Makina oyankha

Nditayamba kumwa mankhwala akhungu, ndinauzidwa kuti odwala atatu mwa odwala khumi sanayankhepo mankhwalawo. Sindinaganizepo kuti mankhwala akhoza kumwedwa pachabe ndikuyembekeza kukhala m'modzi mwa asanu ndi awiri amwayi. Ndikanakonda adotolo sanandifotokozere chifukwa zimandidetsa nkhawa kuti nditha kuwononga nthawi ndi ndalama zanga ndikuyika zotsatira zoyipa. Kumapeto kwa mwezi wachiwiri wa chithandizo, dokotalayo anati akumwetulira: Ndiwe woyankha! Muzamankhwala, woyankha ndi wodwala yemwe amayankha mankhwala monga momwe amayembekezera. Zinagwira ntchito, ndinali womasuka komanso wokondwa nazo.

Mfundo yolumikizirana pakati pa mankhwala ndi odwala imatha kutumizidwanso ku ubale wathu ndi anzathu. Ngati amuna anga sayankha funso langa ndikuwerenga mu nyuzipepala yake, ndiye kuti zili ngati mankhwala omwe samayankha.
Mfundo yoyambitsa ndi zotsatira imawonekeranso ndi Mulungu Mlengi komanso chilengedwe chake. Kuyanjana, machitidwe obwereza a Mulungu ndi umunthu, adawululidwa m'njira zosiyanasiyana mu Chipangano Chakale. Nthawi zambiri anthu amachita ndi mantha, nthawi zina amamvera ndipo makamaka osamvera. Mu Chipangano Chatsopano, Mulungu anaululidwa mwa umunthu wa Yesu. Atsogoleri achipembedzo adayankha mosakhulupirira ndipo amafuna kuti amuphe chifukwa adawopseza mbiri yawo.

Kodi Mulungu angatani ndi zimenezi? Dziko lisanakhazikitsidwe, Mulungu adakonza dongosolo la chipulumutso kwa ife anthu. Amatikonda pamene tinali ochimwa ndi adani ake. Amatifikira ngakhale sitikufuna kuti atifikire. Chikondi chake chilibe malire ndipo sichitha.
Mtumwi Paulo akusonyeza chikondi cha Mulungu, chomwe chimatikhudza ife mofanana. Yesu anati: “Lamulo langa ndi ili, kuti mukondane wina ndi mnzake monga momwe ndakukonderani inu.” (Johannes 15,12). Kodi tiyenera kuyankha bwanji chikondi changwirochi?

Tili ndi ufulu wosankha momwe tingayankhire kwa Mzimu Woyera tsiku lililonse. Vuto ndilakuti, nthawi zina timayankha bwino, ndipo nthawi zina sitiyankha bwino. Koma pankhani ya ubale wathu ndi Mulungu, sitiyenera kuiwala chinthu chimodzi—Yesu ndiye woyankha bwino kwambiri. Amayankha, ngakhale pamene mayankho athu ali ofooka. Ndicho chifukwa chake Paulo analemba kuti: “Pakuti mmenemo chilungamo cha Mulungu chawululidwa—chilungamo chochokera m’chikhulupiriro kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto. Monga kwalembedwa, ‘Olungama adzakhala ndi moyo ndi chikhulupiriro.’” (Römer 1,17).

Chikhulupiriro ndi yankho ku chikondi cha Mulungu, yemwe ndi munthu, Yesu Khristu. “Chifukwa chake tsanzirani Mulungu, monga ana okondedwa, ndi kuyenda m’chikondi, monganso Khristu anatikonda ife, nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife, chopereka ndi nsembe ya fungo lokoma kwa Mulungu.” (Epheser 5,1-2).
Yesu ndiye "mankhwala" omwe timamwa kuti athane ndi vuto lauchimo. Iye anayanjanitsa anthu onse kwa Mulungu kudzera mu mwazi wake ndi imfa. Chifukwa chake simuyenera kudzifunsa nokha ngati ndinu m'modzi mwa atatu kapena asanu ndi awiri omwe samayankha, koma mutha kukhala otsimikiza kuti mwa Yesu anthu onse akuyankha.
