Imbeko ye-Annunciation yeNkosi

KAKHULU Iindawo zehlabathi azisakholelwa kuThixo kuba bengasamboni uThixo phakathi kwethu. “Kodwa uYesu wenyukela emazulwini kwiminyaka engama 2000 eyadlulayo — ewe, abamboni…” Kodwa u Yesu ngokwakhe wathi uyakufumaneka emhlabeni. kubantakwabo noodadewabo.

Apho ndikhona mna, woba khona apho nondikhonzayo; (jnJn 12:26)

Oku kuzifanisa noKristu kungaphaya kokuba “nekhadi lobulungu” kwiCawa yamaKatolika; ngaphaya kokuba lirhamente eliqhelekileyo kunye nokuba negalelo kwingqokelela yeveki. Imalunga nokuphindaphinda ubukho bukaYesu emhlabeni ngobomi bethu.

Ihlabathi alisakholwa kuba alimboni uYesu kuwe nam! Siya kwiMisa, kodwa yonke enye into ngathi ifana nehlabathi: sitya njengehlabathi, siziyolise njengehlabathi, sithenga njengehlabathi, sithetha njengehlabathi, siziphatha njengehlabathi. Ke ngoko ihlabathi lithi, “UbuKristu abunantsingiselo kuba abutshintshi nto. Ngapha koko, inkolo ayenzi nto ngaphandle kokudala iingxaki…” Bakholelwa oku kuba babona thina maKristu siqala iimfazwe phakathi kwethu. Siyalwa kwaye siqhawule umtshato kwaye sihlaselana njengehlabathi lonke. Asixoleli, silibale, kwaye siqhubela phambili. Asilandeli umzekelo wovuyo, inzondelelo, novelwano lwalowo usindisiweyo. Asiphili ukulula, intlupheko, kunye neqela eliba lihlabathi a uphawu lokuchasana. Umqondiso wesiprofeto othi, “UThixo unathi! UThixo unathi!”

Ndithetha ukuthini ngale nto? Asikuko ukuba mna nawe sibe ngoothixo—kukho uThixo omnye: uYise, noNyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele. Kungathethi kuphela ukuba sifanele sibe njengoThixo, njengoKristu. Kuba baninzi abangakholelwayo kuThixo abanjengoKristu ngakumbi kunamaKristu. Kuthetha ukuba mandingabi nasiqu sam, ndimanyene nentando yaKhe, ndizaliswe nguThixo, aphile ngokwenyani ngaye nangaphakathi kum ehlabathini. ubukho bokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele. Kuba uYesu wathi:

Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko satshoyo isibhalo, kuya kumpompoza imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo, iphuma entliziyweni yakhe. ’” Oku wakutsho ke ngaye uMoya, ababeza kumamkeliswa abo bakholwayo kuye. ( Yoh 7:38-39 )

Ngamanye amazwi, mna nawe siza kuba njalo iikopi yeNtombi Enyulu uMariya. Yena owathi, waba yinto engento, emanyene kakhulu nentando kaThixo, waze wazaliswa nguThixo, uEmanuweli. Naphi na apho uMariya wayesiya khona, wayekho uYesu, “uThixo unathi.” Kwenzeka njani oku? KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, ingelosi uGabriyeli yathi kuMariya:

UMoya oyiNgcwele uya kukufikela, athi amandla Osenyangweni akusibekele.

Nantso indlela. NjengoMariya, usenokujonga esipilini uze uthi, “Inokwenzeka njani le nto?” Kaloku, kwakunjalo: ngokuguquka ezonweni zakho, uzinikele ngokupheleleyo ekuthandeni kukaThixo (oko kukuthi ukumthanda), nangomthandazo, iiSakramente, nangokudla isonka semihla ngemihla selizwi lakhe; ukukhanya nobukho bukaThixo buyakuzalisa njengomlambo wokukhanya, kwaye buqale ukukhazimla kuwe. Ewe, kwanoYohane uMbhaptizi, ngoxa wayesesesibelekweni sikaElizabhete, akazange ambone uYesu ngamehlo akhe, kodwa “wakubona” ukukhanya kweNkosi waza wabuva ubukho bakhe. Uye waxhuma. Ihlabathi, lihleli ebumnyameni, lilindele ukukhanya kukaYesu ukuba kufike kubo, uYesu owathi Ndilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi. Kodwa yima! Emva koko wathi,

wena balukhanyiso lwehlabathi. ^[1]I-Matt 5: 14

Mna nawe siza kulahleka kakhulu kuThixo, silahlwe kakhulu ekuthandeni Kwakhe, simthanda kakhulu, kangangokuba naphi na apho uYesu aya khona—enoba kukwiinqaba zeofisi zesixeko okanye kwimisele yamatyotyombe—lapho nathi sikuye. kwaye Yena unathi. Iikopi zikaMariya. Asiyiyo leyo Wayithethayo?

... osukuba ekwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini nguye umntakwethu, nodade wethu, noma.” ( Mateyu 12:50 )

Simele sithembe ukuba uThixo uya kukwenza oko athe ufuna ukukwenza, “ukuba lowo wawuqalayo kuni umsebenzi olungileyo, uya kuqhubeka ewugqiba.” ^[2]cf. Fil 1: 6 Bukhalimele ubuxoki bukaSathana, phakamisa izandla zakho, uguqe ngamadolo, uthi Yesu, yenze! Yenze kum. Makwenzeke kum. Yiza Moya oyiNgcwele, njengakwiPentekoste entsha, uyivuthise intliziyo yam ngedangatye lothando lukaThixo, ukuze bonke abasondela kum babone ukuqaqamba kwaYo kwaye beve ubushushu baYo.

Lixesha ke mawethu ukuba siwuyeke lo mhlaba. Wenza ntoni ngexesha lakho mntwana kaThixo? Wenza ntoni ngemali yakho, dade kaKristu? Wenza ntoni ngezipho, mzalwana kaYesu? Akuboni na ukuba ihlabathi lisebumnyameni, lilindele ukukhanya kobomi bakho? hamba uye kuthengisa ngeento zonke, uphe amahlwempu, undilandele; Athetha ukuthini la magama? Kukho “iperile yexabiso elikhulu.” BuBukumkani bukaThixo. Kwaye kufanelekile ukunikela yonke into ngokupheleleyo. Kutheni sichitha ixesha kunye nemali yethu kwimibono ye-neon yeli hlabathi? Funa kuqala uBukumkani bukaThixo!

UYesu ulinde wena. Ngoku lixesha lokukhulula, kwaye uvumele uMoya enze ummangaliso wobomi bukaThixo kuwe. Nokuba usisityebi nokuba ulihlwempu, bekani zonke izinto ngoku kuBawo. SUKOYIKA. Xelisa owathi ngokulula, “makwenzeke kum ngokokuthanda kwakho. Kwaye uYesu uyakuqala ukuphila kwakhona kweli hlabathi, ngawe…umqondiso wesiprofeto UThixo usenathi.

Akuwathandanga idini nedini, kodwa undilungisele umzimba... Yabona, ndiyeza ukuza kwenza intando yakho, Thixo. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)

Ngoko ke, bazalwana, ngeemfefe zikaThixo, ukuba niyinikele imizimba yenu ibe lidini eliphilileyo, elingcwele, elikholekileyo kuThixo:inkonzo yenu ke leyo yasengqondweni. Musani ke ukuthatha isimilo sabantu beli phakade, kodwa kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu… (KwabaseRoma 12:1-2)
