„Nem\u00e1m miesto.“ Tieto potupn\u00e9 slov\u00e1 opisuj\u00fa viac ako len hostinec v Betleheme. Rovnako v\u00fdsti\u017ene sa vz\u0165ahuj\u00fa aj na dne\u0161n\u00fd svet. Je smutn\u00e9, \u017ee vo v\u0161etkej zanepr\u00e1zdnenosti na\u0161ich viano\u010dn\u00fdch sviatkov \u013eudia st\u00e1le neurobia miesto pre Je\u017ei\u0161a. Bez toho, aby si to uvedomovali, im ch\u00fdbaj\u00fa Vianoce, rovnako ako v\u00e4\u010d\u0161ine \u013eud\u00ed v Betleheme a jeho okol\u00ed v t\u00fa noc, ke\u010f sa Je\u017ei\u0161 narodil.<\/p>\n
Vedeli ste, \u017ee v\u00e4\u010d\u0161ina \u013eud\u00ed ka\u017edoro\u010dne prep\u00e1sne Vianoce? M\u00f4\u017ee to znie\u0165 dos\u0165 hl\u00fapo, najm\u00e4 v Severnej Amerike, kde sa po\u010das sviatkov top\u00edme v mori viano\u010dn\u00fdch rekl\u00e1m. Napriek tomu som presved\u010den\u00fd, \u017ee v\u00e4\u010d\u0161ine \u013eud\u00ed Vianoce ch\u00fdbaj\u00fa. Dodr\u017eiavaj\u00fa nejak\u00e9 zvyky, preto\u017ee kult\u00fara hovor\u00ed, \u017ee sa to patr\u00ed, ale masy \u013eud\u00ed si absol\u00fatne neuvedomuj\u00fa skuto\u010dnos\u0165 toho, \u010do oslavuj\u00fa. Na tento sviatok sa nabalila tak\u00e1 fant\u00e1zia a m\u00fdtus, \u017ee \u013eudia s\u00fa otupen\u00ed vo\u010di skuto\u010dn\u00e9mu z\u00e1zraku Kristovho narodenia. Legit\u00edmne em\u00f3cie tohto sviatku ust\u00fapili sentiment\u00e1lnemu p\u00f4\u017eitk\u00e1rstvu.<\/p>\n
V jedn\u00fdch novin\u00e1ch som videl dvojstranu, na ktorej \u013eudia z ulice v rozhovoroch vyjadrovali svoj n\u00e1zor na skuto\u010dn\u00fd v\u00fdznam Vianoc. N\u00e1zory sa pohybovali od \u013e\u00fabostn\u00fdch a\u017e po ne\u00factiv\u00e9. Niektor\u00ed boli sentiment\u00e1lni a hovorili, \u017ee Vianoce s\u00fa \u010dasom rodiny, \u010dasom pre deti a podobne. In\u00ed boli humanistick\u00ed a Vianoce vn\u00edmali ako \u010das oslavy l\u00e1sky k bl\u00ed\u017enemu a ducha darovania. In\u00ed boli hrubo hedonistick\u00ed a Vianoce pova\u017eovali len za \u010fal\u0161iu z\u00e1mienku na z\u00e1bavu. Ani jeden \u010dlovek sa nezmienil o nepochopite\u013enom z\u00e1zraku Bo\u017eieho narodenia ako \u013eudsk\u00e9ho die\u0165a\u0165a.<\/p>\n
Ak\u00fdm zm\u00e4tkom s\u00fa Vianoce! Sviatky sme si skomplikovali to\u013ek\u00fdmi trad\u00edciami, humbukom a hyst\u00e9riou, \u017ee n\u00e1m unik\u00e1 \u00fapln\u00e1 jednoduchos\u0165 Kristovho narodenia. Je ironick\u00e9, \u017ee zo v\u0161etk\u00fdch sviatkov sa pr\u00e1ve tento stal najzlo\u017eitej\u0161\u00edm. Niet divu, \u017ee to\u013ek\u00fdm \u013eu\u010fom ch\u00fdbaj\u00fa Vianoce.<\/p>\n
Jedna vec sa v\u0161ak od \u010dias Jozefa a M\u00e1rie nezmenila, preto\u017ee takmer ka\u017ed\u00fd zme\u0161kal aj prv\u00e9 Vianoce. Podobne ako dnes, aj vtedy boli \u013eudia zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00ed, pohlten\u00ed r\u00f4znymi vecami – niektor\u00fdmi d\u00f4le\u017eit\u00fdmi, in\u00fdmi nie – ale takmer v\u0161etk\u00fdm ch\u00fdbal Kristus. Podobnos\u0165 medzi ich a na\u0161\u00edm svetom je zar\u00e1\u017eaj\u00faca. Ka\u017ed\u00fd z t\u00fdchto \u013eud\u00ed m\u00e1 svoj n\u00e1protivok v modernej spolo\u010dnosti.<\/p>\n
