Yesu akutanthauza kwa ife lero
Anthu ambiri masiku ano amakhulupirira kuti chifukwa cha kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo, chitonthozo chakuthupi, kumasuka komanso kutukuka kwachuma, ali ndi zonse zomwe amafunikira. Kukula mwachangu kwaukadaulo kwathandizira mwayi wopeza chuma ndikupangitsa kuti zinthu zisinthe m'mbali zosiyanasiyana za moyo. Ambiri amasangalala ndi moyo wapamwamba wokhala ndi nyumba zabwino, chakudya chambiri komanso zinthu zamakono monga kugula pa intaneti ndi zosangalatsa za digito. Kukula kwachuma kwadzetsa ndalama zambiri komanso kukhala otetezeka kwa ambiri.
Kodi tikufuna china chilichonse? Kodi tafika pachimake cha chikhutiro? Kodi ndifedi okhutitsidwa ndi okondwa monga anthu? Ndani akusowa mpingo kapena Mulungu lero? Kodi Yesu ameneyu ndi ndani ndipo ali woyenerera pa moyo wathu wamakono? Kodi timachitengera kunthaŵi imene moyo uli wovuta kapena pamene tikupeza kuti tatsala pang’ono kufa? Kodi timatembenukira kwa Iye pamene sitingathe kuthetsa mavuto athu amakono? M’nkhaniyi ndikufuna kutsindika kuti Yesu ndi wofunika kwambiri kwa ife masiku ano komanso mmene timamufunira pa moyo wathu watsiku ndi tsiku.
Mulungu ndiye mlengi wa chilengedwe chonse; Iye analankhula ndipo zonse zinalengedwa: “Pachiyambi panali Mawu, ndipo Mawu anali ndi Mulungu, ndipo Mawu anali Mulungu. Ndi momwemonso ndi Mulungu pachiyambi. Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa ndi iye, ndipo kopanda iye palibe china cholengedwa.” ( Yoh 1,1-3 ndi).
Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa mwa Yesu Khristu, amene anali ndi Mulungu, amenenso ndi Mulungu amene amachirikiza chilichonse cholengedwa padziko lapansi ndi kumwamba. mipando yachifumu, kapena maulamuliro, kapena mphamvu, kapena maulamuliro; Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa kudzera mwa iye ndiponso chifukwa cha iye.” (Akolose 1,16-17 ndi).
Munthu, wolengedwa m’chifaniziro cha Mulungu ndi chifukwa cha chikondi, wakonzedwera kuyanjana naye kosatha. Tikutero chifukwa Baibulo limatiuza kuti Mulungu ndi chikondi: “Iye wosakonda sadziwa Mulungu; pakuti Mulungu ndiye chikondi” (1. Johannes 4,8). Chofunikira chake ndi momwe amaonera anthu ndi chikondi, chomwe ndi chomwe Mulungu ali, Mulungu ndiye chikondi.
Adamu ndi Hava atachimwa pokhulupirira bodza la mdierekezi - chinyengo chakuti munthu akhoza kukhala wopanda Mulungu ndikulenga tsogolo lake - ndipo potero analekanitsidwa ndi ubale wapamtima ndi Mulungu, anthu anafunikira chipulumutso ndi chiyanjanitso cha Mulungu mwachangu. Munthu anasankha imfa m’malo mwa moyo. Mulungu adalenga anthu kuti akhale ndi chiyanjano chamuyaya ndi iyemwini, koma njira yomwe adasankha idatanthauza kuti izi sizinali zotheka. Ndi munthu wangwiro ndi wopanda uchimo yekha amene akanatha kukwaniritsa zofunika kuti apulumutse anthu.
Chifukwa chakuti Mulungu ndiye chikondi ndipo cholinga chake n’chakuti tikhale ndi anthufe, chikondi chake kwa ife sichidzatha. Chikondi cha Mulungu chilibe malire, mosiyana ndi zomwe timadziwa kuchokera m'zochitika zathu. Mulungu ndi Mulungu wamuyaya, wopanda malire a malo ndi nthawi. Izi zokha ziyenera kutizindikiritsa kuti tikudziwa pang'ono za chikondi chopanda malire ndi chokwanira chomwe ali nacho pa ife. Izi ziyeneranso kutisangalatsa ndi kutipangitsa kufuna kudziŵa zambiri ponena za chikondi chimenechi ndi munthu amene amatikonda kwambiri: «Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero, kuti anapatsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti yense wakukhulupirira Iye “asatayike; koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha.” ( Yoh 3,16).
Chikondi chosalephera cha Mulungu kwa anthu chikusonyezedwa mwa Yesu Kristu, amene anabwera padziko lapansi monga Mulungu monga mwana wa munthu. Anakhala moyo wangwiro ndipo anafera pamtanda chifukwa cha inu ndi ine. N’chifukwa chake Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi: “Pakuti tilibe mkulu wa ansembe amene sakhoza kumva chifundo ndi zofooka zathu, koma amene anayesedwa m’zonse monga ife, koma wopanda uchimo.” ( Aheb. 4,15).
