Uhlelo Lwamahhala Lokufunda nokuthandaza okuhlobene ne NgokukaLuka 2:20

Ukucabanga ngezehlakalo zangoLwesihlanu LwePhasika ezilandiswa ngabalingiswa bezindaba zokuzalwa kukaJesu. Ukuhlola okucabangayo kwesimangaliso sokuzalwa kukaJesu kanye nomhlatshelo wokubethelwa esiphambanweni.

Ithemba, uthando, ukuthula, intokozo. Lawamagama akhulunywa kakhulu ngesikhathi samaholide, kodwa ingabe siyakhumbula ukuthi yingani?  Indaba kaKhisimuzi yindaba yokuthi uNkulunkulu wangenela kanjani kumlando ngokuzwela kukaJesu. Izimpilo zika Mariya noJosefa, nabelusi zaguqulwa kakhulu ngalesisenzo. Bathola ithemba, uthando, ukuthula, kanye nentokozo; masikhumbule ndawonye ukuthi nathi singkuthola kanjani lokhu ngoJesu. 

Yonke indaba enhle inenguquko- yesikhathi esingalindelekile esishintsha yonke into. Enye yezinto ezinkulu ezingaqondakali eBhayibhelini indaba kaKhisimusi. Ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ezizayo, sizohlola ukuthi lo mcimbi owodwa uwuguqule kanjani umhlaba nokuthi ungayishintsha kanjani impilo yakho namuhla.

Kwabaningi, amaholidi ayisikhathi senjabulo enkulu...kodwa kwenzekani lapho amaholide engasemnandi futhi eba inselele ngenxa yosizi olujulile noma ukulahlekelwa? Lolu hlelo lokufunda olukhethekile luzosiza labo abasosizini ukuthi bathole induduzo nethemba kumaholidi, futhi lutshengise indlela yokwenza inkathi yamaholide enenjongo nakuba kunesimo sosizi olujulile.

Kwabanye, isikhathi sikaKhisimusi singagcwala usizi, ubunzima, ubuhlungu, nokuhlukana. Nokho uKhisimusi ugubha ukuthi uNkulunkulu waba umuntu futhi wangena phakathi nezwe lethu elilimazayo, elithukuthele, elinesiphithiphithi ukuze asilethele ukuthula—ukuthula phakathi kwabantu futhi, okubaluleke nakakhulu, ukuthula noNkulunkulu. Hlanganyela nathi kulesi sikhathi seAdvent sibheke ukuthula okulethwa uKristu.

Kuyisikhathi sonyaka esimangalisayo kakhulu, kodwa sizithola simatasa ngamaholidi. KuloKhisimusi, kunganjani uma sibuyisa lesimanga? Kule pulani yeBhayibheli yezinsuku ezinhlanu ehambisana nochungechunge lukaMfundisi Craig Groeschel, Isipho, sizothola ukuthi izipho ezintathu izazi ezazinika uJesu, zingasiholela kanjani endaweni yesimanga nendumiso namhlanje.

Ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi esiminyene, iningi lethu lizwa ingcindezi nokukhathazeka ebudlelwaneni bemindeni, ingcindezi yezezimali, izinqumo ezisheshayo, kanye nalokho okulindelwe okudumazayo. Ngakho-ke qhubeka. Adonse umoya. Qala lolu hlelo lweLife.Church Bible futhi ubone ukuthi isisindo esizizwayo kungaba yinto uNkulunkulu angakaze asicele ukuthi siyithwale. Kuthiwani ngokuyeka umthwalo? Ake sikhanyise ukukhanya.

UKhisimusi kufanele ube yinkathi yentokozo — kodwa eqinisweni yini intokozo futhi uyikhetha kanjani uma umhlaba ugcwaliswe ubuhlungu nobunzima? Thola ukuthi “intokozo emhlabeni” eqinisweni isho ukuthini ngokujula endabeni kaKhisimusi, ngalesisipesheli sepulani kaKhisimusi sezinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Indaba kaKhisimusi iyisimangaliso emva kwesinye. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi izincazelo ziiyajwayeleka ize ilahlekelwe wumthelela. Lemikhuleko yokuzindla emifushane ikusiza ngokuthi uhlale uzinze ezenzakalweni ezingalindelekile nezibalulekile emlandweni: ukuthi uNkulunkulu yena siqu waba ngomunye wethu. Umthandazo ngamunye ubhalwe ngu David Mathis, inhloko yomdidiyeli kwa desiringGod.org ongumfundisi e Cities Church e Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Kubuseka sengathi sonke sidinga ukwangana okuhle, ukuxhumana kwangempela, futhi nokugubha okuthile okuthokozisayo njengamanje. Umkhuleko wethu ukuthi lenkonzo yokuzifnikela ezayo izokunikeza wena nomndeni wakho indlela yokuxhumana, ufunde ngendaba yangempela kaKhisimuzi, futhi ugubhe ukuzalwa kukaJesu ngamasiko amasha, izindaba zesikhathi sokudla, izingxoxo zokulala, futhi nemisenbenzi yomndeni. Siyethemba kuloKhisimuzi "ukwanga" kuzoletha imicabango emihle ekhaya lakho kulesizini! ezayo!

Sonke sifuna ukukholelwa ukuthi kukhona okungcono okuzayo. Futhi uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi sidinga okungaphezu kwezipho ezibekwa ngaphansi kwesihlahla ukuze sithole injabulo. Esikudingayo ithemba. Yenziwe yi-NewSpring Church, lolu hlelo luzokusiza ukuthi uthole amandla ethemba nokuthi luwushintsha kanjani umbono wethu ngayo yonke into ezimpilweni zethu.

Lesi sifundo sihlanganisa izindaba ezine ezivela kuMathewu noLuka. Sifunda icebo likaNkulunkulu lokuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu, sizwe nokuthi kwakunjani ukuba khona kule micimbi. Indlela yemibuzo nezimpendulo ingasetshenziselwa ukukhuleka kwemindeni, ingxoxo yeqembu, nokuzifundela.
