Izizwe ezintathu nemithetho yazo
EBhayibhelini, ngokusho kuka-1 Kor. 10:32 satshelwa ukuthi kunezizwe ezintathu emhlabeni manje ngokukaNkulunkulu. Izizwe ezintathu ngamaJuda, abeZizwe, neBandla likaNkulunkulu. Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili eyedlule kwakukhona izizwe ezimbili kuphela - oweZizwe kanye namaJuda. Ngaphambi kwalezi zizwe ezimbili, kwakukhona isizwe esisodwa kuphela isizwe sabeZizwe ngaphambi kukaNkulunkulu sabiza u-Abrama (Abraham) kuGen. 12: 1-4 futhi lokho kwaholela ekuzalweni kuka-Isaka noJakobe (Israyeli-amaJuda).
AbeZizwe (umhlaba) abanaye uNkulunkulu, bangabakhulekeli bezithombe-abezizwe. AmaJuda angabantu besivumelwano esidala sikaNkulunkulu ngenkathi isonto lingabantu besivumelwano esisha sikaNkulunkulu abasindiswe ngegazi likaJesu eliyigugu. (Efe. 2: 11-22). Laba bamiselwe ngaphambili futhi babizwa ngabezizwe zabeZizwe nabamaJuda, bangena emzimbeni omusha kaKristu, izidalwa ezintsha indawo yokuhlala kaNkulunkulu, ibandla likaNkulunkulu.
Lezi zizwe ezintathu zinezimiso zazo ezihlukile, njengezizwe zomhlaba ezinemithethosisekelo ehlukile. Izimiso zabeZizwe zehlukile kwezamaJuda kanti nezamaJuda zehlukile ezimisweni zebandla. Ngasinye salezi zizwe kulindeleke ukuthi sigcine imigomo esebenza kubo. Abezizwe-ngamasiko abo, iziqalo zabo, (Kol. 2: 8). AmaJuda ngenkolo yawo yobuJuda-inkolo yamaJuda (Gal. 1: 11-14) -iqiniso elidlule iwayini elidala. Isonto kufanele futhi lihlale nokuzinikela kwalo-izwi likaNkulunkulu-iqiniso lamanje, iwayini elisha (Luka 5: 36-39), (Kol. 2: 4-10), (Thithu 1:14), (2nd UPetru 1:12). Manje ake sigxile ebandleni likaNkulunkulu. Ngathi ibandla linezimiso zalo, izwi likaNkulunkulu-iqiniso lamanje-iwayini elisha (John 17: 8), (John 17: 14-17), (2nd UPetru 1: 12).
Isonto lingamadodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi kufanele sigcine izwi likaNkulunkulu kuphela, asihlangene ngalutho nezimiso zamaJuda kanye nezeZizwe. Asiwona amaJuda noma abeZizwe, singamadodana kaNkulunkulu ibandla likaNkulunkulu. Kufanele sizigcine simsulwa njengoJesu, isibonelo sethu sazigcina simsulwa (1 Johane 3: 3). Akufanele sithinte izinto ezingcolile-imigomo yangaphandle (2nd AbaseKorinte 6: 14-18). Kufanele sigweme futhi senqabe imigomo okungeyona eyethu. Umuntu akakwazi ukuhlala eMelika futhi alalele umthethosisekelo waseNigeria. Sisezweni kepha asiwona owomhlaba. Kungani IBANDLA elingewona amaJuda noma abeZizwe kufanele lilalele futhi ligcine imigomo yalo? Lokhu bekungafanele kube njalo. Yingakho kunzima ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ungubani, ngenxa yemigomo exubile. Uma singamalungu ebandla, umzimba kaKristu kufanele futhi sigcine ezimisweni zebandla kuphela. Kufanele sibe ngamaKrestu ngaphandle nangaphandle futhi singazenzisi njengo-Kristu ngaphakathi, abeZizwe kanye namaJuda ngaphandle; ngenxa yezimiso zabo esizigcinayo.
Noma imuphi umKristu ofuna ukuhumusha kumele anqobe lezi zimiso zakwamanye amazwe nokungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu futhi agcine izwi likaKrestu eliyi-100% enhliziyweni yakhe (1 Johane 3: 3), (2nd Kor. 6: 14-18), (Johane 14:30). INkosi yayala ubungcwele (1st Petru 1: 14-16), (Thithu. 2:12). Akufanele sizimise ngokwenkanuko yabeZizwe kanye namaJuda ngokungazi kwethu, kepha njengeNkosi esibizile ingcwele, nathi kufanele siphile ngcwele, ngoMoya oNgcwele. Bazalwane asibhekeni futhi sithandaze. Noma yimuphi umgomo, izinga lokuphila ngaphandle kokusekelwa okungokomBhalo eTestamenteni Elisha akulona elingcwele labangcwele beTestamente Elisha.
Kukhona umehluko phakathi kokuthanda izwe (abezizwe), ubuJuda nobuKristu. UJohn 1: 17 uthi, ngoba umthetho (ubuJuda) wanikezwa nguMose, kepha umusa neqiniso (ubuKrestu) kweza ngoJesu Kristu. Ngeshwa, isonto selibe ngelomhlaba kanye nelamaJuda ngokufaka izimiso zamaJuda kanye nabeZizwe. Le migomo yangaphandle kufanele ihlanzwe, iyimvubelo ebilisa inhlama yonke. Esethu ubuKrestu-izwi likaKristu hhayi ubuJuda noma ubuzwe. Umakoti uthatha kuphela izwi likaKristu umyeni wakhe. Uma sizoba ngumakoti othembekile, kufanele sigcine izwi lomyeni wethu uKristu umkhwenyana yedwa. Ubungane nezwe bungubutha noNkulunkulu, (Jakobe 4: 4). Sengathi iNkosi ingasisiza ukuthi sihlale sithembekile kuKristu ngokuzigcina simsulwa futhi singcwele, silinde ngesineke uJesu, ozayo maduze ukuzosiyisa esigodlweni sakhe. Amen.
