Máshihning Aspannan Keremet Isewi

Qudaydıń joqarı márhameti Onıń jaqsı xabarı bolǵan ájayıp xabarında kórinedi. Qudaydıń qudireti Onıń jaqsı xabarın gúnákarlarǵa jetkeriwde hám sol waqıtta gúnákarlar ishinde táwbe etkenlerdiń qutqarıwı ushın islewde (Ef. 1:18-2:10). Qudaydıń qudireti jaratılısta kórsetildi. Tez arada Ol, házirgi márhamet dáwiri tawsılǵannan keyin, Nuh payǵambardıń suw tasqınına uqsas hám kishirek kólemde Izrail tariyxındaǵı ayırım waqıyalardaǵı sıyaqlı dúnya júzilik húkimler seriyasında onı kórsetedi.

Búgin Qudaydıń qudireti insanga márhamet hám jaqsılıq penen islep, gúnákarlardı Qudaydıń Sózine isengenleri ushın táwbega alıp baradı (Rimliklerge 2:4). Qudaydıń Qutqarushı sıpatındaǵı háreketleri – adamlardı qutqarıw hám isengenlerde ájayıp bir nárse payda etiw – Onıń máńgilik maqsetine sáykes keledi (Ef. 3:8-10). Óz Sózi arqalı Quday qutqarıw haqqındaǵı jaqsı xabardı, Óz márhametiniń qudireti menen jetkeredi. Bul háreket Máshihning aspannan, Muqaddes Ruh arqalı, adamnıń júreginen isenim arqalı juwap payda etiw menen birge keledi. Bunday ájayıp iske mısal retinde Tarsuslı Sawldı (Galatiyalılarǵa 1:15-16), sonday-aq ózin óltirmekshi bolǵan Filippiyalı qamaqshını (Elshilerdiń isleri 16:27) kóriwge boladı. Rim nızamına kóre, eger tutqın qashıp ketse, qamaqshı óz ómiri menen juwapker edi. Onıń ornına, sol waqıtta ol qarańǵıda Pawludıń dawısın esitti hám onıń xabarın qabıl etti: «Rabbiy Isaǵa isen, sonda sen hám seniń úyiń qutqarılasız» (31-ayat NASB). Ol isendi hám qutqarıldı.

Qudaydıń Joqarı Márhameti hám Pawludıń Xızmeti

Muqaddes Ruhnıń bul jerge keliwinen (2:2-4) hám Rabbimizdiń qaytıp keliwine shekem (1 Tesalonikalılarǵa 4:16-17), hár kim táwbe etiwge (Elshilerdiń isleri 17:30) hám Qudayǵa iseniwge shaqırıladı. Onıń qutqarıw haqqındaǵı jaqsı xabarı barlıq adamlarǵa usınıladı hám onı isenim menen qabıl etken hár kimge payda beredi. Rabbimiz Isa Máshihning xochtaǵı isi tiykarında – Ol muqaddes hám ádalatlı Qudaydıń tolıq qanaatlanıwı ushın orınlaǵan – quwanıshlı xabar pútkil dúnyaǵa tarqaladı. Márhamet injili universal kólemge iye, al onıń bereketli nátiyjeleri jeke isenim arqalı alınadı (Rimliklerge 3:22; Ef. 2:8).

Rimliklerge kitabı pútkil insan náwbetiniń Quday aldında ayıplı ekenligin hám «buzılǵan» (1:28), yaǵnıy, tikleniw múmkinshiligisiz, ózin jaqsılaw múmkinshiligisiz ekenligin kórsetedi. Sudlıq hám moralıq kózqarastan, rasalar, milletler, yahudiyler yamasa basqa milletler arasında ayırmashılıq joq (10:12), «sebebi hámme gúna etti hám Qudaydıń dańqınan ayırıldı» (3:23). Hámme ayıplı dep járiyalandı, muqaddes hám ádalatlı Quday aldında ayıplı tur. Jalǵız ǵana Rabbimiz Isa Máshih istisna edi, Ol gúna bilmedi, gúna qılmadı hám Onıń ishinde gúna joq edi; Ol bizdiń húkimimizdi Óz ústine aldı (Galatiyalılarǵa 3:13; 1 Petrus 3:18). Keremet márhamet! Ha, Qudaydıń joqarı márhamet haqqındaǵı xabarı hámme isengenler ushın.

