 Famba naMwari

3, 4. ‘Kufamba naMwari’ zvinorevei uye Bhaibheri rine mienzaniso ipi ingatibatsira kunzwisisa zvazvinoreva?

Makarekare, Inoki naNoa ‘vakafamba naMwari.’ (Gen. 5:24; 6:9) Mosesi “akaramba akasimba seaiona Uyo asingaoneki.” (VaH. 11:27) Mambo Dhavhidhi akafamba naBaba vake vokudenga achizvininipisa. Akati: “Nokuti [Jehovha] ari kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, handizozununguswi.”—Pis. 16:8.

⁴ Hazvireve hazvo kuti tinobva tabatana maoko chaizvo naJehovha tichifamba naye. Asi tinogona kudaro zvokufananidzira. Sei? Munyori wepisarema Asafi akati: “Ndinemi nguva dzose; makabata ruoko rwangu rworudyi.

5. Jehovha anogara sei ziso rake riri pavakavimbika vake sababa, uye isu tinofanira kunzwa sei nezvake?

⁵ Jehovha anogara ziso rake riri pavanhu vanofamba naye nokuti anovada sezvinoita baba vane hanya, vanodzivirira uye vanodzidzisa vana vavo. “Ndichaita kuti uve nenjere uye ndichakurayiridza nzira yaunofanira kufamba nayo,” anodaro Mwari. “Ndichakupa zano ziso rangu rakakutarira.” (Pis. 32:8) Zvibvunze kuti: ‘Ndiri kunzwa sendakabatwa ruoko naJehovha tichiita setiri kufamba tose here, ndichiteerera uchenjeri hwake uye ndichiziva kuti ziso rake rerudo riri pandiri? Mafungiro angu, mashoko angu uye zviito zvinoratidza kuti ndiri kuziva kuti ndinaye here? Uye kana ndikatadza, ndinoona Jehovha saBaba vane ngoni vanoda kubatsira vaya vanopfidza here kana kuti saMwari akaoma mwoyo asina basa neni?’—Pis. 51:17.

(Pis. 11:4; 139:4; Jer. 17:10) Chimbofunga zvakaitwa naMwari pakaitika zvimwe zvinhu muupenyu hwaBharuki, munyori uye shamwari yepedyo yomuprofita Jeremiya.

7, 8. (a) Bharuki aiva ani, uye zvishuwo zvipi zvisina kunaka zvaakatanga kuva nazvo mumwoyo make? (b) Jehovha akaratidza sei kuti aiva nehanya naBharuki sezvinoita baba?

⁷ Bharuki aiva munyori wemandorokwati akashanda naJeremiya nokutendeka vachiita basa rakazopedzisira raoma zvokuti, rokuzivisa mutongo waJehovha panyika yeJudha. (Jer. 1:18, 19) Pane imwe nguva Bharuki, uyo angava aibva kumbahuru, akatanga kuzvitsvakira “zvinhu zvikuru.” Zvichida akarega pfungwa yokuda kubudirira ichikura. Chero zvipi zvingava zvakaitika, Jehovha akaona kuti Bharuki akanga apindwa nepfungwa yakaipa. Achishandisa Jeremiya, Jehovha akabva agadzirisa nyaya yacho, achiti kuna Bharuki: “Iwe wakati: ‘Zvino ndava nenhamo, nokuti Jehovha awedzera shungu pakurwadziwa kwangu! Ndaneta nokugomera kwangu, uye handina kuwana nzvimbo yokuzororera.’” Mwari akazoti: “Unoramba uchizvitsvakira zvinhu zvikuru. Usaramba uchitsvaka.”—Jer. 45:1-5.

⁸ Kunyange zvazvo Jehovha asina kungorega Bharuki achiita zvaaida, haana kumugumbukira, asi akataura achiratidza kuva nehanya zvechokwadi sezvinoita baba. Zviri pachena kuti Mwari akaona kuti zvaidiwa nomurume uyu zvaisaratidza mwoyo uzere nouipi kana kuti unonyengera. Jehovha aizivawo kuti maguta eJerusarema neJudha akanga ava mumazuva awo okupedzisira, uye akanga asingadi kuti Bharuki avhiringidzike panguva yakaoma iyoyo. Naizvozvo, kuti aite kuti mushumiri wake afunge zvakanaka, Mwari akamuyeuchidza kuti akanga ari kuzo“unza dambudziko panyama  yose,” achiwedzera kuti kana Bharuki akaita nokuchenjera, aizopona. (Jer. 45:5) Zvaiita sokuti Mwari aiti: ‘Ona zvinhu sezvazviri Bharuki. Funga nezvezvinhu zvava kuda kuitika kumaguta eJudha neJerusarema anotadza. Ramba wakatendeka ugopona! Ini ndichakudzivirira.’ Zvakataurwa naJehovha zvinofanira kunge zvakabaya mwoyo waBharuki, nokuti akagadzirisa mafungiro ake uye akapukunyuka pakaparadzwa Jerusarema, pashure pemakore 17.

