utsho njalo uYohane.
Kodwa kwakhona le miqondiso yambeka uYesu njengexhoba lentiyo yamaYuda, awayezibanga ekholelwa kuThixo yaye ethobela imiyalelo yakhe. La maYuda anqulayo amlandela uYesu kungekhona ngokuthe ngqo kuba ayenokuyiqonda into awayeyibona ikwenza, yiyo loo nto iNkosi iwaxelela:
UYOHANE 6:26 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni. ufuna ukuba nam kuba ndibaphakele kungengakuba beyiqondile imiqondiso.
UYOHANE 8:31 waqala ngoko uYesu ukuthi kumaYuda abekholwe kuye, esithi,Ukuba nithe nahlala nisenza elizwini lam, noba ningabalandeli bam, inyaniso-.
La maYuda, ukuze abone nje imiqondiso, athetha ngomlomo kuphela ukuba akholwe, kodwa xa uYesu wayewayalela ukuba alandele iimfundiso zakhe, oku kwawakhathaza. Baphendula abo babesithi bayakholwa, bakukhupha okusentliziyweni yabo, intiyo nokungcikiva uYehova;
UYOHANE 8:48 Ayesithi ngoko amaYuda athile kuye, Xa sisithi, Ungowasemzini, ungumphambukeli, ube nendimoni, asilogunya.
Kula maxesha nanjengala maYuda kwenzeka into efanayo kwabaninzi abathi bakholelwa eNkosini. UThixo uzibonakalisa ebomini bakhe ngendlela emangalisayo.
Kodwa xa befunwa yiNkosi ukuba bahlale kuye kwaye baligcine ilizwi layo. La makholwa akaluthabathi uxanduva nokuzibophelela okuza nokholo lokwenene.
Baphela beyishiya indlela yokulandela uYesu, la makholwa ngokuqhelekileyo afuna uThixo eshukunyiselwe ukucombulula ingxaki ethile, kodwa akanamdla kubunaphakade awunikelayo.
UYesu noNikodimo, omnye wabaFarisi
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sele siyibonile indlela uYesu awayesazi ngayo ngokubona nje okwakusentliziyweni yendoda nganye. Ke kaloku, phakathi kwamadoda, abemangalisiwe ngaphezu kokukholwa kuYesu, ngenxa yemiqondiso awayenzayo, bekukho umntu ogama linguNikodimo.
UNikodemo naye wayengumFarisi, ngalo mboniso isicatshulwa seBhayibhile sikaYohane 3:1-15 siyaqala. Le ndoda yayingomnye wamaYuda awayemoyika uYesu.
Ngolwazi uNikodemo awayenalo njengomFarisi, uchaza uYesu ekuqaleni kwencoko yakhe, njengoRabhi okanye umfundisi. Kwakhona uNikodemo wayecacelwe kukuba le miqondiso wayeyenza uYesu yayinokwenziwa kuphela ngumntu onegunya elivela kuThixo.
Kodwa uYesu, eyazi intliziyo yomntu wonke, wayesazi ukuba ulwazi awayenalo uNikodemo lwalunganelanga. Kwakuyimfuneko ngaye ukuba amenze aqonde ukuba ukongezelela ekukholelweni kwimiqondiso, kwakufuneka azalwe ngokutsha.
Kodwa masikhumbule ukuba esi sicatshulwa siqala ngokuchaza uNikodemo njengomnye wabaFarisi. Ngoko kubalulekile ukunqumama okomzuzwana ukuze sazi ukuba babengoobani na abaFarisi, ukuze siqonde oko kwakusengqondweni kaNikodemo xa wayefuna uYesu.
Babengoobani abaFarisi?
Ngokweetymologically, igama elithi umFarisi livela kwigama lesiHebhere elithi perushim, elintsingiselo yalo yahlukile okanye enyulu. Imo yentetho yala magama yiparush, ukubonisa isenzi ukwahlula.
Eli gama lamkelwa njengengcaciso yelinye lamahlelo amaYuda exesha likaYesu. Yaye amaYuda eli hlelo amkela igama labaFarisi, ezigqala njengahlukileyo kwamanye amaYuda.
Ukwahlukana okunjalo kwakubangelwa kukuba abaFarisi babekholelwa ukuba babengqongqo kunamanye amaYuda. Ngokuphathelele ukuzalisekisa nokulandela ngokuthembekileyo oko kubhekiselele kwiinkonzo, izenzo zemikhosi kunye nemithetho yamaYuda.
AbaFarisi babeneqela elikhulu lamalungu awayezidla ngonqulo lwawo. Phakathi kwebutho lamaYuda exesha likaYesu, eli hlelo lalihlonelwa kakhulu ngenxa yolwazi nengcaciso elalinalo ngemibhalo engcwele.
