M'dziko limene tikukhalamo ndi m'malo amene tikukula, anthu nthaŵi zonse amayesetsa kuti zinthu zina ziwoneke bwino m'maso mwathu, ndi zinthu zina zimene amayesa kupanga ngati kuti si kanthu! Koma Yesu anatiuza kuti chimene chiri chachikulu pamaso pa munthu, ndicho chonyansa pamaso pa Mulungu! Luk.16:15. Chonyansa ndi chinthu choipa kwambiri komanso chonyansa, moti chimapangitsa kuti mufune kusanza! Nzomvetsa chisoni kwambiri pamene tigwidwa, ndi kutanganidwa ndi zinthu zonyansa kwa Mulungu!
Anthu, mwachitsanzo, adzayang'ana munthu wophunzira bwino m'dzikoli - nthawi zambiri mosasamala kanthu za momwe amakhalira. Iye akhoza kukhala mu uchimo ndi kukhala wovuta ndi wopanda chikondi kwa ana ake ndi wosakhulupirika kwa mkazi wake etc., koma ngati ali ndi ntchito yabwino, yolipiridwa bwino, o! zimenezo ndi zazikulu kwambiri m'maso mwa ambiri! Ndipo kenako pali anthu omwe sali ophunzira kwambiri, mwina ali ndi ntchito yosavuta monga woperekera chakudya kapena woyeretsa, koma ali oona mtima komanso okhulupirika - koma chifukwa chakuti ali ndi ntchito "yotsika", ambiri amawayang'ana pansi ndikuwanyoza!
Monga Akristu, tili ndi chiitano chapamwamba kwambiri ndi chopatulika, ndipo chimenecho sichidalira konse pa maphunziro athu kapena chiyambi kapena fuko! Koma chifukwa chakuti zochepa kwambiri zimayankhulidwa za maitanidwe athu apamwamba, tikhoza kunyengedwa mosavuta ndi malingaliro (mzimu) wa dziko lino. Kodi munamvapo kuti muli ndi chiitano chapamwamba ndi chopatulika, chiitano cha kukhala ngati Yesu?
"Ndipo tikudziwa kuti Mulungu amachititsa kuti zonse zigwire ntchito limodzi kuti anthu amene amakonda Mulungu akhale abwino ndipo amaitanidwa mogwirizana ndi cholinga chake kwa iwo. Pakuti Mulungu ankadziwa anthu ake pasadakhale, ndipo anawasankha kuti akhale ngati Mwana wake, kuti Mwana wake akhale woyamba kubadwa pakati pa abale ndi alongo ambiri." (Aroma 8:28 - 29, NLT.)
Kuti tiwonetse momwe maitanidwe athu alili apamwamba, tiyeni tigwiritse ntchito chitsanzo cha munthu yemwe amaphunzitsidwa monga dokotala wa zamankhwala. Iye si dokotala wamba chabe, koma katswiri wa kafukufuku wa khansa. Amachita kafukufuku wambiri ndipo amapeza mankhwala atsopano komanso njira yothandizira anthu omwe ali ndi khansa yoopsa. Ndipo ali ndi chipambano chachikulu! Choncho, magazini azachipatala amalemba za iye ndipo ali patsamba loyamba la manyuzipepala ndi magazini. Anthu amaganiza kuti ichi ndi chinthu chachikulu kwambiri, ndipo amachitiridwa mwaulemu kwambiri!
Tsopano, dokotala wapadera ameneyu amalandira wodwala. Ali ndi khansa yonse! Pamwamba pa zimenezo, wodwala ameneyu ndi munthu wodzikonda kwambiri, amangodziganizira yekha. Mkazi wake ndi ana ake amavutika kwambiri chifukwa cha dyera lake. Ndipo iye ali wowawa ndi mmene mchimwene wake anamuchitira zaka zapitazo; ndipo kuntchito amachita nsanje kwambiri chifukwa wina anakwezedwa, pomwe sanatero... Zinthu zonsezi zimamupangitsa kukhala wosasangalala kwambiri!
