Poyankha Yesu enena kuti: “Ŵanthu athanzi ofunalini dokota, koma olwala niye omufuna. Newo niliyewele kuzaita ŵanthu olungama, koma ochimwa kuti alape.”​—Lk. 5:29-32.

Enyozewa ndipo timuwona monga watyala-tyala.” (Yes. 53:3) Ulosi winena kuti Mesiya ‘ŵanthu azamupewe,’ tetyo Ayuda mu nthawe ya Yesu enzefunika kuyembekezela kuti Yesu azakaniwe.

5. Kansi ŵanthu anyinji masiku ŵano oŵawona tyani ophunzila a Yesu?

Ove olola kuti ŵanthu amene awo ankhale mu chipembezo chawo, olo kuti ŵanthu amene awo ochita vinthu vakuzonda Yehova Mulungu.

Vomekejani kuti Yehova okatishila tyala ntchito ŵanthu olichefya kuti achite chifunilo chake.

7. Ndaŵa yanji Yesu etomola Afarisi kuti onyenga, ndipo ove echita tyani?

⁷ Motang’a ntima, Yesu ezuzula asogoleli a vipembezo a m’nthawe yake chifukwa chakuti ove enzephunzisalini ŵanthu kulambila Yehova mu njila iweme. Mwachisanzo, yove ewonesha kuti Afarisi enze achinyengo chifukwa ove enzeikila ngako nzelu mwangasambile kumanja kusiyana na mwangasamalilile makolo ŵawo.

Ove ni asogoleli asalola. Tetyo, keno munthu asalola osogolela asalola muyake, onse aŵili oponela m’chisengu.” (Mt. 15:12-14) Olo kuti asogoleli a vipembezo ekalipa naye Yesu chifukwa cha vinthu vechinena yove, Yesu aliyeleke kulaŵila vinthu vachendi.

8. Kansi Yesu ewonesha tyani kuti ni vonselini vikhulupililo vachipembezo vamene ni vovomelejeka kwa Mulungu?

Yove echenjeja kuti: “Chenjelani na aneneli awenye amene owela kuli mwewo ovwala n’nga ni mbelele, koma nkati mwawo ali monga ni mphumphi zolusa. Mukaŵaziŵe na vitwazi vawo.”​—Mt. 7:15-20.

9. Kansi viphunziso viyakine vawenye vechiwulula Yesu ni votyani?

⁹ Kansi Malemba onena kuti tyani? Ulosi wa m’Baibolo winenelatu kuti Mesiya azalyewe chifukwa cholipeleka pa ng’anda ya Yehova. (Sal. 69:9; Yoh. 2:14-17) Khama yamene iyi ichitisha Yesu kuwulula viphunziso komasoti miyambo yawenye ya vipembezo. Mwachisanzo, Afarisi enzekhulupilila kuti mzimu ukufwalini; koma Yesu ephunzisa kuti akufwa aliyone. (Yoh. 11:11) Asaduki enzekhulupililalini kuti akufwa azaushiwe; koma Yesu eusha nshamwali wake Lazaro. (Yoh. 11:43, 44; Mac. 23:8) Afarisi enzephunzisa kuti mphamvu isawoneka kapena kuti Mulungu niye osankha vinthu vonse vikuti vizatichitikile olo vatikuti tichite; koma Yesu ephunzisa kuti ŵanthu angasankhe kutumikila Yehova olo yayi.​—Mt. 11:28.

 ¹¹ Kansi ni chinji chingatiyavye kuti osati titaye chikhulupililo chasu? Keno sewo tukonda choonadi, tufunika kukhulupilila komasoti kumvwila vakunena Mulungu. (Ŵelengani Yohane 8:45-47.) Mosiyana na Satana Mdyelekezi, sewo tikanelini choonadi olo patontho. Sewo tuchitalini chinthu chilichonse chamene chukatijanalini na vatukhulupilila. (Yoh. 8:44) Mulungu ofuna kuti ŵanthu ŵake ‘akonyansiwa na chiipa’ komasoti ‘akokatishisha chiweme,’ monga ni mwechichitila Yesu.​—Aro. 12:9; Ahe. 1:9.

12. Ndaŵa yanji Ayuda anyinji emukana Yesu chifukwa cha mwechipailiwa?

Kuli ove, imfwa ya Yesu pa chimuti chotamanilapo ichitisha kuti yove awoneke monga ni chigaŵenga komasoti wochimwa, niye chifukwa chake ove ekana kumukhulupilila​—kuti yove enze Mesiya.​—Deut. 21:22, 23.

(Lk. 22:54; Yoh. 18:24) Oweluza aliyechite chilungamo pechimvwa milandu komasoti maumboni otalijila wenye Yesu. Ndipo ove nawo eyeja-yeja kufwana “umboni wawenye woshushana na Yesu kuti amupaye.” Koma ove aliyekwanishe kuufwana, tetyo nkulu wa ansembe eyesa Yesu kuti alaŵile chinthu chiipa kuti ove amunene kuti ni wophoniya. Vamene ivi venze vosakatijana na malamulo ovomelejeka. (Mt. 26:59; Mk. 14:55-64) Ndipo Yesu pechiushiwa kwa akufwa, oweluza achinyengo elipila masodja Achiroma “ndalama zinyinji zasiliva” amene enzeteteza manda ŵake kuti afalise nkhani yawenye, nofotokoza chifukwa chake m’manda mwamene umo mwenzeve kanthu.​—Mt. 28:11-15.

