“IZVI ndizvo zvandakaberekerwa, uye ndizvo zvandakauyira munyika, kuti ndipupurire chokwadi.” (Johani 18:37) Jesu paakataura mashoko aya, aiva pamberi paPondiyo Pirato, Gavhuna wechiRoma weJudhiya.

Chokwadi, aiva “chapupu chakatendeka nechechokwadi (marʹtys).”—Zvakazarurwa 3:14.

Uye muchavengwa nevanhu vose nemhaka yezita rangu; asi iye anenge atsungirira kusvikira kumugumo ndiye achaponeswa.” (Mateu 10:17, 18, 21, 22) Nhoroondo yevaKristu vomuzana remakore rokutanga inopupurira kuti mashoko aya ndeechokwadi.

Zvisinei, pakupedzisira, vavengi vaStefani vakauraya chapupu chakanga chakatendeka ichi.—Mabasa 7:59, 60.

⁸ Zvichitevera kupondwa kwaStefani, “chitambudzo chikuru chakamuka paungano yakanga iri muJerusarema; vose kunze kwevaapostora vakapararira munzvimbo dzose dzeJudhiya neSamariya.” (Mabasa 8:1) Kutambudzwa kwakamisa kupupurira kwechiKristu here? Kusiyana neizvi, nhoroondo yacho inotiudza kuti “avo vakanga vapararira vakapfuura nomunyika iyoyo vachizivisa mashoko akanaka eshoko.” (Mabasa 8:4) Vanofanira kunge vakanzwa semanzwiro akaita muapostora Petro paakanga ataura kuti: “Tinofanira kuteerera Mwari somutongi panzvimbo pevanhu.” (Mabasa 5:29) Pasinei zvapo nokutambudzwa, vadzidzi ivavo vakanga vakatendeka uye vaiva noushingi vakaramba vachiita basa rokupupurira chokwadi, kunyange zvazvo vaiziva kuti izvi zvaizotungamirira kumamwe matambudziko.—Mabasa 11:19-21.

Akauraya Jakobho mukoma waJohani nebakatwa.”—Mabasa 12:1, 2.

10. Chinyorwai chokutambudzwa chatinowana muna Mabasa naZvakazarurwa?

¹⁰ Chikamu chasara chebhuku raMabasa chine chinyorwa chisingadzimiki chemiedzo, kuiswa mujeri, uye kutambudzwa kwakatsungirirwa nevakatendeka vakadai saPauro, uyo aimbova mutambudzi akazova muapostora, uyo zvichida akaurayirwa zvaaitenda naMambo wechiRoma Nero munenge muna 65 C.E.

¹² Kana mumwe akafunga kuti kutambudzwa kwoutsinye kwakadaro kwevateveri vaJesu kwakangoitika kare chete, anenge asina kururama zvachose. Pauro, uyo sezvataona akatsungirira nhamo dzakewo, akanyora kuti: “Vose vanoda kurarama nokuzvipira kuna Mwari muna Kristu Jesu vachatambudzwawo.” (2 Timoti 3:12) Nezvokutambudzwa, Petro akati: “Chaizvoizvo, makadanirwa izvozvi, nokuti kunyange Kristu akakutambudzikirai, achikusiyirai muenzaniso kuti munyatsotevera tsoka dzake.” (1 Petro 2:21) Kusvikira kuano “mazuva okupedzisira” enyika ino, vanhu vaJehovha vanoramba vachingovengwa nokuitirwa utsinye. (2 Timoti 3:1) Kumativi ose epasi, mukutonga kwehurumende dzoudzvinyiriri uye nyika dzine hurumende dzinosarudzwa nevanhu, Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvakatambudzwa panguva dzakasiyana-siyana, somunhu mumwe nomumwe uye zvakawanda.

Zvino, chii chatingaita kuti tizvidzivirire? Nzira yakasimba yokuzvidzivirira nayo ndeyokunyatsoziva kuti nei vaKristu vanoda rugare uye vanoteerera mutemo vachivengwa nokutambudzwa.

