Uthenga Wabwino

Uthenga wabwino ndi uthenga wabwino wa chipulumutso kudzera mu chisomo cha Mulungu kudzera mu chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu. Ndi uthenga wakuti Khristu anafera machimo athu, kuti anaikidwa m’manda, mogwirizana ndi malemba, anaukitsidwa pa tsiku lachitatu, kenako anaonekera kwa ophunzira ake. Uthenga wabwino ndi uthenga wabwino wakuti tingalowe mu ufumu wa Mulungu kudzera mu ntchito yopulumutsa ya Yesu Khristu. (1. Korinto 15,1-5; Machitidwe a Atumwi 5,31; Luka 24,46-48; Yohane 3,16; Mateyu 28,19-20; Mark 1,14-15; Machitidwe a Atumwi 8,12; 28,30-31)

Munabadwiranji?

Anapangidwa ndi cholinga! Mulungu analenga aliyense wa ife ndi chifukwa chake - ndipo timasangalala kwambiri tikakhala ndi moyo mogwirizana ndi cholinga chimene watipatsa. Muyenera kudziwa kuti ichi ndi chiyani.

Anthu ambiri sadziwa kuti moyo n’chiyani. Amakhala ndi moyo ndipo amafa, amafunafuna mtundu wina wa tanthauzo ndi kudabwa ngati moyo wawo uli ndi chifuno, kumene iwo ali, ngati alidi ndi tanthauzo m’chikonzedwe chachikulu cha zinthu. Ayenera kuti adasonkhanitsa botolo labwino kwambiri, kapena adapambana mphoto ya kutchuka kusukulu ya sekondale, koma mwamsanga zolinga ndi maloto a achinyamata amadzetsa nkhawa ndi kukhumudwa chifukwa cha mwayi wophonya, maubwenzi olephera, kapena zambiri "zikanakhala" kapena "zimene zikanakhalapo. wakhala."

Anthu ambiri amakhala moyo wopanda kanthu, wosakwaniritsidwa wopanda cholinga choikidwiratu kapena matanthauzo opitirira kukhutiritsa kwakanthawi kochepa kwa ndalama, kugonana, mphamvu, ulemu, kapena kutchuka zimene sizitanthauza kanthu, makamaka pamene mdima wa imfa ukuyandikira. Koma moyo ukhoza kukhala woposa pamenepo chifukwa Mulungu amapereka zambiri kwa aliyense wa ife. Amatipatsa tanthauzo lenileni la moyo wathu—chisangalalo chokhala chimene Iye anatipanga kukhala.

Gawo 1: Munthu wopangidwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu

Chaputala choyamba cha m’Baibulo chimatiuza kuti Mulungu analenga munthu “m’chifaniziro chake.”1. Cunt 1,27). Amuna ndi akazi “analengedwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu” (ndime yomweyi).

N’zachidziŵikire kuti sitinapangidwe m’chifanizo cha Mulungu malinga ndi msinkhu, kulemera kapena khungu. Mulungu ndi mzimu, osati munthu, ndipo tinapangidwa ndi zinthu. Komabe Mulungu analenga anthu m’chifanizo chake, kutanthauza kuti anatipanga mofanana ndi Iye m’njira zofunika kwambiri. Timakhala ndi chidaliro, timatha kulankhulana, kukonzekera, kuganiza mwanzeru, kupanga ndi kumanga, kuthetsa mavuto ndi kukhala mphamvu ya dziko lapansi. Ndipo tikhoza kukonda.
 

Tifunika kulengedwa “motsatira Mulungu m’chilungamo chenicheni ndi m’chiyero.” (Aef 4,24). Koma nthawi zambiri anthu sali ngati Mulungu pankhaniyi. Ndipotu nthawi zambiri anthu akhoza kukhala osaopa Mulungu. Komabe, mosasamala kanthu za kupanda umulungu, pali zinthu zina zimene tingadalire. Chifukwa chimodzi n’chakuti Mulungu adzakhala wokhulupirika m’chikondi chake kwa ife.

Chitsanzo changwiro

Chipangano Chatsopano chimatithandiza kumvetsa tanthauzo la kulengedwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu. Mtumwi Paulo akutiuza kuti Mulungu akutiumba kukhala chinthu changwiro ndi chabwino—chifanizo cha Yesu Khristu. “Pakuti iwo amene iye anawasankha anawakonzeratu kuti akhale m’chifanizo cha Mwana wake, kuti iye akakhale woyamba kubadwa mwa abale ambiri.” 8,29). M’mawu ena, Mulungu anafuna kuyambira pachiyambi kuti ife tikhale monga Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu m’thupi.

