Zvauchaitirwa neShoko raMwari (Chikamu 5)

Chiitiko chinofadza kufunga nokunyora zvose zvatinopiwa neShoko raMwari. Mumwe nomumwe wedu angabatanidza ndaza refu yebetsero dzomunhu oga dzakauya muupenyu hwedu kubva mupesvedzero yeBhaibheri patiri. Asi munhevedzano ino inoti, “Zvauchaitirwa neShoko raMwari,” tanga tichiongorora mativi makuru eizvo Shoko rinotiitira sezvatinorifunda nokurishandisa.

Mudzidziso yechina yenhevedzano yedu yenyaya iyi, ndakatsanangura kuti, kuburikidza neShoko Rake, Mwari anotipa sei kudya kwemweya kuti titsigire uye tisimbise hupenyu hutsva hwatakagamuchira kuburikidza nekuzvarwa patsva. Mutsamba ino yeDzidziso, ndichaongorora mimwe mibayiro miviri ichave neShoko raMwari paupenyu hwako: kucheneswa nekucheneswa.

Kugezwa kweShoko

Kuchidzidzo chino tichatanga nekutarisa pana VaEfeso 5:25–27. Kunyange zvazvo Pauro achitaura mashoko aya kuvarume, pfungwa huru yezvaari kutaura haisi yevarume vevanhu muukama hwavo nemadzimai avo. Asi, zviri maererano nehukama hwaKristu sechikomba kumwenga wake, kereke. Muchikamu chino, Pauro anotiudza zvinhu zviviri zvakakosha izvo Jesu Kristu—seMuponesi naShe wedu, uyewo sechikomba chechechi—akaitira vanhu Vake. Izvi ndizvo zvinotaurwa naPauro:

“Varume, idai vakadzi venyu, Kristu sezvaakadawo kereke, akazvipa nokuda kwayo; kuti aiite tsvene, aichenesa nokuishambidza kwemvura neshoko, kuti aikumikidze kwaari kereke pakubwinya kwayo kose, isina gwapa kana kuwonyana, kana chimwe chakadai; asi kuti ave mutsvene uye asina chaangapomerwa.”

Pano tinoona zvinhu zviviri zvakakosha zvakaitwa naJesu kuitira kugara zvakanaka kwevanhu vake, kereke yake. Chokutanga ndechokuti Jesu akazvipa nokuda kwake. Pamuchinjikwa, akadeura ropa rake uye akafa kuti vanhu vake vagoregererwa. Naizvozvo, gadziriro yekutanga yaJesu Kristu rudzikinuro rwakakwana neropa rake. Akatidzikinura pachake. Asi nechinangwa chei? Ndima iri pamusoro inotitaurira kuti akatidzikinura neropa rake kuti aite chimwe chinhu zvakare: kuti atichenese nokutichenura nokushambidza nemvura neShoko. Shoko riri kurehwa pano iShoko raMwari. Mavhesi aya anotaura pfungwa yakafanana inowanikwa mune dzimwe nzvimbo muRugwaro, umo Shoko raMwari rinofananidzwa nemvura yakachena iyo, sezvarinoshanda patiri, inotichenesa nokutichenesa. Mashoko aya akanyorwa muna VaEfeso anoratidza kuti zvose izvi gadziriro dzaJesu Kristu zvinokosha kuti tive rudzi rwechechi yaanoda somwenga Wake.

Zvinoita Mvura

Chekutanga, tinofanira kuziva kuti takaregererwa neropa raJesu. Asi izvozvo, pachazvo, handizvo zvoga. Kupfuura izvozvo, tinofanira kuzviisa pasi pekushanda kweShoko rake mumwoyo yedu, mupfungwa nomuupenyu kuti chitichenese nokutichenura kuti tive vatsvene uye vasina chavanopomerwa. Kuvavarira uku ndicho chinangwa chikuru chatakaisirwa naMwari. Asi sezvo Mwari akaisa chinangwa, tinoziva kuti akatipawo nzira dzokuchizadzisa.

Panguva iyi, zvakakosha kuti tinzwisise zvakajeka musiyano pakati pekucheneswa nekucheneswa. Shoko rokuti “kuchenesa” ishoko rinozivikanwa—kunyange muupenyu hwezuva nezuva. Rinoreva kuchenesa kana kuchena. Kutanga kushanda kweShoko raMwari patiri kucheneswa. Kuburikidza neShoko rake, Mwari anochenesa pfungwa dzedu, mwoyo yedu, pfungwa dzedu, uye vavariro dzedu. Anosuka icho chinotadza, chine tsvina uye chakasvibiswa.

