"Koma yankho lake linali lakuti: "Chisomo changa ndicho chokha chimene mukufuna, pakuti mphamvu yanga ndi yaikulu pamene muli ofooka." 2 Akorinto 12:9 (GNT).
"Pakuti mkulu wa ansembe wathu amatha kumvetsa zofooka zathu. Iye anayesedwa m'njira iliyonse imene tili, koma Iye sanachimwe." Ahebri 4:15 (NCV).
"Mkulu wa ansembe aliyense amasankhidwa pakati pa anthu ena. Iye amapatsidwa ntchito yopita pamaso pa Mulungu kuti iwo apereke mphatso ndi nsembe za machimo. Popeza iye mwiniyo ndi wofooka, amatha kukhala wofatsa ndi anthu amene sakumvetsa komanso amene akuchita zinthu zolakwika." Ahebri 5:1-10 (NCV).
Yesu ndi Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu. Izi zikutanthauza kuti Iye anayenera kutengedwa pakati pa anthu. Choncho, Iye anayenera kukhala munthu ndi thupi ndi magazi ngati ife, komanso kukhala ndi chikhalidwe cha munthu monga chathu, monga momwe zalembedwera pa Ahebri 2:14. Pochita zimenezi, Iye anagawana zofooka zathu ndipo anayesedwa, kukhala Mkulu wa Ansembe amene amamvetsetsa zofooka zathu.
Mphamvu ya Mulungu ndi yamphamvu kwambiri tikafooka
Tingafunse kuti: Kodi Yesu anali wofooka motani? Iye anali wofooka kwambiri pamene Iye anali padziko lapansi moti Iye anapemphera ndi kuchonderera ndi kulira kwakukulu ndi misozi kwa Mulungu amene anatha kumupulumutsa ku imfa, ku imfa yauzimu. (Ahebri 5:7.) Kupemphera ndi kuchonderera ndi zizindikiro za kufooka. Zalembedwa m'vesi lomwelo limene Iye anamveka chifukwa cha mantha Ake aumulungu.
Inde, Iye anafunikira kufa mwakuthupi - chilungamo kwa ife amene ali osalungama; koma Iye sanafe imfa yauzimu imene inalembedwa pa Aroma 8:13 (NCV): "Ngati mugwiritsira ntchito miyoyo yanu kuchita zinthu zolakwika zimene ochimwa anu akufuna, mudzafa mwauzimu ..."
Iye ankadziwa mmene Iye anali wofooka ndipo motero Iye anapemphera ndi kuchonderera, ndi kulira kwakukulu ndi misozi. Koma chifukwa cha zimenezo Iye analinso wamphamvu kwambiri moti Iye sanachitepo machimo ali onse amene Iye anayesedwa. Mphamvu ya Mulungu inapangidwa kukhala yaikulu koposa m'kufooka Kwake.

Aliyense wobadwa ndi thupi ndi magazi ndi wofooka, koma si onse amene amadziwa kuti ndi ofooka bwanji, chifukwa si oopa Mulungu. Munthu wofooka ndipo amaona kuopsa kwa uchimo amathawa uchimo, koma munthu amene amaganiza kuti ndi wamphamvu samafuula kuti athandizidwe. Chinali mwa chisomo cha Mulungu kuti Yesu akhoza kugonjetsa ndi kukhala Mwanawankhosa wopanda banga amene angatifere tonsefe. (Ahebri 2:9-10.) Chinali chifukwa cha kufooka kwa Paulo kuti chisomo cha Mulungu chingakhale chokwanira ndipo akanatha kupeza mphamvu ya Mulungu. Paulo akuti, "Koma mwa chisomo cha Mulungu ndine chimene ine ndiri ..." 1 Akorinto 15:10.
Fuulani kwa Mulungu
Anthu ambiri amakhulupirira kuti amachimwa chifukwa chakuti ndi ofooka kwambiri. Koma si chifukwa chake. Chifukwa chake n'chakuti sakudziwa kuti ndi ofooka bwanji, ndipo saopa Mulungu mokwanira kuti afuule kwa Mulungu asanagwe . Iwo samafuna thandizo kwa Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu wamkulu, Iye amene amamvetsetsa kufooka kwawo ndipo motero angawapatse chisomo kuti apeze thandizo kuti asagwe. (Ahebri 2:17-18; Ahebri 4:16.)
Paulo akutiuza kuti tithawe kutali ndi chinyengo chomwe chilim'dziko chifukwa cha zilakolako zauchimo, kuthawa kutali ndi zilakolako zaunyamata zauchimo ndikuthamanga kutali ndi chikondi cha ndalama, ndi zina zotero. N'chifukwa chiyani anthu sathawa uchimo? Ndi chifukwa chakuti sakudziwa kuti ndi ofooka bwanji, komanso chifukwa chakuti saopa Mulungu mokwanira kuti aone kuti n'kofunika kwambiri kuti achoke kutali ndi zimenezi. Chifukwa chake, samapeza chisomo kuti akhale amphamvu kuti athe kugonjetsa.
Werenganinso:Kodi "kuthawa" n'kofunika bwanji?"
Ngati mukudziwa kuti ndinu ofooka bwanji, inunso ndinu wodzichepetsa kenako mumalandira chisomo. Pamenepo mumakhala olimba mwa Mulungu, pakuti mphamvu Yake ndi yaikulu pamene muli ofooka. Koma mudzathaŵanso zinthu zauchimo ndi mabwenzi amene amakukokerani m'dziko ndi zosangalatsa zake zauchimo. M'malo mwake mudzathamangira chilungamo, chikhulupiriro, chikondi, ndi mtendere ndi onse amene akupempha thandizo kwa Ambuye kuchokera mumtima woyera. (2 Timoteyo 2:22.)
Timoteyo, yemwe anali munthu wa Mulungu, sanaganize kuti anali wabwino kwambiri moti sakanatha kulandira malangizo amenewa kuchokera kwa Paulo. Iye anadziŵa mmene analili wofooka ndipo motero anapeza chisomo kukhala mtumiki wamkulu wa Ambuye.
