APA munayamba mwadzifunsapo kuti chifukwa chiyani timapulumutsidwa kudzera mu "chikhulupiriro"? Chifukwa chiyani Yesu samangowonekera kudziko lapansi kulengeza kuti watiyanjanitsa ndi Atate, ndikutiitanira kuti tilape? Chifukwa chiyani nthawi zambiri amawoneka ngati akutali, osakhudzidwa, osakhudzidwa, mwakuti nthawi zina timakhala ndi kukayika? Chifukwa chiyani samayendanso pakati pathu, ndikupanga zozizwitsa zambiri ndikutilola kuti tiyang'ane m'maso Ake achikondi?
Yankho ndi chifukwa ife tikanamupachika Iye kachiwirinso.
MUIYIREUKA PANGOZI
Kodi sizowona? Ndi angati a ife amene tawerengapo za zozizwitsa kapena kudziwonera tokha: machiritso akuthupi, kulowererapo kosamveka, zozizwitsa, kuyendera kwa angelo kapena mizimu yoyera, mizimu, zokumana nazo pambuyo pa imfa, zozizwitsa za Ukalisitiya, kapena matupi osayera a oyera mtima? Mulungu waukitsanso akufa m'badwo wathu uno! Zinthu izi ndizotsimikizika mosavuta ndikuwoneka m'nyengo ino yazidziwitso. Koma atachitira umboni kapena kumva za zozizwitsa izi, tasiya kuchimwa? (Chifukwa ndichifukwa chake Yesu adadza, kudzathetsa mphamvu ya uchimo pa ife, kudzatimasula kuti tikhalenso anthu mwa kuyanjana ndi Utatu Woyera. Ayi, sitinatero. Mwanjira ina, ngakhale pali umboni wowoneka wa Mulungu, timabwereranso munjira zathu zakale kapena timalowerera mayesero atsopano. Timapeza umboni womwe timafuna, kenako osayiwala.
VUTO LOPAMBANA
Izi zikukhudzana ndi chikhalidwe chathu chakugwa, ndi chikhalidwe cha uchimo womwe. Tchimo ndi zotulukapo zake zimakhala zovuta, zovuta, kufikira ngakhale kumalo osakhoza kufa monga momwe khansa imafikira ndikukula kwakanthawi kofanana ndi komwe kumakhalapo. Sichinthu chaching'ono kuti munthu, wopangidwa m'chifanizo cha Mulungu, kenako adachimwa. Kwa tchimo, mwa chikhalidwe chake, limabweretsa imfa mu moyo:
Malipiro a uchimo ndi imfa. (Aroma 6:23)
Ngati tikuganiza kuti "machiritso" a uchimo ndi ochepa, tiyenera kungoyang'ana pamtanda ndikuwona mtengo womwe udalipira kutiyanjanitsa ndi Mulungu. Momwemonso, momwe uchimo udakhudzira umunthu wathu wasokoneza chilengedwe chonse. Zaipitsa ndipo zikupitilira kuipitsa munthu mpaka ngakhale atayang'ana nkhope ya Mulungu, munthu amakhala ndi kuthekera kowumitsa mtima wake ndikukana Mlengi wake. Zodabwitsa! Oyera mtima, monga Faustina Kowalski, adachitira umboni mizimu yomwe, ngakhale idayimirira pamaso pa Mulungu atamwalira, imamunyoza ndikumutemberera.