Zvisinei, Mwari anotitsvenesawo. Shoko rokuti “tsvenesa” rinowanzova izwi rechitendero rinotyisa vanhuwo zvavo. Rega ndikutsanangurirei nenzira iyi: chero izwi rinopera na“-ify” kana “-ification,” rinongoreva “kuita chimwe chinhu kuti ive chero chauya panotangira izwi,” Naizvozvo, kunatsa zvinoreva kuti “ kuita chena.” Kucheneswa kunoreva “kucheneswa.” Nenzira yakafanana, kutsvenesa kunoreva “kutsvenesa.” Unogona kubvunza kuti, “Zvinorevei munyika kuti kutsvene zvinorevei?” Ishoko rimwe chete rokuti musande, Uye “musande” chii? Mumutauro wepakutanga weMagwaro, ishoko rinoreva munhu mutsvene. Zvakapfava zvikuru, kucheneswa kunoreva “kutiita vatsvene.”

Zvino, pane mativi maviri ehutsvene: chekutanga, chinopikisa; ipapo iyo yakanaka. Chinhu chisina kunaka chehutsvene kupatsanurwa. Zvinoreva kuparadzaniswa nechivi, kuparadzaniswa kuna Mwari kubva pane zvese zvisina kuchena uye zvisingagamuchirwi naMwari. Kupfuura izvozvo, zvisinei, kune rutivi rwakanaka rwoutsvene. Zvinorevawo kutora utsvene hwaMwari pachake—ndiko kuti, kuva mutsvene noutsvene hwaMwari. Izvi tinozviona zvakajeka muna VaHebheru 12, ndima 10 ne14. Mundima 10 , munyori anotaura nezvekubatana kuri pakati pechirango chemadzibaba evanhu uye chirango chaMwari, Baba vedu vokudenga. Anoti:

“Ivo [madzibaba edu enyama] vakatiranga kwechinguva chiduku sezvavaifunga zvakanaka; asi Mwari anotiranga kuti zvitinakire, kuti tigogoverwa utsvene hwake.” (NIV)

Tinoona pano kuti chinangwa chekupedzisira chekubata kwaMwari nekuranga muhupenyu hwedu ndechekuti tigovane muhutsvene hwake. Ichi chiitiko chehutsvene hachisi chekungokanganisa chete-kurega chivi nekusachena. Parutivi rwakanaka, kuri kugamuchira mukati medu chimiro chaicho noutsvene hwaMwari amene, kuti tive vatsvene noutsvene hwaMwari. Chinangwa cheichi chinangwa ndechei? Tinoona mhinduro yacho mundima 14. Muchirevo chimwe chetecho choutsvene, munyori waVaHebheru anopfuurira kuti:

“Itai zvose zvamunogona kuti mugare murugare nevanhu vose uye muve vatsvene; pasina utsvene hapana achaona Ishe. (NIV)

Ichi ichokwadi chakadzama: tinofanira kuva vatsvene kana tichizozoona Ishe. Zvinokwanisika sei? Urongwa hwaMwari kwatiri ndehwokutiita vatsvene no“kugeza nemvura neshoko.” Shoko rake rinotichenesa uye rinotichenesa—rinonyatsotisuka uye rinotiitawo vatsvene.

Musungo Wechitendero

Iyi musimboti wekugezwa kwemvura yeshoko raMwari yakakosha pakukura kwedu pamweya. Zvisinei, pane musiyano unokosha pakati penzira iyo Mwari anoshanda nayo kutiita vatsvene nemitoo inowanzoteverwa nechitendero. Chitendero chinowanzoshanda kubva kunze mukati. Chinotanga nekunze chichiti, "Ita ichi uye usaita icho, uye ipapo uchava mutsvene." Jesu anotaura rudzi urwu rwechitendero chehutsvene muna Mateo 23- apo Anohuramba sehusina kukwana uye husingagutsi. Heino tsananguro yaIshe wedu yemhando yehutsvene hwaive nevanyori nevaFarise. Jesu anoti kwavari:

Zviri kutaurwa naJesu pano ndezvekuti kana moyo wako wakachena, that condition will take you in the presence of God. Kana wakachena mumwoyo, nokudaro mashoko ako, pfungwa, nezviito zvose zvichave zvakachena. Zvirevo 4:23 inotiyeuchidza kuti zvitubu zvoupenyu zvinobva mumwoyo. Zvese zvehupenyu hwako zvinozobva pamwoyo wako. Kana mwoyo wako wakachena, hupenyu hwako huchava hwakachena. Zvisinei, hazvibviri kuva nehupenyu hwakachena pasina mwoyo wakachena.

Kuvandudza Pfungwa Dzedu

Tinokudziridza moyo wakachena sei? Nzira yaMwari yokutiita kuti tive vakachena mukati ndeyokuvandudza pfungwa dzedu—nekushandura nzira yatinofunga nayo. Izvi zvinotsanangurwa zvakajeka muna VaRoma 12:2:

“Musaenzaniswa nenyika ino, asi mushandurwe nokuvandudzwa kwepfungwa dzenyu, kuti muidze muzive kuda kwaMwari kwakanaka, kunogamuchirika uye kwakakwana.”

