Yayingubani kanye umntu uNzuko?
Ndikhule, mna kunye nabantakwethu satshintsha indlela yokubala amanani abantwana kwindawo yokugcina abantwana. Ndikunqwenele ukubonisa oososayensi abathathu abahamba ngephenyane besiya emkhombeni, ndibabonisa kuhambo lwabo emva kwenkwenkwezi yaseBhetelehem.
Abantakwethu babexhalabile ngakumbi kukuxinana kwezilumko ezintathu, abelusi, ingelosi kunye nezilwanyana ezahlukeneyo zasefama kwisangqa esiqinileyo esijikeleze umkhombe, onke amaJuda kwaye ebambe usana olunguYesu. Ndabeka unyawo lwam phantsi unyaka, xa umntakwethu ezama ukongeza indlovu yokudlala kwisihlwele. Isibhalo, ngapha koko, asithethi nto malunga ne-pachyderms.
Impembelelo yam kulwazi lokufunda nokubhala inokuba yayilahlekisile, nangona kunjalo. Kuyavela ukuba izibhalo azithethi kangako ngamanani okuzalwa esiwathatha njengenyaniso. Nangona usana olunguYesu lwalulele emkhumbini lunokuchazwa.
Kukho amabali amabini ngokuzalwa kukaYesu, afumaneka kwiincwadi zeVangeli zikaMateyu noLuka. Kwibali likaMateyu, uMariya noJosefu sele behlala eBhetelehem, ke akufuneki bazimele esitalini. Ezinye i-magi (izibhalo azitsho ukuba zintathu, nangona kunjalo) zilandela inkanyezi ukuya eYerusalem, apho zingena khona endlwini kaMariya noYosefu (Mat. 2:11). Balumkisa usapho malunga neyelenqe likaKumkani uHerode lokubulala umntwana uYesu kunye nosapho babalekela eYiputa. Babuya ke bayokuvula ivenkile eNazarete, bangaze babuyele ekhayeni labo eBhetelehem (Mat 2: 23).
Kwinguqulo kaLuka, izazi azikho ndawo ukuba zibonwe. Endaweni yoko, ngabelusi abangabokuqala ukuva iindaba ezilungileyo zokuzalwa komsindisi. Kule vangeli, uMariya noJosefu sele behlala eNazarete kodwa kufuneka babuyele eBhetelehem ukuze kubalwe abantu; yile nto ezalisa i-inns kwaye yawenza umsebenzi kaMariya kwisitali esinyanzelekileyo (Luka 2: 7). Emva kobalo bantu, sinokucinga ukuba usapho lubuyile ngoxolo eNazarete ngaphandle kokuphambukela kwelaseJiphutha.
Umahluko phakathi kwezi Vangeli zimbini kungenxa yeenjongo zawo ezahlukeneyo. Ngokubalekela eYiphutha kunye nokubulawa kwabamsulwa nguHerode, umbhali kaMateyu uchaza uYesu njengoMoses olandelayo kwaye uchaza indlela usana olunguYesu oluzalisekisa ngayo iziprofeto ezithile zeBhayibhile yesiHebhere.
Umbhali kaLuka, kwelinye icala, ubeka uYesu njengomngeni kumlawuli waseRoma, ogama lakhe libandakanya "uNyana kaThixo" kunye "noMsindisi". Isigijimi sengelosi kubelusi sivakalisa ukuba nangu umsindisi oza kuzisa usindiso kungengamandla ezopolitiko kunye nolawulo, kodwa endaweni yokudityaniswa okukhulu kwenkqubo yentlalo, eya kuphakamisa abathobekileyo kwaye bondle abalambileyo (Luka 1: 46-55).
Ngelixa umahluko phakathi kwezi gospile zimbini ungabonakala ubalulekile, uhambo olubalulekileyo lokuthabatha lubekwe kokufanayo kunendlela abahluka ngayo. Omabini la mabali ebuntwaneni achaza ukuzalwa ngokungummangaliso kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba kungabikho ngasese. Amanani angqonge uYesu, nokuba ziingelosi ezingcwele okanye izazi zabantu okanye abelusi, abachithi xesha ekusasazeni iindaba ezilungileyo zokuzalwa kwakhe
