UBATIZO - NJIRA YOYA KUMWAMBA

In Gawo I, n’zoonekeratu kuti chipulumutso chimabwera kwa iwo amene alapa machimo ndi kutsatira Uthenga Wabwino. Khomo, titero kunena kwake, ndi Sakramenti la Ubatizo limene munthu amayeretsedwa ku machimo onse ndi kubadwanso mwathupi la Khristu. Ngati wina akuganiza kuti ichi ndi chinthu chapakatikati, mverani malamulo a Khristu:

Iye amene akhulupirira nabatizidwa adzapulumutsidwa; amene sakhulupirira adzaweruzidwa (Marko 16:16). Amen, inde, ndinena kwa iwe, ngati munthu sabadwa mwa madzi ndi Mzimu, palibe munthu angathe kulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu. ( Yohane 3:5 )

Zowonadi, kwa wakunja lerolino, Ubatizo uyenera kuwoneka ngati “chinthu chimene timachita” chokondeka chimene chimatuluka m’chithunzithunzi chabwino chabanja ndi chakudya chamadzulo chabwino pambuyo pake. Koma mvetsetsani, Yesu anali wofunika kwambiri kotero kuti Sakramenti ili lidzakhala lowoneka, logwira mtima, ndi zofunikira chizindikiro cha ntchito Yake yopulumutsa, kuti Iye anachita zinthu zitatu kuti zitsimikizire izo:

• Iye anabatizidwa yekha; ( Mateyu 3:13-17 )

• Madzi ndi mwazi zidatuluka kuchokera mu mtima mwake monga chizindikiro ndi gwero la masakramenti; ( Yohane 19:34 ) ndi

• Adalamula Atumwi kuti: “Chifukwa chake mukani, phunzitsani anthu a mitundu yonse, ndi kuwabatiza iwo m’dzina la Atate, ndi la Mwana, ndi la Mzimu Woyera.” (Mateyu 28: 19)

Ichi ndichifukwa chake Abambo a Tchalitchi amakonda kunena kuti, “Kunja kwa Tchalitchi, kulibe chipulumutso,” chifukwa ndi kudzera mu Mpingo kuti masakramenti, omwe Khristu akufuna, amafikira ndikuperekedwa:

Podzikhazika pa Lemba ndi Mwambo, Bungweli limaphunzitsa kuti Mpingo, woyendayenda pano padziko lapansi, ndi wofunikira kuti apulumutsidwe: Khristu ndiye mkhalapakati ndi njira ya chipulumutso; ali kwa ife m’thupi lake lomwe ndilo Mpingo. Iye mwiniyo anatsimikizira momveka bwino kufunika kwa chikhulupiriro ndi Ubatizo, ndipo potero anatsimikizira pa nthawi yomweyo kufunikira kwa Mpingo umene amuna amalowa mwa Ubatizo monga kudzera pakhomo. Chotero iwo sakanapulumutsidwa amene, podziŵa kuti Tchalitchi cha Katolika chinakhazikitsidwa monga chofunika ndi Mulungu kupyolera mwa Kristu, akakana kuloŵamo kapena kukhalamo. -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 846

Koma bwanji za awo amene anabadwira m’mabanja Achipulotesitanti? Nanga bwanji za anthu amene anabadwira m’mayiko achikomyunizimu kumene chipembedzo ndi choletsedwa? Kapena bwanji za awo okhala kumadera akutali a South America kapena Afirika kumene Uthenga Wabwino sunafikebe?

 

MKATI PANJA

Abambo a Tchalitchi anali omvekera bwino kuti munthu amene amakana dala Tchalitchi cha Katolika amaika chipulumutso chawo pangozi, chifukwa ndi Kristu amene anakhazikitsa Tchalitchi monga “sakramenti la chipulumutso.”^[1]cf. CCC, n. 849, Mat 16:18 Koma Katekisimu akuwonjezera kuti:

…Munthu sangaimbe mlandu wa tchimo la kulekana anthu amene pakali pano anabadwira m’madera amenewa [omwe anadza chifukwa cha kupatukana koteroko] ndipo amaleredwa m’chikhulupiriro cha Khristu, ndipo mpingo wa Katolika umawalandira mwaulemu ndi mwachikondi monga abale. … —Katekisimu wa Tchalitchi cha Katolika, 818

Nchiyani chimatipanga ife abale?

