Xmas - uKhisimusi
“Ngakho-ke, bazalwane abangcwele, eningabahlanganyeli obizweni lwasezulwini, bhekani kumphostoli nomPristi Omkhulu esimvumayo, uJesu Kristu” (KumaHeberu 3:1). Abantu abaningi bayakwamukela ukuthi uKhisimusi usuphenduke umkhosi onesiphithiphithi, wezohwebo - isikhathi esiningi ukhohlwe uJesu ngokuphelele. Kugcizelelwa ukudla, iwayini, izipho kanye nemikhosi; kodwa yini egujwayo? NjengamaKristu, kufanele sicabangele ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu athumela iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni.
UKhisimusi ubonisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngesintu njengoba sifunda kuJohane 3:16 . “Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. UNkulunkulu ufuna sijabule ngesinqumo asenza sokuthumela iNdodana yakhe kuleli zwe elinesono. Kwaqala ngengane emkhombeni esitebeleni esiphansi.
I-secularization ethakazelisayo kaKhisimusi isifinyezo esiye savamile kithi namuhla - "Xmas". UKristu ukhishiwe egameni elithi "uKhisimusi"! Abanye bayakuthethelela lokhu ngokuthi u-X umele isiphambano. Uma lokho kuyiqiniso, kusazobonakala ukuthi labo abasebenzisa leli gama bayayiqonda yini incazelo.
Njengoba sigubha ukuzalwa koMsindisi wethu nabangane kanye nomndeni, kufanele siqiniseke ukuthi sibheka kuye: “Masigxilise amehlo ethu kuJesu, umanduleli nokuphelela kokukholwa—ngoba uJesu wayeyazi intokozo eyayimlindile, wakwamukela. ukufa esiphambanweni namahloni ahambisana nakho, futhi manje uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi ezulwini ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu (KumaHebheru 12:2).
Njengoba bevula izipho zabo ngoKhisimusi, khumbula lokho umphostoli uJakobe akuloba esahlukweni 1:17 : “Izipho ezinhle kuphela ezivela phezulu, kuphela izipho eziphelele: zivela kuMdali wezulu, ongaguqukiyo futhi ngaye. akukho ukuguquka kusuka ekukhanyeni kuya ebumnyameni". UJesu wayeyisipho sikaKhisimusi esikhulu kunazo zonke, hhayi uKhisimusi (uKhisimusi).
