"Chikondano ... M'ntchito ndi Choonadi"

[Kuchokera ws17 / 10 p. 7 - Novembala 27-December 3]

"Tiyenera kukonda, osati ndi mawu kapena ndi lilime, koma ndi ntchito ndi chowonadi." - 1 John 3: 18

(Nthawi: Yehova = 20; Jesus = 4)

Funso loyamba mu sabata ino Nsanja ya Olonda kuphunzira ndi:

1. Kodi mtundu wachikondi kwambiri ndi uti, ndipo ndichifukwa chiyani zili choncho? (Onani chithunzi pamwambapa.)

Kodi mungayankhe bwanji mutawona chithunzichi?

Tsopano zanenedwa kuti chithunzi ndichofunika mawu chikwi. Chifukwa chimodzi ndikuti chithunzicho chimapita molunjika kuubongo kudutsa zosefera zilizonse kapena zotanthauzira zaubongo. Ngakhale ena angatsutse mfundo imeneyi, ndi ochepa omwe angakane kuti zomwe timawona zimakhudza nthawi yomweyo ndipo zitha kutitsogolera mosavuta pamalingaliro ena.

Mwachitsanzo, funsani mwana funso lomwelo lomutsogolera ku chithunzi pamwambapa ndipo mukuganiza kuti yankho lake lidzakhala liti? Kodi mungadabwe ngati anganene kuti, “Kukonza Nyumba ya Ufumu, kapena kumanga Nyumba ya Ufumu”?

Yankho lenileni kuchokera m'ndime ndikuti mtundu wapamwamba kwambiri wa chikondi ndi chikondi chopanda dyera "chokhazikitsidwa ndi mfundo zoyenera". Kodi zingakudabwitseni kudziwa kuti izi si zoona?

Kuti mutsimikizire izi, werengani mawu a Paulo kwa Timoteo.

“Chitani chilichonse chotheka kuti mubwere kwa ine posachedwa. 10 Kwa Demas wandisiya chifukwa anakonda dongosolo la zinthu lilipoli,. . . ”(2Ti 4: 9, 10)

Mneni wotanthauza kuti “wokondedwa” pandime yake akuchokera ku verebu lachi Greek agapaó, lolingana ndi dzina lachi Greek agapé. Kukonda dongosolo la zinthu kwa Demas komwe kunamupangitsa kuti amusiye Paulo pa zosowa zake sikungatchulidwe kuti 'chikondi chopanda dyera chokhazikika pamakhalidwe abwino'.

Ichi ndi chitsanzo cha zomwe zakhala chakudya chauzimu chomwe chimaperekedwa kwa Mboni za Yehova - "chakudya cha panthawi yoyenera" chomwe amachitcha. Ndizoyipa kuti kuwunika kwa agapé munkhaniyi ndizapamwamba, koma choyipa kwambiri ndikuti zimanenedwa molakwika.

Pali mawu anayi achi Greek osonyeza chikondi.  Agape ndi amodzi mwa anayiwo, koma m'mabuku achigiriki achigiriki sanawagwiritse ntchito kawirikawiri. Pachifukwa ichi, idalibe tanthauzo likhalidwe, ndikupangitsa kuti likhale mawu oyenera kuti Yesu aligwiritse ntchito kuti afotokozere china chatsopano: Mtundu wachikondi chomwe sichipezeka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Yohane akutiuza kuti Mulungu ndiye agapé. Chifukwa chake chikondi cha Mulungu chimakhala muyezo wa Golide womwe chikondi chonse chachikhristu chimayesedwa. Pachifukwa ichi, mwa ena, adatitumizira Mwana wake - chithunzi Chake changwiro - kuti tikaphunzire momwe chikondi ichi chikuyenera kuwonetseredwa pakati pa anthu.

