Anali atagwira  ntchito usiku wonse koma osaphula kanthu. Komabe, Yesu anauza Petro kuti: “Kankhira kwa kuya, nimuponye makoka anu kukasodza.” Atachita zomwe Yesu ananena, “anazinga unyinji waukulu wa nsomba; ndipo makoka awo analinkung’ambika.” Ataona zodabwitsazi, Petro anadzazidwa ndi mantha, koma Yesu anamukhazika mtima pansi, n’kumuuza kuti: “Usaope, kuyambira tsopano udzakhala msodzi wa anthu.”​—Luka 5:4-10.

⁴ Nthawi yomweyo, Petro ndi Andreya, komanso Yakobo ndi Yohane, ana a Zebedayo, anasiya mabwato awo n’kutsatira Yesu. Kwa zaka pafupifupi zitatu, anapitira limodzi ndi Yesu ku maulendo ake okalalikira ndipo Yesu anawaphunzitsa kulalikira. (Mateyu 10:7; Marko 1:16, 18, 20, 38; Luka 4:43; 10:9) Kumapeto kwa nthawi imeneyo, pa Nisani 14 m’chaka cha 33 C.E., Yesu anawauza kuti: “Wokhulupirira Ine, ntchito zimene ndichita Ine adzazichitanso iyeyu; ndipo adzachita zoposa izi.” (Yohane 14:12) Yesu anati ophunzira ake a m’tsogolo adzachitira umboni mokwanira ngati mmene iye anachitira, koma kudera lalikulu kuposa limene Yesu analalikira. Monga momwe Yesu anawauzira pasanapite nthawi yaitali, iwo ndi ophunzira onse a m’tsogolo anayenera kudzachitira umboni ku “mitundu yonse” mpaka “chimaliziro cha nthawi ya pansi pano.”​—Mateyu 28:19, 20.

5. Kodi tingapindule bwanji ndi maphunziro amene Yesu anapatsa otsatira ake?

⁵ Ifeyo tikukhala mu “mathedwe a nthawi ya pansi pano.” (Mateyu 24:3) Mosiyana ndi ophunzira oyambirirawo, sitingapitire limodzi ndi Yesu n’kuona momwe akulalikira kwa anthu. Komabe, tingaphunzire kwa iye mwa kuwerenga m’Baibulo za mmene ankalalikira ndi malangizo amene anapereka kwa otsatira ake. (Luka 10:1-11) Kuwonjezera apo, nkhani ino ifotokoza chinthu china chofunika kwambiri chomwe Yesu anasonyeza ophunzira ake. Chinthu chimenecho ndicho mtima wofunika kukhala nawo pa ntchito yolalikira.

6, 7. Kodi ndi khalidwe liti la Yesu limene linachititsa kuti utumiki wake ukhale wogwira mtima, ndipo kodi tingamutsanzire bwanji pankhani imeneyi?

⁶ Kodi n’chifukwa chiyani umboni wa Yesu unali wogwira mtima kwambiri? Chifukwa chimodzi n’choti ankachita chidwi ndi anthu ndiponso ankawamvera chisoni. Wamasalmo ananeneratu kuti Yesu “adzachitira nsoni wosauka ndi waumphawi.” (Salmo 72:13) Iye anakwaniritsadi ulosi umenewo. Baibulo limati panthawi ina, Yesu “poona makamuwo, anagwidwa m’mtima ndi chisoni chifukwa cha iwo, popeza anali okambululudwa ndi omwazikana, akunga nkhosa zopanda mbusa.” (Mateyu 9:36) Ngakhale anthu ochimwa kwambiri anatha kuona kuti iye ankawamvera chisoni ndipo anafuna kupita kwa iye.​—Mateyu 9:9-13; Luka 7:36-38; 19:1-10.

⁷ Masiku ano, ifenso umboni wathu ungakhale wogwira mtima tikamamvera anthu chisoni mofanana ndi Yesu. Musanalowe mu utumiki, bwanji osayamba mwaima kaye n’kuganizira mmene anthu a m’dera lanu akufunikira kumva uthenga umene mukuwapititsirawo? Ganizirani mavuto amene ali nawo amene ndi Ufumu wokha womwe udzathetse. Khalani ndi maganizo oti aliyense akhoza kumvetsera, chifukwa simukudziwa amene angalabadire uthengawo.

