Lonjezo la Mulungu mu chovala
Woperekera zakudyayo sakanakopeka. Sanasamale kuti imeneyi inali honeymoon yathu. Zinalibe kanthu kuti madzulo mu lesitilanti yapamwamba inali mphatso yaukwati. Iye sanasamale ngakhale pang’ono kuti mkazi wanga, Denalyn, ndi ine tinadumpha chakudya chamasana kuti tikhale ndi chilakolako chokwanira cha chakudya chamadzulo. Zonsezi zinali zopanda pake poziyerekeza ndi vuto lalikulu limene linali kuyambika. Sindinavale jekete.
Sindimadziwa kuti ndikufunika. Ndinaganiza kuti shati yamasewera inali yokwanira. Ndinali waukhondo komanso wovala bwino. Koma njonda yovala tayi yakuda ndi mawu achi French sanasangalale. Anaonetsa aliyense malo ake. Bambo ndi Mayi Galant adawonetsedwa patebulo, Bambo ndi Mayi Wonyada adapatsidwa mpando. Koma Bambo ndi Mayi Opanda Jacket?
Ndikanakhala ndi kusankha kwina, sindikanapempha. Koma ndinalibe chochita. Kunali kale mochedwa. Malo odyera enawo anali otsekedwa kapena osungitsidwa mokwanira ndipo tinali ndi njala. Payenera kukhala njira, ndinapempha. Anandiyang'ana, kenako Denalyn, ndikupumira mozama. Ndiyesetsa kupeza yankho.
Anazimiririka m’chipinda chovala zovala n’kubwerera ndi jekete. Valani izi. Ndazichita. Manja anali aafupi kwambiri, mapewa anali othina kwambiri ndipo mtundu wake unali wobiriwira. Koma sindinathe kudandaula. Ndinavala jekete ndipo tinasonyezedwa patebulo. Mosasamala kanthu za zovuta zonse, potsirizira pake tinapeza chakudya chokoma ndi fanizo lodabwitsa kwambiri. Ndinafunikira jekete, koma chimene ndinali nacho chinali chopempha. Mwamunayo anali wokoma mtima kwambiri kuti andithamangitse, koma womvera malamulo kwambiri kuti achepetse zofuna zake. Ndiye mnyamata yemwe adandipempha jekete adandipatsa jekete ndipo tidapeza tebulo.
Kodi izonso sizinachitike pa mtanda? Anthu osavala bwino sapeza malo pagome la Mulungu. Koma ndani pakati pathu amene angakwaniritse zofunika? Makhalidwe osasamala, osasamala ndi choonadi, osasamala anthu. Chovala chathu cha makhalidwe abwino ndi chauve. Inde, zofunika za malo a pagome la Mulungu n’zapamwamba, koma chikondi cha Mulungu pa ana ake n’chapamwamba. N’chifukwa chake amatipatsa mphatso. Osati jekete yobiriwira ya laimu, koma mkanjo wopanda msoko. Osati chovala chotulutsidwa mu zovala, koma chovala chobvala Yesu, Mwana wake.
Baibulo silinena zambiri zokhudza zovala zimene Yesu ankavala. Timadziwa zimene msuweni wake, Yohane M’batizi, ankavala. Timadziwa zimene atsogoleri achipembedzo ankavala. Koma chovala cha Yesu sichinafotokozedwe: mwina sichinali chosauka kwambiri kotero kuti mitima inakhudzidwa, kapena chokongola kwambiri kotero kuti anthu anatembenuka kuti amuyang'ane. Ponena za zovala za Yesu n’zochititsa chidwi: “Pamene asilikali anamupachika Yesu, anatenga zovala zake n’kuzigawa m’zigawo zinayi, mmodzi kwa msilikali aliyense, ndiponso malaya ake.9,23-24 ndi).
Chiyenera kuti chinali chidutswa chabwino kwambiri cha Yesu. Malinga ndi mwambo wachiyuda, mayi ankafunika kuluka chovala choterocho n’kuchipereka kwa mwana wake wamwamuna ngati mphatso yotsazikana naye akachoka kunyumba kwa makolo ake. Kodi Mariya anachita zimenezi kwa Yesu? Sitikudziwa. Koma tikudziwa kuti malaya akunjawo anali opanda msoko, oluka kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi. N’chifukwa chiyani zimenezi zili zofunika?
Malemba Opatulika nthawi zambiri amafananiza khalidwe lathu ndi zovala zomwe timavala: “Valani nonse kudzichepetsa” (1. Peter 5,5). Davide ananena kuti anthu oipa amavala “temberero ngati malaya” (Salimo 10).9,18). Zovala zingakhale chizindikiro cha khalidwe, ndipo mofanana ndi chovala chimenechi, khalidwe la Yesu linali lopanda msoko, lolinganizika, ndiponso lachigamba chimodzi. Iye anali ngati chovala chake: ungwiro wosadodometsedwa. Zolukidwa kuchokera pamwamba. Yesu sanali kutsogoleledwa ndi maganizo ake, koma maganizo a Atate wake. Mvetserani mawu ake: “Mwana sangachite kanthu pa yekha, koma chimene aona Atate achichita, pakuti chimene achita, Mwananso achita chomwecho.” ( Yoh. 5,19). Yesu anati: “Sindingathe kuchita kanthu pandekha, monga ndamva, momwemo ndimaweruza.” ( Yoh 5,30. Khalidwe la Yesu linalukidwa mopanda msoko kuchokera kumwamba kupita ku dziko lapansi...kuchokera ku maganizo a Mulungu kupita ku ntchito za Yesu, kuchokera ku misozi ya Mulungu mpaka ku chifundo cha Yesu, kuchokera ku mau a Mulungu mpaka ku yankho la Yesu, zonsezo zinali chithunzi chimodzi cha khalidwe la Yesu. Koma pamene Khristu anakhomeredwa pa mtanda, iye anaika pambali chovala chake cha ungwiro wopanda msoko ndi kuvala chovala china, chovala chamanyazi. Manyazi amaliseche. Kuwonetsedwa pamaso pa amayi ake omwe ndi anthu omwe anali pafupi naye, kuchititsidwa manyazi pamaso pa banja lake. Manyazi akulephera. Kwa maola oŵerengeka osautsa, atsogoleri achipembedzo anali opambana ndipo Kristu anawoneka ngati woluza, wochititsidwa manyazi pamaso pa omuneneza. Choipitsitsa kwambiri, iye anasenza manyazi a uchimo: “Amene anasenza machimo athu m’thupi lake pa mtengo, kuti ife tikafe ku uchimo, ndi kukhala ndi moyo ku chilungamo” ( Yoh.1. Peter 2,24).
