⁸ Ophunzira Baibulo anali akudziwa kale kuti mwambo wa Khirisimasi unachokera ku zikondwerero zachikunja komanso kuti Yesu sanabadwe pa December 25. Magazini ya Zion’s Watch Tower ya December 1881 inanena kuti: “Anthu ambiri amene anali achikunja analowa m’matchalitchi ndipo anangosintha dzina. Ansembe achikunja anayamba kudziwika kuti ansembe achikhristu ndipo miyambo yawo anaipatsa mayina achikhristu.

(Onani bokosi lakuti, “ Maholide ndi Zikondwerero Zachikunja.”)

¹⁰ Chaka chotsatira, Ophunzira Baibulo anaphunziranso mfundo zina zosonyeza kuti Khirisimasi ndi mwambo wachikunja. Pa December 12, 1928, M’bale Richard H. Barber yemwe ankatumikira kulikulu lathu anakamba nkhani yomwe inaulutsidwa pa wailesi ndipo anafotokoza miyambo yoipa yachikunja imene  inachititsa kuti pakhale mwambo wa Khirisimasi. Kodi anthu a Mulungu anatani atalandira malangizo omveka bwino amenewa ochokera kulikulu lawo? M’bale Charles Brandlein anafotokoza za nthawi imene iye ndi banja lake anasiya kukondwerera Khirisimasi. Iye anati: “Sizinativute kusiya miyambo yachikunja imeneyo. Zinangokhala ngati tavula zovala zakuda n’kuzitaya.” M’bale Henry A. Cantwell, yemwe nthawi ina anatumikirapo ngati woyang’anira woyendayenda, anafotokozanso mfundo yofanana ndi yomweyi. Iye anati: “Tinali osangalala kusiya zinthu zimenezi kuti tisonyeze kuti timakonda Yehova.” Otsatira a Khristu okhulupirika anali okonzeka kusintha chilichonse komanso kusiya kuchita nawo mwambo umene unachokera ku chipembedzo chonyenga. d​—Yoh. 15:19; 17:14.

11. Kodi tingasonyeze bwanji kuti tili kumbali ya Mfumu yomwenso ndi Mesiya?

¹¹ Zimene Ophunzira Baibulowa anachita ndi chitsanzo chabwino kwa ifenso masiku ano. Tikaganizira zimene anachitazo tingadzifunse kuti: ‘Kodi ndimatani tikalandira malangizo ochokera kulikulu lathu? Kodi ndimasangalala kutsatira malangizowo komanso kugwiritsa ntchito zimene ndaphunzira?’ Tikamafunitsitsa kutsatira malangizo amene timalandira, timasonyeza kuti ndife okonzeka kugwira ntchito yothandiza Mfumu yomwenso ndi Mesiya, amene akugwiritsa ntchito kapolo wokhulupirika popereka chakudya chauzimu.​—Mac. 16:4, 5.

¹² Kwa zaka zambiri, Ophunzira Baibulo ankaona kuti mtanda ndi chizindikiro chofunika cha Akhristu. Sikuti ankaulambira, chifukwa ankadziwa kuti kulambira mafano n’kulakwa.

Mwachitsanzo, pofuna kudzidziwikitsa kwa anthu, ankavala kabaji kokhala ndi chizindikiro cha mtanda ndi chisoti chachifumu. Kwa iwowo kabajika kankatanthauza kuti ngati atakhala okhulupirika mpaka imfa adzalandira mphoto ya moyo. Kuyambira m’chaka cha 1891, kabajika kankakhala pachikuto cha Nsanja ya Olonda.

13. Kodi otsatira a Khristu analandira malangizo otani pa nkhani yogwiritsa ntchito mtanda? (Onaninso bokosi lakuti, “ Anathandizidwa Pang’onopang’ono Kuti Asiye Kugwiritsa Ntchito Mtanda.”)

¹³ Ophunzira Baibulo ankakonda kwambiri kabaji kokhala ndi zizindikiro za mtanda ndi chisoti chachifumu. Koma kuyambira m’zaka za m’ma 1920, otsatira a Khristu anayamba kuthandizidwa pang’onopang’ono kudziwa kuti sayenera kugwiritsa ntchito mtanda. Ponena za msonkhano umene unachitika m’chaka cha 1928 ku Detroit, Michigan, m’dziko la America, M’bale Grant Suiter, yemwe patapita nthawi anatumikira m’Bungwe Lolamulira, ananena kuti: “Nkhani zomwe zinakambidwa pamsonkhanowu zinasonyeza kuti Akhristu sayenera kungopewa kuvala kabajika koma ayeneranso kupewa kukagwiritsa ntchito.” Patangodutsa zaka zochepa, analandiranso malangizo ena othandiza. Malangizowa anathandiza Akhristu kuzindikira kuti mtanda suyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito pa kulambira koyera.

