Ukukholwa kuletha isibusiso

Izakhamuzi zaseBethlehem-Juda, u-Elimeleki, umkakhe uNawomi namadodana abo amabili uMahaloni noKiliyoni ukuthuthela kwaMowabi ngenxa yendlala, (Ruthe 1: 2-3). Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi umyeni kaNawomi washonela ezweni angalazi. Amadodana kaNawomi amabili azithathela abafazi kwabesifazane bakwaMowabi. Emva kweminyaka eyishumi kwafa amadodana amabili kaNawomi. UNawomi wasala yedwa nomalokazana bamadodakazi akhe. Kwakungekho angakwenza ngaphandle kokubuyela kwaJuda ngoba kwaMowabi wayengenazihlobo futhi wayesekhulile manje. Okubaluleke kakhulu, wayenokuthi uJehova wayevakashele abantu bakhe u-Israyeli ngokubanika isinkwa emva kwendlala.

Ngokwevesi 8, uNawomi ukhuthaze abasekhweni lomalokazana wakhe ukuthi babuyele ezindlini zonina, ngoba abayeni babo bese befile. Uphinde wakuqinisekisa ukuthi babemenzela okuhle kanjani yena nezingane zakhe. Kepha bathi evesini le-10, "impela sizobuyela nawe kubantu bakho," kepha uNawomi wabanqanda ukuba bangayi naye kwaJuda. U-Orpa omunye womalokazana wendodakazi wamanga uNawomi wabuyela kubantu bakubo. Kuvesi 15 uNawomi wathi kuRuthe, "bheka, umalokazana wakho ubuyele kubantu bakubo, nakonkulunkulu bakhe; buyela emuva, ulandele umalokazana wakho." Manje ngokuqinisekile isandla sesiphetho sasisebenza, u-Orpa wayebuyele konkulunkulu bakhe, kwaMowabi. Khumbula ukuthi uMowabi ungomunye wamadodana kaLoti ngendodakazi yakhe ngemuva kokubhujiswa kweSodoma neGomora, uGenesise 19: 30-38.
Kepha uRuth wanquma ukusebenzisa ukholo lwakhe ngokuhlala noNaomi nesiphetho sakhe siguqulwe yileso senzo. KuRuthe 1: 16-17, uRuthe wakhuluma ngokukholwa kwakhe futhi waguqula ikusasa lakhe; ngakho-ke noma ngubani wethu, angaba sesimweni esinjalo. URuthe wamemezela ngesibindi nangokukholwa, “ngoba lapho uya khona, ngizoya khona nami; lapho uhlala khona ngiyakuhlala khona; abantu bakho bayakuba ngabantu bami, uNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami; lapho ufela khona, ngiyakufela khona, ngingcwatshwe khona; uJehova makenze njalo kimi, enezele futhi, uma kukhona ukufa mina nawe. ” Lawa bekungewona amagama ajwayelekile kepha umuntu okhuluma ukukholwa kwakhe egameni leNkosi. Wayihlanganisa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu wakho uzoba nguNkulunkulu wami nabantu bakho babe ngabantu bami. Yile ndlela isifungo somshado okufanele sizwakale ngayo; futhi ungasho ukuthi uRuthe wayeshade no-Israyeli noNawomi futhi. Ukhombise ukuzibophezela kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli nakubantu bakhe, ikusasa.
Ngakho uNawomi noRuthe babuyela kwaJuda. UNaomi wathi kubantu bakubo; “Ungabe usangibiza ngokuthi uNawomi kepha yiMara ngoba uSomandla ungiphathe kabi kakhulu. Ngiphume ngigcwele, iNkosi ingibuyise ngize, -Ngokuba iNkosi ingifakazile, uSomandla ungihlukumezile. ” UNawomi wayenezihlobo ezicebile zomyeni wakhe, indoda uBowazi, enamapulazi amakhulu. UNawomi watshela uRuthe ngakho, futhi uRuthe waphakamisa ukuthi angaya yini ukukhothoza (ukucosha ama-over over, ngemuva kokuba abavuni sebedlulile) epulazini lakhe. KuRuthe 2: 2, uRuthe wakhuluma elinye igama lokholo, "futhi wakhothoza izikhwebu emva kwalowo engizothola umusa emehlweni akhe." Ukholo lolu; khumbula Heb. 11: 1 Manje ukholo luyisiqiniseko sezinto ezithenjwayo, ubufakazi bezinto ezingabonwayo. URuthe wayekhuluma ngokukholwa futhi uNkulunkulu wamhlonipha, ngoba uNkulunkulu manje wayembona njengowakhe, okholwa kuNkulunkulu wakwa-Israyeli hhayi owakwaMowabi ononkulunkulu abahlukile. UNawomi wathi kuye, hamba ndodakazi yami. Babedinga ukudla abazokudla, babuyela kwaJuda bengenalutho futhi bempofu, kusele ukuzethemba nethemba kuphela kuNkulunkulu: kepha uRuthe wayefana nekholwa elisha kuJesu Kristu enokholo olusha ayelumemezela njalo.
URuthe wakhothoza eceleni kwezinceku zikaBhowazi, wasebenzisa ukholo lwakhe. UJames 2:20, "ukukholwa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi kufile." URuth wayekholelwa ukuthi uzothola umusa emehlweni kaBhowazi ngesikhathi ememezela kuNawomi. Uma ukholwa into ethile ke yisho. Amadoda kaBhowazi ayemthanda futhi emhlonipha, abavuni lapho bembona bathi, “uJehova abe nawe; wathi: INkosi ikubusise. Wayewathanda amadoda akhe futhi nawo ayemthanda; izinhlangothi zombili ziyayikhumbula iNkosi.