Murairo wakajeka mushoko raPauro aya. Hatifaniri kuita sevanhu venyika vasingashumiri Jesu Kristu uye vasingakudzi Mwari. Tinofanira kusiyana. Tinofanira kushandurwa. Asi kuchinja ikoko kunoitika sei? Tinofanira kushandurwa—kwete nemitemo nemirau yokunze—asi nokuvandudzwa kwepfungwa dzedu. Shanduko yatinoda inofanira kubva mukati medu. Mundima iyi yeVaRoma 12, Pauro anotiudza kuti kana pfungwa dzedu dzavandudzwa, tichakwanisa kuratidza-ndiko kuti, kuziva kubva muchiitiko-chakanaka, chinogamuchirika uye chakakwana. Mukukosha, tichaziva kuti chii chaicho chiri kuda kwaMwari kuhupenyu hwedu. Ndapota cherechedza kuti kuda kwaMwari hakuratidzwi kupfungwa dzisina kuvandudzwa. Ingori pfungwa yakavandudzwa chete inogona kuonga nokupinda mukuda kwaMwari.

Zvino kune mubvunzo wakakosha. Shoko raMwari rinovandudza sei pfungwa dzedu? Ini ndinokurudzira kuti tifunge nezve iyi nzira yekuvandudza mumatanho matatu. Chokutanga, Shoko rinosuka tsvina. Inotichenesa patsvina, papfungwa dzisina kuchena, pakutaura kwakasviba nepakuchiva kwakaipa. Inosuka maitiro iwayo kubva kwatiri.

Chechipiri, inoshandura hunhu hwedu. Tinotanga kushanda nemaitiro akasiyana. Tinotanga kuona zvinhu nenzira yakasiyana. Isu tinoongorora nyaya nenzira iyo Mwari anodziongorora. Tinotanga kudana chivi, chivi—uye kururama, kururama. Tinorega kunyengedzwa nemashoko epfungwa anoshamisira pane zvisingafadzi Mwari.

Chechitatu, Shoko raMwari, richishanda matiri, rinotiita kuti tizive zvinangwa zvaMwari. Zvinangwa zvedu zvinoshanduka. Hatisisina kunyanya kunetseka nezvatinoda. Panzvimbo pezvo, chishuvo chedu chikuru chinova icho Mwari anoda. Tinoziva nezvezvinangwa zvaMwari zviri kuitwa pasi pano. MuMunyengetero waShe, Jesu akatidzidzisa kuti, “Umambo hwenyu ngahuuye”—uye iyi inova vavariro huru nechishuvo choupenyu hwedu. Chishuvo chedu chikuru chinova kuona humambo hwaMwari hwagadzwa panyika. Nevavariro iyi inokosha zvikuru muupenyu hwedu, hatigoni kuita chimwe chinhu kunze kwokurarama nenzira yakasiyana.

Kana shanduko dzese idzi dzauya mupfungwa dzedu dzinozoratidzwa mukushanduka kwemaitiro edu ekunze. Zviri pachena kuti Mwari anotanga muitiro weupenyu hwedu nokuvandudza pfungwa dzedu neShoko rake.

Wakakumbira Ishe kuti vaite shanduko muhupenyu hwako here? Unonyatsoziva here kuti wakabvumira Shoko raMwari kuti rikuchenese uye rikuchenese—uchivandudza pfungwa dzako kuti hushe Hwake huve chinhu chikuru kwauri? Kana muchida kuve nechokwadi kuti izvi zvaitika kwamuri, kana muchida kusimbisazve kuzvipira kwenyu kumisimboti iyi, ndapota batanai neni mumunamato unotevera.

Hezvino izvo Jesu akanga achitaura kwavari: “Imi vaFarisi! Iwe unogara uchishanda pakuchenesa kunze kwendiro uye mukombe, asi iwe hauna kuchenesa zviri mukati. Uye zviri mukati zvicharamba zvichisvibisa kunze, kunyange ukaedza kuzvinatsa kangani. Kukanganisa kwechitendero cherudzi urwu ndechekuti chinoedza kuita kuti vanhu vave vatsvene kuburikidza nekushanda kunze mukati. Maitiro aya anoonekwa muzvikamu zvakawanda zvechechi nhasi, apo vaKristu vanoudzwa kuti utsvene hunofanira kuwanikwa nekutevera boka revanhu. akaita mitemo. Heino dambudziko nemaitiro iwayo: Haambochinji munhu nechomukati.

Mukupesana, tinoona mumashoko aJesu ari pana Mateo 5:8 kuti nzira yaMwari yokutiita vatsvene ndeyokushanda mukati mokunze.