Ubatizo ndi maziko a mgonero pakati pa akhristu onse, kuphatikiza iwo omwe sanayanjanebe bwino ndi Tchalitchi cha Katolika: “Amuna amene amakhulupirira mwa Khristu ndipo anabatizidwa moyenerera amayikidwa mgulu ngakhale kuti ndi opanda ungwiro, amalumikizana ndi Tchalitchi cha Katolika. Olungamitsidwa ndi chikhulupiriro mu Ubatizo, [iwo] akuphatikizidwa mwa Khristu; chifukwa chake ali ndi ufulu kutchedwa Akhristu, ndipo ndi chifukwa chabwino amavomerezedwa ngati abale ndi ana a Tchalitchi cha Katolika. ” “Chifukwa chake ubatizo ndiwo sacramenti chomangira umodzi likupezeka pakati pa onse amene mwa ilo amabadwanso mwatsopano. ”—Katekisimu wa Tchalitchi cha Katolika, 1271

Izi sizikutanthauza, komabe, kuti titha kapena tiyenera kuvomereza momwe zinthu ziliri. Kugawanikana pakati pa Akhristu ndi nkhani yochititsa manyazi. Zimatilepheretsa kuzindikira “chikatolika” chathu monga mpingo wapadziko lonse lapansi. Iwo olekanitsidwa ndi Chikatolika amavutika, kaya akuzindikira kapena ayi, kulandidwa chisomo cha machiritso amalingaliro, thupi ndi auzimu omwe amabwera kudzera m'masakramenti a Confession ndi Ukaristia. Kusagwirizana kumalepheretsa umboni wathu kwa osakhulupirira omwe nthawi zambiri amawona kusiyana kwakukulu, kusagwirizana ndi tsankho pakati pathu.

Chotero pamene tinganene kuti amene anabatizidwa ndi kuvomereza kuti Yesu ndi Ambuye alidi abale ndi alongo athu ndipo ali panjira ya chipulumutso, izi sizikutanthauza kuti magawano athu akuthandiza kupulumutsa dziko lonse. N'zomvetsa chisoni kuti ndi zosiyana kwambiri. Pakuti Yesu anati, "Umu ndi momwe onse adzadziwa kuti ndinu ophunzira anga, ngati mukukondana." ^[2]John 13: 35 

 

ZOCHITA vs. CHIFUKWA

Chotero, bwanji ponena za munthu wobadwira m’nkhalango amene, kuyambira kubadwa kufikira imfa, sanamvepo za Yesu? Kapena munthu wa mumzinda woleredwa ndi makolo achikunja amene sanapatsidwepo Uthenga Wabwino? Kodi osabatizidwa awa akutembereredwa mopanda chiyembekezo?

Mu Salmo la lero, Davide akufunsa kuti:

ndipite kuti kucokera ku mzimu wanu? Ndithawira kuti kuchoka pamaso panu? ( Salimo 139:7 )

Mulungu ali paliponse. Kukhalapo kwake sikuli mkati mwa Chihema mokha kapena pakati pa gulu la Akhristu kumene “Awiri kapena atatu asonkhana” m'dzina Lake,^[3]onani. Mateyu 18: 20 koma imafalikira padziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo Kukhalapo Kwaumulungu uku, akutero St. mungathe sizizindikirika mkati mwa mtima mokha komanso ndi kulingalira kwaumunthu:

Pakuti zodziwika za Mulungu zimawonekera kwa iwo, chifukwa Mulungu adaziwonetsera kwa iwo. Chiyambireni kulengedwa kwa dziko lapansi, mphamvu zake zosawoneka ndi umulungu wake zatha kumvetsetsa ndikudziwika pazomwe adapanga. (Aroma 1: 19-20)

Ichi ndicho chifukwa chake, kuyambira kuchiyambi cha chilengedwe, anthu akhala ndi zikhoterero zachipembedzo: amaona m’chilengedwe ndi mkati mwake ntchito ya manja ya Wamkulukulu kuposa iye; ali wokhoza kufika ku chidziŵitso china cha Mulungu kupyolera "zokambirana ndi zokhutiritsa."^[4]CCC, n. 31 Chotero, anaphunzitsa Papa Pius XII:

