Ingabe uJesu unguNkulunkulu yini na? Lithini iZwi likaNkulunkulu? UJesu Kristu wathi yena  unguNkulunkulu.

John 10:30-34

Mina no Baba simunye.”

AbaJuda base bebuye bethatha amatshe ukuba bamkhande. UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “Nginitshengise imisebenzi eminingi emihle evela kuBaba; yimuphi umsebenzi kulena eningikhandela wona na?” Bamphendula abaJuda, bathi: “Asikukhandi ngenxa yomsebenzi omuhle kepha ngenxa yokuhlambalaza, ngokuba wena ungumuntu ozenza uNkulunkulu.” UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “Akulotshiwe yini emthethweni wakini ukuthi: ‘Ngithe: Ningonkulunkulu,’ na?“Mina noBaba simunye.” Sidinga kuphela ukubheka indlela amaJuda asabela ngayo esitatimendeni Sakhe ukuze sazi ukuthi wayethi unguNkulunkulu. Bazama ukumkhanda ngamatshe ngenxa yalesi sizathu: “Wena, muntu nje, uzibiza ngokuthi unguNkulunkulu”

Johane 10:33

Bamphendula abaJuda, bathi: “Asikukhandi ngenxa yomsebenzi omuhle kepha ngenxa yokuhlambalaza, ngokuba wena ungumuntu ozenza uNkulunkulu.”

AmaJuda akuqonda kahle lokho uJesu ayekusho—ubuNkulunkulu.

Lapho uJesu ethi, “Mina noBaba simunye,” Wayethi Yena noBaba bangu Nkulunkulu oyedwa.Bamunye.

UJohane 8:58 -59

UJesu wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Engakabikho u-Abrahama, ngangikhona mina.” Base bethatha amatshe ukuba bamkhande. Kepha uJesu wasithela, waphuma ethempelini.

uJohn 8:58-59 ngesinye isibonelo esisho ukuthi uJesu Kristu ungu Nkulunkulu. UJesu wathi: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini, engakazalwa u-Abrahama, mina ngikhona.”

Lokhu kubhekisela ku-

Eksodusi 3:14-15

UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Nginguye enginguye.” Wathi: “Uzakusho njalo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UNgikhona* ungithumile.’ ” UNkulunkulu wathi futhi kuMose: “Uzakusho njalo kubo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini.’ Yileli eliyigama lami kuze kube phakade, lesi siyisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.

 lapho uNkulunkulu uzembula ngokuthi ” NGINGU NGIKHONA.” AmaJuda ezwa amazwi kaJesu aqonda ukuthi wayesebenzisa igama likaNkulunkulu kuYe.  UJesu Kristu uzibiza ngokuthi Yena ungu Nkulunkulu.

kuyiqiniso ukuthi uJesu akakaze awasho ngqo amazwi athi, “NginguNkulunkulu.” Wakwenza, nokho, ukusho ukuthi unguNkulunkulu ngezindlela eziningi ezahlukene, futhi labo abamuzwayo babekwazi kahle ukuthi uthini. Ngokwesibonelo, kuJohane 10:30, uJesu wathi, “Mina noBaba simunye.” AmaJuda ayemuzwa esho lawo mazwi ayazi kahle ukuthi wayezisho ukuthi unguNkulunkulu, njengoba kwafakazelwa ukusabela kwawo: “Abamelene naye abangamaJuda bacosha amatshe ukuze bamkhande” (Johane 10:31). Lapho ebabuza ukuthi kungani babezama ukumkhanda ngamatshe, bathi, “Ngenxa yokuhlambalaza, ngoba wena, umuntu nje, uthi unguNkulunkulu” (Johane 10:33).  Ukukhandwa ngamatshe kwakuyisijeziso sokuhlambalaza ( Levitikusi 24:16 ), futhi amaJuda asola uJesu ngokusobala ngokuthi wayethi unguNkulunkulu.