Paulo akunena kuti Yesu mwiniyo ndi “chifaniziro cha Mulungu” (2. Akorinto 4,4). “Iye ndiye chifaniziro cha Mulungu wosaonekayo” (Akolose 1,15). Iye ndi chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri pa zimene tinalengedwa kuti tichite. Ndife ana a Mulungu m’banja lake ndipo timayang’ana kwa Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, kuti tione tanthauzo la zimenezi.

M’modzi wa ophunzira a Yesu anamufunsa kuti: “Tiwonetseni Atate.” ( Yoh4,8). Yesu anayankha kuti: “Iye wondiona Ine waona Atate” ( vesi 9 ). M’mawu ena, Yesu ananena zimene muyenera kudziwa zokhudza Mulungu zimene mumaona mwa ine.

Sakamba za maonekedwe a khungu, masitayelo a kavalidwe, kapena luso la kalipentala—amakamba za maganizo, maganizo, ndi zochita. Johannes analemba kuti Mulungu ndiye chikondi.1. Johannes 4,8), ndipo Yesu amatisonyeza chimene chikondi chili ndi mmene tiyenera kukonda monga anthu amene anapangidwa kukhala m’chifaniziro chake.

Popeza kuti anthu anapangidwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu, ndipo Yesu ndi chifaniziro cha Mulungu, n’zosadabwitsa kuti Mulungu amatiumba m’chifanizo cha Yesu. Ayenera kutenga “mawonekedwe” mwa ife (Agalatiya 4,19). Cholinga chathu ndi “kufika pamlingo wangwiro wa chidzalo cha Kristu.” (Aef 4,13). Pamene tikuumbidwanso m’chifanizo cha Yesu, chifaniziro cha Mulungu chimabwezeretsedwa mwa ife ndipo timakhala chimene tinalengedwa kuti tikhale.

Mwina simuli ngati Yesu tsopano. Ndizo zabwino. Mulungu akudziwa kale za izi, ndi chifukwa chake akugwira ntchito ndi inu. Ngati mumulola, adzakusinthani - kusanduliza inu - kuti mufanane kwambiri ndi Khristu (2. Akorinto 3,18). Zimatengera chipiriro - koma ndondomekoyi imawonjezera tanthauzo ndi cholinga cha moyo.

N’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu sachita zonsezo nthawi yomweyo? Chifukwa zimenezo sizimaganizira za munthu weniweni, woganiza, ndi wachikondi amene amati muyenera kukhala. Kusintha kwa maganizo ndi mtima, kusankha kutembenukira kwa Mulungu ndi kumukhulupirira, kungatenge kamphindi, monga chisankho choyenda mumsewu wina. Koma ulendo weniweni wa mumsewuwu umatenga nthawi ndipo ungakhale wodzaza ndi zopinga ndi zovuta. Mofananamo, zimatenga nthawi kuti munthu asinthe zizoloŵezi, makhalidwe, ndi maganizo ozika mizu.

Komanso, Mulungu amakukondani ndipo amafuna kuti muzimukonda. Koma chikondi ndicho chikondi pokhapokha ngati chiperekedwa mwaufulu, osati chikapemphedwa. Chikondi chokakamizika si chikondi ayi.

Zimakhala bwinoko

Cholinga cha Mulungu kwa inu sikuti mukhale monga Yesu zaka 2000 zapitazo - komanso kukhala monga Iye tsopano - woukitsidwa, wosafa, wodzazidwa ndi ulemerero ndi mphamvu! Iye “adzasandutsa thupi lathu lopanda pake kuti lifanane ndi thupi lake laulemerero, monga mwa mphamvu yoika zinthu zonse pansi pake.” (Afilipi 3,21). Ngati tagwirizana ndi Khristu m’moyo uno, “tidzakhalanso ngati iye pa kuuka kwa akufa.” ( Aroma 6,5). “Tidzakhala monga iye,” Yohane akutitsimikizira kuti (1. Johannes 3,2).