Vakuru vechiKristu vangatevedzera sei Jeremiya pakuratidza kuva nehanya kwaJehovha nevashumiri vake?—Verenga VaGaratiya 6:1.

Mazuva ano, rudo rwake runooneka muna Jesu Kristu, Musoro weungano yechiKristu. (VaEf. 1:22, 23) Ndokusaka mubhuku raZvakazarurwa Jesu achifananidzwa negwayana rine “maziso manomwe, maziso anomirira midzimu minomwe yaMwari yakatumirwa munyika yose.” (Zvak. 5:6) Jesu anonzwisisa zvakakwana nokuti anotungamirirwa nomudzimu waMwari. Naiyewo anoona zvatiri mumwoyo, uye anoziva zvose zviri kuitika.

11. Ibasa ripi rinoitwa naKristu, uye maonero aanotiita anoratidza sei maonerwo atinoitwa naBaba vake?

Rimwe remazita okuremekedza aJesu rokuti, “Baba Vasingagumi,” rinotiyeuchidza zvaachaita pakupa upenyu husingaperi kune vanhu vose vanotenda maari. (Isa. 9:6) Uyewo, sezvo ari iye Musoro weungano, Kristu anogona kushandisa vaKristu vane chido, vakasimba pakunamata, zvikurukuru vakuru, kuti vatipe nyaradzo uye zano ratinoda.—1 VaT. 5:14; 2 Tim. 4:1, 2.

12. (a) Tsamba nomwe dzakanyorerwa kuungano dzaiva kuAsia Minor dzinoratidzei nezvaJesu? (b) Vakuru vanoratidza sei maonero anoita Kristu makwai aMwari?

 ¹² Kuda kwakadzama kunoitwa naKristu makwai kunooneka mutsamba dzaakanyorera vakuru vomuungano nomwe dzaiva kuAsia Minor.

Ndizvo zvazviriwo mazuva ano sezvo zvakaratidzwa muna Zvakazarurwa zviri kuzadzika “muzuva raShe.” * (Zvak. 1:10) Rudo rwaKristu runonyatsooneka muvakuru, vanoshanda sevafudzi muungano. Anogona kuita kuti “zvipo zviri varume” izvi zvipe nyaradzo, kurudziro kana kuti zano pazvinenge zvichidiwa. (VaEf. 4:8; Mab. 20:28; verenga Isaya 32:1, 2.) Unoona zvavanoita sechiratidzo chokuti Kristu anokufarira iwe pachako here?

(Jak. 5:14-16) Kana kuti zvichida rubatsiro rwacho rwakauya pakapiwa hurukuro pamisangano yechiKristu kana kuti mune zvawakaverenga mumabhuku edu. Kakawanda ndiwo mapinduriro anoita Jehovha minyengetero.

Panzvimbo pokuti inyunyute nezvechinetso chayo, yakatenda nomwoyo wose pfungwa dzomumagwaro dzakataurwa muhurukuro yacho. Dzaishanda kwaari uye dzakamunyaradza zvikuru. Hakusi kufara kwaakaita kuti akanga apinda musangano uyu!

¹⁴ Panyaya yerubatsiro runouya kana wanyengetera, chimbofunga nezvevamwe vasungwa vatatu vakadzidza chokwadi cheBhaibheri vari mujeri, vakava vaparidzi vasina kubhabhatidzwa. Nemhaka yemhirizhonga yakanga yaitika mujeri racho, vasungwa vose vaivamo vakatanga kurambidzwa zvimwe zvinhu zvakawanda. Izvi zvakaita kuti vasungwa vacho vaite bongozozo.

Mangwanani aitevera, vakazoona kuti zvavakanga vasarudza kuita zvakanga zvakafanana, zvokuti vaizoramba zvokudya zvacho. Pakazouya varindi vejeri vachitora ndiro, varume vatatu ava vakanga vasina chokudzorera. Vakafara kuti “Munzwi womunyengetero” akava pedyo navo!—Pis. 65:2.

Mabasa angasava nyore kuwana, uye vashandi vangamanikidzwa kushanda kwemaawa akawanda. Chero zvingaitika, vose vanoisa zvokunamata panzvimbo yokutanga uye vanoramba vaine ‘ziso rakanaka’ havafaniri havo kunyanya kunetseka. Vanoziva kuti Mwari anovada uye kuti achavatarisira.

18. Jehovha akaratidza sei kuti aida Jeremiya panguva yokukombwa kweJerusarema?