⁸ Uthenga wabwino umene Yesu ankalalikira unali wonena za kukwaniritsidwa kwa chifuniro cha Yehova, kuyeretsedwa kwa dzina Lake, ndi kusonyeza kuti Iye ndiye woyenera kulamulira. Nkhani zimenezi ndiye nkhani zofunika kwambiri zimene zikukhudza anthu masiku ano. (Mateyu 6:9, 10) Chifukwa chokonda Atate wake, Yesu anakhalabe wokhulupirika mpaka mapeto kuti achitire umboni mokwanira za Ufumu, umene udzathetse nkhani zimenezo. (Yohane 14:31) Chifukwa choti anthu otsatira Yesu masiku ano nawonso amafuna zomwezo, amachita khama akamalalikira mu utumiki. Mtumwi Yohane anati: “Ichi ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, kuti tisunge malamulo  ake,” kuphatikizapo lamulo loti tilalikire uthenga wabwino ndi kupanga ophunzira.​—1 Yohane 5:3; Mateyu 28:19, 20.

9, 10. Kupatulapo kukonda Mulungu, kodi ndi chikondi china chiti chimene chimatilimbikitsa kuchitira umboni mokwanira?

⁹ Yesu anauza otsatira ake kuti: “Ngati mukonda Ine, sungani malamulo anga. Iye wakukhala nawo malamulo anga, ndi kuwasunga, iyeyu ndiye wondikonda Ine.” (Yohane 14:15, 21) Choncho chifukwa chokonda Yesu, tiyenera kuchitira umboni za choonadi ndi kumvera zinthu zina zomwe iye analamula. Panthawi ina pamene Yesu anaonekera kwa anthu ataukitsidwa, anauza Petro kuti: “Dyetsa ana a nkhosa anga. . . . Weta nkhosa zanga. . . . Dyetsa nkhosa zanga.” Kodi n’chiyani chinayenera kulimbikitsa Petro kuchita zimenezo? Yesu anasonyeza yankho lake pamene anafunsa Petro mobwerezabwereza kuti: “Kodi undikonda Ine? . . . Ukonda Ine kodi? . . . Kodi undikonda Ine?” Inde, chikondi chimene Petro anali nacho pa Yesu n’chimene chikanamulimbikitsa kuchitira umboni mokwanira, kupeza “ana a nkhosa” a Yesu, kenaka n’kukhala mbusa wawo wauzimu.​—Yohane 21:15-17.

¹⁰ Masiku ano, sitimuona Yesu pamaso m’pamaso, choncho sitimudziwa bwino monga momwe Petro ankamudziwira. Komabe, timamvetsa bwino tanthauzo la zimene Yesu anatichitira. Mitima yathu imakhudzidwa chifukwa cha chikondi chachikulu chimene chinamuchititsa kuti “alawe imfa m’malo mwa munthu aliyense.” (Ahebri 2:9; Yohane 15:13) Timamva ngati mmene Paulo anamvera pamene analemba kuti: “Chikondi cha Kristu chitikakamiza; . . . Adafera onse, kuti iwo akukhala ndi moyo asakhalenso ndi moyo kwa iwo okha, koma kwa Iye.” (2 Akorinto 5:14, 15) Timasonyeza kuti timayamikira kwambiri chikondi cha Yesu kwa ife ndi kuti ifenso timamukonda mwa kuyesetsa kumvera lamulo loti tichitire umboni mokwanira. (1 Yohane 2:3-5) Sitifuna kuiona mopepuka ntchito yolalikira, ngati kuti nsembe ya Yesu ndi nsembe wamba.​—Ahebri 10:29.

Zimenezo n’zimene Mulungu ankafuna kuti achite.

¹² Satana anamuyesa kwambiri Yesu pankhani imeneyi.

(Yohane 6:15) Anthu ena masiku ano angamaganize kuti mwina zikanakhala bwino Yesu akanalola kuchita zimenezo, ndipo angamaganize kuti ngati Yesu akanakhala mfumu padziko lapansi, akanathandiza kwambiri anthu. Koma Yesu anakana maganizo amenewo. Maganizo ake onse anali pa kuchitira umboni za choonadi.

(Yohane 19:23, 24) Kodi pachifukwa chimenechi tingati Yesu anali munthu wolephera? Kutalitali!

¹⁴ Yesu anachita zinthu zambiri kuposa zomwe  munthu wolemera kwambiri wofuna kuthandiza anthu osauka akanachita. Paulo anati: “Mudziwa chisomo cha Ambuye wathu Yesu Kristu, kuti, chifukwa cha inu anakhala wosauka, angakhale anali wolemera, kuti inu ndi kusauka kwake mukakhale olemera.” (2 Akorinto 8:9; Afilipi 2:5-8) Ngakhale kuti Yesu analibe chuma, zimene anachita zinathandiza anthu osauka kuti athe kukhala ndi moyo wosatha ndiponso wangwiro. Timamuyamikira kwambiri chifukwa chochita zimenezo! Ndipo ndife osangalala kwambiri ndi mphoto imene anapatsidwa chifukwa choika maganizo ake onse pa kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu.​—Salmo 40:8; Machitidwe 2:32, 33, 36.

