Munabadwiranji?
Tsiku la Amayi ndi Tsiku la Abambo ndi nthawi yapadera imene makolo amalemekezedwa chifukwa cha chikondi chawo chopanda dyera. Mosasamala kanthu za zowawa za pobereka, kusoŵa tulo ndi mikangano m’moyo wabanja watsiku ndi tsiku, ambiri amasankha mwachidwi kukulitsa moyo wabanja lawo ndi ana ambiri. Zimene zinachitikira mwana woyamba kubadwa sizichepetsa m’pang’ono pomwe chikhumbo chofuna kukhala ndi banja lalikulu. Izi zikubweretsa funso lalikulu: N'chifukwa chiyani munabadwira?
Yankho losavuta nlakuti: ndinu chotulukapo cha chikondi cha makolo anu. Sikuti aliyense wakhala ndi mwayi wobadwira m'mikhalidwe yachikondi kapena yokhazikika. Ena sadziwa makolo awo owabereka ndipo amatengedwa ndi anthu osawadziwa. Ana oterowo amatengedwa kuti azigawana chikondi, moyo ndi katundu. Nthaŵi zina, chodabwitsa kwambiri chimachitika pamene ana oleredwa ndi makolo awo osawalera atenga ngakhale cholowa chonse cha makolo awo owalera.
Mosasamala kanthu za chiyambi chanu, kubadwa kwanu kumakhazikika munkhani yokulirapo ya chikondi, m’banja la Mulungu. “Okondedwa, tikondane wina ndi mnzake: pakuti chikondi chichokera kwa Mulungu, ndipo iye amene akonda, abadwa kuchokera kwa Mulungu, nazindikira Mulungu: wosakonda sadziwa Mulungu, pakuti Mulungu ndiye chikondi.”1. Johannes 4,7-8 ndi).
Mulungu ndiye chiyambi ndi chimake cha chikondi. Funso likubuka la momwe angakhalire ndi chikondi ngati palibe amene angachiyesere. Mulungu sanali yekha, koma anakhalako kuyambira kalekale monga Utatu, ndiko kuti, Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera. Mpingo woyambirira unkatchula mgwirizano uwu monga perichoresis - kukhala pamodzi ndi umodzi womwe umatsogolera ku ubale wamphamvu wa kudzipereka. Kuyambira kalekale, atatuwa akhala ndi unansi wapamtima, wachikondi, wofanana ndi makolo amene amagawana chikondi chawo. Mulungu adalenga munthu m’chifanizo chake: “Mulungu adalenga munthu m’chifanizo chake, m’chifanizo cha Mulungu adamlenga iye; ndipo adawalenga iwo mwamuna ndi mkazi” (1. Cunt 1,27).
Funso loti anthu analengedwa chifukwa chiyani limayankhidwa ndi Akhristu ambiri ponena kuti munthu anabadwa kuti atumikire ndi kulemekeza Mulungu. Lingaliro loterolo lingatanthauze kuti sitinalengedwe chifukwa cha chikondi chenicheni, koma ndi cholinga chapadera—lingaliro limene silimasonyeza cholinga cha Mulungu. Mulungu anatilenga anthu kuti tikhale mbali ya banja lake. Popeza ife monga anthu mwachibadwa sitikanatha kulowa mu chiyanjano changwiro chimene chilipo pakati pa Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera, Mulungu anaganiza ngakhale tisanalengedwe kutitengera ife ndi kutiphatikiza ife mu chiyanjano chachikondi ichi. Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, anakhala munthu kotero kuti kudzera mu nsembe yake ife tiyanjanitsidwe ndi Mulungu chifukwa cha machimo athu ndi kutengedwa kukhala ana ake. Paulo akufotokoza zimenezi motere: “Pakuti mwa Iye anatisankhira lisanaikidwe maziko a dziko lapansi, kuti tikhale oyera ndi opanda chilema pamaso pake m’chikondi: Iye anatikonzeratu ife kuti tikhale ana ake mwa Yesu Kristu, monga kunamkomera mtima chifuniro chake, kuti chitamando cha chisomo chake chaulemerero, chimene anatipatsira ife kwaulere mwa Wokondedwayo.” ( Aefeso 1:17 ) 1,4-6 ndi).
Cholinga cha Mulungu polenga nthawi zonse chinali kukuphatikizani m'banja lake ndikugawana nanu ubale wapamtima wa Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera. Iye adakulengani kuti musadzilemekeze yekha, koma kuti agawane ndi inu ulemerero wake - ichi ndicho chiyambi cha chikondi chenicheni.
Ngakhale dziko lisanalengedwe, Atate ndi Mwana (Yesu) anali ndi ulemerero woposa chibadwa. Yesu anapemphera atangotsala pang’ono kuvutika kuti: “Ndipo tsopano Atate, lemekezani ine pamaso panu ndi ulemerero umene ndinali nawo ndi inu dziko lisanayambe.” ( Yoh.7,5).
