Munthu Wamkulu Kuposa Mose

 8. Mwa kunena zimene zinalembedwa pa Ahebri 3:1, kodi Paulo anali kulimbikitsa Akristu anzake kuti achite chiyani?

⁸ Pofotokoza mfundo yofunika kwambiri, Paulo analemba kuti: “Lingirirani za Mtumwi ndi Mkulu wa ansembe wa chivomerezo chathu, Yesu.” (Ahebri 3:1) “Kulingirira” kumatanthauza “kuzindikira bwino . . . , kudziŵa bwino, kupenda mosamalitsa.” (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words) Choncho, Paulo anali kupempha okhulupirira anzake kuti ayesetse mwakhama kuzindikira bwino za ntchito imene Yesu anagwira pachikhulupiriro ndi chipulumutso chawo. Ngati iwo akanachita zimenezi akanakhala otsimikiza kuchirimika pachikhulupiriro. Nangano, kodi ntchito ya Yesu inali yotani, ndipo nchifukwa ninji tiyenera “kulingirira” za iye?

 9. Kodi nchifukwa ninji Paulo ananena kuti Yesu ndi “mtumwi” ndiponso “mkulu wa ansembe”?

⁹ Paulo anagwiritsira ntchito mawu akuti “mtumwi” ndiponso “mkulu wa ansembe” pofotokoza za Yesu. “Mtumwi” ndi munthu wotumidwa ndipo panopo akunena za njira ya Mulungu yolankhulira ndi anthu. “Mkulu wa ansembe” ndi munthu amene anthu angafikire Mulungu kudzera mwa iye. Makonzedwe aŵiri ameneŵa ngofunika kwambiri pa kulambira koona, ndipo Yesu ndiye zonse ziŵirizo. Iye ndiye amene anatumidwa kuchokera kumwamba kudzaphunzitsa anthu za choonadi chonena za Mulungu. (Yohane 1:18; 3:16; 14:6) Yesu anaikidwanso kukhala Mkulu wa Ansembe wophiphiritsira m’makonzedwe a kachisi wauzimu wa Yehova kaamba ka chikhululukiro cha machimo. (Ahebri 4:14, 15; 1 Yohane 2:1, 2) Ngati timadziŵadi madalitso amene tingalandire kudzera mwa Yesu, tidzalimba mtima ndi kutsimikiza kuchirimika pachikhulupiriro.

11, 12. Kodi nchiyani chomwe Paulo analangiza Akristu achihebri kuti achigwiritse “kuchigwira kufikira chitsiriziro,” ndipo kodi tingagwiritsire ntchito motani uphungu umenewu?

¹¹ Zoonadi, Akristu achihebri anali ndi mwayi waukulu. Paulo anawakumbutsa kuti iwo anali “olandirana nawo maitanidwe akumwamba,” mwayi waukulu kwambiri kuposa chilichonse chomwe chinali m’dongosolo lachiyuda. (Ahebri 3:1) Mawu a Paulo ayenera kuti anapangitsa Akristu odzozedwa amenewo kukhala oyamikira chifukwa chakuti anali kuyembekezera choloŵa chatsopano mmalo modzimvera chisoni chifukwa chotaya chilichonse chokhudzana ndi choloŵa chawo chachiyuda. (Afilipi 3:8) Powalangiza kuti agwiritsitse mwayi wawo ndiponso kuti asauone mopepuka, Paulo anati: “Kristu monga mwana, wosunga nyumba yake [ya Mulungu]; ndife nyumba yake, ngati tigwiritsa kulimbika mtima ndi kudzitamandira kwa chiyembekezocho, kuchigwira kufikira chitsiriziro.”​—Ahebri 3:6.
