En UJohane 17, sizothola umthandazo omude kunawo wonke owenziwa nguJesu, weBhayibheli lonke, futhi namuhla lapha, sizobe sikhuluma ngalesi sahluko; Sizokwenza ukucabanga okuncane nokunye okwengeziwe.
IVangeli likaJohane, isahluko 17
Kuwo wonke amavangeli, uma sinaka, singabona ukuthi umthandazo wawubaluleke kangakanani kuJesu. Izinsuku zakhe zazihlala ziqala ngengxoxo noyise, ngokufanayo, noma nini lapho ithuba livela, wayecela ubukhona namandla kaNkulunkulu.
Ngezinye izikhathi, imithandazo yakhe yayiyedwa, njengoba sibona kuMarku 1:35 futhi kwabanye, wayekwenza ekanye, kunjalo nakuJohane 11:41-42; Ngokufanayo, ngaphambi kokudla, wayethandaza njalo, njengoba sibona kuLuka 24:30 , ngisho nangemva kokuphulukiswa, njengoba kuboniswe kuLuka 15:12-16 . Lokhu kusibonisa ukuthi umthandazo wawuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphila kukaJesu.
Esahlukweni 17, seVangeli likaJohane, sizothola umthandazo omude kunawo wonke owenziwa uJesu, futhi kwenzeka ngaphambi nje kokuphela kokushumayela kwakhe emhlabeni; ngemva kokuba uJesu echazele abafundi bakhe ukuthi, ngesikhashana nje, wayezoyeka ukuhamba nabo emhlabeni.
Ukhuluma nabo ngokuzokwenzeka ngemuva kokuhamba kwakhe, ngokunjalo uyabakhuthaza ngokuthi “Nginitshelile lezi zinto ukuze nithole ukuthula kimi. Kulomhlaba niyobhekana nezinhlupheko, kodwa yimani isibindi! Mina ngilinqobile izwe,” la mazwi atholakala kuJohane 16:33 .
Umthandazo owenziwa nguJesu eVangelini likaJohane le-17 uhlukaniswe waba izingxenye ezintathu:
- Johane 17:1-5: Lapha sibona uJesu ezithandazela, futhi evuma ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuhlangana noyise.
Ngaphambi kwale ngxenye yokuqala, kufanele sicacise ukuthi ukuzithandazela akusona isenzo sobugovu, okuphambene kakhulu; njengoba, ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukuthandazela abanye, kubalulekile ukuzithandazela.
- Johane 17:6-19: Kula mavesi, uJesu uthandazela abafundi bakhe, futhi ubanika umsebenzi wabo omusha.
- Johane 17:20-26: Ekugcineni, uJesu usicela sonke esiye saba ngamakholwa, ngenxa yokwethembeka kwabafundi bakhe, abazibekela isibopho sokudlulisa umlayezo wakhe.
Manje, sizoqhubeka nokubona isigaba ngasinye ngokuningiliziwe; kodwa okokuqala, sithanda ukukumema ukuthi ufunde isihloko sethu esithi imithandazo enamandla yazo zonke izikhathi, futhi kanjalo, ukwazi ukuqhubeka ukuqinisa ubuhlobo noNkulunkulu.
UJesu uyazithandazela
1 UJesu wakhuluma lokho, waphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, wathi: “Baba, ihora selifikile; khazimulisa iNdodana yakho, ukuze iNdodana yakho ikukhazimulise;
2 ukuthi uyiphile kanjani amandla phezu kwenyama yonke, ukuze bonke omnike yona, ibaphe ukuphila okuphakade.
3 Futhi lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade: ukuba bazi wena, owukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso, noJesu Kristu, omthumileyo.
4 Ngikukhazimulisile emhlabeni; sengiwuqedile umsebenzi onginike wona ukuba ngiwenze.
5 Manje-ke, Baba, ngikhazimulise eceleni kwakho ngenkazimulo enganginayo kuwe izwe lingakabikho.
EVangelini likaJohane, isahluko 16, uJesu wayekhuluma nabafundi bakhe ngalokho okwakuzokwenzeka ezinsukwini ezilandelayo; Ngakho, kulapha lapho uJesu aphakamisela khona amehlo akhe ezulwini, njengokungathi ubheke uyise, futhi waqala ingxoxo naye. Uyazi ukuthi izinsuku zakhe emhlabeni sezizophela ngempela, kodwa okuwukuphela kwesithakazelo sakhe ukuthi uNkulunkulu makakhazinyuliswe.