Yesu Kristu ndiye munthu wangwiro amene anapereka nsembe ya machimo athu. Ndi iye yekha amene akanatha kupulumutsa anthu ndipo ndi yekhayo amene anapereka nsembe pa guwa kuti atipulumutse ku chivundi chathu. Koma dikirani kaye: Kodi Yesu si Mulungu? Ndiye akanakhala bwanji nsembe yochotsera machimo imene imachotsa machimo aanthu ndi kukwaniritsa zofuna za chilungamo pakuswa lamulo la Mulungu?
Ichi ndi chozizwitsa chomwe timakondwerera pa Khrisimasi. Timakondwerera Yesu Khristu mu mawonekedwe aumunthu. Mngelo Gabirieli anatumidwa ndi Mulungu kumzinda wa Nazarete ku Galileya ndipo anauza Mariya kuti: “Usaope Mariya! Wapeza chisomo ndi Mulungu. Taona, udzakhala ndi pakati, nudzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha dzina lake Yesu. Iye adzakhala wamkulu, nadzatchedwa Mwana wa Wam’mwambamwamba; Ndipo Yehova Mulungu adzam’patsa mpando wachifumu wa Davide atate wake, ndipo adzalamulira pa nyumba ya Yakobo kwamuyaya, ndipo ufumu wake sudzatha.” ( Luka 1,30-33 ndi).
Maonekedwe a Mulungu mu thupi, umulungu umakhala umodzi ndi umunthu. Mariya anauza mngeloyo kuti: “Kodi zimenezi zingatheke bwanji, popeza sindikudziwa za mwamuna aliyense? 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).
Yesu anabadwa mwa Mzimu Woyera ndipo anabadwa mwa Namwali Mariya. Anabala mwana wamwamuna amene ali munthu woona ndi Mulungu woona, Mwana wa Mulungu. Yesu ndi Mulungu ndi munthu mu umodzi wangwiro ndi wogwirizana. Yesu ndiye njira yokhayo imene tingapulumutsire, kuwomboledwa ndi kuyanjanitsidwa. Timapeza chiyanjano chachikondi ndi Mulungu kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu yekha. Izi zikutanthauza kukhulupirira ndi kukhulupirira kuti Yesu ndi Mwana wobadwa wa Mulungu, amene anatifera pa mtanda, anaukitsidwa ndi Mulungu pa tsiku lachitatu, ndipo anaukitsidwa kupita kumwamba. Tsopano Yesu akulamulira kudzanja lamanja la ulemerero wa Mulungu. Tiyenera kukhulupirira ndi kukhala moyo wathu kudalira choonadi ichi ndi kukonzekera kubweranso kwake.
Timafunikira Yesu chifukwa adatengera machimo athu pa iye yekha ndi kufa m'malo mwathu. Chirichonse chimene Khristu adachichita, adachichitira anthu; anachitira iwe ndi ine. Yesu anabadwa monga munthu, wolandiridwa mwa Mzimu; Iye anakhala ndi moyo wangwiro, anabatizidwa chifukwa cha ife, anapachikidwa chifukwa cha ife, ndipo anatifera ife. Mulungu anamuukitsa nakwera kumwamba chifukwa cha ife. Khristu anatipatsa Mzimu Woyera kuti atipatse mphamvu, kutidzadza ndi Iye mwini, ndi kutitsogolera ku choonadi chonse. Yesu akutidzaza ndi mzimu wake kuti tikhale ndi moyo woyenerera kuitana kwake: “Ndidzapempha Atate, ndipo adzakupatsani inu Mtonthozi wina, kuti akhale ndi inu ku nthawi zonse: Mzimu wa choonadi, amene... Dziko lapansi silingathe kumlandira Iye, chifukwa silimuona Iye, ndipo silimzindikira Iye. Inu mukumudziwa, chifukwa amakhala ndi inu ndipo adzakhala mwa inu.” ( Yoh4,16-17 ndi).
Mulungu watipatsa lamulo lakuti tizikondana ndi kulengeza uthenga wabwino m’dzina lake. Timafunika Yesu chifukwa pomudziwa komanso kumumvetsa tingapeze moyo wosatha. Pokhapokha pomudziwa moona mtima tingayanjanitsidwe ndi Atate ndikukhala ndi ubale wamuyaya umene Mulungu anakonzera anthu kuyambira pachiyambi.
Galimoto imafunika mafuta kuti iyende. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa analengedwa kuti azigwira ntchito choncho. Mofananamo, timafuna kuti Mulungu akhale munthu wathunthu. N’chifukwa chake Khristu ndi wofunika kwambiri kwa ife monga Akhristu. Chifukwa Yesu amabweretsa kupezeka kwa Mulungu m'miyoyo yathu - ndi njira yokhayo yomwe tingayenderenso. Timabadwanso mwauzimu pamene moyo wathu uukitsidwa ndi mzimu wa Mulungu. Izi zikhoza kuchitika kokha mwa njira ya Mulungu ndi kutibwezera ife ku chikhalidwe chimene Iye anatilengera ife – m’mene tingakhalemo moonadi ndi kukhala ndi moyo kudzera mu kupezeka kwake mwa ife. Mulungu ndi wofunika kwambiri kwa munthu wokwaniritsidwadi.