Barlıq isenbeytuǵınlar aldınnan ayıplı dep járiyalandı (Yuhanna 3:36), al Qudaydıń húkiminiń ámelge asırılıwı ele kútip tur (2 Petrus 3:9-10). Sol kún kelgende, qutqarıw ushın máńgilikke kesh boladı, sebebi táwbe etiw ushın barlıq múmkinshilikler hám qurallar joq boladı. Rabbiy Isa Máshih Qudaydıń sońǵı húkimin ámelge asırıw ushın «úlken aq taxtta» otıradı. Dúnyanıń Qutqarushısı Húkimdar hám Jazalawshı boladı. (Iltimas, bul jurnaldiń 11-betindegi Ashıw 20:11-15, Elshilerdiń isleri 10:42 hám 17:31-ayatlardı dıqqat penen oqıń. Eger bul nárseler ele de anıq bolmasa, Qudaydıń Sózin, ásirese Rimliklerge kitabın oqıń, Óziniń járdemin sorap, siz hám shańaraǵıńız ushın jaqsı xabardı qabıl etiw hám túsiniw ushın.)

Tez arada, Qudaydıń ádalatlı Húkimdarı húkimdi ámelge asıradı, biraq házir Ol Qudaydıń márhametiniń jaqsı xabarın usınıp tur, sonda siz qutqarılasız (Ef. 2:17). Aspandaǵı Rabbiy Isa Máshih bul maqsetke erisiw ushın islep tur.

Filippiyalı Qamaqxanadaǵı Waqıyalar – Qudaydıń Márhamettegi Keremet Azat Etetuǵın Kúshi

Elshilerdiń isleri 16-bóliminde oqıǵanımızday, Pawl hám Silasdıń ayaqları «aǵashqa» (24-ayat; sózbe-sóz, «aǵashqa») qıstırılǵan edi. Bul aǵash yamasa terek bizge xochtı esletedi, sebebi sol sóz Elshilerdiń isleri 5:30, 10:39 hám 13:29-ayatlarda qollanılǵan. Bálkim bul fakt olardıń fizikalıq, emotsional hám ruwxıy azapları menen birge, eki tutqınǵa Rabbiy hám Qutqarushısınıń xochta basdan keshirgenlerin esletken bolıwı múmkin. Qanday bolmasın, aspandaǵı Rabbiy olardı Óz Ruwı arqalı qollap-quwatladı (Evreylerge 2:17-18, 4:15-16-ayatlardı qarap kóriń).

Pawl hám Silas, ózleriniń awır azaplarında, Máshihke itibar qaratqan bolıwı kerek. Ol aspannan olardıń menen birge boldı. Bul olardıń júreklerin shirkewde tógip, minnetdarshılıq penen ózleriniń baylanıslılıǵın túsiniwge alıp keldi (1 Tesalonikalılarǵa 5:16-18-ayatlardı kóriń), sebebi yarım tún1 Pawl hám Silas shirkew etip, Qudaydı maqtaǵan edi. Sawldı qamaqqa alıw ushın túste kóringen Sol Bir – onı qutqarıp, Óziniń qurallarına aylandırǵan (Elshilerdiń isleri 9) – yarım tún waqtında Óz qullarına barlıq qıyınshılıqlarǵa qarsı haqıyqıy jeńimpaz bolıw ushın márhamet berip turǵan edi (sonday-aq Ayub 35:10; Zábúr 17:3, 42:8, 77:6, 119:62; Ishaya 26:9-ayatlardı kóriń).