Ukufa kwakhe esiphambanweni kwakuseduze kakhulu, kodwa kwakusenjalo nokuvuka kwakhe; umhlatshelo wobukhulu obunjalo uzosebenza njengenkomba yothando olukhulu lwalokhu kanye nolukaBaba, kithi sonke.
Ngalesi sikhathi, injabulo kaJesu mayelana nomsebenzi wakhe lapha emhlabeni, yayinkulu, ngokufanayo, ngokomphumela wayo: ukuphila okuphakade okutholakala kuwo wonke umuntu; UJesu uyibhuloho okubuyiselwa ngalo ukuxhumana okugcwele noNkulunkulu. Ngaye, umsebenzi wensindiso ufezwa kubo bonke abantu abalapha emhlabeni.
Kwase kuyisikhathi sokubuyela kuyise, kodwa okokuqala kwadingeka abhekane nengxenye enzima yokuphila kwakhe: ukufa esiphambanweni; nakuba, uJesu enquma ukugxila enjabulweni enkulu ukuthi umsebenzi wokuhlenga ayewenzile umshiyile nokuthi ngemva kokubethelwa esiphambanweni nokuhlengwa, wayezophinde azithole esephambi kukaNkulunkulu “ngenkazimulo enganginayo phakathi kwenu. ngaphambi kwalokho umhlaba wawukhona”.
UJesu uthandazela abafundi bakhe
6 Ngilibonakalisile ibizo lakho ebantwini onginike bona bevela emhlabeni; babengabakho, wanginika bona, futhi baligcinile izwi lakho.
7 Khathesi sebesazi ukuthi konke onginike khona kuvela kuwe;
8 ngoba amazwi onginike wona, ngibanikile wona; futhi bawemukela, futhi bazi ngempela ukuthi ngavela kuwe, futhi bayakholwa ukuthi wena ungithumile.
9 Ngiyabakhulekela; kangikhulekeli umhlaba, kodwa labo onginike bona; ngoba bangabakho,
10 futhi konke okwami kungokwakho, nokwakho kungokwami; futhi ngikhazinyulisiwe kubo.
11 Futhi angisekho ezweni; kodwa laba basemhlabeni, mina ngiza kuwe. Baba oNgcwele, labo onginike bona, balondoloze egameni lakho, ukuze babe munye njengathi.
12 Ngesikhathi nginabo ezweni, ngabagcina egameni lakho; enanginika bona ngibagcinile, akakho noyedwa kubo owalahlekayo, kuphela indodana yokulahlwa, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo.
13 Kodwa manje ngiza kuwe; futhi lokhu ngikusho ezweni, ukuze babe nokuthokoza kwami kugcwaliseke kubo.
14 Mina ngibanikile izwi lakho; futhi izwe labazonda, ngoba bengesibo abezwe, njengoba nje nami ngingeyena owezwe.
15 Kangiceli ukuthi ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuthi ubavikele kokubi.
16 Abasibo abezwe, njengalokhu nami ngingesiye owezwe.
17 Bangcwelise eqinisweni lakho; Izwi lakho liyiqiniso.
18 Njengalokhu wangithuma emhlabeni, lami ngibathumile emhlabeni.
19 Futhi ngenxa yabo ngiyazingcwelisa, ukuze nabo bangcweliswe eqinisweni.
Ngalesi sikhathi, uJesu uyaqhubeka ethandazela abafundi bakhe, njengoba naye ngokwakhe wayejabule kakhulu futhi ebonga ukwabelana ngokuphila kwakhe namazwi akhe kubo; Ngenxa yalokho, abafundi bakhe abazange bagcine ngokulalela futhi bamukele amazwi akhe, kodwa futhi, babethembekile kuye futhi bema baqine okholweni lwabo.
UJesu ucela ubaba ukuba abakhulumele, abavikele futhi abagcine bemunye; Wayazi kahle ukuthi njengoba bengabafundi bakhe, babeyobhekana nezikhathi ezinzima, ngoba kwakuyoba khona labo ababezama ukubalimaza. Ucela uNkulunkulu ukuba abavikele kudeveli, njengoba yena, ekushisekeleni kwakhe ukumisa umsebenzi, wayezohlasela abafundi bakhe; bese ucela ubaba ukuthi anikeze isivikelo ngokuqondile kulokhu kuhlasela.
Ebukhoneni bobubi obukhona emhlabeni, abafundi bangcweliswa, baguqulwa ngeqiniso lezwi nangomusa kaBaba; ukuphila okungcwelisiwe kwabafundi bakaJesu, kwasebenza njengesibonakaliso somehluko wokuphila ngaphansi komyalo wakhe.
