Buku lenelili likulongora kuti Ŵakhristu aŵa ŵali mu visopa vyakujumpha 41,000, kweni cilicose cili na visambizgo kweniso malango ghake na ghake. Nchakupulikikwa nadi kuti ŵanji ŵakuyima mutu panji kukhuŵara na visopa vya “Cikhristu.” Nyengo zinyake ŵangajifumba kuti, ‘Kasi wose awo ŵakuti Mbakhristu, Mbakhristu nadi?’

Tiyeni tiwone nkhani iyi mu nthowa yinyake. Kanandi munthu uyo wali pa ulendo para wafika pa mphaka ya caru cawo ŵakwenera kulongora cikalata cakulongora caru ico wafuma. Wakweneraso kulongora pasipoti kuti wapeleke ukaboni wa ivyo wayowoya. Mkhristu waunenesko nayo wakwenera kucita vinandi padera pa kuyowoya waka kuti wakugomezga mwa Yesu. Wakwenera kupeleka ukaboni wakusazgikira. Kasi ukaboni uwu ni vici?

Zina lakuti “Mkhristu” likamba kugwiriskika nchito mu vilimika vya m’ma 44 C.E. Luka uyo wakamanyanga mdauko wakati: “Mukaŵa mu Antiyoke umo ŵasambiri mwakulongozgeka na Ciuta ŵakamba kucemeka Ŵakhristu.” (Milimo 11:26) Kumbukani kuti awo ŵakacemekanga Ŵakhristu ŵakaŵa ŵasambiri ŵa Khristu. Kasi nchivici cikukhumbikwa kuti munthu waŵe msambiri wa Yesu? Dikishonale linyake likuti: “Kuŵa msambiri wa Yesu kukung’anamura kujipeleka na mtima wose.” (The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology) Ntheura, Mkhristu waunenesko, ni uyo wakulondezga na mtima wose ulongozgi na visambizgo vya Yesu.