…lingaliro la umunthu mwa mphamvu yake ya chibadwidwe ndi kuunika kungafikire pa chidziwitso chowona ndi chotsimikizirika cha Mulungu wa umunthu, Amene mwa chikhazikitso Chake amayang’anira ndi kulamulira dziko lapansi, ndiponso za lamulo la chilengedwe, limene Mlengi analembera m’mitima yathu. … -Humani Generis, Encyclical; n. 2; v Vatican.va

Ndipo kenako:

Iwo amene, popanda cholakwa chawo, sadziwa Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu kapena Mpingo wake, koma amene amafunafuna Mulungu ndi mtima wowona, ndipo, motengeka ndi chisomo, amayesa m'zochita zawo kuchita chifuniro chake monga momwe akudziwira kudzera chikumbumtima chawo — iwonso atha kulandira chipulumutso chamuyaya. -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 847

Yesu anati, “Ine ndine choonadi.” Mwa kuyankhula kwina, chipulumutso chimakhalabe chotseguka kwa iwo amene ayesa kutsata coonadi, kutsata Yesu, osamdziwa dzina.

Koma kodi zimenezi sizikusemphana ndi mawu a Khristu amene akuti munthu ayenera kubatizidwa kuti apulumuke? Ayi, chifukwa munthu sangaimbidwe mlandu wokana kukhulupirira mwa Khristu ngati sanapatsidwepo mwayi; munthu sangatsutsidwe chifukwa chokana Ubatizo ngati sanadziwe za “madzi amoyo” a chipulumutso kuyambira pomwe. Chimene Tchalitchi chikunena kwenikweni nchakuti “umbuli wosagonjetseka” wa Kristu ndi Malemba sutanthauza kusadziwa kotheratu kwa Mulungu waumunthu kapena zofuna za lamulo lachibadwidwe lolembedwa mkati mwa mtima wa munthu. Chifukwa chake:

Munthu aliyense amene sadziwa Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu ndi mpingo wake, koma amafuna choonadi ndi kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu mogwirizana ndi kumvetsa kwake, akhoza kupulumutsidwa. Zingaganizidwe kuti anthu oterowo akanatero adafuna Ubatizo momveka bwino akanadziwa kufunika kwake. -Katekisimu wa Katolika, n. Zamgululi

Katekisimu sakunena kuti “adzapulumutsidwa,” koma akhoza kukhala. Yesu ananenanso chimodzimodzi pamene, m’chiphunzitso chake cha Chiweruzo Chomaliza, ananena kwa iwo zasungidwa:

Ndinali ndi njala, koma munandipatsa chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu, ndipo munandipatsa chakumwa, ndinali mlendo, ndipo munandilandira, wamaliseche, ndipo mudandiveka, ndinali kudwala, ndipo munandisamalira ine, m’ndende, ndipo munadza kudzandichezera. Pamenepo olungama adzamuyankha kuti, ‘Ambuye, tinakuonani liti wanjala ndi kukudyetsani, kapena muli ndi ludzu ndi kukumwetsani? Tinakuonani liti mlendo ndi kukulandirani, kapena wamaliseche ndi kukuvekani? Tinakuonani liti wodwala, kapena m’ndende, ndipo tinadza kwa inu? Ndipo mfumu idzayankha iwo, inde, inde, ndinena kwa inu, ciri conse mudacitira mmodzi wa abale anga, ang'onong'ono awa, munandicitira ine. ( Mateyu 25:35-40 )

Mulungu ndiye chikondi, ndipo amene amatsatira lamulo la chikondi, kumlingo wina, amatsatira Mulungu. Kwa iwo, “Chikondi chimakwirira machimo ochuluka.” ^[5]1 Pet 4: 8

 

AKUTUMIKIRA

Izi sizimamasula Mpingo kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino kwa mafuko. Chifukwa cha maganizo aumunthu, ngakhale kuti ali okhoza kuzindikira Mulungu, wadetsedwa ndi uchimo woyambirira, umene uli “kuchotsedwa kwa chiyero choyambirira ndi chilungamo” chimene munthu anali nacho asanagwe. ^[6]CCC n. 405 Chifukwa chake, chibadwa chathu chovulazidwa “chimakonda kuchita zoipa” kumabweretsa “zolakwa zazikulu pankhani ya maphunziro, ndale, zochita za anthu ndi makhalidwe abwino.”^[7]CCC n. 407 Chifukwa chake, chenjezo losatha la Ambuye wathu limamveka ngati kuitana komvekera bwino ku ntchito yaumishonale ya Tchalitchi:

