UJesu waseNazaretha wazalelwaphi, abanye bathi kuseBetlehema, abanye baseNazaretha, kodwa iBhayibheli liyasembula ngokucacile indawo nendawo eqondile yokuzalwa kwendodana kaNkulunkulu noMsindisi wethu. Konke ngokwalokho okwaprofethwa uNkulunkulu ukuze kugcwaliseke izwi lakhe.
Wazalelwaphi uJesu waseNazaretha?
Kulelithuba, kuzohlaziywa indaba yokuthi uJesu waseNazaretha wazalelwaphi, futhi uma ufuna ukwazi iqiniso, into engcono kakhulu ukulenza ngokukhanya kwemibhalo. Ngoba iBhayibheli lisidweba umugqa oqondile emlandweni weqiniso wezenzakalo phakathi nesikhathi, owawunesiqalo futhi oyoba nesiphetho.
Le ndaba kusukela ekuqaleni ilandele icebo likaNkulunkulu eliphelele futhi iphokophele ekupheleni lapho ungabona khona ukunqoba kothando nobuhle bukaNkulunkulu phezu kobubi. Lapho bonke abathembekile emlandweni wonke balalela, bakholwa, bazinikela futhi balandela uJesu, bayothola umvuzo wabo waphezulu.
Ngakho uma usekukhanyeni kwemibhalo engcwele, awubheki incwadi yezindaba noma izindaba zabantu. Kunalokho, incazelo yangempela yokuthi izehlakalo noma izehlakalo zenzeka kanjani ngaphakathi kohlaka lomlando wesintu.
Ngalo mqondo, iBhayibheli likuchaza ngokwethembeka ukuzalwa kukaJesu esahlukweni 2 seVangeli likaLuka. Futhi ayigcini nje ngokucacisa umbuzo othi, uJesu waseNazaretha wazalelwaphi?, kodwa futhi isho indawo futhi inikeze izimpawu ngokuqondene nenyanga okungenzeka ukuthi azalwa ngayo ephikisana namasiko obuqaba.
IBhayibheli liyasho lapho uJesu waseNazaretha azalelwa khona
IBhayibheli lithi lapho uJesu waseNazaretha wazalelwa khona kuLuka 2: 1-14 futhi ngaphezu kwalokhu linikeza uhlaka lomlando mayelana nalesi senzakalo esibalulekile. Umvangeli uthi ngaleso sikhathi umbusi waseRoma, u-Augustus Caesar, wakhipha isimemezelo sokuba kubalwe.
UNkulunkulu wabe esehlela ukuba iNdodana yakhe izalwe ngesikhathi sokubhaliswa noma sokubalwa kwabantu. Ukubalwa kwabantu koMbuso WaseRoma kwakwenziwa njalo eminyakeni eyishumi nane. Kodwa ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaqondana nokubalwa kwabantu kokuqala, lapho uKhureniyu esebusa eSiriya.
Abantu abasebalazweni lasePalestine ngezikhathi zikaJesu baqala ukubalwa nguMbuso WamaRoma, ngoba lokhu wonke umuntu kwakufanele aye edolobheni lakubo. Kusukela kulokho esikubona evesini 4, lesi siqephu seVangeli likaLuka, ukuthi uJosefa uhamba nomkakhe uMariya emzini wabo ukuze bayobhaliswa:
Luka 2:4-5 (NIV):4 Futhi UJosefa, owayengowozalo lweNkosi uDavideWenyuka esuka eNazaretha, umuzi waseGalile, waya eJudiya. Waya eBhetlehema, eMzini KaDavide, 5 ukubhalisa kanye noMaria umkakhe. Her wayekhulelwe.
Lombhalo weBhayibheli uholela ekugcwalisekeni kwesiprofetho sikaNkulunkulu emlonyeni kaJakobe. Lapho uJakobe, ngaphambi kokuba afe, enikeza isibusiso ngasinye sezizwe noma indlu kaIsrayeli okwakungamadodana akhe ayishumi nambili.
