Kungani UJesu Ebizwa Ngokuthi INdodana KaNkulunkulu?

IBhayibheli livame ukubiza uJesu ngokuthi “iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” (Johane 1:49) Inkulumo ethi “iNdodana kaNkulunkulu” ivuma iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu unguMdali, noma uMthombo wakho konke ukuphila, kuhlanganise nokuphila kukaJesu. (IHubo 36:9; IsAmbulo 4:11) IBhayibheli alifundisi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wazala ingane ngendlela abazali abangabantu abazala ngayo izingane.

IBhayibheli libiza nezingelosi ngokuthi “amadodana kaNkulunkulu weqiniso.” (Jobe 1:6) IBhayibheli liphinde lithi umuntu wokuqala, u-Adamu, ‘wayeyindodana kaNkulunkulu.’ (Luka 3:38) Nokho, ngenxa yokuthi uJesu wayeyindalo kaNkulunkulu yokuqala nokuphela komuntu amdala yena uqobo, iBhayibheli lichaza uJesu ngokuthi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu eyinhloko.

• Ingabe uJesu wayephila ezulwini ngaphambi kokuba azalwe la emhlabeni?

• Wayenzani uJesu ngaphambi kokuba eze emhlabeni?

Yebo. UJesu wayeyisidalwa somoya ezulwini ngaphambi kokuba azalwe njengomuntu lapha emhlabeni. UJesu ngokwakhe wathi: ‘Ngehla ezulwini.’—Johane 6:38; 8:23.

UNkulunkulu wadala uJesu ngaphambi kokuba adale zonke ezinye izinto. Ngokuphathelene noJesu, iBhayibheli lithi:

• “Izibulo layo yonke indalo.”—Kolose 1:15.

• “Isiqalo sendalo kaNkulunkulu.”—IsAmbulo 3:14.

UJesu wagcwalisa isiprofetho esiphathelene nalowo “osiqalo sakhe sisukela ezikhathini zasendulo, ezinsukwini zakudala.”—Mika 5:2; Mathewu 2:4-6.

Wayenesikhundla esiphezulu ezulwini. UJesu wayekhuluma ngalesi sikhundla ngesikhathi ethandaza ethi: “Baba ngikhazimulise . . . ngibe nenkazimulo enganginayo eceleni kwakho ngaphambi kokuba izwe libe khona.”—Johane 17:5.

Wasiza uYise ekudaleni zonke ezinye izinto. UJesu wayesebenza noNkulunkulu ‘eyisisebenzi esiyingcweti.’ (IzAga 8:30) Ngokuphathelene noJesu, iBhayibheli lithi: “Kwadalwa ngayo zonke ezinye izinto emazulwini nasemhlabeni.”—Kolose 1:16.

UNkulunkulu wasebenzisa uJesu ukuze adale zonke ezinye izinto. Izinto ezadalwa zazihlanganisa zonke ezinye izidalwa zomoya, kanye namazulu agcwele izinkanyezi nomhlaba. (IsAmbulo 5:11) Ngandlela thile, ukubambisana okwakuphakathi kukaNkulunkulu noJesu singakufanisa nokubambisana okuba phakathi komdwebi wamapulani nomakhi. Umdwebi wamapulani udweba ipulani; umakhi uyakha ngokoqobo into ekulelo pulani.

WayenguLizwi. Lapho iBhayibheli likhuluma ngokuphila kukaJesu ngaphambi kokuba abe umuntu, libiza uJesu ngokuthi “uLizwi.” (Johane 1:1) Ngokusobala, lokho kusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wasebenzisa iNdodana yakhe ukuze adlulisele imiyalezo neziqondiso kwezinye izidalwa zomoya.

Kubukeka sengathi uJesu waba uMkhulumeli kaNkulunkulu nakubantu emhlabeni. Cishe uNkulunkulu wasebenzisa uJesu njengoLizwi ngesikhathi enikeza u-Adamu no-Eva iziqondiso ensimini yase-Edene. (Genesise 2:16, 17) Kungenzeka uJesu wayeyingelosi eyayiqondisa ama-Israyeli asendulo ehlane, leyo okwakumelwe ama-Israyeli alalelisise izwi layo.—Eksodusi 23:20-23.a
