Ukuza: Uhambo lukaKhisimusiIsampula

INkosi, uNkulunkulu, noMsindisi

NgokukaMathewu 2:11, izazi zilethela uJesu izipho zodumo: igolide, inhlaka yempepho nemure. Ubuwazi ukuthi lezi zipho zinokubaluleka okukhethekile kwiTestamente Elidala futhi ziveza Lowo ababeze ukuzomkhonza?

Igolide limele ubukhosi kumaHubo 72:15, kanti isipho segolide saqinisekisa uJesu njengeNkosi yamaKhosi. Impepho ihlobene nokudunyiswa kukaNkulunkulu kuEksodusi 30:34, kanti isipho senhlaka yempepho siyavuma ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu. KuEksodusi 30:22-25, imure yayisetshenziselwa ukugcoba abantu ngezinhloso ezikhethekile. Isikhathi sokuqala lapho uJesu ethola imure njengesipho kwakusekuzalweni kwakhe. Izikhathi zokugcina uJesu ayezonikwa ngazo imure zazisesiphambanweni nangesikhathi sokungcwatshwa kwakhe. Lesi sipho sikhomba enhlosweni ekhethekile yempilo kaJesu: Wayezokufa esiphambanweni ukusisindisa ezonweni zethu bese evuswa, anqobe ukufa.

Ivesi elikuMathewu 2 likhuluma ukuthi ngesikhathi izazi zibona uJesu, "zawa phansi zamkhulekela." Sikhonza uJesu njengeNkosi yethu ngoba "unalo lonke igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni" (uMathewu 28: 18-20). Sikhonza uJesu njengoNkulunkulu wethu ngoba “konke kwadalwa ngYe; ngaphandle kwakhe akubanga khona okudaliweyo ”(Johane 1: 3). Futhi sikhonza uJesu njengoMsindisi wethu ngoba “uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade” (Johane 3:16). Cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asebenzise le nkathi ye-Advent ukusondeza kuJesu ngokukhuleka, njengenkanyezi elethe izazi ukuthi zimkhonze.

Umthandazo: Baba, ngiyabonga ngokungiholela kuwe. Njengoba nje Usondeze izazi kuJesu, ngicela ungisondeze kuJesu kakhulu kunakuqala. Jesu, ngikukhonza njengeNkosi yami, uNkulunkulu wami, noMsindisi wami! Moya oNgcwele, ngisize ngiqondise abanye abantu abakude nawe ukuba basondele bakhonze uJesu.