14. Kodi anthu a Mulungu anatani atathandizidwa kudziwa zoona pa nkhani yogwiritsa ntchito mtanda?

¹⁴ Kodi anthu a Mulungu anatani atathandizidwa pang’onopang’ono kudziwa zoona pa nkhani yogwiritsa ntchito mtanda? Popeza ankakonda kwambiri kugwiritsa ntchito baji yokhala ndi chizindikiro cha mtanda ndi cha chisoti chachifumu, kodi anapitirizabe kugwiritsa ntchito bajiyi? Mlongo wina yemwe wakhala akutumikira Yehova kwa zaka zambiri, dzina lake Lela Roberts, anati: “Titangozindikira zimene zinthuzi zimaimira, sizinativute kusiya kuzigwiritsa ntchito.” Mlongo winanso wokhulupirika, dzina lake Ursula Serenco, anafotokoza maganizo amene anthu ambiri anali nawo. Iye anati: “Tinazindikira kuti chizindikiro chimene tinkachikonda kwambiri poganiza kuti chikuimira imfa ya Ambuye wathu ndiponso kuti ndife Akhristu odzipereka, chinali chizindikiro chachikunja. Malinga ndi zimene lemba la Miyambo 4:18 limanena, tinayamikira kwambiri kudziwa kuti kuwala kwa njira yathu kwawonjezereka.” Otsatira a Khristu okhulupirika sankafuna kuchita nawo miyambo ya chipembedzo chonyenga.

15, 16. Kodi tingasonyeze bwanji kuti tikufunitsitsa kusunga bwalo lapadziko lapansi la kachisi wauzimu wa Yehova kuti likhalebe loyera?

¹⁵ Ifenso masiku ano sitifuna kuchita nawo miyambo ya chipembedzo chonyenga. Timazindikira kuti Khristu wakhala akugwiritsa ntchito njira yooneka bwino pothandiza anthu ake kukhala oyera mwauzimu. Njira imeneyi ndi kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru. Choncho, akatipatsa malangizo otichenjeza kuti miyambo inayake kapena maphwando enaake ndi ogwirizana ndi chipembedzo chonyenga timamvera nthawi yomweyo. Mofanana ndi abale ndi alongo amenewa, tiyeni nafenso tiyesetse kuti bwalo lapadziko lapansi la kachisi wauzimu wa Yehova likhalebe loyera.

¹⁶ M’masiku otsiriza ano, Khristu wakhala akuchita zinthu zosiyanasiyana zosaonekera pofuna kuteteza mipingo ya anthu a  Yehova kuti anthu ena asaisokoneze mwauzimu. Kodi akuchita bwanji zimenezi? Tiyeni tione.

17, 18. M’fanizo la khoka, kodi zinthu zotsatirazi zikutanthauza chiyani (a) kuponya “khoka . . . m’nyanja,” (b) ‘kusonkhanitsa nsomba zamitundumitundu,’ (c) kusankha “zabwino ndi kuziika m’mitanga,” (d) kutaya “zosafunika”?

¹⁷ Nthawi zonse Yesu Khristu yemwe ndi Mfumu amayang’anira mipingo ya padziko lonse lapansi ya anthu a Mulungu. Khristu ndi angelo akhala akugwira ntchito yosiyanitsa anthu abwino ndi oipa ndipo akhala akuchita zimenezi m’njira yomwe ifeyo sitingathe kuimvetsa. Yesu anafotokoza za ntchito imeneyi mu fanizo lake la khoka. (Werengani Mateyu 13:47-50.) Kodi fanizo limeneli limatanthauza chiyani?

¹⁸ Kuponya “khoka . . . m’nyanja.” Khoka likuimira ntchito yolalikira za Ufumu imene ikuchitika padziko lonse lapansi. ‘Kusonkhanitsa nsomba zamitundumitundu.’ Uthenga wabwino umakopa anthu a mitundu yonse. Ena mwa anthu amenewa amadzakhala Akhristu oona pomwe ena amangokhala ndi chidwi chofuna kuphunzira zambiri koma samayamba kulambira koona. e Kusankha “zabwino ndi kuziika m’mitanga.” Anthu amene ali ndi mtima wofunadi kuphunzira choonadi amasonkhanitsidwa m’mipingo yomwe ili ngati mitanga n’cholinga choti azitha kulambira Yehova m’njira yoyenera. Kutaya “zosafunika.” M’masiku otsiriza ano, Khristu ndi angelo akhala akusiyanitsa anthu “oipa pakati pa olungama.” f Zimenezi zathandiza kuti anthu amene safuna kuphunzira choonadi, omwenso safuna kusiya miyambo kapena zikondwerero zogwirizana ndi chipembedzo chonyenga, asasokoneze mipingo yachikhristu. g

Ndi zolimbikitsanso kudziwa kuti akuyesetsa kuyeretsa komanso kuteteza kulambira koona ndiponso atumiki a Mulungu ngati mmene anachitira poyeretsa kachisi ali padziko lapansi. Timayamikira kwambiri kudziwa kuti Khristu wakhala akuchita zinthu zosiyanasiyana potetezera mwauzimu anthu a Mulungu ndiponso potetezera kuti kulambira koona kusadetsedwe. Choncho tiyenera kupewa kuchita zinthu zogwirizana ndi kulambira konyenga kuti tisonyeze zoti tili kumbali ya Mfumuyi limodzi ndi Ufumu wake.
