Ukukhanya Kwabezizwe nguGreg Olsen
KUNGANI ingabe uJesu weza emhlabeni njengoba enza—embathisa ubunjalo Bakhe bobuNkulunkulu ku-DNA, kuma-chromosome, nefa lofuzo lowesifazane, uMariya? Ngokuba uJesu wayengavele azibonakalise ehlane, angene masinyane ezinsukwini ezingamashumi amane zokulingwa, wabe esevela ngoMoya ngenkonzo Yakhe yeminyaka emithathu. Kodwa esikhundleni salokho, Wakhetha ukuhamba ezinyathelweni zethu kusukela esikhathini sokuqala sokuphila Kwakhe kobuntu. Wakhetha ukuba mncane, angabi nakuzisiza, futhi abe buthakathaka, ngokuba...
…kwakufanele afane nabafowabo kukho konke, ukuze abe umpristi omkhulu ohawukelayo nothembekileyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ahlawulele izono zabantu. ( Hebheru 2:17 )
Ikhona impela kulokhu i-kenosis, lokhu kuzikhulula kanye nokuzithoba kobunkulunkulu Bakhe ukuthi umyalezo ojulile wothando udluliselwe komunye nomunye wethu mathupha.
Sifunda eVangelini ukuthi uJesu ungena ethempelini okokuqala njengengane. Njengoba ngilobe ngesonto eledlule, iTestamente Elidala liyisithunzi nje seLisha; ithempeli likaSolomoni liwumfanekiso nje okungokomoya ithempeli elavulwa nguKristu:
Anazi yini ukuthi umzimba wenu uyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele ophakathi kwenu…? (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 6:19.)
Kule mpambano eyingqopha-mlando ye-Old with the New, umfanekiso nomlayezo ongcwele uyagxila: Ngifisa ukungena enhliziyweni yakho njengethempeli Lami, futhi ngiza kuwe ngimnene njengengane, ngithobekile njengejuba, nanjengoMusa osenyameni. Lokho uJesu akukhuluma buthule ezandleni zikaMariya kwacaciswa lapho kamuva Ememezela ngezindebe Zakhe:
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye. ( Johane 3:16-17 )
Ngakho-ke, soni esithandekayo: yeka ukubalekela le Baby! Yeka ukukholelwa amanga okuthi awumfanele lo Mntwana ofisa ukuzihlalela enhliziyweni yakho. Niyabona, njengesitebele eBetlehema, nethempeli lalingakalungiselelwa ukufika kweNkosi. Kwakugcwele umsindo, ezentengiselwano, abashintshi bemali, abathelisi, nobulembu nobuthongo bokulinda uMesiya amakhulu eminyaka.
Kuyakufika ngokuzuma ethempelini uJehova enimfunayo, nesithunywa sesivumelwano enisifisayo. (Mal 3:1)
Futhi uJesu uza kuwe ngaso lesi sikhathi, mhlawumbe ngokungalindelekile. Awuzilungiselele? Nabapristi abakhulu babengebona. Uyisoni? Nami ngokunjalo. Awukwazi ukwenza inhliziyo yakho imfanele Yena? Nami ngeke. Kodwa UJesu usenza sifaneleke Yena, Lowo oluthando, ngoba “Uthando lumboza izono eziningi.” [1]I-1 Pet 4: 8 Nina niyithempeli laKhe futhi Uyangena emasangweni enhliziyo yakho uma umemukela ngamazwi amabili: Ngixolele. Ungena ezinkantolo zakho lapho usho ngenhliziyo amanye amagama amahlanu: Jesu ngithemba wena. Ube esengena ekujuleni kobuntu bakho, enze inhliziyo yakho ibe ngcwele Ngcwele kangcwele, lapho ugcina imiyalo yaKhe.
Ongithandayo uyakugcina izwi lami, noBaba wami uyakumthanda, size kuye, sihlale naye. (Johane 14:23)
Ungesabi... lawo ngamazwi ashiwo kuMariya ngaphambi kokuba akhulelwe loMsane esibelethweni sakhe. Kanjalo futhi, amazwi aphindwa kini namuhla, nina eniyizoni enididekile, evalelekile, futhi ezulazula ebumnyameni: ningesabi! Ngoba uyabona, uSimeyoni akahambi efuna uJesu, kodwa uJesu uyeza emfuna, njengoba ekufuna manje. Futhi Uza ezandleni zikaMariya. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyamthanda noma uyamazi lo wesifazane noma cha (njengoba noSimeyoni engazange), uyeza eMthwele, njengokungathi uphethe iLantern, ebumnyameni benhliziyo yakho. Ngazi kanjani? Ngoba ufunda lokhu manje, yena okuholele la mazwi. Futhi uthi into eyodwa kuphela: yenzani noma yini anitshela yona. [2]isib. Johane 2:5 Futhi Uthi:
Wozani kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo, mina ngizakuniphumuza… (Math 11:28)
angizanga ukuzonilahla. Uyingane. Ungasaba kanjani? Uyisibani esifudumele nesithambile, hhayi ilanga elivuthayo, eliqhumayo. Ibuthakathaka futhi ayinakuzisiza phambi kwamandla akho, akayona inkosi enamandla—iNkosi yamakhosi, egqoke izindwangu nothando olungapheli.
Yinye kuphela into okufanele uyesabe, soni esithandekayo, futhi lokho kungukwala lokhu kufika kukaJesu ngobumnene.
Zithembe Mntanami. Ungalahli ithemba ngokuza uxolelwe, ngoba ngihlale ngikulungele ukukuthethelela. Njalo lapho niwucela, nidumisa umusa Wami. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari yaseSt Faustina, n. 1488
Ngoba akekho kithi owazi ukuthi siyocwayiza nini kanye, futhi sizithole sikolunye uhlangothi lwephakade… simi phambi Kwakhe kuyo yonke inkazimulo Yakhe, amandla, ubukhosi, nokulunga kwakhe.
… Ngaphambi kokuba ngize njengoJaji onobulungisa, ngiqala ngivule kakhulu umnyango wesihe Sami. Owenqaba ukudlula emnyango wesihe Sami kufanele adlule ngomnyango wobulungiswa Bami… -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari yaseSt Faustina, n. 1146
