Kodi mukuyembekezera nyumba yanu yakumwamba?

Nyimbo ziwiri zakale zodziwika bwino za uthenga wabwino zimati: "Nyumba yopanda anthu ikundiyembekezera" komanso "Katundu wanga ali kuseri kwa phiri". Mawu amenewa ndi ozikidwa pa mawu a Yesu akuti: “M’nyumba ya Atate wanga alimo malo okhalamo ambiri. Ngati sikunali tero, kodi ndikadakuuzani kuti, ‘Ndipita kukakukonzerani malo?’” ( Yoh.4,2). Mavesi ameneŵa amanenedwanso kaŵirikaŵiri pamaliro chifukwa chakuti amagwirizana ndi lonjezo lakuti Yesu adzakonzekeretsa mphoto kwa anthu a Mulungu kumwamba amene adzayembekezera anthu pambuyo pa imfa. Koma kodi zimenezi n’zimene Yesu ankafuna kunena? Kungakhale kulakwa ngati titayesa kugwirizanitsa mawu aliwonse amene Ambuye wathu ananena mwachindunji m’miyoyo yathu popanda kulingalira zimene anali kuyesa kunena kwa amene ankalankhula nawo panthaŵiyo.

Usiku woti aphedwa mawa lake, Yesu anakhala pansi ndi ophunzira ake m’chipinda chotchedwa Chipinda Chapamwamba. Ophunzirawo anadabwa kwambiri ndi zimene anaona ndi kumva. Yesu anasambitsa mapazi awo, n’kunena kuti pakati pawo panali munthu wowapereka, ndipo ananena kuti Petulo amupereka osati kamodzi kokha koma katatu. Kodi mungaganizire zimene anayankha? “Uyu sangakhoze kukhala Mesiya. Amalankhula za masautso, kuperekedwa ndi imfa. Ndipo komabe tinkaganiza kuti ndiye kalambulabwalo wa ufumu watsopano ndi kuti tidzalamulira naye limodzi!” Chisokonezo, kuthedwa nzeru, mantha – maganizo amene tonsefe timawadziwa bwino. zokhumudwitsa zoyembekezera. Ndipo Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Musadere nkhawa! Khulupirirani ine!” Iye anafuna kulimbikitsa ophunzira ake mwauzimu poyang’anizana ndi zochitika zowopsya zimene zinali kuyandikira ndipo anapitiriza kuti: “M’nyumba ya Atate wanga alimo malo okhalamo ambiri”.

Koma kodi mawu amenewa ananena chiyani kwa ophunzirawo? Mawu akuti "nyumba ya atate wanga" - monga momwe amagwiritsidwira ntchito m'mauthenga Abwino - amatanthauza kachisi wa ku Yerusalemu (Luka 2,49, Yohane 2,16). Kachisiyo analoŵa m’malo mwa chihema chopatulika, chihema chonyamulika chimene Aisrayeli ankalambiriramo Mulungu. Mkati mwa chihemacho (kuchokera ku Chilatini tabernaculum = tenti, kanyumba) munali chipinda cholekanitsidwa ndi nsalu yokhuthala yomwe inkatchedwa Malo Opatulikitsa. Iyi inali nyumba ya Mulungu (“chihema” m’Chihebri chimatanthauza “mishkan” = “malo okhala” kapena “mokhalamo”) pakati pa anthu ake. Kamodzi pachaka zinali zosungidwa kwa mkulu wa ansembe yekha kulowa m’chipindachi kuti azindikire za kukhalapo kwa Mulungu.

Ndiponso, mawu akuti “kukhala” kapena “kukhala” amatanthauza malo amene munthu amakhala, ndipo “m’Chigiriki chakale (chinenero cha Chipangano Chatsopano) kaŵirikaŵiri sanali kutanthauza malo okhazikika, koma kupuma paulendo , kumene kumakufikitsani. ku malo ena kwa nthawi yaitali ". [1] Zimenezi zikanatanthauza chinthu china osati kukhala ndi Mulungu kumwamba pambuyo pa imfa; pakuti kumwamba nthawi zambiri kumawonedwa ngati komaliza ndi komaliza kwa munthu.

