Umthendeleko woBhaptizo lweNkosi ugqiba ixesha leKrisimesi kuthi kwaye usenze sidlule ekuqaleni kwexesha eliqhelekileyo. Ukusuka kwimbono yesibhalo, esi siganeko kubomi bukaYesu ikwalixesha lokutshintsha ukusuka kubomi baKhe obufihliweyo eNazarete kuye ekuqaleni kobulungiseleli baKhe eluntwini. Njengoko sikhumbula esi siganeko sizukileyo, kubalulekile ukucinga ngombuzo olula: Kutheni uYesu wabhaptizwa? Khumbula ukuba ubhaptizo lukaYohane yayisisenzo senguquko, isenzo awathi ngaso wamema abalandeli bakhe ukuba basishiye isono babuyele kuThixo.Kodwa uYesu wayengenasono, ke ngoku yayiyintoni isizathu sokubhaptizwa kwakhe?
Okokuqala, sibona kule ndawo icatshulwe ngasentla ukuba uYesu wayeyinyani wabonakaliswa ngesenzo sakhe sokuthobeka sokubhaptizwa. “UnguNyana wam oyintanda; Ndikholisiwe nguwe, ”latsho ilizwi likaBawo oseZulwini. Siyaxelelwa ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele wehla phezu kwakhe ekwimo yehobe. Ke ngoko, ubhaptizo lukaYesu ngokuyinxenye luchaza esidlangalaleni ukuba ungubani na. UnguNyana kaThixo, uMntu ongokobuthixo okumnye noBawo noMoya oyiNgcwele. Obu bungqina basesidlangalaleni yi "epiphany," ukubonakaliswa kwesazisi saKhe sokwenyani esinokubona xa elungiselela ukuqalisa umsebenzi wakhe esidlangalaleni.
Okwesibini, ukuthobeka kukaYesu kubonakala ngokubhaptizwa kwakhe, unguMntu wesiBini kaBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele, kodwa uyazivumela ukuba abonakalise aboni. Ngokwabelana ngesenzo esigxile kwinguquko, uYesu uthetha kakhulu ngesenzo sakhe sokubhaptizwa. Weza kuzimanya nathi aboni, ukungena esonweni nokungena ekufeni kwethu. Ukungena emanzini, ungena ngokufuziselayo ekufeni, okusisiphumo sesono sethu, kwaye avuke ngoloyiso, asivumele ukuba sivuke kunye naye kubomi obutsha. Ngesi sizathu, ubhaptizo lukaYesu lwaluyindlela "yokubhaptiza" amanzi, oko kukuthi, ukuze amanzi ngokwawo, ukusukela ngalaa mzuzu ukuya phambili, anikwe ubukho bawo obungcwele kwaye anokwaziswa kubo bonke abo babhaptizwayo emva yena. Ke ngoko, uluntu olunesono ngoku luyakwazi ukudibana nobuthixo ngokubhaptizwa.
Okokugqibela, xa sithatha inxaxheba kolu bhaptizo lutsha, ngamanzi angcwalisiweyo ngoku yiNkosi yethu engcwele, sibona ekubhaptizweni kukaYesu isityhilelo sokuba singobani kuye, Kanye njengokuba uYise wayethethile kwaye emazisa njengoYe. Nyana, nanjengoko uMoya oyiNgcwele wehla phezu kwakhe, ngokunjalo kubhaptizo lwethu siba ngabantwana bakaBawo abamkelekileyo kwaye sizaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Ke ngoko, ubhaptizo lukaYesu lunika ingcaciso malunga nokuba ngoobani esibhaptizwa njengamaKristu.

Ndingavula intliziyo yam kubabalo olungenakulinganiswa lokubhaptizwa kwam yonke imihla kwaye ndiphile ngokuzeleyo kunye nawe njengomntwana kaBawo, ndizaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