Oko koko uluntu kunye nabo ngokwabo babekholelwa, ukuba babezalisekisa umyalelo kaThixo. Noko ke, bawonakalisile umthetho, bethabathel’ indawo izithethe zabo, befuna ukuwenza ngokwangaphandle kuphela umthetho. AbaFarisi babekholelwa eluvukweni yaye ngenxa yoko babekholelwa elusindisweni, kodwa ngendlela ephosakeleyo.
Ekubeni babesithi usindiso lwalufanele luzuzwe ngemisebenzi, ngokungqongqo ethobela uMthetho kaThixo. Ngoko ke, ukuba babezikholelwa baze bazibize ngokwahlukileyo kuba bezigqala benyulu, ubunyulu obunjalo babungaphandle nje.
Oku kusenza siqonde amaxesha amaninzi uYesu awathetha ngawo abaFarisi njengabahanahanisi, abonqulo okanye ababuxoki. Ngenxa yokuba nabo babezikholelwa ukuba bongamile kunabanye abantu, enoba babengamaYuda okanye babengawo.
UYesu noNikodimo, inkokeli yamaYuda
Inkcazo-ntetho yale ndoda kwisicatshulwa esivela UYesu noNikodimo, udlulela ngaphaya kokuba ngumFarisi. Umvangeli ugqibezela intetho yakhe ngokusixelela ukuba ukwayinkokeli phakathi kwamaYuda.
Oko kuthetha ukuba uNikodemo wayengenguye nawuphi na umFarisi, wayekwakwiSanhedrin yamaYuda. Oko kukuthi, inkundla ephakamileyo okanye inkundla yamaYuda, ukuze uNikodemo abe yindoda eyayinodumo oluhle, ngenxa yesikhundla okanye isikhundla sakhe kwibutho laseYerusalem.
Kwiindinyana zeBhayibhile ezicatshulwe ngezantsi sinokubona ezinye zezi. Okokuqala, umvangeli uYohane uqaphela uNikodemo njengelungu leSanhedrin yaye okwesibini, uYesu ngokwakhe umchaza njengomfundisi wakwaSirayeli, oorabhi babenegama elihle phakathi kwamaYuda:
Yohane 7:50-51 ( NKJV ): 50 UNikodimo, owathi Ndandiye kuthetha noYesu ebusuku kwaye yayingomnye wabo, les wathi: 51 Umthetho wethu uyamgweba na umntu, engekamva, engayazi into ayenzileyo?? -
Yohane 3:9-10 ( NKJV ): 9 UNikodimo wambuza: -Y Inokwenzeka njani le nto? – 10 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ungumfundisi nje wakwaSirayeli, ungazazi na?? -
Ngoko ke, ekubeni wayengumFarisi kwanenkokeli phakathi kwamaYuda, uNikodemo, umele ukuba wayenomthwalo omkhulu wolwazi. Kodwa, phezu kwalo lonke olu lwazi, kufuneka ndiye kumfuna uYesu ukuze ndikwazi ukuba nencoko yangasese kunye naye, ndikwazi ukuyiqonda into eyayithethwa yiNkosi.
Oku kusishiya nesifundo esikhulu, kwaye eso sisakhono sokuqonda anokuthi umntu abenaso. Ayinanto yakwenza namandla okuqonda iinyaniso zokomoya ezifihlwe kwilizwi likaThixo, njengoNikodemo, oko uYesu wayefuna ukumfundisa kona.
Kwakutheni ukuze aye kubona uYesu ebusuku?
Ekufikeni kwakhe eYerusalem kwiPasika, uYesu waba neengxwabangxwaba eziliqela neenkokeli zamaYuda. Kunye nababingeleli betempile, njengakwiSanhedrin neetoliki zoMthetho, njengababhali nabaFarisi.
Ezi mpikiswano zabangela ukuba uYesu angathandwa ziinkokeli eziphambili zamaYuda. Ukuba sijonga ivesi yamashumi amahlanu ecatshulwe ngasentla, sibona ukuba uNikodemo uya kuthetha noYesu ebusuku.
Oku kuziphatha kukaNikodemo kunokuqondwa ngeendlela ezimbini, eyokuqala, wayefuna ukuzikhusela ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe okanye isikhundla sakhe ekuhlaleni, ukuze bangamboni ethetha noYesu ngasese. Okwesibini, yayikoyisa umkhethe awayenawo ngaphakathi ukuqonda ubulumko obugqwesileyo obabukuYesu.
Kwakunzima kuye ukoyisa, ngaphezu kwako konke, ukuba obu bulumko bubalaseleyo bathwalwa yindoda yaseGalili. Okokuba, kubuYuda belo xesha, ukuba ngumGalili kwakuyeyona nto iphantsi phakathi kwamaYuda.