Potsanzira chikondi chapadera cha Mulungu, otsatira Kristu ayenera kukhala nawo agapé kwa wina ndi mnzake. Mosakayikira, uwu ndi mkhalidwe wabwino kwambiri wachikhristu. Komabe, monga tikuonera m'mawu a Paulo, titha kuyigwiritsa ntchito molakwika. Dema anali wodzikonda, komabe wake agapé anali okhulupirirabe. Ankafuna zomwe dziko lino lipereka, chifukwa chake zinali zomveka kuti amusiye Paulo, adziike patsogolo, ndikupita kukapeza zomwe dongosolo lingamupatse. Zomveka, koma sizolondola. Wake agapé idakhazikitsidwa pamakhalidwe, koma mfundo zake zinali zolakwika, kotero kuwonetsera chikondi chake anapotozedwa. Kotero agape itha kukhala yodzikonda ngati chikondi chalunjikitsidwa mkati, kwa iwemwini; kapena osadzikonda, ngati atsogozedwa panokha kuti athandize ena. Mkhristu agapé, popeza kutanthauzira kwake ndikutsanzira Khristu, ndiko chikondi chakunja. Komabe, kungolifotokoza kuti "chikondi chopanda dyera" ndichopanda tanthauzo, monga kufotokozera Dzuwa ngati mpweya wotentha. Ndizomwezo, koma ndizochulukirapo.

William Barclay amagwira ntchito yabwino kwambiri pofotokozera mawuwo:

Agape zikugwirizana ndi malingaliro: sichimodzimodzinso chomwe chimakwera m'mitima yathu chosadetsedwa; ndi mfundo yomwe timatsatira. Agape ali ndi chochita kwambiri ndi adzatero. Ndi chigonjetso, chigonjetso, komanso kuchita bwino. Palibe amene mwachilengedwe amene anakonda adani ake. Kukonda adani athu ndiye kugonjetsa kwa chilengedwe chathu komanso zomwe timachita.

izi agapé, chikondi cha chikhristu ichi, sichongotigwera mtima chabe chomwe chimabwera kwa ife mosakhazikika komanso osafunikira; ndi lingaliro lamadala la malingaliro, ndikugonjetsa dala ndi kukwaniritsa chifuniro. M'malo mwake ndi mphamvu yokonda osakondedwa, kukonda anthu omwe sitimawakonda. Chikristu sichimatipempha kuti tizikonda adani athu ndi kukonda amuna monga momwe timakondera anzathu apamtima komanso okondedwa athu ndi omwe amayandikira kwa ife; zingakhale nthawi imodzi komanso zosatheka komanso zolakwika. Koma zimafunikira kuti nthawi zonse tiyenera kukhala ndi lingaliro lamalingaliro ndi lingaliro linalake lakufuna kwa amuna onse, ngakhale atakhala ndani.

Kodi tanthauzo la agapé tsopano ndi lotani?? Ndime yayikulu kwambiri yotanthauzira tanthauzo la agapé ndi Mat. 5.43-48. Tidayitanidwa kukonda adani athu. Chifukwa chiyani? Ndi cholinga choti tifanane ndi Mulungu.  Ndipo ndi chiani chochitika cha Mulungu chomwe chatchulidwa? Mulungu amatumiza mvula yake pa olungama ndi osalungama ndi pa oyipa ndi abwino. Ndiye kuti:ziribe kanthu kuti munthu ndi wotani, Mulungu safuna kanthu koma zabwino kwambiri.[I]

Ngati timakondadi anzathu, tidzachitanso zomwe zili zabwino kwa iye. Izi sizitanthauza kuti tidzachita zomwe akufuna kapena zomwe zimamusangalatsa. Nthawi zambiri, zomwe zili zabwino kwa wina sizomwe amafuna. Tikagawana chowonadi ndi abale athu a JW omwe amatsutsana ndi zomwe aphunzitsidwa, nthawi zambiri amakhala osasangalala nafe. Amathanso kutizunza. Izi zili choncho chifukwa tikusokoneza malingaliro awo apadziko lonse lapansi-chinyengo chomwe chimawapatsa kudzimva kukhala otetezeka, ngakhale chomwe chitha kukhala chabodza. Kuwononga koteroko kwa "chenicheni" chamtengo wapatali kumakhala kopweteka, koma kugwiritsitsa mpaka kumapeto kowawa kudzakhala kopweteka kwambiri, ngakhale kuwononga. Tikufuna kuti apewe zotsatira zomwe sizingapeweke, chifukwa chake timalankhula, ngakhale izi nthawi zambiri zimatanthauza kuti tiziwononga tokha. Ndi ochepa mwa ife amene timasangalala ndi mikangano komanso kusagwirizana. Nthawi zambiri, zimasandutsa abwenzi kukhala adani. (Mt 10: 36) Komabe, timakhala pachiwopsezo mobwerezabwereza, chifukwa chikondi (agapé) sichitha konse. (1Co 13: 8-13)