UJesu washo enye inkulumo ethi unguNkulunkulu lapho ethi: “Ngiqinisile impela ngithi kini, ngaphambi kokuba u-Abrahama azalwe, mina ngikhona!” ( Johane 8:58 ) AmaJuda, lapho emuzwa, aqonda ngokucacile ukuthi Wayethi wayekhona ngaphambili, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthi unguYahweh, “NGIKHONA” omkhulu ku-Eksodusi 3:14. Kulokhu, futhi, bazama ukumkhanda ngamatshe ngenxa yokuhlambalaza.

IVangeli likaJohane liqala ngamazwi aphathelene nobunkulunkulu bukaJesu: “Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayenoNkulunkulu, futhi uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu” (Johane 1:1, kugcizelelwa). Evesini 14 , uJohane uchaza uLizwi: “ULizwi waba yinyama, wakha phakathi kwethu, sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo yeNdodana ezelwe yodwa eyavela kuYise, egcwele umusa neqiniso. UJohane uyaqinisekisa ukuthi uLizwi (uJesu) unguNkulunkulu, futhi wasuka ezulwini weza emhlabeni esesimweni somuntu ukuze aphile nabantu futhi abonise inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba.

Abafundi bakaJesu bamuzwa ngokusobala ememezela ubuNkulunkulu Bakhe. Ngemva kokuvuka kukaJesu, uTomase umfundi owayengabaza ekugcineni wabuqonda ubunkulunkulu bukaJesu, ethi “uyiNkosi yami noNkulunkulu wami” (Johane 20:28). Ukuba uJesu wayengeyona iNkosi noNkulunkulu, wayeyomlungisa uTomase, kodwa akazange amlungise; UThomas wakhuluma iqiniso. Ngemva kokubona uJesu ehamba phezu kwamanzi, abafundi bakhe bakhuleka kuye (Mathewu 14:33). Lapho ebonakala kubo ngemva kokuvuka kwabafileyo, bawa ezinyaweni Zakhe futhi bamkhonza ( Mathewu 28:9 ). Abafundi babesazi kahle isijeziso soMthetho KaMose sokuhlambalaza, kodwa babemkhulekela njengoNkulunkulu, futhi uJesu wakwamukela ukukhulekela kwabo. UJesu akakaze abasole abantu ngokumkhulekela, bemukela ukukhulekela kwabo njengokuhle nokufanelekile.

UbuNkulunkulu bukaJesu buyaziwa kulo lonke iTestamente Elisha. UPawulu wayekulindele ngokulangazela “ukubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu” ( Thithu 2:13 ) futhi wasikhuthaza ukuba senze okufanayo. Bobabili uPawulu noJohane bamemezela ukuthi uJesu wadala indawo yonke (Johane 1:3; Kolose 1:16–17), nokho uGenesise 1:1 usho ngokucacile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba. Lokhu kungasho kuphela ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu. Ngisho noNkulunkulu uBaba wabhekisela kuJesu njengoNkulunkulu: “NgeNdodana uthi, ‘Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, O Nkulunkulu, singesaphakade naphakade’” ( Hebheru 1:8 , NW, ecaphuna IHubo 45:6 ).

Ingabe uJesu wathi unguNkulunkulu? Yebo, ngezindlela eziningi, kuhlanganise nokusebenzisa amagama nezimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu Kuye. Wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi wayenguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, ekufakazela ngamazwi Akhe, ngezimangaliso Zakhe, futhi ekugcineni ngokuvuka Kwakhe kwabafileyo. Nakuba ekuqaleni babengabaza, labo ababeqiniseka ngobunkulunkulu Bakhe baqonda ukuthi kungani kufanele afe esiphambanweni. Uma ubengumuntu nje, ukufa Kwakhe bekuyokwanela kuphela ukukhokhela izono Zakhe, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayenguNkulunkulu enyameni, umhlatshelo Wakhe wawungenasiphelo futhi ungcwele futhi ukwazi ukukhokhela zonke izono zomhlaba.

Baphendula ngokuthatha amatshe ukuze bambulale ngenxa yokuhlambalaza, bekholelwa ukuthi babelandela uMthetho KaMose (bona Levitikusi 24:16).