Hostinsk\u00fd<\/strong><\/p>\n P\u00edsmo ho konkr\u00e9tne nespom\u00edna, ale v t\u00fa noc v Betleheme sa s hostinsk\u00fdm stretol mu\u017e a jeho tehotn\u00e1 man\u017eelka. Odbil ich so slovami, \u017ee pre nich nem\u00e1 miesto. A tak pri\u0161iel o Vianoce. Nielen\u017ee M\u00e1riu a Jozefa odmietol, ale zrejme ani nikoho nezavolal, aby pomohol mladej matke, ktor\u00e1 sa chystala rodi\u0165.<\/p>\n Luk\u00e1\u0161 2:7 uv\u00e1dza sc\u00e9nu: „I [M\u00e1ria] porodila svojho prvoroden\u00e9ho syna, obvinula Ho plienkami a ulo\u017eila v jasliach, lebo v noc\u013eah\u00e1rni pre nich nebolo miesto.“<\/p>\n Tento ver\u0161 sa v\u00fdslovne t\u00fdka osamel\u00e9ho narodenia. Nie s\u00fa tu \u017eiadne p\u00f4rodn\u00e9 asistentky, v\u00f4bec \u017eiadna pomoc M\u00e1rii. Biblia dokonca ani nespom\u00edna, \u017ee by bol pr\u00edtomn\u00fd Jozef. Mo\u017eno bol, ale ak bol typick\u00fdm otcom prvorodi\u010diek, M\u00e1rii by ve\u013emi nepomohol. Bola v podstate odk\u00e1zan\u00e1 sama na seba.<\/p>\n Tak\u00e9to narodenie nebolo v \u017eidovskej kult\u00fare prv\u00e9ho storo\u010dia ani z\u010faleka typick\u00e9. Neboli to barbarsk\u00ed \u013eudia ani domorod\u00e9 kmene, ktor\u00e9 posielali svoje \u017eeny do d\u017eungle, aby rodili sam\u00e9 na ban\u00e1novom liste. Boli to civilizovan\u00ed, inteligentn\u00ed, vzdelan\u00ed a predov\u0161etk\u00fdm pohostinn\u00ed \u013eudia, ktor\u00fdm ve\u013emi z\u00e1le\u017ealo na \u013eudskom \u017eivote. Bolo by ve\u013emi nezvy\u010dajn\u00e9, keby mlad\u00fa \u017eenu, ktor\u00e1 sa chystala rodi\u0165, odmietli v hostinci a nechali ju rodi\u0165 samu v stajni.<\/p>\n A predsa sa to stalo. M\u00e1ria porodila die\u0165a, zavinula ho do plienok a ulo\u017eila do jasie\u013e! Tam, kde zvy\u010dajne p\u00f4rodn\u00e1 asistentka die\u0165a o\u010distila a zavinula, nebol nikto. M\u00e1ria to urobila sama. A tam, kde by zvy\u010dajne bola kol\u00edska alebo ko\u0161\u00edk pre die\u0165a, tam nebola \u017eiadna. M\u00e1ria ho musela polo\u017ei\u0165 do k\u0155midla.<\/p>\n Campbell Morgan nap\u00edsal:<\/p>\n „Prem\u00fd\u0161\u013eajte o tom, ak\u00e9 je to doj\u00edmav\u00e9. Ulo\u017eila Ho<\/em> a zavinula Ho do plienok<\/em>. Je to ve\u013emi kr\u00e1sne, ale ach, t\u00e1 \u013e\u00fatos\u0165, t\u00e1 trag\u00e9dia, t\u00e1 osamelos\u0165; \u017ee v tej hodine v\u0161etk\u00fdch hod\u00edn, ke\u010f by mala by\u0165 \u017eena obklopen\u00e1 najcitlivej\u0161ou starostlivos\u0165ou, bola sama. Spisovate\u013eova met\u00f3da je ve\u013emi zrete\u013en\u00e1. Vlastn\u00fdmi rukami zavinula Die\u0165atko do plienok a ulo\u017eila ho do jasie\u013e. Nebol nikto, kto by to urobil za \u0148u. Op\u00e4\u0165 hovor\u00edm, \u0161koda toho, a predsa chv\u00e1la pre M\u00e1riino srdce“ (G. Campbell Morgan, Evanjelium pod\u013ea Luk\u00e1\u0161a [The Gospel According to Luke]).