IVangeli noSanta wosuku: 22 Disemba 2019
Incwadi ka-Isaya 7,10: 14-XNUMX.
Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova wakhuluma ku-Ahazi, wathi:
"Cela isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ekujuleni komhlaba waphansi noma phezulu lapho."
Kepha u-Ahazi waphendula wathi: "Ngeke ngibuze, angifuni ukuyilinga iNkosi."
Wayesethi u-Isaya, “Lalelani, ndlu kaDavide! Akwanele yini kuwe ukudinwa ukubekezela kwabantu, ngoba manje nawe ufuna ukukhathala lokho kukaNkulunkulu wami?
Ngakho-ke iNkosi uqobo izokunikeza isibonakaliso. Lapha: intombi iyokhulelwa, izale indodana, ezoyibiza ngokuthi u-Emmanuel: uNkulunkulu-wethu-nathi.
Salmi 24(23),1-2.3-4ab.5-6.
OkweNkosi kungumhlaba, nalokho okukuqukethe,
umkhathi kanye nabakhile kuwo.
Nguye owasungula olwandle,
wamisa phezu kwemifula.
Ngubani ozokwenyuka intaba yeNkosi,
Ngubani oyohlala endaweni yakhe engcwele?
Ngubani onezandla ezingenacala nenhliziyo emsulwa,
ongakhulumi amanga.
Uzobusiswa yiNkosi,
ubulungiswa obuvela kuNkulunkulu insindiso yakhe.
Nasi isizukulwane esisifunayo,
ofuna ubuso bakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe.
Incwadi ka-Saint Paul umPhostoli eya kwabaseRoma 1,1-7.
UPawulu, inceku kaKristu Jesu, umphostoli ngezwi, wakhethwa ukumemezela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu,
ukuthi wathembisa ngabaprofethi bakhe ngemibhalo engcwele,
mayelana neNdodana yakhe, eyazalwa ohlwini lozalo lukaDavide ngokwenyama,
yenziwa iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngamandla ngokuya ngoMoya wokungcweliswa ngovuko kwabafileyo, uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu.
Ngaye samukele ngomusa womphambuki ukuthola ukuthobela ngokukholwa okuvela kubo bonke abantu, kube yinkazimulo yegama lakhe;
futhi phakathi kwalaba kukhona futhi, obizwe nguJesu Kristu.
Kubo bonke abaseRoma abathandwa uNkulunkulu nabangcwele ngokubiza, umusa kini nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu, uBaba wethu naseNkosini uJesu Kristu.
Okuvela kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaMathewu 1,18-24.
Lokhu kwenzeka kanjani ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu: Unina uMariya, athenjiswa umakoti kaJoseph, ngaphambi kokuba bayohlala bahlala ndawonye, wazithola ekhulelwe umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele.
UJoseph umyeni wakhe, owayelungile futhi engafuni ukumphika, wanquma ukumshisa ngasese.
Kepha esacabanga ngalezi zinto, ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ngephupho, yathi kuye: Ngcwele.
Uzozala indodana futhi uzombiza ngokuthi nguJesu: empeleni uzosindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo ».
Konke lokhu kwenzeka ngoba lokho iNkosi eyayikushilo ngomprofethi kwagcwaliseka:
"Lapha, intombi iyokhulelwa izale indodana ezobizwa ngokuthi u-Emmanuel", okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu-nathi.
Wavuka ebuthongweni, uJosefa wenza njengoba ingelosi yeNkosi yayiyalile wayithatha umakoti wayo.
