TO kupumula ndi Yesu mu Mkuntho sikumangokhala mpumulo, ngati kuti tiyenera kukhala osazindikira za dziko lotizungulira. Sizili choncho…

… Zina zonse zomwe sizingagwire ntchito, koma zogwirizana zogwira ntchito zonse ndi zokonda zonse - za chifuniro, mtima, kulingalira, chikumbumtima - chifukwa aliyense wapeza mwa Mulungu gawo loyenera kukhutira ndikukula kwake. —J. Patrick, Kufotokozera kwa Vine, p. 529; onani. Buku lotanthauzira mawu a Hastings

Ganizirani za Dziko Lapansi ndi njira yake. Dzikoli likuyenda mosalekeza, nthawi zonse limazungulira Dzuwa, potero limapanga nyengo; kusinthasintha nthawi zonse, kupanga usiku ndi usana; wokhulupirika nthawi zonse munjira yomwe Mlengi adaikonzera. Pamenepo muli ndi chithunzi cha tanthauzo la "kupumula": kukhala moyo wangwiro mu Chifuniro Chaumulungu.

Komabe, kukhala mu Chifuniro Chaumulungu sikungomvera chabe, mwachitsanzo, monga Mwezi. Iyonso imamvera imatsatira njira yomwe idakhazikika… koma siyilandira kapena kupanga moyo. Koma Dziko Lapansi — ngati kuti limalakalaka dzuwa ndipo ladzikongoletsa — limalowetsa kunyezimira kwake kosinthako, ndikusintha kuwala ku moyo. Momwemonso, mtima "wopumula" mozungulira Atate ndi Mwana ndi womwe umangolowetsa kuunika kwa Khristu - mu chisomo chake chonse - ndikuwasandutsa ntchito zabwino zomwe zimabala zipatso za chipulumutso mwa mozungulira iwo.

Nazi zomwe ndikutanthauza "kutengera": ku khumba, ku ludzu kwa Mulungu; kuchita ludzu la Kukhalapo Kwake; ludzu lanzeru Zake; ludzu la chowonadi, kukongola, ndi ubwino. Chikhumbo choyera ichi, ichi ludzu, ndiomwe amapanga msewu wina waukulu mmoyo wakusintha kwa kukhalapo kwa Mulungu. Monga Yesu adati:

Odala ali akumva njala ndi ludzu la chilungamo; chifukwa adzakhuta. (Mat. 5: 6)

Mawu oti "chilungamo" pano akutanthauza kufunitsitsa "kugonjera dongosolo la Mulungu la chipulumutso cha mtundu wa anthu." ^[1]mawu amtsinde, NABre, Mat 3: 14-15; 5: 6 Zimatanthawuza kwenikweni kukhala mwamuna kapena mkazi yemwe ali kutsata mtima wa Mulungu.

Ambuye wafunafuna munthu wapamtima pake. (1 Sam. 13:14)

Ndipo mtima wa Yesu ndi womwe ukuyaka, ukufuulira za chipulumutso cha miyoyo, pakuti Wake unali mtima wotsatira wa Atate Wake. Kuchokera pa Mtanda, Iye anafuula kuti: “Ndimva ludzu.” ^[2]John 19: 28 Nthambi ya hisope yothiridwa mu vinyo idakwezedwa pamilomo Yake, kutulutsa nthambi ya hisope yomwe idagwiritsidwa ntchito pa Paskha kufalitsa "mwazi wa mwana wankhosa" pamakomo a Aisraeli. Ludzu la Yesu limamutsogolera kukatsanulira mwazi wake wamtengo wapatali m'malo mwa anthu ochimwa. chikondi. Amanena motere:

Ndinena kwa inu, musadere nkhawa za moyo wanu, chomwe mudzadya [kapena kumwa], kapena thupi lanu, chimene mudzavala. Funani choyamba Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chilungamo Chake, ndipo zonse izi zidzapatsidwa kwa inu kupatula. (Mat. 6:25, 33)

Kodi tingapumule bwanji mwa Atate ngati mitima yathu sichigunda kayendedwe kofanana ka chikondi? Tingapume bwanji mwa Yesu ngati zokhumba zathu zili zotsutsana ndi zake? Kodi tingasunthire bwanji mu Mzimu ngati tili akapolo a thupi?

Ndipo kotero, mawa, tipitanso gawo lina mozama momwe tingamvere njala ndi ludzu lachilungamo, ndikupanga njira yaumulungu mu mtima, njira yachisanu, kuti Mpulumutsi abwere. Zowonadi, kukhala ndi "mtima wamwendamnjira" kumatanthauza kukhala ndi mtima wokonda Mulungu, kukhala ndi mtima wofuna Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndi mtima waku miyoyo. Woyenda ngati uyu amakonza njira yopangira mtima wa Mulungu kukhala wake…

CHidule ndi LEMBA

Ngati tili ndi mtima wathu kwa Mulungu, ndiye kuti ayamba kutipatsa Mtima wake.

Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo adzayandikira kwa inu. (Yakobo 4: 8)
