Muvidiyo yanga yapitayi yomwe inali gawo 1 la nkhanizi za pa Sabata ndi chilamulo cha Mose, tinaphunzira kuti Akristu safunika kusunga Sabata monga momwe Aisrayeli akale ankachitira. N’zoona kuti tili ndi ufulu wochita zimenezo, koma zimenezo zingakhale chosankha chaumwini. Komabe, sitiyenera kuganiza kuti pousunga, tikukwaniritsa zofunika kuti tipulumuke. Chipulumutso sichibwera chifukwa timayesetsa kusunga malamulo. Ngati tiganiza kuti zimatero, ngati tilalikira kwa ena kuti zimatero, ndiye kuti tikudzitsutsa tokha. Monga Paulo akunenera Agalatiya amenenso ankawoneka kuti ali ndi vuto ili la kuganiza kuti ayenera kusunga zina kapena zonse za lamulo:

“Pakuti ngati mudziyesera nokha olungama pamaso pa Mulungu mwa kusunga lamulo, munadulidwa kwa Khristu! Mwagwa kuchoka ku chisomo cha Mulungu.” (Agalatiya 5:4)

Chifukwa chake, olimbikitsa Sabata monga exJW Mark Martin, kapena utsogoleri wa mpingo wa Seventh-Day Adventist, ali pa ayezi wochepa kwambiri polalikira ku nkhosa zawo kuti kusunga Sabata ndikofunikira kuti munthu apulumuke. N’zoona kuti amuna amenewa akudziwanso za vesi limene tangowerengali, koma akuyesetsa kulithetsa ponena kuti kusunga Sabata n’kumene kunayambira chilamulo. Iwo amanena kuti linaikidwiratu kwa anthu panthaŵi ya chilengedwe, chifukwa Mulungu anapuma pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiŵiri nalitcha lopatulika. Eya, mdulidwe nawonso unali usanachitike chilamulo, komabe unapita ndipo amene ankaulimbikitsa anatsutsidwa. Kodi Sabata ndi losiyana bwanji? Chabwino, ine sindilowa mu izo tsopano, chifukwa ine ndachita kale chomwecho. Ngati simunawonere kanema woyamba kuti muwone chifukwa chake malingaliro a anthu a Sabata sakugwirizana ndi kusanthula kwamalemba, ndiye ndikupangira kuti muyimitse kanemayo ndikugwiritsa ntchito ulalo womwe uli pamwambapa kuti muwone kanema woyamba. Ndayikanso ulalo wake pofotokozera vidiyoyi ndipo ndikuwonjezeranso ulalo kumapeto kwa kanemayu.

Zonse zomwe zikunenedwa, tidatsalabe ndi mafunso angapo omwe sanayankhidwe muvidiyo yoyamba ija. Mwachitsanzo, mukayang'ana pa Malamulo Khumi, muwona kuti Sabata likuphatikizidwa ngati lamulo lachinayi. Tsopano, jambulani ena asanu ndi anayiwo akuwonetsa kuti akadali ovomerezeka. Mwachitsanzo, timaletsedwabe kulambira mafano, kunyoza dzina la Mulungu, kupha, kuba, kunama, ndi kuchita chigololo. Nanga n’cifukwa ciani Sabata liyenela kukhala losiyana?

Ena amatsutsa kuti Malamulo Khumi ali lamulo lamuyaya ndipo motero ndi losiyana ndi mazana ena a malamulo a m’chilamulo cha Mose, koma kusiyana koteroko kulipo m’malingaliro awo. Palibe paliponse m’malemba achikristu pamene Yesu kapena olemba Baibulo anatchulapo kusiyana kotereku. Pamene alankhula za lamulo, ndi lamulo lonse limene amakamba.

Chimene anthu oterowo amanyalanyaza n’chakuti monga Akristu, sitili opanda lamulo. Tidakali pansi pa lamulo. Sichilamulo cha Mose chomwe ife tiri pansi pake. Lamulo limenelo linalowedwa m’malo ndi lamulo lapamwamba—Malamulo Khumi analowedwa m’malo ndi Malamulo Khumi apamwamba. Izi zidanenedweratu ndi Yeremiya:

“Koma ili ndi pangano limene ndidzapangana ndi nyumba ya Israyeli atapita masiku aja, ati Yehova: Ndidzaika chilamulo changa m’kati mwawo, ndipo m’mtima mwawo ndidzachilemba; ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga.”— Yeremiya 31:33;

Kodi Yehova Mulungu akanatenga bwanji mpambo wolembedwa pamiyala ndi kulemba malamulowo m’mitima ya anthu?

