Kathathu, eVangelini likaJohane, uJesu utshela abantu ukuthi bacele okuthile “ngegama lami”. Kuzwakala sengathi ucabanga ukuncenga, okungukuthi uJesu kanye “noBaba” bangabantu abahlukene. Kodwa siyazi ukuthi lokho akulungile - Ungumuntu oyedwa. Noma kunjalo, lawo mazwi kulula ukuwaqonda, futhi amaKristu abambene nawo kusukela ekuqaleni kakhulu. Ake sibhekisise imibhalo yeBhayibheli, sibone ukuthi singathola yini isithombe esicacile, siqonde ukuthi uJesu usho ukuthini. EZwini, igama lomuntu lifanekisela ikhwalithi yakhe yangempela, noma imvelo. Kukhumbule lokhu njengoba ufunda lesi sihloko; kuzosiza! Okokuqala, nazi iziqephu ezintathu "egameni Lami" ezivela kuJohane: "Anikholwa yini ukuthi ngikuBaba, noBaba ukimi na? Amazwi engiwasho kini, angiwakhulumi ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi wenza imisebenzi yakhe; engikwenzayo mina, yena uyakukwenza; futhi uyokwenza imisebenzi emikhulu kunale, ngoba ngiya kuBaba noma yini eniyakukucela egameni lami, lokho ngizokwenza , ukuze uBaba akhazimuliswe eNdodaneni niyakucela noma yini ngegama lami, ngiyakuyenza.Johane 14:10-14)
Aningikhethanga, kepha mina nginikhethile, nganibeka ukuba nihambe, nithele isithelo, nesithelo senu sihlale; ukuze noma yini eniyakukucela kuBaba egameni lami, aninike khona . (Johane 15:16)
"Ngakho-ke nina manje nilusizi, kodwa ngizobuye nginibone, futhi inhliziyo yenu iyojabula, futhi akukho muntu oyoniphuca injabulo yenu. Ngalolo suku aniyikungibuza imibuzo. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, noma yini eningayicela kuBaba egameni lami, uyoninika yona . Kuze kube manje anikaceli lutho egameni lami. Celani, futhi niyokwamukela , ukuze injabulo yenu igcwale. Ngikhulume lezizinto kini ngemifanekiso. Kodwa isikhathi siyeza lapho ngingasayikukhuluma kini ngemifanekiso, kodwa ngizalitshela ngokusobala ngoBaba. Ngalolo suku niyocela egameni lami; futhi angisho kini ukuthi ngizonithandazela kuBaba, ngoba uBaba ngokwakhe uyanithanda, ngoba niye nangithanda, futhi niye nakholwa ukuthi mina ngavela kuNkulunkulu . Ngaphuma kuBaba, futhi ngizile emhlabeni. Ngiyaphinda ngiyalishiya izwe, ngiya kuBaba.”Johane 16:22-28)
Lawa mavesi ahambisana kakhulu, kodwa kukhona ama-nuances athakazelisayo. KuJohane 14, uJesu uthi “lokho ngizokwenza”. Hhayi ubaba, lapho, kuleso sibonelo. KuJohane 15, uJesu uthi uBaba uyokwanelisa izicelo ezenziwa “egameni Lami”, futhi lapho, uJesu noYise bazwakala behlukene ngandlela thize. Bese, kuJohane 16, futhi nguBaba enikeza izicelo. Nokho, kulokhu uJesu ukwenza kucace ukuthi maduze ngeke kubonakale ukuncenga. Kunalokho, uthi izinto ziyashintsha. Kunomqondo wokuthi ukwehlukana okusobala manje kuzophela, nokuthi ubunye buyikusasa, langempela, elingokoqobo.
Ukuhlanganisa lezi zingcaphuno ezintathu, kulula ukubona ukuthi kungani abantu bengadideka, futhi kungani "egameni likaJesu sikhuleka" bekungaba ifomula yobuKristu evamile. Kodwa, ngokufunda ngokucophelela, kuyabonakala ukuthi “eGameni Lami” akusho ngempela ukuthi abantu ababili, njengokusho kukaJohane 14. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwehlukana okubonwayo kuka “Baba” kanye “neNdodana” kungokwesikhashana; isizoshintsha.
Ukuze uthole umongo obanzi, nazi ezinye izindawo eTestamenteni Elisha lapho inkulumo ethi “egameni Lami” ivela khona. UMathewu, uMarku, noLuka bonke balandisa indaba yokusho kweNkosi ukuthi kufanele samukele abantwana abancane “ngegama lami”. Ezingxenyeni ezimbili zalezi ziqephu, kukhona ukusikisela kwakho kokubili ukwehlukana nobunye.