Yove etakula chimo ya ŵanthu anyinji ndipo eloŵelelapo kuti ayavye ophoniya.” (Yes. 53:12) Niye chifukwa chake Yesu pechiimbiwa mulandu wochita chinthu chiipa ngako nopaiwa, chenzelini chifukwa chiweme chakuti Ayuda amukane.

15. Kansi ni milandu yotyani yawenye yakutalijiliwa a Mboni za Yehova yamene yachitisha ayakine kuŵakana?

Ku United States pakati pa vyaka vam’ma 1930 na 1950, kwitongewa milandu inyinji ku makhoti na cholinga chofuna kuteteza ufulu wasu wolambila Mulungu. Oweluza ayakine enze na malingalilo ophoniyeka ponena za sewo. Ku Quebec, chipembezo na Boma onse ekata ntchito pamozi kuti aleshe ntchito yasu. Ofalisa anyinji emangiwa chifukwa choujako tyala ayawo vokhuza Ufumu wa Mulungu. Ku Germany, boma ya Nazi, ipaya abale achilumbwana anyinji okhulupilika.

16. Monga ni mwayufotokozela lemba ya 1 Yohane 4:1, ndaŵa yanji tufunikalini kusemphewa na nkhani zawenye zokhuza ŵanthu a Yehova?

¹⁶ Kansi ni chinji chingatiyavye kuti osati titaye chikhulupililo chasu? Ziŵani nkhani yonse. Pa ulaliki wake wapalupili, Yesu echenjeja kuti ŵanthu ayakine ‘azatalijile wenye komasoti kunenela vinthu viipa’ ophunzila ŵake. (Mt. 5:11) Munecho wa wenye wamene uyu ni Satana. Yove olimbikisa ŵala oshusha kuti afalise vinthu viipa ponena za ŵala okonda choonadi. (Chiv. 12:9, 10) Sewo tufunika kuukana wenye unenewa na ŵala otishusha. Tufunikalini kulola olo patontho kuti wenye wamene uyu utichitishe wowa wotumikila Mulungu olo kufokesha chikhulupililo chasu.​—Ŵelengani 1 Yohane 4:1.

(Mt. 26:14-16, 47, 56, 75) Yesu aliyedabwe navo vamene ivi. Yove enze enenelatu kuti vamene ivi vizachitike. (Yoh. 6:64; 13:21, 26, 38; 16:32) Vinthu vamene ivi pevichitika, ayakine payakine esankha kusafuna kunkhala ophunzila ŵake. Payakine ove eganiza kuti: ‘Keno ophunzila a Yesu niye mwakuchitila teti, newo nufunalini kunkhala mmozi wa ove!’

18. Kansi ni maulosi otyani ekwanilishiwa na vinthu vichitika Yesu wasala patontho kufwa?

¹⁸ Kansi Malemba onena kuti tyani? Vyaka mahandiledi anyinji Yesu akaliyewela pano pachalo, Yehova ewulula m’Mawu ŵake kuti Mesiya azapelekewe na ndalama 30 za siliva. (Zek. 11:12, 13) Womupeleka azankhale mmozi mwa azishamwali apantima a Yesu. (Sal. 41:9) Mneneli Zekariya nayesoti elemba kuti: “Paya nchiŵeta ndipo mbelele zake zimwajikane.” (Zek. 13:7) Ŵanthu a mitima iweme sembe aliyemukane Yesu chifukwa  cha vochitika vamene ivi. Chikhulupililo chawo sembe chitang’ishiwa pewikwanilishiwa ulosi wamene uyu pali Yesu.

19. Kansi ŵanthu okhulupilika oziŵa votyani?

Ove afalisa malipoti aipa, nkhani zawenye, wenye unena a Mboni za Yehova mu manyunzipepa, pa wailesi, pa TV komasoti pa intaneti. Koma ŵanthu okhulupilika osemphewalini. Mmalomwake, ove oziŵa kuti Baibolo inenelatu kuti vinthu voteti vizachitike.​—Mt. 24:24; 2 Pet. 2:18-22.

20. Kansi tingapewe tyani kusemphewa na ŵala amene asiya kutumikila Yehova? (2 Timoteyo 4:4, 5)

(Ŵelengani 2 Timoteyo 4:4, 5.) Keno tili na chikhulupililo chotang’a, tichitelini wowa tikamvwa malipoti aipa okhuza a Mboni za Yehova. (Yes. 28:16) Kukonda kwasu Yehova, Mawu ŵake komasoti abale ŵasu, kutiyavye kupewa kusemphewa na ŵala amene asiya choonadi.

21. Olo kuti ŵanthu anyinji masiku ŵano akane uthenga wasu, kansi tingankhale osimikijila za chinji?

²¹ Mu nthawe ya atumwi, anyinji ekhumundwa komasoti emukana Yesu. Koma olo n’tetyo, ayakine emuvomela. Ayakine mwa ŵanthu emuvomela enze mmozi wa m’Bungwe Ikulu ya Ayuda komasoti “ansembe anyinji.” (Mac. 6:7; Mt. 27:57-60; Mk. 15:43) Molingana na vamene ivi, ŵanthu mamiliyoni anyinji asankha kukonkheja Yesu. Ndaŵa yanji? Ndaŵa yakuti ove oziŵa choonadi cha m’Malemba komasoti kuchikonda. Mawu a Mulungu onena kuti: “Okonda chilamulo chanu ofwana ntendele unyinji; ndipo paliye chinthu chingaŵakhumudwise.”​—Sal. 119:165.
