Pali zipembedzo zambiri zosiyanasiyana padziko lapansi. Kodi ndingadziwe bwanji kuti ndi iti yomwe ili "yoyenera"? Pano pali yankho limene ndapeza.
Ndinabadwira m'banja lachikristu, ndipo kwa nthaŵi yonse imene ndikukumbukira, ndinakhulupirira Yesu monga Mpulumutsi wanga.
Pamene ndinali kukula pang'ono, ndinadzifunsa kuti: "Pa zipembedzo zonse zambiri padziko lapansi, kodi ndikudziwa bwanji kuti ndili ndi chipembedzo 'choyenera'? Ndikadabadwira m'banja la chikhulupiriro chosiyana, kodi ndikadaganizabe kuti Chikhristu ndi chipembedzo 'choyenera'? Kodi ndikanatembenukira ku Chikristu? Choncho, kodi ndingatsimikizire bwanji za chikhulupiriro changa?"
Mu Ahebri 13:7 kwalembedwa, "...poona zotsatira za moyo wawo, chikhulupiriro chanu chizioneka ngati chawo." Zinaonekeratu kwa ine kuti zotsatira zake kapena zotsatira zake zidzasonyeza ngati zili zoona.
Ndinayamba kuganiza za anthu amene ndimawadziwa amene Chikristu chawo chakhala kuyenda kozindikira, kwaumwini m'moyo wawo. Ali ndi "mzimu umene umapereka moyo". (1 Akorinto 15:45.) Maso awo amasonyeza mtendere waukulu wa mumtima, ubwino, chidaliro, ndi chikondi. Zimandipangitsa kufuna kukhala nawo.
"Ndikufuna kukhala choncho!" Ndinaganiza. "Ndikufuna kukhala wodzala ndi kuyamikira ndi ubwino m'malo mokhala wowawa, wodandaula, ndi wokwiya. Ndikufuna kukhala ndi 'mzimu wopatsa moyo.'"
Limenelo linali yankho langa! Ndikanasankha njira yomwe ndikudziwa kuti idzanditsogolera ku zotsatira zimenezo.
Chikhulupiriro chosavuta chimenechi chinandinyamula kwa zaka zambiri, komabe ndinadziŵa kuti yankho lake linali lakuya kwambiri. Anthu a zipembedzo zambiri amabweranso pamlingo wa mtendere, umodzi, chimwemwe, ndi zina zotero. Ndinkafuna yankho la zimenezi. Wina anandiuza kuti "zipembedzo zonse ndi zofanana". Sindinagwirizane ndi zimenezo ndipo ndinayamba kuganiza za chimene chimapangitsa Chikhristu choona kukhala chosiyana ndi zipembedzo zina.
Kukhuta kwa chikondi ndi ubwino - kodi izi zingatheke?
Mu Mlaliki 3:11 kwalembedwa, "Iye wabzala umuyaya mumtima mwa munthu." Mulungu anatilenga ndi mtima wofuna kufunafuna choonadi ndi umuyaya. M'mibadwo yonseyo, anthu padziko lonse ayesa kufika pamenepo m'njira zosiyanasiyana. Chotero zipembedzo zambiri zimafunanso ubwino, mtendere, kukoma mtima, umodzi, chikondi, ndi zina zotero.
Amachita zimenezi mwa kutumikira ena mopanda dyera, kusinkhasinkha, kudzimana, ndi zinthu zina zambiri; ndipo n'zoonekeratu kuti anthu amene kwenikweni kufunafuna mtendere, chikondi etc, kuchita kufika pa mlingo. Koma ngakhale aneneri aakulu koposa ndi aphunzitsi auzimu sanathe kufika pa kukwanira kwa chikondi ndi ubwino, ndi umodzi wangwiro ndi Mulungu paokha.