Tsopano Yesu analankhula za chenicheni chakuti iye adzakonzekeretsa ophunzira ake malo okhala. Apite kuti Njira yake isamutsogolere molunjika kumwamba kukamanga nyumba kumeneko, koma kuchokera ku Chipinda Chapamwamba mpaka pamtanda. Ndi imfa yake ndi kuukitsidwa kwake, iye anayenera kukonzekera ake ake malo m’nyumba ya atate wake4,2). Zinali ngati akunena kuti, “Chilichonse chili pansi pa ulamuliro. Zimene zatsala pang’ono kuchitika zingaoneke ngati zoipa, koma zonsezi ndi mbali ya dongosolo la chipulumutso.” Kenako analonjeza kuti adzabweranso. M’nkhani ino iye sakuwoneka kuti akunena za Parousia (kudzanso kwachiwiri) (ngakhale kuti ndithudi tikuyembekezera kuonekera kwa ulemerero wa Kristu pa Tsiku la Chiweruzo), koma tikudziwa kuti njira ya Yesu inali yoti amutsogolere pa mtanda ndi kuti. patatha masiku atatu iye anali ngati imfa ya oukitsidwawo adzabweranso. Iye anabwerera kamodzinso mu mawonekedwe a Mzimu Woyera pa tsiku la Pentekosti.

“Ndidzabweranso ndi kukutengani pamodzi ndi ine, kuti kumene kuli Ineko mukakhale inu.” ( Yoh4,3),” anatero Yesu. Tiyeni tikambirane kaye mawu oti “kwa ine” amene agwiritsidwa ntchito pano. Ayenera kumvetsetsedwa mofanana ndi mawu a mu Uthenga Wabwino wa Yohane 1,1amene amatiuza kuti Mwana (Mawu) anali ndi Mulungu. Zomwe zimabwerera ku Greek "pros", zomwe zingatanthauze zonse "ku" ndi "pa". Posankha mau amenewa kufotokoza ubale wa Atate ndi Mwana, Mzimu Woyera akulozera ku ubale wawo wapamtima. M’Baibulo lina, mavesiwa anawamasulira motere: “Pachiyambi panali Mawu. Mawu adali ndi Mulungu, ndipo m'chilichonse adali ngati Mulungu..." [2]

Koma n’zomvetsa chisoni kuti anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti Mulungu ali kwinakwake kumwamba ngati munthu mmodzi yekha amene amationera patali. Mawu ooneka ngati osafunikira "kwa ine" ndi "pa" akuwonetsa mbali yosiyana kwambiri ya umulungu. Ndi za kutenga nawo mbali komanso kukondana. Ndi ubale wapamaso ndi maso. Ndizozama komanso zapamtima. Koma kodi zimenezo zikukukhudzani bwanji inu ndi ine lero? Ndisanayankhe funso limeneli, lolani ndifotokoze mwachidule za kachisi.

Yesu atamwalira, chophimba cha m’kachisi chinang’ambika pakati. Mng’alu umenewu ukuimira mwayi watsopano wa kukhalapo kwa Mulungu umene unatsegula nawo. Kachisi sanalinso kwawo. Ubale watsopano ndi Mulungu tsopano unali wotsegukira kwa munthu aliyense. M’matembenuzidwe a Baibulo la Uthenga Wabwino timaŵerenga mu vesi 2 kuti: “M’nyumba ya Atate wanga alimo malo okhalamo ambiri” M’malo opatulikawo munali malo a munthu mmodzi, koma tsopano kusintha kwakukulu kunali kutachitika. Mulungu anali atakonzeratu malo anthu onse mwa iye yekha, m’nyumba yake! Izi zinali zotheka chifukwa Mwana adasandulika thupi natiwombola ku imfa ndi mphamvu yowononga ya uchimo, kubwerera kwa Atate ndikukokera anthu onse kwa iye pamaso pa Mulungu (Yohane 12,32). Usiku womwewo Yesu anati: “Iye wondikonda Ine adzasunga mawu anga; ndipo atate wanga adzamkonda, ndipo tidzadza kwa iye, ndi kukhazikika kwa iye.” ( Yoh4,23). Monga mu vesi 2, “mokhala” akutchulidwa pano. Mukuona tanthauzo lake?