(Genesise 49:10) Intonga yobukhosi ngeke ithathwe kuwe, Juda; Noma uphawu lwamandla phakathi kwezinyawo zenu, luze lufike Shilo futhi emzungezile abantu bayabuthana.
Sikumema lapha ukuthi ubuze ngokubaluleka kwe Imephu yasePalestine ngesikhathi sikaJesu, ekuqondeni isigijimi esiyigugu nobukhulu beNkosi.
uJesu, uShilo, uMesiya, othunyiweyo
Igama elithi Shilo elitholakala kuleli vesi likaGenesise igama lesiHebheru elithi Shîlôh, elisho ukuthula, ukuphumula futhi lingelinye lamagama atholakala eBhayibhelini abonisa uJesu, umesiya, othunywe uNkulunkulu.
Ngaleso sikhathi nalapho uJesu waseNazaretha azalelwa khona, amadolobha abuthana, intonga yobukhosi yakwaJuda yayisusiwe. Manje amadolobhana ayesengaphansi kombuso wamaRoma kunoMbusi uAwugustu Khesari ebusa eRoma, futhi uKhureniyu engumbusi waseSiriya.
IJudiya ngaleso sikhathi enhlanganweni yezombangazwe kahulumeni, kwakuyisifundazwe saseSiriya. Futhi wayenenkosi njengendodana kaHerode omkhulu, obizwa nangokuthi uHerode, owayengumEdomi wozalo luka-Esawu, umfowabo kaJakobe.
Lokhu kusikhumbuza lokho okulotshwe kuMalaki 1:2-3, lapho uNkulunkulu elahla u-Esawu, ambiza ngokuthi u-Edomi futhi akamkhethanga njengoyise wabantu bakhe abakhethiweyo. Kodwa ukhetha uJakobe ayemthanda futhi wambiza ngokuthi u-Israyeli.
Ngakho-ke izwe lesithembiso, lapho uJesu waseNazaretha azalelwa khona, lalingekho ezandleni zombusi wakwa-Israyeli. Isimo esingokomlando sibonisa leli zwe elaliphethwe uhulumeni wamaqaba futhi abapristi babengasezona izikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa babeyizinceku ezilondolozwe ababusi abakhonza izithombe.
Kodwa uShilo, uMesiya, uJesu waseNazaretha wayesezozalwa futhi kuLuka 2:1-14 , kungabonakala ukuthi isenzakalo esinjalo sasizungezwe izenzakalo ezimbalwa eziphawulekayo nezingavamile okufanele zihlaziywe.
Ukubhaliswa lapho uJesu ezalwa
Evesini lesine lesiqephu seVangeli likaLuka esifundwe ngenhla, kungabonakala ukuthi uJosefa nomkakhe uMariya babehlala eNazaretha. Ukusuka lapho kwadingeka bathathe uhambo lwamakhilomitha angaba ngu-120 beya emzini waseBhetlehema esifundeni saseJudiya, ukuze bayobhalisa ngokokuqala ngqá ukubalwa kwabantu okwayalelwa yiRoma.
Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenzisa ukubala ukuze athuthele uJosefa noMariya emzini waseBhetlehema, okokuqala ukuze alethe uShilo, uMesiya, emhlabeni.
Mika 5:2 (KJV 1960): Kodwa wena, Belen Efrata, mncane ukuba phakathi kwemindeni yakwaJuda, kuwe kuzakuza kimi ozakuba yiNkosi kaIsrayeli; kanye nemiphumela yayo kusukela ekuqaleni, kusukela ezinsukwini zaphakade.
Emakhulwini ayisithupha nengxenye ngaphambi kwalesi senzakalo, umprofethi uMika wayeselembulile kakade ngokuningiliziwe igama lomuzi lapho uJesu waseNazaretha, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ayeyozalelwa khona nokuthi wayeyovela kumuphi umndeni wakwaJuda. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungabonakala kulesi siprofetho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakwenza kwamiswa ngohlelo lwakhe oluphelele kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba.
Ukubhaliswa kwenzeka ngesikhathi nangendlela eqondile, uNkulunkulu angabonakala esebenza ngemva kwezehlakalo zomlando. UJosefa noMariya babehlala eNazaretha laseGalile futhi indlela uNkulunkulu asebenzisa ngayo ukuba iNdodana yakhe izalwe lapho kwakuprofethiwe khona yayiwukubalwa kwabantu.