Kenako ndinapeza yankho
Mulungu anayang'ana pa chilengedwe Chake ndipo anaona anthu akuvutika. Kudzera mwa Mose, Iye anapatsa anthu Ake malamulo Ake omwe anawathandiza kuletsa zoipa. Koma ngakhale zimenezo sizinathe kuthana ndi muzu wa vutolo — umene uli tchimo mkati pathu. (Aroma 8:3; Ahebri 7:19.) Choncho, anatumiza Mwana Wake, Yesu. Yesu anabwera monga munthu wokhala ndi chibadwa chofanana ndi chathu. (Aroma 8:3; 1 Timoteyo 3:16; Ahebri 2:14.) Analinso ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu woti amutsogolere ndi kumuthandiza. (Luka 3:22; Luka 4:1; —Luka 4:14,18 Ndi mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, Yesu anali munthu woyamba kugonjetsa kotheratu zoipa.
Ichi chinali chinthu chatsopano! Yesu anasonyeza ophunzira Ake njira yopita kwa Mulungu: "Onse ofuna kudza pambuyo panga ayenera kukana okha, kutenga mtanda wawo tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi kunditsatira." Luka 9:23 (CEB). Osati kungonena kuti Ayi kwa ine ndekha, ku chifuniro changa, komanso kutenga mtanda wanga. Mtanda wa tsiku ndi tsiku umenewu si imfa ya Yesu pamtanda pa Kalvari; ayi, ndikuyenera tsiku ndi tsiku kutenga mtanda wanga - kunena Ayi ndekha nthawi iliyonse yomwe ndikuyesedwa kuti ndichimwe, monga momwe Iye adachitira, ndipo ndisapereke mpaka tchimo ili ndi "lakufa".
Ophunzira a Yesu anaona kuti Iye anali ndi mayankho amene ankafuna, choncho anachita mantha pamene Iye anawauza kuti Iye adzawasiya. Iwo ankadziwa kuti sangachite zimenezi paokha. Koma Yesu anafotokoza kuti Iye anayenera kuchoka kuti Iye awatumize iwo "Mthandizi" — Mzimu Woyera. (Yohane 14:26; 15:26; 16:7; Machitidwe 1:8.) Ndipo pamene analandira Mzimu Woyera, analandira mphamvu pa uchimo. (Machitidwe 2. 2.)
Kotero ndizo! Umu ndi momwe Chikhristu chingathandizire kumene zipembedzo zina sizingatheke: Choyamba, Yesu anatisonyeza njira; pamenepo, Iye anatipatsa Mzimu Woyera mkati pathu kutipatsa mphamvu yogonjetsa uchimo - umene umatilekanitsa ndi Mulungu. M'malo moyesetsa koma kulephera kubwera ku umodzi ndi Mulungu amene ndinkafuna, Yesu wandisonyeza njira, ndipo anandipatsa Mthandizi, Mzimu Woyera, choncho sindiyenera kuchita ndekha.
Mwadzidzidzi ndinayamba kumvetsa Baibulo. Paulo analemba mu Akolose 1:26-28 , "... uthenga umenewu unasungidwa mwachinsinsi kwa aliyense, koma tsopano wafotokozedwa kwa anthu a Mulungu. Mulungu anachita zimenezi chifukwa ankafuna kuti inu Akunja mumvetse chinsinsi chake chodabwitsa komanso chaulemerero. Ndipo chinsinsi nchakuti Kristu amakhala mwa inu, ndipo iye ali chiyembekezo chanu cha kukhala ndi phande mu ulemerero wa Mulungu. Timalengeza uthenga wonena za Khristu, ndipo timagwiritsa ntchito nzeru zathu zonse kuchenjeza ndi kuphunzitsa aliyense, choncho otsatira onse a Khristu adzakula n'kukhala okhwima."
Sindiyenera kuyesa kufikira Mulungu ndekha; ayi, ndili ndi Khristu wokhala mwa ine! Kodi cholinga chake n'chiyani? Kugawana mu ulemerero Wake, kukhala wangwiro mwa Khristu Yesu, monga Iye ali wangwiro! (Mateyu 5:48.)
