Umlingo KaKhisimusiIsampula
"Uzelwe Ungenalutho"
Ekugcineni selufikile. . . Usuku lukaKhisimusi! Kunomlingo okhethekile mayelana nalokhu okukhethekile kakhulu kwezinsuku, akunjalo? Kungani kunjalo? Ingabe kungenxa yazo zonke izipho, imihlobiso, ukudla, nemibuthano yabangane nemindeni? Yebo, kodwa kuningi kakhulu. . .
Kungenxa yokuthi namuhla, emhlabeni wonke, sigubha ukuzalwa koMsindisi!
Ngokuka-Isaya 9:6-7, umuntu angacabanga ukuthi umprofethi wayebikezela ukuzalwa kwenkosi yasemhlabeni, egcwele imigido, imibukiso, namadili! Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayenezinhlelo ezahlukene. UJesu, uMesiya, wayengeke azalwe ngokugujwa kweqhawe. Wayezozalwa enguziro. Akazalwanga ngengcebo, amandla noma amalungelo. Akazange azalelwa ngisho endlini, kodwa esibayeni, ezungezwe imfuyo, kumfana osemusha ongashadile. Akazalwanga njengenkosi.
Isaya 53:2-3 : “Wayengenabuhle nobukhosi bokusisondeza kuye, engenalutho ebusweni bakhe ukuba simfise. Wadelelwa futhi wenqatshwa isintu, umuntu wokuhlupheka, nojwayele ubuhlungu. Njengomuntu abantu abamfihlela ubuso babo, wadelelwa, futhi sambukela phansi.”
Hhayi iqhawe. umuntu onguziro. Kodwa lokho kwakuwukukhazimula kwesipho esikhulu sikaNkulunkulu kithi: ubuhle beqiniso boMsindisi wethu, amandla, nenjongo yakhe kwakuyobonakala ngokufundisa kwakhe, ububele, uthando, futhi, ekugcineni, nomhlatshelo wakhe.
UKristu weza futhi waba khona emhlabeni ngezindlela eziphansi ukuze sizibonele mathupha injabulo, izinhlungu, izinkanuko, nosizi. Kumbeka enkundleni yokudlala ngokulingana ngamunye wethu.
Ngakho, namuhla, sigubha ukuzalwa kweNkosi—kodwa hhayi noma iyiphi inkosi. INkosi yamaKhosi, ekwazi ngempela ukuqonda injabulo yethu enkulu nobuhlungu obujulile. Kukhona okungitshelayo ukuthi namuhla, ubhekene nenye yaleyo mizwa.
Namuhla ingase igcwale injabulo. Noma namuhla kungase kube usuku olunzima kakhulu lonyaka. Kodwa emehlweni kaYihlo osezulwini, awuyena uziro futhi awusoze waba nguye. Ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu oyigugu, othandekayo nofunwayo, futhi wadalwa ngomfanekiso wakhe. UYIsipho emehlweni akhe, futhi ngithandazela ukuba uthole induduzo kulelo qiniso.
Ukuthula kukaKristu makube nawe namuhla, noKhisimuzi Omuhle!
