Yesu adabwera ku Yerusalemu komaliza asanakondwere, pomwe anthu okhala ndi nthambi za kanjedza adamkonzera khomo. Anali wokonzeka kupereka moyo wake ngati nsembe ya machimo athu. Tiyeni tiwunikenso chowonadi chodabwitsa ichi potembenukira ku Kalata yopita kwa Aheberi yomwe ikuwonetsa kuti Unsembe Wamkulu wa Yesu ndi wapamwamba kuposa Unsembe wa Aroni.
Anthufe mwachibadwa ndife ochimwa, ndipo zochita zathu zimatsimikizira zimenezo. Yankho lake ndi chiyani? Nsembe za pangano lakale zimagwirira ntchito kuwulula tchimo ndikuwonetsa yankho lokhalo, nsembe yangwiro ndi yomaliza ya Yesu. Yesu ndiye nsembe yabwino m'njira zitatu:
“Pakuti chilamulo chili ndi mthunzi chabe wa zinthu zimene zirinkudza, osati zake zenizeni, chifukwa chake opereka nsembe sangathe kufikitsa kwamuyaya, pakuti nsembe zomwezo ziyenera kuperekedwa chaka ndi chaka. Kodi nsembe zikadalekeka ngati olambirawo akadayeretsedwa kamodzi kokha, osakhalanso ndi chikumbumtima cha machimo ao? Koma ndi chikumbutso chabe cha machimo chaka chilichonse. Pakuti n’kosatheka kuti magazi a ng’ombe zamphongo ndi mbuzi achotse machimo.” (Aheb. 10,1-4, LUT).
Malamulo oikidwa ndi Mulungu olamulira nsembe za pangano lakale anali kugwira ntchito kwa zaka mazana ambiri. Kodi ozunzidwawo angaonedwe bwanji kukhala otsika? Yankho n’lakuti, Chilamulo cha Mose chinali ndi “mthunzi chabe wa zinthu zimene zikubwera” osati zenizeni za katundu weniweniyo. Mchitidwe wa chipangano chakale unali wosakhalitsa, sunatulutse chilichonse chokhalitsa ndipo sunapangidwe kutero. dongosolo lonse.
Nsembe zanyama sizikanatha kuchotsa konse kulakwa kwa anthu. Ngakhale Mulungu adalonjeza chikhululukiro pansi pa pangano lakale la nsembe zokhulupirira, chinali chabe kuphimba kwakanthawi kwa tchimo osati kuchotsa kuchimwa m'mitima ya anthu. Zikanakhala kuti izi zidachitika, operekawo sakanayenera kupereka nsembe zina zomwe zidangogwiritsidwa ntchito monga chikumbutso cha tchimolo. Nsembe zoperekedwa pa Tsiku la Chitetezo zinkaphimba machimo amtunduwu; koma machimo awa "sanasambitsidwe", ndipo anthu sanalandire umboni wamkati wakukhululukidwa ndikuvomerezedwa ndi Mulungu. Panali kufunika kwa nsembe yoposa magazi a ng'ombe ndi mbuzi, omwe sanathe kuchotsa machimo. Nsembe yabwino yokha ya Yesu ndi yomwe ingachite izi.
“Chifukwa chake pakudza m’dziko lapansi anena, nsembe ndi zopereka simunazifuna; koma mudandikonzera ine thupi. Nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zamachimo simukonda. Ndipo ndinati, Taonani, ndadza (kwalembedwa za ine m’buku) kudzachita chifuniro chanu, Mulungu. Poyamba ananena kuti: “Nsembe ndi mitulo, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zauchimo simunazifuna, ndipo nsembe zoperekedwa monga mwa chilamulo simunazifuna; Koma kenako anati: “Taonani, ndabwera kudzachita chifuniro chanu”. Chotero amatenga woyamba kuyika wachiwiri.” (Aheb 10,5-9 ndi).
Anali Mulungu, osati munthu aliyense, yemwe adadzipereka. Mawuwo akuwonetseratu kuti Yesu mwini ndiye kukwaniritsidwa kwa nsembe za chipangano chakale. Nyama zikaperekedwa nsembe, zimatchedwa nsembe, pomwe nsembe zam'munda zimatchedwa zopereka za chakudya ndi zakumwa. Zonsezi ndizophiphiritsira nsembe ya Yesu ndipo zimawonetsa zina mwa ntchito yake kuti tipulumuke.
Mawu akuti “thupi munandikonzera” amanena za lemba la Salimo 40,7 ndipo anamasulira kuti: “Munatsegula makutu anga.” Mawu akuti “makutu otsegula” akutanthauza kufunitsitsa kumva ndi kumvera chifuniro cha Mulungu. thupi laumunthu kuti Iye achite chifuniro cha Atate padziko lapansi.