Ngakhale akatswiri a chilamulo cha Mose m’nthaŵi ya Yesu sanadziŵe yankho la funso limenelo, zimene zikusonyezedwa ndi kukambirana kumeneku pakati pa mmodzi wa iwo ndi Ambuye wathu Yesu.

Mmodzi wa alembi anadza, namva iwo akukangana. Ataona kuti Yesu anawayankha bwino, anamufunsa kuti: “Pa malamulo onse, lamulo lalikulu ndi liti?

Yesu anayankha kuti: “Chofunika kwambiri ndi ili: ‘Imvani Aisiraeli inu, Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi Yehova mmodzi. Uzikonda Yehova Mulungu wako ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi moyo wako wonse, ndi maganizo ako onse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse. Lachiwiri ndi ili: 'Uzikonda mnzako mmene umadzikondera wekha.' Palibe lamulo lalikulu kuposa awa.

“Mwanena bwino, mphunzitsi,” mwamunayo anayankha. “Mukunena zoona ponena kuti Mulungu ndi mmodzi ndipo palibenso wina koma Iye. Kum’konda ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi nzeru zako zonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse, ndi kukonda mnzako monga udzikonda iwe mwini, n’kofunika koposa nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zonse.”

Yesu pakuona kuti wayankha mwanzeru, anati kwa iye, Suli kutali ndi Ufumu wa Mulungu. ( Marko 12:28-34 )

Chikondi! Kukonda Mulungu ndi kukonda ena. Zonse zimatengera zimenezo. N’kofunika kwambiri kuti Yesu ataona kuti Mfarisi ameneyu walandira, anamuuza kuti ‘sanali kutali ndi ufumu wa Mulungu. Chilamulo chikuphatikizidwa m’malamulo aŵiri: kukonda Mulungu ndi kukonda mnansi. Kumvetsa mfundo imeneyi kunachititsa kuti Mfarisiyo akhale pafupi ndi ufumu wa Mulungu. Malamulo atatu oyambirira a khumi adzasungidwa mwachibadwa ndi ife ngati timakondadi Mulungu. Zisanu ndi ziwiri zotsalazo, kuphatikizapo lachinayi, lamulo la Sabata, zidzasungidwa ndi Mkristu aliyense wotsatira chikumbumtima chake chosonkhezeredwa ndi chikondi.

Lamulo limene linalowa m’malo mwa lamulo la Mose ndi lamulo la Khristu, lamulo la chikondi. Paulo analemba kuti:

“Nyamuliranani zothodwetsa, ndipo potero mudzakwaniritsa chilamulo cha Kristu. ( Agalatiya 6:2 )

Kodi ndi lamulo liti lomwe tikunena? Kodi malamulo amenewa alembedwa kuti? Tiyeni tiyambe ndi iyi:

“Chotero tsopano ndikupatsani inu lamulo latsopano: Mukondane wina ndi mnzake. Monga ndakonda inu, inunso mukondane wina ndi mnzake. (Ŵelengani Yohane 13:34, 35.)

Ili ndi lamulo latsopano, kutanthauza kuti silinaphatikizidwe m’chilamulo cha Mose. Zatsopano bwanji? Kodi sakutiuza kuti tizikondana ndipo si zimene timachita mwachibadwa? Polankhula za kukonda adani ake pa Mateyu 5:43-48 , Yesu anati: “Ngati mupatsa moni abale anu okha, muchita chinthu chanji chachilendo? Kodi anthu amitundu nawonso sachita zomwezo?” ( Mateyu 5:47 )

Ayi, si chinthu chomwecho. Choyamba, m’gulu lirilonse la ophunzira, pali awo amene mudzamva kuti muli nawo pachibale, koma ena amene mudzawalekerera chifukwa chakuti ndiwo abale ndi alongo anu auzimu. Koma kodi chikondi chanu pa iwo chimafika pati? Yesu sanangotiuza kuti tizikonda banja lathu lonse lauzimu, koma amatipatsa chiyeneretso, njira yoyezera chikondi chimenecho. Iye akuti, kukondana wina ndi mnzake “monga ndakonda inu.”