Malingaliro amtundu umodzi waphunziroli pokhudzana ndi chikondi chachikhristu amawonekera akamapereka chitsanzo cha Abrahamu mundime 4.

Abulahamu anaika kukonda kwake Mulungu patsogolo pa zakumverera kwake atalamulidwa kupereka mwana wake wamwamuna Isake. (Yak. 2: 21) - ndime. 4

Kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika Malemba poyera. Yakobo akunena za chikhulupiriro cha Abrahamu, osati chikondi chake. Chikhulupiriro mwa Mulungu ndi chomwe chidamupangitsa kuti amvere, ndikupereka mwaufulu mwana wake kwa Yehova. Komabe wolemba nkhaniyi akufuna kuti tikhulupirire kuti ichi ndi chitsanzo chotsimikizika cha chikondi chopanda dyera. Chifukwa chiyani mukugwiritsa ntchito chitsanzo choyipa ichi? Kodi mwina mutu wankhaniyi ndi "chikondi", koma cholinga cha nkhaniyi ndikulimbikitsa kudzipereka m'malo mwa Gulu?

Taonani zitsanzo zina za m'ndime 4.

1. Mwacikondi, Abele anapereka china kwa Mulungu.
2. Mwa chikondi, Nowa cholalikidwa kudziko.[Ii]
3. Mwa chikondi, Abrahamu adapanga a nsembe yamtengo wapatali.

Kukumbukira zithunzi zoyambira, titha kuyamba kuwona mawonekedwe akutuluka.

Kukondana Kwachikondicho Kusiyana ndi Chikondi

Zitsanzo zambiri zomwe zatchulidwa m'nkhaniyi zimalimbikitsa lingaliro lakutumikiraku. Kutanthauzira agapé pamene “chikondi chopanda dyera” chimangoloŵa m'maganizo a chikondi chodzimana. Koma kodi nsembe zimaperekedwa kwa yani?

Mofananamo, kukonda Yehova ndi anzathu kumatichititsa kuti tisangopempha Mulungu kuti 'atumize antchito kukakolola' komanso kuti tizigwira nawo mokwanira ntchito yolalikira.- ndime. 5 [Iyu ndiye ntchito yolalikira yoyendetsedwa ndi Gulu.]

Masiku anonso, ampatuko komanso ena amene amayambitsa magawano mu mpingo amagwiritsa ntchito “mawu osyasyalika ndi mawu osyasyalika” kudzipangitsa kuoneka ngati achikondi, koma cholinga chawo chenicheni ndi chadyera. - ndime. 7 [Kukonda Bungwe kungatipangitse kukana aliyense amene akutsutsana nafe.]

Chikondi chachiphamaso chimakhala chamanyazi makamaka chifukwa ndi chinyengo cha chikondi chodzipereka cha Mulungu. - ndime. 8 [Iwo omwe amatitsutsa, alibe chikondi chenicheni.]

Mosiyana ndi izi, chikondi chenicheni chimatipatsa chisangalalo potumikira abale athu popanda kutengeka kapena kuzindikira. Mwachitsanzo, abale omwe amathandizira Bungwe Lolamulira pakuthandizira kuphika chakudya chauzimu, sachita kudziletsa, osadzitengera okha kapena kuwulula zinthu zomwe agwiritsa ntchito. - ndime. 9 [chikondi chenicheni chimatanthawuza kuti sitidzachotsa ku Bungwe Lolamulira.]

