UJesu Krestu—NguMesiya Othenjisiweko

UKUSIRHELEBHA bona sibone uMesiya, uJehova uZimu waphefumulela abaporofidi abanengi beBhayibhili bona banikele imininingwana emalungana nokubelethwa, ikonzo nokuhlongakala koMtjhaphululi othenjisiweko. Zoke iimporofido zeBhayibhilezi zazaliseka kuJesu Krestu. Zinembile begodu zikarisa khulu. Ukutjengisa lokhu, akhe sicabangele iimporofido ezimbalwa ezabikezela izehlakalo ezihlobene nokubelethwa nokukhuliswa kwaMesiya.

Umporofidi u-Isaya wabikezela bona uMesiya uzokuba yinzalo yeKosi uDavidi. (Isaya 9:7) Kwamambala uJesu wabelethelwa ekorweni kaDavidi.—Matewu 1:1, 6-17.

Omunye umporofidi kaZimu uMika, wabikezela bona umntwana lo emaswapheleni uzokuba mbusi begodu uzokubelethelwa “eBhetlehema Efratha.” (Mika 5:2) Lokha uJesu nabelethwako, gade kunemizi eembili kwa-Israyeli ebizwa bona yiBhetlehema. Omunye gade uhlanu kweNazaretha etlhagwini yesifunda senarha, begodu omunye uhlanu kweJerusalema kwaJuda. IBhetlehema ehlanu kweJerusalema gade ibizwa bona yi-Efratha. UJesu wabelethelwa emzini loyo njengombana umporofidi wabikezela.—Matewu 2:1.

Esinye isiporofido seBhayibhili sabikezela bona iNdodana kaZimu beyizokubizwa bona “iphume eGibhida.” Lokha asesemntwana, uJesu wathathwa wayiswa eGibhida. Ngemva kokuhlongakala kwakaHerodi bambuyisa, lokho kwazalisa isiporofido.—Hoseya 11:1; Matewu 2:15.

Etjhadini elisekhasini-200, kunerhelo lemitlolo ngaphasi kwesihloko esithi “Isiporofido” emumethe imininingwana emalungana noMesiya. Sibawa bona umadanise lokhu nerhelo lemitlolo ngaphasi kwesihloko esithi “Ukuzaliseka.” Ukwenza lokho kuzokuqinisa ikholo lakho bona iLizwi lakaZimu liliqiniso.

Nawuhlola imitlolo le, khumbula bona leyo esiporofido yatlolwa emakhulwini weemnyaka ngaphambi kokobana uJesu abelethwe. UJesu wathi: “Zoke izinto ezitlolwe ngami emthethweni kaMosisi, nemitlolweni yabaporofidi, nemaRhalanini kufanele zizaliseke.” (Luka 24:44) Njengombana iBhayibhili itjengisa ngokukhanyako, zazaliseka—kiyo yoke into!
