Uhlelo Lwamahhala Lokufunda nokuthandaza okuhlobene ne U-Isaya 9:3

Kulolu hlelo lokufunda sizobheka u-Isaya 9 futhi sifunde ngamaChristmas Corrie ten Boom agujwa ebuntwaneni bakhe; ngaphambi kwesikhathi sempi nasekamu lokuhlushwa eRavensbrück 1944. UCorrie wabhala ngalabo Khisimusi ngokwakhe encwadini ethi ‘Corrie’s Christmas Memories’ (1976).

Kwabanye, isikhathi sikaKhisimusi singagcwala usizi, ubunzima, ubuhlungu, nokuhlukana. Nokho uKhisimusi ugubha ukuthi uNkulunkulu waba umuntu futhi wangena phakathi nezwe lethu elilimazayo, elithukuthele, elinesiphithiphithi ukuze asilethele ukuthula—ukuthula phakathi kwabantu futhi, okubaluleke nakakhulu, ukuthula noNkulunkulu. Hlanganyela nathi kulesi sikhathi seAdvent sibheke ukuthula okulethwa uKristu.

Qala isiko elisha likaKhisimusi ngokusonta okungekona okwesiko kwisizini ye-Advent. Usuku olukahle lokuqala lo mdlalo lungomhla ka-1 Disemba, kuyilapho ukuqala kwangaphambilini kuvumela ijubane elinethezekile. Kufaka phakathi imibuzo yokuzindla kanye nezinyathelo zesenzo zokugxila kuKristu usuku ngalunye. Ilungele abantu ngabanye, imindeni, noma amaqembu amancane.

Kwabanye, uKhisimusi uyisikhathi senjabulo nokugubha. Kwabanye, kuyisikhumbuzo esibuhlungu salokho okulahlekile. Akukhathalekile ukuthi uhlangabezana nani kulesi sikhathi samaholide, uKhisimusi uyithuba lokugxila emthonjeni wethemba lethu. Sikumema ukuthi ujoyine abasebenzi baseNorth Point ezinsukwini ezingu-25 ezizayo njengoba sihlangana ukuze sijabulele umlingo kaKhisimusi. Joyina ingxoxo usebenzisa i-#NPDevo.
