En UYohane 17, siya kufumana owona mthandazo mde owenziwa nguYesu, kwibhayibhile iphela, kwaye namhlanje apha, siza kube sithetha ngesi sahluko; Siza kwenza umboniso omncinci nangaphezulu.
IVangeli kaYohane, isahluko 17
Kuzo zonke iivangeli, ukuba sinikela ingqalelo, sinokubona indlela owawubaluleke ngayo umthandazo kuYesu. Iintsuku zakhe zazihlala ziqala ngencoko noyise, ngokunjalo, nanini na ithuba livela, wayecela ubukho namandla kaThixo.
Maxa wambi, wayethandaza eyedwa, njengoko sibona kuMarko 1:35 yaye kwabanye, wayekwenza oku ekunye, oko kunjalo nakuYohane 11:41-42; Ngokukwanjalo, ngaphambi kwesidlo, wayesoloko ethandaza, njengoko sibona kuLuka 24:30 , kwanasemva kokuphiliswa, njengoko kubonisiwe kuLuka 15:12-16 . Oku kusibonisa ukuba umthandazo wawuyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi bukaYesu.
Kwisahluko 17 sencwadi yeVangeli kaYohane, siya kufumana owona mthandazo mde owenziwa nguYesu, yaye kwenzeka kamsinya ngaphambi kokuphela kokushumayela kwakhe emhlabeni; emva kokuba uYesu ecacisele abafundi bakhe ukuba, ngethutyana nje elingephi, naye wayeya kuyeka ukubakhapha emhlabeni.
Uthetha nabo ngokuza kwenzeka emva kokumka kwakhe, ngokunjalo, uyabakhuthaza ngokuthi “Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze nibe noxolo kum. Kweli hlabathi niya kujongana neembandezelo, kodwa yomelelani! mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi,” la mazwi afumaneka kuYohane 16:33 .
Umthandazo owenziwa nguYesu kwiVangeli ye-17 kaYohane wahlulwe waba ziinxalenye ezintathu:
- Yohane 17:1-5 : Apha sibona uYesu ezithandazela, yaye evuma ukuba lifikile ixesha lokuba adibane noyise.
Ngaphambi kwale nxalenye yokuqala, kufuneka sicacise ukuba ukuzithandazela ayisosenzo sokuzingca, ngokwahlukileyo koko; ekubeni, ngaphambi kokuba uqalise ukuthandazela abanye, kubalulekile ukuzithandazela.
- Yohane 17:6-19 : Kwezi ndinyana, uYesu uthandazela abafundi bakhe, yaye ubanika uthumo lwabo olutsha.
- UYohane 17:20-26: Okokugqibela, uYesu usicela sonke abathi kamva baba ngamakholwa, ngenxa yokuthembeka kwabafundi bakhe, abathe bakuthwala ukusasaza isigidimi sakhe.
Ngoku, siza kuqhubeka ukubona icandelo ngalinye ngokweenkcukacha ezithe vetshe; kodwa kuqala, singathanda ukukumema ukuba ufunde inqaku lethu imithandazo enamandla kuwo onke amaxesha, yaye ngaloo ndlela, bakwazi ukulomeleza ngakumbi ulwalamano noThixo.
UYesu uyazithandazela
1 Ezi zinto wazithetha uYesu, wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe wakhangela ezulwini, wathi, Bawo, lifikile ilixa; mzukise uNyana wakho, ukuze noNyana wakho akuzukise;
2 ukuba umnike igunya phezu kwenyama yonke, ukuze bonke omnike bona, abanike ubomi obungunaphakade.
3 Bubo ke obu ubomi obungunaphakade, ukuba mabakwazi, wena ukuphela koThixo oyinyaniso, naye uYesu Kristu omthumileyo.
4 Mna ndikuzukisile emhlabeni; ndiwufezile umsebenzi obundinikile ukuba ndiwenze.
5 Ndizukise ke ngoku, wena Bawo, ecaleni kwakho, ngolo zuko bendinalo kuwe, lingekabikho ihlabathi.
KwiVangeli kaYohane, isahluko 16 , uYesu wayethetha nabafundi bakhe ngoko kwakuza kwenzeka kwimihla elandelayo; Ngoko, kulapha apho uYesu wawaphakamisela ezulwini amehlo akhe, ngokungathi ujonge uyise, waza waqalisa incoko naye. Uyazi ukuba ngokwenene imihla yakhe emhlabeni iza kuphela, kodwa ekuphela kwento anomdla kuyo kukuba uThixo azukiswe.