Kawiri konse, kukwiya kwa Mulungu ndi nsembe za pangano lakale kumawonetsedwa. Izi sizikutanthauza kuti nsembezi zinali zolakwika kapena kuti okhulupirira owona sanapindule nazo. Mulungu sasangalala ndi nsembe ngati izi, kupatula mitima yomvera ya omwe amapereka. Palibe nsembe, ngakhale itakhala yayikulu bwanji, yomwe ingasinthe mtima womvera!
Yesu adabwera kudzachita chifuniro cha Atate. Chifuniro chake ndikuti pangano latsopano lidzalowe m'malo mwa pangano lakale. Kudzera mu imfa yake ndi kuuka kwake, Yesu "adafafaniza" pangano loyamba kuti likhazikitse lachiwiri. Owerenga achiyuda achikhristu oyamba a kalatayo adazindikira tanthauzo la mawu odabwitsa awa - bwanji kubwerera m'pangano lomwe lidachotsedwa?
“Chifukwa chakuti Yesu Khristu anachita chifuniro cha Mulungu ndipo anapereka thupi lake monga nsembe, ife tsopano tayeretsedwa kamodzi kokha.” (Aheb. 10,10 Kumasulira kwatsopano kwa Geneva).
Okhulupirira “amayeretsedwa” (kuyeretsedwa kutanthauza “kupatulidwa kuti agwiritse ntchito mwaumulungu”) ndi nsembe ya thupi la Yesu yoperekedwa kamodzi kwa onse. Palibe wozunzidwa wa pangano lakale anachita zimenezo. M’pangano lakale, opereka nsembe anayenera ‘kuyeretsedwa’ mobwerezabwereza kuchoka ku chidetso chawo chamwambo.” Koma “oyera mtima” a pangano latsopano potsirizira pake ndi ‘opatulidwa’ kotheratu—osati chifukwa cha mikhalidwe yawo kapena ntchito zawo, koma chifukwa cha nyonga zawo. nsembe yangwiro ya Yesu.
“Wansembe wina aliyense amaima pa guwa la nsembe tsiku ndi tsiku kutumikira, napereka nsembe zosawerengeka zomwe sizikhoza kuchotsa machimo. Koma Khristu, atapereka nsembe imodzi chifukwa cha machimo, wakhazikika pa dzanja lamanja la Mulungu kosatha, m’malo a ulemu, kuyambira pamene adayembekezera adani ake aikidwe chopondapo mapazi ake. Pakuti ndi nsembe imodzi imeneyi iye anakhululukira kotheratu ku zolakwa zawo onse amene analola kuyeretsedwa ndi iye. Mzimu Woyera umatsimikiziranso izi kwa ife. M'Malemba (Yer. 31,33-34) choyamba limati: “Pangano limene ndidzapangana nawo lidzakhala motere: ndidzaika malamulo anga m’mitima mwawo, ati Yehova, ndipo ndidzawalemba m’kati mwao. Ndiyeno likupitiriza kuti: “Sindidzalingalira konse za machimo awo ndi kusamvera kwawo malamulo anga. Koma pamene machimo akhululukidwa, sipafunikanso nsembe ina.” (Aheb. 10,11-18 Kumasulira kwatsopano kwa Geneva).
Wolemba Kalata yopita kwa Aheberi akusiyanitsa mkulu wansembe wam'chipangano chakale ndi Yesu, mkulu wansembe wamkulu wa chipangano chatsopano. Mfundo yoti Yesu adadzipanga yekha Atate atakwera kumwamba ndi umboni woti ntchito yake idamalizidwa. Mosiyana ndi izi, utumiki wa ansembe akale a pangano sunamalizidwe, kupereka nsembe zomwezo tsiku ndi tsiku.Kubwereza kumeneku kunali umboni kuti nsembe zawo sizimachotsadi machimo. Ndi nsembe zanyama masauzande ambiri zomwe sakanakwanitsa, Yesu adakwaniritsa kwamuyaya ndi nsembe yake imodzi yangwiro.
Mawu akuti “[Khristu] . . . wakhala pansi” akutanthauza Salimo 110,1: “Khala kudzanja langa lamanja kufikira nditawaika adani ako chopondapo mapazi ako!” Yesu tsopano akulemekezedwa ndipo watenga malo a wopambanayo. Atate, amene amam’khulupirira tsopano sayenera kuopa, chifukwa “amakhala angwiro kwamuyaya.” (Aheb. 10,14). Ndipotu okhulupirira amapeza “chidzalo mwa Khristu.” (Akolose 2,10). Kupyolera mu chiyanjano chathu ndi Yesu timayima pamaso pa Mulungu ngati angwiro.
