"Kugira ngo Kristo yambare umubiri wacu, igice c'isi tukandagirako. Ewe kwicisha bugufi kutagira iherezo! Ukwicisha bugufi kwa Kristo kwari imwe mu ntambwe zo hasi cane zo gucisha bugufi kwiwe. Yaricishije bugufi cane mu kuryama mu nda y'isugi kuruta mu kumanika ku musaraba. Ntivyari vyinshi kubera umuntu, ariko ntivyari bitangaje kubera umuntu."
Aya ni yo majambo witega kwumva mw’ishengero, ariko atari mu kibanza c’ubudandaji. N’ikindi gitangaje kuruta, abaririmvyi baririmba ntibari abaririmvyi b’abakirisu, ahubwo bari inyenyeri z’umuziki w’isi witwa pop. Ese ukuntu bitangaje kubona buri kwezi kwa Kigarama, mbere n’abantu bazwi cane bo mw’isi bikunda cane, b’abanyavyaha, bavuga amajambo yo gusenga Yezu Kristu! Imvo y’Igihe? Ariko muri iyi Noweli, noshima gutanga imvo yihariye kuruta y’igihe ca Noweli. Intumbero ya Noweli si iyo kwibuka gusa ko Imana yabaye umuntu mu kuvuka ari uruyoya, ahubwo ni iyo gusenga Imana kubera ico kintu. Gusenga Kristo kubera ivuka ryiwe, atari ukwemera gusa ivuka rya Kristo, ni co gisobanuro nyaco ca Noweli. Gusenga mu nkuru z'ivuka . Ariko none ugusenga ni iki? Akenshi dufatanya ugusenga n’igikorwa co ku musi w’Imana canke ikinyamakuru co ku maradiyo. Abakristo benshi barazi ko bakwiye gusenga ariko ntibamenya neza ingene bosenga. Mu nkuru zibiri zivuga kuri Noweli dusanga muri Matayo 1-2 no muri Luka 1:5-2:40, ugusenga kurafise uruhara runini. Si Ivyanditswe gusa bitunganya inkuru ya Noweli bishingiye ku ndirimbo zo gusenga (Indirimbo ya Mariya [Luka 1:46-55], Indirimbo ya Zekariya [Luka 1:67-79], Indirimbo y’Abamarayika [Luka 2:14], Indirimbo ya Simeyoni [Luka 2:29-20]), ariko zibiri zitandukanye zikoresha indirimbo za Mathewly na Luka 2:29-31. n’ugudondora ubwoko bw’ugusenga kuba kuri Noweli ya mbere. Kubera ko Bibiliya ihitamwo gushira imbere ugusenga kuri Noweli, n’abakirisu ni ko bakwiye kubigira. Mu gutahura uburyo Matayo na Luka badondora ugusenga mu nkuru zabo z’Adventi, abemera muri iki gihe barashobora gutahura neza ingene basenga Kristo kuri Noweli, no mu bindi bihe vyose vyo mu mwaka. (1) Gusenga nk’ukwicisha bugufi . Riboneka muri Matayo 2:2, 8, na 11 kandi risobanura gupfukama, canke gupfukama imbere y’uwundi muntu. Muri iki gihe, turagorwa no gutahura akamaro ko gupfukama. Benshi muri twebwe ntitwokwigera twiryamira hasi dupfutse amaso, naho twohura na Prezida canke uwo mu muryango w’Ubwami. Mu bihe vya kera, ubutaka bwari bufitaniye isano n’umwanda, urupfu be n’ubuhumane. Ukwoza ibirenge cari igikorwa c’umusuku wo hasi (Yohana 13:1-5). Gushira umubiri wose, harimwo n’isura, ku kintu gihumanye imbere y’uko umuntu aserura icipfuzo co kwicisha bugufi. Ryemeye ko umuntu yari imbere y’uwusenga yari akomeye cane, ko inyishu yonyene yumvikana yari iyo kuba nk’umwanda. Igihe Abamaji—bashobora kuba bari bavuye i Babiloni kandi bari bazi neza ivy’ubwami (Dan. 2:48; Mat. 2:1), baza kuri uwo muhungu Yezu, Matayo avuga ko “bapfukamye bamusenga.” Uko wokwicisha bugufi Uko ni ko n’abakristo bahamagawe muri iki gihe gusenga Kristo mu kwicisha bugufi. Ivyo abakirisu babigira mu buryo nyamukuru bubiri: gusenga no gukunda abandi. Isengesho ryigisha abemera gupfukama imbere y’Umukama mu vy’impwemu mu kubibutsa ko ivyiza vyose biva ku Mana (Yakobo 1:17), kandi ko nk’uko umwana ashikana kuri se, abakristo bakwiye kuzana ivyipfuzo vyabo ku Mukama (Yakobo 1:5; Luka 11:9-13). Igikorwa kijanye n’umubiri co gupfukama no gufunga amaso, naho bitari ngombwa mu gusenga, kirafasha gutera imbere ico ciyumviro co gusenga (Luka 8:13-14; Mat. 6:5-9). Mu buryo nk’ubwo, gukunda abandi, cane cane abo dusangiye ukwizera, bitwibutsa umukirisu kwiyumvira bike, akabona abandi n’ikigongwe c’impuhwe nk’uko Kristu ababona. Mu majambo Paulo yandikiye Abafilipi, “Ntimugire ico mukora mu kwipfuza ubukuru canke mu kwibona, ariko mwicishije bugufi, mubone ko abandi babaruta, umwe wese muri mwebwe ntiyiteho inyungu ziwe gusa, ariko yitegereze n’inyungu z’abandi. yafashe ishusho y’umushumba, akavuka asa n’abantu.” Abafilipi 2:3-7. Iyo dukorera abandi mu rukundo, tuba tubaho twisunze inkuru ya Noweli. Nk’uko Kristo yicishije bugufi kugira ngo akunde abandi, ni ko natwe dushobora gusenga Imana mu kwigana urwo rukundo rwo kwicisha bugufi ku bo dukikije.
Iyi Noweli, n’ushire ugusenga mu kiringo c’ibiruhuko vyawe mu kurongora umuryango wawe mu gusenga ubudasiba. Nimwigishe abana banyu gusaba Imana ivyo bo ubwabo bipfuza, hamwe n’ivyo abandi bakeneye. Senga muri uku kwezi kwa Kigarama mu kugira kandi utwigoro twongerekanye two gukorera abandi wicishije bugufi. Nk’umuryango, nimutegurire umubanyi wawe adashobora gutaha, mukore mu gikorwa ca gikirisu co mu karere, mwohereze agasanduku k’inkweto ka Noweli biciye ku Samaritan’s Purse. Tera iteka Umwami aherutse kuvuka mu kwigana ukwicisha bugufi kwiwe.