Ngaphezu koko, uNikodemo wayesazi ukuba uYesu wayengaphumi kuso nasiphi na isikolo esaziwayo soorabhi eYerusalem. Kwakunzima kuNikodemo ukuba aye kuYesu ukuze athethe ngemibandela yonqulo ebaluleke gqitha.
Yintoni esenza siqonde namhlanje, ukuba uNikodemo wakhetha iiyure zobusuku ukuba atyelele uYesu. Ngaloo ndlela yayingenakubonwa naliphi na elinye ilungu leSanhedrin yamaYuda.
Uzelwe ngokutsha, ukungena eBukumkanini bukaThixo
Xa uNikodemo efika ebusweni bukaYesu, uyaluthethelela utyelelo lwakhe ngala mazwi alandelayo:
UYOHANE 3:2-XNUMX XHOXNUMX - Rabhi, siyazi ukuba ungumfundisi ovela kuThixo, kuba akukho namnye unako ukuyenza le miqondiso uyenzayo wena, ukuba uThixo akanaye.
Kuqala uNikodemo ngegama elithi “siyazi”, lenza ukuba uYesu abone ukuba ayipheleli nje ekutsaleni okusengqiqweni. Ukuba uthile wenza imiqondiso enjalo, kwakungenxa yokuba uThixo wayephezu kwakhe.
Kuthetha ukuba, ukuba sithembele kwesi sicatshulwa silandelayo, ukuba amalungu aliqela eSanhedrin okanye abaFarisi bavumelana kwisigqibo esifanayo sikaNikodemo:
UYOHANE 12:42 Naphezu kwazo zonke ezo zinto, kwakukho abaninzi, kwanaphakathi kweenkokeli zamaYuda, ababekholelwa kuYesu. Kodwa abazange babe nabuganga bakuvakalisa ekuhleni, kuba babesoyika ukuba abaFarisi baza kubagxotha kwindlu yesikhungu.
Ndibuyela kwincoko UYesu noNikodimo, sinomFarisi phambi kweNkosi. Kodwa, yintoni eyahlula lo mFarisi kwabanye abaFarisi nabanye ababalaseleyo?
Umahluko yayikukuba uNikodemo wayefuna ukwazi ngakumbi ngoYesu, iNkosi yayizazi iingcinga zikaNikodimo, yiyo loo nto emphendulayo ngaphandle kokuba abuze imibuzo:
UYOHANE 3:3 Umphendule uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe. Lowo ungazalwanga ngokutsha, akanakububona ubukumkani bukaThixo-.
Ndinokungena njani eBukumkanini bukaThixo?
Umbuzo owaphendulwa nguYesu wawusentliziyweni kaNikodemo kwaye wawusithi: Ndingangena njani eBukumkanini bukaThixo? Uhlobo lwempendulo uYesu awalunika lo mFarisi nomphathi lwaluxhaphake kakhulu kuYe, ngendlela efuziselayo okanye njengomzekeliso.
Kodwa kule mpendulo, uYesu wayefundisa uNikodemo ingongoma eyintloko ebaluleke gqitha ngokuphathelele usindiso: Umntu akanako ukuzisindisa, njengoko ingxelo yabaFarisi yayisithethelelayo.
Imvelo yesono yomntu ayimvumeli ukuba azisindise, nayiphi na imisebenzi ayenzileyo ebomini. Umntu kufuneka ambathe indalo entsha, ayibulale endala kwaye oku kunokwenziwa kuphela ngoKristu Yesu.
Kukufa ukuzalwa ngokutsha, kodwa nangobulumko bomntu awabuthwala uNikodemo, akazange ayiqonde le ndlela intsha yokuzalwa awayefuna ukuyifundisa uYesu:
UYOHANE 3:4 Wathi uNikodemo kuye, Angathini na umntu ukuzalwa eselemdala? Unokungena na esizalweni sikanina, azalwe ngokutsha? -
UNikodemo wayengaluqondi ulwimi awayethetha ngalo uYesu kuba wayewatolika ngokoqobo nangokwengqiqo yakhe. Lo mFarisi uqaqadekileyo ekuchazeni umthetho akazange ayiqonde into yokuba uYesu wayemfundisa ngohlobo olwahlukileyo lokuzalwa, ukuzalwa ngomoya.
Siyakumema ukuba uqhubeke uzakha elizwini, ungena apha: ¿Luluphi ulwimi uYesu awaluthetha nabafundi bakhe? Siyazi ukuba uYesu ebudeni bobomi bakhe nomsebenzi wakhe wasesidlangalaleni emhlabeni wayenxibelelana nabantu ebafundisa isigidimi soBukumkani bukaThixo ngemizekeliso. Kodwa uYesu wayenxibelelana njani nabafundi bakhe? okanye, Wayethetha luphi na ulwimi uYesu kubafundi bakhe nakwabanye abantu? Ngena apha ukuze ufunde ngesi sihloko kuxoxwa ngaso namhlanje.