Kodi tikudziwa bwanji kuti tili ndi kaimidwe kameneka pamaso pa Mulungu? Opereka nsembe zapangano lakale sananene kuti “sanafunikirenso chikumbumtima cha machimo awo.” Koma okhulupirira pangano latsopano anganene kuti chifukwa cha zimene Yesu anachita, Mulungu safunanso kukumbukira machimo awo ndi zolakwa zawo. Choncho “palibenso nsembe ya uchimo.” Chifukwa chiyani?
Pamene tiyamba kukhulupilira Yesu, timapeza choonadi chakuti machimo athu onse akhululukidwa mwa Iye ndi kudzera mwa Iye. Kudzutsidwa kwauzimu kumeneku, komwe ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mzimu kwa ife, kumachotsa zolakwa zonse. Ndi chikhulupiriro timadziwa kuti nkhani ya uchimo yathetsedwa kwamuyaya ndipo tili ndi ufulu wochita zinthu mogwirizana ndi zimenezi. Mwanjira imeneyi ndife “oyeretsedwa”.
Pansi pa pangano lakale, palibe wokhulupirira akadakhala wolimba mtima kulowa m’malo opatulika a m’chihema kapena kachisi. Ngakhale mkulu wa ansembe ankalowa m’chipindachi kamodzi pachaka. Nsalu yokhuthala imene inalekanitsa malo opatulika ndi opatulika inali ngati chotchinga pakati pa munthu ndi Mulungu. Ndi imfa ya Khristu yokha yomwe ingaphwasule nsalu iyi kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi5,38) ndi kutsegula njira yopita ku malo opatulika akumwamba kumene Mulungu amakhala. Poganizira mfundo zimenezi, amene analemba Kalata yopita kwa Aheberi akutumiza kuitana kotereku:
“Chotero tsopano, abale ndi alongo okondedwa, tili ndi mwayi wolowa m’malo opatulika a Mulungu kwaulere; Yesu anatsegula kwa ife kudzera mu mwazi wake. Kupyolera mu nsalu yotchinga - izi zikutanthauza konkire: kupyolera mu nsembe ya thupi lake - wakonza njira yomwe palibe amene adayendapo, njira yopita kumoyo. + Ndipo tili ndi mkulu wa ansembe woyang’anira nyumba yonse ya Mulungu. Ndicho chifukwa chake timafuna kufikira Mulungu ndi kudzipereka kosagawanika ndi chidaliro chonse ndi chidaliro. Kupatula apo, timawazidwa mkati mwa magazi a Yesu ndipo potero timamasulidwa ku chikumbumtima chathu cholakwa; ndife – mophiphiritsa – tasambitsidwa ponseponse ndi madzi oyera. Komanso, tiyeni tigwiritse mosagwedezeka chiyembekezo chimene timavomereza; pakuti Mulungu ali wokhulupirika, nasunga chimene walonjeza. Ndipo popeza ifenso tili ndi udindo kwa wina ndi mnzake, tiyeni tilimbikitsane kuti tizisonyezana chikondi ndi kuchitirana zabwino. Choncho n’kofunika kuti tisakhale ku misonkhano yathu, monga mmene ena achitira, koma kuti tilimbikitsane, ndipo makamaka kuti, monga mukuonera nokha, tsiku likuyandikira pamene Ambuye adzabwera. bweraninso” (Aheb. 10,19-25 Kumasulira kwatsopano kwa Geneva).
Chidaliro chathu chakuti taloledwa kulowa m’Malo Opatulikitsa, kubwera pamaso pa Mulungu, chazikidwa pa ntchito yomalizidwa ya Yesu, Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu. Pa Tsiku la Chitetezo, mkulu wa ansembe wa chipangano chakale ankatha kulowa m’malo oyera kwambiri m’kachisi ngati anapereka magazi a nsembe (Aheb. 9,7). Koma sitili ndi ngongole ya kulowa kwathu pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha mwazi wa nyama, koma mwazi wokhetsedwa wa Yesu. Kulowa mwaufulu kumeneku pamaso pa Mulungu ndi kwatsopano osati mbali ya Chipangano Chakale, chomwe chimanenedwa kukhala “chachikale ndi chosatha” ndipo “posachedwa” chidzazimiririka palimodzi, kutanthauza kuti Ahebri analembedwa chiwonongeko cha Kachisi chisanachitike mu AD 70. . Njira yatsopano ya pangano latsopano imatchedwanso “njira ya kumoyo” ( Aheb. 10,22) chifukwa Yesu “ali ndi moyo kosatha ndipo sadzaleka kuimirira m’malo mwathu” (Aheb. 7,25). Yesu mwiniyo ndiye njira yatsopano ndi yamoyo! Iye ali Pangano Latsopano mwa munthu.
