Utumiki wa Yesu unali wobala zipatso modabwitsa. Anaphunzitsa ndi kuchiritsa anthu masauzande ambiri. Idakopa anthu ambiri ndipo ikadakhala ndi gawo lalikulu. Akadatha kuchiritsa ena masauzande ambiri akadapita kwa Ayuda ndi omwe sanali Ayuda omwe amakhala mdera lina. Koma Yesu analola kuti ntchito yake iwonongeke mwadzidzidzi. Akadatha kupewa kumangidwa, koma adasankha kufa m'malo mopitiliza kulalikira kwake mdziko lapansi. Ngakhale ziphunzitso zake zinali zofunika, sanangobwera kudzaphunzitsa komanso kufa, ndipo anachita zambiri ndiimfa yake kuposa momwe anachitira m'moyo wake. Imfa inali gawo lofunikira kwambiri pantchito ya Yesu. Tikaganizira za Yesu, timaganiza kuti mtanda ndi chizindikiro cha chikhristu, mkate ndi vinyo wa mgonero wa Ambuye. Wotiwombola ndi Wotiwombola amene anamwalira.
Chipangano Chakale chimatiuza kuti Mulungu anaonekera mu maonekedwe a munthu kangapo. Ngati Yesu akanangofuna kuchiritsa ndi kuphunzitsa, akanangowonekera. Koma iye anachita zambiri: anakhala munthu. Chifukwa chiyani? Kuti afe. Kuti timvetse bwino za imfa ya Yesu, tiyenera kumvetsa bwino imfa yake. Imfa yake ndi mbali yofunika kwambiri ya uthenga wachipulumutso ndiponso chinthu chimene chimakhudza Akhristu onse mwachindunji.
Yesu ananena kuti “Mwana wa munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kuti adzatumikira ndi kupereka moyo wake kuwomboledwa [multitude Bible and Elberfeld Bible: monga dipo] la ambiri” Mat. 20,28). Iye anabwera kudzapereka moyo wake nsembe, kuti adzafe; imfa yake iyenera “kugula” chipulumutso kwa ena. Ichi chinali chifukwa chachikulu chimene anadzera padziko lapansi. Mwazi wake unakhetsedwa chifukwa cha ena.
Yesu analengeza kukhudzika kwake ndi imfa yake kwa ophunzira ake, koma mwachiwonekere iwo sanamkhulupirire. “Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Yesu anayamba kuonetsa ophunzira ake mmene ayenera kupita ku Yerusalemu kukazunzidwa kwambiri ndi akulu ndi ansembe aakulu ndi alembi, ndi kuphedwa ndi kuukitsidwa tsiku lachitatu. Ndipo Petro anamtengera iye pambali, namdzudzula, nanena, Ambuye akupulumutseni, Ambuye! Musalole kuti zimenezi zikuchitikireni!” ( Mateyu 1 Kor6,21-22.)
Yesu ankadziwa kuti ayenera kufa chifukwa zinalembedwa choncho. “...Ndipo kunalembedwa bwanji za Mwana wa munthu, kuti adzamva zowawa zambiri ndi kunyozedwa?” ( Marko. 9,12; 9,31; 10,33-34.) “Ndipo anayamba ndi Mose, ndi aneneri onse, nawafotokozera iwo zonenedwa za iye m’Malemba onse... Momwemo kwalembedwa, kuti Kristu adzamva zowawa, nadzauka kwa akufa tsiku lachitatu” ( Luka 24,27 ndi. 46).
Chilichonse chinachitika motsatira dongosolo la Mulungu: Herode ndi Pilato anachita zimene Mulungu anapereka komanso malangizo amene ‘anawakonzeratu’ ( Mac. 4,28). M’munda wa Getsemane iye anachonderera m’pemphero ngati pakanakhala palibe njira ina; panalibe ( Luka 22,42). Imfa yake inali yofunika kuti ife tipulumuke.
