Mi tampui in, “Pathian kin hnenah um i” tihnak khiah Christmas caan ah a thar in hih leh sal de ising. Ciami khiah a dikhnak hmun tampui um i. Ikhalselai kin ling ṭiotuh kul hnak pakhat tu zai i tifang in Pa Pathian heh Christmas caan fang ian in kinte hnenah a thar an um thar leh i lo ai kinmah hnehah cat loin um ṭio zo i, tihnak khiah hih ṭio, ling ṭio tuh kin kul ngai i.
1. Kin hnenah um tuhin Pathian zuktolh i.
Pathian le minung lak ah kin hladun ngai napui khaw Pathian amah rori minung hnenah zuktolh fangin hmunkhat ah um tlang thil leh ising. Hemi thu khiah hlanlai kum tampui in pan rel awng zohnak thu i. Profet Isaiah in, “Tun in, BAWIPA amah rori in hnikhnaihhnak khiah ning hnenah ning pe tuh i. Fenu niu pakhat in nau pai ngai khaw, fapa nai tuh i. Ciami fapa khiah a hming Immanuel ti in bawn tuh i” ti’n Pathian kin hnenah um tuh daan rel cia zo i (Isa. 7:14). Hlanlai kum raipui lai in pan Profet Mikah in khai, “Maw Bethlehem Efratah khua, Judah peng ah nangmah khiah khua cik niu le khua hnawm niu ber inapui sikhaw, nangmah songin Israel mite uktu Bawipa khiah lar tuh ilai. ciami Bawipa khiah hlanlai laivum pan ngom ai pan awng zohnak i” ti’n rel ve i (Mikah 5:2). Bethlehem khua ai a suaktu nauniu khiah nauniu menma ilo ai, hlanlai kum raipui in pan a um pan zotu Otu Bawi i. Ikhalselai ciati’n kum raipui song rel awng zohnak nauniu a suak peupeu fangin mi tampui in zaikhai siar veng lo i. Minung hnenah um tuh in a zuktolh tu Pathian khiah zaikhai siar tlang lo i. A thu ling hiam loin um menma tlang i.
Tunnia ah cia ang pah in Pathian kinmah hnenah um i, ti a ling lotu sangtu tampui um pang aw sing? ti khiah phaniu in ruat tlang kul ising. Kin hnenah um tuhin Pathian zuktolh peupeu i ti khiah sang thil peupeu hang tuh lo ising? Maw sang nuam loin um rih hlen tuh ising? Mi tampui in Pathian kin hnenah um peupeu i, tihnak khiah hai tlang de ising? ilole khaw co thil peupeu lo ising? Saw kin ngen de fangin Pathian khiah khuahlapui ah um ang in kin ponka hmang de ising. Kin sawngen daan heti’n ngen de ising: “Maw Bawipa, tun in pan nangmah biahnak hampan tuh hang man in kin hnenah kin umpui tu law…” ti’n Pathian kin hnenah um tuh in sawm de ising. Kin khelh i, ti’n ti lo ing. He ang kin sawngen daan phaniu in ruat le singkhaw Pathian khiah kinmah in sawm fang ian kin hnenah um tuh ang in lang thil ising. I pan lo awm? Ikhalselai Pathian tu kinmah hnenah um ṭio tuh in hlanlai kum tampui in pan ling awng zo hang ising. Ciaman in saw kin ngen fangin heti’n ngen sawn hang sing lai: “Maw Bawipa, tun nangmah bia hnak ham pan hang kin iman kin hnenah um ṭio isi ti khiah a thar in kin ling ruai tu law…”, ti’n ngen sawn sing lai phatuh i, ti’n ruat ing.
Patian ai a ihnak pakhat khiah theological ponka hmang le sing khaw “omni presence” ti ile a sullam tu “kon zong khuaha ah vaikhat pah in um siotu Pathian” tihnak i. Ciaman in Pathian khiah kinma’n sawm fang ian in kin hnenah umtu Pathian ilo i. Kin hnenah kumzangza um ṭiotu Pathian sawn i. Kin sawm fang ian kin hnenah um ilo ai kinte in sawm hal lo ai, kin ling lo lai in khai kin hnenah um ṭiotu sawn i. Hemi thu heh kin ling kul ngaihnak i, ti’n ruat ing. Kinmah in sawmcop man in Pathian in hnenah kawi ilo ai, kin sawm hlanpui, kin ling lo lai in khai kin hnenah um ṭiotu Pathian i. Zaiman tifang Pathian khiah kinmah minung te hnenah um tuh in vancung songlawihnak hmuah hlum ai zuktolh zo ihang.
2. Pathian in kin lauhnak te pawl in lonsah sio i.
Hampalak ai tuukhal te pawl kih le lauhnak thawn dim ai a um tlang teng fangin vancung nalang te in lau tuh loin thu rel angin tunnia kin hnenah khai kin rel ve i. Kin hnenah um ṭio tuhin zuktolhtu Pathian nai fangin lautuh zaikhai um bul lo i. Zaiman tifangin Pathian khiah ithnak i le ciami ithnak in laukulhnak te veksen pai ruai sio i (1 Joh. 4:18). Kin lauhnak veksen pairuaitu tuh thuthangpha khiah “Ning ca ah Otu suak zo i” tihnak thu i. Jesuh Khrih in khai “Lau veng mah ih” tihnak ponka vai tampui pong i. Ciami in zai laar ruai i tifangin Pathian khiah kinmah hnenah a nongniu ah um tio i, ti laar ruai i.