UBhowazi wayibona intombazana futhi wabuza ngayo futhi inceku eyayiphethe amadoda akhe yamtshela ukuthi kwakunguRuthe kaNawomi. Wenza isicelo encekwini enkulu ukuba akhothoze eceleni kwabo, futhi wayehlale nabo, esebenza kanzima futhi engaphumuli kangako. Lobu bufakazi bamjabulisa uBowazi futhi wathi kuye, (Ruthe2: 8-9) “ungayi ukukhothoza kwenye insimu, futhi ungasuki lapha, kodwa hlala lapha—-, amehlo akho mawabe sensimini abayivunayo—, Ngibayalile ukuthi bangakuthinti, futhi uma womile, - uphuze lokho okudonse izinsizwa. ” Lokhu kwakungumusa kaNkulunkulu kuye nakuNawomi.

Isondo lokholo nokudalelwa, seliqalile ukugingqika, ukholo lwase luqala ukwambula ikusasa kanti noRuth wayezoba yingxenye yalokhu. Isibusiso sokuqala kwaba ukuthi uRuthe wathola umusa emehlweni enceku kaBhowazi yamvumela ukuba akhothoze, manje uBhowazi wakhuphula isibusiso ngokuvumela uRuthe ukuba akhothoze ngokugunyaza eceleni kwamadoda akhe, futhi wamyala ukuba angakhothozi kwenye indawo. Wambusisa ngokuqhubeka wathi uma womile phuza amanzi akhethwe izisebenzi. UBowazi wathi: `` Ngizwile ngakho konke ukulunga kwakho.unhloboni yobufakazi?) kuNawomi selokhu kwashona indodana yakhe, umyeni kaRuthe. Ubashiye kanjani abantu bakhe, ubaba, umama nezwe lomdabu, waya ezweni nabantu angabazi. UBowazi wabuye wambusisa wathi: “UJehova makabuyekeze umsebenzi wakho, unikwe umvuzo ophelele nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli othembele kuye phansi kwamaphiko akhe.” Umkhuleko onje, isibusiso esinjani kuRuthe. UNkulunkulu wayenecebo lalowo ohamba ekukholweni, othandweni naseqinisweni.

KuRuthe 2:14, uBowazi waphinde wambusisa uRuthe; bethi “ngesikhathi sokudla woza lapha, udle isinkwa, ucwilise ucezu lwakho kuviniga — wayesemnika okusanhlamvu okugazingiwe, wadla, wasutha, wasala.” Ukholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli manje lwase luqala ukuthululela umusa nezibusiso zakhe. Lona kwakungowesifazane owayefuna ukukhothoza ukuze ondle uNawomi kanye naye esikhathini esifushane esedlule; manje besidla nabavuni, noBowazi. Ukholo lunemivuzo yalo, uma ubheka eNkosini futhi ulindele. URuthe wayeyisihambi kwa-Israyeli, kodwa manje esephila ngokukholwa; kuNkulunkulu wakhe omusha, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Wathululelwa esinye isibusiso, uBowazi wathi evesini 15, makakhothoze ngisho phakathi kwezithungu futhi angamthuki. UNkulunkulu muhle njalo.

Ukholo lukaRuth lwaluvule umgqomo wesibusiso sikaNkulunkulu wavula futhi akukho okwakungaluvimba manje. Ngokuhola kukaNkulunkulu uBhowazi wakhuphula isibusiso kuRuthe, lapho kuRuthe 2:16 uBhowazi athi encekwini yakhe, “futhi ake sishiyele ezinye zezandla kuye, sizishiye, ukuze azikhothoze, futhi ungamkhuzi. ” Ekupheleni kosuku wayekhothoze i-efa (amabhali ayi-1.1) ebhali. Wathatha umkhothozo omkhulu waya nawo ekhaya futhi wabekela noNawomi ukudla ngemuva kokuba esenele ensimini. Lesi kwakuyisibusiso sikaNkulunkulu esiqala ukuthola uRuthe. Ukholo lunomvuzo wakhe. Uma wethemba iNkosi njengoRuth uNkulunkulu uzokuvulela iminyango yesibusiso ngesinyathelo ngesinyathelo.
UBhowazi wayezokwela ibhali lakhe kanti uNawomi wayezibuza ngoRuthe nekusasa lentombi. Wabe esetshela uRuthe ukuthi uBowazi wayeyisihlobo esasinganquma ukumshada. KuRuthe 3 uNawomi watshela uRuthe ukuthi kumele aziphathe kanjani kusihlwa emva kwesikhathi sokwela nesikhathi sedina; phandle endaweni yokubhula. URuthe walandela yonke imiyalo kaNawomi, nakuRuthe 3: 10-14, uBowazi wathi, "Ngizokwenza indima yesihlobo kuwe, kuphila kukaJehova." Evesini 16 isibusiso seNkosi kuRuthe sakhula futhi sakhuliswa; UBhowazi uqobo hhayi izinceku zakhe walinganisa ibhali laya kuRuthe, izilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali elihlutshiwe elingahluziwe, hhayi umkhothozo, engatheleli phansi ngenhloso kodwa emgqonyeni wangempela wokuvuna. Lokhu kwakunguNkulunkulu ehlonipha ukholo lukaRuth futhi ekhuphula ngokuqinile izinga lakhe nekhwalithi yezibusiso. Thembela eNkosini ungakhathali, lindela iNkosi ungangabazi. Uma umMowabi engaba nokholo futhi abusiswe uNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke ungathola isibusiso esifanayo?

