"Kristu: Akusona Isibongo"
Igama. Isibongo. Emphakathini wethu waseNtshonalanga, sijwayele le ndlela yokubhala igama lomuntu.
Njengoba sisondela kuKhisimusi, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi abazali bakaJesu kwakungebona uJosefa noMariya Kristu. Okukhulu ukudumala kwezingane zami (ezihlale zibuza lokhu), uKristu akusona isibongo sikaJesu. Ukristu uyingxenye ebaluleke ngokufanayo yegama lakhe—igama elikhethekile kuye.
Ujesu wayengumuntu ngokugcwele—umuntu onemizwa, izifiso, nezidingo, njengami nawe. Uma uke wakhungatheka ngokuzama ukuzihlanganisa noNkulunkulu, yazi nje ukuthi wenza konke okusemandleni ukuze azihlanganise nawe. Ujesu waseNazaretha wayengumnikelo kaNkulunkulu wozwela futhi uwumnikelo omkhulu.
Nokho, uKristu ubaluleke ngokufanayo. Igama elithi “Kristu” livela egameni lesiGreki elithi “Christos,” elisho “okhethiweyo” noma “ogcotshiweyo.” Ngokuphindaphindiwe eTestamenteni Elidala, kwakukhona izinkomba zokuza kukaMesiya noma uKristu ozayo owayengeke agcotshwe inkosi yasemhlabeni. Kunalokho, lo owayezofika wayeyogcotshwa iNkosi yasezulwini, futhi, ngenxa yalokho, wayeyoba uKristu.
Njengoba ufunda kweyoku-1 IziKronike 17:11–14, lo Kristu owaprofethwayo wayeyovela kuNkulunkulu “ukuzomisa umbuso wakhe” futhi “uyomisa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube phakade.”
Ngokuka-Isaya 9:6, wayeyoba ‘uMeluleki Omangalisayo, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uYise ongunaphakade, iNkosi yokuthula. Nakuba engezanga ngendlela ebesicabanga ukuthi uzofika ngayo, wafika. Esothandweni, ezisongwe ngezingubo, waqhamuka.
Lapho eseyindoda, waqala ukumema abanye ukuba bamlandele. Futhi uyasimema nathi. KuJohane 1:41, u-Andreya, omunye wabalandeli bakhe bokuqala, wakusho kahle kumfowabo uSimoni:
“Simtholile uMesiya” (okungukuthi, uKristu).
Njengoba silindele uKhisimusi, khumbula ukuthi asimane nje silindele ukugujwa komntwana ozelwe. Sigubha uKristu, ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu, isiqinisekiso sokuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lihle, nesiqiniseko sokuthi usengamethemba. Bonga uNkulunkulu namuhla ngoJesu, indoda, kanye noKristu, umhlengi othunyelwe evela kuNkulunkulu. Phela, njengoba nje u-Andreya amthola, simtholile uMesiya (okungukuthi, uKristu)!
