Zindla namuhla ngeqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna nibe nenhlanganyelo yempilo
Kwathi sebefeze konke okufunwa ngumthetho weNkosi, babuyela eGalile, edolobheni lakubo iNazaretha. Umntwana wakhula, waba namandla, wagcwala ukuhlakanipha; umusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe. ULuka 2: 39-40
Namuhla sihlonipha impilo yomndeni wonkana ngokuma kancane sizindle ngempilo ethize futhi enhle efihlwe endlini kaJesu, uMariya noJosefa. Ngezindlela eziningi, impilo yabo yansuku zonke ndawonye yayizocishe ifane neyeminye imindeni ngaleso sikhathi. Kepha ngezinye izindlela, impilo yabo ndawonye ihluke ngokuphelele futhi isinikeza ngemodeli ephelele yayo yonke imindeni.
Ngokuhlinzeka ngohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, kuncane kakhulu okukhulunywe ngakho emiBhalweni ngempilo yomndeni kaJesu, uMariya noJosefa. Sifunda ngokuzalwa kukaJesu, ukwethulwa ethempelini, ukubalekela eGibhithe nokutholwa kukaJesu ethempelini eneminyaka eyishumi nambili. Kepha ngaphandle kwalezi zindaba zempilo yabo sindawonye, sazi okuncane kakhulu.
Inkulumo evela eVangelini lanamuhla ecashunwe ngenhla, nokho, isinikeza ukuqonda okufanele sizindle ngakho. Okokuqala, siyabona ukuthi lo mndeni "uzifezile zonke izidingo zomthetho weNkosi ..." Yize lokhu kubhekiswe kuJesu owethulwe ethempelini, kufanele futhi kuqondwe ngazo zonke izici zempilo yabo ndawonye. Impilo yomndeni, njengempilo yethu uqobo, kufanele i-elwe yimithetho yeNkosi yethu.
Umthetho oyinhloko weNkosi maqondana nempilo yomndeni ukuthi kumele ubambe iqhaza ebunyeni kanye "nokuhlangana kothando" okutholakala empilweni kaZiqu-zintathu oNgcwele. Umuntu ngamunye kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele unenhlonipho ephelele ngomunye, uzinikela ngokungazideli ngokuzinikela futhi wamukela umuntu ngamunye ngokuphelele. Uthando lwabo olubenza babe munye futhi lubenze bakwazi ukusebenza ndawonye ngokuzwana okuphelele njengenhlanganyelo yaBantu baphezulu. Yize uSt.Joseph wayengenasici esimweni sakhe, ukuphelela kothando kwakuhlala eNdodaneni yakhe yaphezulu nakunkosikazi wayo ongenasici. Lesi sipho esimangazayo sothando lwabo oluphelele sasibaholela nsukuzonke ekupheleleni kwezimpilo zabo.
Cabanga ngobuhlobo bakho obuseduze kakhulu namuhla. Uma unenhlanhla ngokwanele yokuba nomndeni osondele, cabanga ngakho. Uma kungenjalo, zindla ngabantu abasempilweni yakho obizelwe ukubathanda ngothando lomndeni. Ngabe ukhona lapho ngezikhathi ezinhle nezimbi? Ubani okufanele unikele ngempilo yakho ngaphandle kokuzibekela? Ungubani wena ongamnika inhlonipho, uzwelo, isikhathi, amandla, isihe, ukuphana, nawo wonke amanye amandla? Futhi ufeza kangakanani lo msebenzi wothando?
Cabanga namuhla ngeqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ukuthi wabelane ngesidlo, hhayi kuphela noZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele kepha nalabo abaseduze kwakho, ikakhulukazi nomndeni wakho. Zama ukuzindla ngempilo efihlekile kaJesu, uMariya noJoseph bese uzama ukwenza ubudlelwane bomndeni wabo bube yisibonelo sendlela othanda ngayo abanye. Kwangathi ukuhlangana kwabo kothando okuphelele kungaba yisibonelo kithi sonke.
