Kristu Alatungulula Icilonganino Cakwe

“Moneni, ine nakulaba na imwe ukufika na pa kupwa kwa nshita.”—MATEO 28:20.

1, 2. (a) Ilyo Yesu uwabuushiwe alepeela ifunde lya kupanga abasambi, cinshi alaile abasambi bakwe? (b) Bushe Yesu atungulwile shani icilonganino ca Bena Kristu ba kubalilapo?

ILYO ashilaya ku muulu, Yesu Kristu, Intungulushi yesu iyabuushiwe, amoneke ku basambi bakwe no kutila: “Kuli ine kwapeelwa amaka yonse mu muulu na pano isonde; e ico kabiyeni, kalengeni aba nko shonse ukuba abasambi, mulebabatishisha mwi shina lya kwa Tata ne lya Mwana ne lya Mupashi wa mushilo: mulebasambilisha ukubaka fyonse ifyo namwebele. Kabili, moneni, ine nakulaba na imwe ukufika na pa kupwa kwa nshita.”—Mateo 23:10; 28:18-20.

² Yesu tapeele fye abasambi bakwe umulimo wa kupususha abantu uwa kulenga abasambi na bambi lelo abalaile no kuti ali no kuba na bo. Ilyashi lya kale ilya Bena Kristu ba kubalilapo, ilyalembwa mwi buuku lya mu Baibolo ilya Imilimo, lishinina ukuti Kristu abomfeshe amaka apeelwe ku kutungulula icilonganino icapangilwe lilya line fye. Atumine “ubukota” bwalaiwe, e kuti umupashi wa mushilo, ku kukosha abakonshi bakwe no kubatungulula ilyo balebomba. (Yohane 16:7; Imilimo 2:4, 33; 13:2-4; 16:6-10) Yesu uwabuushiwe abomfeshe bamalaika aletungulula ku kutungilila abasambi bakwe. (Imilimo 5:19; 8:26; 10:3-8, 22; 12:7-11; 27:23, 24; 1 Petro 3:22) Kabili, Intungulushi yesu yatungulwile icilonganino pa kuteyanya ukuti abaume bafikapo babe ibumba litungulula.—Imilimo 1:20, 24-26; 6:1-6; 8:5, 14-17.

3. Mepusho nshi twalalandapo muli cino cipande?

³ Lelo, ni shani pa nshita yesu, e kuti “ukupwa kwa nshita”? Bushe Yesu Kristu aletungulula shani icilonganino ca Bwina Kristu lelo? Kabili kuti twalanga shani ukuti tulapokelela ubutungulushi bwakwe?

Shikulu Alikwata Umusha wa Cishinka

4. (a) Ni bani bapanga ibumba lya “umusha wa cishinka kabili uwashilimuka”? (b) Mulimo nshi Shikulu apeela umusha ukutungulula?

⁴ Ilyo alesesema pa cishibilo ca kubapo kwakwe, Yesu atile: “Nga kanshi nani umusha wa  cishinka kabili uwashilimuka, uo shikulu wakwe alaashile pa ba mu ng’anda yakwe, ku kubapeela ifya kulya mu nshita iyene? Alishuka umusha ulya, uo shikulu wakwe pa kwisa akamusanga alecite fi! Ndemwebe cine cine, nati, akamulaasa pali fyonse ifyo akwata.” (Mateo 24:45-47) “Shikulu” ni Ntungulushi yesu, Yesu Kristu, kabili alilaasa “umusha wa cishinka kabili uwashilimuka,” e kuti ibumba lya Bena Kristu basubwa ababa pe sonde, ukutungulula imilimo yakwe yonse pe sonde.

5, 6. (a) Bushe “ifya kutekapo inyali cinelubali” ne “ntanda cinelubali” ifyo umutumwa Yohane amwene mu cimonwa fimininako cinshi? (b) Bushe “intanda cinelubali” ishaba mu lupi lwa ku kulyo ulwa kwa Yesu shilanga cinshi?

⁵ Ibuuku lya mu Baibolo ilya Ukusokolola lilanga ukuti umusha wa cishinka kabili uwashilimuka atungululwa na Yesu Kristu. Mu cimonwa umutumwa Yohane amwene ica “bushiku bwa kwa Shikulu,” amwene “ifya kutekapo inyali cinelubali ifya golde, na mu kati ka fya kutekapo inyali uupalene no mwana wa muntu” kabili “ali ne ntanda cinelubali mu lupi lwakwe lwa kulyo.” Ilyo Yesu alelondolwela Yohane ici cimonwa, atile: “Ne ca fya kutekapo inyali cinelubali ifya golde: Intanda ishi cinelubali ni bamalaika ba nkuta cinelubali, ne fya kutekapo inyali cinelubali ni nkuta cinelubali.”—Ukusokolola 1:1, 10-20.