Akati: “Vanodiwa, musashamiswa nemoto uri kubvira pakati penyu, zviri kuitika kwamuri kuti muedzwe, sokunge kuti chinhu chitsva chiri kukuwirai.” Kuti atsanangure zvaakanga achifunga, Petro akaenderera mberi achiti: “Ngaparege kuva nomumwe wenyu anotambura nokuti imhondi kana mbavha kana muiti wezvakaipa kana nokuti anopindira munhau dzevamwe vanhu. Asi kana achitambura nokuti muKristu, ngaarege kunyara, asi ngaarambe achipa mbiri kuna Mwari muzita iri.” Petro akataura kuti vakanga vachitambura, kwete nokuti vaikanganisa, asi nokuda kwezvavaiva. Kudai vakanga vachifara mu“mumatope ezvakaipa” sezvaiita vanhu vakanga vakavapoteredza, vangadai vakagamuchirwa nokufarirwa navo. Sezvazvakanga zviri, vakatambura nokuti vaiedza kurarama maererano nebasa ravo sevateveri vaKristu. Ndiwo mamiriro akaita zvinhu kuvaKristu vechokwadi nhasi.—1 Petro 4:4, 12, 15, 16.

15. Musiyanoi unooneka mumabatirwo anoitwa Zvapupu zvaJehovha nhasi?

¹⁵ Mumativi akawanda epasi pano, Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvinorumbidzwa pachena nokuda kwokubatana nokushandira pamwe kwazvinoratidza pakokorodzano dzazvo nezvirongwa zvokuvaka, nokuda kwokutendeseka kwazvo nokubishaira, nokuda kwomuenzaniso wazvo wokuzvibata uye upenyu hwemhuri, uye kunyange nokuda kwechitarisiko chazvo chakanaka uye ruremekedzo. * Ukuwo, basa razvo riri kurambidzwa kana kuti harina kusununguka munyika dzinenge  28 panguva yokunyorwa kwenyaya ino, uye zvapupu zvakawanda zvinotambura nokubatwa zvisina kunaka uye kurasikirwa nezvinhu pamusana pokutenda kwazvo. Nei pane musiyano unooneka zvakadaro? Uye nei Mwari achiubvumira?

16. Ndechipi chiri chikonzero chikuru chokubvumira kwaMwari kuti vanhu vake vatambudzwe?

¹⁶ Chokutanga, tinofanira kugara tichiyeuka mashoko aZvirevo 27:11 anoti: “Mwanakomana wangu, iva wakachenjera, ufadze mwoyo wangu; kuti ndigone kupindura unondishora.” Chokwadi, imhaka yenyaya youchangamire pazvinhu zvose yava nemakore nemakore iripo. Pasinei nokuwanda kwouchapupu hwakapiwa nevose vakaratidza kuva vakatendeka kuna Jehovha mumazana emakore ose aya, Satani haana kurega kushora Jehovha sezvaakaita mumazuva omurume aiva akarurama Jobho.

Ivava vacharamba vakatendeka kuna Mwari pasinei nenhamo nokutambura kungauya pavari here? Uyu ndiwo mubvunzo uyo mushumiri mumwe nomumwe waJehovha anofanira kuzvipindurira.—Zvakazarurwa 12:12, 17.

17. Jesu airevei nemashoko okuti “zvichakuitai kuti mupupurire”?

¹⁷ Achiudza vadzidzi vake zviitiko zvaizotora nzvimbo mu“kuguma kwegadziriro yezvinhu,” Jesu akaratidza chimwe chikonzero nei Jehovha achibvumira kuti vashumiri vake vatambudzwe. Akavaudza kuti: Mucha“endeswa pamberi pemadzimambo nemagavhuna nokuda kwezita rangu. Zvichakuitai kuti mupupurire.” (Mateu 24:3, 9; Ruka 21:12, 13) Jesu pachake akapupurira pamberi paHerodhi naPondiyo Pirato. Muapostora Pauro zvakare aka“endeswa pamberi pemadzimambo nemagavhuna.” Arayirwa naIshe Jesu Kristu, Pauro akatsvaka kupa uchapupu kumutongi aiva nesimba zvikuru wezuva racho paakati: “Ndinokwirira kuna Kesari!” (Mabasa 23:11; 25:8-12) Saizvozvowo nhasi, mamiriro ezvinhu anoedza kakawanda akaguma nokupiwa kwouchapupu hwakanaka kwazvo kuvakuru vakuru uye ruzhinji rwevanhu. *