Ngokubalwa kwabantu bonke kwadingeka babuyele lapho bezalelwa khona ukuze bayobhalisa futhi bakhokhe intela. Ngaleyondlela uNkulunkulu wawulawula ngokuyisimangaliso umlando ukuze izwi lakhe ligcwaliseke.
Isaya 14:24 (KJV 1960) UJehova lamabutho wafunga besithi: Impela kuzokwenziwa ngendlela ebengicabanga ngayo, futhi kuyoba kuqinisekisiwe njengoba nginqumile.
eBhetlehema, lapho kwazalelwa khona uJesu waseNazaretha
Konke okuprofethiwe ezwini elilotshiwe, uNkulunkulu uthi kufanele kugcwaliseke futhi ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaJesu isenzakalo emlandweni siqala ukwenzeka. Ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu izalwe endaweni ncamashí, ngesikhathi nangehora uNkulunkulu ayemise ukuba izalwe ngalo.
Ibhayibheli lithi uJosefa noMariya benyuka besuka eGalile baya eJudiya emzini kaDavide othiwa iBetlehema, igama lalo muzi livela ezimpandeni ezimbili zesiHeberu elithi bet nelehem okusho ukuthi indlu yesinkwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iNazaretha, igama layo lisuka kwelesiHeberu elithi Natzrat, elichaza isiqu noma ihlumela, noma lisuka kumsuka wesiHeberu elithi natser elinencazelo efanayo yehlumela noma igatsha.
Ngakho ngokwesiprofetho ngesikhathi sokuzalwa kukaJesu, abaningi babeqaphela ukuthi uMesiya wayeyozalelwa eBhetlehema. Abapristi abakhulu nababhali babantu basabela lapho ebizwe iNkosi uHerode:
Mathewu 2:5-6 (KJV 1960): 5 Bathi kuye: EBetlehema laseJudiya; ngokuba kulotshiwe kanje ngomprofethi ukuthi: 6 “Nawe, Betlehema, ezweni lakwaJuda, awusiye omncinyane phakathi kwezikhulu zakwaJuda; Ngokuba kuyakuvela kuwe umholi oyakwalusa abantu bami u-Israyeli.
UJohane uthi evangelini lakhe, ngezikhathi zikaJesu, kwaba khona ukwahlukana phakathi kwabantu ngoKristu, kepha uma bazi kahle ukuthi uvelaphi:
NgokukaJohane 7:40-42 1960 Khona-ke abanye esixukwini bezwa lawa mazwi, bathi: “Nempela lo ungumprofethi. 40 Abanye bathi: Lo unguKristu. Kodwa abanye bathi: Kambe uKristu uzavela eGalili? 41 UmBhalo awusho yini ukuthi kuvela ohlwini lozalo lukaDavide, na? emzini waseBhetlehema, lapho uDavida ayevela khona, uKristu uzafika?
UJesu waseNazaretha wazalelwa emkhombeni
Lapho izinsuku zokuzalwa kukaMariya zifika, yena noJosefa baseBetlehema, uLucas uthi abayitholanga indawo yokuhlala. Isizathu kwakungenxa yobuningi babantu ababebuyele eBetlehema ukuyobhalisa.
NgokukaLuka 2:6-7 (NIV):6 kwathi beselapho. isikhathi sase siphelile. 7 ngakho wazala indodana yakhe izibulo. wasigoqa izimbotshana amlalise emkhombeni, ngani yayingekho indawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
UNkulunkulu wayeqondisa izehlakalo zomlando, eqondisa izimpilo zabo kanye nempilo yalabo abaholwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Ngakho uJesu uzalelwa endaweni emangalisayo, emkhombeni futhi akazungezwe induduzo njengoba bekuyokholelwa iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Umkhombe yigama lesiGreki elihunyushwa ngokuthi isitebele, ngakho uJesu, owanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ngenxa yawo wonke umuntu, wayezalelwa esitebeleni sezilwane. Akekho owanika uMsindisi womhlaba indawo yokuhlala, ukuze azalelwe endaweni enephunga elibi nengcolile yendle yezilwane; noma kungahunyushwa ngokuthi omsulwa wazalelwa ezweni elinobugovu, elonakele nelinesono.
