Thola i AppUkulungiselela Izinhliziyo Zethu NgePhasika: Ukuzinikela ngesikhathi sokuzilaIsampula
"Usuku 3: Ubumnyama"
Ugenesise 15 wethula esinye seziqephu ezinkulu kakhulu uma kungezona neze ezikhulu empilweni ka-Abrahama.
Kumuntu ongumhambuma, isithembiso sokuthi umhlaba uzodliwa ubengaduduza futhi kube nzima ukukholwa, ngakho-ke kungokwemvelo ukuthi u-Abrahama aphendule esithembisweni sikaNkulunkulu (v. 7: “NginguJehova owakukhipha I-Uri lamaKaledi ukukunika lomhlaba ukuba uwudle wena ”) ngesicelo sokuqinisekiswa (v. 8:“ Ngingazi kanjani ukuthi ngizolidla? ”). Okumangazayo akusona isicelo, kepha yisibonakaliso uNkulunkulu asinikezayo.
Izilwane zilethwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, zihlukaniswe kabili, bese zihlotshaniswa phambi kwakhe. Umbhali ukubeka kucace ukuthi njengoba ilanga liyoshona, u-Abrama akagcini nje ngokulala, kodwa uthola “ubumnyama obesabekayo nobukhulu.” Ebumnyameni obukhulu, ibhodwe lomlilo elithunqayo kanye nethoshi elivuthayo kudlula phakathi kwalezi zingcezu nesiqephu kugcina ngokuthi, “Ngalolo suku iNkosi yenza isivumelwano no-Abrama” (v. 18).
Kwenzekani? Empumalanga Eseduze Yasendulo, lapho amaqembu engena esivumelwaneni kwakuvame ukulingiswa ngomhlatshelo noma ngokunye ukujeziswa kwesijeziso esasiwela eqenjini elingazange liqhubeke nomphumela wentengo. Lokhu kukhombe ukuthi zombili izinhlangothi bezizimisele ukuhlonipha leli lungiselelo ngokubeka impilo yabo engcupheni - isiphetho sabo sizofana nesezilwane. Ebumnyameni u-Abrahama ufakaza ngoNkulunkulu (omelwe njengembiza yomlilo nesibani) edlula kulezo zingcezu, kepha yena uqobo akadingeki!
Ababhali bevangeli bayabona ukuthi ngenkathi uJesu efa, ubumnyama bawela phezu komhlaba, futhi kulowo mzuzu, sibona ukuzidela okwenziwa nguNkulunkulu ukuze ahloniphe izithembiso zakhe kithina. Kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi waya ethuneni ukuze asinike isibhakabhaka, wehlukaniswa nokusinika ikhaya, futhi wezwa ubumnyama obukhulu ukusiletha ekukhanyeni. Eqinisweni, lo mbono yiwo owaduduza ukwesaba kuka-Abrahama kuGenesise 15: 1 ("Ungesabi, Abrama, ngiyisihlangu sakho."). Ingabe lokhu kuyinduduzo yakho futhi?
Umkhuleko
Baba, ngikhumbuze ukuthi ngoba uJesu wezwa ubumnyama, ungikhombisile ukukhanya kwakho; ngoba wahlangabezana nokuhlukaniswa, ungithembisile ikhaya; ngoba wezwa ithuna, unginikile isibhakabhaka. Ungisize ukuba ngingesabi, ngoba uyisihlangu sami nomvuzo omkhulu kakhulu. Egameni likaKristu, Amen.
