Ibyumweru by’iyi minsi, Kiliziya yizihiza Umunsi Mukuru w’Igaragazwa ry’Imana (Epiphany). Kuri uyu munsi mukuru, Kristo yaje ku Ruzi rwa Yorodani kugira ngo abatizwe na Yohani Umubatiza. Igihe Yohani yamubonaga, yaravuze ati:
“Mwami, sinakwiriye no kurekura imishumi y’inkweto zawe. Ese ni wowe uje kubatizwa nanjye?”
Ariko Umwami wacu Yezu aramubwira ati: “Reka bibe bityo ubu.”
Maze Roho Mutagatifu amanuka ameze nk’inuma, amutura kuri Kristo, humvikana ijwi riturutse mu ijuru rivuga riti:
“Uyu ni Umwana wanjye nkunda, anejeje.”
Naduhabwe n’Umwami wacu Yezu urugero, ko binyuze mu mubatizo mba umwana we, kandi Imana ikaba Data.
The Church celebrates the Feast of Epiphany these days. On this feast, Christ came to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. When John saw Him, he said,
“Lord, I am not worthy to loosen the straps of Your sandals. Are You coming to be baptized by me?”
But our Lord Jesus said to him, “Permit it now.”
Then the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and rested upon Christ, and a voice was heard from heaven saying,
“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
May our Lord Jesus Himself give us an example that through baptism I become His child, and God becomes my Father.
