Banja Lofunika Kwambiri

Ngakhale ife kapena mngelo wochokera kumwamba
ayenera kulalikira kwa inu Uthenga Wabwino
osati amene tidakulalikirani inu;
akhale wotembereredwa!
(Agal. 1: 8)

IYO anakhala zaka zitatu pa mapazi a Yesu, kumvetsera mosamalitsa ku chiphunzitso Chake. Pamene Iye anakwera Kumwamba, Iye anawasiyira iwo “ntchito yaikulu” kuti “Mukaphunzitse anthu a mitundu yonse kuti akhale ophunzira anga . . . ( Mateyu 28:19-20 ). Ndiyeno Iye anawatumiza iwo “Mzimu wa choonadi” kutsogolera chiphunzitso chawo mosalephera (Yoh 16:13). Choncho, phunziro loyamba la Atumwi mosakayikira likanakhala lochititsa chidwi, lokhazikitsa mayendedwe a mpingo wonse… ndi dziko lapansi.

Ndiye Peter wati chani??

Banja Loyamba

Khamu la anthu linali kale “lozizwa ndi lozizwa,” popeza Atumwi anali atatuluka m’chipinda chapamwamba akulankhula malilime.^[1]cf. Mphatso Ya Malilime ndi Zambiri pa Mphatso ya Malilime — zinenerozi ophunzirawo sanazidziwe, koma alendo anamva. Sitiuzidwa zomwe zinanenedwa; koma onyoza atayamba kuwaneneza Atumwi kuti aledzera, ndipamene Petro adalengeza za homily yake yoyamba kwa Ayuda.

Pambuyo pofotokoza mwachidule zimene zinachitika, monga kupachikidwa, imfa, ndi kuukitsidwa kwa Yesu ndi mmene zimenezi zinakwaniritsira Malemba, anthu ‘analakwiridwa’nso.^[2]Machitidwe 2: 37 Tsopano, tiyenera kuima kaye ndi kulingalira za yankho lawo. Awa ndi Ayuda omwewo omwe anali okhudzidwa mwanjira ina pakupachikidwa kwa Khristu. Kodi nchifukwa ninji mawu otsimikizira a Petro anafikira mitima yawo mwadzidzidzi m’malo mowakwiyitsa? Palibe yankho lina lokwanira kupatula mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera mu kulengeza kwa Mawu a Mulungu.

Inde, mawu a Mulungu ndi amoyo ndi amphamvu, akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse, olowera ngakhale pakati pa moyo ndi mzimu, malo olumikizana ndi mafuta a m'mafupa, ndipo amatha kuzindikira zowunikira ndi malingaliro amtima. (Ahebri 4: 12)

Kukonzekera kwangwiro kwa mlaliki kulibe mphamvu popanda Mzimu Woyera. Popanda Mzimu Woyera, chilankhulo chokhutiritsa chilibe mphamvu pamtima wa munthu. —PAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi, n. Zamgululi

Tisayiwale izi! Ngakhale zaka zitatu pa mapazi a Yesu - pa mapazi ake! - sizinali zokwanira. Mzimu Woyera unali wofunikira pa ntchito yawo.

Izi zitanenedwa, Yesu anatcha chiŵalo chachitatu cha Utatu “Mzimu wa choonadi.” Choncho mawu a Petulo akanakhala opanda mphamvu ngati akanapanda kumvera lamulo la Kristu lakuti aziphunzitsa “zinthu zonse zimene ndinakulamulirani.” Ndipo apa pakubwera, Kutuma Kwakukulu kapena “uthenga wabwino” mwachidule:

Iwo anakhumudwa kwambiri ndipo anafunsa Petulo ndi atumwi enawo kuti: “Titani abale anga? Petro anati kwa iwo, “Lapani, batizidwani yense wa inu m’dzina la Yesu Khristu kuloza ku chikhululukiro cha machimo anu; ndipo mudzalandira mphatso ya Mzimu Woyera. Pakuti lonjezano laperekedwa kwa inu, ndi kwa ana anu, ndi kwa onse akutali, amene Ambuye Mulungu wathu adzaitana.” (Machitidwe 2: 37-39)

Chiganizo chomalizachi ndichofunika kwambiri: chimatiuza kuti kulengeza kwa Petro sikuli kwa iwo okha komanso kwa ife, mibadwo yonse yomwe ili “kutali.” Chotero, uthenga wa Uthenga Wabwino susintha “ndi nyengo.” Sichimakula kuti chiwononge chikhalidwe chake. Ilo silimayambitsa “zatsopano” koma limakhala latsopano mu m’badwo uliwonse chifukwa Mawu ali Wosatha. Ndi Yesu, “Mawu anasandulika thupi.”