Kukayika uku kwa ubwino Wanga kumandipweteka kwambiri. Ngati imfa yanga sinakutsimikizire za chikondi changa, ndichani? … Pali miyoyo yomwe imanyoza chisomo changa komanso zitsimikizo za chikondi changa. Safuna kumva kuyitanidwa Kwanga, koma apite kuphompho la gehena. —Yesu kwa St. Faustina, Chifundo Chaumulungu M'moyo Wanga, Zolemba, n. 580
Yankho losavuta
Yesu adadzipweteketsa yekha pa umunthu wake, potenga umunthu wathu ndi "kuyamwa" imfa yomwe. Kenako adaombola chilengedwe chathu pouka kwa akufa. Posinthana ndi Nsembe iyi, Amapereka yankho losavuta pamavuto amachimo ndi chilengedwe chakugwa:
Aliyense amene savomereza ufumu wa Mulungu ngati mwana sadzalowamo. (Maliko 10:15)
Pali zambiri pazonena izi kuposa zomwe timakumana nazo. Yesu akutifotokozera kuti Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chinsinsi, choperekedwa mwaulere, chomwe chingalandiridwe ndi iye amene akuulandira ngati mwana kudalira. Ndiye kuti, chikhulupiriro. Chifukwa chachikulu chomwe Atate adatumizira Mwana wawo kudzatipangitsa pa Mtanda chinali kubwezeretsa ubale wathu ndi Iye. Ndipo kungomuwona nthawi zambiri sikokwanira kubwezera ubale! Yesu, yemwe ndi Chikondi chomwecho, anayenda pakati pathu zaka makumi atatu ndi zitatu, zitatu mwa izo zaka zapagulu zodzaza ndi zizindikilo zodabwitsa, komabe Iye anakanidwa. Wina akhoza kunena kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani Mulungu samangoulula ulemerero Wake? Ndiye tikhulupirira! ” Koma kodi Lusifala ndi omutsatira ake a angelo sanayang'ane Mulungu muulemerero Wake? Komabe ngakhale anamukana Iye chifukwa cha kunyada! Afarisi adaona zozizwitsa zake zambiri ndipo adamumva akuphunzitsa, komabe nawonso adamukana ndipo adamupha.
CHIKHULUPIRIRO
Tchimo la Adamu la Hava lidali tchimo lalikulu kudalira. Sanakhulupirire Mulungu pamene anawaletsa kudya chipatso cha mtengo wakudziwitsa zabwino ndi zoipa. Chilondacho chimakhalabe mumunthu, mu thupi, ndipo tidzatero mpaka titalandira matupi atsopano pa chiukitsiro. Zimadziwonetsera ngati mgwirizano chomwe chili chikhumbo chofunafuna zilakolako za thupi m'malo mokhala moyo wapamwamba wa Mulungu. Ndiko kuyesa kukhutitsa zokhumba zathu zamkati ndi zipatso zoletsedwa m'malo mokonda chikondi ndi mapangidwe a Mulungu.
Chithandizo cha bala ili chomwe chikadali ndi mphamvu zotikokera kutali ndi Mulungu ndicho chikhulupiriro. Sichikhulupiriro chabe mwa Iye (pakuti ngakhale mdierekezi amakhulupirira mwa Mulungu, komabe, wataya moyo wosatha) koma kuvomereza kwa Mulungu, ku dongosolo Lake, ku njira Yake yachikondi. Ndikudalira choyamba kuti Iye amandikonda. Chachiwiri, ndikukhulupirira kuti mchaka cha 33 AD, Yesu Khristu adafera machimo anga, ndipo adaukanso kwa akufa—umboni za chikondi chimenecho. Chachitatu, ndiko kuvala chikhulupiriro chathu ndi ntchito za chikondi, ntchito zomwe zimawonetsera zomwe ife tiri: ana opangidwa m'chifanizo cha Mulungu amene ali chikondi. Mwa njira iyi-iyi njira yachikhulupiriro-Tabwezeretsedwanso kuubwenzi ndi Utatu (chifukwa sitikugwiranso ntchito motsutsana ndi ziwembu Zake, "dongosolo la chikondi"), ndipo, tidakwezedwa pamodzi ndi Khristu kumwamba kuti tikakhale ndi moyo wa Umulungu kwamuyaya .
Pakuti ndife ntchito ya manja ake, olengedwa mwa Khristu Yesu kuti agwire ntchito zabwino zomwe Mulungu adakonzeratu, kuti tikhalemo. (Aefeso 2: 8. 10)
Ngati Yesu akadayenda pakati pathu m'badwo uno, tikadampachikanso. Ndi chikhulupiriro chokha chomwe timapulumutsidwa, kutsukidwa ku machimo athu, ndi kupangidwa kukhala atsopano… timapulumutsidwa ndi ubale wachikondi ndi chidaliro.
Ndiyeno… ife tidzamuwona Iye maso ndi maso.
Kodi mungamuthandize pantchito yanga chaka chino?
Akudalitseni ndikukuthokozani.
Kuyenda ndi Mark mu The Tsopano Mawu,
dinani pachikwangwani pansipa kuti Tumizani.
Imelo yanu sidzagawidwa ndi aliyense.