Luka «birden» sózin Qudaydıń ilahiy háreketlerin kórsetiw ushın qollanǵan. Onıń anıq waqtında úlken jer silkiniwi boldı, ol qamaqxananiń tiykarların silkitti, barlıq esiklerdi ashtı hám barlıq tutqınlardıń baylanısların bosattı. Birneshe sóz benen (Elshilerdiń isleri 16:25-26), Luka aspandaǵı joqarı Rabbimiz tárepinen ámelge asırılǵan úlken iskerlikti súwretledi. «Ol hámmeniń ústinen, máńgilikke maqtalǵan Quday» (Rimliklerge 9:5) hám pútkil álemdi basqaradı. Bul detallar Máshihning adamlardı qullıqtan – shaytannıń, dúnyanıń, gúnanıń hám ólimniń kúshinen – azat etiw hám olardı qamaqta uslap turǵan hár qanday nárselerden azat etiw kúshin kórsetedi. Rabbimizdiń sol kúshi, perishteni qollanıp, Petrusdıń qamaqtan azat etiliwinde (Elshilerdiń isleri 12) hám basqasha túrde, Pawlǵa eki jıldan artıq tutqınlıqta ruwxıy erkinlik beriwde (28:30-31) islep turǵan edi. Filippide (Elshilerdiń isleri 16) bizdiń bereketli Rabbimiz Óziniń ájayıp hám azat etetuǵın kúshin kórsetti, bul tómendegi sózler menen kórsetilgen:

«Birden» – tek Elshilerdiń isleri 2:2, 16:26 hám 28:6-ayatlarda tabılǵan sóz, Onıń joqarı aralasıwın kórsetedi.

  • Bir «jer silkiniwi» arqalı – suw denesiniń yamasa jerdiń kúshli qozǵalısı yamasa silkiniwi, onıń teńseliwine sebep boladı; kúshlerdiń ózgerisin bildiredi, biraq Máshihning basqarıwı astında.
  • Bir «úlken» jer silkiniwi arqalı, islep turǵan ullı kúshke itibar qaratadı.2

Kóp Keremetler, Bári Bir Tún Ishinde, Úlken Quwanıshqa Alıp Keldi

Filippiyalı qamaqxanada (16:25-34) bir qatar keremetler boldı, sebebi Rabbiy aspannan islep turǵan edi. Olardıń ústinde oylanayıq, sebebi Muqaddes Kitapta aytılǵan: «Turıń hám Qudaydıń keremetlerin oylań» (Ayub 37:14).

Pawl hám Silas qattı urılıwlar nátiyjesindegi jaraqatları sebepli ájayıp awırıwlarǵa dush kelgen bolıwı kerek. Ayaqları aǵashqa qıstırılǵan halda, olar tún boyı tik turıwǵa májbúr bolǵan bolıwı múmkin. Biraq, olar shirkew etip, maqtaǵan edi (Elshilerdiń isleri 16:25): bul Qudaydıń márhametiniń keremeti.

  • Basqa tutqınlardıń, ádette basqa adamlardıń máselelerine itibar bermeytuǵınlardıń, sol saatta da tıńlap turǵanı da bir keremet edi (25-ayat).
  • A great earthquake shook the prison’s foundation (v.26), but the building did not collapse! This can be called a miracle of God’s providence, and it showed His control.
  • All the prison doors were opened during the earthquake (v.26) – another miraculous fact.
  • Every prisoner’s bonds or chains were loosed (v.26); surely, this was an even greater miracle.
  • No one escaped: unbelievable! Their bonds were loosed and all the doors opened, yet they stayed (v.28). This was a miracle of a different order – perhaps a result of the praying and singing.
  • The jailor,3 who at first wanted to kill himself with his sword, was converted – a miraculous work. Now he was saved, in more than one way, together with those in his house who believed (vv.27-34; see ). We do not know whether this includes the other prisoners who had listened (), but we know that “you and your house” represents a principle in God’s dealings.
  • All those who were in the jailor’s house heard the word of the Lord and responded in faith (; ). They put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and were baptized (). This miracle showed the power of the Word linked with Christ’s authority in heaven, as it demonstrated God’s power acting through His Word; so they believed God (v.34).
  • Changed lives confirmed the inward change that had taken place by faith. This miracle of a transformed person became evident in the fact that the jailor cared for Paul and Silas, washing their stripes, preparing a meal for them during the night, and rejoicing with them (v.34).
  • The joy of the new believers (v.34) was another proof of true faith. This implies a response from the heart towards God, fellowship among believers and communion with God and Christ. All this was worked through the miraculous power of the Lord Jesus and by the Holy Spirit. Praise God!