Paulo analemba kuti, ngati ndife ana a Mulungu, tingakhale otsimikiza kuti “ifenso tidzakwezedwa pamodzi ndi Iye ku ulemerero.” 8,17). Tidzalandira ulemerero wonga wa Yesu, matupi osakhoza kufa, osavunda, matupi auzimu. Tidzaukitsidwa mu ulemerero, tidzaukitsidwa mu mphamvu (1. Korinto 15,42-44). “Ndipo monga tinabvala chifaniziro cha wapadziko lapansi, momwemonso tidzabvala chifaniziro cha wakumwambayo” – tidzakhala ngati Khristu! (ndime 49).

Kodi mungakonde ulemerero ndi moyo wosafa? Mulungu anakupangani inu ndi cholinga ichi! Ndi mphatso yabwino kwambiri imene angafune kukupatsani. Ndi tsogolo losangalatsa komanso lodabwitsa - ndipo limapereka tanthauzo ndi cholinga ku moyo.

Tikawona mfundo ya pansi, ndondomeko yomwe tilimo tsopano imakhala yomveka. Zovuta, mayesero ndi zowawa m'moyo, komanso chisangalalo, zimakhala zomveka tikadziwa chomwe moyo uli. Tikadziwa ulemerero umene tidzalandira, mazunzo m’moyo uno adzakhala osavuta kupirira (Aroma 8,28). Mulungu wapanga malonjezo aakulu ndi amtengo wapatali kwa ife.

Kodi pali vuto apa?

Koma dikirani kaye, mungaganize. Sindidzakhala wabwino mokwanira ku ulemerero ndi mphamvu zotere. Ndine munthu wamba. Ngati kumwamba kuli malo angwiro, ndiye kuti sindine kumeneko; moyo wanga wasokonezeka.

Palibe vuto - Mulungu akudziwa, koma sizingamulepheretse. Iye ali ndi zolinga kwa inu, ndipo wakonzekera kale mavuto oterowo kuti athe kuthetsedwa. Chifukwa aliyense wasokoneza nkhaniyi; moyo wa aliyense uli wovuta ndipo palibe amene akuyenera kulandira ulemerero ndi mphamvu.

Koma Mulungu amadziwa kupulumutsa anthu ochimwa - ndipo ngakhale asokoneza zinthu kangati, amadziwa kupulumutsa.

Dongosolo la Mulungu lokhazikika pa Yesu Khristu – amene anali wopanda uchimo m’malo mwathu ndipo anavutika chifukwa cha machimo athu m’malo mwathu. Iye amatiimira pamaso pa Mulungu ndipo amatipatsa mphatso ya moyo wosatha ngati tikufuna kuilandira kwa iye.

Gawo 2: Mphatso ya Mulungu

Tonse timalephera, akutero Paulo, koma tayesedwa olungama ndi chisomo cha Mulungu. Ndi mphatso! Sitingayenere - Mulungu amatipatsa ife kuchokera mu chisomo ndi chifundo chake.

Anthu amene akudzipezera okha moyo safunikira kupulumutsidwa—ndi anthu amene ali m’mavuto amene amafunikira kupulumutsidwa. Oteteza moyo “sapulumutsa” anthu amene angathe kusambira okha – amapulumutsa anthu amene akumira. Mwauzimu tonse tikumira. Palibe aliyense wa ife amene amayandikira ku ungwiro wa Khristu, ndipo popanda iwo ndife ngati akufa.

Anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti tiyenera kukhala “oyenera” kwa Mulungu. Tiyerekeze kuti tifunsa ena kuti: “Kodi n’chiyani chimakupangitsani kukhulupirira kuti mudzapita kumwamba kapena kuti mudzakhala ndi moyo wosatha mu ufumu wa Mulungu?” Anthu ambiri angayankhe kuti: “Chifukwa ndakhala wabwino. Ndinachita izi kapena izo. "

Zoona zake n’zakuti ngakhale titachita zabwino zotani kuti tipeze malo m’dziko langwiro, sitidzakhala “oyenera” chifukwa ndife opanda ungwiro. Talephera, koma tayesedwa olungama ndi mphatso ya Mulungu ya zimene Yesu Khristu anatichitira.

Osati mwa ntchito zabwino

Baibulo limati Mulungu anatipulumutsa, “osati monga mwa ntchito zathu, koma monga mwa uphungu wake ndi chisomo chake.”2. Timoteo 1,9). Iye anatipulumutsa, osati chifukwa cha ntchito zachilungamo zimene tinachita, koma mwa chifundo chake.” (Tito 3,5).