Ukufa kwakhe emnqamlezweni kwakusondele kakhulu, kodwa novuko lwakhe lwalusondele; idini elingaka lingasebenza njengembonakaliso yothando olukhulu loku nolukaBawo, kuthi sonke.
Okwalo mzuzu, uvuyo lukaYesu mayela nomsebenzi wakhe apha emhlabeni, lwalulukhulu, ngokufanayo, ngokwesiphumo salo: ubomi obungunaphakade bufumaneka kumntu wonke; UYesu uyibhulorho elubuyiselwa ngayo unxibelelwano olupheleleyo noThixo. Ngaye, umsebenzi wosindiso ufezwa kubo bonke abantu abalapha emhlabeni.
Lalifikile ixesha lokubuyela kuyise, kodwa kuqala kwafuneka ajamelane nenxalenye enzima yobomi bakhe: ukufa emnqamlezweni; nangona, uYesu ugqiba ekubeni agxininise kuvuyo olukhulu lokuba umsebenzi wentlawulelo awayewufezile wamshiya kunye nesibakala sokuba emva kokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni nentlawulelo, uya kuzifumana kwakhona esebusweni bukaThixo “ngozuko ebendinalo kuni. ngaphambi kokuba umhlaba ubekho”.
UYesu uthandazela abafundi bakhe
6 Ndilibonakalisile igama lakho kubo abantu obundinike bona, bephuma ehlabathini; babengabakho, wabanika mna, nelizwi lakho balibambile ke.
7 Ngoku baqondile, ukuba zonke izinto ondinike zona ziphuma kuwe;
8 Ngokuba amazwi ondinike wona, ndiwanike bona; bona bawathabatha, baqonda ngokwenyaniso ukuba ndaphuma kuwe; bakholwa ukuba wena wandithuma.
9 Ndiyabathandazela; andiceleli lona ihlabathi, ndicelela abo undinike bona; ngokuba bengabakho,
10 Izinto zonke ezizezam zezakho, zibe okwakho zezam; Ndizukisiwe ke kubo.
11 Andisekhona ehlabathini; ke bona basehlabathini, mna ke ndiza kuwe. Bawo Ongcwele, abo undinike bona, bagcine egameni lakho, ukuze babe banye njengathi.
12 Oko bendinabo ehlabathini mna, bendibalondolozele egameni lakho; owandinika bona ndibagcinile, akukho namnye kubo utshabaleleyo, ingenguye lowo wentshabalalo, ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke.
13 Ngoku ke ndiza kuwe; ndithetha oku ehlabathini, ukuze babe nalo uvuyo lwam luzalisekile kubo.
14 Mna ndibanike ilizwi lakho; laza ihlabathi labathiya, ngokuba bengengabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi.
15 Andiceli ukuba ubasuse ehlabathini; ndicela ukuba ubagcine kuyo inkohlakalo.
16 Abangabo abehlabathi, njengokuba nam ndingenguye owehlabathi.
17 Bangcwalise ngayo inyaniso yakho; ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso.
18 Njengokuba wandithuma ehlabathini, nam ndibathume bona ehlabathini.
19 Ngenxa yabo ke ndiyazingcwalisa mna, ukuze nabo babe ngabangcwalisiweyo yinyaniso.
Ngeli xesha, uYesu uhlabela mgama ethandazela abafundi bakhe, ekubeni yena ngokwakhe wayevuya kakhulu yaye enombulelo ukuba abelane nabo ngobomi bakhe nangamazwi akhe; Ngenxa yoko, abafundi bakhe abazange banele nje ukuphulaphula baza bamkela amazwi akhe, kodwa kwakhona, babethembekile kuye bema beqinile elukholweni lwabo.
UYesu ucela ubawo ukuba abathethelele, abakhusele, abagcine bemanyene; Wayeqonda ukuba ekubeni bengabafundi bakhe, babeza kujamelana namaxesha anzima, kuba kwakuya kubakho abo bazama ukubenzakalisa. Ucela uThixo ukuba abakhusele kumtyholi, ekubeni yena, ekulangazeleleni kwakhe ukuphelisa umsebenzi, wayeya kubahlasela abafundi bakhe; emva koko, cela ubawo ukuba anikele ukhuseleko ngokukodwa kolu hlaselo.
