Iye anapitirirabe kusangalala ndi kuchita chifuniro cha Atate wake, ngakhale pamene anazunzidwa kwambiri.

(Werengani Yesaya 42:1-7.) Muutumiki wake ali padziko pano, Yesu anakwaniritsa ulosi umenewu m’njira yodabwitsa kwambiri. M’nkhani imene analemba m’buku lake la uthenga wabwino, Mateyo anagwira mawu a pa Yesaya 42:1-4 n’kunena kuti mawuwo ankanena za Yesu.—Mat. 12:15-21.

Koma Yesu ankachitira chifundo anthu osauka ndi ovutika.

(Yes. 42:3) Iye anasonyezanso kuti Chilamulo cha Mulungu chiyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito m’njira yoyenera ndiponso mwachifundo. (Mat. 23:23) Yesu anasonyezanso chilungamo polalikira mopanda tsankho kwa olemera ndi osauka omwe.—Mat. 11:5; Luka 18:18-23.
10 Ulosi wa Yesaya umanenanso kuti “Wosankhidwa “ wa Yehova ‘adzakhazikitsa chiweruzo m’dziko lapansi.’ (Yes. 42:4) Iye achita zimenezi posachedwapa.

(Mat. 15:24; Mac. 3:26) Yesu anatinso: “Ine ndine kuwala kwa dziko.” (Yoh. 8:12) Iye anakhala kuunika kwa Ayuda ndiponso anthu amitundu ndipo anatero powaunikira mwauzimu komanso popereka moyo wake wangwiro kuti awombole anthu onse. (Mat. 20:28) Ataukitsidwa, iye analamula ophunzira ake kuti akhale mboni zake “mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.” (Mac. 1:8) Pantchito yawo yolalikira, Paulo ndi Baranaba anagwira mawu akuti “kuunika kwa amitundu,” ndipo anati mawuwa ankanena za ntchito imene iwowo ankachita yolalikira anthu amene sanali Ayuda. (Mac. 13:46-48; yerekezerani ndi Yesaya 49:6.) Ntchito imeneyi ikupitirirabe chifukwa abale ake a Yesu limodzi ndi anzawo a nkhosa zina, akufalitsabe uthenga wabwino umene umaunikira anthu mwauzimu. Iwo akuthandizanso anthu kuyamba kukhulupirira Yesu, yemwe ali “kuunika kwa amitundu.”

12 Muulosi womwewo, Yehova anauza Mtumiki wake wosankhidwa kuti: ‘Ndikusunga iwe, ndi kukupatsa ukhale pangano la anthu.’ (Yes. 42:6) Satana anayesetsa kupha Yesu komanso kumuletsa kutsiriza utumiki wake padziko lapansi, koma Yehova anamuteteza mpaka itafika nthawi yoti adzafe. (Mat. 2:13; Yoh. 7:30) Kenaka Yehova anamuukitsa Yesu n’kumupereka kuti akhale “pangano,” kapena kuti lonjezo kwa anthu a padziko lapansi. Lonjezo limenelo linapereka chitsimikizo chakuti Mtumiki wokhulupirika wa Mulunguyu adzakhalabe “kuunika kwa amitundu,” kuunikira anthu onse okhala mumdima wauzimu.—Werengani Yesaya 49:8, 9.b
13. Kodi Yesu anapulumutsa motani “amene akhala mumdima” pamene anali kuchita utumiki wake padziko pano, komanso panopo?
13 Mogwirizana ndi pangano limeneli, Mtumiki wa Yehova wosankhidwayu ‘adzatsegula maso akhungu,’ ‘adzatulutsa am’nsinga m’ndende,’ ndi kupulumutsa “amene akhala mumdima.” (Yes. 42:7) Yesu akuchita utumiki wake padziko lapansi pano, anakwaniritsa ulosi umenewu polalikira uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu ndi kutsutsa miyambo ya chipembedzo chonyenga. (Mat. 15:3; Luka 8:1) Motero Ayuda amene anakhala ophunzira ake anawapulumutsa ku chipembedzo chonyenga. (Yoh. 8:31, 32) Mofanana ndi zimenezi, Yesu wathandizanso anthu mamiliyoni ambiri omwe si Ayuda kuphunzira choonadi. Iye analamula anthu om’tsatira kuti: “Pitani mukapange ophunzira mwa anthu a mitundu yonse,” ndipo anawalonjeza kuti adzakhala nawo “mpaka mapeto a dongosolo lino la zinthu.” (Mat. 28:19, 20) Panopo, Khristu Yesu akuyang’anira ntchito yolalikira ya padziko lonse ali kumwamba.
Yehova Anakweza “Mtumiki” Wake

15 Mtumwi Petulo ananena kuti Yesu “ali ku dzanja lamanja la Mulungu, pakuti anapita kumwamba; ndipo angelo ndi maulamuliro ndi mphamvu zinakhala pansi pake.” (1 Pet. 3:22) Mtumwi Paulo analembanso kuti Yesu “anadzichepetsa nakhala womvera mpaka imfa, inde, imfa ya pa mtengo wozunzikirapo. Pachifukwa chimenechinso, Mulungu anam’kweza pamalo apamwamba. Ndipo anam’komera mtima kum’patsa dzina loposa lina lililonse. Anatero kuti m’dzina la Yesu, onse apinde maondo awo, aja akumwamba, a padziko lapansi, ndi a pansi pa nthaka. Kutinso aliyense avomereze poyera ndi lilime lake kuti Yesu Khristu ndiye Ambuye, polemekeza Mulungu Atate.”—Afil. 2:8-11.
