Umlingo KaKhisimusiIsampula
“Sihlanganiswe nguKristu”
Njengoba uKhisimusi usondela, sikhunjuzwa ngendaba ewumlingo yokuzalwa kukaJesu nethemba elilethayo. Sikhumbula izazi nabelusi abeza ukuvakashela iNkosi eyayisanda kuzalwa. Sibona ngeso lengqondo ingane ilele emkhombeni wezilwane nezilwane notshani yonke indawo. Lesi sigcawu sokuzalwa kuJesu siyisithombe esihle sabantu abaningi abehlukene behlanganiswa ngomuntu oyedwa.
Amadoda ahlakaniphileyo ayevela kwelinye izwe, abelusi abaphansi ababevela emadlelweni aseduze, uJosefa noMariya bevela kwelinye idolobha, izingelosi zihlabelela futhi zibabaza inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, ngisho nezilwane zonke zabona loMsindisi ozelwe emhlabeni. Ngasinye salezi zidalwa safika endaweni yesehlakalo ngendlela ehlukile futhi sasimesaba uNkulunkulu ngendlela ehlukile.
Lesi yisigcawu sobunye, sokukhazinyuliswa kukaNkulunkulu ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Futhi siyayazi yonke indaba—ukuthi uJesu wayezofa futhi avuswe futhi ngemva kwalokho asishiye noMoya oNgcwele ukuze asiqondise futhi asiqondise futhi asixhumanise noNkulunkulu.
Lena ingxenye ewumlingo ngempela kaKhisimusi. . . ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna sibe yingxenye yomzimba wakhe futhi sihlanganiswe naye kuze kube phakade. Kweyoku-1 Korinte 12, uPawulu ubhala ukuthi kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zezipho zomoya, inkonzo, nomsebenzi—kodwa uNkulunkulu oyedwa.
Ngamunye wethu uthola okuhlukile, kodwa siyingxenye yomzimba ofanayo, futhi lezo zipho zisebenzisa injongo efanayo. Ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi ucabangisise ngezipho zomoya oziphiwe nguMoya oNgcwele lokuthi ungazisebenzisa njani ukukhonza uNkulunkulu.
Cabanga futhi ngabantu abasemibuthanweni yakho nokuthi izipho zabo zomoya zihluke kanjani, kodwa bakhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa. Njengoba sikhuthazana futhi sihlanganisa lezi zipho, singase sizithole sisesimweni esifanayo nesokuzalwa kukaJesu—abantu abaningi abahlukahlukene abavela ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene abahlangene ndawonye ngenjabulo nokudumisa nokuzwana ukuze kudunyiswe uNkulunkulu uBaba wethu.
