(Bala. 19:13) Bino bantu ba Lesa bajingako kala bemwenejile bantangi babo ba kishinka byo bebatundaikanga kutemwa Lesa, kwikala na byubilo byazhila ne kwikala ba butooto.

Mosesa wabuujile bena Isalela amba: “Yehoba Lesa wenu ukemutongwela ngauzhi uji nobe amiwa kufuma mu balongo benu. Mwafwainwa kumumvwina.” (Mpitu. 18:15) Ngauzhi Isaya waambile’mba uno ukekala “ntangi” wa kwibatangijila. (Isa. 55:4) Kabiji mupashi wa Lesa watangijile Danyela kunemba’mba kukeya “Mesiasa Ntangi.” (Da. 9:25) Ne kine, Yesu Kilishitu wisolwele patoka amba ye “Ntangi” wa bantu ba Lesa.

(Byu. 10:38) Kunungapo, mupashi wazhila walengejile Yesu kwikala na bipangwa bya mupashi, nabiji butemwe, lusekelo, ne lwitabilo lwakosa bingi. (Yoa. 15:9; Hebe. 12:2) Kafwako ntangi mukwabo wakonsheshe kwikala bino ne. Yesu kine bamutongwele kwi Yehoba.

18, 19. Yesu walondelanga byepi Mambo a Lesa mu byo aubanga ne byo afunjishanga?

Onkao mambo, Yesu wavulukile byambo byaambile Yehoba kupichila mwi ngauzhi Isaya, ne kwamba pa bano bantangi amba: “Bano bantu bannemekatu na byatunwa byabo, pano bino, michima yabo iji kwalepa ne amiwa. Bampopwela kyatu, mambo bafunjisha mafunjisho a bantu.” (Mat. 15:7-9) Nanchi Yehoba wakonsheshe kusala bano bantangi ba bupopweshi kutangijila bantu banji nyi?
19 Yesu walondelanga Mambo a Lesa mu byo aubanga ne byo afunjishanga. Bantangi ba bupopweshi inge bamwipuzha mepuzho, kechi wakumbulanga na maana anji nangwa na bintu byo apichilemo mu bwikalo bwanji ne. Pakuba aye waingijishanga Binembelo pa kukumbula.

20. (a) Yesu watumbijikanga byepi Lesa? (b) Lupusano luji pe Yesu ne Heloda Agilipa Mutanshi lwitufunjishapo ka pa bantu Yehoba bo atongola kutangijila bantu banji?

(Luka 4:22) Kimye nonshi umo kyo atakaikile Yesu ne kumutela’mba “Mufunjishi Wawama,” Yesu wamukumbwile’mba: “Mambo ka o wantelela’mba wawama? Mambo kafwako muntu wawama ne, kanatu Lesa kwapwa.” (Mako 10:17, 18) Yesu wapusene bingi na Mfumu Heloda Agilipa Mutanshi, waikele mfumu wa Bayudea byo papichiletu myaka itanu na isatu kufuma pafwijile Yesu. Juba jimo pa kwisamba na bantu, Heloda wavwajile “bivwalo bya bufumu.” Kabiji bantu bakonkene na kumuteleka batendekele kubijika’mba: “Jino ke jiwi ja lesa, kechi ja muntu ne!” Heloda witumbijikile pa kumvwa byamutakaikilenga bantu. Ki ka kyamumwekejile? “Ponkapotu malaika wa Yehoba walengejile Heloda kukolwa, mambo kechi wapele Lesa lukumo ne; kabiji bamujile ku mapila ne kufwa wafwile.” (Byu. 12:21-23) Kyamwekeletu patoka’mba Yehoba kechi ye watongwele Heloda kwikala ntangi ne. Pakuba Yesu wamwesheshe patoka’mba bamutongwele kwi Lesa, mambo kimye kyonse watumbijikanga Yehoba amba ye Ntangi Mwine wa bantu banji.

Bañanyi Yehoba bo atongwele kuba’mba bakemenangako Yesu pano pa ntanda ne kutangijila bantu ba Lesa? Kabiji bena Kilishitu bakonsha kuyuka byepi bano bantu bo atongola kumwimenako? Ano mepuzho akakumbulwa mu mutwe walondelapo.
