Lingaliro lamasiku ano: Sanalankhule ndipo amavomereza kale Kristu
Mfumu yayikulu imabadwa mwana wakhanda. Amuna anzeru amachokera kutali, akutsogoleredwa ndi nyenyezi ndipo amabwera ku Betelehemu, kudzapembedza amene akugonerabe pa khola, koma akulamulira kumwamba ndi padziko lapansi. Pamene amatsenga adalengeza kwa Herode kuti Mfumu idabadwa, adada nkhawa, ndipo kuti asataye ufumuwo, amayesa kumupha, pomwe, pokhulupirira mwa iye, akadakhala otetezeka m'moyo uno ndipo akalamulira kwamuyaya motsatira.
Mukuopa chiyani, Herode, popeza mwamva kuti Mfumu yabadwa? Khristu sanabwere kudzakuchotsani pampando, koma kudzagonjetsa satana. Simumvetsetsa izi, chifukwa chake mumakwiya ndikukwiya; zowonadi, kuti muchotse zomwe mumangofuna nokha, mumakhala wankhanza popha ana ambiri.
Amayi omwe amalira samakupangitsani kuti mutsatire mayendedwe anu, simukusunthidwa ndi kulira kwa abambo kupha ana awo, kubuula komvetsa chisoni kwa ana sikukuletsani. Kuopa komwe kumakhudza mtima wanu kumakupangitsani kuti muphe ana ndipo, pamene mukuyesera kupha Moyo womwewo, mukuganiza kuti mutha kukhala ndi moyo wautali ngati mutha kuchita zomwe mumalakalaka. Koma iye, gwero la chisomo, chaching'ono ndi chachikulu nthawi yomweyo, ali chigonere, amachititsa mpando wanu wachifumu kunjenjemera; amakugwiritsirani ntchito omwe simudziwa mapulani ake ndipo amasula miyoyo ku ukapolo wa satana. Analandira ana a adani ndikuwapanga kukhala ana ake owalandira.
Ana, osadziwa, amafera Khristu, pomwe makolo amalira ofera omwe amafa. Khristu amawapanga iwo omwe sanalankhulebe kukhala mboni zake. Iye amene anabwera kudzalamulira akulamulira monga chonchi. Womasula wayamba kale kumasula ndipo mpulumutsi wapereka kale chipulumutso chake.
Koma iwe, O Herode, amene simukudziwa zonsezi, ndinu okhumudwa komanso ankhanza ndipo pamene mukukonzera chiwembu mwanayu, osadziwa, mukumulambira kale.
Mphatso yodabwitsa ya chisomo! Ndi mwayi wanji womwe ana awa anali nawo wopambana mwanjira imeneyi? Sanalankhulebe ndipo amavomereza kale Khristu! Sanakwanitse kuthana ndi nkhondoyi, chifukwa sanasunthire miyendo yawo komabe ali ndi mgwalangwa wopambana.
