Indima kaKrestu yokuprofeta
Athi kubo uYesu, Namhlanje sizalisekile esi sibhalo; Kwaye wonke umntu wayethetha kakhulu ngaye kwaye emangalisiwe ngamazwi amnandi aphuma emlonyeni wakhe. ULuka 4: 21-22a
UYesu wayesandula ukufika eNazarete, apho wakhulela khona, wangena etempileni ukuze afunde izibhalo. Wafunda isicatshulwa esivela ku-Isaya: "UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwam, ngenxa yokuba undimisele ukuba ndizise iindaba ezilungileyo kumahlwempu. Undithumele ukuba ndibhengeze inkululeko kumabanjwa, ndize ndibuye ndibone abangaboniyo, ndikhulule abacinezelweyo, ndibhengeze unyaka owamkelekileyo weNkosi. Emva kokufunda le nto, wahlala phantsi wabhengeza ukuba esi siprofeto sikaIsaya sanelisekile.
Indlela abantu besixeko sakhe umdla. "Wonke umntu wathetha kakhulu ngaye kwaye wamangaliswa ngamazwi anomusa aphuma emlonyeni wakhe." Ubuncinci, yindlela yokuqala yokusabela. Kodwa ukuba siyaqhubeka nokufunda siyabona ukuba uYesu ucela umngeni ebantwini kwaye, ngenxa yoko, babegcwele ingqumbo kwaye bazama ukumbulala kwangoko.
Rhoqo, sinokuphendula okufanayo kuYesu, ekuqaleni, singathetha kakuhle ngaye kwaye simamkele ngobabalo. Umzekelo, ngeKrisimesi singacula amaculo ekrisimesi kwaye sibhiyozele umhla wokuzalwa kwakhe ngovuyo nangombhiyozo. Singaya ecaweni kwaye sinqwenelele abantu iKrisimesi emyoli. Singaseta indawo yokubonisa emkhumbini kwaye sihombise ngeempawu zobuKristu zokholo lwethu. Kodwa inzulu kangakanani yonke le nto? Ngamanye amaxesha imibhiyozo yeKrisimesi kunye nezithethe azikho phezulu kwaye azibonisi ubunzulu bokwenene benkolo yobuKristu okanye ukholo. Kwenzeka ntoni xa lo Kristu-Umntwana uxabisekileyo ethetha ngenyaniso kunye nokuqiniseka? Kwenzeka ntoni xa igospile isibizela enguqukweni nasekuguqukeni? Sithini ukusabela kwethu kuKristu ngale mizuzu?
Njengokuba siqhubeka kwiveki ephelileyo yexesha lethu leKrisimesi, masiqwalasele namhlanje into yokuba umntwana omncinci esimhloniphayo ngeKrisimesi ukhulile kwaye ngoku usixelela amazwi enyaniso. Cingisisa ukuba uzimisele ukumbeka hayi njengomntwana kuphela kodwa nanjengomprofeti wayo yonke inyaniso. Ngaba ukulungele ukumamela sonke isigidimi sakhe kwaye usamkele ngovuyo? Ngaba uzimisele ukuvumela amazwi aKhe ukuba angene entliziyweni yakho kwaye aguqule ubomi bakho?
Nkosi, ndiyakuthanda kwaye ndifuna ukuba yonke into oyithethileyo ingene entliziyweni yam kwaye inditsalele kuyo yonke inyaniso. Ndincede ndikwamkele kungekuphela njengosana oluzelwe eBhetelehem, kodwa nanjengomprofeti omkhulu weNyaniso. Ndingangaze ndikhubekiswe ngamazwi owathethayo kwaye ndingasoloko ndivuleleke kwindima yakho yesiprofetho ebomini bam. UYesu ndiyakholelwa kuwe.