15. Kodi n’chiyani chomwe chili chofunika kwambiri kuposa chuma?

¹⁵ Akristu amene amayesetsa kutsanzira Yesu masiku ano nawonso safuna kudodometsedwa ndi chuma.

Mkristu akafa, chuma chake chimakhala chopanda phindu kwa iye, monga momwe malaya a Yesu analili opanda phindu kwa iye atafa. (Mlaliki 2:10, 11, 17-19; 7:12) Mkristu akafa, chinthu chokhacho chaphindu chimene amakhala nacho ndicho ubwenzi wake ndi Yehova ndi Yesu Kristu.​—Mateyu 6:19-21; Luka 16:9.

Osafooka Chifukwa Chotsutsidwa

16. Kodi Yesu anatani pamene anali kutsutsidwa?

¹⁶ Pamene Yesu anali kutsutsidwa, sanaiwale ntchito yake yochitira umboni za choonadi. Ndipo ngakhale anadziwa kuti pamapeto pa utumiki wake wapadziko lapansi adzaphedwa monga nsembe, sanafooke. Ponena za Yesu, Paulo anati: “Chifukwa cha chimwemwe choikidwacho pamaso pake, anapirira mtanda, nanyoza manyazi, nakhala pa dzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.” (Ahebri 12:2) Taonani kuti Yesu ‘ananyoza manyazi.’ Iye sanavutike ndi zimene adani ake ankamuganizira. Maganizo ake onse anali pa kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu.

17. Kodi tingaphunzire chiyani pa kupirira kwa Yesu?

Zikhoza kukhala zotopetsa kupitirizabe kulimbana ndi zokopa za m’dzikoli, zimene mwina zingakhumudwitse achibale athu, amene amatilimbikitsa kuti “tichite zaphindu” ndi moyo wathu. Komabe, mofanana ndi Yesu, timayembekezera Yehova kuti atithandize pamene tikuyesetsa kuika Ufumu patsogolo m’moyo wathu.​—Mateyu 6:33; Aroma 15:13; 1 Akorinto 2:4.

18. Kodi tingatengepo phunziro labwino lotani pa mawu amene Yesu ananena kwa Petro?

¹⁸ Zoti Yesu anatsimikiza mtima kuti asadodometsedwe zinaoneka pamene anayamba kuuza ophunzira ake kuti imfa yake yayandikira. Petro analimbikitsa Yesu kuti ‘adzichitire chifundo’  ndipo anamutsimikizira kuti: “Sichidzatero kwa Inu ayi.” Yesu sanafune kumva zilizonse zimene zikanam’lepheretsa kuchita chifuniro cha Yehova. Iye anapotolokera Petro n’kumuuza kuti: “Pita kumbuyo kwanga, Satana iwe; ndiwe chondikhumudwitsa Ine; chifukwa sumasamalira za Mulungu, koma za anthu.” (Mateyu 16:21-23) Ifenso tizikhala otsimikiza chimodzimodzi kukana maganizo a anthu. M’malo mwake, tiyeni nthawi zonse tizitsatira maganizo a Mulungu.

Ufumu Ndiwo Udzabweretse Madalitso Enieni

20, 21. Kodi Akristu oona amatani posonyeza kuti amaiona moyenera ntchito yochitira ena zabwino?

²⁰ Masiku ano, anthu ena amayesera kutengera ntchito zabwino za Yesu pomanga zipatala kapena kuchita zinthu zina zothandiza anthu osauka. Nthawi zina amavutika kwambiri kuti achite zimenezi, ndipo timayamikira mtima wawo wabwino, koma thandizo lililonse lomwe angapereke limangothandiza anthu kwa nthawi yochepa basi.

(1 Timoteo 4:16) Ifenso timauona chimodzimodzi  utumiki wathu. Timafuna kuthandiza anzathu. Timafuna kusonyeza kuti timakonda Yehova. Timafunanso kusonyeza kuti timakonda Yesu ndiponso timayamikira chikondi chachikulu chimene anatisonyeza. Choncho timalalikira uthenga wabwino ndipo sitikhalanso “ndi moyo m’thupi kutsata zilakolako za anthu, koma chifuniro cha Mulungu.”​—1 Petro 4:1, 2.

23, 24. (a) Kodi tikutengapo phunziro lotani pa zodabwitsa zimene Yesu anachita zokhudza nsomba? (b) Kodi ndani amene akuchitira umboni mokwanira masiku ano?
