Mawu adasandulika thupi

Yohane sakuyamba uthenga wake monga alaliki ena. Iye sananene chilichonse chokhudza mmene Yesu anabadwa, ndipo anati: “Pachiyambi panali Mawu, ndipo Mawu anali ndi Mulungu, ndipo Mawu anali Mulungu. Ameneyo anali paciyambi kwa Mulungu.” ( Yoh 1,1-2 ndi).

Mwinamwake mukudabwa kuti "mawu" amatanthauza chiyani, kutanthauza "logos" mu Chigriki? Yohane akupereka yankho lakuti: “Mawu anasandulika thupi nakhazikika pakati pathu, ndipo tinaona ulemerero wake, ulemerero monga Mwana wobadwa yekha wa Atate, wodzala ndi chisomo ndi choonadi.” ( Yoh. 1,14).

Mawuwa ndi munthu, Myuda dzina lake Yesu, amene anali ndi Mulungu pachiyambi ndipo anali Mulungu. Iye si munthu amene analengedwa, koma Mulungu wamoyo wosatha, amene analenga chilengedwe chonse: “Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa ndi chinthu chimodzi, ndipo popanda cholengedwa chimodzi, palibe chimene chinapangidwa.” ( Yoh. 1,3).

N’chifukwa chiyani Yohane akufotokoza mbiri imeneyi? N’cifukwa ciani tifunika kudziŵa kuti Yesu poyamba anali munthu amene sanali kukhala ndi Mulungu cabe komanso Mulungu? Ndi zimenezi tingathe kumvetsa zotsatira za Yesu pamene anadzichepetsa chifukwa cha ife. Yesu atabwera padziko lapansi, anataya ulemerero wake waukulu kwambiri umene unamupanga kukhala Mwana wa Mulungu kuti ife tikhale ngati munthu. Chimake cha ulemerero umenewu ndi chikondi.

Mulungu wopanda malire amene adalowa malire a nthawi ndi kusakhazikika kwaumunthu. Kupyolera mu kubadwa kwa Yesu, Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse anadziulula ku Betelehemu mu kufooka kwa mwana wobadwa kumene. Yesu anasiya kutchuka ndipo anakhala m’mikhalidwe yonyozeka: “Ngakhale kuti iye anali Mulungu, sanaumirire ufulu wake waumulungu. Iye anasiya chirichonse; adatenga udindo wonyozeka ngati kapolo ndipo anabadwa ndikuzindikiridwa ngati mwamuna” (Afilipi 2,6- 7 New Life Bible).

Yesu ali wokonzeka nthawi zonse kusiya kutchuka ndi ulemerero wake kuti atipulumutse. Kutchuka sikukhudza mphamvu ndi kutchuka. Ukulu weniweni suli mu mphamvu kapena ndalama. "Pakuti mudziwa chisomo cha Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu: ngakhale iye anali wolemera, adakhala wosauka chifukwa cha inu, kuti inu mukakhale olemera ndi kusauka kwake."2. Akorinto 8,9). Ukulu wa Mulungu umasonyezedwa m’chikondi chake chopanda malire ndi kufunitsitsa kwake kutumikira, monga momwe chochitika cha kubadwa kwa Yesu chikusonyezera.

Kubadwa kovutirapo

Taganizirani mmene zinthu zinalili pa kubadwa kwa Yesu. Sizinabwere pamene Ayuda anali mtundu wamphamvu, koma pamene ankanyozedwa ndi kulamulidwa ndi Ufumu wa Roma. Iye sanabwere kumzinda wofunika kwambiri, anakulira m’chigawo cha Galileya. Yesu anabadwa m’mikhalidwe yochititsa manyazi. Zikanakhala zophweka kwa Mzimu Woyera kulenga mwana mwa mkazi wokwatiwa monga momwe zinalili mwa mkazi wosakwatiwa. Ngakhale Yesu asanabadwe, Yesu anali m’mavuto. Luka akutiuza kuti Yosefe anafunika ulendo wopita ku Betelehemu kuti akaŵerengedwe m’kalemberayo: “Chotero Yosefe nayenso anachoka ku Galileya, mzinda wa Nazarete, ku dziko la Yudeya, kumzinda wa Davide, wotchedwa Betelehemu; anali wa m’nyumba ndi m’mzera wa Davide, kuti ayamikike pamodzi ndi Mariya, mkazi wake wodalirika; anali ndi pakati »(Lukas 2,4-5 ndi).

Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti anapatsa ilo mwana wake mmodzi yekha, koma dziko silinamfuna iye. “Analowa m’chuma chake; ndipo ake a mwini yekha sanamlandira” (Yohane 1,10). Anthu ake ankadziwa kuti Mulungu ndi Mulungu wamphamvu zonse ndiponso waulemerero wosaoneka. Iwo anali atanyalanyaza Mulungu amene anayenda m’munda wa Edeni akuitana ana ake ouma khosi. Iwo sanadalire mau a Mulungu, amene analankhula nao modekha, koma mwamphamvu. Dziko silinafune kuvomereza Mulungu monga anadziululira kwa iwo. Koma Mulungu anatikonda kwambiri, ngakhale kuti tinali ochimwa: “Koma Mulungu akusonyeza chikondi chake kwa ife, kuti Khristu anatifera ife pamene tinali ochimwa.” ( Aroma ) Choncho Yehova amatikonda kwambiri. 5,8). Kubadwa kwa Yesu ndi kudzichepetsa kwake kwakukulu ziyenera kutikumbutsa zimenezi.

