Mawu okha
Nthawi zina ndimakonda kuyenda ulendo woimba nyimbo zakale. Kugunda kwakale kwa Bee Gees kuyambira m'ma 1960 kunandibweretsa kumutu wanga wa lero ndikumvetsera kumasuliridwa kwa "Mawu". "Ndi mawu okha, ndipo mawu ndi omwe ndikuyenera kuti ndipindule nawo mtima."
Kodi nyimbo zingakhale zotani popanda mawu? Olemba nyimbo Schubert ndi Mendelssohn analemba zingapo za 'Nyimbo zopanda Mawu', koma sindingathe kukumbukira iliyonse mwa iwo makamaka. Kodi misonkhano yathu ingakhale yotani popanda mawu? Tikamaimba nyimbo zatsopano, timatchera khutu ku mawuwo, ngakhale kuti nyimboyo siigwira mtima kwambiri. Zolankhula zodziwika bwino, maulaliki okhudza mtima, mabuku abwino kwambiri, ndakatulo zolimbikitsa, ngakhale owongolera maulendo, nkhani za ofufuza ndi nthano zonse zili ndi chinthu chimodzi chofanana: mawu. Yesu, Mpulumutsi wodabwitsa wa anthu onse, amatchedwa "Logos" kapena "Mawu." Akhristu amatchula Baibulo kuti ndi Mawu a Mulungu.
Chilankhulo chidaperekedwanso kwa ife anthu panthawi yolenga. Mulungu analankhula mwachindunji ndi Adamu ndi Hava, ndipo mosakayikira nawonso analankhulana. Satana adagwiritsa ntchito mawu oyesa kuti akope mtima wa Eva, ndipo adabwereza m'mawu osinthidwa pang'ono kukhala a Adamu. Zotsatira zake zinali zowopsa, kungonena zochepa.
Pambuyo pa Chigumula, anthu onse ankalankhula chinenero chimodzi. Kulankhulana pakamwa kunali kofunika kwambiri pokonzekera nsanjayo, yomwe inali “kufika kumwamba”. Koma zimenezi zinali zosemphana kwenikweni ndi lamulo la Mulungu lakuti muchulukane ndi kudzaza dziko lapansi, choncho anaganiza zothetsa “kupita patsogolo” kwa “kupita patsogolo”. adachita bwanji zimenezo? Iye anasokoneza kalankhulidwe kawo, moti analephera kumvetsa mawu a wina ndi mnzake.
Koma chiyambi chatsopano chidabwera ndi Pangano Latsopano. Magulu ambiri a anthu ochokera kumayiko osiyanasiyana adabwera ku Yerusalemu ndipo adasonkhana patsiku la Pentekoste kudzachita chikondwererochi. Mwambowo unachitika Yesu atapachikidwa ndi kuukitsidwa. Onse omwe adamva zomwe Peter amalankhula patsikuli adadabwa pomumva akulalikira uthenga wabwino mchilankhulo chawo! Kaya chozizwitsacho chinali kumva kapena kulankhula, vuto la chilankhulo lidachotsedwa. Anthu zikwi zitatu adazindikira zokwanira kuti athe kulapa ndikukhululukidwa. Ndilo tsiku lomwe Mpingo unayamba.
Kuthana ndi lilime
Mawu amatha kupweteka kapena kuchiritsa, kukhumudwitsa kapena kuchititsa chidwi. Yesu atayamba utumiki wake, anthu anadabwa kwambiri ndi mawu abwino amene ankatuluka m’kamwa mwake. Kenako, ophunzira ena atatembenuka, Yesu anafunsa ophunzira aja kuti: “Kodi inunso mukufuna kupita?” Simoni Petulo, yemwe nthawi zambiri ankasowa chonena, anamuyankha kuti: “Ambuye, tipite kuti? Inu muli nawo mawu a moyo wosatha.” ( Yoh 6,67-68).
Kalata ya Yakobo ili ndi kanthu konena za kagwiritsidwe ntchito ka lilime. James akuyerekezera ndi khunguni lomwe ndi lokwanira kuyatsa nkhalango yonse. Kuno ku South Africa tikudziwa bwino! Mawu ochepa onyoza pazanema akhoza kuyambitsa nkhondo yamawu yomwe imayambitsa chidani, ziwawa, ndi udani.
Ndiye kodi Akhristu tiyenera kuchita chiyani ndi mawu athu? Malinga ngati ndife thupi ndi magazi, sitingathe kuchita zimenezi mwangwiro. Yakobo analemba kuti: “Koma amene salephera pa mawu ake ndi munthu wangwiro.” (Yakobo 3,2). Pakhala pali munthu mmodzi yekha amene anali wangwiro; palibe aliyense wa ife amene amachita bwino. Yesu ankadziwa nthawi yoyenera kunena zinthu komanso nthawi yoti akhale chete. Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anayesa mobwerezabwereza “kum’gwira m’mawu ake,” koma analephera.
Tikhoza kupempha m’pemphero kuti tiziuza ena choonadi mwachikondi. Chikondi nthawi zina chimakhala "chikondi cholimba" pakufunika kuyankhula. Kungatanthauzenso kulingalira za mmene ena angakhudzire ena ndi kupeza mawu oyenerera.
Ndimakumbukira bwino pamene ndinali mwana ndipo bambo anga anandiuza kuti: “Ndili ndi mawu ndi iwe.” Zimenezo zikanangotanthauza kuti chidzudzulo chidzatsatira, koma pamene anafuula kuti, “Simuchita kapena kunena mawu!” ndiye kuti nthaŵi zambiri amatero. kutanthauza chinthu chabwino.
Yesu akutitsimikizira kuti: “Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzachoka; koma mawu anga sadzapita” (Mat4,35). Lemba limene ndimalikonda kwambiri lili kumapeto kwa Bukhu la Chivumbulutso, pamene limanena kuti Mulungu adzapanga zinthu zonse kukhala zatsopano, kumwamba kwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano mmene sipadzakhalanso imfa, chisoni, kulira, kapena chowawitsa. Yesu analamula Yohane kuti: “Lemba, pakuti mawu awa ndi oona ndi otsimikizirika!” (Chiv1,4-5). Mawu a Yesu, komanso Mzimu Woyera wokhala mwa ife, ndi zonse zomwe tili nazo komanso zomwe timafunikira kuti tilowe mu ufumu waulemerero wa Mulungu.