Joy And Fellowship – Linked With The House

The themes of “joy” and “fellowship” are like precious threads woven through Luke’s writings (Luke and Acts), often linked to the concept of a house or household. Such joy and fellowship accompanied the salvation that came to several households, including those of Zacchaeus () and Cornelius (), because of faith. In Philippi, in addition to the jailor, this was true of Lydia who opened her house (,40). The New Testament records many examples of such households, which often became places for the believers to meet (). Think of Aquila and Priscilla (; ), Stephanas (), Crispus (), Philemon and Apphia (), Nymphas () and Onesiphorus ().

Luke described the joy in the jailor’s home () using the same verb – “to rejoice greatly” (Greek: agalliá) – that he used for the Lord’s resurrection (, quoting Psalms 16). John used it of Abraham’s joy as he was looking forward to that special day of joy for the Lord (). Such joy was Mary’s portion even before Christ was born, when she met Elizabeth and magnified the Lord (). Later, Peter used this verb about the believers who experience sufferings because of their faithfulness (), yet rejoiced, as did the Lord (). When Christ was rejected in His ministry among His people, He rejoiced and praised the Father, submitting to His sovereign plans and love (). John used the same verb of the Jews who rejoiced in John the Baptist, although this was only for a time (), for they did not accept God’s plans. However, in heaven there will be great joy linked with the marriage of the Lamb () – a joy lasting forever. Will you be there?

The Doors Are Further Opened, And More Doors Are Opened

The opened prison doors () point to a wonderful theme in Scripture: God opens doors. Another striking example of this was in Troas when Paul, acting in fellowship with the Lord, preached the gospel of Christ (). Later, during his first Roman captivity, Paul asked God to open to him and Timothy “a door for the word” to be able “to speak forth the mystery of Christ” (). From other Scriptures we know that this prayer was answered, confirming Paul’s dependence on the Lord in heaven and his key-objective; both are important for us today.

In His message to Philadelphia (), the Lord Jesus in heaven presented Himself as the One who is holy and true, who will never compromise God’s standards of holiness and truth. He said of Himself that He “has the key of David ... opens and no one will shut, and ... shuts and no one opens,” and that He set before the believers of Philadelphia “an opened door which no one can shut” (vv.7-8). How reassuring, despite their little power! This was Christ’s answer to Philadelphia’s commitment, as seen in “My word” kept and “My name” not denied (v.8). May we follow such an example until He comes.

Released From Prison

Before long the authorities in Philippi came to their senses and wanted Paul and Silas to be released from prison and go “in peace” (). Why did Paul not accept this message just to leave? On other occasions he had been beaten, stoned or abused despite his Roman citizenship, and he had not protested. Consider this: If Paul would have left Philippi in secret, the new believers there might have been looked at by the other citizens as associated with a bunch of criminals. The public escort that Paul requested alerted the community to the fact that the Christians were on good terms with the authorities an important theme in Acts. Paul and Silas could have accused the magistrates who had transgressed Roman law, but these servants of the Lord decided not to do so (vv.37-38).

The New Testimony Continues

The new believers had benefited from Paul’s ministry and would stay in touch with him throughout the rest of his life (). The local authorities might have benefited as well, but they felt quite uneasy about the presence of Paul and Silas and requested them to leave (; see ). Paul and Silas did depart, but only after visiting Lydia’s household and spending some time with the believers to exhort or encourage them.

After this, the “we” of Acts 16 changed to a report with “they” in the next chapter. We may conclude from this that Luke stayed in Philippi, possibly until the latter part of Paul’s third journey (). From we learn that several assemblies came into existence in Macedonia, some of them probably because of Luke’s labors, at least in part. We suggest that the support Paul received later from Philippi was partly because his co-worker Luke had remained in Macedonia (). Yet, ultimately, this was yet another display of God’s grace and power.

ENDNOTES

  1. Paul preached the Word until midnight in Troas (). Some people have a superstition about the enemy working at midnight, but in Acts we see Christ is victorious even at that very hour!
  2. Quite often Luke used the Greek word méga, meaning “great” or “loud”: the great earthquake in Philippi (); Paul called out with a loud voice to the jailor not to harm himself (v.28).
  3. A jailor in a Roman colony usually was a retired army officer, around 50 years old. The people in his house would include his wife if he was married, teenage or adult children and his servants.