Ngakhale ntchito zathu zili zabwino kwambiri, sichifukwa chake Mulungu amatipulumutsa. Tiyenera kupulumutsidwa chifukwa ntchito zathu zabwino sizingakwanire kutipulumutsa. Ife tikusowa chifundo ndi chisomo, ndipo Mulungu amatipatsa ife chomwecho kupyolera mwa Yesu Khristu.

Zikanakhala zotheka kuti tipeze moyo wosatha kudzera m’makhalidwe abwino, Mulungu akanatiuza mmene tingachitire. Ngati kutsatira malamulo kungatipatse ife moyo wosatha, Mulungu akanachita mwanjira imeneyi, Paulo akutero.

“Pakuti pakanakhala lamulo lopatsa moyo, chilungamo chikadachokeradi m’chilamulo” (Agalatiya 3,21). Koma lamulo silingatipatse moyo wosatha – ngakhale tikadakhoza kuusunga.

“Pakuti ngati chilungamo chili mwa lamulo, Khristu adafera pachabe” (Agalatiya 2,21). Ngati anthu akanatha kugwirira ntchito chipulumutso chawo, ndiye kuti sitikanafuna Mpulumutsi kuti atipulumutse. Sikunali kofunikira kuti Yesu abwere padziko lapansi kapena kufa ndi kuukitsidwa.

Koma Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi n’cholinga choti adzatifere. Yesu ananena kuti anabwera “kudzapereka moyo wake dipo la anthu ambiri” ( Mateyu 20,28 ) Moyo wake unali malipiro a dipo loperekedwa kutimasula ndi kutiombola. Baibulo mobwerezabwereza limasonyeza kuti “Khristu anatifera” ndiponso kuti anafera “chifukwa cha machimo athu” (Aroma 5,6-8; 2. Akorinto 5,14; 15,3; Agal
1,4; 2. Atesalonika 5,10).

“Mphotho yake ya uchimo ndi imfa,” akutero Paulo m’buku la Aroma 6,23“Koma mphatso yaulere ya Mulungu ndiyo moyo wosatha wa mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.” Tikuyenera imfa, koma tapulumutsidwa ndi chisomo cha Yesu Khristu. Sitiyenera kukhala ndi Mulungu chifukwa ndife opanda ungwiro, koma Mulungu amatipulumutsa kudzera mwa Mwana wake Yesu Khristu.

Kufotokozera za chipulumutso

Baibulo limafotokoza za chipulumutso chathu m’njira zambiri – nthawi zina limagwiritsa ntchito mawu a zachuma, nthawi zina limagwiritsa ntchito mawu okhudza nsembe, banja, kapena mabwenzi.

Mawu a zachuma akusonyeza kuti iye analipira mtengo kutimasula ife. Adatenga chilango (imfa) chomwe tidayenera ndikulipira ngongole yomwe tinali nayo. Iye amatenga uchimo ndi imfa yathu ndipo m’malo mwake amatipatsa chilungamo chake ndi moyo wake.

Mulungu amalandira nsembe ya Yesu chifukwa cha ife (pajatu iyeyo ndi amene anatumiza Yesu kudzapereka nsembeyo), ndipo amavomereza chilungamo cha Yesu chifukwa cha ife. Chifukwa chake, ife amene poyamba tinkatsutsa Mulungu, tsopano ndife mabwenzi ake (Aroma 5,10).

“Ngakhale inu, amene kale munali alendo ndi adani pa ntchito zoipa, iye tsopano wakuwombolani ndi imfa ya thupi lake la imfa, kuti akakuperekeni inu oyera, opanda chilema ndi opanda banga pamaso pake” (Akolose). 1,21-22 ndi).

Chifukwa cha imfa ya Khristu, ndife oyera pamaso pa Mulungu. M’buku la Mulungu, tinachoka pa ngongole yaikulu kupita ku mbiri yaikulu – osati chifukwa cha zimene tinachita, koma chifukwa cha zimene Mulungu anachita.

Mulungu tsopano akutitcha ife ana ake – iye anatitenga ife kukhala ana (Aefeso 1,5). “Ife ndife ana a Mulungu” (Aroma 8,16). Ndiyeno Paulo akufotokoza zotsatira zodabwitsa za kutengedwa kwathu ana: “Ngati tili ana, ndifenso olowa nyumba, olowa nyumba a Mulungu, olowa anzake a Khristu” ( vesi 17 ). Chipulumutso chikufotokozedwa ngati cholowa. “Anakuyeneretsani kukhala cholowa cha oyera mtima m’kuunika.” (Akolose 1,12).

