Ubale: chitsanzo cha Khristu
"Pakuti mwa lamulo ndinafa ku lamulo, kuti ndikhale ndi moyo kwa Mulungu. Ndapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Khristu; sindilinso ndi moyo, koma Khristu ali ndi moyo mwa ine. Moyo umene ndili nawo tsopano m'thupi, ndili ndi moyo mwa chikhulupiriro cha Mwana wa Mulungu, amene anandikonda nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ine." (Gal 2,19-20).
Mu mpingo wa ku Korinto munali mavuto aakulu auzimu. Iye anali tchalitchi cha mphatso zambiri, koma kumvetsa kwake uthenga wabwino kunawonongeka. Mwachionekere panali “mwazi woipa” pakati pa Akorinto ndi Paulo. Ena anakayikira uthenga wa mtumwiyo ndi ulamuliro wake. Panalinso malire pakati pa abale ndi alongo omwe anali a magulu osiyanasiyana. “Mgonero wa Ambuye” umene iwo “anachitira” unali wapadera. Olemera anapatsidwa chisamaliro chapadera pamene ena sanapatsidwe nawo mbali kwenikweni. Kugaŵana kwawo kunali kosagwirizana ndi chitsanzo cha Yesu ndi kuswa mzimu wa uthenga wabwino.
Ngakhale kuti Yesu Khristu ndi wofunika kwambiri pa chikondwerero cha Mgonero wa Ambuye, sitiyenera kunyalanyaza kufunika kwa mgwirizano wa thupi la okhulupirira. Ngati tili amodzi mwa Yesu, tiyeneranso kukhala amodzi wina ndi mnzake. Pamene Paulo ankanena za kuzindikira thupi la Ambuye, (1. Kor 11,29)Iye analinso ndi mfundo imeneyi m'maganizo mwake. Baibulo limanena za ubale. Kudziwa Ambuye si kungochita zinthu mwanzeru. Kuyenda kwathu tsiku ndi tsiku ndi Khristu kuyenera kukhala koona mtima, kolimba, komanso koona. Nthawi zonse tingadalire Yesu. Timamukonda. Kuseka kwathu, nkhawa zathu—Iye amaona zonse. Chikondi cha Mulungu chikakhudza miyoyo yathu ndipo tikalawa chisomo chake chakumwamba chosaneneka, maganizo ndi zochita zathu zimatha kusintha. Tikufuna kukhala anthu oyera omwe Mpulumutsi wathu adawaona. Inde, timavutika ndi machimo athu. Koma mwa Khristu, talengezedwa kuti ndife olungama. Kudzera mu umodzi wathu ndi kutenga nawo mbali mwa Iye, timayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu. Mwa Iye, tayeretsedwa ndi kulungamitsidwa, ndipo chotchinga chomwe chinatilekanitsa ndi Mulungu chachotsedwa. Tikachimwa monga mwa thupi, Mulungu nthawi zonse amakhala wokonzeka kukhululukira. Popeza tayanjanitsidwa ndi Mlengi wathu, timafunanso kuyanjanitsidwa wina ndi mnzake.
Ena a ife mwina tikulimbana ndi kusagwirizana komwe kwachuluka pakati pa okwatirana, ana, achibale, mabwenzi, kapena anansi. Nthawi zina izi zimakhala zovuta. Kunyada kolakwika kungatitsekereze. Pamafunika kudzichepetsa. Yesu amakonda kuona anthu akuyesetsa kukhala ogwilizana ngati n’kotheka. Pamene Yesu Khristu adzabweranso—chochitika cholankhulidwa pa sakramenti—tidzakhala amodzi ndi Iye. Palibe chimene chingatilekanitse ife ndi chikondi chake ndipo tidzakhala otetezeka m’chisamaliro chake chosamalira muyaya. Tikufuna kufikira anthu ovulala m’dziko lino ndi kuchita mbali yathu kuti ufumu wa Mulungu uwonekere m’mbali zonse za moyo lerolino. Mulungu kwa ife, ndi ife ndi kupyolera mwa ife.