Thi tuh lau lo aisu um ising? Mi hrekkhat te in thih kih lo ing ti’n pong de ising. Phatakniu in thu ruat le singkhaw thih a lau lo peupeu um tuh lo ising. Ikhalselai Bawipa Jesuh khiah thihhnak nehtu Bawi iman in thihhnak huham cakhnak vum ah thunaitu khai i. Sualhnak thukhan tuh kin lau awm? Kin sangtu te ca laukul lo i; zaiman tifangin Bawi Jesuh khiah misual mimawh kinmahte ca ai Otu iman in sangtu te ca lautuh zaikhai um lo i. Paul in, “Zaiman tifangin Pathian pehnak Rauhla in ralhut tuh in kin bawn lo i; cakhnak huham, ithnak le mah le mah ukdun benhnak thawn kin dim ruai sawn i”, ti i (2 Tim. 1:7). Baibal Lai Cianghlim in lautuh zaikhai um lo i, ti’n tun le tun kin zirh ṭio de i. Sangtu te ca tha kin kho ruai ṭiotu ponka i.
Lai Cianghlim song kin siar fangin Pathian in lauhnak nai veng tuh loin vai tampui kin zirh de i. Baibal thu thiamngai te in, “kih mah, lau mah, aican in um mah” tihnak ponka a veksen vai 365 tian um i, ti’n rel i. Ciami ai sullam tu zai i tifang in, kumpui kum khat songah ni 365 um ile nisiar Bawipa Pathian in lau tuh loin thazaang kin pe ṭio de i, ti khiah ling thil ising. Zaiman tifangin kin biahnak Pathian khiah, “Mania, tunnia, thaininghla, zaikom in khai hlengdun awng lo Pathian i” (Heb. 13:8). Kin nunhnak ah Pathian rauhla an kin uk peupeu lekhaw kih tuh, lau tuh zaikhai um lo i. Ciami kih le lau kulhnak veksen khiah Pathian in kin lon sah sio zo ihang. Cen Amah ai a pehnak huham cakhnak thawn zaizongza ti benhnak thazaang khai nai ising (Fil. 4:13). Immanuel Pathian in kin lauhnak veksen kin lonsah sio zo ihang.
3. Uumhnak thar kin nai ruai i.
Christmas khiah ummhnak thar kin nai leh caan i. Kin hnenah kin umpuitu Pathian man in uumhnak zai ruai i. San tluanthu hampanhnak ai umtu Pathian khiah san tluanthu a bohnak ah khai um ṭio hlen tuh i. Kin biahnak Pathian in kin thinlung songai hnoksakhnak te khiah kin selsah sio i. Bawipa ai konghoihnak cotu te khiah zai tluk in uumhnak bo lio in um khal selai Amah in thazaang thar pe leh de i. “Miniu pawl rin cawl ngai tuh ai tlangval te khai a tha bo ai sawn tuh i. Ikhalselai Bawipa a rinsantu te khiah a tha kol leh tuh i. Muvanlai angin a hlapharh ai zuang tuh i. Dawp in khai a thazaang cawl tuh veng lo i; fehvak hnelhno in khai a thazaang bo in sawn awng tuh lo i” (Is. 40:30-31). Emau lampui vumah thinnau ngai ai a umtu sangtu pahnih te khai uumhnak bo lio in um napui khaw “Lampui kin feh kawm lai ai kin hnen ai pong lai le Lai Cianghlim thu kin fian tuh in rel lai tengfang kin songlam in maikang ang in um peu ilo ising?” (Luk. 24:32) ti’n amah te veve hmu dun leh ai uumhnak khai cak leh sal i, ti’n siar de ising.
Minung kin iman in vai tampui tu kin nun cawl le rimsu ze in kin um caan tampui um tuh i. Kin tithil tawp suahin kin kang hnelhno in khai phathnemhnak zaikhai um lo caan tampui um tuh de i. Ikhalselai Pathian kin hnenah cat loin um ṭio i, ti ling le sing khaw kin thin dap hluanghlo tuh i. Kin uumhnak khai suak leh ai kin nung sungso tuh i.
Thutawpnak
Christmas tihnak heh Pathian minung hnenah zuktolh i, tihnak thuthangpha i. Cia lek zolo kih le laukulhnak kin naihnak veksen kin lonsah sio tavum hmailam ca thuruat pha uumhnak thar kin nai ruai i. Kin lampui thim khiah kumzangza tleuhnak thawn in rol sah fawn i. Kin nun lampui khiah cat loin tleu ruai i.
Kinmah thawn kumkhua um tuh in Pathian kawi zo i. Jesuh vanvum a kai dawn fangin, “Cen i thupehnak veksen hlun tuh in zirh tu ih. Hai veng mah ih, san bo hlan lo ning hneah cat loin um tui ṭio ing.” ti’n kin tiam i (Mat. 28:20). Ciaman in Pathian kin hnenah um ṭio i, tikhaih ling ṭio nga sing. Kin thinlung khai hiam ngai in amah rinsan kongin nung le singkhaw kin thazaang kol leh tuh ai laukulhnak veksen pai tui sio i. Pathian rinsantu te khaih zaikom in khai Pathian in hmuifu burh ṭio i.