Yesu anapereka zonse chifukwa cha ife. Baibulo limatiuza kuti iye anakhala ngati kapolo. Iye anapirira ngakhale imfa yowawa chifukwa cha ife. Chotero pamene Paulo anauza Agalatiya kunyamula zothodwetsa za wina ndi mnzake kuti ife tikhoze kukwaniritsa chilamulo cha Kristu, ife tsopano tikuwona mmene lamulolo limagwirira ntchito. Imatsogozedwa osati ndi malamulo okhwima olembedwa, chifukwa ndi malamulo aliwonse olembedwa, nthawi zonse padzakhala ming'alu. Ayi, iye analemba pamtima pathu. Lamulo la chikondi ndi lamulo lozikidwa pa mfundo zimene zingagwirizane ndi vuto lililonse. Sipangakhale zopinga.

Chotero, kodi ndimotani mmene chilamulo cha Kristu chaloŵerera m’malo mwa chilamulo cha Mose? Tengani lamulo lachisanu ndi chimodzi: “Usaphe.” Yesu anawonjezera kuti:

“MUNAmva kuti kunanenedwa kwa iwo akale, Usaphe; koma amene wapha munthu adzaweruzidwa ku bwalo la milandu. Komabe, ndinena kwa inu kuti aliyense wopitiriza kukwiyira m’bale wake adzakhala wopalamula kukhoti. koma aliyense wonena mbale wake ndi mawu achipongwe osaneneka adzayankha mlandu ku Khoti Lalikulu; Koma aliyense wonena kuti, 'Chitsiru iwe!' adzakhala wopalamula Gehena wamoto. (Ŵelengani Mateyu 5:21, 22.)

Chotero kupha, pansi pa chilamulo cha Kristu, sikulinso kokha mchitidwe wakuthupi wopha moyo mosaloledwa. Tsopano kumaphatikizapo kudana ndi mbale wanu, kunyoza Mkristu mnzanu, ndi kupereka chiweruzo chotsutsa.

Mwa njira, ndinagwiritsa ntchito Baibulo la Dziko Latsopano pano, chifukwa cha nthabwala. Mukuwona, tanthauzo lomwe akupereka kwa "chitsiru iwe!" Kodi ichi ndi:

“Limanena kuti munthu ndi wopanda pake, wampatuko ndi wopandukira Mulungu.” (w06 2/15 tsa. 31 Mafunso Ochokera kwa Owerenga)

Chotero, ngati mukwiyira ndi kunyoza mbale wanu kotero kuti mukumutcha “wampatuko,” mukudziweruza nokha ndi kudziweruza nokha ku imfa yachiŵiri m’Gehena. Kodi sizosangalatsa kuti Bungwe Lolamulira lanyengerera Mboni za Yehova kuphwanya lamulo la Kristu ili, motero kupha abale ndi alongo awo mwakuwadzudzula mwadala monga ampatuko chifukwa chakuti oterowo molimba mtima amaimira choonadi ndi kutsutsa ziphunzitso zonyenga za Olamulira. Thupi.

Ndikudziwa kuti izi siziri pamutu, koma zinayenera kunenedwa. Tsopano, tiyeni tione chitsanzo china cha mmene chilamulo cha Khristu chimaposa chilamulo cha Mose.

“MUNAmva kuti kunanenedwa, Usachite chigololo; Koma ine ndikukuuzani kuti aliyense woyang’anitsitsa mkazi mpaka kumulakalaka, wachita naye kale chigololo mumtima mwake. (Ŵelengani Mateyu 5:27, 28.)

Apanso, pansi pa chilamulo, mchitidwe wakuthupi wokhawo umayeneretsedwa kukhala chigololo, koma apa Yesu akupitirira chilamulo cha Mose.

Kodi ndimotani mmene chilamulo cha Kristu chimalowa m’malo mwa lamulo la Mose ponena za Sabata? Yankho la funso limeneli limabwera m’mbali ziwiri. Tiyeni tiyambe ndi kusanthula mbali ya makhalidwe abwino ya lamulo la Sabata.

“Kumbukirani tsiku la Sabata ndi kuliyeretsa. Masiku asanu ndi limodzi uzigwira ntchito ndi kuchita ntchito zako zonse; koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndilo sabata la Yehova Mulungu wako. Pa nthawiyo musagwire ntchito iliyonse, inu, kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna, kapena mwana wanu wamkazi, kapena wantchito wanu wamwamuna kapena wamkazi, kapena nyama zanu, kapena mlendo ali yense wakukhala m’midzi mwanu. Pakuti m’masiku asanu ndi limodzi Yehova analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zili mmenemo, koma anapumula tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri. Chifukwa chake Yehova anadalitsa tsiku la Sabata, naliyeretsa. ( Eksodo 20:8-11 )

Zindikirani kuti chofunika chokha chinali kupuma pantchito yonse kwa maola 24 athunthu. Umenewu unali kukoma mtima kwachikondi. Ngakhale akapolo sakanapemphedwa kuti azitumikira ambuye awo pa Sabata. Mwamuna ndi mkazi aliyense anali ndi nthawi yokhala okha. Nthawi yopumula m’maganizo, mwakuthupi, m’maganizo, ndi mwauzimu. Nthawi yosinkhasinkha. Nthawi yopanda ntchito zotopetsa.

