Kenako tinadya chakudya chapamwamba kwambiri ndipo panali nyimbo zabwino kwambiri; zonse zinali zapamwamba kwambiri. Zimenezo n’zimene ndinkafuna, ndipo panalibenso munthu wondiposa.’

Ayi. M’malo mwake, pokonzekera ukwati wawo afunika kuganizira malangizo akuti “iye amene achita chifuniro cha Mulungu akhala ku nthawi zonse.”​—1 Yohane 2:16, 17.

Sayenera kukakamizika kuchita phwando lalikulu la ukwati. Akasankha kuchita phwando, ayenera kuganizira mtengo wake ndiponso mtundu wa phwandolo. (Luka 14:28) M’banja lawo lachikristu, mwamuna adzakhala mutu mogwirizana ndi Malemba. (1 Akorinto 11:3; Aefeso 5:22, 23) Motero, mkwati ndiye amene ali ndi udindo waukulu pa phwando la ukwati.

Paphwandolo panali “mkulu wa phwando,” amene mosakayikira ankalambirira limodzi mokhulupirika ndi eni ukwatiwo.

Ku ukwati wa ku Kana komwe Yesu anapita, kunali vinyo ndipo iye anapanga vinyo wina wabwino kwambiri.

(Luka 12:45, 46) Podabwa ndi vinyo wabwino uja, mkuluyo anasonyeza kuti anaonapo nthawi zina pamene anthu obwera ku ukwati analedzera. (Machitidwe 2:15; 1 Atesalonika 5:7) Motero, mkwati ndiponso Mkristu wodalirika amene wasankhidwa kukhala mkulu wa phwando, ayenera kuonetsetsa kuti onse ofika pa phwandolo akutsatira malangizo omveka bwino awa, akuti: “Musaledzere naye vinyo, mmene muli chitayiko.”​—Aefeso 5:18; Miyambo 20:1; Hoseya 4:11.

Nyimbo zimene poyamba zinali kumveka chapansipansi, zimatha kukhala zaphokoso, mpaka anthu osatha kumvana. Phwando la ukwati limapereka mpata wabwino kwambiri wocheza. Zingakhale zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri ngati nyimbo zingasokoneze mwayi umenewu!” Apanso, mkwati limodzi ndi mkulu wa phwando amafunika kuchita zinthu mwanzeru. Sayenera kusiyira abandi, kaya ndi olipidwa kapena ayi, kuti ndiwo asankhe mtundu wa nyimbo ndiponso voliyumu yake. Paulo analemba kuti: “Chilichonse mukachichita m’mawu kapena muntchito, chitani zonse m’dzina la Ambuye Yesu.” (Akolose 3:17) Anthu akabwerera kwawo pambuyo pa phwando (kapena madyerero) a ukwati ndi kukumbukira nyimbo za paphwandopo, kodi adzaona kuti mwamuna ndi mkaziyo achita chilichonse m’dzina la Yesu?

(1 Yohane 2:16, 17) Malinga ndi mfundo youziridwa yomwe Yohane anatchula, kodi anthu omwe angokwatirana kumene ayenera kulengeza mayina a anthu amene apereka mphatso ndiponso mphatso zawo? Akristu a ku Makedoniya ndi ku Akaya anapereka chithandizo kwa abale awo ku Yerusalemu, koma palibe pamene pamasonyeza kuti mayina awo analengezedwa. (Aroma 15:26) Akristu ambiri amene apereka mphatso pa ukwati angakonde kuti anthu asadziwe mayina awo, m’malo mofuna kudzionetsera. Pamfundoyi, onani uphungu wa Yesu womwe uli pa Mateyu 6:1-4.

Motero, Akristu anzeru omwe angokwatirana kumene salengeza mayina a anthu amene apereka mphatso. Kulengeza mayinawo kungachititse manyazi anthu ena amene mwina sanathe kupereka mphatso. (Agalatiya 5:26; 6:10) N’zoona kuti palibe cholakwika kuti mkwati ndi mkwatibwi adziwe amene wapereka mphatso inayake. Iwo angathe kudziwa zimenezo kudzera pa khadi labwino lomwe munthu waperekera limodzi ndi mphatsoyo, koma osati n’cholinga choti awerengere anthu ayi.

Tiyeni tonse tikhale ndi chikhulupiriro champhamvu chomwe chimakhudza zonse zimene timachita. Inde, tingasonyeze chikhulupiriro chathu, mwa ntchito ‘zochitidwa mokwanira,’ kuphatikizapo mbali zosiyanasiyana zokhudza moyo wathu zomwe takambirana m’nkhani ino.​—Chivumbulutso 3:2, NW.

18. Kodi mawu a pa Yohane 13:17 angagwire ntchito motani pankhani ya ukwati ndi phwando lachikristu?

¹⁸ Yesu atasonyeza ophunzira ake okhulupirika chitsanzo chabwino mwa kugwira ntchito yonyozeka yosambitsa mapazi awo, anati: “Ngati mudziwa izi, odala inu ngati muzichita.” (Yohane 13:4-17) Mwina kumadera omwe tikukhala masiku ano, kulibe mwambo wosambitsa mapazi a alendo panyumba pathu. Komabe monga momwe taonera m’nkhaniyi, nthawi zina timasonyeza chikhulupiriro chathu mwa kukhala achikondi, oganizira ena, kuphatikizapo pankhani zokhudza ukwati wachikristu kapena phwando lina lililonse. Tingachite zimenezi kaya tikukwatira, taitanidwa ku ukwati kapena phwando la ukwati wa Akristu omwe amasonyeza chikhulupiriro chawo mwa ntchito zawo.