Chifukwa cha kuwolowa manja kwa Mulungu, chifukwa cha chisomo chake, tidzalandira chuma - tidzagawana chilengedwe ndi Khristu. Kapena m’malo mwake, adzatigawira, osati chifukwa chakuti tachita kalikonse, koma chifukwa chakuti amatikonda ndipo amafuna kutipatsa.

Analandiridwa ndi chikhulupiriro

Yesu anatiyenereza ife; sanalipire chilango cha machimo athu okha, komanso machimo a anthu onse (1. Johannes 2,2). Koma anthu ambiri sakumvetsabe zimenezo. N’kutheka kuti anthu amenewa sanamvebe uthenga wachipulumutso, kapena amva mawu opotoka amene samveka kwa iwo. Pazifukwa zina sanakhulupirire uthengawo.

Zili ngati pamene Yesu analipira ngongole zawo, kuwapatsa ndalama zambiri ku banki, koma sanamvepo za izo, kapena sanakhulupirire, kapena kuganiza kuti analibe ngongole iliyonse. Kapena zili ngati pamene Yesu akuchita phwando lalikulu ndi kuwapatsa tikiti koma anthu ena asankha kusabwera.

Kapena iwo ndi akapolo akugwira ntchito m’dothi, ndipo Yesu anadza nati, “Ndinagula ufulu wako.” dziwani chomwe ufulu uli. Koma ena amamva uthengawo, akukhulupirira, ndipo amatuluka m’dothi kuti aone mmene moyo watsopano ndi Khristu ungakhalire.

Uthenga wachipulumutso umalandiridwa ndi chikhulupiriro—pa kukhulupirira Yesu, pakutenga mawu ake, ndi kukhulupirira uthenga wabwino. “Khulupirira mwa Ambuye Yesu, ndipo udzapulumuka, iwe ndi a m’nyumba yako.” ( 1 Akor6,31). Uthenga wabwino umakhala wogwira mtima kwa “aliyense wokhulupirira” (Aroma 1,16). Ngati sitikhulupirira uthengawo, sizikhala zothandiza kwa ife.

Inde, pali zambiri ku chikhulupiriro osati kungokhulupirira mfundo zina za Yesu. Zotsatira za mfundozo ndi zochititsa chidwi kwa ife - tiyenera kusiya moyo umene tinaulenga m'chifanizo chathu ndipo m'malo mwake titembenukire kwa Mulungu amene anatipanga m'chifanizo chake.

Tiyenera kuvomereza kuti ndife ochimwa, kuti sitiyenera kulandira moyo wosatha, ndiponso kuti sitiyenera kukhala oloŵa nyumba anzake a Kristu. Tiyenera kuvomereza kuti sitidzakhala “okwanira” kumwamba – ndipo tiyenera kukhulupirira kuti tikiti imene Yesu watipatsa ndi yabwinodi kuti tikhale nawo paphwando. Tiyenera kukhulupirira kuti mu imfa ndi kuuka kwake wachita zokwanira kuti alipire ngongole zathu zauzimu. Tiyenera kudalira chifundo ndi chisomo chake, ndi kuvomereza kuti palibe njira ina yoloweramo.

Kupereka kwaulere

Tiyeni tibwererenso ku tanthauzo la moyo m’kukambitsirana kwathu. Mulungu amati anatilenga ndi cholinga, ndipo cholinga chake ndi chakuti ife tifanane naye. Tiyenera kukhala ogwirizana ndi banja la Mulungu, abale ndi alongo a Yesu, ndipo tidzalandira nawo mwayi wa banja! Ndi cholinga chodabwitsa komanso lonjezo lodabwitsa.

Koma sitinachite mbali yathu. Sitinakhale abwino monga Yesu - mwachitsanzo, sitinakhale angwiro. Nanga n’ciani cingatipangitse kuganiza kuti tidzalandiranso mbali ina ya “chipanganocho”—ulemerero wamuyaya? Yankho ndiloti tiyenera kudalira Mulungu kukhala wachifundo ndi wodzala chisomo monga amanenera. Anatipanga ife ndi cholinga ichi ndipo adzakwaniritsa cholinga ichi! Tingakhale ndi chidaliro, akutero Paulo, kuti “iye amene anayamba ntchito yabwino mwa inu adzaitsiriza kufikira tsiku la Kristu Yesu.” ( Afilipi. 1,6).