Iwo anayenera kuusunga panthaŵi yake chifukwa iwo anali mtundu. Ku Canada, timapuma masiku awiri kuntchito. Timachitcha kuti weekend. Tonse timavomereza kuti tichite Loweruka ndi Lamlungu, chifukwa mwina zingakhale chipwirikiti.

Nthawi yopuma pantchito ndi yathanzi komanso imabwezeretsa moyo. Sabata linali makonzedwe achikondi, koma linafunikira kutsatiridwa ndi chilango cha imfa.

Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, Unene ndi ana a Israyeli, ndi kuti, Koposa zonse muzisunga masabata anga; pakuti ichi ndi chizindikiro pakati pa ine ndi inu m’mibadwo yanu yonse; Yehova, ayeretseni inu. Muzisunga sabata, chifukwa ndi lopatulika kwa inu. Aliyense wakuliipitsa aziphedwa. Aliyense wogwira ntchito iliyonse pamenepo, munthu ameneyo asadzidwe mwa anthu a mtundu wake. Masiku asanu ndi limodzi azigwira ntchito, koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndilo Sabata lakupumula, lopatulika la Yehova. Aliyense wogwira ntchito pa tsiku la sabata aziphedwa. Cifukwa cace ana a Israyeli azisunga Sabata, kusunga Sabata mwa mibadwo yao, likhale pangano losatha. Ndico cizindikilo ca nthawi zonse pakati pa ine ndi ana a Israyeli, kuti m’masiku asanu ndi limodzi Yehova analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, ndipo pa tsiku lacisanu ndi ciwiri anapumula, natsitsimutsidwa.’” ( Eksodo 31:12-17 ) Baibulo la Dziko Latsopano la Malemba Achigiriki XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX;

Kodi nchifukwa ninji makonzedwe achikondi akanafunikira kutsatiridwa ndi chilango cha imfa? Chabwino, tikudziwa kuchokera m’mbiri yawo kuti Aisrayeli anali anthu ankhanza, ouma khosi ndi opanduka. Iwo sakanasunga lamulo chifukwa chokonda anzawo. Koma kunali kofunika kuti iwo asunge chilamulo chonse, chifukwa chilamulo, kuphatikizapo Malamulo Khumi, kuphatikizapo Sabata, chinali ndi cholinga chachikulu.

Mu Agalatiya timawerenga za izi:

"Njira ya chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu isanapezeke kwa ife, tinayikidwa pansi pa lamulo. Tinasungidwa m’ndende zotetezera, kunena kwake titero, kufikira njira ya chikhulupiriro itaululidwa. Ndiroleni ndifotokoze mwanjira ina. Chilamulo chinali nkhoswe yathu kufikira Khristu anadza; idatiteteza kufikira titayesedwa olungama ndi Mulungu mwa chikhulupiriro. Ndipo tsopano kuti njira ya chikhulupiriro yafika, sitifunikiranso lamulo monga mlonda wathu.” (Ŵelengani Agalatiya 3:23-25.)

Njira ya chikhulupiriro yafika tsopano. Tsopano tapulumutsidwa, osati chifukwa cha kumamatira moumirira ku mpambo wa malamulo—lamulo limene wochimwa aliyense sakanatha kulisunga—koma ndi chikhulupiriro. Lamulo linakonzekeretsa mtunduwo kukhala ndi lamulo lapamwamba, lamulo la Kristu, lamulo lachikondi.

Ganizilani izi motere. Ngati Mwisiraeli Mwisrayeli ankasunga Sabata kuti asaphedwe koma kupha akapolo ake masiku asanu ndi limodzi, akanaweruzidwa malinga ndi lamulo. Ayi, chifukwa anasunga kalata wa chilamulo, koma pamaso pa Mulungu sanasunge mzimu wa chilamulo. Sanasonyeze chikondi kwa mnansi wake. Monga Akristu, tilibe zopinga chifukwa lamulo la chikondi limakhudza mikhalidwe yonse.