Zovala za Khristu pa mtanda? Tchimo - tchimo lanu ndi langa. Machimo aanthu onse. Ndikukumbukira kuti tsiku lina bambo anga anandifotokozera chifukwa chimene gulu la amuna amene anali m’mbali mwa msewu anali atavala zamizeremizere. Iwo ndi akaidi, iye anatero. Iwo anaphwanya lamulo ndipo akutumikira chilango chawo. Ukudziwa chomwe chidandidabwitsa kwambiri pa amunawa? Iwo sanayang'ane konse mmwamba. Iwo ankapewa kuonana ndi maso. Kodi anachita manyazi? Mwina. Zomwe adamva m'mbali mwa msewu, Mpulumutsi wathu adamva pamtanda - manyazi. Chilichonse cha kupachikidwacho chinakonzedwa kuti sichimangopweteka kwa wozunzidwayo, komanso kumuchititsa manyazi. Imfa yapamtanda kaŵirikaŵiri inali kusungidwira apandu onyozeka kwambiri: akapolo, apandu, ndi akupha.
Munthu wotsutsidwayo anatsogozedwa m’makwalala a mzindawo ali ndi mizati yopingasa pa mapewa ake, ndipo m’khosi mwake munapachika chikwangwani cholembedwa ndi mlandu wake. Pamalo ophedwa anavula ndi kunyozedwa. Kupachikidwa kunali konyansa kwambiri kotero kuti Cicero analemba kuti: “Dzina lenilenilo la mtanda likhale kutali ndi thupi la nzika ya Roma, koma ngakhale maganizo ake, maso ake, ndi makutu ake.
Yesu sananyozedwe pamaso pa anthu, koma pamaso pa kumwamba. Chifukwa chakuti iye anasenza tchimo la wakupha ndi wachigololo, iye anamva manyazi ndi wakupha ndi wachigololo. Ngakhale kuti sananamepo, anali ndi manyazi chifukwa chokhala wabodza. Ngakhale kuti anali asanaberepo, ankaona kuti ndi wachinyengo. Chifukwa chakuti ananyamula machimo adziko lapansi, anamva manyazi onse a dziko lapansi. N’zosadabwitsa kuti Epistola kwa Ahebri akuti “asenza chitonzo chake” (Ahebri 1).3,13).
Pa mtanda, Yesu anamva manyazi ndi manyazi a chigawenga. Ayi, analibe mlandu, sanachite tchimo lililonse. Ayi, sanayenere chigamulocho. Koma iwe ndi ine tinali olakwa, tinachimwa ndipo tiyenera kuweruzidwa. Tinali mumkhalidwe womwewo monga ine ndinali ndi woperekera zakudya - zomwe tiyenera kupereka ndi pempho. Komabe, Yesu amapita kutali kuposa woperekera zakudyayo. Kodi mungaganizire mwini malo odyera akuvula tuxedo yake ndikundipatsa? Yesu amatero. Sitikunena za jekete lotsala losakwanira bwino. Yesu upangula bipangujo bya bulēme bukatampe ne kuvwala kivwalwa kyandi kilumbuluke pamo ku bukomo, buswe, ne buswe. Anasinthana nafe malo (onani Agalatiya 3,13). Iye anasenza machimo athu kuti ife titengere chilungamo chake. Ngakhale kuti timafika pamtanda titavala uchimo, timasiya mtanda ndi “zida za chilungamo” ( Yesaya 5 )9,17) ndi kumanga lamba wa “kukhulupirika” (Yesaya 11,5) ndi kuvala “zobvala za chipulumutso” ( Yesaya 61,10).
M’chenicheni, timasiya mtanda wovekedwa ndi Kristu mwini: “Pakuti inu nonse muli ana a Mulungu mwa chikhulupiriro cha mwa Kristu Yesu, pakuti nonse munabatizidwa mwa Kristu mudabvala Kristu.” ( Agalatiya 3,26-27 ndi).
Sizinali zokwanira kuti Yesu akukonzereni phwando. Sikunali kokwanira kuti iye akusungireni inu malo. Sizinali zokwanira kwa iye kulipira ndalamazo ndi kukonzekera ulendo wopita kuphwando. Anachitanso zambiri. Anakupatsani zovala zake za iye mwini kuti muvale moyenera. Yesu adakuchitirani izi - mozindikira komanso chifukwa cha chikondi, kwa inu nokha.