UBhowazi kuRuthe 4 waya esangweni lomuzi wahlangana nesihlobo esasiphambi kwakhe, ehambisana nabadala abayishumi. Njengendlela yesikhathi nabantu, uBowazi wabazisa ngoNaomi, indawo eyayizokhululwa futhi isihlobo sasizimisele ukukwenza. Kepha lapho ebuye etshelwa futhi ngokuhlenga uRuthe, (Ruthe 4: 5 kufanele uyithenge nakuRuthe wakwaMowabi, unkosikazi wabafileyo, ukuvusa igama lomufi efeni lakhe) wenqaba. UBhowazi manje wayesekhululekile ukuhlenga konke okukaNawomi kufaka uRuthe. Ngakho ekupheleni kosuku uBowazi washada noRuth. Lesi bekuyisibusiso esihle kakhulu sikaNkulunkulu. URuthe wayengasakhothozi, engabe esacosha emhlabathini izinto ezashiywa ngenhloso, engasadli futhi ephuza nabavuni, engasekho ethwala ikhanda lakhe ngebhali elilinganisiwe. Manje wayesendlini yesibusiso, futhi ebusisa nabanye. UNawomi waphumula. Ukugcwala kwesibusiso kwaba ukuzalwa kuka-Obede. Ukukholwa kukaRuth kwaletha isibusiso esibizwa ngo-Obede
U-Obede wazala uJese; yena wazala inkosi uDavide. UJesu waphuma emgqeni ka-Obed kaBowazi noRuthe, yeka ukukholwa, isibusiso esingakanani; ukuphela kukaNkulunkulu kuphela okungaletha lokhu. INkosi ibusisa konke ukukholwa kwethu futhi sizovuna uma singapheli amandla. UNaomi uthole isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu, uma uhlala endaweni yokholo ngeke ushiywe ngaphandle kwesibusiso uma ukholwa. UBhowazi wayeyindoda kaNkulunkulu ehloniphekile ebathanda abasebenzi bakhe futhi bemthanda futhi bemlalela. Wavumela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asebenze ngaye ukuze abe ngumthombo wesibusiso kwabanye. Wayeyindoda eqotho, engamsebenzisanga uRuthe, ongcwele kuye. Wayesetshenziswa nguNkulunkulu ukufundisa uRuthe nawo wonke amakholwa eqiniso ukuthi uNkulunkulu abusisa kanjani ngezigaba nangokuqhubeka. Izibusiso zakho zingeza kancane kepha ngokuqhubekayo uma uhlala ekukholweni.

URuthe owayengumfokazi kwa-Israyeli, waphenduka futhi wakholwa kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli nakubantu bakhe futhi walithanda izwe labo. URuthe wathembela kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli futhi walandela ukuholwa nguNawomi. UNawomi wayeyisibonelo salokho othisha, abesifazane abakholwayo abadala namakholwa eqiniso okufanele abe yikho kumaKristu asemancane nabangakholwa. URuthe wabusiswa ngokukhothoza eceleni kwabavuni, wakhiwa emhlabathini ngamabomu, wakhothoza phakathi kwezithungu, wakhothoza ezandleni zikaBowazi, washada noBowazi futhi wabusiswa ngesibusiso sokuzalwa kuka-Obede.  Namuhla ubalwa ohlwini lozalo lukaJesu Kristu. Lokhu ukuphakama kwesibusiso; UNkulunkulu usabusisa futhi angakubusisa nawe. Qiniseka ukuthi ukulozalo lokomoya oluseGazini likaJesu Kristu; umuntu wethu wenkosi mkhululi. Funda u-1 Petru 1: 7-9, “ukuze ukuvivinywa kokholo lwenu kubaluleke kakhulu kunegolide elibhubhayo, noma lingalingwa ngomlilo, kutholakale kube yindumiso, nodumo, nodumo ekubonakaleni kukaJesu Kristu. nithi ningabonanga, nithande; enikholwa kuye, noma ningamboni manje, nithokoza ngentokozo engakhulumekiyo negcwele inkazimulo, namukela ukuphela kokukholwa kwenu, yebo, ukusindiswa kwemiphefumulo yenu. ” Kholwa njengoRuthe futhi wamukele uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho.
