“Pakuti Mulungu analankhula ndi makolo athu mwa aneneri m’njira zosiyanasiyana nthawi yathu isanayambe, koma tsopano m’masiku otsiriza ano walankhula ndi ife mwa Mwana wake, amene Mulungu adalenga kumwamba ndi padziko lapansi, namuika wolowa nyumba wa zinthu zonse. Mwa Mwana muli ulemerero wa Atate wake, chifukwa analengedwa m’chifaniziro cha Mulungu” (Ahebri 1:1-3).
Akatswiri a za chikhalidwe cha anthu amagwiritsa ntchito mawu ngati "amakono," "post-modern," kapena "post-modern" kufotokoza nthawi yomwe tikukhalamo. Amalimbikitsanso njira zosiyanasiyana zolankhulirana ndi m'badwo uliwonse.
Nthawi iliyonse yomwe tikukhalamo, kulankhulana kwenikweni kumatheka pamene mbali zonse zikuyenda mopitirira kuyankhula ndi kumvetsera mlingo wa kumvetsetsa. Kulankhula ndi kumvetsera ndi njira zopezera phindu. Cholinga cha kulankhulana ndicho kumvetsetsa kwenikweni. Chifukwa chakuti wina akanatha kulankhula ndi kumvetsera wina ndipo motero anachita ntchito yake, sizikutanthauza kuti anthu ameneŵa anamvetsetsana. Ndipo ngati samamvetsetsana kwenikweni, samalankhulana kwenikweni, amangolankhula ndi kumvetsera mosamvetsetsana.
Ndi Mulungu ndi zosiyana. Mulungu samangomvetsera kwa ife ndi kutilankhula za zolinga zake, amalankhulana mozindikira. Chinthu choyamba chimene amatipatsa ndi Baibulo. Ili si buku lina lililonse, koma Mulungu wadzivumbulutsa yekha kwa ife. Kupyolera mwa iwo amatiuza chimene iye ali, mmene amatikondera, ndi mphatso zingati zimene iye amapereka, mmene tingam’dziŵire bwino ndi kulinganiza bwino miyoyo yathu. Baibulo ndi chitsogozo cha moyo wokhutiritsa umene Mulungu anafunira ana ake. Ngakhale kuti Baibulo liri lalikulu chotani, siliri njira yapamwamba kwambiri yolankhulirana.
Njira yaikulu imene Mulungu amalankhulirana ndi kudzera mwa vumbulutso lake kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Timaphunzira zimenezi kudzera m’Baibulo. Mulungu amalankhula za chikondi chake pakukhala mmodzi wa ife, kugawana nafe umunthu wathu, masautso athu, mayesero athu ndi zowawa zathu. Yesu anatenga machimo athu pa Iye yekha, anakhululukira onse, ndipo anatikonzera ife malo pamodzi ndi Iye pambali pa Mulungu. Ngakhale dzina la Yesu limasonyeza kuti Mulungu amatikonda. Yesu amatanthauza kuti: Mulungu ndiye chipulumutso. Dzina lina logwiritsiridwa ntchito kwa Yesu, “Imanueli,” limatanthauza “Mulungu ali nafe.”
Yesu si Mwana wa Mulungu yekha, komanso ndi "Mawu a Mulungu," amene amavumbulutsa Atate ndi chifuniro cha Atate kwa ife. "Mawuyo anakhala thupi nakhala pakati pathu, ndipo ife tokha tawona ulemerero wake waumulungu, ulemerero wa Mulungu woperekedwa kwa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha. Mwa iye chikondi cha Mulungu chokhululukira ndi kukhulupirika kwathu zafika kwa ife." (Johannes 1, 14).
Malinga ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu, “aliyense amene aona Mwana ndi kukhulupirira mwa Iye adzakhala ndi moyo wosatha.” (Johannes 6, 40).
Mulungu mwiniyo ndiye anachitapo kanthu kuti timudziwe. Ndipo amatipempha kuti tizilankhula naye mwa kuŵerenga malemba, kupemphera, ndi kuyanjana ndi ena amene amam’dziŵanso. Iye amatidziwa kale - si nthawi yoti timudziwe bwino?
