 TSIKU lina, anthu anali akuyendayenda m’misewu ya ku Yerusalemu, uku akusangalala. a Kukachisi kunkaoneka utsi wochokera paguwa lansembe ndipo Alevi ankaimba nyimbo zotamanda Mulungu.

M’misewu imeneyi munalinso alendo ambiri ochokera m’madera akutali monga ku Elamu, Mesopotamiya, Kapadokiya, Ponto, Iguputo komanso Roma. b Kodi kunkachitika chiyani? Kunali Chikondwerero cha Pentekosite, chimene chimatchedwanso kuti chikondwerero cha “tsiku la zipatso zoyamba kucha.” (Num. 28:26) Chikondwerero chimenechi chinkachitika chaka ndi chaka pa nthawi imene ankamaliza kukolola balere n’kuyamba kukolola tirigu. Pa tsikuli anthu ankasangalala kwambiri.

2. Kodi pa Pentekosite mu 33 C.E. panachitika zinthu zotani?

² Pa tsikuli kunja kunacha bwino ndipo cha m’ma 9 koloko m’mawa, kunachitika zinthu zimene zakhala zikudabwitsa anthu kwa zaka zambiri. Mwadzidzidzi, “kumwamba kunamveka mkokomo ngati wa mphepo yamphamvu.” (Mac. 2:2) Mkokomo wamphamvuwo unadzaza m’nyumba yonse imene ophunzira a Yesu pafupifupi 120 anasonkhanamo. Kenako panachitika zozizwitsa. Panaoneka malawi amoto ooneka ngati malilime ndipo malawiwo anakhala pa aliyense wa ophunzirawo. c Zitatero ophunzirawo “anadzazidwa ndi mzimu woyera” ndipo anayamba kulankhula zilankhulo zachilendo. Ophunzirawo atatuluka m’nyumbamo, anakumana ndi alendo aja m’misewu ya mu Yerusalemu ndipo alendowo anadabwa kwambiri chifukwa chakuti ophunzirawo ankatha kulankhula nawo m’zilankhulo za kwawo. Ndithudi, aliyense wa iwo anawamva “akulankhula m’chilankhulo chake.”​—Mac. 2:1-6.

3. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani tinganene kuti pa Pentekosite mu 33 C.E., panachitika zinthu zosaiwalika mu mbiri ya kulambira koona? (b) Kodi mawu a Petulo akusonyeza bwanji kuti iye anagwiritsa ntchito “makiyi a Ufumu”?

³ Nkhani yochititsa chidwiyi ikufotokoza za chinthu chinachake chofunika  kwambiri chokhudza kulambira koona chimene chinachitika pa tsikuli. Chinthu chimenechi ndi kubadwa kwa mtundu wa Isiraeli wauzimu, womwe ndi mpingo wa Akhristu odzozedwa. (Agal. 6:16) Koma si zokhazi zimene zinachitika. Pamene Petulo analankhula ndi gulu la anthu pa tsikulo, iye anagwiritsa ntchito kiyi woyamba mwa “makiyi [atatu] a Ufumu.” Kiyi aliyense mwa makiyi amenewa anali woti adzatsegule mwayi woti anthu a gulu linalake adzalandire madalitso apadera. (Mat. 16:18, 19) Kiyi woyambayu anathandiza kuti Ayuda ndi anthu omwe analowa Chiyuda alandire uthenga wabwino komanso kuti adzozedwe ndi mzimu woyera wa Mulungu. d Choncho iwo anakhala mbali ya Isiraeli wauzimu ndipo zimenezi zinawathandiza kukhala ndi chiyembekezo chodzalamulira monga mafumu ndi ansembe mu Ufumu wa Mesiya. (Chiv. 5:9, 10) Patapita nthawi Asamariya kenako anthu a mitundu ina anapatsidwanso mwayi umenewu. Kodi Akhristu masiku ano angaphunzire chiyani pa zinthu zosaiwalika zimene zinachitika pa Pentekosite mu 33 C.E.?

4. Kodi mpingo wa Chikhristu masiku ano ukugwirizana bwanji ndi mpingo umene unayamba pa Pentekosite mu 33 C.E.?

⁴ Mpingo wa Chikhristu unayamba ndi ophunzira pafupifupi 120 amene “anali atasonkhana pamodzi” m’chipinda cham’mwamba ndipo anadzozedwa ndi mzimu woyera. (Mac. 2:1) Pofika madzulo tsiku limenelo, anthu masauzande anabatizidwa. Uku kunali kuyamba chabe kwa kukula kwa gulu limene likupitirizabe kukula mpaka pano. Gulu la amuna ndi akazi oopa Mulungu, amene ndi mpingo wa Chikhristu masiku ano, ndi limene likulalikira ‘uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu padziko lonse lapansi kumene kuli anthu, kuti ukhale umboni ku mitundu yonse,’ mapeto a dzikoli asanafike.​—Mat. 24:14.

