Inkosi esanda kuzalwa

Sisenkathini lapho amaKristu emhlabeni wonke amenywa ukuba agubhe iNkosi yamakhosi, njengoba nje kwenza izazi zasempumalanga: “Njengoba uJesu wazalelwa eBhetlehema laseJudiya ngesikhathi senkosi uHerode, bheka, izazi ezivela eBetlehema laseJudiya, bheka! abasempumalanga bafika eJerusalema, bathi: “Iphi inkosi yabaJuda esanda kuzalwa na? Sibonile inkanyezi yakhe iphuma futhi size ukuzokhuleka kuye.” ( UMathewu 2,1-enye).

UMathewu ubeka ukubaluleka okukhulu ekufakeni abeZizwe ezindabeni zevangeli ngoba uyazi ukuthi uJesu akazelanga amaJuda kuphela kodwa nezwe lonke. Akazalwanga enethemba lokuthi ngelinye ilanga uzoba yinkosi, kodwa wazalwa eyinkosi. Ngakho-ke, ukuzalwa kwakhe kwaba usongo olukhulu eNkosini uHerode. Ukuphila kukaJesu kuqala ngokuthintana nezazi zabeZizwe ezikhulekela futhi ezivuma uJesu njengeNkosi. Ngaphambi nje kokufa kwakhe, uJesu walethwa phambi kombusi; umbusi wambuza, wathi: Wena uyinkosi yabaJuda na? Kodwa uJesu wathi: “Usho njalo.”7,11).

Noma ubani owadlula igquma laseGolgotha ​​futhi wabona isiphambano esiphakanyisiwe ababebethele kuso uJesu wayengafunda oqwembeni olukhulu olungaphezu kwekhanda likaJesu: “UJesu waseNazaretha, iNkosi yabaJuda”. Abapristi abakhulu bakuthola kungakhululekile. Inkosi engenanhlonipho, engenamandla, engenabantu. Babuza uPilatu: Isibonakaliso akumelwe sithi lona wamaJuda uyiNkosi! Kodwa uPilatu akabange esakwazi ukushintsha umqondo wakhe. Futhi ngokushesha kwacaca: Akayona nje iNkosi yamaJuda, kodwa iNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

Abahlakaniphileyo basho ngokucacile ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi efanele. Siyofika isikhathi lapho bonke abantu beyobuqaphela khona ubukhosi bakhe: “Phambi kukaJesu bonke kumelwe baguqe ngamadolo—bonke abasezulwini, abasemhlabeni nabangaphansi komhlaba” ( Filipi 2,10 IBhayibheli Lezindaba Ezinhle).

UJesu uyiNkosi eyafika emhlabeni. Wayekhonzwa ngabahlakaniphileyo futhi ngelinye ilanga bonke abantu bayoguqa ngamadolo bamhloniphe.
