”lowani pa pachipata chopapatiza. Chipata chopita ku chiwonongeko n'chachikulu, ndipo njira yopita kumeneko ndi yosavuta kutsatira. Anthu ambiri amadutsa pachipata chimenecho. Koma chipata cha moyo n'chopapatiza kwambiri Njira yopitakumeneko ndi yovutakwambiri kutsatira moti ndi anthu ochepa okha amene amaipeza" Mateyu 7:13-14 (CEV).
Mavesi amenewa amanena momveka bwino kuti anthu ambiri saganiza bwino kuposa moyo umene akukhala panopa pano padziko lapansi. Mukuwonanso kuti pali zisankhoziwiri zomwe mungathe kupanga, ndipo zotsatira zake ndizosiyana kwathunthu - moyo kumbali imodzi ndi chiwonongeko kumbali inayo. Koma chifukwa chakuti imodzi mwa "njira”" imawoneka yosavuta kwambiri mukayamba kuiona, anthu ambiri amasankha yosavuta. Kuti mupange chisankho choyenera ndikofunikira kwambiri - Yesu akunena kuti zosankha zomwe mumapanga tsopano, sankhani momwe umuyaya wanu udzamulizire.
Pa Aroma 9:18 (NIV) mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti, "Chifukwa chake Mulungu ali ndi chifundo pa amene akufuna kuchitira chifundo, ndipo amaumitsa amene akufuna kumuumitsa." Ndi chifundo ndi ubwino wa Mulungu zimene zimalankhula kwa anthu ndi kuwachititsa kulapa. Zimenezi n'zotheka kokha chifukwa Yesu anafa pamtanda chifukwa cha wochimwa aliyense.
Mulungu anasonyeza izi pamene Yesu anapuma mpweya Wake womaliza – dzuwa linakhala mdima ndipo panali chivomezi choopsa.. Panthaŵi yeniyeni imeneyi, nsalu yotchinga m'kachisi mwadzidzidzi inang’ambikakuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi.
Tanthauzo lobisikala zimenezi linali lalikulu kwambiri. Tsopano anthu akanatha kukhala ndi mtendere ndi Mulungu kudzera mu imfa ya Yesu pamtanda, ndipo kung'amba kwa nsalu yotchinga kunasonyeza kuti "njira yatsopano ndi yamoyo" inatsegulidwa kuti anthu apulumutsidwe m'moyo wa Yesu! Mukhoza kuwerenga izi pa Aroma 5:10 ndi Ahebri 10:20. Imeneyi ndi "njira yovuta yopita ku moyo" imene Yesu ananena pa Mateyu 7. Iye anaitana ophunzira Ake kuti amutsatire panjira imeneyi, ndipo njira yokhayo yochitira zimenezo, ndiyo kulowa pachipata chopapatiza.
Kodi n'chiyani chimandiwonongera kulowa pachipata chopapatiza?
Kodi ndi mikhalidwe yotani yolowerapachipata chopapatiza? Yesu Mwini anafotokoza zomwe zimawononga kumutsatira Iye pamsewu wopapatiza:"Mofananamo, inu amene simusiya zonse zimene muli nazo simungathe kukhala ophunzira anga."—Luka 14:33 (NIV). Izi zikutanthauza kuti ndisiye zonse ndi kumutsatira iyeizondalama inu zonse Ndipo chofunika kwambiri pa izi ndi "chifuniro chathu", chomwe chiyenera kusiyidwa pachipata cha msewu wopapatizawu mpaka kalekale. Yesu akuitana izi kuti "kudana ndi moyo wanu". (—Luka 14:26.)
