Ukuzinikela kosuku: thandaza kuYesu, mxelele ukuba utshintshe intliziyo yakho
Iziphumo zeengelosi. Kwakusezinzulwini zobusuku: yonke indalo yaphumla ithe cwaka, kwaye akukho namnye owacinga ngabahambi babini baseNazarete, ngaphandle kwehotele eBhetelehem. UMariya walinda emthandazweni, xa kukhanya indlu, kwavakala isikhalo esithi: uYesu uzelwe. Ngequbuliso, iingelosi zehla zaya kuye, kwaye ngehadi bacula: Uzuko kuThixo, noxolo ebantwini. Enjani yona ukubhiyozela iZulu! Olunjani lona uvuyo emhlabeni! Kwaye uya kubanda, usazi ukuba uYesu uzelwe, ngaba uyakulilela?
Utyelelo lwabelusi. Ngubani owakhe wamenyelwa kuqala kuYesu? Mhlawumbi uHerode okanye umlawuli waseRoma? Mhlawumbi oongxowankulu abakhulu? Mhlawumbi ngabafundi bendlu yesikhungu? Hayi: UYesu ulihlwempu, uthobekile kwaye uzifihlile, ulijongela phantsi iqhayiya lehlabathi. Bambalwa abelusi ababejonga imihlambi yabo kufutshane neBhetelehem babengabokuqala ukumenyelwa kwindlu leyo; abelusi abathobekileyo nabadeliweyo njengoYesu; ihlwempu ngegolide, kodwa ityebile ngokulunga; baphaphile, oko kukuthi, banomdla ... Ke ngoko abathobekileyo, abanesidima, abanomdla, ngabo bathanda uMntwana ...
Isipho sabelusi. Yithanda ukholo lwabelusi njengoko besondela kwaye bengena endlwini. Babona iindonga ezirhabaxa kuphela, bacinga kuphela ngomntwana ofana nabanye, obekwe phezu kwengca. Kodwa iNgelosi yathetha; baqubuda emazantsi esilali, bemdumisa uThixo besongile. Bamnika izipho ezilula, kodwa bayinika intliziyo yabo ukuba bambuyise bangcwele kwaye bamthande uThixo, kwaye awuyikunikela ngentliziyo yakho kuYesu? Ngaba awuzukumbongoza ukuba abe ngcwele?
UKUZIPHATHA. - isihlanu isitya kuYesu; mxelele ukuba atshintshe intliziyo yakho.