Kenako Peter akulemba mawu akuti: “Dzipulumutseni ku mbadwo uno woipa.” (Machitidwe 2: 40)

Mawu pa Mawu: Lapani

Kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani kwenikweni kwa ife?

Choyambirira, tiyenera kubwezeretsanso chikhulupiriro chathu mwa mphamvu ya Mawu a Mulungu. Nkhani zambiri zachipembedzo masiku ano zimakhazikika pa kukangana, kupepesa, ndi kugundana pachifuwa kwachipembedzo - ndiko kuti, kupambana mikangano. Choopsa chake ndi chakuti uthenga wapakati wa Uthenga Wabwino ukusokonekera chifukwa cha kuchulukirachulukira kwa malankhulidwe - Mawu amatayika m'mawu! Mbali inayi, kulondola ndale - kuvina motsatira udindo ndi zofuna za Uthenga Wabwino - kwachepetsa uthenga wa Mpingo m'malo ambiri kukhala mawu omveka komanso osafunikira.

Yesu akufuna, chifukwa akufuna kuti tikhale ndi moyo wosangalala. -POPE JOHN PAUL II, Uthenga wa Tsiku la Achinyamata Padziko Lonse wa 2005, Vatican City, Ogasiti 27, 2004, Zenit

Ndipo kotero ndibwereza, makamaka kwa ansembe athu okondedwa ndi kwa abale anga mu utumiki: limbitsani chikhulupiriro chanu mu mphamvu ya kulalikira kwa Ambuye. kerygma…

…chilengezo choyamba chiyenera kumveka mobwerezabwereza: “Yesu Khristu amakukondani; Anapereka moyo wake kuti akupulumutseni; ndipo tsopano Iye akukhala pambali panu tsiku ndi tsiku kuti akuunikireni, kukulimbikitsani ndi kukumasulani.” —PAPA FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, n. Zamgululi

Kodi mukudziwa zomwe timaopa? Mawu lapani. Zikuwoneka kwa ine kuti Mpingo lero uli ndi manyazi ndi mawu awa, kuopa kuti tidzapweteketsa wina ... we adzakanidwa ngati sazunzidwa. Komabe, limeneli linali phunziro loyamba la Yesu!

Lapani, pakuti Ufumu wa Kumwamba wayandikira. (Mat. 4:17)

Mawu akuti kulapa ndi a chinsinsi chimene chimatsegula chitseko cha ufulu. Pakuti Yesu anaphunzitsa izo “Aliyense wochita tchimo ndi kapolo wa tchimo.” ( Yohane 8:34 ) Chotero, “lapa” ndi njira ina yonenera kuti “khalani mfulu”! Ndi mawu odzazidwa ndi mphamvu pamene tilengeza choonadi ichi mwachikondi! Mu ulaliki wachiwiri wolembedwa wa Petro, akubwereza mawu ake oyamba:

Chifukwa chake lapani, ndi kutembenuka, kuti afafanizidwe machimo anu, ndi kuti Ambuye akupatseni inu nthawi zakutsitsimutsa... (Machitidwe 3: 19-20)

Kulapa ndi njira yotsitsimula. Ndipo pali chiyani pakati pa ma bookend awa?

Ngati musunga malamulo anga, mudzakhala m’cikondi canga, monga Ine ndasunga malamulo a Atate wanga, ndipo ndikhala m’cikondi cace. Izi ndalankhula ndi inu, kuti chimwemwe changa chikhale mwa inu, ndi kuti chimwemwe chanu chikwaniritsidwe. (John 15: 10-11)

Ndipo kotero, phunziro loyamba, lalifupi kale, likhoza kufotokozedwa mwachidule: Lapani ndi kutembenuzidwa mwa kusunga malamulo a Khristu, ndipo mudzapeza ufulu, mpumulo ndi chisangalalo mwa Ambuye. Ndizosavuta ... osati zophweka nthawi zonse, ayi, koma zosavuta.

Mpingo ulipo lero chifukwa chakuti mphamvu ya Uthenga Wabwinowu yamasula ndi kusintha ochimwa ouma mtima kwambiri moti analolera kufa chifukwa cha chikondi cha Iye amene anawafera. M’badwo uno uyenera kuti umve uthenga uwu ukulalikidwanso mwatsopano mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera!

Osati kuti Pentekoste idasiya kukhala chenicheni m'mbiri yonse ya Mpingo, koma zazikulu ndi zosowa ndi zoopsa za m'badwo uno, zazikulu kwambiri zomwe anthu akukopeka ndikukhalapo padziko lapansi komanso opanda mphamvu kuti akwaniritse, palibe chipulumutso cha ichi kupatula pakutsanulidwa kwatsopano kwa mphatso ya Mulungu. —PAPA ST. PAUL VI, Gaudete ku Domino, May 9, 1975, Gawo. VII
