Jesus, Our Example of Shepherding UJesu, Isibonelo Sethu Sokuba Umalusi
Not a Hireling Ongaqashiwe John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. Joh 10:11 “Ngingumalusi omuhle. Umalusi omuhle udela ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yezimvu. 12 Okhokhelwayo engesiye umalusi, izimvu zingesizo ezakhe, ebona impisi iza, ushiya izimvu, abaleke impisi izidlozomele izihlakaze 13 ngokuba engokhokhelwayo, engazinakekeli izimvu. 14 Mina ngingumalusi omuhle; ngiyazazi ezami, nezami ziyangazi, 15 njengalokhu uBaba uyangazi, nami ngiyamazi uBaba; ngidela ukuphila kwami ngenxa yezimvu.
He dealt with it all Luke 9:37-56 Wabhekana nakho konke Lack of Faith 37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." 41 Jesus answered, "O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here." 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, Ukungabi nakukholwa 37 Kwathi ngangomuso sebehlile entabeni, isixuku esikhulu samhlangabeza. 38 Bheka, indoda yasesixukwini yamemeza yathi: Mfundisi, ngiyakunxusa ukuba ubheke indodana yami, ngokuba yiyo yodwa kimi. 39 Bheka, umoya uyayibamba, idazuluke masinyane; uyihlukumeza, ikhihlize amagwebu, amuke kuyo eseyizukile. 40 Ngibanxusile abafundi bakho ukuba bamkhiphe, kepha bahluleka. 41 UJesu waphendula wathi: O sizukulwane esingakholwayo nesiphambeneyo, koze kubenini nginani, nginibekezelela, na? yilethe lapha kindodana yakho. 42. Kuthe iseza, idemoni layiwisa phansi, layihlukumeza kakhulu; uJesu wamkhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamphulukisa umfana, wambuyisela kuyise. 43 Bethuka bonke ngamandla amakhulu kaNkulunkukulu. Besamangele bonke ngakho konke akwenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
He dealt with it all Luke 9:37-56 Wabhekana nakho konke Ignorance of basic spiritual concepts (i.e. Jesus’ need to suffer)44 "Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men." 45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying. Ukungazi ngesizinda sezinto zokomoya (okunguthi, kwakufanele ahlupheke)44 “Khwezani lawomazwi ezindlebeni zenu, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa ezandleni zabantu. 45 Kepha abakuzwisisanga lokhokusho, kwakusithekile kubo, ukuze bangakuqondi; besaba ukumbuza ngalokhokusho.
He dealt with it all Luke 9:37-56 Wabhekana nakho konke Squabbles and political dramas (i.e. Who would be the greatest in the kingdom ) 46 An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. 47 But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48 and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great." Ukungaboni ngasolinye nokubanga amandla (i.e. Ubani ozobamkhulu embusweni ) 46 Kwavela ukuzindlisana phakathi kwabo kokuthi ngubani ongahle abe mkhulu kubo. 47 Kuthe uJesu ebona ukuzindla kwenhliziyo yabo, wathabatha umntwana, wammisa phambi kwakhe, 48 wathi kubo Yilowo nalowo oyakwamukela lomntwana ngegama lami uyangamukela mina, ongamukela mina uyamamukela ongithumileyo; ngokuba omncinyane kini nonke nguye omkhulu.
He dealt with it all Luke 9:37-56 Wabhekana nakho konke Condemning attitudes (i.e. he did not “follow along with us”)49 John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us." 50 But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you." Ukusolwa komqondosimo (i.e. aka“hambi nathi”)49 UJohane waphendula wathi: “Nkosi sabona umuntu ekhipha amademoni ngegama lakho, samnqabela ngokuba engalandelani nathi”. 50 Kepha uJesu wathi kuye “ningamnqabeli, ngokuba ongamelene nani ungakini."