Yesu analipira mtengo wake ndi kuchita ntchitoyo, ndipo uthenga wake – uthenga wa m’Baibulo ndi wakuti chipulumutso chathu chimabwera kudzera mu zimene anatichitira ife. Zochitika (monga Lemba) zimati sitingathe kudzidalira tokha. Chiyembekezo chathu chokha cha chipulumutso, moyo, kukhala chimene Mulungu anatipanga ife kukhala, ndi kudalira mwa Khristu. Titha kukhala ngati Khristu chifukwa, podziwa zolakwa zathu zonse ndi zolephera zathu, akuti adzachita!

Popanda Khristu, moyo ulibe tanthauzo - timakakamira mu litsiro. Koma Yesu akutiuza kuti wagula ufulu wathu, akhoza kutiyeretsa, amatipatsa tikiti yaulere yopita kuphwando ndi ufulu wonse wa katundu wabanja. Titha kuvomereza izi, kapena titha kuzikana ndikusiya chisokonezo.

Gawo 3: Mwaitanidwa kuphwando!

Yesu anaoneka ngati mmisiri wa matabwa wachabechabe m’mudzi waung’ono m’dera laling’ono la Ufumu wa Roma. Koma masiku ano anthu ambiri amamuona kuti ndi wofunika kwambiri kuposa wina aliyense. Ngakhale osakhulupirira amazindikira kuti iye anataya moyo wake kuti atumikire ena, ndipo mfundo imeneyi ya chikondi chololera kuvutikira ena imafika kukuya kwa moyo wa munthu ndipo imakhudza chithunzi cha Mulungu mkati mwathu.

Iye anaphunzitsa kuti anthu angapeze moyo weniweni ndi wokwanira ngati ali ofunitsitsa kusiya kumamatira kwawo ogwedezeka kumoyo ndi kuutsatira ku moyo wa ufumu wa Mulungu.
“Aliyense wotaya moyo wake chifukwa cha ine adzaupeza.” (Mat 10,39).

Palibe chimene tingataye, koma moyo wopanda tanthauzo, moyo wokhumudwitsa, ndipo Yesu amatipatsa ife moyo wokhutiritsa, wachimwemwe, wosangalatsa ndi wosefukira – kwa muyaya. Amatiuza kuti tisiye kunyada ndi kuda nkhawa, ndipo timakhala ndi mtendere wamumtima ndi chimwemwe m’mitima yathu.

Njira ya Yesu

Yesu akutiyitana ife kuti tigwirizane naye mu ulemerero wake - koma ulendo wopita ku ulemerero umafuna kudzichepetsa poika patsogolo anthu ena. Tiyenera kumasula mphamvu zathu pa zinthu za moyo uno ndi kumangirira pa Yesu. Ngati tikufuna kukhala ndi moyo watsopano, tiyenera kukhala okonzeka kusiya zakale.

Tinapangidwa kukhala ngati Yesu. Koma sikuti tikungotengera ngwazi yolemekezeka. Chikhristu sichimakhudza miyambo yachipembedzo kapena malingaliro achipembedzo. Ndi za chikondi cha Mulungu pa anthu, kukhulupirika kwake kwa anthu, ndi chikondi chake ndi kukhulupirika kwake, zomwe zinaonekera mwa Yesu Khristu mu thupi laumunthu.

Mwa Yesu, Mulungu amaonetsa chisomo chake; amadziŵa kuti ngakhale titayetse bwanji, sitidzakwanitsa patokha. Mwa Yesu Mulungu amatithandiza; amatumiza Mzimu Woyera mu dzina la Yesu kukhala mwa ife, kutisintha kuchokera mkati mwathu. Mulungu amatiumba kuti tizifanana naye; Sitiyesa tokha kukhala ngati Mulungu.

Yesu amatipatsa ife chisangalalo chosatha. Munthu aliyense, monga mwana m’banja la Mulungu, ali ndi cholinga ndi cholinga – moyo wosatha. Tinapangidwa ku ulemerero wosatha, ndipo njira ya ulemerero ndi Yesu, amene ali njira, choonadi ndi moyo (Yohane 14,6).

Kwa Yesu zinatanthauza mtanda. Iye akutiitananso kuti tigwirizane nafe mbali imeneyi ya ulendo. “Kenaka anawauza onse kuti, ‘Aliyense wofuna kunditsatira adzikane yekha ndi kunyamula mtanda wake tsiku ndi tsiku, nanditsate Ine. 9,23). Koma pa mtanda panali kuuka kwa ulemerero.

