Zimene tamva, kuona, kuyang'ana ndi kukhudza ndi manja athu
Izi zinandikumbutsa momwe ndinkachitira pamene ndinali Mkhristu wachinyamata - wotembenuzidwa kumene komanso wofunitsitsa kwambiri kuuza anthu ndendende zomwe ndimakhulupirira komanso chifukwa chake ndinkakhulupirira. Ndinayamba ndi mchimwene wanga wamng'ono; Ndinaganiza zomufotokozera zimene Mkhristu anali. Nditamaliza kumuuza chifukwa chake Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi, ndinamuuza mmene ndinkaganizira kuti tsogolo lake lidzaoneka ngati sakukhulupirira zimene ndimakhulupirira.

Ndinali kumuuza zimene ndinkafuna kuti akhulupirire popanda kumuonetsa kuti moyo wachikristu unali wotani.
Kokha pamene ndinali kukula, ndinayamba kuona kusiyana pakati pa kusonyeza ndi kuuza. Monga anthu timasonkhezeredwa kuchita chinachake ndi zomwe tingathe "kuwona ndi kukhudza" tokha. Yohane akulankhula za izi mu 1 Yohane 1:1 (NCV). Iye akufotokoza chinachake "chimene tamva, tachiwona ndi maso athu, tayang'ana, ndipo takhudza ndi manja athu. Tikulemberani za Mawu amene amapereka moyo."
Mwina mungaganize kuti Yohane ankangowauza za Yesu, ndiponso kuti Yesu kulibe kwenikweni.
Ah, koma Iye anali kumeneko ....
Moyo wa Yesu mwa ife
Ndipo iyi ndi mfundo yonse. Tikayamba "kukhala ndi moyo" zomwe zalembedwa mu uthenga wabwino m'malo mongomvetsetsa, ndiye kuti "moyo wa Yesu" umayamba kukula mkati pathu ndipo izi ndi zomwe anthu angathe "kukhudza ndikuwona". Kukhala monga momwe kwalembedwera m'Baibulo kumatanthauza kuti timapereka chifuniro chathu, ndipo ichi ndi "imfa ya Yesu" yomwe Paulo akulankhula pa 2 Akorinto 4:10 (NCV): "Timanyamula imfa ya Yesu m'matupi athu kuti moyo wa Yesu uonekenso m'matupi athu."
Tingaganize kuti tiyenera kufotokoza zimene Baibulo limanena ponena za mmene ndi chifukwa chake Yesu anabwera padziko lapansi kudzatipulumutsa, koma ngati miyoyo yathu sikusonyeza zimene tikunena, ndiye kuti mawu athu samatanthauza kanthu.
Tikakhala achinyamata, sitingayembekezere kukhala odzala ndi nzeru za Mulungu. Koma ngakhale ndili wachinyamata, ndikanatha kudzichepetsa pang'ono. Ndikanatha kukhala mogwirizana ndi pang'ono zomwe ndinamvetsetsa panthawiyo, zomwe zinali zosavuta zokwanira. Kungokhala wokoma mtima kwa mchimwene wanga ndi kukhala wothandiza kunyumba kukanakhala malo abwino oyamba! Ngakhale zinthu zazing'ono ngati zimenezi zimafunika pamene tayamba kukhala ndi moyo umenewu. Mulungu sayembekezera kuti tikhale alaliki odziwa zambiri. Koma Iye amafuna kuti tikhale oona mtima ndi kuchita zimene timamvetsetsa. Osati "kuuza", koma "kuwonetsa".
Kusintha kumachitika
Ndikanatha kupambana mtima wa mchimwene wanga kwambiri ndikanakhala kuti ndinakhala naye nthawi m'malo mongomuuza momwe ayenera kusinthira kenako n'kuchoka, wotanganidwa kachiwiri ndi zinthu zanga. Ngati sitingasonyeze ena kuti tikukhala ndi moyo zimene timakhulupirira, ndiye kuti mawu athu samatanthauza kanthu. Chomwe banja langa linkatha kuona pa nthawiyo chinali munthu amene anali ndi chidwi kwambiri ndi chinthu chimene sichinasinthebe moyo wake kuchokera mkati. Chimene anaona chinali mtsikana, akungodziganizirabe, amene sanali wofunitsitsa kuthandiza m'nyumba mwake.
Pamene ndinali kukula, ndinasumika maganizo kwambiri pa kuchita zimene ndinamvetsetsa ndi kupempha thandizo kwa Mulungu pamene ndinalephera. Tikapitiriza kuchita zimenezi, ndiye kuti moyo wathu umayamba kusintha, ndipo pakapita nthawi kusintha kumeneku kudzawonedwa ndi omwe akutidziwa. Ndikanakhala kuti ndinaganiza choncho pamene ndinali nditatembenuzidwa kumene, ndiye kuti mwina mchimwene wanga akanatenthedwa ndi kuthandizidwa kwambiri ndi mlongo amene ankamusamalira.
Kuchokera kwa wachinyamata wodziwa zonse yemwe ankafuna kuuza anthu zomwe angakhulupirire, ndinakhala mayi ndi agogo omwe adadutsa mayesero, monga ena ambiri nawonso. Zimene ndakumana nazo pa moyo zandisonyeza kuti Mulungu amafuna kutipatsa Mzimu Wake kuti atitsogolere m'moyo. Iye amatisonyeza mmene chibadwa chathu chaumunthu chimafunira kulamulira zimene timanena ndi kuchita, koma Iye amatipatsanso mphamvu ya kuchita chifuniro Chake m'malo mwa chathu.
Kuti izi zichitike, tiyenera kukhulupiriradi kuti Mulungu amadziwa zomwe zili zabwino kwa ife (ngakhale kuti nthawi zonse sitikumvetsa) ndikudzipereka kwa Mulungu kuti tichite nafe zomwe Iye amaganiza kuti ndizabwino. Ndiyeno patapita nthawi tidzaona kuti tisintha. Mulungu akutisintha kuchokera mkati ndipo izi ndi zomwe anthu omwe timakhala nawo adzatha kuwona ndi "kukhudza". Ndipo ngakhale bwino, ndi zomwe zidzawakokera kuti afune moyo uno okha.
