Ithemba Lilindele Okungcono Kakhulu Okuseza
Akekho noyedwa wethu owake wavuka wacabanga, “Ngithemba ukuthi ngizoba nosuku olubi namuhla.” Singase silindele ukuba nosuku olubi noma sikhathazeke ngokuba nosuku olubi, kodwa le mizwa ayilona ithemba. Ithemba ukukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenzela zonke izinto ukuze kuzuze thina.
NgokukaLuka 1:39-56, uMariya ubhala iculo ngezinto ezimangalisayo uNkulunkulu azenzile nasazozenza, elindele ukuthi okuhle kakhulu kuseza. Ubhala lokhu ngemva kokuvakashela u-Elisabethe, lowo uNkulunkulu amthembisa ukuthi wayeyokhulelwa lapho esegugile. Ingoma kaMariya ayilona ithemba eliyimpumputhe, kodwa ingoma yowesifazane onethemba.
Kunomehluko phakathi kokuba nethemba nokuba nesifiso. Ukufisa umcabango onethemba ongadingi senzo; ithemba limayelana nokuthembana. Ukufisa isitolo sibe no-ayisikhilimu owuthandayo uma ufika khona kuwumcabango nje. Ithemba liya phambili, ukufunda kusesitokweni, bese uthemba umphathi ukuthi akubeke eceleni. Ithemba lethu liyigugu kuphela njengomuntu noma into esiyibeka kuyo.
UNkulunkulu akanakuqamba amanga, ngakho lapho enza isithembiso singaqiniseka ukuthi sizogcwaliseka. Ukuphila kukaMariya kwakungelula ngaso sonke isikhathi. Wayesezoba intombi ekhulelwe, engashadile. Wayengazi ukuthi eminyakeni engu-33 kamuva, wayezobona ukubethelwa kwendodana yakhe. Futhi lapho uJesu efa, uMariya wayengazi ukuthi wayeyobuya aphile. Kodwa ukubona ukwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu esikhathini esidlule yikho okwamnika ithemba lokuthi kungakhathaleki ukuthi izimo zakhe zinjani, angabeka ithemba lakhe kuYe. Yilokho okusinika ithemba futhi.
Asigcini nje ngokuba nethemba lokuthi okuhle kuseza. NjengoMariya, singaba nethemba lokuthi okuhle kuseza ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu uthi kunjalo, futhi uyaligcina izwi laKhe.
Thandaza:
Jesu, ngiyabonga ngokunginika ithemba njengehange lomphefumulo wami. Ungumenzi wesithembiso nomgcini wesithembiso. Ngisize ngikukhumbule lokho namuhla.
Zindla:
Ingabe unenkinga yokukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzokwenza lokho athi uzokwenza? Kungani noma kungani kungenjalo?