Phwando lalikulu

M’nkhani zina, Yesu anayerekezera chipulumutso ndi phwando. M’fanizo la mwana woloŵerera, atate anachitira phwando mwana wake wampatuko, amene m’kupita kwanthaŵi anabwerera kunyumba. “Bweretsani mwana wa ng’ombe wonenepa, mumuphe; tidye ndi kusangalala! Pakuti mwana wanga uyu anali wakufa, ndipo ali ndi moyo; anali wotayika ndipo wapezeka.” ( Luka 1 Akor5,23-24). Yesu anafotokoza nthanoyo kuti afotokoze mfundo yakuti kumwamba konse kumasangalala munthu akatembenukira kwa Mulungu (v. 7).

Yesu ananenanso fanizo lina la munthu (woimira Mulungu) amene anakonza “mgonero waukulu ndi kuitana oitanidwa ambiri.” ( Luka 1 Akor.4,16). Koma chodabwitsa n’chakuti anthu ambiri ananyalanyaza kuitana kumeneku. “Ndipo onse anayamba kupepesa mmodzimmodzi” ( vesi 18 ). Ena ankada nkhaŵa ndi ndalama zawo kapena ntchito zawo; ena anasokonezedwa ndi nkhani za m’banja ( vv. 18-20 ). Choncho Mbuye anaitana anthu osauka m’malo mwake (v. 21).

Ndi mmenenso zilili ndi chipulumutso. Yesu akuitana aliyense, koma anthu ena ali otanganitsidwa ndi zinthu za dziko lapansi kotero kuti sangayankhe. Koma amene ali “osauka,” amene amazindikira kuti pali zinthu zofunika kwambiri kuposa ndalama, kugonana, mphamvu ndi kutchuka, amafunitsitsa kubwera kudzasangalala ndi moyo weniweniwo pa mgonero wa Yesu.

Yesu ananenanso nkhani ina imene anayerekezera chipulumutso ndi munthu (woimira Yesu) amene anali pa ulendo. “Pakuti ali ngati munthu wotuluka kunja: anaitana akapolo ake, napatsa iwo chuma chake; Mmodzi anampatsa matalente a siliva asanu, wina awiri, ndi wachitatu imodzi, yense monga mwa mphamvu zake; ndipo anachoka” ( Mateyu 25,14-15). Ndalamazo zikhoza kuyimira zinthu zingapo zomwe Khristu amatipatsa; tiyeni tilingalire pano monga chithunzithunzi cha uthenga wa chipulumutso.

Patapita nthawi yaitali Master anabweranso ndipo anafuna kuwerengera. Aŵiri a akapolowo anasonyeza kuti anapindulapo kanthu ndi ndalama za mbuye wake, ndipo anafupidwa: “Ndipo mbuye wake anati kwa iye, Wachita bwino, kapolo iwe wabwino ndi wokhulupirika, unakhala wokhulupirika pa pang’ono; set; pita ku chisangalalo cha Ambuye wako” (Luka 15,22).

Mwaitanidwa!

Yesu akutiitana kuti tisangalale naye, kuti tizisangalala ndi moyo wosatha umene Mulungu watipatsa. Iye amatiitana ife kuti tikhale monga iye, kuti tikhale osakhoza kufa, osawonongeka, aulemerero ndi opanda uchimo. Tidzakhala ndi mphamvu zauzimu. Tidzakhala ndi mphamvu, luntha, kulenga, mphamvu ndi chikondi kuposa zomwe tikudziwa tsopano.

Sitingachite izi patokha – tiyenera kulola kuti Mulungu achite mwa ife. Tiyenera kuvomereza chiitano chake cha kutuluka m’nthaka ndi kupita ku madyerero ake aulemu.

Kodi munaganizapo zovomera kuitanidwa kwake? Ngati ndi choncho, simungaone zotsatira zodabwitsa nthawi yomweyo, koma moyo wanu udzakhala ndi tanthauzo latsopano ndi cholinga. Mudzapeza tanthauzo, mudzamvetsetsa komwe mukupita ndi chifukwa chake, ndipo mudzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, kulimba mtima kwatsopano ndi mtendere waukulu.

Yesu akutiitanira kuphwando losatha. Kodi mungavomere kuitanidwa?
