Izingoma: Inkonzo kaKhisimusiIsampula
O Idolobha elincane laseBetlehema
O muzi omncane waseBetlehema, Yeka ukuthi kusalokhu sikubona ulele...
Ngaphezu kokulala kwakho okujulile nokungenamaphupho, Izinkanyezi ezithule zidlula
Nokho ezitaladini zakho ezimnyama kuyakhanya, Ukukhanya okuphakade
Amathemba novalo lweminyaka yonke, Kuhlangatshezwana nawe kulobubusuku
IBhetlehema kwakuyidolobha elalibhekwa njengelincane futhi lingabalulekile. UMika 5 uchaza iBetlehema ngokuthi “….lincane phakathi kwezizwe zakwaJuda.” Nokho uMika waqhubeka wathi “kuwe kuyakungiphumela oyakuba ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli.” Ngokuqinisekile, uJesu wazalelwa eBhetlehema eminyakeni engaba ngu-700 kamuva.
Ukubaluleka kweBetlehema engabalulekile akunakubukelwa phansi. UNkulunkulu uyathanda ukusebenza ngezindlela ezimangalisayo ngokusebenzisa okungalindelekile nokunganakwa. Kulula ngathi sonke ukuzizwa singabalulekile futhi singanakiwe, kodwa yilolo kanye uhlobo lomuntu uNkulunkulu azolusebenzisa. Cabanga ngezindlela ezingapheli uNkulunkulu angakusebenzisa ngazo uma uzinikela entandweni Yakhe.
Empeleni iBhetlehema lalinokubaluleka okuthile ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaJesu. Phakathi kwezinye izinto kwakuyindawo yokuzalwa kukaDavide, iqhawe nenkosi enkulu yeTestamente Elidala yakwa-Israyeli. Nokho, lesi futhi ngesinye isibonelo sobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu obumangalisayo. UDavide wayeyindodana kaJese ewuthunjana, owayembheka njengongenakubalwa emadodaneni akhe ukuba abe inkosi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wakubona konke lokho futhi wamgcoba njengombusi olandelayo wakwa-Israyeli. Futhi, uNkulunkulu wayesebenza ngezindlela ezingaphandle kokuhlakanipha okujwayelekile komuntu.
Sivame ukubona ukuphila nezimo zethu ngombono owenziwe umuntu. Uma sesibonile ukuthi iNkosi isebenza ngezindlela ezingaqondakali ezingaphezulu kakhulu kwezethu, sizobe sesikulungele ukuthi asisebenzise ngendlela ethokozisayo.
Yebo akukho okubaluleke ukwedlula ukuzalwa, ukuphila, ukufa, nokuvuka kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. Yeka ukuthi akunakwenzeka kanjani ukuthi kuqale ubusuku obubodwa obunokuthula, edolobheni elizolile, elinokuthula. “Ukukhanya okuphakade”, “amathemba nokwesaba kwayo yonke iminyaka” konke kwaqala “…eDolobheni Elincane laseBetlehema.”
Imibuzo:
Ubone kanjani uNkulunkulu esebenzisa abantu ababonakala bengelutho nezehlakalo empilweni yakho noma ezimpilweni zabanye?
Ingabe wake wazizwa ushaywe indiva? Lokho kube namuphi umphumela kuwe?
Isiphi isinyathelo oyosithatha ukuze uvumele uNkulunkulu akusebenzise ngendlela ephawulekayo?