⁶ “Ifya kutekapo inyali cinelubali ifya golde” fimininako ifilonganino fya Bena Kristu ba cine fyonse ifyabako mu “bushiku bwa kwa Shikulu,” ubwatendeke mu 1914. Ni shani pa lwa “ntanda cinelubali”? Pa kubala, shaleimininako bakangalila bonse abafyelwe ku mupashi kabili abasubilwe abalesakamana filonganino mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo. * Bakangalila bali mu lupi lwa ku kulyo ulwa kwa Yesu, e mu kuti baletungululwa na wene. Ca cine, Kristu Yesu aletungulula ibumba lya musha. Lelo, ino nshita kwaba fye bakangalila abasubwa abanono. Bushe Kristu atungulula shani ifilonganino ukucila 93,000 ifya Nte sha kwa Yehova mwi sonde lyonse?

7. (a) Bushe Yesu abomfya shani Ibumba Litungulula ku kutungulula ifilonganino mwi sonde lyonse? (b) Mulandu nshi twingasosela ukuti bakangalila ba Bwina Kristu basontwa no mupashi wa mushilo?

⁷ Nga filya cali mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo, ibumba linono ilya baume bafikapo pali bakangalila basubwa nomba libomba nge Bumba Litungulula, ukwimininako ibumba lyonse ilya musha wa cishinka kabili uwashilimuka. Intungulushi yesu ibomfya ili Ibumba Litungulula ku kusonta abaume bafikapo ukuba baeluda mu filonganino baba, nampo nga balisubwa nelyo tabasubwa. Ukukuma kuli ici, umupashi wa mushilo, uo Yehova apeela Yesu ukuti aleubomfya, ulabomba umulimo ukalamba. (Imilimo 2:32, 33) Intanshi, aba bakangalila bafwile ukufika pa fifwaikwa fyaba mu Cebo ca kwa Lesa, icapuutwamo no mupashi wa mushilo. (1 Timote 3:1-7; Tito 1:5-9; 2 Petro 1:20, 21) Ukutasha no kusonta kucitwa pa numa ya kupepa kabili pa kutungululwa no mupashi wa mushilo. Kabili, abantu abasontwa balalanga ukuti baba ne fisabo fya uyu mupashi. (Abena Galatia 5:22, 23) Kanshi ukufunda kwa kwa Paulo kulabomba kuli baeluda bonse, abasubwa na bashasubwa. Atile: “Muleyangwa mwe bene no mukuni onse uo Umupashi wa mushilo wamubikileko bucilolo.” (Imilimo 20:28) Aba baume basontwa batungululwa kwi Bumba Litungulula kabili balaitemenwa ukucema icilonganino. Muli iyi nshila, Kristu aba na ifwe nomba kabili aletungulula icilonganino cakwe.

8. Bushe Kristu abomfya shani bamalaika ku kutungulula abakonshi bakwe?

⁸ Yesu kabili abomfya bamalaika ku kutungulula abakonshi bakwe lelo. Ukulingana no mulumbe wa ngano na mankumba, inshita ya kuseepa yali no kwisa pa “mpela ya nshita.” Nani Shikuli ali no kubomfya ukuseepa? Kristu  atile “bakaseepa ni bamalaika.” Kabili atile: “Umwana wa muntu akatuma bamalaika bakwe, na bo bakalonganika ukubafumya mu bufumu bwakwe bonse ababe fya kupunwisha, na bacito bupulumushi.” (Mateo 13:37-41) Kabili, nga filya malaika atungulwile Filipi ukuti asange mutungwi umwina Etiopia, na lelo line kwaba ubushininkisho ubwingi ubulanga ukuti Kristu alabomfya bamalaika bakwe ku kutungulula umulimo wa Bena Kristu ba cine ukubaafwa ukusanga abantu abafumacumi.—Imilimo 8:26, 27; Ukusokolola 14:6.

9. (a) Kristu atungulula shani icilonganino ca Bwina Kristu lelo? (b) Cipusho nshi tufwile ukutontonkanyapo nga tulefwaya ukumwenamo mu butungulushi bwa kwa Kristu?

