Law aur Nurture

Essay

Discipleship person ki condition dekhne se shuru hoti hai. Jin logon ko hum lead karna chahte hain, woh mature aur responsible sheep ho sakte hain. Lekin jinko Parmeshwar actually humein entrust karte hain, woh young lambs, wounded believers, ya aise log ho sakte hain jo abhi khud firmly stand nahi kar sakte. Shepherd sirf apni pasand ki sheep choose nahi karta. Shepherd Yeshu ke entrust kiye logon ko receive karta hai aur unki condition ke hisaab se care karta hai.

John 21 mein Yeshu Peter se kehte hain: mere lambs ko feed karo, mere sheep ko tend karo, mere sheep ko feed karo. Yeh sirf repetition nahi. Yahan discernment hai. Lamb aur mature sheep ko same care nahi chahiye. Kuch logon ko pehle nourishment aur safety chahiye. Dusron ko direction, responsibility aur guidance chahiye.

Agar hum lamb par bahut jaldi strong training push kar dein, wound aur deep ho sakta hai. Jab faith abhi young ho, person ki sense of self unstable ho, aur loved hone ka experience weak ho, to first language yeh ho sakti hai: tum achcha kar rahe ho, tum theek ho, tum loved ho. Healthy tareeke se training receive karne se pehle person ko enough love receive karna padta hai.

Dusri taraf, agar hum mature sheep ko sirf feed karte rahein, growth ruk sakti hai. Mature sheep ko responsibility chahiye. Woh move karte, serve karte, aur entrust ki gayi cheez carry karte hue grow karte hain. Shepherding ka matlab sabko same baat kehna nahi. Matlab stage aur need ke hisaab se love karna aur form karna hai.

Yeh principle churches ko samajhne mein bhi help karta hai. Kuch churches restoration ki places ho sakti hain, kuch foundational nurture par focus kar sakti hain, aur kuch mature coworkers raise kar sakti hain. Kisi church ko jaldi judge nahi karna chahiye kyunki woh har role perfectly fulfill nahi karti. Body of Christ mein different parts different assignments carry karte hain.

Law aur gospel ko bhi isi discernment ke saath samajhna hai. Mosaic covenant aur new covenant same tareeke se operate nahi karte. Jab hum kehte hain ki Yeshu ne law fulfill kiya, iska matlab yeh nahi ki ab hum Old Testament ke har institution aur ordinance ko same form mein repeat karte hain. Iska matlab hai ki law jis purpose ki taraf point kar raha tha, woh Christ mein fulfill ho gaya.

Sabse clear example sacrifice hai. Old Testament sacrifices repeat hote the, lekin Yeshu ka cross once-for-all sacrifice hai. New covenant people animal sacrifices par wapas nahi ja sakte. Temple bhi Christ mein change hota hai. Yeshu true temple hain, aur Christ mein church aur believers ab woh jagah hain jahan Parmeshwar ki presence reveal hoti hai.

Iska matlab yeh nahi ki law ki koi value nahi. Law Parmeshwar ki holiness reveal karta hai, sin expose karta hai, aur dikhata hai ki human beings apne aap ko righteous nahi bana sakte. Law mirror ki tarah hai. Woh dikha sakta hai ki kya dirty hai. Lekin mirror person ko wash nahi kar sakta. Cleanse karne aur life dene ki power gospel, Pavitra Atma, aur Parmeshwar ke diye hue new life mein hai.

Tithing ko bhi isi structure ke andar discern karna hai. Old Testament mein tithe temple, Levites, aur Israel ke religious-national structure se connected tha. New covenant mein voluntary giving aur stewardship zyada central ho jaate hain. Iska matlab tithing ko outright reject karna ya teach karne wali churches ko criticize karna nahi.

Kuch logon ke liye tithing faith ki basic training ki tarah kaam kar sakti hai. Jab koi seekh raha hai ki sab cheezon ka owner Parmeshwar hai, to clear practice help kar sakti hai. Lekin mature believer already is conviction ke saath jee sakta hai ki sab kuch Parmeshwar ka hai, aur simple minimum se bahut aage give, share aur devote kar sakta hai. Aise person ko sirf basic rule-keeping ki language nahi, deeper stewardship aur calling ki language chahiye.

Aakhir mein law aur nurture humein gospel ki structure aur person ke stage ko saath hold karna sikhate hain. Lambs ko love aur nourishment chahiye. Growing sheep ko direction aur responsibility chahiye. Mature coworkers ko deeper mission aur freedom chahiye. Law ka benefit hai, par life gospel mein hai. Shepherd ko gospel ke andar discern, feed, tend aur build karna hai.