Phambi kobubi obukhoyo ehlabathini, bangcwaliswa abafundi, baguqulwa yinyaniso yelizwi nobabalo lukaYise; ubomi obungcwalisiweyo babafundi bakaYesu, basebenza njengembonakaliso yomahluko wokuphila phantsi komyalelo wakhe.
Le yayiyimbonakaliso ephilayo yenguqulelo uYesu ayenzayo kubomi babalandeli bakhe, yaye ngenxa yesi sizathu, babeza kujamelana neengxaki nentshutshiso.
Kungalo mzuzu, xa uYesu ebathuma ukuba basasaze isigidimi sobomi obungunaphakade kulo lonke ihlabathi; ekubeni, emva kwexesha elifutshane, akaba sahamba nabo. Ngeli nqanaba, abafundi bakhe babekulungele ngokupheleleyo ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe.
UYesu uthandazela onke amakholwa
20 Andiceleli ke aba bodwa, ndicelela nabo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo;
21 ukuze bonke babe banye; njengokuba wena, Bawo, ukum, mna ndikuwe, mabathi nabo babe banye kuthi; ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba wena wandithuma.
22 Uzuko owandinika lona, ndilunike bona; ukuze babe banye, njengokuba thina sibanye.
23 mna ndikubo, wena ukum, ukuze babe ngabazalisekileyo ntweni-nye; ukuze liqonde ihlabathi ukuba wena wandithuma, nokuba ubathandile, njengokuba wandithandayo nam.
24 Bawo, ndithanda ukuba abo undinike bona, babe nam, apho ndikhona mna, ukuze balubone uzuko lwam ondinike lona; ngokuba wandithanda kwaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi.
25 Bawo olilungisa, ihlabathi lona alikwazanga, ke mna ndikwazile; bathe baqonda ukuba wena wandithuma.
26 Ndilazise kubo igama lakho, yaye ndiya kubazisa ngakumbi, ukuze uthando ondithande ngalo lube kubo, nam ndibe kubo.
Okokugqibela, uYesu uquka emthandazweni wakhe bonke abo baya kuthi kamva babe ngamakholwa, ngenxa yokuthembeka nokuzibhokoxa kwabafundi bakhe; naye wayebathembile ngokupheleleyo ukuba baya kuqhubeka nomsebenzi awayewuqalile. Njengoko sibona kuMateyu 16:18 , uYesu wayesazi ukuba amasango eHadesi ayengayi kuma nxamnye nebandla lakhe.
Umanyano ngumnqweno wokuqala kaYesu kubafundi bakhe nabakholwayo kamva; umanyano olufana nolo wayelugcine noYise. Ucela ukuba abantwana bakhe bafezeke bemanyene, ekubeni beya kuba lumanyano; kwaye ngale ndlela, bekuya kwaziwa kulo lonke ihlabathi ukuba uThixo wathumela unyana wakhe emhlabeni.
Umsebenzi kaYesu wagqitywa, ngoko uthi kubawo: “Ndilazisile kubo igama lakho, yaye ndiya kulazisa ngakumbi, ukuze uthando ondithande ngalo lube kubo, nam ndibe kubo.” ; UYesu wayebabonise indlela eya kuThixo, yaye wayeza kuma ngakubo, ebakhokelela kwicala labo. Esi sithembiso sobukho bakhe siye sabakhuthaza yaye besomeleza bonke abantwana bakhe kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.
Kungalo mzuzu, xa abafundi baqondayo ekugqibeleni ukuba uYesu wayenguThixo owenziwe umntu, oweza emhlabeni ngeyona njongo inye yokusisondeza kuThixo uYise; yaye lo yayingumyalezo ababephethe wona ukuwudlulisela.
Kodwa, sithi, izizukulwana ezilandelayo zamakholwa kuYesu, sinoxanduva lokuzabalazela ukufikelela imfezeko ngokumanyana, kwaye ngale ndlela, ihlabathi liyakuqonda ukuba uYesu unguThixo.