<\/p>\n Ako som u\u017e povedal, hostinsk\u00fd sa konkr\u00e9tne nespom\u00edna. V skuto\u010dnosti P\u00edsmo jasne nehovor\u00ed o tom, ak\u00fd druh hostinca Betlehem mal. Gr\u00e9cke slovo prelo\u017een\u00e9 ako „hostinec“ je kataluma. To m\u00f4\u017ee znamena\u0165 „izba pre host\u00ed“, „ubytov\u0148a“ alebo jednoducho „pr\u00edstre\u0161ok“. Hostinec teda mohol by\u0165 \u010doko\u013evek, od plnohodnotn\u00e9ho predchodcu modernej noc\u013eah\u00e1rne a\u017e po pr\u00edstre\u0161ok na niekoho pozemku, ktor\u00fd bol postaven\u00fd na ubytovanie \u013eud\u00ed aj zvierat. P\u00edsmo n\u00e1m okrem jedinej zmienky o hostinci neposkytuje \u017eiadne \u010fal\u0161ie vod\u00edtko. V ka\u017edom pr\u00edpade, nech u\u017e Jozef a M\u00e1ria h\u013eadali ak\u00e9ko\u013evek pohostinstvo, nebolo im dostupn\u00e9. Boli odmietnut\u00ed.<\/p>\n Hostinsk\u00fd mohol by\u0165 majite\u013eom pozemku, na ktor\u00e9ho pozemku sa nach\u00e1dzal neform\u00e1lny pr\u00edstre\u0161ok, alebo mo\u017eno bol hostite\u013eom penzi\u00f3nu. Nech u\u017e to bolo akoko\u013evek, hostinsk\u00fd v Betleheme tie prv\u00e9 Vianoce preme\u0161kal. Bo\u017e\u00ed Syn sa mohol narodi\u0165 u neho. Odmietol v\u0161ak mlad\u00fa matku, ktor\u00e1 sa chystala porodi\u0165 die\u0165a, a tak prep\u00e1sol Vianoce.<\/p>\n Zme\u0161kal ich, preto\u017ee bol zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00fd. Jeho hostinec, izba pre host\u00ed alebo pr\u00edstre\u0161ok bol pln\u00fd. V Betleheme bol \u010das s\u010d\u00edtania \u013eudu a mesto sa hem\u017eilo v\u0161etk\u00fdmi, ktor\u00fdch predkovia boli spojen\u00ed s t\u00fdmto miestom. Betlehem bol D\u00e1vidov\u00fdm mestom, preto mal by\u0165 v \u0148om ka\u017ed\u00fd \u017eij\u00faci D\u00e1vidov potomok spolu s ka\u017edou \u010fal\u0161ou rodinou, ktorej korene siahali do Betlehema. Mesto bolo preplnen\u00e9. Hostinsk\u00fd mal pln\u00e9 ruky pr\u00e1ce. Ni\u010d nenazna\u010duje, \u017ee by bol nepriate\u013esk\u00fd alebo dokonca nesympatick\u00fd. Jednoducho mal ve\u013ea pr\u00e1ce.<\/p>\n Presne ako mili\u00f3ny \u013eud\u00ed dnes. Ich \u017eivoty s\u00fa pohlten\u00e9 \u010dinnos\u0165ou – nie nevyhnutne hrie\u0161nou \u010dinnos\u0165ou, len vecami, ktor\u00e9 ich zamestn\u00e1vaj\u00fa. Na Vianoce s\u00fa \u013eudia obzvl\u00e1\u0161\u0165 zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00ed. Nakupovanie, bankety, ve\u010dierky, koncerty, \u0161kolsk\u00e9 aktivity a in\u00e9 veci – to v\u0161etko s\u00faper\u00ed o pozornos\u0165. A v tom zhluku aktiv\u00edt mnoh\u00fdm zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00fdm \u013eu\u010fom unik\u00e1 Bo\u017e\u00ed Syn.<\/p>\n John MacArthur<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Prelo\u017een\u00e9 z: https:\/\/www.gty.org\/library\/blog\/B121210<\/a><\/p>\n \u010eal\u0161ie \u010dl\u00e1nky s\u00e9rie:<\/strong> „Nem\u00e1m miesto.“ Tieto potupn\u00e9 slov\u00e1 opisuj\u00fa viac ako len hostinec v Betleheme.