Zinalembedwa kuti Ulosi womveka bwino kwambiri ukupezeka pa Yesaya chaputala 53. Yesu mwini ali ndi Yesaya 53,12 anagwira mawu kuti: “Pakuti ndinena kwa inu, Chiyenera kukwaniritsidwa mwa ine cholembedwa, Iye anawerengedwa mwa ochita zoipa; Pakuti zimene zinalembedwa za ine zidzachitika” (Luka 22,37). Yesu, wopanda uchimo, ayenera kuwerengedwa pakati pa ochimwa.
Ndi chiyani chinanso chomwe chalembedwa mu Yesaya 53? “Zoonadi iye ananyamula matenda athu, ndipo anatenga zowawa zathu. Koma ife tidamuyesa iye wozunzika ndi kukanthidwa ndi kuphedwa ndi Mulungu. Koma iye anavulazidwa chifukwa cha mphulupulu zathu, natunduzidwa chifukwa cha machimo athu. Chilango chili pa iye kuti tikhale ndi mtendere, ndipo ndi mikwingwirima yake ife tachiritsidwa. Tonse tinasokera ngati nkhosa, aliyense akuyang’ana njira yake. Koma Yehova anaponya pa Iye machimo a ife tonse” (ndime 4-6).
Iye “anasautsidwa chifukwa cha mphulupulu za anthu anga... Pamene anapereka moyo wake monga nsembe yopalamula...[iye] anyamula machimo awo...ananyamula machimo a anthu ambiri...ndi kupembedzera ochita zoipa” (ndime 8-12). Yesaya akulongosola za munthu amene amavutika osati chifukwa cha machimo ake koma chifukwa cha machimo a ena.
Munthu ameneyu “adzakwatulidwa m’dziko la amoyo” ( vesi 8 ), koma nkhaniyi siithera pamenepo. Iye ayenera “kuona kuwala ndi kuchuluka. Ndipo ndi kudziwa kwake, mtumiki wanga wolungamayo adzakhazikitsa chilungamo pakati pa ambiri…adzakhala ndi mbewu, nadzakhala ndi moyo wautali” (vesi 11 & 10).
Zomwe Yesaya adalemba zidakwaniritsidwa ndi Yesu. Iye anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha nkhosa zake ( Yoh. 10, 15 ). Mu imfa yake iye anasenza machimo athu ndipo anavutika chifukwa cha zolakwa zathu; adalangidwa kuti tikhale pamtendere ndi Mulungu. Kudzera mu kuzunzika ndi imfa yake, matenda amzimu wathu amachiritsidwa; ndife olungama - machimo athu achotsedwa. Zoonadi izi zakulitsidwa ndikukula mu Chipangano Chatsopano.
“Munthu wopachikidwa ndi wotembereredwa ndi Mulungu,” limatero motero 5. Mose 21,23. Chifukwa cha vesili, Ayuda anaona temberero la Mulungu pa munthu aliyense wopachikidwa, monga momwe Yesaya akulembera, kuti “anamenyedwa ndi Mulungu.” Ansembe achiyuda ayenera kuti ankaganiza kuti zimenezi zikanachititsa kuti ophunzira a Yesu afooke. Ndipotu kupachikidwako kunawononga chiyembekezo chawo. Mwachisoni, iwo anaulula kuti: “Ife tinali kuyembekezera kuti iyeyo ndiye adzawombola Israyeli” ( Luka 24,21). Ndiyeno chiukiriro chinabwezeretsa chiyembekezo chake, ndipo chozizwitsa cha Pentekosite chinamulimbitsa mtima kwambiri kuti alengeze ngwazi imene, malinga ndi zimene ambiri amakhulupirira, anali wotsutsa ngwazi kotheratu: Mesiya wopachikidwa.
“Mulungu wa makolo athu,” anatero Petro pamaso pa Khoti Lalikulu la Ayuda, “anaukitsa Yesu, amene inu munamupachika pamtengo ndi kumupha.” ( Machitidwe a Atu. 5,30). Mu "Holz" Petro akulola chitonzo chonse cha kupachikidwa kuti chimveke. Koma manyazi, iye akuti, si pa Yesu—ndi pa iwo amene anamupachika iye. Mulungu anamudalitsa chifukwa sanali woyenera temberero limene anakumana nalo. Mulungu anathetsa manyazi.