Dokotala wathu wapadera amachiza munthu wodwala komanso wosasangalala ameneyu ndipo amachira kwathunthu ndi khansa!! Khansa yake inali yoipa kwambiri, moti aliyense amalankhula za kuchiritsa kwake. Ndipo dokotala wathu wapadera amakhala wotchuka kwambiri!
Ndithudi wodwalayo akusangalala kwambiri ndipo akuchoka m'chipatala akumwetulira kwambiri. Koma kubwera kunyumba, chikhalidwe chake chaumunthu chochimwa chimangotenganso, ndipo kuwawidwa mtima kwake, nsanje, dyera ndi kusasangalala kumatuluka kachiwiri (pakuti ndicho chikhalidwe chake). Ngakhale kuti thupi lake lachiritsidwa, moyo ndi womvetsa chisoni kwa iye ndi anthu amene ali nawo. Zoona, dokotala wathu wapadera akhoza kuchiritsa thupi lake, koma sanathe kumuchiritsa ku kuwawa kwake, nsanje, dyera, ndi zina zotero. Sanathe kumuchiritsa ku "matenda" oopsa kwambiri, omwe ndi tchimo, omwe amachititsa anthu "kudwala" mkati... Ndipo magazini azachipatala ndi manyuzipepala? Sadzalemba konse za "matenda" oopsa awa! Ndipo zachilendo zokwanira: ngakhale kuti anthu ambiri amavutika kwambiri ndi "matenda" oopsa awa, pafupifupi palibe amene amalankhula za izo!
Koma kodi mukuganiza kuti pali anthu padziko lapansi amene angakuthandizeni kuchira "matenda" oopsa amenewa? Kuchiritsidwa ku nsanje, kuwawa, dyera, ndi zina zotero? Inde, zikomo kwa Mulungu, pali!! Pali awo amene alandira chiitano chapamwamba ndi chopatulika chochokera kwa Yesu ndi kudzilola kuphunzitsidwa ndi Iye. Yesu anali woyamba amene anagonjetsa nsanje ndi kuwawa etc. Iye sanagonje konse ku machimo onsewa amene ali m'chikhalidwe cha munthu. (Ahebri 4:15.) Ndipo tsopano Iye ali wokhoza kutithandiza ndi kutipulumutsa ku machimo omwewa. (Ahebri 2:17, 18.) Ndipo Iye angatipulumutse kotheratu, kotero kuti sitimangidwanso ndi machimo ameneŵa! (Ahebri 7:25.) N'chifukwa chake Iye anati: "Chifukwa chake, mwana akakumasulani, mudzakhaladi mfulu." (Yohane 8:36, CEB.)
Ndipo kenaka chodabwitsa koposa: Pamene timasulidwa ku machimo ameneŵa, pamenepo tingathandize enanso kukhala omasuka ku machimo ameneŵa! Ichi ndi chimene chiitano chathu chapamwamba ndi chopatulika chiri! Ndi mawu amodzimodziwo amene Yesu analankhula kwa ife, ndi amene Iye anatimasula ku, mwachitsanzo, kuwawidwa mtima ndi nsanje, tingathandize ena kukhala omasuka! N'chifukwa chake kwalembedwa kuti: "Samalani nokha ndi chiphunzitso [Mawu a Mulungu]. Pitirizani mwa iwo, pakuti pochita zimenezi mudzadzipulumutsa nokha ndi iwo akumva inu!" (1 Timoteyo 4:16.)
Ndipo tsopano mungadzifunse kuti: Kodi chachikulu kwambiri n'chiyani? Kuchiritsa thupi la munthu wina (kunja), kapena kuchiritsa moyo wake (mkati)? Chomaliza ndi chiitano chachikulu kwambiri chomwe tingakhale nacho! Yesu akukuitanani ku icho, mosasamala kanthu za chiyambi chanu! Pitani!
