Mawu a Mulungu ndi nzeru za Mulungu n'zodzaza ndi chilungamo. "Inu ndinu Mulungu. Mpando wanu wachifumu udzakhala mpaka kalekale. Ufumu wanu udzalamuliridwa ndi chabwino." Ahebri 1:8.
Yesu anali munthu wachimwemwe kwambiri padziko lapansi chifukwa Iye anakonda chilungamo, monga momwe zalembedwera pa Ahebri 1:9. Chilungamo ndicho kuchita chabwino pamaso pa Mulungu. Zimabweretsa dalitso. Zimabweretsa mtendere ndi chimwemwe. Ndi lamulo la ufumu wa Mulungu. Chotero, kuphunzira chilungamo kumapereka mphotho zazikulu, ponse paŵiri kaamba ka moyo uno ndi umuyaya wonse. Zimakhudza osati ife okha komanso anthu otizungulira - chitaganya chomwe tikukhalamo.
Nazi zina mwa mphoto zomwe timapeza ngati titsatira chilungamo ndi mitima yathu yonse:
Kusangalala kudziwa zomwe zikubwera
Kukhala wolungama ndiko kuchita chabwino ndi chabwino pamaso pa Mulungu. Poyamba, zingaoneke ngati kuti kuchita chilungamo n'kovuta, koma m'kupita kwa nthawi, pali mphoto yaikulu.
Ganizirani za moyo wa munthu amene akufuna kukhala katswiri wosewera mpira. Amadziŵa kuti ayenera kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi ena ndi kudya zakudya zina zathanzi ngati akufuna kukhala bwino. Ngakhale masiku ena amangofuna kudya chilichonse chomwe akufuna kudya, amasankha kuti asatero akakumbukira cholinga chake - kukhala wosewera mpira wamkulu. Ndipo pambuyo pake amasangalala kwambiri kuti anasankha bwino. Koma akanasankha molakwika, akanapepesa pambuyo pake.
N'chimodzimodzinso m'dera lililonse. Chilungamo chimabweretsa chimwemwe chozama kwambiri kuposa nthawi yochepa kwambiri ya "chimwemwe" chimene timakumana nacho tikamagonja ku uchimo. Ngati nthawi zonse tisankha chilungamo, tingayembekezere tsogolo labwino (Yeremiya 29:11) lomwe ndi losangalatsa kwambiri kuposa moyo wodzaza ndi zosankha zoipa ndikuyembekezera poopa zotsatira zoopsa zomwe zidzayenera kukolola. Ntchito zolungama ndizo ndalama zamtsogolo!
Mpumulo wangwiro ndi mtendere zomwe sizingagwedezeke
Yesu anakhala Kalonga wa Mtendere, ndipo Iye asanachoke padziko lino lapansi, Iye anati kwa ophunzira Ake , "Ndikukusiyani ndi mphatso—mtendere wa maganizo ndi mtima. Ndipo mtendere umene ndimapereka ndi mphatso imene dziko silingapereke." Yohane 14:27.
Taganizirani pamene Yesu anaima pamaso pa Pontiyo Pilato. Kodi zinatheka bwanji kuti Iye akhoza kuima pamenepo mu mpumulo wangwiro pamene onse anali kumuimba mlandu Iye? (Mateyu 27:11-14.) Kodi zinatheka bwanji kuti Iye anali kuganiza za amayi Ake ndi Yohane, ngakhale pamene Iye anali atapachikidwa pa mtanda? (Yohane 19:25-27.) Kodi Anakwanitsa bwanji kuchita zimenezo?
Chinsinsi chinali chakuti Iye adalandira mtendere mwa kusiya chifuniro Chake - Zokonda Zake ndi zomwe sakonda. Kwa Yesu, chilungamo chinali kusiya chifuniro Chake cha kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu. (Ahebri 10:7.) Chilungamo chinali kukana kutenga ulemu uliwonse kwa Iyemwini, chifukwa ulemu wonse ndi wa Mulungu. Yesu anali munthu wolungama koposa amene anakhalako, ndipo Iye anavutika monga wolungama chifukwa cha kupanda chilungamo, kumene kuli ife, ndipo mwa kuchita zimenezo, Iye akanatifikitsa kwa Mulungu. (1 Petro 3:18.)
