(Luka 12:32; Chiv. 5:9, 10; 14:1-3) Koma sikuti nthawi iliyonse imene Yesu ankalankhula za moyo wosatha, ankaganiza za gulu lokhalo. Taganizirani zimene iye anauza ophunzira ake ataona kuti mnyamata wachuma uja wachoka ali wachisoni pokana zoti asiye chuma chake chonse ndi kukhala wotsatira wa Khristu. (Werengani Mateyo 19:28, 29.) Yesu anauza atumwi ake kuti iwo adzakhala m’gulu la olamulira monga mafumu ndi kuweruza “mafuko 12 a Isiraeli,” kutanthauza anthu onse amene sali m’gulu lokalamulira kumwambali.

5. Kodi mawu akuti “panthawi ya kukonzanso zinthu” amatanthauza chiyani?

Chiyembekezocho chinali chakuti kudzakhala kukonzanso zinthu padziko lapansi, kuti zikhale ngati mmene zinalili m’munda wa Edene, Adamu ndi Hava asanachimwe. Kukonzanso zinthu kumeneku kudzakwaniritsa lonjezo la Mulungu lakuti ‘adzalenga kumwamba kwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano.’—Yes. 65:17.
6. Kodi fanizo la nkhosa ndi mbuzi likutiphunzitsa chiyani za chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha?
6 Yesu analankhulanso za moyo wosatha pofotokoza za mapeto a dongosolo lino la zinthu.

Ndipo mitundu yonse ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa kwa iye, ndipo adzalekanitsa anthu, mmene m’busa amalekanitsira nkhosa ndi mbuzi.” Anthu amene adzaweruzidwa kuti ndi oipa “adzachoka kupita ku chiwonongeko chotheratu, koma olungama kumoyo wosatha.” Anthu “olungama” amene adzalandira moyo wosatha ndi amene mokhulupirika amathandiza “abale” a Khristu odzozedwa ndi mzimu. (Mat. 25:31-34, 40, 41, 45, 46) Popeza kuti odzozedwa amasankhidwa kuti akalamulire mu Ufumu wakumwamba, anthu “olungama” ayenera kukhala nzika zapadziko lapansi za Ufumuwo. Baibulo linalosera kuti Mfumu yosankhidwa ndi Yehova idzakhala ndi nzika za Ufumu wake kuchokera kunyanja kufikira kunyanja, ndi kuchokera ku Mtsinje kufikira malekezero a dziko lapansi. (Sal. 72:8) Nzika zimenezi zidzakhala ndi moyo wosatha padziko lapansi.

Yesu anauza Nikodemo kuti: “Munthu sangathe kulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu atapanda kubadwa mwa madzi ndi mzimu.” Anthu amene adzalowa mu Ufumu wakumwamba ayenera “kubadwanso.” (Yoh. 3:3-5) Koma Yesu sanalekere pomwepo. Iye ananenanso za chiyembekezo chimene anthu onse padziko lapansi angakhale nacho. (Werengani Yohane 3:16.)

Anthu amenewa akuphatikizapo amene adzakhale padziko lapansi. Buku la Chivumbulutso, limafotokoza kuti Mulungu akunena kuti: “Aliyense wakumva ludzu, ndidzam’patsa madzi a m’kasupe wa moyo kwaulere.” (Chiv. 21:5, 6; 22:17) Motero moyo wosatha umene Yesu anauza mayi wachisamariya uja, ndi wa odzozedwa odzalowa Ufumu, ndiponso wa anthu okhulupirira amene ali ndi chiyembekezo chodzakhala padziko lapansi.
10. Atachiritsa munthu padziwe la Betesida, kodi Yesu ananena zotani zokhudza moyo wosatha kwa atsogoleri a chipembedzo omwe ankamutsutsa?