Yohane akutiuza kuti: “Aliyense wodana ndi m’bale kapena mlongo ndi wakupha munthu, ndipo mukudziwa kuti palibe wakupha munthu amene ali ndi moyo wosatha. Umu ndi mmene timadziwira chikondi: Yesu Khristu anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ife. Ndipo ifenso tiyenera kupereka moyo wathu chifukwa cha abale ndi alongo athu.” (Ŵelengani 1 Yohane 3:15, 16.)

Chifukwa chake, ngati mumvera mfundo yomwe Sabata idakhazikitsidwa, mudzawonetsetsa kuti mukuchita mwachilungamo ndi antchito anu osati kuwagwiritsa ntchito mopambanitsa. Simufunikira lamulo lokakamiza kuti musunge nthawi yokhazikika ya maola 24. M’malo mwake, chikondi chidzakusonkhezerani kuchita zimene zimapindulitsa awo amene amakugwirirani ntchito, ndipo ndithudi, inunso, chifukwa chakuti ngati mutagwira ntchito mosalekeza ndi kusapumula, mungataye chimwemwe chanu ndi kuvulaza thanzi lanu.

Zimenezi zimandikumbutsa moyo wanga monga wa Mboni za Yehova. Tinayenera kupezeka pamisonkhano isanu pamlungu ndipo tinkayembekezeredwa kutengamo mbali muutumiki wa khomo ndi khomo madzulo ndi Loweruka ndi Lamlungu. Zonsezi ndikusamalira banja komanso kugwira ntchito yanthawi zonse. Sitinakhalepo ndi tsiku lopuma, pokhapokha ngati tinadzitenga tokha, ndiyeno n’kutipangitsa kudzimva kuti ndife olakwa chifukwa chakuti sitinafike pa gulu la utumiki wakumunda kapena kuphonya misonkhano. Kudzimana kunkatchedwa, ngakhale kuti Malemba Achikristu sanena kalikonse ponena za kudzimana koteroko. Onani. Yang'anani mawu oti “wodzipereka *” mu pulogalamu ya Watchtower Library—olembedwa motere ndi zilembo zakuthengo kuti mumvetse kusiyana kulikonse. Mudzapeza makope oposa chikwi chimodzi m’zofalitsa za Watch Tower, koma palibe ngakhale limodzi m’Baibulo, ngakhale mu New World Translation. Tinatumikira mabwana a ntchito zankhanza amene anatitsimikizira kuti tinali kutumikira Yehova Mulungu. Utsogoleri wa Gulu udapangitsa Mulungu kukhala woyang'anira wankhanza.

Ndimaona kuti zikuvumbula kuti zolemba zomaliza za Malemba ouziridwa ndi za Yohane. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa chakuti zolembedwa zimenezo zimasonyeza chikondi koposa china chirichonse. Zili ngati kuti, atatipatsa zonse zimene Mulungu amachitira anthu, Atate wathu wakumwamba anauzira Yohane kuti anene mwachidule zonsezi mwa kutifikitsa ku kuzindikira komaliza kuti zonse zimadalira pa chikondi.

Ndipo izi zimatifikitsa ku chowonadi chenicheni ndi chodabwitsa chomwe chimavumbulutsidwa mu Sabata, chinthu chomwe Sabata onse amachiphonya, monga Afarisi ang'onoang'ono abwino omwe amakula poyang'ana pa malamulo, malamulo ndi malamulo kuti alungamitsidwe ndikuphonya chithunzi chachikulu cha zonse. m’lifupi, ndi m’litali, ndi kukwera, ndi kuya kwa chikondi cha Mulungu. M’kalata yopita kwa Aheberi, timauzidwa kuti:

“Chilamulo ndicho mthunzi chabe wa zinthu zabwino zimene zikubwera, osati zenizenizo. Chifukwa cha ichi sichikhoza konse, mwa nsembe zomwezo zobwerezedwa kosatha chaka ndi chaka, kufikitsa angwiro iwo akuyandikira kulambira.” ( Ahebri 10:1 )

Ngati “chilamulo chiri mthunzi chabe wa zinthu zabwino zimene zikubwera,” ndiye kuti Sabata, lomwe ndi mbali ya chilamulocho, liyeneranso kuchitira chithunzi zinthu zabwino zimene zikubwera, sichoncho? Kodi ndi zinthu zabwino ziti zimene Sabata limachitira chithunzi?

Yankho la zimenezo lili m’chilamulo choyambirira cha Sabata.