Monga ophunzira, tsopano tili ndi mwayi wopita njira yomweyo yomwe Yesu anapita, ndipo potsatira Iye, tikhoza kupeza chimwemwe ndi mtendere womwewo umene Yesu anali nawo - mtendere womwe kanatha kugwedezeka ndi chilichonse kapena aliyense mu mkhalidwe uliwonse! (Yohane 15:11.)
Mwina mungaganize kuti, "Ndine wolungama, chifukwa nkhani zanga zonse za ndalama zili bwino. Ndimalipira ngongole zanga zonse." Koma mwinamwake mudakali odzala ndi zofuna kapena ziyembekezo zakuti ena ayenera kuchita zimenezi kapena zimenezo. Mwina mwadzaza ndi zipolowe chifukwa cha zosalungama za anthu ena.
Koma chilungamo chimene Yesu anabwera nacho sichiri chilungamo chaumunthu. Zimapita patsogolo kwambiri kuposa chilungamo cha anthu. N'chifukwa chake mtendere ndi mpumulo umene umachokera ku "chilungamo chochokera kwa Mulungu mwa chikhulupiriro" (Afilipi 3:9) sizingafanane n'komwe ndi chimwemwe chochepa chimene chimabwera chifukwa chongochita zabwino mogwirizana ndi malamulo kapena makhalidwe a anthu.
Chilungamo cha Mulungu ndicho kuchita zabwino ndi zoyenera pamaso pa Mulungu, m'mbali zonse. Ndimapewa kupanikizika kwambiri mwanjira imeneyi, chifukwa ndiye kuti ndikukhala ndi moyo kuti ndimusangalatse ndipo sindikuyeneranso kulimbana ndi phindu langa. Sindifunikira kumenyera ulemu wanga, ndalama, kapena ngakhale malingaliro anga odzilungamitsa. Ndi mphotho yomasula chotani nanga! Ndipo kodi mphoto yanga yaitali idzakhala yotani? Mulungu adzatiuza kuti, "Wachita bwino, mtumiki wabwino ndi wokhulupirika," monga momwe zalembedwera pa Mateyu 25:23. Kumva zimenezo tsiku lina, kudzakhala kofunika kwambiri kuposa mphotho iliyonse ya padziko lapansi imene tingaganizire tsopano.
Chilungamo chimaswa chifuniro chathu chowononga
Chilungamo chimatanthauza kuti sitichita chifuniro chathu. Cholinga cha wophunzira ndicho kukhala ndi maganizo ofanana ndi amene Yesu anali nawo: "Taonani, ndabwera kudzachita chifuniro chanu, inu Mulungu—monga momwe zalembedwera za ine m'Malemba," ndipo, "Ndikufuna kuti chifuniro chanu chichitike, osati changa." Ahebri 10:7 ndi Luka 22:42. Timaona kuchokera pamenepa kuti kudzisankhira kwathu ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu zilibe chilichonse chofanana. Iwo samasakaniza kapena kuphatikiza konse. Chifuniro chathu chiyenera kukanidwa kuti chifuniro cha Mulungu chichitike. Chimenecho ndicho chilungamo pamaso pa Mulungu.
Kudzisankhira kwathu ndi chirichonse chomwe chimayika "Ine" patsogolo ndipo nthawi zambiri chimavulaza wina. Ndicho chifuniro chimene timabadwa nacho. Anthu ambiri samakula konse kuchokera pa sitejiyi. Kunja, amalola zinthu kuoneka bwino kuposa momwe zilili. Koma kodi nchifukwa ninji pali mkangano? Kodi nchifukwa ninji pali chipwirikiti? Kodi nchifukwa ninji pali nkhondo ndi zovuta ponse paŵiri m'nyumba ndi m'dziko lonse?