5. Kuyambira m’nthawi ya atumwi mpaka masiku ano, kodi Akhristu amapeza madalitso otani akamasonkhana ndi mpingo wa Chikhristu?

 ⁵ Mpingo wa Chikhristu unathandiza kuti anthu a mumpingowo, odzozedwa komanso pambuyo pake Akhristu a “nkhosa zina,” azilimbikitsana kwambiri mwauzimu. (Yoh. 10:16) Pamene Paulo analembera Akhristu a ku Roma, anasonyeza kuti ankayamikira kwambiri zimene Akhristu ankachita pothandizana. Iye anati: “Ndikulakalaka nditakuonani kuti ndikupatseni mphatso inayake yauzimu kuti mukhale olimba, kapena kuti ndidzalimbikitsidwe ndi chikhulupiriro chanu, nanunso mudzalimbikitsidwe ndi chikhulupiriro changa.”​—Aroma 1:11, 12.

6, 7. Kodi mpingo wa Chikhristu masiku ano ukuchita zotani pokwaniritsa ntchito imene Yesu anapereka yolalikira kwa anthu a mitundu yonse?

⁶ Masiku anonso, mpingo wa Chikhristu uli ndi cholinga chofanana ndi chimene unali nacho m’nthawi ya atumwi. Yesu anapatsa ophunzira ake ntchito yovuta koma yosangalatsa. Iye anawauza kuti: “Pitani mukaphunzitse anthu a mitundu yonse kuti akhale ophunzira anga. Muziwabatiza m’dzina la Atate, la Mwana ndi la mzimu woyera, ndipo muziwaphunzitsa kuti azisunga zinthu zonse zimene ndinakulamulani.”​—Mat. 28:19, 20.

⁷ Masiku ano, mpingo wa Chikhristu wa Mboni za Yehova ndi umene ukugwira ntchito imeneyi. N’zoona kuti nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kulalikira kwa anthu a zilankhulo zina. Komabe, a Mboni za Yehova akufalitsa mabuku ofotokoza nkhani za m’Baibulo m’zilankhulo zoposa 1,000. Ngati mumapezeka pamisonkhano ya Chikhristu nthawi zonse, ndiponso ngati mukugwira nawo ntchito yolalikira za Ufumu ndi kuphunzitsa anthu kuti akhale ophunzira a Yesu, ndiye kuti muli ndi chifukwa chokhalira osangalala. Muyenera kusangalala chifukwa muli m’gulu la anthu ochepa padziko lapansi amene ali ndi mwayi wochitira umboni mokwanira za dzina la Yehova.

8. Kodi mpingo wa Chikhristu umatithandiza bwanji?

⁸ Pofuna kutithandiza kupirira mosangalala pa nthawi yovuta ino, Yehova Mulungu watipatsa gulu la abale lapadziko lonse. Paulo analembera Akhristu a Chiheberi kuti: “Tiyeni tiganizirane kuti tilimbikitsane pa nkhani yosonyezana chikondi ndiponso kuchita zabwino. Tisaleke kusonkhana pamodzi, ngati mmene ena achizolowezi chosafika pamisonkhano  akuchitira. Koma tiyeni tilimbikitsane ndipo tizichita zimenezi kwambiri, makamaka panopa pamene mukuona kuti tsikulo likuyandikira.” (Aheb. 10:24, 25) Mpingo wa Chikhristu ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Yehova yotithandiza kuti tizilimbikitsana. Choncho musatalikirane ndi abale komanso alongo anu auzimu. Musasiye kupita kumisonkhano ya Chikhristu.

N’kutheka kuti ambiri mwa anthu amenewa ankadziwa chilankhulo chimodzi chofala, mwina Chigiriki kapena Chiheberi. Koma pa nthawiyi “aliyense anawamva [ophunzirawo] akulankhula m’chilankhulo chake.” (Mac. 2:6) N’zosakayikitsa kuti uthenga wabwino unawafika pamtima anthuwo chifukwa anaumva m’chilankhulo chawo. N’zoona kuti Akhristu masiku ano sanapatsidwe mphatso yolankhula zilankhulo zachilendo mozizwitsa. Komabe, ambiri adzipereka kufalitsa uthenga wa Ufumu kwa anthu a mitundu yonse.

Ngakhale zinali choncho, mtundu wonsewo unali ndi mlandu wopha Yesu. Koma mungaone kuti Petulo analankhula ndi Ayuda anzakewo mwaulemu ndipo anawafika  pamtima.