Timabwera kwa Mulungu momasuka ndi molimba mtima kudzera mwa Yesu, Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu pa “Nyumba ya Mulungu”. “Nyumbayo ndi ife, ngati tigwira mwamphamvu chiyembekezo chimene Mulungu watipatsa, chimene chimatidzaza ndi chimwemwe ndi kunyada.” (Aheb. 3,6 Kumasulira kwatsopano kwa Geneva). Pamene thupi lake linaphedwa pa mtanda ndipo moyo wake unaperekedwa nsembe, Mulungu anang’amba chinsalu chotchinga cha m’kachisi, kusonyeza njira yatsopano ndi yamoyo imene yatseguka kwa onse okhulupirira Yesu. Timasonyeza chidaliro chimenechi mwa kuyankha m’njira zitatu, monga momwe mlembi wa Ahebri analongosolera chiitano m’mbali zitatu:
Pansi pa Pangano Lakale, ansembe amayandikira pamaso pa Mulungu m'kachisi atatha kutsuka mosiyanasiyana. Pansi pa Pangano Latsopano, tonsefe tili ndi mwayi wofikira kwa Mulungu mwa Yesu chifukwa cha kuyeretsedwa kwa mkati (mtima) wochitidwa kwa anthu kudzera mu moyo wake, imfa, kuuka kwake, ndi kukwera kumwamba. Mwa Yesu timawazidwa “mkati mwa mwazi wa Yesu” ndipo “matupi athu amatsukidwa ndi madzi oyera.” Chotsatira chake, tili ndi chiyanjano chokwanira ndi Mulungu, choncho tikuitanidwa “kutseka” – kulowa, amene athu mwa Khristu, kotero tiyeni tikhale olimba mtima, olimba mtima, ndi odzala ndi chikhulupiriro!
Tiyeni tigwiritsitse
Owerenga oyambirira a Chiyuda ndi Chikhristu a Ahebri adayesedwa kusiya kudzipereka kwawo kwa Yesu kuti abwerere ku dongosolo la Chipangano Chakale la kupembedza kwa okhulupirira achiyuda. Chovuta kwa iwo kuti “agwire” sikuli kugwiritsitsa chipulumutso chawo, chimene chili chotsimikizirika mwa Khristu, koma “kukhalabe okhazikika m’chiyembekezo” chimene “adzinenera”. Mungachite zimenezi molimba mtima komanso moleza mtima chifukwa Mulungu, yemwe analonjeza kuti thandizo limene tikufunikira lidzabwera pa nthawi yoyenera (Aheb. 4,16), ndi “wokhulupirika” ndipo amasunga zimene analonjeza. Ngati okhulupirira asunga chiyembekezo chawo mwa Khristu ndi kudalira kukhulupirika kwa Mulungu, sadzagwedezeka. Tiyeni tiyembekezere mwachiyembekezo ndikudalira Khristu!
Kudalira kwathu monga okhulupirira Khristu kulowa pamaso pa Mulungu kumawonetsedwa osati mwa ife tokha komanso palimodzi. Nkutheka kuti Akhristu achiyuda adasonkhana m'sunagoge ndi Ayuda ena pa Sabata kenako adakumana pagulu lachikhristu Lamlungu. Anayesedwa kuti achoke m'gulu lachikhristu. Wolemba Aheberi adati sayenera kuchita izi ndikuwalimbikitsa kuti azilimbikitsana kuti apitilize kupita kumisonkhano.
Ubale wathu ndi Mulungu suyenera kukhala wodzikonda. Timayitanidwa kuyanjana ndi okhulupilira ena m'mipingo yapafupi (monga yathu). Kugogomezera apa mu Kalata yopita kwa Ahebri sikuli pa zomwe wokhulupirira amapeza popita kutchalitchi, koma pa zomwe amapereka poganizira ena. Kupezeka pamisonkhano mosalekeza kumalimbikitsa ndi kulimbikitsa abale ndi alongo athu mwa Kristu “kukondana wina ndi mnzake ndi kuchita zabwino.” Cholinga champhamvu cha kulimbikira kumeneku ndi kubwera kwa Yesu Khristu. Pali ndime yachiwiri yokha yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito liwu lachi Greek loti "msonkhano" mu Chipangano Chatsopano, ndipo ili mkati 2. Atesalonika 2,1, kumene amamasuliridwa kuti “kusonkhana pamodzi (NGU)” kapena “kusonkhanitsa (LUT)” ndipo akutanthauza kubweranso kwachiwiri kwa Yesu kumapeto kwa nthawi.
Tili ndi zifukwa zonse zokhalira ndi chidaliro chonse chopita mtsogolo mwachikhulupiliro ndi chipiriro. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa Ambuye yemwe timamutumikira ndiye nsembe yathu yayikulu kwambiri - nsembe yake kwa ife ndiyokwanira pazonse zomwe tingafune. Wansembe wathu wamkulu wangwiro komanso wamphamvuyonse adzatifikitsa ku cholinga chathu - adzakhala ndi ife nthawi zonse ndikutitsogolera ku ungwiro.