Ingabe uJesu unguNkulunkulu? — Abalandeli Bakhe bamemezela ukuthi unguNkulunkulu.

UJohane ugcizelela iqiniso lobunkulunkulu bukaJesu: “ULizwi [uJesu] wayenguNkulunkulu” futhi “uLizwi waba yinyama” (Johane 1:1, 14). La mavesi abonisa ngokucacile ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu enyameni. UPawulu wayala abadala base-Efesu ukuba “babelusi bebandla likaNkulunkulu, alithenga ngegazi lakhe siqu.”— IzEnzo 20:28 . Ubani owathenga ibandla ngegazi lakhe? UJesu Kristu. Futhi lelivesi elifanayo liyamemezela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathenga ibandla laKhe ngegazi laKhe uqobo. Ngakho-ke, uJesu unguNkulunkulu.

UTomase umfundi wabiza uJesu ngokuthi “Nkosi yami noNkulunkulu wami” (Johane 20:28). UJesu akamlungisi kodwa kunalokho uyakwamukela ukukhulekelwa.  UThithu 2:13 usikhuthaza ukuba silindele ukufika “kukaNkulunkulu wethu omkhulu noMsindisi, uJesu Kristu” (bona futhi 2 Petru 1:1). Umbhali wamaHeberu uveza ukuthi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ibizwa ngokuthi “Nkulunkulu” eTestamenteni Elidala: “Kodwa ngeNdodana uthi [uYise]: ‘Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, O Nkulunkulu, singesaphakade naphakade, nentonga yobukhosi iyoba yintonga yombuso wakho’” ( Hebheru 1:8 , NW, ecaphuna IHubo 45:6 ). Ngakho, uBaba uqobo Lwakhe ubiza uJesu ngokuthi “Nkulunkulu.”

Encwadini yesAmbulo, ingelosi iyala umphostoli uJohane ukuba akhonze uNkulunkulu kuphela (IsAmbulo 19:10). Izikhathi eziningana emBhalweni uJesu uthola ukukhulekelwa (Mathewu 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Luka 24:52; Johane 9:38). Akakaze abakhuze abantu ngokukhonza Yena. Lapho evumela abantu ukuba bamkhulekele, uJesu wayesho ngokungagunci ukuthi unguNkulunkulu.

Ingabe uJesu unguNkulunkulu? — Isizathu sokuba uJesu abe nguNkulunkulu.

Isizathu esibaluleke kakhulu sokuthi uJesu kumele abe uNkulunkulu ukuthi, uma engeyena uNkulunkulu, ukufa Kwakhe bekungeke kwanele ukukhokhela inhlawulo yezono zomhlaba (1 Johane 2:2). Umuntu odaliwe wayengeke akwazi ukukhokha inhlawulo engapheli edingekayo ukuze athethelele isono kuNkulunkulu ongapheli. Kodwa uJesu ungumuntu ongadalwanga; njengoNkulunkulu, Wayengakhokha inhlawulo engapheli. NjengoNgcwele, uJesu akanasono futhi angathatha izono zezwe (2 Korinte 5:21). NjengoNkulunkulu osenyameni yomuntu, wayengafa futhi avuswe, efakazela ukunqoba Kwakhe phezu kwesono nokufa.

Ingabe uJesu unguNkulunkulu? Yebo. UJesu wazibonakalisa ukuthi unguNkulunkulu. Abalandeli Bakhe babekholelwa ukuthi unguNkulunkulu. Futhi ilungiselelo lensindiso lisebenza kuphela uma uJesu enguNkulunkulu. UJesu unguNkulunkulu osenyameni, u-Alfa no-Omega waphakade (IsAmbulo 1:8; 22:13), futhi uNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu (2 Petru 1:1).

Kusho ukuthini ukuthi uJesu “uyizibulo” phezu kwendalo?