⁹ Tulakoseleshiwa ukwishiba ukuti Yesu Kristu alatungulula abasambi bakwe lelo ukubomfya Ibumba Litungulula, umupashi wa mushilo, na bamalaika! Nangu ca kuti bakapepa ba kwa Yehova bamo kuti bapaatulwa pa nshita inono kwi Bumba Litungulula pa mulandu wa kupakaswa nelyo imilandu imbi, Kristu kuti atwalilila ukubatungulula ukubomfya umupashi wa mushilo na bamalaika. Lelo, tunonkelamo fye mu butungulushi bwakwe ilyo twanakilako. Bushe kuti twalanga shani ukuti tulanakila ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu?

‘Beni aba Cumfwila no Kunakila’

10. Bushe kuti twacindika shani baeluda mu cilonganino?

¹⁰ Intungulushi yesu yalipeela ifilonganino “ifya bupe ku bantu”—bamo “ukuba ababile mbila nsuma, na bambi ukuba abacemi na bakasambilisha.” (Abena Efese 4:8, 11, 12) Imibele yesu ne fyo tucita kuli bene filanga bwino nga tulanakila ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu. Calilinga ukuti ‘tube abatootela’ pa baume bafikapo lwa ku mupashi abo Kristu atupeela. (Abena Kolose 3:15) Kabili tufwile ukubacindika. Umutumwa Paulo alembele ati: “Abakalamba abateka bwino bwino balingwe abawamino mucinshi ubili.” (1 Timote 5:17) Bushe kuti twatasha shani no kucindika abakalamba, e kuti baeluda, nelyo bakangalila, mu cilonganino? Paulo ayasuka ati: “Beni aba cumfwila ku balemutungulula, no kubanakila.” (AbaHebere 13:17) Ca cine, tufwile ukuba aba cumfwila kuli bene no kubanakila.

11. Mulandu nshi ukucindika ukutantika kwa kukwata baeluda kwabela kwikala umwabela ulubatisho lwesu?

¹¹ Intungulushi yesu yalipwililika. Abantu atupeela nge fya bupe tabapwililika. E ico inshita shimo balalufyanya. Lelo, calicindama ukuti twatwalilila aba cishinka ku kutantika kwa kwa Kristu. Na kuba, ukwikala umwabela ukuipeela kwesu no lubatisho kwalola mu kuti tufwile ukwiluka ukuti ubutungulushi bwa bantu basontwa no mupashi mu cilonganino bwa mwi funde no kuti tufwile ukunakilako mu kuitemenwa. Ukubatishiwa ‘mwi shina lya mupashi wa mushilo’ kuilanga pa cintubwingi ukuti twalishiba umupashi wa mushilo no kwishiba umulimo ubomba mu bufwayo bwa kwa Yehova. (Mateo 28:19) Ulubatisho lwa musango yo lwalola mu kuti tulebombela pamo no mupashi no kukanacita ifintu ifilenga waleka ukubomba pa bakonshi ba kwa Kristu. Apo umupashi wa mushilo ulabomba umulimo ukalamba mu kutasha no kusonta  baeluda, bushe cine cine kuti twaba aba cishinka ku kuipeela kwesu nga twafilwa ukubombela pamo no kutantika kwa kukwata baeluda mu cilonganino?

12. Fya kumwenako nshi ukukuma ku kukanacindika abaletungulula ifyo Yuda alanda, kabili cinshi fitusambilisha?

¹² Mu Malembo mwaba ifya kumwenako fitusambilisha ubucindami bwa kumfwila no kunakila. Ilyo umusambi Yuda alelanda pa balepontela abaume basontwa mu cilonganino, alandile pa fya kumwenako fitatu ifya kusoka, ati: “Kalanda kuli bene! pa kuti bendela mu nshila ya kwa Kaine, baipoosa na mu kuluba kwa kwa Balaamu, no kulobela mu fikansa fya kwa Kora.” (Yuda 11) Kaini asuulile ukufunda kusuma ukwa kwa Yehova kabili akonkelele inshila ya lupato lwabipisha. (Ukutendeka 4:4-8) Nangu Balaamu asokelwe libili libili kuli Lesa, aeseshe ukulapisha abantu ba kwa Lesa pa kuti amwenemo indalama. (Impendwa 22:5-28, 32-34; Amalango 23:5) Kora alikwete umulimo wacindama mu Israele, lelo taikushiwe. Acincishe abantu ukupondokela umubomfi wa kwa Lesa Mose, umuntu wafuukisha ukucilamo pe sonde. (Impendwa 12:3; 16:1-3, 32, 33) Akayofi kaishile Kaini, Balaamu, na Kora. Kwena ifi fya kumwenako filatusambilisha bwino ukukutika ku kufunda kwa bantu abo Yehova abomfya mu milimo ikalamba no kubacindika!

