Kristu ndi Mbala Yabwino, Chititi (Tiziano Vecellio), c. 1566
APO lero pali chisokonezo chambiri ponena za tanthauzo la "chikondi" ndi "chifundo" ndi "chifundo". Moti ngakhale Mpingo m'malo ambiri wataya kumveka kwake, mphamvu ya chowonadi chomwe nthawi yomweyo chimakopa ochimwa ndikuwachotsa. Izi sizikuwonekeranso kuposa nthawi imeneyo pa Gologota pomwe Mulungu amagawana manyazi a mbala ziwiri…
CHIFUNDO CHAULURIKA
M’modzi mwa achifwamba awiri amene anapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Yesu anamunyoza kuti:
“Kodi sindiwe Mesiya? Dzipulumutse wekha ndi ife.” Koma winayo [wakuba] anamdzudzula, nati, Kodi suopa Mulungu kodi, pakuti ulangidwa iwenso? Ndipo ife taweruzidwa molungama, chifukwa chilango chimene tinalandira chikufanana ndi zolakwa zathu, koma munthu uyu sanachite chilichonse cholakwa.” Kenako anati: “Yesu, mundikumbukire pamene mulowa mu ufumu wanu. Iye anayankha kuti: “Ameni, ndinena kwa iwe, lero udzakhala ndi ine m’Paradaiso.” ( Yohane 23:39-43 )
Apa tikuyima modabwa, tiri chete mwachete ndi zomwe zikuchitika pakusinthanaku. Ndi nthawi yomwe Muomboli wa anthu akuyamba ntchito ubwino wa kuvutika ndi imfa yake: Yesu, titero kunena kwake, amati ndiye woyamba wochimwa kwa Iyemwini. Ndi nthawi yomwe Mulungu amawulula cholinga cha chikondi chake chodzipereka: kuchitira anthu chifundo. Iyi ndi nthawi imene mtima wa Mulungu udzatsegukira ndipo chifundo chidzasefukira ngati mafunde amphamvu, odzaza dziko lapansi ngati nyanja yakuya kosawerengeka, ikuchotsa imfa ndi chivundi ndi kuphimba zigwa za mafupa a anthu akufa. Dziko latsopano likubadwa.
Ndipo komabe, mu mphindi iyi ya chifundo yomwe idabweretsa mabiliyoni a angelo kuyimitsidwa, ndizoyenera chimodzi wakuba kuti chisomo chaumulunguchi chaperekedwa: “lero inu adzakhala ndi ine m’Paradaiso.” Yesu sananene kuti, “Lero nonse inu…. koma “anayankha iye,” ndiye wakuba wachiwiri. Apa tikuwona mfundo, kwambiri yosavuta mfundo imene yatsogolera chiphunzitso cha Mpingo kwa zaka 2000:
CHIFUNDO IMATSOGOLA KULAPA—
KUKHULULUKIRA MUMATSATIRA KULAPA
Kumbukirani mawu awa; gwiritsitsani kwa iwo monga momwe mungakhalire ndi moyo, kwa iwo Tsunami Yauzimu Kuthamanga kwachinyengo padziko lonse lapansi panthawi ino kumafuna kugonjetsa choonadi ichi, chomwe chimapanga kwambiri moni wa Barque wa Peter.
“Chifundo chimatsogolera kulapa”
Uwu ndi pamtima pa Mauthenga Abwino, cholinga chenicheni cha uthenga wa Khristu pamene Iye anayenda m’mphepete mwa nyanja ya Galileya: Ndabwera kudzakufunafuna iwe nkhosa yotayika.Awa ndi mawu oyambira ozama a Nkhani Yachikondi yomwe ikuchitika mumzere uliwonse wa Mauthenga Abwino.
Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti anapatsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti yense wakukhulupirira Iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha. Pakuti Mulungu sanatuma Mwana wake kudziko lapansi kuti adzaweruze dziko lapansi, koma kuti dziko lapansi likapulumutsidwe kudzera mwa iye. ( Yohane 3:16-17 )
Uku ndikunena kuti Chikondi sadathenso kudikira. Dziko linakhala ngati mkwatibwi wachigololo, koma Yesu, mofanana ndi mkwati wansanje, anafuna kutenga mkwatibwi wake wodetsedwa ndi wodetsedwa. Sanadikire kulapa kwathu; koma m’malo mwake, kusonyeza chikondi chake kwa ife, anatambasula manja ake, analasidwa chifukwa cha machimo athu, ndipo anang’amba mtima wake monga kuti: ziribe kanthu kuti ndinu ndani, ziribe kanthu momwe moyo wanu wadetsedwa ndi uchimo, ziribe kanthu momwe mwagwetsera kutali kapena momwe mwapandukira mowopsa…Ine, amene ndine Chikondi mwini, ndimakukondani.
Mulungu atsimikizira chikondi chake kwa ife mwakuti pamene tinali chikhalire ochimwa Kristu anatifera. (Aroma 5: 8)
Nangano n’chifukwa chiyani Yesu sanafutukule Paradaiso kwa mbala yoyamba?
