UYesu Uba NguMesiya
UYohane wayeshumayela esithi: ‘Oyena mkhulu kunam uyeza.’ Xa uYesu wayeneminyaka emalunga ne-30, wasuka eGalili waya kuMlambo iYordan apho uYohane wayebhaptiza abantu khona. Wayefuna ukubhaptizwa nguYohane kodwa yena wathi: ‘Ayindim ofanele akubhaptize. Nguwe ofanele abhaptize mna.’ UYesu wathi: ‘UYehova ufuna undibhaptize.’ Bangena ke kuMlambo iYordan waza uYohane wamntywilisa.
Akuphuma emanzini, uYesu wathandaza. Kanye ngelo xesha, amazulu avuleka, kwehla umoya oyingcwele ovela kuThixo ufana nehobe. UYehova wathetha esezulwini wathi: “UnguNyana wam endimthandayo, nondivuyisayo.”
Xa umoya kaYehova wahlala phezu koYesu, waba nguKristu okanye uMesiya. Wayeza kuqalisa ukwenza oko uYehova wayemthume ukuba akwenze emhlabeni.
Emva kokuba ebhaptiziwe, uYesu waya entlango waza wahlala apho iintsuku eziyi-40. Akubuya, waya kubona uYohane. Njengoko wayesondela kuye uYohane wathi: ‘Le yiMvana kaThixo esusa isono sehlabathi.’ Xa wathetha le nto, uYohane wayechazela abantu ukuba uYesu nguMesiya. Uyayazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kuYesu xa wayesentlango? Masive.
“Kwavakala ilizwi livela emazulwini lisithi: ‘UnguNyana wam endimthandayo, nondivuyisayo.’”—Marko 1:11