“Pakuti m’masiku asanu ndi limodzi Yehova analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zili mmenemo, koma anapumula tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri. Chifukwa chake Yehova anadalitsa tsiku la Sabata, naliyeretsa. ( Eksodo 20:11 )

Monga momwe taonera m’vidiyo yapitayi, ano si masiku enieni a maola 24, komanso nkhani ya kulengedwa kwa Genesis sinayenera kutengedwa kuti ndi yeniyeni monga mmene polojekiti ina yosinthira mapulaneti ikuyendera. Zomwe tili nazo pano ndikulongosola ndakatulo zomwe cholinga chake ndi kuthandiza anthu okalamba kumvetsetsa zinthu za kulenga ndi kufotokoza lingaliro la sabata la ntchito la masiku asanu ndi awiri lomwe limatha tsiku lopuma. Sabata limenelo ndilo mpumulo wa Mulungu, koma kodi kwenikweni likuimira chiyani?

Yesu akutitsogolera ku yankho m’nkhani imene anatsutsanso ulamuliro wokhwima wa Afarisi.

Tsiku lina la Sabata Yesu anali kudutsa m’minda yatirigu, ndipo ophunzira ake anayamba kubudula ngala zatirigu alikuyenda. Choncho Afarisi anati kwa Iye, “Taonani, n’chifukwa chiyani akuchita zosaloleka pa tsiku la sabata?” Yesu anayankha kuti: “Kodi simunawerenge zimene Davide anachita pamene iye ndi anzake anamva njala ndi kusowa? Pa nthawi ya unsembe wamkulu wa Abiyatara, analowa m’nyumba ya Mulungu n’kudya mikate yopatulika, imene inali yololeka kwa ansembe okha. Ndipo anapatsanso anzake.” Kenako Yesu anati, “Sabata lidapangidwira munthu, osati munthu chifukwa cha Sabata. Choncho, Mwana wa munthu ali Mbuye wa Sabata.( Marko 2:23-28 )

Mawu awiri omalizirawo ndi olemetsa ndi matanthauzo kotero kuti ndingayerekeze kuti zingatenge bukhu lonse kuti liwafotokoze. Koma tili ndi mphindi zochepa chabe. Tiyeni tiyambe ndi mawu oyamba akuti: “ Sabata linapangidwa chifukwa cha munthu, osati munthu chifukwa cha Sabata. Anthu sanalengedwe kuti azisunga Sabata. Sabata linalengedwa kuti litipindulitse, koma apa Yesu sakunena za tsiku limodzi la sabata. Tsiku la Sabata linkatentha kwambiri Afarisi ndi kuvutitsidwa nalo linali chabe chizindikiro cha chinthu chachikulu kwambiri—mthunzi wa chenicheni.

Komabe, chizoloŵezi cha chifarisi chimene anthu ambiri amavutika nacho mwamsanga chimapanga chizindikiro chochuluka kuposa chenicheni chimene chimaimira. Tengani umboni wa zimenezi, malamulo opangidwa ndi Afarisi amakono omwe amapanga Bungwe Lolamulira la Mboni za Yehova. Pankhani ya lamulo la Mulungu lokhudza magazi, iwo amapanga zambiri za chizindikiro kuposa chimene chimaimira. Magazi amaimira moyo, koma angakonde kupereka moyo, kenako kuphwanya kutanthauzira kwawo koletsa kudya magazi. Kutengera mawu a Yesu onena za Sabata kwa gulu la Afarisi limeneli ndi kusintha mawu osavuta kumva kumatithandiza kuti: “Magazi anapangidwa chifukwa cha munthu, osati munthu chifukwa cha magazi.” Yehova Mulungu sanafune kuti anthu azifa chifukwa chokana kuikidwa magazi. Simupereka nsembe zenizeni kuti mupulumutse chizindikiro, sichoncho? Ndi zamkhutu.

Mofananamo, Afarisi akalewo, ankaganiza kuti kumvera lamulo pa Sabata kunali kofunika kwambiri kuposa kuchepetsa kuvutika kwa munthu, kaya ndi njala kapena matenda. Kumbukirani mmene anadandaulira nthaŵi zambiri pamene Yesu anachiritsa odwala ndi kuchititsa kuona kwa akhungu pa Sabata.

Iwo anaphonya mfundo yakuti cholinga chonse cha Sabata chinali kuchepetsa kuvutika. Tsiku lopuma ku ntchito zathu.

Koma ngati Yesu sanali kunena za tsiku lenileni la maola 24 pamene ananena kuti Sabata linapangidwa chifukwa cha munthu, ndiye kuti anali kunena za Sabata liti? Chidziŵitsocho chiri m’mawu ake otsatirawa: “Mwana wa munthu ali Mbuye wa Sabata.”

