Yezu Ndi Njira, Undimomwene Na Umaso

Mu ndzidzi ukhali Yezu na apostolo ace mu sala yapadzulu pakumala kudya cakudya cancidodo, iye aapanga mafala akuwangisa kuti: “Lekani kunentseka m’mitima yanu. Khulupirani Mulungu; khulupiranimbo ine pano.”—Juwau 13:36; 14:1.

Yezu apanga apostolo ace akukhulupirika kuti nee akhafunika kunentseka mu ndzidzi ukhafuna iye kuenda kudzulu. Iye alonga: “N’nyumba mwa Baba wanga muli na mbuto zizinji zakukhala. . . . Ine ndingaenda kakusasanyirani mbuto, ndinabwera pontho kudzakukwatani, toera imwe mukhalembo kule kunakhala ine. Kunaenda ine, njira yace imwe musaidziwa.” Tomasi ambvundza: “Mbuya, ife nkhabe dziwa kunaenda imwe. Mphapo tinakwanisa tani kudziwa njira?”—Juwau 14:2-5.

Yezu atawira: “Ine ndine njira, undimomwene na umaso.” Anapita n’nyumba yakudzulu ya Baba wace basi ene ndi ale anan’khulupira, anabvera pipfundziso pyace na kutowezera citsandzo cace. Iye alonga: “Nkhabe munthu anaenda kuna Baba mbakhonda kupita na pana ine.”—Juwau 14:6.

Filipi wakuti akhabvesera pikhalonga Yezu, aphemba: “Mbuya, tipangizeni Baba wanu, pyenepi pinakwana kuna ife.” Panango Filipi akhafuna kuona cidzindikiro ca mphambvu ya Mulungu ninga masomphenya adaona Mose, Eliya na Izaiya. Mbwenye apostolo nee akhafunika kuona masomphenya, thangwi Yezu akhadaapanga kuti: “Ndiri na imwe mu ndzidzi uzinji kakamwe, mphapo iwe Filipi udzati kundidziwa? Ule anandiona akuonambo Baba.” Yezu apangiza mwadidi makhaliro a Baba wace; natenepa, kukhala pabodzi na iye na kuona pikhacita iye pikhali ninga kuona Baba wace. Mwandimomwene Baba ndi nkulu kupiringana Mwana, thangwi Yezu alonga: “Pinthu pinakupangani ine nee pisabuluka muna ine, mbwenye Baba wakuti asapitiriza kukhala na ine, ndiye anacita mabasace.” (Juwau 14:8-10) Na mafala anewa, anyakupfundza akwanisa kuona kuti pyonsene pikhalonga Yezu pikhabuluka kuna Baba wace.

Apostolo aona Yezu mbakacita mabasa akudzumisa, pontho abvesera mafalace mu ndzidzi ukhamwaza iye mphangwa zadidi za Umambo wa Mulungu. Natenepa, Yezu aapanga: “Munthu anandikhulupira anadzacitambo mabasa anacita ine; pontho anadzacita mabasa makulu kupiringana anacita ine.” (Juwau 14:12) Yezu nee akhalonga kuti iwo mbadacita pirengo pikulu kupiringana pidacita iye. Mbwenye akhalonga kuti iwo mbadamwaza mphangwa mu ndzidzi uzinji, m’mbuto zizinji, pontho kuna anthu azinji kakamwe.

Yezu angaenda kudzulu, apostolo nee anadzaona ninga asiyiwa, thangwi iye apikira: “Cinthu consene cinaphemba imwe mu dzina yanga, ine ndinadzacicita.” Pontho iye aapanga: “Ine ndinadzaphemba Baba, penepo iye anadzakupasani m’phedzi unango toera akhale na imwe kwenda na kwenda. M’phedzi unoyu ndi nzimu wakucena wa undimomwene.” (Juwau 14:14,16, 17) Iye aapasa cinyindiro kuti mbadatambira nzimu wakucena, wakuti mbudaaphedza. Pyenepi pyacitika mu ntsiku ya Pentekoste.

Yezu alonga: “Thimize pang’ono dziko inadzandionabve tayu, mbwenye imwe munadzandiona, thangwi ine ndiri maso imwembo munadzakhala maso.” (Juwau 14:19) Pakumala kulamuswa, Yezu mbadaonekera kuna apostolo ace, pontho mukupita kwa ndzidzi mbadaalamusambo na manungo auzimu toera aende kakhala na iye kudzulu.

Yezu aapanga ntsonga inango yakubveka mwadidi: “Ule anatawira matongero anga mbaabvera, unoyu ndiye anandifuna. Pontho, munthu anandifuna anadzafuniwambo na Baba wanga, inembo ndinadzanfuna mbandipangizika pakweca kuna iye.” Mpostolo Yuda akhacemerwambo na dzina yakuti Tadheu, pidabva iye mafala anewa, abvundza: “Mbuya, thangwi yanji imwe musafuna kupangizika pakweca kuna ife, mbamukhonda kupangizika kuna dziko?” Yezu antawira: “Munthu angandifuna, anadzabvera mafala anga, pontho iye anadzafuniwa na Baba wanga . . . Munthu anakhonda kundifuna nkhabe kubvera mafala anga.” (Juwau 14:21-24) Mwakusiyana na atowereri ace, anthu a dziko nee akhadziwa kuti Yezu ndi njira, undimomwene na umaso.

Yezu angaenda kudzulu, anyakupfundzace anakwanisa tani kukumbuka pyonsene pidaapfundzisa iye? Yezu alonga: “M’phedzi wakuti ndi nzimu wakucena unafuna kutumiza Baba wanga mu dzina yanga, unadzakupfundzisani pinthu pyonsene, mbukukumbusani pinthu pyonsene pidakupangani ine.” Mafala anewa apasa cinyindiro apostolo, thangwi iwo aona Yezu mbakacita pirengo pyakudzumisa na ciphedzo ca nzimu wakucena. Yezu apitiriza kulonga: “Ine ndinakusiyirani ntendere; ine ndinakupasani ntendere. . . . Lekani kunentseka m’mitima yanu, pontho lekani kugopa.” (Juwau 14:26, 27) Anyakupfundza nee akhafunika kunentseka peno kugopa thangwi iwo mbadatsogolerwa, pontho mbadatsidzikizwa na Baba wa Yezu.

Mwakukhonda dembuka, iwo mbadaona kuti Mulungu akuatsidzikiza. Yezu alonga: “Ntongi wa dziko ino ali kubwera. Iye nkhabe mphambvu kuna ine.” (Juwau 14:30) Dyabo apita muna Yuda mbatsogolera manyerezero ace. Mbwenye Sathani nee akwanisa kunyengeza Yezu toera asiye kutumikira Mulungu thangwi Yezu nee akhali nyakudawa, pontho nee akhanyerezera pinthu pyakuipa. Kusiyapo pyenepi, Dyabo nee mbadacitisa Yezu kukhala mu nthumbi kwenda na kwenda. Thangwi yanji? Yezu alonga: “Ine ndisacita pinthu ninga mudandipangira Baba.” Iye akhanyindira kuti Baba wace mbadamulamusa.—Juwau 14:31.