Kukhudza ulemu

Angelowo anaimira mpweya waulemu, ulemerero, ndi kutchuka m’chithunzi cha kubadwa kwa Yesu. Apa panali zounikira zowala, gulu lakwaya lakumwamba likuimba zotamanda Mulungu kuti: “Nthawi yomweyo khamu la ankhondo akumwamba linali limodzi ndi mngelo amene anatamanda Mulungu ndi kunena kuti: “Ulemerero ukhale kwa Mulungu Kumwambamwamba, ndi mtendere padziko lapansi kwa anthu amene iye amawafunira zabwino. "(Lukas 2,13-14 ndi).

Mulungu anatumiza angelo ake kwa abusa, osati ansembe ndi mafumu. N’cifukwa ciani mngelo anapeleka uthenga wa kubadwa kwa Yesu kwa abusa a anthu onse? Iye akufuna kutikumbutsa za chiyambi ndi osankhidwa ake pamene akulembanso mbiri. Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo onse anali abusa, oyendayenda ndi anthu okhala kunja ndi kuyendayenda ndi zoweta zawo zazikulu. Malinga ndi mwambo wa Ayuda, abusa amene ankakhala ku Betelehemu anali ndi ntchito yapadera yoweta nkhosa ndi ana a nkhosa zimene zinkagwiritsidwa ntchito pakachisi popereka nsembe.

Abusawo anathamangira ku Betelehemu ndipo anapeza mwana wakhanda wopanda chilema amene Yohane ananena za iye kuti: “Taonani, uyu ndiye Mwanawankhosa wa Mulungu amene asenza uchimo wa dziko lapansi! (Johannes 1,29).

Abusa ankaonedwa kuti ndi anthu osakhwima komanso osadalirika. Anthu amene amanunkha ndowe, nthaka, nyama ndi thukuta. Anthu akunja kwa anthu. Ndi anthu amenewa amene mngelo wa Mulungu anasankha.

Thawirani ku Igupto

Mngeloyo anachenjeza Yosefe m’maloto kuti athawire ku Iguputo ndi kukakhala kumeneko kwa kanthawi. “Chotero Yosefe ananyamuka n’kutenga mwanayo ndi mayi ake usiku n’kuthawira ku Iguputo.” (Mat 2,5-6 ndi).

Khristu Mwana anabweretsedwa ku Igupto ndipo anakhala wothaŵira m’dziko limene Aisrayeli anasiya, dziko laukapolo ndi othamangitsidwa. Imeneyi inali tsogolo la Yesu kukhala wosauka, kuzunzidwa, ndi kukanidwa ndi anthu amene anabwera kudzawapulumutsa. Yesu ananena kuti aliyense amene akufuna kukhala wamkulu ayenera kukhala kapolo. Umenewo ndi ukulu weniweni chifukwa chimenecho ndiye thunthu la Mulungu.

Chikondi cha Mulungu

Kubadwa kwa Yesu kumationetsa kuti chikondi n’chiyani komanso mmene thunthu la Mulungu lilili. Mulungu amalola anthufe kudana ndi kumenya Yesu chifukwa amadziwa kuti njira yabwino kwambiri yotithandiza kuzindikira zinthu ndi kuona zimene mtima wodzikonda umabweretsa. Amadziŵa kuti njira yabwino yogonjetsera zoipa si mwa kukakamiza, koma mwa chikondi chosalekeza ndi kukoma mtima. Malingaliro ake sapwetekedwa ndi nkhonya zathu. Tikamukana, sangade nkhawa. Sabwezera tikamamuvulaza. Akhoza kukhala khanda lopanda chochita, akhoza kutenga malo a chigawenga chopachikidwa, akhoza kumira kwambiri chifukwa chakuti amatikonda.

Chuma cha Yesu Khristu

Pamene Khristu anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ife, sinali imfa yake yokha, anadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife kuti osauka alemere. “Mzimu yekha achita umboni ku mzimu wathu, kuti tiri ana a Mulungu. Koma ngati ndife ana, ndifenso olowa nyumba, olowa nyumba a Mulungu, olowa nyumba anzake a Khristu, popeza tikumva zowawa pamodzi ndi iye, kutinso tikauke mu ulemerero pamodzi ndi iye.” 8,16-17 ndi).

Yesu sanangosamalira umphawi wathu, anatipatsanso chuma chake. Khristu anatipanga ife kukhala olowa m’malo mwa imfa yake kuti tithe kukhala ndi zinthu zonse zimene ali nazo mosaoneka. Zonse zomwe ali nazo watipatsa ife. Kodi tikudziwa za kukula kumeneku?

Phunziro kwa ife

Kubadwa kwa Yesu kuli ndi uthenga wofunika kwambiri kwa ife, mmene tiyenera kuchitira zinthu ndi anzathu. Mulungu amafuna kuti tikhale mmene iye alili, monga mmene Yesu analili. Osati m’maonekedwe, osati mu mphamvu, koma m’chikondi, kudzichepetsa ndi ubale. Yesu ananena kuti kapolo sali wamkulu kuposa Ambuye. Ngati iye, Ambuye ndi Mphunzitsi wathu, watitumikira, ifenso tiyenera kutumikirana wina ndi mnzake. “Siziyenera kukhala chomwecho pakati panu; koma amene aliyense afuna kukhala wamkulu mwa inu, akhale kapolo wanu.”— Mateyu 20,26:28 .

Wokondedwa Wowerenga, gwiritsani ntchito nthawi ndi chuma chanu kuthandiza ndi kutumikira anthu ena. Tsatirani chitsanzo cha Yesu ndi kulola Yesu kukhala mwa inu ndi kusonyeza chikondi chake ndi chifundo kwa anansi anu kuti am’dziŵe.