Yesu anauza Ayuda omwe ankamutsutsa chifukwa cha zimene anachitazi kuti: “Mwanayo sangachite chilichonse chongoganiza payekha, koma chokhacho chimene waona Atate wake akuchita.” Atawauza kuti Atate “wapereka udindo wonse woweruza kwa Mwana,” Yesu anati: “Iye wakumva mawu anga ndi kukhulupirira iye amene anandituma ine ali nawo moyo wosatha.” Kenako ananenanso kuti: “Idzafika nthawi pamene onse ali m’manda a chikumbutso adzamva mawu [a Mwana wa munthu] ndipo adzatuluka. Amene anali kuchita zabwino adzauka kuti alandire moyo, amene anachita zoipa adzauka kuti aweruzidwe.” (Yoh. 5:1-9, 19, 22, 24-29) Pamenepa, Yesu ankauza Ayuda omwe anali kumutsutsawo kuti iye anasankhidwa ndi Mulungu kuti akwaniritse chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi chimene Ayudawo anali nacho ndipo adzachita zimenezi mwa kuukitsa akufa.
11. Kodi tikudziwa bwanji kuti mawu a Yesu a pa Yohane 6:48-51 amanenanso za chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi?

Ndipo iye anawauza za mtundu wina wa chakudya chomwe ndi “chakudya chopatsa moyo.” (Werengani Yohane 6:40, 48-51.) Yesu anati: “Chakudya chimene ndidzapereka . . . ndicho mnofu wangawu.” Iye anapereka moyo wake m’malo mwa anthu amene adzalamulire naye mu Ufumu kumwamba, komanso “kuti dzikoli lipeze moyo.” Mawu akuti “dzikoli” akutanthauza anthu otheka kuwawombola. “Ngati wina adyako chakudya chimenechi,” kutanthauza kukhulupirira mphamvu yowombola ya nsembe ya Yesu, adzakhala ndi chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha. Ndithudi, mawu a Yesu ofotokoza za ‘moyo wosatha’ amanenanso za chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi mu ulamuliro wa Mesiya chimene Ayuda anali nacho kwa nthawi yaitali.
12. Kodi Yesu ankanena za chiyembekezo chiti pamene anauza anthu amene ankamutsutsa kuti ‘adzapatsa nkhosa zake moyo wosatha’?
12 Kenako pa Chikondwerero cha Kupatula Kachisi ku Yerusalemu, Yesu anauza anthu amene ankamutsutsa kuti: “Koma inu simukhulupirira, chifukwa sindinu nkhosa zanga. Nkhosa zanga zimamva mawu anga, ine ndimazidziwa, izonso zimanditsatira. Ndimazipatsa moyo wosatha.” (Yoh. 10:26-28) Kodi pamenepa Yesu ankanena za moyo wakumwamba wokha kapena ankanenanso za moyo wosatha m’paradaiso padziko lapansi? Yesu anali atangolimbikitsa kumene otsatira ake ndi mawu akuti: “Musaope, kagulu ka nkhosa inu, chifukwa Atate wanu wavomereza kukupatsani ufumu.” (Luka 12:32) Komabe ali pachikondwerero chomwechi, Yesu ananenanso kuti: “Nkhosa zina ndili nazo, zimene sizili za khola ili; zimenezonso ndiyenera kuzibweretsa.” (Yoh. 10:16) Choncho mawu amene Yesu anauza anthu amene ankamutsutsa aja, amanena za chiyembekezo cha moyo wakumwamba cha “kagulu ka nkhosa” ndiponso chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi cha anthu mamiliyoni ambiri a “nkhosa zina.”
Chiyembekezo Chimene Sichinafunikire Kuchifotokoza

13 Akumva ululu pamtengo wozunzikirapo, Yesu anapereka umboni wosatsutsika wa chiyembekezo cha anthu. Munthu wochita zoipa amene anapachikidwa pambali pake anati: “Yesu, mukandikumbukire mukakalowa mu ufumu wanu.” Ndipo Yesu anamulonjeza kuti: “Ndithu ndikukuuza lero, Iwe udzakhala nane m’Paradaiso.” (Luka 23:42, 43) Popeza munthu ameneyu anali Myuda, sanafunikire kufotokozeredwa za Paradaiso. Iye ankadziwa za chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi latsopano.
14. (a) N’chiyani chikusonyeza kuti chiyembekezo chopita kumwamba chinali chovuta kwa atumwi kuti achimvetse? (b) Kodi ndi liti pamene otsatira a Yesu anayamba kumvetsa za chiyembekezo chopita kumwamba?