Kumvera mkhalidwe umenewu ndiko njira yokha yokhalira wophunzira ndi kusunga ubale umenewundi Yesu. Izi zikutanthauza kuti kumverera kulikonse kwa kuwawa - mosasamala kanthu kuti mukuganiza bwino bwanji - kuyenera kuperekedwa. Padziko lapansi zikhumbo, kapena ziyembekezo za "momwe moyo wanga uyenera kukhalira" zimafunikanso kuperekedwa. N'chimodzimodzinso ndi mmene mumaganizira kuti muyenera kuchitiridwa ndi ena. Chilichonse chomwe chimafunika kuti musungemtima woyerandi kusunga zimenezokuwotcha chikondi kwa Khristu– ngakhale zikutanthauza kuti abwenzi kapena banja sakumvetsa zimene mukuchita ndi kunena.
Apa ndi pamene msewu waukulu umayamba kuoneka ngati msewu wabwino kwambiri wopita poyerekeza ndi mikhalidwe yokhwima kwambiri yolowa pachipata chopapatiza. Koma chotulukapo cha kusankha njira yosavuta ndicho chiwonongeko ndi kutayikiridwa.
Kodi zotsatira zake ndi zotani ngati sindilowa pachipata chopapatiza?
Ngakhale mutalapa n'kuoneka ngati Mkhristu wabwino, mukhozabe kudutsa mosavuta pachipata chachikulu ngati simukuona kuti kungooneka ngati munthu wabwino sikungakuthandizeni kuthana ndi uchimo ndi zotsatira zoopsa za uchimo. Chifukwa? Chifukwa chakuti palibe kuchuluka kwa kudziletsa komwe kungasunge kudzikonda kwanu kwakale, komwe kukuipitsidwa ndi zilakolako zake zosocheretsa, kuti zisakule kwambiri pamene nthawi ikupita. (Aefeso 4:22; 1 Timoteyo 6:10; Aroma 6:19.)
Kupita pamsewu waukulu kungangotha chiwonongeko - koma ngati mutasiya zonse ndikutsatira Yesu, mudzatha ndi moyo waulemerero, wosatha.
Kumasuka ku uchimo - kulowa pachipata chopapatiza
Ngati muli ndi njala yeniyeni ndi ludzu la chilungamo (Mateyu 5:6), ngati mukudwala ndi kutopa nthawi zonse kulephera, kuitana kulowa pachipata chopapatiza ndi mwayi wa moyo wonse - mwayi wotuluka ku uchimo ndi kupanda chimwemwe konse komwe kumapita nawo kamodzi kokha.
Ndithudi, izi zikutanthauza kuti simungathenso kugwira ngakhale pang'ono kuwawa. Kuvutika kwa mkati kumene mukukumana nako pamene mukuti Ayi ku mkwiyo ndi kuwawidwa mtima kumene mukuyesedwa sikudzatenga nthaŵi yaitali, koma zipatso za Mzimu zimene zidzatenga malo awo zidzakhala kosatha. Mulimonsemo, palibe amene anakhalapo wosangalala mwa kugwira mkwiyo ndi mkwiyo .
Moyo umenewu kumene nthawi zonse timati Ayi ku uchimo ndi chinthu chimene tiyenera kukhala otanganidwa otanganidwa nachonthawi zonse. Tsiku lililonse tiyenera kumenya nkhondo ya mkati, kukana mtundu uliwonse wa uchimo. Baibulo limati imeneyi ndi nkhondo yabwino ya chikhulupiriro. Ndi nkhondo yabwino, nkhondo yomwe imatsogolera ku moyo wachimwemwe, tsopano ndi umuyaya wonse.
Pali chinachake chosangalatsa kwambiri pa anthu amene ataya mtolo uliwonse pa Ambuye, amene akhala ankhondo olimba mtima kwa Mulungu polimbana ndi uchimo wawo. Iwo amakonda Yesu ndi mtima wawo wonse ndipo sikovuta kuona kuti msewu wopapatiza wawachititsa kukhala osangalala kwambiri.
Choncho bwanji osasiya zonse, kulowa pachipata chopapatiza ndikugwirizana nawo pamsewu wopita ku moyo?