Chifukwa cha ulemerero wogaŵira umenewu, Mwana wa Mulungu anakhala munthu kotero kuti ife anthu mofunitsitsa tingagwirizane nawo m’gulu labwino la chikondi ili: “Ulemerero umene mwandipatsa Ine ndapatsa iwo, kuti akhale amodzi, monga ife tiri amodzi: Ine mwa iwo, ndi inu mwa Ine, kuti akhale amodzi angwiro;7,22-23 ndi).
Mulungu Atate anatheketsa kupyolera mwa Yesu kuti ife abadwe mu umodzi ndi ubale. Poyamikira zonse zomwe Yesu watichitira, timabwezera chikondi chake - osati chifukwa cha thayo, koma poyankha chisamaliro choyamba cha Mulungu: "Mulibe mantha m'chikondi, koma chikondi changwiro chitaya mantha. Pakuti mantha ayembekezera chilango; koma wamantha sakhala wangwiro m'chikondi.1. Johannes 4,18-19 ndi).
Timamulemekeza chifukwa anayamba kutilemekeza. Izi ndizofanana ndi tsogolo la khanda lomwe limatengedwa ndi makolo achikondi - kutengedwa, kukondedwa ndi kusamalidwa popanda kuyesetsa kulikonse. Pambuyo pake, mwanayo adzasonyeza kuyamikira kwake mwa kukonda ndi kusamalira makolo ake. Umu ndi mmene Mulungu amatisonyezera chikondi chake: “Koma Mulungu wasonyeza chikondi chake kwa ife, moti pamene tinali ochimwa, Khristu anatifera.” ( Aroma 4:11, 19 ) Choncho, tikadali ochimwa, Mulungu amatisonyeza chikondi chake. 5,8-9 ndi).
Mwana wa Mulungu wokondedwa
Kubadwa kwake kunachitika kuti atengedwe kukhala m'banja la Mulungu. Mulungu amakonda kuti mumutchule kuti Atate. Pamene ophunzira a Yesu anafunsa mmene ayenera kupemphera, iye anayankha kuti: “Chifukwa chake pempherani inu chomwechi: Atate wathu wa Kumwamba, Dzina lanu liyeretsedwe.” ( Mateyu 6,9).
Sayenera kupemphera kuti: Mulungu wathu wa Kumwamba, chifukwa talandira mzimu wa umwana: «Pakuti simunalandira mzimu wa ukapolo wa mantha; koma munalandira mzimu wa umwana, umene timafuula nawo kuti, ‘Abba, Atate!’” ( Aroma 8,15).
Mosasamala kanthu za mkhalidwe wanu m’moyo, simulinso kapolo wauchimo, koma mwana wokondedwa wa Mulungu: “Popeza muli ana, Mulungu anatumiza mzimu wa Mwana wake m’mitima yathu, wofuula, Abba, Atate! Chotero sulinso kapolo, koma mwana; koma ngati mwana, alinso wolowa nyumba mwa Mulungu.” (Agalatiya 4,6-7 ndi).
Ngati unakula ngati mwana wamasiye, sulinso mwana wamasiye. Ngati mukuona kuti mwakusiyidwa, simulinso mwana wosiyidwa. Iwo ali a m’banja la Mulungu ndipo ali ngakhale cholowa chake kudzera mwa Yesu Kristu: “Palibenso Mhelene, kapena Myuda, wodulidwa kapena wosadulidwa, wakunja, Mskuti, kapolo, kapena mfulu, koma Kristu ali zonse, ndi mwa onse” ( Akolose 1:14 ) Iwo ali m’banja la Mulungu. 3,11). Mofanana ndi mwana wamng’ono, munaleredwa popanda kudziwa.
“Mwa iye (Yesu) ifenso tinasankhidwa kukhala olowa nyumba, amene tinasankhidwiratu monga mwa cholinga cha iye amene akugwira ntchito zonse, monga mwa uphungu wa chifuniro chake, kuti ife, amene tinayembekezera Khristu poyamba, tikhale ndi moyo ku chiyamiko cha ulemerero wake.” 1,11-12).
Kubadwa kwake kunathandiza kuti alowe m’banja la Mulungu. Ngakhale simumazindikira nthawi zonse kukhazikitsidwa uku, kumakhalabe chenicheni: "Koma pamene Khristu, amene ali moyo wanu, adzawoneka, pamenepo inunso mudzawonekera pamodzi ndi Iye mu ulemerero" (Akolose. 3,4).
Nthawi zonse khalani ndi kamphindi kuthokoza Mulungu Atate kuti, kudzera mu chisomo ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, mwalandiridwa ngati mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi m'banja la Mulungu. Mukakhala oyamikira kwambiri, m’pamenenso choonadi chofunikachi chimamveka bwino m’moyo wanu.