He dealt with it all Luke 9:37-56 Wabhekana nakho konke Hostile attitudes toward the lost (i.e. The Son’s of Thunder - wanted to call fire down) 51 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" 55 But he turned and rebuked them. 56 And they went on to another village. Umqondosimo omelelene nabalahlekile (i.e. amadodana okuduma – ayefuna ukubiza umlilo wehle) 51 Kwathi sezizakuphelela izinsuku zokwenyuswa kwakhe, wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema. 52 Wathuma izithunywa phambi kwakhe; zahamba, zangena emzini wamaSamariya ukuba zimlungisele. 53 Kepha awamamukelanga, ngokuba ubuso bakhe babubheke eJerusalema. 54 kuthe abafundi bakhe oJakobe noJohane sebekubonile lokho, bathi; Nkosi, uyathanda ukuba sibize umlilo wehle ezulwini, uwaqede, na? 55 Kepha waguquka, wabakhuza wathi: Anazi ukuthi ningabomoya muni. 56 Ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu ayizanga ukubhubhisa imiphefumulo yabantu kodwa ukuyisindisa; base beya komunye umuzi.
His Responses… Ukuphendula kwakhe… Jesus feeds, waters, guides, protects and cares for His sheep Psalm 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. UJesu uyondla, uyaphuzisa, uyahola, uyavikela uyanakekela izimvu Amahubo 23:1 Ihubo likaDavide. UJehova ungumalusi wami, angiyikuswela. 2 Uyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; uyangiyisa ngasemanzini okuphumula. 3 Ubuyisa umphefumulo wami; uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yegama lakhe. 4 Noma ngihamba esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angesabi okubi, ngokuba wena unami, intonga yakho nodondolo lwakho ziyangiduduza. 5 Ulungisa itafula phambi kwami ebusweni bezitha zami; ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha; indebe yami iyachichima. 6 Impela okuhle nomusa kuyakungilandela imihla yonke yokuphila kwami; ngiyakuhlala endlini kaJehova kuze kube phakade.
His Responses… Ukuphendula Kwakhe… Jesus lived with His sheep Jesus didn’t just check on the sheep occasionally but lived with them for 3 years! UJesu uphila nezimvu UJesu akenzanga ukuyoziqalaza izimvu ngaleyonkathi kepha wahlala nazo iminyaka emithantu!
His Responses… Ukuphendula Kwakhe… Jesus did not give up on His sheep He caused the disciples (sheep) to trust Him. (Remember Peter who denied Him 3 times). UJesu akaphelanga amandla ngezimvu zakhe Wenza abafundi (izimvu) ukuba bamethembe. (Khumbula uPetru wamphika izikhathi ezintathu).
His Responses… His Responses… Jesus provided an environment where He could give criticism that was accepted without ill feelings. Matt. 16:8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. UJesu wanikeza isimo la ungakwazi ukuveza ukugxeka kwakho kwamukeleke ngaphandle kokuba nomuzwa omubi. Mat. 16:8 Kepha ekwazi lokho uJesu wathi; nina bokukholwa okuncane, yini ukuba niphendulane nodwa ngokuthi kungokuba ningenazinkwa na? 9 Anikaqondi yini, futhi anizikhumbuli izinkwa eziyisihlanu zezinkulungwane eziyisihlanu nokuthi nabutha iziqabetho ezingaki na? 10 Nezinkwa eziyisikhombisa zezinkulungwane ezine nokuthi nabutha amaqoma amangaki na? 11 Aniqondi ngani ukuthi bengingakhulumi kini ngesinkwa na? Kepha xwayani imvubelo yabaFarisi nabaSadusi. 12 Khona baqonda ukuthi kashongo ukuba baxwaye imvubelo yezinkwa kepha isifundiso sabaFarisi nabaSadusi.

UJesu akaphelanga amandla ngezimvu zakhe UJesu akazange angakunaki ukungaphumeleli kwabo nokuziphatha kabi kwabo kepha wabasola wabakha.

UJesu akazange azidele izimvu zakhe Wasebenzisa ukuhluleka kwabo njengethuba lokufundisa Luk 9:48 wathi kubo Yilowo nalowo oyakwamukela lomntwana ngegama lami uyangamukela mina, ongamukela mina uyamamukela ongithumileyo; ngokuba omncinyane kini nonke nguye omkhulu."

I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. UJesu akazange azidele izimvu zakhe… UJesu wakuthathela kuye ukuba “abagcine” bezimisele Joh 17:12 Lapho ngisenabo ezweni, ngabagcina egameni lakho labo ongiphe bona, ngabalonda; akakho kubo owalahleka, kuphela indodana yokulahlwa, ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo. fulfilled.