Ndi malingaliro ati omwe mumayanjana nawo nyumba yabwino? Mwina: mtendere, bata, chisangalalo, chitetezo, malangizo, kukhululuka, kupereka, chikondi chopanda malire, kuvomereza ndi chiyembekezo, kungotchulapo ochepa. Komabe, Yesu sanabwere pa dziko lapansi kudzangobwera kudzatipepesera ife kokha, komanso kudzatigawira ife malingaliro onse okhudza nyumba yabwino ndikutipatsa mwayi wopeza moyo womwe iye ndi Atate wake pamodzi ndi Mzimu Woyera akutsogolera.

Ubale wodabwitsa, wapadera komanso wapamtima umene unalumikiza Yesu yekha ndi Atate wake tsopano watseguka kwa ifenso: “Kuti kumene kuli Ineko, mukakhale inu” ikutero mu vesi. 3. Ndipo Yesu ali kuti? “mu ubale wolimba ndi Atate.” (Yoh 1,18, Good News Bible) kapena, monga mmene amanenera m’matembenuzidwe ena: “pa chifuwa cha Atate”. Monga momwe wasayansi wina akunenera kuti: “Kupuma pamiyendo ya munthu ndiko kugona m’manja mwake, kukondedwa ndi iye monga chinthu chimene amachikonda kwambiri, kapena, monga mwambi umanenera, kukhala bwenzi lake lapamtima.” [ 3] ] Ndiko kumene kuli Yesu. Ndipo ife tiri kuti tsopano? Ndife ogawana nawo mu ufumu wakumwamba (Aef 2,6)!

Kodi muli mumkhalidwe wovuta, wofooketsa, ndi wopsinjika pakali pano? Khalani otsimikiza: Mawu a Yesu otonthoza akulankhula kwa inu. Monga mmene poyamba ankafuna kulimbikitsa, kulimbikitsa ndi kulimbikitsa ophunzira ake, amateronso kwa inu ndi mawu amodzimodziwo: “Musadere nkhaŵa! Khulupirirani ine!” Musalole kuti nkhawa zanu zikulepheretseni, koma dalirani pa Yesu ndi kusinkhasinkha zimene akunena—ndi zimene amasiya osanena! Sakunena kuti ayenera kukhala olimba mtima ndipo zonse zikhala bwino. Sakulonjezani masitepe anayi kuti mukhale osangalala komanso olemera. Sakulonjezani kuti adzakupatsani nyumba kumwamba imene simungakhalemo mpaka mutafa—kupangitsa kuti ikhale yoyenera kuvutika kwanu konse. M’malo mwake, akufotokoza momveka bwino kuti anafa pa mtanda kuti atengere machimo athu onse, kuwakhomerera pamodzi ndi iye pa mtanda kuti chilichonse chimene chingatilekanitse ife ndi Mulungu ndi kuti moyo wa m’nyumba mwake ufafanizidwe.

Koma si zokhazo. Mukukokedwa ku moyo wa utatu wa Mulungu mu chikondi kuti muthe kutenga nawo gawo mu chiyanjano chenicheni ndi Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera - moyo wa Mulungu - maso ndi maso. Iye akufuna kuti inu mukhale gawo lake ndi chirichonse chimene iye akuyima pakali pano. Iye anati: “Ndinakulengani kuti mukhale m’nyumba mwanga.

Tate wa onse, tikukuthokozani ndi kukutamandani, amene mudakumana nafe mwa Mwana wanu pamene tidali kutali ndi inu, ndikutibweretsa kwathu! Mu imfa ndi m'moyo adalengeza za chikondi chanu kwa ife, adatipatsa chisomo ndikutitsegulira chitseko chaulemerero. Mulole ife amene timadya thupi la Khristu tikhale moyo wake wowukitsidwa; ife amene timamwa chikho chake timadzaza moyo wa ena; ife amene taunikiridwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndife kuunika kwa dziko lapansi.