Paulo akulankhula temberero lomwelo mu Agalatiya 3,13 kwa: “Koma Kristu anatiwombola ku temberero la chilamulo, popeza anakhala temberero m’malo mwathu; pakuti kwalembedwa, Wotembereredwa ali yense wopachikidwa pamtengo...” Yesu anakhala temberero m’malo mwathu kuti timasuke ku temberero la chilamulo. Iye anakhala chinachake chimene iye sanali kuti ife tikhale chinachake chimene ife sitiri. “Pakuti anamuyesa uchimo m’malo mwathu amene sanadziwa uchimo, kuti ife tikhale chilungamo cha Mulungu mwa Iye.”2. Akor.
5,21).
Yesu anakhala uchimo chifukwa cha ife kuti tiyesedwe olungama kudzera mwa Iye. Chifukwa chakuti anazunzika chimene chinali choyenera ife, anatiwombola ku temberero—chilango—chachilamulo. “Chilango chili pa iye, kuti tikhale ndi mtendere.” Chifukwa cha chilango chake, tingakhale pamtendere ndi Mulungu.
Ophunzirawo sanaiwale mmene Yesu anafera mochititsa manyazi. Nthawi zina chinali cholinga cha kulalikira kwawo: “...1. Akorinto 1,23). Paulo anatchulanso uthenga wabwino kuti “mawu a mtanda” (vesi 18). Iye akudzudzula Agalatiya chifukwa chosaona chithunzi chenicheni cha Kristu: “Anakukopani ndani, popeza Yesu Kristu anapachikidwa pamaso panu?” ( Agal. 3,1.) Mwa ichi iye adawona mfundo yaikulu ya uthenga wabwino.
N’chifukwa chiyani mtanda uli “uthenga wabwino,” uthenga wabwino? Chifukwa tinaomboledwa pa mtanda ndipo pamenepo machimo athu analandira chilango choyenera. Paulo akutsindika kwambiri za mtanda chifukwa ndi chinsinsi cha chipulumutso chathu kudzera mwa Yesu.
Sitidzaukitsidwa ku ulemerero mpaka kulakwa kwa machimo athu kulipidwa, pamene ife tapangidwa kukhala olungama mwa Khristu monga "pamaso pa Mulungu." Ndipamene tingalowe mu ulemerero ndi Yesu.
Paulosi wakayowoya kuti Yesu wakafwira “chifukwa cha ise.” (Rom. 5,6-8; 2. Akorinto 5:14; 1. Thess. 5,10); ndipo “chifukwa cha machimo athu” anafa (1. Korinto 15,3; Agal. 1,4). Iye “ananyamula machimo athu m’thupi lake pamtengo” (1. peter 2,24; 3,18). Paulo akupitiriza kunena kuti tinafa ndi Khristu (Arom. 6,3-8 ndi). Mwa kukhulupirira mwa iye timagawana nawo imfa yake.
Ngati tivomereza Yesu Khristu kukhala Mpulumutsi wathu, imfa yake imawerengedwa ngati yathu; machimo athu amawerengedwa kuti ndi ake, ndipo imfa yake imalipira mphotho ya machimo amenewo. Zili ngati kupachikidwa pamtanda, monga kulandira temberero lomwe machimo athu adatibweretsera. Koma adatichitira, ndipo chifukwa adazichita, titha kulungamitsidwa, ndiko kuti, kuwerengedwa olungama. Iye amatenga tchimo lathu ndi imfa yathu; amatipatsa ife chilungamo ndi moyo. Kalonga wasanduka mwana wopemphapempha kotero kuti anyamata opemphaponso timakhala akalonga.
Ngakhale kuti Baibulo limanena kuti Yesu anapereka dipo (m’lingaliro lakale la chiwombolo: dipo, dipo) chifukwa cha ife, dipo silinaperekedwe ku ulamuliro wina uliwonse—ndi mawu ophiphiritsa amene akufuna kumveketsa bwino lomwe anatitengera mtengo wokwera kwambiri kuti atimasulire. “Munagulidwa ndi mtengo wake wapatali” ndi mmene Paulo akulongosolera chiombolo chathu kudzera mwa Yesu: Awanso ndi mawu ophiphiritsa. Yesu “anatigula” koma “sanalipire” aliyense.
