Bybelse wysheid

DR. ANNES NEL

Hebreërs 4:12: “Want die woord van God is lewend en kragtig.”

Johannes Calvyn skryf dat God die prediking van sy Woord gekies het om sy genade aan ons te skenk. Christus is nie meer fisies op aarde teenwoordig nie, maar Hy bly by ons deur die verkondiging van die Woord. Mense wat hierdie prediking weerstaan, is rebelle. Hul verset maak hulle vyande van God se volk. Hulle ontwrig die goddelike orde, verdraai die waarheid, blus die Gees uit, sny hulself af van die liggaam van Christus en voer oorlog teen God. Sonder die prediking van die Woord is daar net vernietiging.

Die skrywer van Hebreërs sê dat ons vandag na God se boodskap moet luister. Hy verwys nie na die Bybel soos ons dit vandag ken nie. Op daardie tydstip het die Bybel nog nie bestaan nie. Hy verwys bloot na die woord wat gepreek is. Baie mense in die verlede het nie na hierdie prediking geluister nie (4:2,6). As gevolg van hulle rebellie en ongeloof het hulle die belofte van rus gemis en is vernietiging (3:8,13,15,16, 19; 4:11). Hy gebruik Psalm 95 om sy lesers aan hierdie feit te herinner.

Dieselfde gevaar bestaan vandag. Mense wat uit Egipte verlos is, het hulle harte teen God verhard. Dit is verstommend dat mense wat deur Christus se offer verlos is, ook in opstand teen sy Woord kom. Is jy een van hulle?