Kwakukhona abelusi lapho kwazalelwa khona uJesu waseNazaretha
Emavesini alandelayo, ikakhulukazi kusukela ku-8 kuya ku-11, uLuka uveza ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi kwakunabelusi ababeqapha imilindelo ukuze banakekele imihlambi yabo. Futhi ilandisa ukuthi ingelosi kaNkulunkulu ibonakala kulaba belusi futhi bezwa ukwesaba.
Luka 2:8-11 (KJV 1960): 8 Kwakukhona abelusi esifundeni esifanayo, ebhekile egada imilindo yasebusuku phezu komhlambi wakhe. 9 Bheka, babekhona yethula ingelosi yeNkosi, inkazimulo yeNkosi yabakhanyisa nxazonke; futhi besaba kakhulu. 10 Kepha ingelosi yathi kubo: "Ningesabi; ngokuba bhekani, nginibikela izindaba zokuthokoza okukhulu okuyakuba ngeyabantu bonke; iyazalwa namuhla, emzini kaDavide, uMsindisi onguKristu iNkosi.
Umsebenzi wokwelusa ngalezo zikhathi wawuthathwa njengento ephansi kakhulu kubaFarisi, ababhali nabapristi. Kodwa ingelosi kaNkulunkulu ayibonakali kunoma yimuphi kubo, kodwa ikhetha ukunikeza isixwayiso kubelusi abathobekile ababeqapha imihlambi yabo.
Lesi sigameko sibaluleke kakhulu ngoba kudala kucatshangwa ukuthi uJesu wazalwa nini, osomlando, izazi zemfundiso yenkolo nezifundiswa ziye zahlaziya, zaphenya futhi zaphenya ngalesi sihloko. Kodwa esahlukweni 23 sikaLevitikusi kukhulunywa ngemikhosi enesizotha lapho kwakwenziwa khona umhlangano ongcwele.
Uma sihlaziya la maqembu kanye nezenzakalo eziphathelene nokuzalwa kukaJesu, kungase kuthiwe uJesu Kristu wazalwa phakathi kuka-September no-October, ngenxa yokuba khona kwabelusi kuleyo ndawo.
Isikhathi esiqondile lapho uJesu waseNazaretha azalelwa khona
Lenkathi ephakathi kukaSeptember noOctober iqondana nenyanga kaTishrei wekhalenda lamaJuda, kuyo kuzalwa uJesu, cishe ekugujweni komkhosi wamadokodo. Isiqephu sezingelosi nabelusi esahlukweni 2 sikaLuka sinikeza izimpawu zokuthi uJesu unesikhathi esiqondile sokuzalwa.
Ngenxa yokuthi uJesu Kristu naye waligcwalisa iPhasika, waligcwalisa iPhentekoste, wagcwalisa isinkwa esingenamvubelo, kodwa manje umkhosi wamacilongo awukho. Ngokuphathelene nalokhu, iBhayibheli lithi:
1 Korinte 15:52 (RVR 1960): Ngokuphazima kweso, ngokuphazima kweso, ngecilongo lokugcina; ngoba lizabethwa icilongofuthi abafileyo bayovuswa bengonakubola. futhi sizoguqulwa.
Lokhu kukhomba ukuthi icilongo liyoshaywa, abafele kuKristu bayovuka kuqala bese kuba uMkhosi wamadokodo futhi kuyoba nokubuyisana kwesizwe sakwa-Israyeli.
Eminye imicimbi okufanele uyigqamise
Endimeni ehlaziywayo ngokuzalwa kukaJesu kuLuka 2: 1-14, ezinye izehlakalo ezibalulekile noma izimpawu zikaNkulunkulu kulesi senzakalo zingakhishwa, njengokuthi:
Besongwe ngezingubo, lokhu kuyoba isibonakaliso kubo, izingelosi zithi kubelusi, ivesi 12: igama elithi ukusonga ngesiHebheru sokuqala lisho ilineni, ngakho-ke, lesi sibonakaliso sibonisa ukuthi uJesu wazalwa embethe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu. Kusukela ekuzalweni kwayo, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ibonisa izwe ukuthi yazalwa ingenasono, izalwa inobulungisa baphezulu.