Kukumana ndekha kuti Ambuye ndi wabwino
Kunena kuti zipembedzo zonse n'zofanana kungakhale kofanana ndi kunena kuti Yesu sanafunikire kuvutika ndi kufa, kuti tikhoza kufikira Mulungu patokha ngati tingochita ntchito zabwino zokwanira, kutsatira malamulo oyenera, kusinkhasinkha mokwanira, kapena kupereka nsembe zokwanira. Zikatero Kristu akanafa pachabe! (Agalatiya 2:21; Ahebri 7:11,18-19)
Koma ngakhale kuti Kristu ndiye yankho limene dziko likufunikira, ngakhale Akristu ambiri samalimvetsetsa kwenikweni. Kwenikweni, Akristu ochepa kwambiri akukhaladi m'njira imeneyi ndi kugwiritsira ntchito mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera kukhala angwiro mwa Kristu Yesu, monga momwe Iye alili wangwiro!
Anthu ambiri amayang'ana Akristu amenewo, kugwedeza mitu yawo, ndi kusankha kuti chowonadi chiyenera kukhala kwina. Akristu ambiri ndi aumbombo, odzikonda, amakonda ndalama, amadzala ndi kusayamika, udani, ndi kukayikira koipa, ndi zina zotero. Ngakhale m'masiku a atumwi, anthu anayamba kuchoka pa zimene Yesu anaphunzitsa, kumangidwa ndi malamulo, ufulu wonyenga, ndi zina zambiri. Mu 2 Akorinto 11:3, Paulo anawachenjeza kuti asachotsedwe pa chikondi chawo chosavuta ndi choyera kwa Khristu.
Kutsatira Yesu n'kosavuta kwambiri, komanso n'kovuta kwambiri chifukwa tifunikira kugonja ndi kusiya kudzisankhira kwathu.
Paulo analemba kuti, "Chiphunzitso chokhudza mtanda ndi kupusa kwa iwo amene akutayika, koma kwa ife amene tikupulumutsidwa ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu. Ayuda amapempha zozizwitsa, ndipo Agiriki akufuna nzeru. Koma timalalikira Kristu wopachikidwa pamtanda. Ili ndi vuto lalikulu kwa Ayuda, ndipo ndi kupusa kwa iwo omwe sali Ayuda. Koma Khristu ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu ndi nzeru ya Mulungu kwa anthu amene Mulungu wawatcha - Ayuda ndi Agiriki." 1 Akorinto 1:18,22-24.
Ichi sichiri chiphunzitso chabe kapena chiphunzitso cha zaumulungu kwa ine. Umenewu ndi moyo. Ineyo pandekha ndakumana ndi Mzimu Woyera kundipatsa mphamvu kuti ndigonjetse uchimo wanga. Poyamba ndinalandira choonadi ichi chifukwa ndinawona zotsatira m'miyoyo ya anthu ena, koma tsopano, pamene ndikupitiriza kuchita zomwe Mzimu Woyera amandisonyeza, ine ndekha ndikuyamba "kulawa ndikuwona kuti Ambuye ndi wabwino". —Salimo 34:8.
Ndikukhulupirira ndi mtima wonse kuti ndapeza njira yotsogolera kwa Mulungu. Pamene ndikuyenda kwambiri panjira imeneyi, m'pamenenso ndimadziŵa bwino Mulungu, ndipo Iye amandisonyeza zambiri zimene ndiyenera kusiya kuti ndikhale ngati Kristu. Choncho mofanana ndi mtumwi Paulo, ndinganene molimba mtima kuti: "Sindikutanthauza kuti ndili kale monga mmene Mulungu akufunira kuti ndikhale. Sindinakwaniritsebe cholinga chimenecho, koma ndikupitirizabe kuyesa kuchikwaniritsa ndi kuchipanga kukhala changa. Khristu amafuna kuti ndichite zimenezo, n'chifukwa chake anandipanga kukhala wake." Afilipi 3:12.