Content Notes

1. Shepherd sirf pasand ki sheep choose nahi karta

Parmeshwar jinko entrust karte hain, woh mature, reliable ya easy to lead na hon. Woh young lambs, wounded believers, ya long care chahne wale log ho sakte hain. Shepherding Yeshu ke entrust kiye logon ko mission ke roop mein receive karne se shuru hoti hai.

2. John 21 different kinds of care dikhata hai

Yeshu lambs ko feed karne, sheep ko shepherd karne, aur sheep ko feed karne ki baat karte hain. Difference matter karta hai. Har person ko same moment par same care nahi chahiye.

3. Lambs ko heavy responsibility se pehle love aur feeding chahiye

New believers, wounded log, aur dependent souls ko agar immediately discipline ya performance mein press kiya jaaye to damage ho sakta hai. Unhe heavier training bear karne se pehle stability, safety, nourishment aur loved hone ka experience chahiye.

4. Encouragement serious pastoral act ho sakta hai

Jiski identity fragile hai, uske liye tum achcha kar rahe ho ya tum loved ho jaisi simple baatein shallow nahi. Correction ya responsibility receive karne se pehle yeh inner safety de sakti hain.

5. Mature sheep ko direction aur responsibility chahiye

Kuch believers responsibility entrust hone par grow karte hain. Unhe endless feed karna bina direction, mission ya responsibility diye unhe rok sakta hai. Mature sheep ko chalna, serve karna aur kaam mein participate karna chahiye.

6. Pastoral discernment stage ke hisaab se care karna hai

Kuch logon ko love chahiye, kuch ko training, kuch ko mission. Sabko same treat karna fair lag sakta hai, par aksar person ki actual condition ignore karta hai. Shepherding flexible discernment maangti hai.

7. Different churches different roles carry kar sakti hain

Kuch churches restoration ki places hoti hain, kuch teaching aur growth ki, aur kuch mature partnership ki communities. Ek church har role equally carry na kare. Carelessly judge karne se better hai discern karna.

8. Mosaic covenant aur new covenant alag tareeke se work karte hain

Yeshu ne law fulfill kiya, par iska matlab yeh nahi ki believers ab har Old Testament command ko old structure mein repeat karein. Fulfillment ka matlab hai law ka purpose Christ mein apne goal tak pahunch gaya.

9. Sacrifice Yeshu mein complete hua

Old Testament sacrifices baar baar repeat hote the. Yeshu ka cross once-for-all hai. Christ ke baad animal sacrifice par wapas jaana uske blood ki sufficiency ko dishonor karega.

10. Temple Christ aur uske body mein re-centered hai

Old Testament worship temple ke around centered tha, par new covenant Christ par centered hai. Yeshu true temple hain, aur unmein believers Parmeshwar ka living temple hain. Parmeshwar ki presence ab ek building tak confined nahi.

11. Righteousness faith par grounded hai, external rule-keeping par nahi

Old Testament ke many regulations Israel ke religious aur national structure se belong karte the. New covenant mein righteousness ka standard Christ par faith hai, aur true transformation Pavitra Atma ke inward work se aata hai.

12. Law ka real benefit abhi bhi hai

Yeh kehna overreaction hoga ki law worthless hai. Law sin reveal karta hai, Parmeshwar ki holiness dikhata hai, aur sikhata hai ki hum apne aap ko righteous nahi bana sakte. Yeh human condition ke baare mein clarity deta hai.

13. Law mirror hai, cleanse karne ki power nahi

Mirror dirt dikhata hai, par face wash nahi karta. Law sin expose karta hai, par life, cleansing aur transformation gospel, Spirit, aur Christ mein diye gaye new life se aate hain.

14. Tithing ko New Covenant ke through samajhna hai

Old Testament tithe temple, Levites aur Israel ke covenant structure se connected tha. New covenant mein voluntary giving, stewardship aur joyful dedication foreground mein aate hain. Yeh tithing ka rejection nahi, balki clearer framework hai.

15. Mature believers ko stewardship ki broader language chahiye

Kuch logon ke liye tithe important basic discipline hai. Lekin mature believers samajh sakte hain ki unke paas sab kuch Parmeshwar ka hai. Unhe mission, generosity, stewardship aur full dedication ki language chahiye, sirf beginner rule nahi.

16. Ministers ko logon ke many stages ke liye ready hona hai

Parmeshwar unborn-like lambs, young lambs, growing sheep, ya mature coworkers entrust kar sakte hain. Minister sirf ek approach prepare nahi kar sakta. Shepherding person ke stage ke hisaab se feed, heal, guide, train aur entrust karne ki ability maangti hai.

17. Law ka benefit aur gospel ki life saath belong karte hain

Law sin reveal karne aur Parmeshwar ki will discern karne mein help karta hai, par apne aap life nahi deta. Gospel life deta hai, Spirit logon ko change karta hai, aur new covenant inner transformation mein bulata hai. Healthy ministry dono ko clearly hold karti hai.