Encwadini ayibhalela ibandla laseKolose, umphostoli uPawulu wanikeza incazelo ethakazelisayo ngoJesu. Kuyo, wachaza ubuhlobo bukaKristu noNkulunkulu uBaba kanye nendalo. Abanye baye bathi ukuchaza kukaPawulu uKristu njengezibulo lendalo kusho ukuthi uJesu wadalwa—hhayi owaphakade, hhayi uNkulunkulu. Nokho, imfundiso enjalo iyangqubuzana nalo lonke iBhayibheli. UKristu wayengeke abe yikho kokubili uMdali futhi adalwe;  UJohane 1 umbiza ngoMdali ngokusobala. Ake sihlole ngokucophelela isiqephu lapho uJesu ebizwa khona ngokuthi izibulo.

Kolose 1:15-21
“Futhi ingumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali, izibulo layo yonke indalo, ngokuba kwadalwa ngayo zonke izinto ezisezulwini nasemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, noma izihlalo zobukhosi, noma ubukhosi, noma ababusi, noma amagunya, zonke izinto zidalwe nguye futhi zidalelwe yena. ngokuba kwaba kuhle kuYise ukuba ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuye, nokuba abuyisane naye zonke izinto, enze ukuthula ngaye ngegazi lesiphambano sakhe, noma okusemhlabeni noma okusezulwini.

UJesu unguNkulunkulu
Ubudlelwane bukaKristu noYise buqala ngegama elithi “umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali.” Igama elithi “umfanekiso,” elisho ikhophi noma ukufana, libonisa ubunkulunkulu bukaKristu. Leli gama lihilela okungaphezu kokufana, okungaphezu kokumelela. UnguNkulunkulu! Nakuba ethathe isimo somuntu, unesimo esifana nesikaBaba Wakhe (KumaHebheru 1:3).

“Izwi” likaJohane 1:1 linguMuntu ongcwele, hhayi ifilosofi yefilosofi. Esesimweni somuntu, uNkulunkulu ongabonakali wabonakala kuKristu; ubuNkulunkulu bembethe ubuntu (Mathewu 17:2). UNkulunkulu ukuKristu: uyabonakala, uyazwakala, uyangeneka, uyabonakala, futhi uyatholakala. Konke lokho uNkulunkulu ayikho, uKristu uyikho.

UJesu uyiNkosi yeNdalo
Incazelo ethi “izibulo layo yonke indalo” ikhuluma ngokuba khona kukaKristu ngaphambili. Akasona isidalwa kodwa unguMdali waphakade (Johane 1:10). UNkulunkulu wadala umhlaba ngoKristu futhi wahlenga umhlaba ngoKristu (KumaHeberu 1:2-4).

Phawula ukuthi uJesu ubizwa ngokuthi izibulo, hhayi owokuqala. Igama elithi “izibulo” (igama lesiGreki elithi “prototokos”) lisho ukubeka kuqala. Ngokwesiko laseMpumalanga Eseduze Yasendulo, izibulo lalingeyena ngempela umntwana omdala. izibulo lalingabhekiseli ohlelweni lokuzalwa kodwa ngokwesikhundla. Izibulo laliphethe ifa nobuholi.

Ngakho-ke, le nkulumo iveza ubukhosi bukaKristu phezu kwendalo. Ngemva kokuvusa uJesu kwabafileyo, uNkulunkulu wamnika igunya phezu komhlaba (Mathewu 28:18). UJesu wadala umhlaba, wasindisa umhlaba, futhi ubusa umhlaba. UyiNhloko yendalo ekhona futhi eyaziwayo.

Ekugcineni, umusho uyamqaphela njengoMesiya: “Ngiyakumenza [uKristu] izibulo lami, abe ngaphezu kwamakhosi omhlaba” ( IHubo 89:27 ).

Izikhathi eziyisithupha iNkosi uJesu imenyezelwa njengezibulo likaNkulunkulu (bona Roma 8:29; Kolose 1:15, 18; AmaHebheru 1:6; 12:23; IsAmbulo 1:5). Lezi ziqephu zimemezela ukuba khona ngaphambili, ubukhosi, kanye nesihlengo esinikezwa uKristu.

Ngakho, inkulumo ethi “izibulo layo yonke indalo” imemezela ubukhulu bukaKristu. NjengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu yaphakade, wadala indawo yonke. UnguMbusi wendalo!