“Kukhululuka kumatsatira kulapa”
Munthu sangatchule Mauthenga Abwino kuti ndi "Nkhani Yachikondi" ngati palibe awiri okonda. Mphamvu ya Nkhani imeneyi yagona ndendende muufulu umene Mulungu anapanga munthu, ufulu wokonda Mlengi wake—kapena osati. Mulungu amakhala munthu kuti afunefune amene samukondanso kuti amuyitanirenso ku ufulu ndi chisangalalo cha kukumbatira kwawo koyamba… gwirizanani. Ndipo n’chifukwa chake wakuba Wachiwiri yekha ndi amene akulowetsedwa ku Paradiso: Iye ndi mmodzi yekha mwa awiriwo amene akuvomereza zimene akuona patsogolo pake. Ndipo amavomereza chiyani? Choyamba, kuti Iye “anaweruzidwa molungama,” kuti iye ndi wochimwa; komanso kuti Khristu sali.
Aliyense amene adzandivomereza pamaso pa anthu, inenso ndidzamvomereza+ pamaso pa Atate wanga wakumwamba. Koma iye amene adzandikana Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzamukana pamaso pa Atate wanga wa Kumwamba. ( Mateyu 10:32 )
Ndithudi, n’zoonekeratu kuti akuba onsewo akudziŵa bwino lomwe, kuposa mmene tingayembekezere, za ntchito ya Yesu. Wakuba woyamba amavomereza, kumlingo wakutiwakuti, Kristu monga Mesiya; wakuba wachiŵiri amavomereza kuti Yesu ndi Mfumu yokhala ndi “ufumu”. Komano n’chifukwa chiyani wakuba wachiŵiri yekha ndi amene amaloledwa ku Bridal Chamber? Chifukwa chakuti kuvomereza Yesu pamaso pa ena kumatanthauza kuvomereza kuti Iye ndi ndani ndi amene ndine, ndiye wochimwa.
Ngati tibvomereza machimo athu, ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama Iye, ndipo adzatikhululukira machimo athu, natisambitsa kutichotsera cholakwa chilichonse. Tikati, “Sitinacimwa,” tikumuyesa wonama, ndipo mwa ife mulibe mau ake. ( 1 Yohane 1:9-10 )
Pano, Yohane wajambula chithunzi chokongola cha bedi laukwati la Mtanda. Khristu, Mkwati, amafuna “kuika” mwa Mkwatibwi wake “mawu” amene ali ndi mphamvu yobala moyo wosatha. Monga Yesu ananenera kwina: “Mawu amene ndalankhula kwa inu ndiwo mzimu ndi moyo.” [1]John 6: 63 Kuti “alandire” “mawu a moyo” amenewa, munthu ayenera “kutsegula” m’chikhulupiriro, kusiya uchimo, ndi kukumbatira Iye amene ali “choonadi.”
Palibe munthu wobadwa mwa Mulungu sachimwa, chifukwa mbewu ya Mulungu ikhala mwa iye; sakhoza kuchimwa chifukwa wabadwa mwa Mulungu. ( 1 Yohane 3:9 )
Ndi chikhulupiriro chake mwa Yesu, mbala yachiwiri inamizidwa kotheratu mu chifundo cha Mulungu. Mutha kunena kuti, panthawiyo, wakubayo adataya moyo wake wauchimo, anali kuchita kulapa kwake pamtanda, ndipo poyang'ana pa nkhope ya chikondi, anali atasinthidwa kale. kuchokera mkati kuchokera ku "ulemerero kupita ku ulemerero", ngati kuti anali kukonda kale Khristu m'njira yokhayo yomwe ili yowona:
Mukandikonda, sungani malamulo anga. (Juwau 14:15)
Onani momwe chifundo cha Mulungu chilili cholemera!
…chikondi chimakwirira unyinji wa machimo. ( Yohane 14:15; 1 Pet 4:8 )
Komanso mmene Mulungu alili wolungama.
Yense wokhulupirira mwa Mwanayo ali nawo moyo wosatha; koma amene sakhulupirira Mwanayo sadzawona moyo, koma mkwiyo wa Mulungu ukhala pa iye. (Yohane 6:36)
CHIFUNDO CHOONA
Chotero, Yesu akusonyeza chimene chifundo chenicheni ndi. Ndiko kutikonda ife pamene tili osakondedwa koposa; ndi kutiitana ife pamene tili opanduka; ndiko kutifunafuna pamene tatayika kwambiri; ndiko kutiitana ife
pamene ife tiri ogontha kwambiri; ndiko kutifera ife titafa kale mu uchimo wathu; ndi kutikhululukira pamene ndife osakhululukidwa kuti tikhale aufulu.
Mwa ufulu Khristu anatimasula; chifukwa chake chirimikani ndipo musabwererenso ku goli la ukapolo. (Agal. 5: 1)
Ndipo ife timalandira ubwino chifundo ichi ndicho ufulu, okha pamene tifuna kukondedwa; pokhapokha ngati tisiya kupanduka; kokha ngati tisankha kupezeka; pokhapokha titavomereza kumvera; pokhapo tikadzuka kumachimo athu popempha chikhululuko kwa zosakhululukidwa. Pokhapokha, pamene tiyamba kubwerera kwa Iye mu “mzimu ndi m’choonadi” ndi zitseko za Paradaiso zotsegukira kwa ifenso.
Chifukwa chake musanyengedwe, abwenzi okondedwa: koma iwo amene atembenuka kusiya machimo awo, osawakhululukira ngati mbala yoyamba, ali oyenera Ufumu wa Mulungu.
YAM'MBUYO YOTSATIRA
Tithokoze aliyense amene wathandizira
utumiki wanthawi zonse kudzera
mapemphero anu ndi mphatso.