Iye sakunena za masiku a sabata. Chani? Kodi Yesu ndi Ambuye wa Sabata, koma osati masiku ena? Ndani ndiye Ambuye wa Lolemba, Lachiwiri, kapena Lachitatu?

Kumbukirani kuti Sabata linali lophiphiritsa la tsiku la mpumulo la Ambuye. Sabata la Mulungu limenelo likupitirirabe.

Tsopano ndiwerenga gawo lalitali la Ahebri kuyambira chaputala 3 vesi 11 mpaka chaputala 4 vesi 11. Ndikhoza kufotokoza zonsezi m'mawu anga, koma mawu ouziridwa pano ndi amphamvu kwambiri komanso odzifotokozera okha.

“Chotero mu mkwiyo wanga ndinalumbira, kuti: ‘Sadzalowa m’malo anga mpumulo.’ Chotero samalani, abale ndi alongo okondedwa. Onetsetsani kuti mitima yanu si yoyipa ndi yosakhulupirira, ndikukupatutsani kuchoka kwa Mulungu wamoyo. Muyenera kuchenjezana wina ndi mnzake tsiku lililonse, pamene “kukadali lero,” kuti pasakhale mmodzi wa inu amene anganyengedwe ndi uchimo ndi kuumitsa mtima kwa Mulungu. Pakuti ngati tikhala okhulupilika kufikira chimaliziro, ndi kukhulupirira Mulungu kolimba monga tidayamba kukhulupira, tidzalandira nawo zonse za Kristu. Kumbukirani zimene limanena kuti: “Lero mukamva mawu ake, musaumitse mitima yanu monga anachitira Aisrayeli pamene anapanduka.” Ndipo ndani amene anapandukira Mulungu, ngakhale anamva mawu ake? Kodi si anthu amene Mose anawatsogolera kutuluka mu Igupto? Ndipo ndani adakwiyitsa Mulungu zaka makumi anayi? Kodi si anthu amene anachimwa, amene mitembo yawo inali m’chipululu? Nanga Mulungu anali kulankhula ndi ndani pamene analumbira kuti sadzalowa mpumulo wake? Kodi si anthu amene sanamumvere? Tsono tikuwona kuti chifukwa cha kusakhulupirira kwawo sanathe kulowa mu mpumulo wake. Lonjezo la Mulungu lolowa mpumulo likadalipobe, choncho tiyenera kunthunthumira ndi mantha kuti ena mwa inu angalephere. Pakuti uthenga wabwino uwu, wakuti Mulungu wakonza mpumulo uwu, walalikidwa kwa ife monganso kwa iwo. Koma sizinawathandize chifukwa analibe chikhulupiriro cha anthu amene ankamvera Mulungu. Pakuti ife tokha okhulupirira tingalowe mpumulo wake. Ponena za enawo, Mulungu anati: “M’kukwiya kwanga ndinalumbira kuti: ‘Sadzalowa m’malo anga a mpumulo. Tikudziwa kuti ndi lokonzeka chifukwa cha malo m’Malemba amene amatchula tsiku la 3 kuti: “Tsiku la 11 Mulungu anapuma ku ntchito yake yonse.” Koma m’ndime ina Mulungu adati: “Sadzalowa m’malo anga opumula. Chotero mpumulo wa Mulungu ulipo kuti anthu alowe, koma awo amene anayamba kumva uthenga wabwino’wo analephera kulowamo chifukwa chakuti iwo sanamvere Mulungu. Choncho Mulungu anaika nthawi ina yoti alowe mpumulo wake, ndipo nthawi imeneyi ndi lero. Mulungu analengeza zimenezi kudzera mwa Davide pambuyo pake, m’mawu amene tawagwira kale kale akuti: “Lero mukamva mawu ake, musaumitse mitima yanu.” Tsopano ngati Yoswa anakwanitsa kuwapatsa mpumulo umenewu, Mulungu sakananena za tsiku lina la mpumulo limene linali m’tsogolo. Choncho pali mpumulo wapadera womwe ukuyembekezerabe anthu a Mulungu. Pakuti onse amene analowa mu mpumulo wa Mulungu anapuma ku ntchito zawo, monga mmene Mulungu anachitira atalenga dziko lapansi. Choncho tiyeni tichite zonse zimene tingathe kuti tilowe mu mpumulo umenewo. Koma tikapanda kumvera Mulungu ngati mmene anachitira Aisiraeli, tidzagwa. (Ŵelengani Aheberi 4:11-XNUMX:XNUMX.)

