Timakondwerera Tsiku la Ascension

Tsiku la Kukwera Kumwamba si limodzi mwa maphwando akuluakulu mu kalendala yachikhristu monga Khirisimasi, Lachisanu Labwino, ndi Isitala. Mwina timapeputsa kufunika kwa chochitikachi. Pambuyo pa zoopsa za kupachikidwa pamtanda ndi kupambana kwa kuuka kwa akufa, zikuwoneka ngati zopanda pake. Komabe, zimenezo zingakhale zolakwika. Yesu woukitsidwayo sanangokhala masiku ena 40 kenako n’kubwerera ku malo otetezeka akumwamba, ntchito yake padziko lapansi tsopano yatha. Yesu woukitsidwayo ndi ndipo akhalabe kosatha mu uthunthu wake monga munthu komanso Mulungu, akugwira ntchito mokwanira monga wotipembedzera wathu. (1. Tim 2,5; 1. Joh 2,1).

Apostelgeschichte 1,9-12 Limanena za Kukwera kwa Khristu. Atakwera kumwamba, amuna awiri ovala zovala zoyera anali ndi ophunzira, omwe anati: "Mukuyimirira bwanji pano mukuyang'ana kumwamba? Adzabweranso momwemo monga momwe mudamuonera akupita kumwamba." Izi zikusonyeza zinthu ziwiri momveka bwino: Yesu ali kumwamba, ndipo akubweranso.

In Epheser 2,6 Paulo analemba kuti: “Mulungu anatiukitsa pamodzi ndi ife, natiika m’Mwamba mwa Kristu Yesu. nayenso kumwamba.”

M’buku lake lakuti The Message of Ephesians, John Stott anati: “Paulo sanalembe za Kristu, koma za ife. Mulungu anatikhazika pamodzi ndi Khristu kumwamba. Chiyanjano cha anthu a Mulungu ndi Khristu ndicho chofunikira.

In Kolosser 3,1-4 Paulo akugogomezera choonadi ichi:
“Munafa, ndipo moyo wanu wabisika pamodzi ndi Khristu mwa Mulungu. Koma Khristu, amene ndi moyo wanu, akaonekera, inunso mudzaonekera pamodzi ndi Iye mu ulemerero.” “Mwa Khristu” kutanthauza kukhala m’maiko awiri: akuthupi ndi auzimu. Sitingathe kumvetsa izi tsopano, koma Paulo akunena kuti ndi zenizeni. Khristu akabweranso, tidzaona kukwanira kwa umunthu wathu watsopano. Mulungu safuna kutisiya. (Joh 14,18), koma mu chiyanjano ndi Khristu akufuna kugawana nafe zonse.

Mulungu watilumikiza ndi Khristu ndipo tikhoza kulandiridwa mu ubale umene Khristu ali nawo ndi Atate ndi Mzimu Woyera. Mwa Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu kwamuyaya, ndife ana okondedwa a chifuniro Chake chabwino. Timakondwerera Tsiku la Ascension. Ino ndi nthawi yabwino kukumbukira nkhani yabwinoyi.