Koma iyeyo akadzafika, mzimu wa choonadi, adzakutsogolerani m’choonadi chonse.” (Yoh. 16:12, 13) Pambuyo pa Pentekosite wa mu 33 C.E., otsatira a Yesu atadzozedwa ndi mzimu wa Mulungu kuti adzakhale mafumu m’tsogolo, m’pamene anazindikira kuti adzakalamulira kumwamba. (1 Akor. 15:49; Akol. 1:5; 1 Pet. 1:3, 4) Chiyembekezo chokalandira moyo kumwamba chinali mfundo yatsopano, ndipo chinakhala nkhani yaikulu ya m’makalata ouziridwa a Malemba Achigiriki Achikristu. Koma kodi makalata amenewa amatsimikiziranso za chiyembekezo cha anthu cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi?
Kodi Makalata Ouziridwa Amati Chiyani?
15, 16. Kodi mawu a m’kalata youziridwa yopita kwa Aheberi ndiponso mawu a Petulo amasonyeza motani za chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha padziko lapansi?
15 M’kalata yake yopita kwa Aheberi, Paulo anatchula okhulupirira anzake kuti “abale athu oyera, otenga mbali m’chiitano cha kumwamba.” Koma ananenanso kuti Mulungu anaika “dziko lapansi lokhala anthu likudzalo” pansi pa Yesu. (Aheb. 2:3, 5; 3:1) Motero “dziko lapansi lokhala anthu likudzalo” likuimira dongosolo la zinthu lam’tsogolo la padziko lapansi mu ulamuliro wa Yesu Khristu. Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu adzakwaniritsa lonjezo la Mulungu lakuti: “Olungama adzalandira dziko lapansi, nadzakhala momwemo kosatha.”—Sal. 37:29.
16 Mtumwi Petulo anauziridwanso kulemba zokhudza tsogolo la anthu. Iye analemba kuti: “Miyamba imene ilipo tsopano limodzi ndi dziko lapansi, azisungira moto m’tsiku la chiweruzo ndi chiwonongeko cha anthu osaopa Mulungu.” (2 Pet. 3:7) Kodi n’chiyani chidzalowe m’malo mwa miyamba imene ilipo tsopano, yomwe ndi maboma omwe alipowa? Nanga n’chiyani chomwe chidzalowe m’malo mwa anthu oipa? (Werengani 2 Petulo 3:13.) Mabomawa adzalowedwa m’malo ndi “miyamba yatsopano,” yomwe ndi Ufumu wa Mesiya wa Mulungu. Ndipo anthu oipa adzalowedwa m’malo ndi “dziko lapansi latsopano,” lomwe ndi gulu la anthu olungama omwe amalambira Mulungu woona.

17 Buku lomaliza la m’Baibulo ndi lochititsa chidwi kwambiri chifukwa lili ndi masomphenya osonyeza anthu atakhalanso angwiro. (Werengani Chivumbulutso 21:1-4.) Anthu onse okhulupirira akhala akuyembekezera zimenezi kuyambira kale kwambiri pamene anthu anataya ungwiro m’munda wa Edene. Anthu olungama adzakhala m’Paradaiso kosatha ndipo sadzakalambanso. Chiyembekezo chimenechi n’chozikidwa pa Malemba Achihebri ndiponso Malemba Achigiriki Achikristu, ndipo chikulimbitsabe chikhulupiriro cha atumiki a Yehova mpaka pano.—Chiv. 22:1, 2.
