Cinga namhlanje ngento yokuba uThixo ufuna ukuba nibe nobudlelane nobomi
Bakuba bezifezekisile zonke izinto ezazifunwa ngumthetho weNkosi, babuyela eGalili, kwisixeko sakowabo iNazarete. Wakhula umntwana, waya esomelela ngokomelela, ezele bubulumko; ubabalo lukaThixo lunaye. ULuka 2: 39-40
Namhlanje sihlonipha ubomi bosapho ngokubanzi ngokunqumama ukucamngca ngobomi obuhle nobuhle obufihlwe ngaphakathi endlwini ka Yesu, uMariya noJoseph. Ngeendlela ezininzi, ubomi babo bemihla ngemihla kunye babunokufana kakhulu nobezinye iintsapho ngelo xesha. Kodwa ngezinye iindlela, ubomi babo ngokudibeneyo buhluke ngokupheleleyo kwaye basinika imodeli efanelekileyo yazo zonke iintsapho.
Ngokubonelela nangecebo likaThixo, kuncinci kakhulu okukhankanyiweyo esiBhalweni malunga nobomi bosapho lukaYesu, uMariya noJoseph. Sifunda ngokuzalwa kukaYesu, inkcazo etempileni, ukubalekela eYiphutha kunye nokufunyanwa kukaYesu etempileni eneminyaka elishumi elinambini. Kodwa ngaphandle kwala mabali obomi kunye, sazi okuncinci kakhulu.
Ibinzana elivela kwiVangeli yanamhlanje elicatshulwe ngasentla, nangona kunjalo, lisinika ukuqonda ukuze sicingisise. Kuqala, siyabona ukuba olu sapho "luzalisekisile zonke iimfuno zomthetho weNkosi ..." Ngelixa oku kubhekisa kuYesu oziswe etempileni, kufanele ukuba iqondwe kuwo onke amacandelo obomi babo kunye. Ubomi bosapho, njengobomi bethu ngabanye, kufuneka bulandelwe yimithetho yeNkosi yethu.
Umthetho ophambili weNkosi ngokubhekisele kubomi bosapho kukuba kufuneka athathe inxaxheba kubunye kunye "nobudlelane bothando" obufumaneka kubomi bukaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele. Umntu ngamnye kaBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele unembeko egqibeleleyo ngomnye, uzinikezela ngokungazenzisiyo ngaphandle kokuzidela kwaye wamkela umntu ngamnye kwitotali yakhe. Luthando lwabo olubenza babe banye kwaye babenze ukuba basebenze kunye ngemvisiswano egqibeleleyo njengomanyano lwaBantu abaNgcwele. Nangona uSt. Esi sipho sikhulu sothando lwabo olugqibeleleyo luya kubakhokelela mihla le ekufezekiseni ubomi babo.
Cinga ngolwalamano lwakho olusondeleyo namhlanje. Ukuba unethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo ukuba nosapho olusondeleyo, cinga ngalo. Ukuba akunjalo, camngca ngabantu ebomini bakho obabizelwe ukubathanda ngothando losapho. Ukhona nabani ngamaxesha amnandi namabi? Ngubani omele uncame ubomi bakho ngaphandle kokuzibekela? Ungubani ukuba unike imbeko, uvelwano, ixesha, amandla, inceba, isisa, kunye nawo onke amanye amandla? Uwenza njani lo msebenzi wothando?
Cinga namhlanje ngento yokuba uThixo ufuna ukuba wabelane ngobudlelane bobomi, hayi nje kuphela noBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele kodwa nabo bakungqongileyo, ngakumbi nosapho lwakho. Zama ukucamngca ngobomi obufihliweyo bukaYesu, uMariya noJoseph kwaye uzame ukwenza ubudlelwane babo bosapho babe ngumzekelo wendlela obathanda ngayo abanye. Ngamana ubudlelwane babo obugqibeleleyo bothando bungaba ngumzekelo kuthi sonke.
Nkosi, nditsalele ebomini, uthando kunye nomthendeleko owawuhlala nawo noMama wakho oMsulwa kunye noSt. Ndikunika wena, usapho lwam kunye nabo bonke abo ndibizelwe ukubathanda ngothando olukhethekileyo. Ngamana ndingalinganisa uthando kunye nobomi bosapho lwakho kubo bonke ubudlelwane bam. Ndincede ndazi ukuba ndingatshintsha njani kwaye ndikhule ukuze ndibelane ngakumbi ngobomi bakho bosapho. UYesu ndiyakholelwa kuwe.