Lokhu kwakuwumfanekiso ophilayo wenguquko uJesu ayenzayo ekuphileni kwabalandeli bakhe, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu, babeyobhekana nezinkinga noshushiso.
Kungalesi sikhathi, lapho uJesu ebathuma ukuba basakaze isigijimi sokuphila okuphakade emhlabeni wonke; njengoba, ngemva kwesikhathi esifushane, wayengabe esabaphelezela. Ngalesi sikhathi, abafundi bakhe base bekulungele ngokugcwele ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe.
UJesu uthandazela wonke amakholwa
20 Kodwa kangikhulekeli laba kuphela, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo;
21 ukuze bonke babe munye; njengalokhu wena, Baba ukimi, nami ngikuwe, mababe munye nathi; ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.
22 Inkazimulo onginike yona, ngibanikile bona, ukuze babe munye, njengalokhu thina simunye.
23 Mina ngibe kubo, lawe ukimi, ukuze bapheleliswe ebunyeni, ukuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, lokuthi ubathandile, njengalokhu ungithandile mina.
24 Baba, labo onginike bona, ngithanda ukuthi lapho engikhona, labo babe lami, ukuze babone inkazimulo yami onginike yona; ngoba wangithanda kungakasekelwa umhlaba.
25 Baba olungileyo, umhlaba kawukwazi, kodwa mina ngikwazile, njalo bayakwazi ukuthi ungithumile.
26 Futhi ngibazisile ibizo lakho, futhi ngizakwenza laziwe kakhulu, ukuze uthando ongithande ngalo lube kubo, lami ngibe kubo.
Ekugcineni, emthandazweni wakhe uJesu uhlanganisa bonke labo kamuva abayoba amakholwa, ngenxa yokwethembeka nokuzikhandla kwabafundi bakhe; naye wayethembe ngokugcwele ukuthi bazoqhubeka nomsebenzi ayewuqalile. Njengoba sibona kuMathewu 16:18 , uJesu wayazi ukuthi amasango eHayidese ayengeke amelane nebandla lakhe.
Ubunye buyisifiso sokuqala sikaJesu ngabafundi bakhe kanye nabakholwayo kamuva; ubunye obufana nalobo ayenabo noBaba. Ucela ukuba abantwana bakhe bafinyelele ukuphelela ngobunye, njengoba ubunye buyibo obubenza bahluke; futhi ngale ndlela, kwakuzokwaziwa emhlabeni wonke ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathumela indodana yakhe emhlabeni.
Umsebenzi kaJesu waqedwa, ngakho uthi kubaba “Ngibazisile igama lakho, futhi ngizolazisa nakakhulu, ukuze uthando ongithande ngalo lube kubo, nami ngibe-kubo. ; UJesu wayebabonise indlela eya kuNkulunkulu, futhi wayezoma eceleni kwabo, abahole endleleni yabo. Lesi sithembiso sokuba khona kwakhe yisona esikhuthaze futhi saqinisa bonke abantwana bakhe ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
Kungalesi sikhathi, lapho abafundi ekugcineni beqonda ukuthi uJesu wayenguNkulunkulu osenyameni, owehlele emhlabeni ngenhloso eyodwa yokusisondeza kuNkulunkulu uBaba; futhi lona nje kwakuwumyalezo ababephethe ukuwudlulisa.
Kodwa, yithi, izizukulwane ezilandelayo zamakholwa kuJesu, esinomthwalo wemfanelo wokulwela ukufinyelela ukuphelela ngobunye, futhi ngale ndlela, umhlaba uyaqaphela ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu.
Umbono wamadoda amakhulu ngoJohane 17
“Eqinisweni, lo mthandazo uthinta inhliziyo futhi uyathandeka. Usivulela ingxenye ejulile yenhliziyo Yakhe, ngokuqondene nathi futhi ngokuqondene noBaba. Kuqotho futhi kulula kakhulu. Ujule kakhulu, ucebe kakhulu, futhi ubanzi kangangokuthi akekho ongakuqonda ukujula kwawo.”—UMartin Luther.
“Alikho izwi elake lezwakala ezulwini noma emhlabeni, eliphakeme kakhulu, elingcwele, elithela kakhulu, eliphakeme kakhulu kunomthandazo owenziwa iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uqobo.”— Philip Melanchthon.
“Umthandazo ongavamile kakhulu, olandela inkulumo egcwele neduduzayo eyake yashiwo emhlabeni.”— Matthew Henry.
