Gawo lachikhulupiriro

Iwo anali mabwenzi a Yesu Khristu ndipo iye ankakonda kwambiri Marita, Mariya ndi Lazaro. Iwo ankakhala ku Betaniya, makilomita ochepa kuchokera ku Yerusalemu. Iwo analimbikitsidwa ndi mawu ake, zochita zake ndi zozizwitsa zake kuti akhulupirire mwa iye ndi uthenga wake wabwino.

Chikondwerero cha Paskha chitangotsala pang’ono kuchitika, alongo aŵiriwo anapempha Yesu kuti awathandize chifukwa Lazaro anali kudwala. Iwo ankakhulupirira kuti Yesu akanakhala nawo akhoza kuwachiritsa. Pomwe Jezu na anyakupfunza wace adabva nkhaniyo, iye adawauza kuti: ‘Kutendaku kulibe kupha, koma kuti Mwana wa munthu alemekezedwe. Iye anawafotokozera kuti Lazaro anali m’tulo, koma zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti wamwalira. Yesu anawonjezera kuti uwu ndi mwayi woti aliyense atengepo gawo latsopano m’chikhulupiriro.

Tsopano Yesu anapita ndi ophunzira ake ku Betaniya, kumene Lazaro anakhala m’manda kwa masiku anayi. Yesu atafika, Marita anamuuza kuti: “Mlongo wanga wamwalira. Koma ngakhale tsopano ndidziwa: chimene mudzapempha kwa Mulungu, adzakupatsani.” Chotero Marita anachitira umboni kuti Yesu anali ndi dalitso la Atate ndipo anamva yankho lake: “Mlongo wako adzaukitsidwa, pakuti Ine ndine kuuka ndi moyo; Iye amene akhulupirira Ine adzakhala ndi moyo ngakhale amwalira, ndipo iye amene ali ndi moyo ndi kukhulupirira mwa Ine sadzafa konse. Mukuganiza kuti?" Iye anati kwa iye: “Inde, Ambuye, ndikukhulupirira.”

Pambuyo pake, pamene Yesu anaima ndi olira maliro patsogolo pa manda a Lazaro ndi kuwalamula kuti achotse mwala, Yesu anapempha Marita kuti atengenso gawo lina la chikhulupiriro. "Ngati mukhulupirira, mudzawona ulemerero wa Mulungu." Yesu anayamika Atate wake chifukwa chomumva nthawi zonse ndipo anafuula ndi mawu okweza kuti, "Lazaro, tuluka!" Womwalirayo anatsatira kuyitanidwa kwa Yesu, anatuluka m'manda, ndipo anakhala ndi moyo (kuyambira Johannes 11).

Ndi mawu ake akuti: “Ine ndine kuuka ndi moyo,” Yesu analengeza kuti iye ndi Ambuye wa imfa ndi moyo weniweniwo. Marita ndi Mariya anakhulupirira Yesu ndipo anaona umboniwo pamene Lazaro anatuluka m’manda.

Patapita masiku angapo, Yesu anafa pa mtanda kuti alipire machimo athu. Kuukitsidwa kwake ndi chozizwitsa chachikulu. Yesu ali moyo ndipo akukulimbikitsani kuti nayenso adzakutchulani dzina ndipo mudzaukitsidwa. Chikhulupiriro chanu mu kuuka kwa Yesu chimakutsimikizirani kuti inunso mudzachita nawo chiukiriro chake.