Ivesi 13 lithi izulu liyavuleka bese kuvela ibutho lezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu. Ngaleso sikhathi, kuleyo ndawo lapho uJesu waseNazaretha azalelwa khona, isixuku esivela emhlabeni kamoya siyabuthana ukuze siphelezele ukuzalwa kwalo mntwana, ngoba kwakuyinzalo eNgcwele eyayizelwe.
Ivesi 14 iqembu lezingelosi lidumisa iNdodana kaNkulunkulu futhi limemezela izinto ezintathu ezibalulekile: Ukuthi iNdodana izokhazimulisa uYise ophakeme, okwesibili ukuthi iNdodana izohlanganisa izinto ezimbili ezihlukene, uKristu usihlanganisa noYise ngoba abukho ubutha. akukho ukuntula intethelelo. Okwesithathu, bamemezela intando enhle, okungukuthi angeke kube khona ukuthula ezinhliziyweni zethu kuze kube yilapho senza ukuthula noNkulunkulu.
Impilo, umsebenzi, ukufa nokuvuka kukaJesu waseNazaretha
Ngemva kokuzalwa kwakhe, impilo kaJesu ichazwa eTestamenteni Elisha yeBhayibheli endabeni ebanzi phakathi kwamavangeli amane. Lawa mavangeli amane awumthombo oyinhloko wolwazi ngempilo kaJesu futhi ayisisekelo somlayezo wensindiso, umusa kanye nokholo lobuKristu.
Amavangeli aqukethe ukulandisa kwezenzakalo zomlando wempilo yomphakathi kaJesu waseNazaretha ephelezelwa abafundi bakhe; Empilweni yakhe yasobala, uJesu wazinikela ekufikeni nasekuhambeni ayoshumayela ivangeli kusukela eGalile kuya eJudiya, kuyilapho enza izimanga nezimangaliso eziningi. Ukulandelana kwezenzakalo ngokulandelana kwezenzakalo kuyahlukahluka kuye ngokulandisa okuhlukahlukene kwabavangeli.
Isisekelo esiyinhloko sesigijimi sikaJesu siwuthando ngoNkulunkulu nangomakhelwane, ngaphezu kokubonisa ubuhlobo bakhe obuseduze nobuseduze noNkulunkulu, ambiza ngokuthi u-Aba Baba. Izimangaliso nezimangaliso ezenziwa nguJesu zaziningi, ezinye zazo zingafundwa kulezi zicaphuno zebhayibheli ezilandelayo ezivela emavangelini:
- Marku: 1:29 - 31, 3:1 - 6, 7:31 - 37, 8:22 - 26
- Mathewu: 8:1 - 4, 9:18 - 26, 14:22 - 33, 20:29 - 34
- Luka 5:17-26, 8:40-56, 13:10-17, 14:1-6, 17:11-19, 22:51
- Johane: 4:43 – 54, 5:1 – 9, 9:1-12, 11:1 – 44.
ukufa nokuvuka
Ngobusuku bePhasika uJesu wadla eJerusalema nabafundi bakhe futhi ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa uyaboshwa. Khona-ke uJesu uquliswa icala phambi kweSanhedrini nofakazi bamanga, ababufakazi babo abuzange bamukelwe. Khona-ke ulethwa phambi kukaPontiyu Pilatu, umbusi ongumRoma, futhi ugwetshwa ukufa esiphambanweni ngokwesicelo sesixuku, ethonywe abapristi.
Ukuze ufunde okwengeziwe ngokufa nokuvuka kukaJesu sikumema ukuba ungene lapha Ukufa okubuhlungu nokuvuka kukaJesu. Kanye naku- Ukuvuka kukaJesu ngokweBhayibheli nemininingwane yalo.
