M’misewu mwaya mumbaoneka alendo azinji ochokera madera yakutali ninge Elamu, Mesopotamiya, Kapadokiya, Ponto, Iguputo na ku Roma. b Ko ni chani chomwe chingachitika? Kwenze chikondwerero cha Pentekosite chomwe chimbachemerewa ‘chikondwerero cha ntsiku ya vipaso voyambirira.’ (Num. 28:26) Chikondwerero mwechi chimbachitika gole iriyose ndipo chimbaonesa kumala kwa nthawe yokolola balere na kuyamba kwa nthawe yokolola tirigu. Pa ntsiku mweyi wanthu angakondwa maninge.

Patsogolo pake padachitika vodabwisa. “Patsogolo adawona malilimi yowoneka ninge moto ndipo yadagawanika nkukhala pa aliyese wa iwo ibodzi-ibodzi. c Ndipo wanthu wose mwawo adadzadziwa na mzimu uchena ndipo adayamba kuyankhula viyankhulo vosiyanasiyana!” Opfunzira mwawa padabula m’nyumba mumo, adagumana na alendo wale m’misewu ya ku Yerusalemu ndipo alendo mwawo adadabwa maninge ndawa yakuti opfunzira mwawa ambakwanisa kuyankhula nawo mu viyankhulo vawo! Shuwadi, “aliyese adawabva ankuyankhula mu chiseweredwe chake.”—Mac. 2:1-6.

 ³ Nkhani yochitisa chidwi mweyi inkufotokoza va chinthu chinango chofunika maninge cha kulewa va kupemphera chaiko chomwe chidachitika ntsiku mwaile. Chinthu chake ni kubadwa kwa mtundu wa Izirayeli wauzimu womwe ni mpingo wa Akhrisitu odzodzewa. (Agal. 6:16) Koma ndivolini vokha vomwe vidachitika. Pomwe Petulo adayankhula na gulu ya wanthu pa ntsiku mweyo, iye adaphatisa basa khiyi yoyamba pa “makhiyi [yatatu] ya Ufumu.” Khiyi iriyose mwa makhiyi mwaya yenze yakuti idzafungule mwayi woti wanthu wa mu gulu inango adzatambire madaliso yapadera. (Mat. 16:18, 19) Khiyi yoyamba mweyi idathandiza kuti Ayuda pabodzi na wanthu womwe adadzachinja nkukhala Ayuda atambire ntontholo wabwino nakuti adzodzewe na mzimu uchena wa Mulungu. d Ndipomwapa iwo adakhala mbali ya Izirayeli wauzimu ndipo vimwevi vidawathandiza kukhala na chidikhiro chodzatonga ninge mafumu na wantsembe mu Ufumu wa Mesiya. (Chiv. 5:9, 10) Patsogolo pake Asamariya pabodzi na wanthu wamakhaindi yanango adapasiwambo mwayi moyu. Ko Akhrisitu ntsiku zino angapfunzire chani pa vinthu vosayebweka vomwe vidachitika pa Pentekosite mu gole ya 33 EC?

4. Ko mpingo wachikhrisitu ntsiku zino unkulingana tani na mpingo womwe udayamba pa Pentekosite mu 33 EC?

(Mac. 2:1) Kudzafika maulo ntsiku ibodzibodzi mweyo chiwerengero cha  wanthu obatizika mu mpingo mumo chidaingizirika na mamidyau yanganani. Kumuku kwenze kuyamba chabe kukula kwa gulu yomwe inkupitiriza kukula mpakana manjeuno! Shuwadi, gulu ya amuna na akazi ogopa Mulungu panango kuti mpingo wachikhrisitu ntsiku zino, ndiwo unkulalikira ‘ntontholo wabwino moyu wa Ufumu pa dziko yose yapasi komwe kuli wanthu kuti ukhale umboni kwa wanthu wamakhaindi yose,’ patsogolo pake mapeto yadzafike.—Mat. 24:14.

5. Kuchokera nthawe ya atumi mpakana ntsiku zino, ko Akhrisitu achagumana madaliso yaponi akambasonkhana na mpingo wa Chikhrisitu?

Patsogolo pake vimwevi vidayamba kuchitikapomwe olo kwa Akhrisitu wa “nkhosa zinango.” (Yoh. 10:16) Pomwe Paulo adanembera Akhrisitu waku Roma, adawonesa kuti angatembenja maninge pa vomwe Akhrisitu angachita pothandizana. Iye adati: “Ninashungu yakukuonani kuti nikupaseni mphaso inango yomwe ni yauzimu kuti mukhale olimba panango kuti tidzalimbikisane mwachikhulupiriro chanu na changu.”—Aro. 1:11, 12.

Yesu adapasa opfunzira wake basa yokondwesa olo kuti iwo ambagumana na mabvuto yanango pakuphata basa mweyi. Iye adawauza kuti: “Mukapfunzise wanthu wamakhaindi yose kuti akhale opfunzira wangu mumbawabatize mudzina ya Ababa, ya Mwana na mzimu uchena, ndipo mumbawapfunzise kuti ambaphatise basa vinthu vose vomwe nidakulamulani.”—Mat. 28:19, 20.

⁷ Ntsiku zino, mpingo wa Chikhrisitu wa Mboni za Yahova ndiwo unkuphata basa mweyi. Shuwadi kuti nthawe zinango vikhala voshupa kulalikira wanthu wa viyankhulo vinango. Olo nteno, wa Mboni za  Yahova agawira mabukhu yolewa va nkhani ya Baibolo mu viyankhulo voposha 1000. Imwepo muchadekana kukhala okondwa peno mugumanika pa misonkhano yachikhrisitu nthawe zose, komasoti peno munkuphatambo basa yolalikira va Ufumu na kupfunzisa wanthu kuti akhale opfunzira wa Yesu.

⁸ Yahova Mulungu watipasa gulu ya abale pa dziko yose kuti tikwanise kupirira mokondwa pa nthawe yoshupa ino. Pakunembera Akhrisitu wa Chiheberi Paulo adati: “Naboni tiganizirane kuti tilimbikisane pa nkhani yowonesana chikondi komasoti kuchita vabwino, Osati tileke kusonkhana pabodzi, ninge momwe ankuchitira wanthu anango omwe adadjaira kulova kumisonkhano. Koma naboni timbalimbikisane maninge, makamaka manjeuno pomwe munkuwona kuti ntsiku mwiyo inkufendera.” (Aheb. 10:24, 25) Mpingo wa Chikhrisitu ni mphaso yochokera kwa Yahova yomwe itithandiza kuti timbalimbikisane. Ndipomwapa ayi kutalikirana na abale komasoti alongo wanu wauzimu. Ayi kuleka kuyenda kumisonkhano ya Chikhrisitu!

Ni shuwadi kuti Akhrisitu ntsiku zino alibe kupasiwa mphaso yoyankhula viyankhulo vachilendo modabwisa. Olo kuti azinji adzipereka kulalikira ntontholo wa Ufumu kwa wanthu wamakhaindi yose.