13. Mapaalo nshi kasesema Esaya asobele abo abanakila ku kutantika kwa kukwata baeluda?

¹³ Bushe nani uushingafwaya ukumwenamo mu kutantika kusuma ukwa butungulushi ubo Intungulushi yesu yacita mu cilonganino ca Bwina Kristu? Kasesema Esaya asobele amapaalo ya uku kutantika, ati: “Moneni, Imfumu ikabe mfumu ku bulungami, na bacilolo bakaba bacilolo ku bupingushi, umuntu no muntu akaba ngo mwa kufisama ku mwela, ngo mwa  kubelama ku kupongoloka kwa mfula, nge mimana ya menshi apaumisha, nge cintelelwe ca cilibwe cikalamba mu calo icatembuka.” (Esaya 32:1, 2) Eluda umo umo afwile ukuba ngo “mwa kufisama” kwa musango yo ku kucingililwa no kuba umutelelwe. Nangu ukunakila ku butungulushi kwalyafya kuli ifwe, shi natupepe no kuibilikilishako ukumfwila no kunakila intungulushi shasontwa na Lesa mu cilonganino.

Ifyo Baeluda Banakila ku Butungulushi bwa kwa Kristu

14, 15. Bushe abatungulula mu cilonganino balanga shani ukuti balanakila ku butungulushi bwa kwa Kristu?

¹⁴ Umwina Kristu onse, sana sana baeluda, afwile ukunakila ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu. Bakangalila, nelyo baeluda, balikwatako ubulashi mu cilonganino. Lelo tabafwaya ‘ukuba na bucibinda pa citetekelo ca basumina banabo’ pa kulatungulula imikalile yabo. (2 Abena Korinti 1:24) Baeluda balomfwila amashiwi ya kwa Yesu aya kuti: “Mwaishibo kuti bakateka ba Bena fyalo baumya bukateka pali bene, na bakalamba babo baumyo lupaka pali bene: te kuti cibe ifi muli imwe.” (Mateo 20:25-27) Ilyo baeluda balebomba imilimo yabo, balesha ukubombela bambi mu bufumacumi.

¹⁵ Abena Kristu bacincishiwa ati: “Ibukisheni intungulushi shenu, . . . tontonkanyeni umwaile imibele yabo, no kupashanye citetekelo cabo.” (AbaHebere 13:7) Tatucincishiwa ukubapashanya pa mulandu wa kuti baba intungulushi iyo. Yesu atile: “Intungulushi yenu imo, ni Kristu.” (Mateo 23:10) Icitetekelo ca baeluda e co tufwile ukupashanya pantu bapashanya Intungulushi yesu iya cine cine, Kristu. (1 Abena Korinti 11:1) Moneni inshila shimo baeluda beseshamo ukupashanya Kristu mu kwampana kwabo na bambi mu cilonganino.

16. Nangu Yesu akwete ubulashi bwacilapo, acitile shani na basambi bakwe?

¹⁶ Nangu Yesu alicilile abantunse bashapwililika mu musango onse kabili akwete ubulashi bwacilapo ukufuma kuli Wishi, ali uwafuuka mu fyo alecita na basambi bakwe. Talepapusha bakakutika bakwe pa kuilanga ukuti alishiba ifingi. Yesu alelangulukilako abasambi bakwe kabili ali uwa cikuku kuli bene, alebasakamana. (Mateo 15:32; 26:40, 41; Marko 6:31) Talefwaya ifyacila pa fyo abasambi balekumanisha, kabili tabalile afwaya bene ukucita ifyo bashingacita. (Yohane 16:12) Yesu ali “uwafuuka kabili uwapetama umutima.” Kanshi teti tupape ukuti abengi basangile ukutuusha ilyo bali na o.—Mateo 11:28-30.