Ena anena kuti Yesu anafa kuti akwaniritse zonena zalamulo za atate—koma wina anganenenso kuti anali atate mwiniyo amene analipira mtengowo mwa kutumiza ndi kupereka mwana wake mmodzi yekhayo. 3,16; Rom. 5,8). Mwa Khristu, Mulungu mwini anatenga chilango - kotero ife sitikanayenera kutero; “Pakuti mwa chisomo cha Mulungu alawe imfa m’malo mwa onse.” (Aheb. 2,9).
Mulungu amakonda anthu – koma amadana ndi uchimo chifukwa uchimo umapweteka anthu. Conco, padzakhala “tsiku la mkwiyo” pamene Mulungu adzaweluza dziko lapansi (Aroma ). 1,18; 2,5).
Amene amakana choonadi adzalangidwa ( 2, 8 ). Aliyense amene akana choonadi cha chisomo chaumulungu adzaphunzira mbali ina ya Mulungu, mkwiyo wake. Mulungu akufuna kuti aliyense alape (2. peter 3,9) Koma amene salapa adzamva zotsatira za tchimo lawo.
Mu imfa ya Yesu machimo athu akhululukidwa, ndipo kupyolera mu imfa yake timapulumuka ku mkwiyo wa Mulungu, chilango cha uchimo. Komabe, zimenezi sizikutanthauza kuti Yesu wachikondi anakhazika mtima pansi Mulungu wokwiya kapena, “anamugula mwakachetechete” pamlingo winawake. Yesu amakwiya ndi uchimo monga momwe Atate amachitira. Yesu sali woweruza wa dziko lapansi amene amakonda ochimwa kuti alipire chilango cha machimo awo, koma iyenso ndi woweruza wa dziko lapansi amene amatsutsa ( Mat.5,31-46 ndi).
Mulungu akatikhululukira, samangotsuka tchimo ndikudziyesa kuti silinakhaleko. Mu Chipangano Chatsopano chonse, amaphunzitsa kuti tchimo limagonjetsedwa kudzera mu imfa ya Yesu. Tchimo limakhala ndi zotsatira zoyipa - zotulukapo zomwe titha kuwona pamtanda wa Khristu. Zinamupweteketsa Yesu chisoni, manyazi ndi imfa. Ananyamula chilango choyenera ife.
Uthenga wabwino umavumbula kuti Mulungu amachita chilungamo pamene amatikhululukira (Arom. 1,17). Sanyalanyaza machimo athu koma amachita nawo mwa Yesu Khristu. “Iye amene Mulungu anamuika kukhala chikhulupiriro, chitetezero m’mwazi wake, kutsimikizira chilungamo chake.” ( Aroma )3,25). Mtanda umavumbula kuti Mulungu ndi wolungama; zimasonyeza kuti tchimo ndi lalikulu kwambiri moti silingathe kunyalanyazidwa. Ndikoyenera kuti uchimo ulangidwe, ndipo Yesu mofunitsitsa anatenga chilango chathu. Kuphatikiza pa chilungamo cha Mulungu, mtanda umaonetsanso chikondi cha Mulungu (Arom. 5,8).
Monga momwe Yesaya akunenera, tili pamtendere ndi Mulungu chifukwa Kristu analangidwa. Poyamba tinali kutali ndi Mulungu, koma tsopano tayandikira kwa iye kudzera mwa Khristu (Aef. 2,13). Mwa kuyankhula kwina, timayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu kudzera mu mtanda (v. 16). Ndi chikhulupiriro choyambirira chachikristu chakuti unansi wathu ndi Mulungu umadalira pa imfa ya Yesu Kristu.