“Owamukela umntwana omncane onje ngegama lami uyangamukela mina; yacwila ekujuleni kolwandle. (Mathewu 18:5-6)
"Noma ubani owamukela umntwana omncane onje ngegama lami uyangamukela mina, futhi noma ubani ongamukelayo akamukeli mina, kodwa lowo ongithumileyo.”Marku 9:37)
UJesu ebona ukuzindla kwenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana omncane, wammisa eceleni kwakhe, wathi kubo: “Noma ubani owamukela lo mntwana omncane egameni lami uyangamukela mina. omncane phakathi kwenu nonke, lo uzakuba mkhulu. (Luka 9:47-48)
Kule ndaba, sitshelwa ngokucacile ukuthi sivikele ubumsulwa. Kusenenkomba yokwehlukana, nakuba -- "ongithumileyo", kodwa nansi indlela esingabona ngayo lokhu: Singamukela "abantwana abancane" egameni leNkosi. Lapha, izingane ezincane zifanekisela ukungabi nacala. Bazimisele ukuholwa yiNkosi. Uma, njengabantu abadala, nathi sihlakulela lokho kuvuleleka ekuholeni kweNkosi, khona-ke singathola iQiniso laphezulu. Ngemibono yeqiniso eyakha izingqondo zethu, singathola Uthando LobuNkulunkulu, futhi.
Kwezinye iziqephu ezimbili zeTestamente Elisha, ukwenza okuthile egameni leNkosi kudlulisa amandla, futhi lapha akushiwo lutho ngokuhlukana:
UJohane wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, sabona umuntu ongasilandeliyo ekhipha amademoni ngegama lakho, samnqabela, ngokuba engasilandeli. Kodwa uJesu wathi: “Ningamenqabeli, ngokuba akakho owenza umsebenzi wamandla ngegama lami, futhi asheshe akhulume kabi ngami, ngokuba ongamelene nathi ungakithi. ngininike inkezo yamanzi ukuba niphuze egameni lami, ngokuba ningabakaKristu, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akasoze alahlekelwa ngumvuzo wakhe. (Marku 9:38-41)
"Lezi zibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo: ngegama lami bayakukhipha amademoni; bayokhuluma ngezilimi ezintsha; bayophatha izinyoka; uma bephuza okubulalayo, akusoze kwabalimaza; bayobeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, futhi bayosinda.”Marku 16:17-18)
Okokugcina, nasi esinye isiqephu seTestamente Elisha esisebenzayo. Futhi, lapha akukho ukusikisela kokuhlukana:
Ngokuba lapho kubuthene ababili noma abathathu egameni lami, ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabo. (Mathewu 18:20)
Ku Izimfihlakalo Zezulu 2921, Kunengxoxo ethokozisayo yamagama eNkosi. Amagama ahlukene asetshenziswa eZwini anezincazelo ezahlukene zezimpawu. Kwenye indawo kulombhalo uthi, “Emva kokuvuka kwabafileyo, abafundi babembiza njalo ngokuthi Nkosi. Lokhu ungakubona ku Johane 20:2, 13, 15, 18, 20, 25; 21:7, 12, 15-17, 20; Marku 16:19-20. Futhi ku Johane 20:28, UTomase uthi: "Nkosi yami noNkulunkulu wami."
Uma sibuyela eTestamenteni Elidala, sithola umusho othi “egameni Lami” uvela lapho, futhi, kodwa hhayi kaningi.
KuDuteronomi, uJehova uthi:
“Kuyakuthi yilowo nalowo ongayikulalela amazwi ami ayakuwakhuluma egameni lami, mina ngiyakukubuza kuye. (Dutheronomi 18:19-20)
KumaHubo, sithola lesi sibonelo:
Kodwa ukwethembeka kwami nomusa wami wothando kuyakuba kuye. Ngegama lami, uphondo lwakhe luyophakanyiswa. (AmaHubo 89:24)
Nokho, uma ufuna inkulumo ethi “igama likaJehova” eZwini, uthola imiphumela engu-86 kuyi-American Standard Version, yonke eTestamenteni Elidala. Izindlela ezivamile ezisetshenziswa ngazo zihlanganisa “ukubiza igama likaJehova” noma “ukukhonza egameni likaJehova”. Futhi, eZwini, igama lothile libonisa imfanelo yakhe yangempela yokomoya, noma imvelo. Igama likaNkulunkulu libaluleke kakhulu: “Ungaliphathi ngeze igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho”. Ukuhlambalaza kubi kakhulu. Iziprofetho zamanga egameni likaJehova zimbi kakhulu.
Ake sibuyele embuzweni wokuqala: usho ukuthini uJesu lapho esitshela ukuthi sibuze “egameni laKhe”?
Akusho ukuthi sicela umuntu oyedwa ukuthi asilamulele nomunye, okungenzeka abe nolaka kancane. Akusho abantu ababili nhlobo. Kusho ngempela ukuthi sicela usizo eNkosini ngokubona ikhwalithi Yakhe yeqiniso yomoya. UJesu “uyiZwi”. UyiQiniso LobuNkulunkulu, eshukunyiswa Uthando Lwaphezulu. Ukucela okuthile eGameni Lakhe kuwukusondela eNkosini ngombono ofuna iqiniso, futhi lokho kuwukuhlakanipha nothando.