17. Bushe baeluda bafwile ukulanga shani ukufuuka kwapala ukwa kwa Kristu mu kwampana kwabo na bambi mu cilonganino?

¹⁷ Nga Kristu Intungulushi ali uwafuuka, pali bufi balya abaletungulula mu cilonganino! Ca cine, balesha ukukanabomfya bubi bubi ubulashi bapeelwa. Kabili ‘tabesa no kupulamo kwa cebo,’ ukwesha ukutemuna bambi. (1 Abena Korinti 2:1, 2) Ukucila, balabombesha ukulanda ifyebo fya cine ca mu Malembo mu kwanguka no bufumacumi. Kabili, baeluda balatukuta ukuba aba mutembo mu fyo benekela bambi ukucita no kubalangulukila pa fyo bakabila. (Abena Filipi 4:5) Apo balishiba ukuti umuntu onse alipelebela, mu kutemwa balebukisha uku kupelebela mu fyo bacita kuli bamunyinabo. (1 Petro 4:8) Bushe baeluda abaicefya kabili abafuuka tabatulenga ukutuusha? Cine cine e fyo bacita.

18. Cinshi baeluda bengasambilila ku fyo Yesu asungile abana?

 ¹⁸ Yesu taletiinya ukulanda na o. Moneni ifyo acitile ilyo abasambi bakwe baleseshe abantu “abaletele kuli wene abaice.” Yesu atile: “Lekeni abaice bese kuli ine, mwibakaanya.” Lyene “pa kubafukatila, abikapo indupi shakwe, no kubapaala.” (Marko 10:13-16) Yesu ali uwa bucibusa kabili uwa cikuku, kabili abantu bambi balimutemenwe. Abantu tabaletiina Yesu. Nangu fye bana na bo baleumfwa bwino ukuba nankwe. Baeluda na bo baba bantu abo bambi bashingatiina ukuyako, kabili nga bali no kutemwa ne cikuuku, bambi—pamo fye na baice—balomfwa bwino ukuba na bo.

19. Bushe ukuba no “mutima wa kwa Kristu” e kuti shani, kabili cinshi cikabilwa pa kuukwata?

¹⁹ Pa kuti baeluda bapashanye sana Kristu Yesu, cishintilila pa fyo bamwishiba. Paulo aipwishe ati: “Nani uwaishibe fya mu mutima wa kwa Shikulu, ukuti asambilishe wene?” Lyene atile: “Lelo ifwe umutima wa kwa Kristu tuli na o.” (1 Abena Korinti 2:16) Ukuba no mutima wa kwa Kristu kwishiba ifyo aletontonkanya ne mbali shonse isha buntu bwakwe pa kuti twaishiba ifyo engacita nga kwacitika fimo. Tontonkanyeni ifyo cingawama ukwishiba bwino Intungulushi yesu nge fi! Kwena, pa kuti tucite fyo tufwile ukwangwa amalyashi yaba mu Malandwe no kusambilila lyonse pa mikalile ya kwa Yesu ne ca kumwenako cakwe. Nga baeluda baesha ukupashanya ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu muli uyu musango, ababa mu cilonganino kuti bapashanya sana icitetekelo cabo. Kabili baeluda balaba ne nsansa pa kumona bambi balekonka mu makasa ya Ntungulushi.

Twalilileni Ukunakila Ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu

20, 21. Ilyo tulelolela icalo cipya icalaiwa, cinshi tufwile ukupampaminapo?

²⁰ Calicindama ukuti bonse twatwalilila ukunakila ubutungulushi bwa kwa Kristu. Ilyo tulepalama ku mpela ya buno bwikashi, ifintu fili nga filya fyali ku bena Israele bali mu Mawanga ya Moabu mu 1473 B.C.E. Bali mupepi no kwingila mu Calo Calaiwe, kabili Lesa abilishe muli kasesema Mose ati: “Iwe [Yoshua] ukengisha aba bantu mu calo ico Yehova alapile kuli bashibo ukubapeela.” (Amalango 31:7, 8) Yoshua ali e ntungulushi yasontwa. Pa kwingila mu Calo Calaiwe, abena Israele bali no kunakila ku butungulushi bwa kwa Yoshua.

²¹ Baibolo itweba ati: “Intungulushi yenu imo, ni Kristu.” Ni Kristu epela e ukatutungulula ukwingila mu calo cipya icalaiwa umukekala ubulungami. (3 Petro 3:13) E ico shi natupampamine pa kunakila ku butungulushi bwakwe mu mikalile yesu yonse.