Pamene Yehova anapuma pa ntchito yake yolenga, kodi mkhalidwe wa dziko unali wotani? Zonse zinali zabwino. Adamu ndi Hava anali opanda uchimo ndipo anali pafupi kubala mtundu wa anthu. Onse anaikidwa kuti azilamulira chilengedwe chonse cha padziko lapansi ndi kudzaza dziko lapansi ndi mbadwa zaumunthu zolungama. Ndipo koposa zonse, anali pamtendere ndi Mulungu.

Zimenezo n’zimene kukhala mu mpumulo wa Mulungu kumatanthauza: kusangalala ndi mtendere wa Mulungu, kukhala paubwenzi ndi Atate wathu.

Komabe, iwo anachimwa ndipo anathamangitsidwa m’munda wa paradaiso. Anataya cholowa chawo ndipo anafa. Kuti tilowe mu mpumulo wa Mulungu, tiyenera kuchoka ku imfa kupita ku moyo. Tiyenera kuloledwa kuloŵa mu mpumulo wa Mulungu mwa chisomo chake chozikidwa pa kukhulupirika kwathu. Yesu akupanga zonsezi. Iye ndiye Mbuye wa Sabata. Ndi iye amene, monga Ambuye, ali ndi mphamvu yotiweruza ndi kutilowetsa mu mpumulo wa Mulungu. Monga momwe Ahebri amanenera, ngati tikhulupirira “Mulungu kolimba monga momwe tidayamba kukhulupira, tidzakhala ogawana m’zonse za Kristu.” Mpumulo umenewu wakhala wokonzeka kuyambira pamene Mulungu analenga dziko la Anthu. “Choncho tiyeni tichite zonse zomwe tingathe kuti tilowe mu mpumulo umenewo.”

Chilamulo cha Mose ndi mthunzi wa zinthu zabwino zimene zikubwera. Chimodzi mwa zinthu zabwino zimenezo, chochitiridwa chithunzi ndi tsiku la Sabata la mlungu ndi mlungu ndi mwayi wolowa m’tsiku la mpumulo la Mulungu wamuyaya wa Sabata. Mulungu atatipangira nyumba, anapumula. Anthu anali mu mpumulo umenewo kuyambira pachiyambi ndipo akanapitirizabe kukhala mmenemo kwamuyaya malinga ngati ankamvera Atate wawo wakumwamba. Zimenezi zikutifikitsanso ku choonadi chofunika kwambiri cha chikondi.

“Kukonda Mulungu kumatanthauza kusunga malamulo ake, ndipo malamulo akewo ndi osalemetsa.” (Ŵelengani 1 Yohane 5:3.)

“Ndalemba kukukumbutsani, okondedwa, kuti tizikondana wina ndi mnzake. Ili si lamulo latsopano, koma limene takhala nalo kuyambira pachiyambi. Chikondi chimatanthauza kuchita zimene Mulungu anatilamulira, ndipo anatilamulira kuti tizikondana wina ndi mnzake, monga munamva kuyambira pachiyambi.” (Ŵelengani 2 Yohane 5:6.)

Lamulo limene tinali nalo kuyambira pachiyambi linali lamulo latsopano limene Yesu anatipatsa kuti tizikondana wina ndi mnzake monga mmene iye anatikondera.

Mdyerekezi anatilekanitsa ndi Mulungu potiuza kuti titha kukhala bwino popanda iye. Taonani mmene izo zinakhalira. Kuyambira tsiku limenelo sitinapume. Kupumula ku ntchito zathu zonse kumatheka kokha pamene tibwerera kwa Mulungu, kumphatikiza m’moyo wathu, kumkonda ndi kuyesetsa kumvera lamulo lake lopatsidwa kwa ife kupyolera mwa Kristu, lamulo losalemetsa. Zingatheke bwanji? Zimazikidwa pa chikondi!

Choncho musamvere anthu amene akukuuzani kuti kuti mupulumuke, muyenera kusunga tsiku lenileni la sabata. Iwo akuyesera kupeza chipulumutso kudzera mu ntchito. Iwo ali ofanana amakono ndi a Chiyuda amene anavutitsa mpingo wa m’zaka za zana loyamba ndi kugogomezera kwawo mdulidwe. Ayi! Timapulumutsidwa ndi chikhulupiriro, ndipo kumvera kwathu ndi lamulo lapamwamba la Khristu lozikidwa pa chikondi.

Zikomo pomvera. Zikomo kwambiri chifukwa chopitiliza kuthandizira ntchitoyi.