Zonsezi zimayamba kuzimiririka tikazindikira kuti ndi mkhristu weniweni agapé ndizochita chinthu choyenera ngakhale mutakhala ndi mtengo wake. Timachita zoyenera, chifukwa ndi zomwe Atate wathu, yemwe ali agapé, amatero nthawi zonse. Mfundo zake zimawongolera malingaliro athu ndipo malingaliro athu amalamulira mitima yathu, kutipangitsa ife kuchita zinthu zomwe ife sitikanafuna kuti tichite, komabe ife timazichita izo chifukwa ife timayesetsa nthawi zonse kupindulitsa ena.

Bungwe Lolamulira likufuna kuti muwonetse chikondi chodzipereka ku Gulu. Akufuna kuti mumvere malangizo awo onse ngakhale zitakhala kuti mumafuna kudzimana. Kudzipereka koteroko kumachitika, malinga ndi iwo, chifukwa cha chikondi.

Ena akaloza zolakwika m'ziphunzitso zawo, amawaimba ngati ampatuko achinyengo omwe amawonetsa chikondi chabodza.

Chikondi chachiphamaso chimakhala chamanyazi makamaka chifukwa ndi chinyengo cha chikondi chodzipereka cha Mulungu. Chinyengo chotere chingapusitse anthu, koma osati Yehova. M'malo mwake, Yesu ananena kuti iwo amene ali ngati achinyengo adzalangidwa “kwambiri.” (Mat. 24: 51) Inde, atumiki a Yehova sangaonetse chikondi chinyengo. Komabe, tingachite bwino kudzifunsa kuti, 'Kodi chikondi changa nthawi zonse chimakhala chowona, osati chosadetsedwa ndi umbombo kapena chinyengo?' - ndime. 8

Yesu anati: “Komabe, mukanamvetsa tanthauzo la mawu akuti, 'Ndikufuna chifundo, osati nsembe,' simukanatsutsa osalakwawo.” (Mt 12: 7)

Masiku ano, cholinga chake ndikuperekanso nsembe osati chifundo. Mobwerezabwereza timawona "osalakwa" akuyimirira kuti amveke, ndipo awa amatsutsidwa kotheratu ngati ampatuko ndi onyenga.

Kudandaula kwakukulu kwa Yesu ku Bungwe Lolamulira lachiyuda lokhala ndi ansembe, alembi, ndi Afarisi ndikuti anali achinyengo. Komabe, mukuganiza kuti kwakanthawi adadziona kuti ndi achinyengo? Iwo adatsutsa Yesu za izi, ponena kuti adatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Mdyerekezi, koma palibe ngakhale kamodzi komwe omwe angawawunikire. (Mt 9: 34)

Agape nthawi zina zitha kukhala zopanda dyera, ndipo nthawi zina kudzipereka, koma zomwe zili pamwamba pa zonse ndi chikondi chomwe chimafunafuna zabwino za nthawi yayitali kwa iye amene chikondi chake chawonetsedwa. Wokondedwayo akhoza kukhala mdani.

Mkhristu akatsutsana ndi chiphunzitso cha Bungwe Lolamulira chifukwa choti angatsimikizire kuti ndi zabodza potengera Lemba, amatero chifukwa cha chikondi. Inde, akudziwa kuti izi zibweretsa magawano. Izi zikuyembekezeredwa ndipo ndizosapeweka. Utumiki wa Yesu unkazikidwa pachikondi basi, koma adaneneratu kuti izi zidzabweretsa magawano akulu. (Luka 12: 49-53) Bungwe Lolamulira likufuna kuti tizimvera mwakachetechete malangizo awo ndikupereka nthawi yathu ndi chuma chathu pantchito zawo, koma ngati ali olakwitsa, ndi njira yokhayo yachikondi kuwunikira izi. Wotsatira weniweni wa Khristu akufuna kuti onse apulumutsidwe ndipo asatayike aliyense. Chifukwa chake atenga gawo lolimba mtima, ngakhale pachiwopsezo chachikulu kwa iye ndi thanzi lake, chifukwa ndi zomwe Mkhristu amachita agapé.