Chifuniro changa chiri chodzaza ndi chosalungama, mosasamala kanthu za mmene ndimayesera kuchibisa. Munthu winayo ali ndi chifuniro chake ndipo ine ndili ndi chifuniro changa, ndiyeno ndikuganiza kuti, "Ngati mukanangochita chifuniro changa, ndiye kuti tikhoza kukhala mabwenzi abwino." Koma lingaliro limenelo ndi bodza lalikulu. Kumeneko ndi komwe kumachokera mkangano. (Yakobo 4:1-2.) Kudzisankhira kwa munthu kumayambitsa mavuto ambiri padziko lapansi.
Ndikayamba kuona kuti kudzikonda kwanga kuli ndi vuto lalikulu bwanji, ndiye kuti kukana kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu kumakhala phindu lalikulu kwa ine ndekha komanso kwa anthu amene ndimakhala nawo.
Kodi muli ndi chisamaliro cha anthu? Kodi mukufuna kuti zinthu zikhale bwino m'nyumba mwanu, m'dera lanu, kapena m'chitaganya chimene mumakhala? Ngati ndi choncho, ndiye kukula mu chilungamo ichi - popereka chifuniro chanu ndikuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu m'malo mwake - kudzakhala phindu lalikulu kwa banja lanu, anansi anu, anzanu, anzanu, umunthu mwachisawawa, ndi tsogolo lanu, m'dzikoli komanso kosatha!
Umodzi wangwiro ndi mtendere ndi munthu aliyense
Poyamba tinawona kuti wosewera mpira anali ndi cholinga, masomphenya, ndipo chimenecho chinali kukhala katswiri wosewera mpira. Kwa ife, masomphenyawa ndikuti kuchokera kumbali yanga - m'moyo wanga - mkangano ndi zovuta pakati pa ine ndi anthu ena zikhoza kuthetsedwa kwathunthu kudzera m'chilungamo, chilungamo cha Mulungu.
Ndi njira yotani nanga ya moyo! N'zotheka mwangwiro kukhala nazo motere: "Kumbali yanga, aliyense akhoza kukhala ndendende mmene alili." Mukaganiza za masomphenya okhala munthu yemwe alibe mkangano ndi aliyense kapena chirichonse - palibe mkangano wamkati ndi kupanda chimwemwe - ndiye kuti masomphenyawo amatipatsa mphamvu zochita zomwe zili zofunikira lero, kunena kuti Ayi kwa ife eni ndikutsatira Yesu. (Luka 9:23.)
Limeneli ndi masomphenya omwewo amene Yesu anali nawo. Iye anali atayang'ana pansi padziko lapansi ndi kuona nkhondo yonse. Mkangano m'nyumba, ndi mkangano kwina kulikonse. Anthu, amene analengedwa kuti akhale ngati Mulungu Mwini, anali kuthamanga mozungulira kuphana, kukhumudwitsana ndi kukhala onyansa kwa wina ndi mnzake. N'chifukwa chake Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi n'kusonyeza mwa chitsanzo Chake kuti tikhoza kugwirira ntchito limodzi mwamtendere ndi mogwirizana ngati tisiya kufuna kwathu kwaumunthu kuti tichite chifuniro cha Mulungu. (Aefeso 4:1-6; Aefeso 4:11-16; Yohane 17:20-23; Aefeso 2:14-16; 1 Yohane 1:6-7.)
Chimwemwe chimene Yesu anali kuyembekezera chinali chakuti padzakhala abale ndi alongo okhala pamodzi mogwirizana mwangwiro. (Ahebri 12:2; Salmo 133.) Kwa anthu ambiri, kusiyana kumayambitsa mikangano. (Yakobo 3:16; Yakobo 4:1-2.) Koma mu ufumu wa Mulungu, kusiyana kumatsogolera ku mtendere umene sunamveke padziko lino lapansi.
Mphotho yaikulu kwambiri yosankha moyo wachilungamo ndi zomwe Yesu anapemphera pa Yohane 17:21-23 - kuti tikhale amodzi monga momwe Atate ndi Mwana alili amodzi. Talingalirani zimene zingachitidwe pamene pali umodzi wangwiro woterowo pakati pa anthu!
