Anatero kuti anthuwo afunefune Mulungu, ngati angam’papase ndi kum’pezadi, ngakhale kuti kwenikweni, iye sali kutali ndi aliyense wa ife.” (Mac. 17:22, 26, 27) Tonsefe tikhoza kufika pomudziwa bwino Mulungu ngati titam’funafuna.

Pa nthawi imeneyo sikuti ankangokhala ndi Atate wake osachita chilichonse. Yesu anali bwenzi lapamtima la Yehova, Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse, ankagwira ntchito limodzi mosangalala, ndipo ubwenzi wawo unali wolimba kuposa ubwenzi wina uliwonse. Yesu ankaona mmene Atate wake ankachitira zinthu. Ankadziwanso mmene ankamvera pa zochitika zosiyanasiyana.

Iye anati: “Aliyense woyang’anitsitsa mkazi mpaka kumulakalaka wachita naye kale chigololo mu mtima mwake.” (Eks. 20:14; Mat. 5:27, 28) Afarisi ankaphunzitsa zinthu zolakwika pofotokozera Chilamulo. Iwo ankaphunzitsa kuti, “uzikonda mnansi wako ndi kudana naye mdani wako.” Koma Yesu anafotokoza mmene Yehova amaonera nkhaniyi ponena kuti: “Pitirizani kukonda adani anu ndi kupempherera amene akukuzunzani.” (Mat. 5:43, 44; Eks. 23:4; Lev. 19:18) Kumvetsa bwino maganizo a Mulungu, mmene amamvera komanso zimene amafuna kuti tizichita, kungatithandize kumutsanzira bwino kwambiri.

Zozizwitsa zimene Khristu anachita zimatithandiza kudziwa mphamvu zosaneneka zimene iye anapatsidwa. Komabe sanagwiritsire ntchito mphamvuzo pochita zinthu zodzipindulitsa kapena zovulaza ena. (Luka 4:1-4) Ndipotu anasonyezeratu kuti amakonda kwambiri chilungamo pamene anathamangitsa m’kachisi amalonda amene ankadyera anthu masuku pamutu. (Maliko 11:15-17; Yoh. 2:13-16) Iye ankawafika anthu pamtima ndi zimene ankaphunzitsa komanso mawu ake okopa. Anasonyezeratu kuti pa nkhani ya nzeru anali “woposa Solomo.” (Mat. 12:42) Yesu anasonyeza chikondi chosaneneka popereka moyo wake kuti apulumutse ena, moti mpake kuti Baibulo limati “palibe amene ali ndi chikondi choposa ichi.”—Yoh. 15:13.
8 Mwana wa Mulungu anasonyeza bwino makhalidwe a Yehova mwa zolankhula zake komanso zochita zake moti ankanenadi zoona pamene anati: “Amene waona ine waonanso Atate.” (Werengani Yohane 14:9-11.) Motero munthu akamatsatira Khristu ndiye kuti akutsanzira Yehova.

Ndipo nthawi yomweyo Yehova ananena kuti Yesu ndi wodzozedwa wake. Iye anati: “Uyu ndiye Mwana wanga wokondedwa, amene ndimakondwera naye.” (Mat. 3:13-17) Chimenechitu ndi chifukwa chomveka chotsatirira Khristu.

Tikanena kuti “Khristu Yesu” ndiye kuti tayamba ndi udindo kenako dzina. Izi zimachititsa kuti anthu aganizire kwambiri za udindowo osati za munthuyo.