Bungwe Lolamulira limakonda kunena kuti aliyense amene sagwirizana nawo ndi ampatuko amene amagwiritsa ntchito "mawu osyasyalika ndi mawu osyasyalika" kuti aziwoneka ngati achikondi ", ponena za oterewa ngati onyenga okha. Koma tiyeni tiwone izi mozama pang'ono. Ngati mkulu mu mpingo ayamba kuyankhula chifukwa akuwona kuti zina mwa zolembedwa m'mabukuwa sizolondola, ngakhale zabodza komanso zosocheretsa, kodi zimakhala zabodza? Komanso, kodi kudzikonda kumeneko ndi kotani? Munthu ameneyo ali ndi chilichonse choti ataye, ndipo zikuwoneka kuti palibe chomwe angapindule. (M'malo mwake, ali ndi zambiri zoti apindule, koma izi ndizosagwirika ndipo zimangopeka ndi maso achikhulupiriro. M'malo mwake, akuyembekeza kuti adzalandira chiyanjo cha Khristu, koma zonse zomwe angathe kuyembekezera kuchokera kwa anthu kuzunzidwa.)

Zofalitsa zimayamika amuna okhulupirika akale omwe adayimirira ndikulankhula zowona, ngakhale adayambitsa magawano mu mpingo ndipo adazunzidwa ngakhale kuphedwa kumene. Komabe, amuna ofanana masiku ano amanyozedwa akamagwira ntchito imodzimodzi mu mpingo wathu wamakono.

Kodi sindiwo onyenga omwe amalengeza kuti ndi olungama pomwe akupitiliza kuphunzitsa zabodza ndikuzunza "osalakwa" omwe amalimba mtima molimba mtima podziwa choonadi?

Chinyadzo choyipa cha ndima 8 sichimatayika pa iwo omwe alidi agapé chowonadi, Yesu, Yehova, ndipo inde, anthu anzawo.

KUMADZIWA

Nsanja ya Olonda amagwiritsa ntchito mawu akuti “chikondi chodzimana” m'nkhaniyi. Awa ndi amodzi mwamawu a Watchtower omwe amawoneka oyenera komanso osadziwika mukamawawona mopepuka. Komabe, wina ayenera kukayikira kugwiritsa ntchito mobwerezabwereza m'mabuku a mawu omwe sapezeka m'Baibulo. Kodi nchifukwa ninji mawu a Mulungu samanena konse za “chikondi chodzimana”?

Zowona, chikondi cha Khristu chimaphatikizapo kufunitsitsa kudzimana potaya zinthu zomwe timaona kuti ndizofunika, monga nthawi yathu ndi chuma chathu, kuti tithandizire wina. Yesu anadzipereka yekha mofunitsitsa chifukwa cha machimo athu, ndipo anachita izi chifukwa chokonda Atate komanso ifeyo. Komabe, kusonyeza chikondi chachikristu monga “kudzimana” kuli ndi malire ake. Yehova ndiye chitsanzo chachikulu cha chikondi, amene analenga zinthu zonse chifukwa cha chikondi. Komabe samafotokoza izi ngati nsembe yayikulu. Iye sali ngati amayi ena osowa omwe nthawi zonse amadziimba mlandu ana awo powakumbutsa za momwe adavutikira powabereka.

Kodi tiyenera kuona chikondi chilichonse ngati nsembe? Kodi izi sizisokoneza malingaliro athu aumulungu wopambana kwambiri? Yehova akufuna chifundo osati nsembe, koma zikuwoneka kuti Gulu lili nalo mwanjira ina. Munkhani imodzi ndi kanema motsatizana, tikuwona nsembe ikugogomezedwa, koma timayankhula liti za chifundo? (Mt 9:13)

M'nthawi ya Israeli, panali nsembe zopsereza zathunthu (nsembe) pomwe chilichonse chimadyedwa. Zonsezi zinapita kwa Yehova. Komabe, nsembe zambiri zimasiyira wansembe kanthu, ndipo chifukwa cha izi amakhala ndi moyo. Koma kukanakhala kolakwika kuti wansembe atenge zochuluka kuposa gawo lake; ndipo choyipa kwambiri kwa iye kukakamiza anthu kuti adzipereke kwambiri kuti apindule nawo.

Kulimbikira kwambiri pakupereka nsembe kumachokera ku Gulu. Ndani kwenikweni amene akupindula ndi “chikondi chodzimana” chonsechi?
