IT ndi limodzi mwamalemba ovuta kwambiri ngati osafooketsa onse:
Khalani angwiro, monga Atate wanu wakumwamba alili wangwiro. (Mateyu 5:48)
Kupima chikumbumtima tsiku ndi tsiku kumavumbula chilichonse koma ungwiro mwa ambiri a ife. Koma ndichifukwa choti tanthauzo lathu la ungwiro ndilosiyana ndi la Ambuye. Ndiye kuti, sitingathe kulekanitsa Lemba limenelo ndi ndime zina zonse za Uthenga Wabwino zomwe zili patsogolo pake, pomwe Yesu amatiuza momwe kukhala angwiro:
Koma ndinena kwa inu, kondanani nawo adani anu, ndi kupempherera iwo akuzunza inu (Mateyu 5:44)
Pokhapokha titayika tanthauzo lathu la "ungwiro" ndikumvera Yesu monga Mawu ake, tidzakhumudwa kwamuyaya. Tiyeni tiwone momwe chikondi cha adani athu chimatikwaniritsira, ngakhale tili ndi zolakwa.
Muyeso wa chikondi chenicheni si momwe timatumikira okondedwa athu, koma iwo omwe ndi "adani" athu. Lemba limati:
Koma kwa inu amene mukumva ndikunena kuti, kondanani ndi adani anu, chitirani zabwino iwo amene amadana nanu, dalitsani iwo amene akutemberera inu, pemphererani iwo amene akukuzunzani. Kwa amene akukumenya patsaya limodzi, umupatsenso linalo… (Luka 6: 27-29)
Koma mdani wanga ndani?
Ndi ochepa chabe mwa ife omwe tili ndi adani, koma tonse tili ndi iwo omwe amatipweteka mwanjira ina, ndipo tikhoza kukana chikondi chathu kwa awa. - Ms. Ruth Burrows, Kukhulupirira Yesu, (Paulist Press); zazikulu, Feb. 2018, p. 357
Iwo ndi ndani? Omwe atidzudzula, mwachilungamo kapena ayi. Iwo omwe akhala akudzichepetsa. Iwo omwe sanazindikire zosowa zathu kapena zowawa zathu. Omwe akhala osamvera komanso osaganizira, opanda chifundo komanso osaganizira ena. Inde, palibe poizoni padziko lapansi amene amalowa mumtima kuposa kupanda chilungamo. Ndi anthu awa omwe amayesa kukula kwa chikondi chathu-omwe timawapatsa mphwayi, kapena omwe tingawasangalatse pamaso, koma patokha, timakonza zolakwika zawo. Timawachepetsa m'malingaliro mwathu kuti timve bwino. Ndipo ngati tili achilungamo, timasangalala ndi zolakwa zawo ndi zolakwa zawo kuti muchepetse mbola ya chowonadi-ngakhale chowonadi chaching'ono-kuti mawu awo atibweretsa ife.
Ochepa a ife tili ndi "adani" enieni. Amakhala ngati njuchi zomwe mbola zawo sitimakumana nazo kawirikawiri. Koma ndi udzudzu womwe umatikwiyitsa kwambiri-iwo omwe amatha kuyalutsa madera amoyo wathu momwe ife sitili opatulika. Ndipo za awa, St. Paul analemba kuti:
Musabwezere munthu aliyense choipa chosinthana ndi choipa; khalani okhudzidwa ndi zinthu zabwino pamaso pa onse. Ngati ndi kotheka, khalani inu mwamtendere ndi onse. Okondedwa, musabwezere choipa koma siyirani malo mkwiyo; pakuti kwalembedwa, Kubwezera kuli kwanga, Ine ndidzabwezera, ati Ambuye. M'malo mwake, “ngati mdani wako ali ndi njala, um'dyetse; ngati ali ndi ludzu, um'patse chakumwa; potero udzaunjika makala amoto pamutu pake. ” Musagonjetsedwe ndi choyipa koma gonjetsani choyipa ndi chabwino. (Aroma 12: 16-21)
Ngati timakonda chonchi, tidzakhaladi angwiro. Bwanji?
Chikondi chanu kwa anzanu chikhale chachikulu, chifukwa chikondi chimakwirira machimo ochuluka. (1 Peter 4: 8)
Yesu akulongosola momwe Chilungamo Chaumulungu 'chophimba' zolakwa zathu:
Kondani adani anu ndikuwachitira zabwino… ndipo mudzakhala ana a Wam'mwambamwamba… Lekani kuweruza ena ndipo inunso simudzaweruzidwa. Lekani kutsutsa ndipo inunso simudzatsutsidwa. Khululukirani ndipo mudzakhululukidwa. (Luka 6:35, 37)
Kodi mukuwona tsopano momwe timakondera ena, monga Khristu adatikonda ife, Kodi “ungwiro” ndi wotani pamaso pa Mulungu? Pakuphimba unyinji wa machimo athu. Momwe mungaperekere ndi momwe mudzalandilirire kuchokera kwa Atate.
Kupatsa ndi mphatso kudzapatsidwa kwa iwe; muyeso wabwino, wokutidwa pamodzi, wogwedezeka, ndi wosefukira, udzatsanuliridwa m'manja mwanu. Pakuti muyeso womwewo muyesa nawo inu, kudzayesedwa kwa inunso. (Luka 6:38)
Ungwiro umakhala wachikondi monga Khristu anatikonda ife. Ndipo…
Chikondi chimaleza mtima, chikondi nchachifundo. Sichichita nsanje, [chikondi] sichidziwa kudzitamanda, sichidzikuza, sichichita mwano, sichitsata za mwini yekha, sichipsa mtima msanga, sichilingirira zoipa, sichisangalala pa zoyipa; koma likondwera ndi chowonadi. Chimakwirira zinthu zonse. (1 Akorinto 13: 4-7)
M'malo mwake, kodi sitili otsutsa, odzichepetsa, osaganizira ena komanso opanda chifundo? Nthawi iliyonse munthu akakakuvulazani, ingokumbukirani machimo anu ndi zopusa zanu komanso kuti Ambuye wakukhululukirani kangati. Mwanjira iyi, mupeza chifundo mumtima mwanu kunyalanyaza zolakwa za ena ndikunyamula zovuta za ena.
Ndipo kukhala angwiro.
