Mariya, amake wa Yesu

Kukhala mayi ndi mwayi wapadera kwambiri kwa akazi, ndipo kukhala mayi wa Yesu ndi chinthu chapadera kwambiri. Mulungu sanasankhe mkazi aliyense kuti abereke mwana wake. Nkhaniyo imayamba pamene mngelo Gabirieli analengeza kwa wansembe Zekariya kuti mkazi wake Elizabeti adzabala mwana wamwamuna mozizwitsa, amene adzamutcha dzina lakuti Yohane (malinga ndi Luka. 1,5-25). Kenako anadzadziwika kuti Yohane M’batizi. Munali m’mwezi wachisanu ndi chimodzi wa mimba ya Elizabeti pamene mngelo Gabrieli anawonekeranso kwa Mariya, amene anali kukhala ku Nazarete. Anamuuza kuti: “Moni, wodalitsika inu! Yehova ali ndi iwe!” (Luka 1,28). Maria sanakhulupirire zimene anali atangomva kumene. (Ndime 29).

Yesu anakhala ndi pathupi mwa chozizwitsa, mwa mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, Mariya asanakwatire ndi Yosefe. Mngelo anayankha nati kwa iye, Mzimu Woyera adzafika pa iwe, ndi mphamvu ya Wamkulukulu idzakuphimba iwe; Chotero choyeracho chikadzabadwa chidzatchedwa Mwana wa Mulungu.” (Luka 1,34-35 ndi).

Kusankhidwa kuti abereke Mwana wa Mulungu unali mwayi waukulu kwambiri, dalitso lalikulu lochokera kwa Mulungu kwa Mariya. Patapita nthawi, Mariya anapita kwa Elizabeti, wachibale wake; Iye anafuula pamene ankabwera kwa iye kuti: “Wodala ndiwe mwa akazi, ndipo chodalitsika chipatso cha mimba yako! (Luka 1,42).

Funso limabuka ponena za chifukwa chake Mulungu anasankha Mariya pakati pa atsikana onse a ku Nazarete. Kodi n’chiyani chinawasiyanitsa ndi enawo? Kodi ndi unamwali wake? Kodi Mulungu anamusankha chifukwa cha kupanda ungwiro kwake kapena chifukwa chakuti anachokera m’banja lotchuka? Yankho loona mtima ndi lakuti sitidziwa chifukwa chenicheni chimene Mulungu anapangira chisankho.

M’Baibulo, unamwali amapatsidwa kufunika kwapadera, makamaka pankhani ya maunansi a m’banja ndi chiyero cha kugonana. Mulungu sanasankhe malinga ndi kupanda ungwiro kwa Mariya. Baibulo limakamba kuti palibe munthu amene anakhalako wopanda ucimo: “Onse ndi ocimwa, operewera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu, nayesedwa olungama ndi chisomo chake chopanda mathedwe mwa chiwombolo cha mwa Kristu Yesu.” ( Aroma ) 3,23-24). Mariya anali wochimwa monga inu ndi ine.

N’cifukwa ciani Mulungu anamusankha? Mulungu anasankha Mariya mwa chisomo, osati chifukwa cha zimene anachita, chimene iye anali, kapena chifukwa cha mmene anakulira. Chisomo cha Mulungu ndi chosayenerera. Mariya sanali woyenera kusankhidwa. Palibe aliyense wa ife amene ayenera kusankhidwa ndi Mulungu kuti akhale mkati mwathu. Mulungu anasankha Mariya mwa chisomo: “Pakuti mudapulumutsidwa ndi chisomo chakuchita mwa chikhulupiriro, ndipo ichi chosachokera kwa inu; ndi mphatso ya Mulungu, osati mwa ntchito, kuti asadzitamandire munthu aliyense.” ( Aefeso 2,8).
Mulungu anasankha Mariya kuti anyamule Yesu pa chifukwa chomwecho anakusankhani inu kuti Yesu akhale mwa inu. Mariya anali chabe munthu woyamba amene Mulungu anakhala mwa iye. Lerolino likukhala mwa onse okhulupirira mwa Mulungu: “Kwa iwo Mulungu anafuna kuwazindikiritsa iwo chuma chaulemerero cha chinsinsi ichi mwa amitundu, ndiye Kristu mwa inu, chiyembekezo cha ulemerero” (Akolose. 1,27).

Pamene tikukondwerera kubadwa kwa Yesu mwezi uno, kumbukirani kuti, mofanana ndi Mariya, nanunso Mulungu amakuonani kukhala wofunika kwambiri. Ngati simunalandirebe Yesu ngati Muomboli ndi Mpulumutsi wanu, Mulungu akufuna kukhalanso mwa inu. Munganene monga mmene Mariya anachitira: “Taonani, ine ndine mdzakazi (wantchito) wa Ambuye; Zikhale kwa ine monga mwa mawu anu.” (Luka 1,38).
