Ukucamngca kwanamhlanje: Ilizwi lalowo uyakhala entlango
Ilizwi lalowo uyakhala enkqantosini: "Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, gcobani indlela kaThixo wethu esinqeni" (Is 40: 3).
Ubhengeza elubala ukuba izinto ekubhekiswa kuzo kwesi siprofeto, ezizezi zobuqaqawuli beNkosi kunye nokubonakaliswa kulo lonke uluntu losindiso lukaThixo, aziyi kwenzeka eYerusalem, kodwa entlango. Kwaye oku kwafezekiswa ngokwembali nangoko xa uYohane uMbhaptizi wayeshumayela ukubingelela okuhle kukaThixo kwintlango yaseJordani, apho usindiso lukaThixo lwabonakaliswa khona .. Inene, uKristu nozuko lwakhe babonakala ngokucacileyo kubo bonke xa, emva kokubhaptizwa kwakhe. amazulu noMoya oyiNgcwele, usihla usisimo sehobe, wehla phezu kwakhe kwaye kwavakala ilizwi likaBawo, lingqina ngoNyana: “Lo nguNyana wam oyintanda, endikholisiweyo nguye. Mveni yena "(Mt 17: 5).
Kodwa konke oku kufuneka kuqondwe ngengqondo yokomfuziselo. UThixo wayesele eza kuza kulaa ntlango, eyayihlala ingenakuchukunyiswa kwaye ingenakufikeleleka, eyayiluluntu. Oku eneneni yayiyintlango ivalwe ngokupheleleyo kulwazi lukaThixo kwaye ithintelwe kubo bonke abalungileyo nabaprofeti. Elo lizwi, nangona kunjalo, lisinyanzela ukuba sivule indlela eliya kwiLizwi likaThixo; Uyalela ukuba agudise umhlaba ongalinganiyo nomqengqelezi okhokelela kuwo, ukuze xa athe weza angene kuwo: Lungisa indlela yeNkosi (jonga uMl 3, 1).
Ukulungiselela kukushunyayelwa kwehlabathi, lubabalo oluthuthuzelayo. Banxibelelana noluntu ngolwazi losindiso lukaThixo.
Nyuka intaba ende, wena uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo eZiyon; phakamisa izwi lakho ngamandla, wena uzisa iindaba ezilungileyo eYerusalem ”(Is 40: 9).
Ngaphambili kwakukhe kwakho intetho yesandi enkqantosini, ngoku, ngala mabinzana, intshayelelo yenziwe, ngendlela emnandi, kubazisi bayo kwangoko bokufika koThixo nokuza kwakhe. Ngapha koko, kuqala sithetha ngesiprofetho sikaYohane umBhaptizi kwaye emva koko ngabavangeli.
Kodwa iyintoni iZiyon ekubhekiswa kuyo loo mazwi? Ngokuqinisekileyo oko kwakubizwa ngokuba yiYerusalem ngaphambili. Ngapha koko, yayiyintaba, njengoko isiBhalo siqinisekisa xa sisithi: "INtaba yeZiyon, apho wawuthatha khona umzi wakho" (Nd 73: 2); noMpostile: "Ufikile eNtabeni yeZiyon" (Heb 12:22). Kodwa ngengqondo ephezulu, iZiyon, eyenza ukuza kukaKrestu kwaziwe, yikwayara yabapostile, ekhethwe phakathi kwabantu bolwaluko.
Ewe, oku, enyanisweni, yiZiyon neJerusalem ezamkele usindiso lukaThixo nolubekwe phezu kwentaba kaThixo, kusekwe, oko kukuthi, kwiLizwi elizelwe lodwa likaBawo. Uyamyalela ukuba anyuke kuqala intaba entle, emva koko abhengeze usindiso lukaThixo.
Ngapha koko, ngubani umntu oza neendaba ezonwabisayo ukuba akunjalo? Kwaye kuthetha ntoni ukushumayela ivangeli ukuba ayizisi kubo bonke abantu, kwaye ngaphezu kwazo zonke izixeko zakwaYuda, iindaba ezimnandi zokuza kukaKristu emhlabeni?