Chikhristu: uwu si mndandanda wa malamulo. Chikhristu ndi chikhulupiliro chakuti Khristu anachita zonse zomwe tingafune kuti tikonze ndi Mulungu - ndipo anachita pa mtanda. Tinayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu mu imfa ya Mwana wake pamene tinali adani. 5,10). Kudzera mwa Khristu, Mulungu anayanjanitsa chilengedwe chonse “popanga mtendere mwa mwazi wake pa mtanda” (Akolose. 1,20). Ngati tiyanjanitsidwa kudzera mwa iye, timakhululukidwa machimo onse (vesi 22) - chiyanjanitso, chikhululukiro ndi chilungamo zonse zimatanthauza chinthu chimodzi: mtendere ndi Mulungu.
Paulo anagwiritsa ntchito fanizo lochititsa chidwi la chipulumutso pamene analemba kuti Yesu “analanda mphamvu ndi maulamuliro a mphamvu zawo, nawaika poyera, nawapambana mwa Kristu [a. tr.: kudzera pamtanda]” (Akolose 2,15). Amagwiritsa ntchito chifaniziro cha gulu lankhondo: mkulu wopambana amatsogolera akaidi a adani pagulu lachipambano. Mwalandidwa zida, mwachititsidwa manyazi, powonekera. Zimene Paulo akunena apa n’zakuti Yesu anachita zimenezi pa mtanda.
Chimene chinkawoneka ngati imfa yochititsa manyazi kwenikweni chinali chigonjetso chaufumu wa chikonzero cha Mulungu, chifukwa ndi kudzera pa mtanda pamene Yesu anagonjetsa adani awo, Satana, uchimo ndi imfa. Zonena zawo pa ife zakhutitsidwa kotheratu ndi imfa ya munthu wosalakwayo. Sangapemphe zambiri kuposa zomwe zalipidwa kale. Mwa imfa yake, timauzidwa kuti Yesu anachotsa mphamvu ya “iye amene anali ndi mphamvu pa imfa, ndiye Mdyerekezi.” (Aheb. 2,14). "...Pachifukwa ichi Mwana wa Mulungu adawonekera, kuti akawononge ntchito za mdierekezi" (1. Yoh. 3,8). Chigonjetso chinapindula pa mtanda.
Imfa ya Yesu imafotokozedwanso kuti ndi nsembe. Lingaliro la nsembe limachokera ku miyambo yochuluka ya Chipangano Chakale yopereka nsembe. Yesaya akuti Mlengi wathu “nsembe ya kupalamula” (Deut3,10). Yohane M’batizi anamutcha “Mwanawankhosa wa Mulungu, amene achotsa uchimo wa dziko.” ( Yoh. 1,29). Paulo akumuonetsa ngati nsembe yochotsera machimo, nsembe yauchimo, mwanawankhosa wa Paskha, nsembe ya zofukiza (Arom. 3,25; 8,3; 1. Akorinto 5,7; Aef. 5,2). Kalata yopita kwa Ahebri imamutcha nsembe yamachimo (10,12). Yohane anamutcha nsembe yochotsera machimo “chifukwa cha machimo athu” (1. Yoh. 2,2; 4,10).
Pali maina angapo a zimene Yesu anachita pa mtanda. Olemba a Chipangano Chatsopano amagwiritsa ntchito mawu ndi zithunzi zosiyanasiyana pa izi. Kusankha kweni kweni kwa mawu, makina enieniwo sakhala otsimikiza. Chofunika ndi chakuti tinapulumutsidwa kudzera mu imfa ya Yesu, kuti imfa yake yokha ndiyo imatsegula chipulumutso kwa ife. “Ndi mikwingwirima yake ife tachiritsidwa.” Iye anafa kuti atimasula ife, kuti afafanize machimo athu, kumva zowawa zathu, kugula chipulumutso chathu. “Okondedwa, ngati Mulungu anatikonda ife kotero, ifenso tikondane wina ndi mnzake.”1. Yoh. 4,11).
Kulemera kwa ntchito ya Khristu kumafotokozedwa mu Chipangano Chatsopano kudzera pazithunzi zambiri. Titha kutcha zithunzizi fanizo, mawonekedwe, mafanizo. Aliyense ajambula gawo la chithunzichi:
