Indodana kaDavide

Umtshela kanjani umkhwenyana wakho ukuthi ukhulelwe uMsindisi othenjiswe nguNkulunkulu? Lowo ngumbuzo okungenzeka uMariya wazibuza wona ngemva kokuthola izindaba ezinhle. Lapho uJosefa ezwa lokhu, waqale wanquma ukuhlehla ebuhlotsheni babo. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayefuna ukufaka uJosefa kule ndaba. 

EmiBhalweni yanamuhla, uNkulunkulu uthumela isithunywa kuJosefa, simgcwalise ngemininingwane. Isithunywa sibiza uJosefa ngokuthi “indodana kaDavide,” okuyinto eyinqaba, ngoba uDavide akulona igama likayise kaJosefa. 

Udavide waphila emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambi kukaMariya noJosefa. Naye wayengowasedolobheni elincane, futhi wayephila impilo evamisile njengomalusi. Kodwa ngolunye usuku, uNkulunkulu wathumela isithunywa eBhetlehema ukuba sitshele uDavide ukuthi ukhethiwe ukuba abuse njengenkosi. 

Kamuva, uNkulunkulu wathembisa ukuthi omunye wenzalo kaDavide wayeyodala umbuso omusha nongcono owawungabusisa umhlaba wonke. Udavide nenzalo yakhe babenamaphutha futhi ngokujwayelekile benza izinqumo ezilimazayo, okwaholela ekuweni kombuso wabo. Abantu babazi ukuthi uma bezoba nombuso omusha nongcono, babedinga uDavide omusha nongcono. Ngakho, izizukulwane ngezizukulwane, abantu babelindele ukuba “iNdodana kaDavide” ifike.

Lokhu kusibuyisela kuJosefa, inzalo yomalusi owaba yinkosi. Ujosefa wayengaphelele, njengazo zonke ezinye izizukulwane zikaDavide kuze kube yileso sikhathi, kodwa iNdodana kaDavide yeqiniso nengenasici yayiza emhlabeni ngoMariya—owahlanganyela nomndeni kaJosefa njengomkakhe. Ngakho, nakuba uJosefa ayengeyena uyise kaJesu omzalayo, wakhulisa uJesu kanye noMariya—futhi wahlobanisa umndeni noDavide.

Ujosefa wathatha uMariya waya naye eBhetlehema, umuzi wakubo kaDavide. Futhi lapho, uMariya wazala uJesu, iNdodana yeqiniso kaDavide. Obani abantu bokuqala abathola ulwazi ngeNdodana kaDavide? Abelusi kunjalo. 

Indaba kaKhisimusi isikhumbuza ukuthi siyingxenye yento enkulu kunathi. Kuwo wonke umlando, uNkulunkulu ubesebenza nabantu ukuze enze umhlaba ufane nezulu. Udavide wayenendima okufanele ayifeze, ngokufanayo noJosefa. Kodwa indaba isaqhubeka, futhi manje sekuyithuba lethu. 

Pho sizokulandela kanjani ukuhola kwabo? Phela, enye inkomba isezindimeni zanamuhla. Bheka indlela uJosefa asabela ngayo obizweni lukaNkulunkulu. Uzoqaphela ukuthi uyalalela, uyethemba, futhi uyazidela ukuze asize abanye. Lapho senza ukukhetha okufanayo, siqhubekisela phambili indaba kaNkulunkulu. 

Thandaza: Nkulunkulu othandekayo, siyabonga ngokusimemela endabeni yakho. Ngiyazi ukuthi nginendima okufanele ngiyibambe ekwenzeni umhlaba ufane nezulu. Ngakho-ke ngicela ungisize ngiqaphele ukuthi ungibiza kanjani ukuze ngenze umehluko ezimpilweni zabanye. Ngegama likaJesu, ameni.