Pakuti chipata chili chachikulu, ndi njira yopita kuchionongeko ili yotakata; Pakuti chipata chili chopapatiza, ndi njira yopapatiza yakumuka nayo kumoyo ndi yopapatiza, ndimo akuchipeza chimenecho ali oŵerengeka. ( Mateyu 7:13-14 )

Komanso, sitiyenera kuganiza kuti chifukwa munthu wina amachita zinthu zopanda dyera kuti uchimo ulibe mphamvu pa moyo wake kwina. “Musaweruze potengera maonekedwe…” Khristu anachenjeza^[8]John 7: 24​—ndipo izi zikuphatikizapo “kuzindikiritsa” anthu amene ife tiri nawo kwenikweni sindikudziwa. Mulungu ndiye Woweruza womaliza wa ndani, ndi yemwe sanapulumutsidwe. Kupatula apo, ngati kuli kovuta kwa ife monga Akatolika omwe timabatizidwa, kutsimikiziridwa, kuvomereza, ndi kudalitsidwa kukana thupi lathu… kuli bwanji kwa iye amene sanalandire chisomo chotere? Ndithudi, ponena za awo amene sanagwirizanebe ndi Thupi looneka la Tchalitchi cha Katolika, Pius XII akuti:

…sangakhale otsimikiza za chipulumutso chawo. Pakuti ngakhale mwa chikhumbo chosazindikira ndi chikhumbo chawo ali ndi ubale wina wake ndi Thupi Lachinsinsi la Muomboli, iwo amakhalabe opanda mphatso zambiri zakumwamba ndi zothandizira zomwe zingathe kusangalatsidwa mu Tchalitchi cha Katolika. -Mystici Corporis, n. 103; v Vatican.va

Zoona zake n’zakuti palibe njira yoti munthu angakwere pamwamba pa kugwa kwake, koma ndi chisomo cha Mulungu. Palibe njira yopitira kwa Atate kupatula kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Uwu ndiye mtima wa nkhani yachikondi yayikulu kwambiri yomwe idanenedwapo: Mulungu sanasiye anthu ku imfa ndi chiwonongeko koma, kudzera mu imfa ndi kuuka kwa Yesu (ie. chikhulupiriro mwa Iye) ndi mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, sitingathe kungopha ntchito za thupi koma kubwera kugawana mu umulungu wake.^[9]CCC n. 526 Koma, akutero St. “Angaitana bwanji pa iye amene sanakhulupirira? Ndipo adzakhulupirira bwanji iye amene sanamva za iye? Ndipo angamve bwanji popanda wolalikira?” ^[10]Rom 10: 14

Ngakhale mwanjira zodziwikiratu kuti Mulungu atha kuwatsogolera iwo omwe, popanda cholakwa chawo, sadziwa Uthenga Wabwino, kuchikhulupiliro chimenecho chomwe sichingatheke kumusangalatsa, Mpingo uli ndi udindo komanso ufulu wopatulika wolalikira amuna onse. -Katekisimu wa Katolika, n. Zamgululi

Pakuti chipulumutso, pamapeto pake, ndi mphatso.

Koma siziyenera kuganiziridwa kuti chikhumbo chilichonse cholowa mu Mpingo chimakwanira kuti munthu apulumutsidwe. Ndikofunikira kuti chikhumbo chimene munthu ali nacho chogwirizana ndi Mpingo chikhale chamoyo ndi chikondi changwiro. Komanso chikhumbo chobisika sichingabweretse zotsatira zake, pokhapokha ngati munthu ali ndi chikhulupiriro champhamvu: “Pakuti iye wakudza kwa Mulungu ayenera kukhulupirira kuti Mulungu aliko, ndi kuti ali wobwezera mphotho iwo akumfuna Iye” ( Ahebri 11:6 ). —The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, m’kalata ya August 8, 1949, yolembedwa ndi Papa Pius XII; katolika.com
